  • (b) the Top Up Offer is capped at a maximum of 50% of the Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement;

  • (e) the Issue Price of Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer is the same as the Issue Price, which is A$0.11 per Additional New Share; and

  • (f) the Company will not issue Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer where to do so would result in a breach of its constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

1.4

Underwriting

The Offer is fully underwritten by Petra Capital. Please refer to Section 5 of this Offer Document for further details.

The Company will pay Petra Capital an underwriting commission, management and pricing fee on completion of the Entitlement Offer for underwriting the Entitlement Offer.

1.5

Issue of New Shares

New Shares under the Entitlement Offer are expected to be issued on or around 25 October 2016 (subject to change at the discretion of the Company).

The Company reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or otherwise incorrect or if they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

1.6

1.8 Market prices for Shares on ASX

The lowest and highest market prices of Shares on ASX during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of this Offer Document were A$0.094 and A$0.16 respectively.

The Issue Price of A$0.11 per New Share represents:

  • (b) a 8.1% discount to the 5 day VWAP to the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 19 September 2016; and

  • (c) a 7.3% discount to the theoretical ex rights price.[2]

1.9

Foreign Shareholders

The New Shares being offered under this Offer Document are being offered to Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand.

The Entitlement Offer will not be offered to Non Eligible Foreign Shareholders, other than certain institutional shareholders and investors in foreign jurisdictions determined by the Directors. The Company has determined that it is not economically viable and/or practicable for it to make offers to Non Eligible Foreign Shareholders due to the cost of meeting compliance requirements with securities laws in each applicable jurisdiction in which Non Eligible Foreign Shareholders reside. The Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to offer the Entitlement Offer to a Shareholder with an address in the Company's share register outside Australia or New Zealand if the Company is satisfied that it is not precluded from lawfully issuing New Shares to that Shareholder either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the Directors in their sole discretion regard as acceptable.

For further details see section 3 of the Additional information section of this Offer Document.

1.11 Taxation implications

Shareholders should be aware that there may be taxation implications of participating in the Entitlement Offer and subscribing for New Shares. These taxation consequences may vary depending on the individual circumstances of each Shareholder.

Please refer to Section 4 of this Offer Document for a general discussion of the Australian taxation consequences of the Entitlement Offer for Eligible Shareholders resident in Australia and who hold their Shares as capital assets.

Shareholders should consult their own professional taxation adviser to obtain advice in relation to the taxation laws and regulations applicable to their personal circumstances.

The TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Shares trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to the TERP.

1.13 Regular reporting and disclosure

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and is therefore subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

2. Risk factors

2.1

Introduction

The Company's operations are subject to a number of risks which may impact on its future performance and forecasts. Before subscribing for New Shares, Shareholders should carefully consider and evaluate the Company and its business and whether the New Shares are suitable to acquire having regard to their own investment objectives and financial circumstances and taking into consideration the material risk factors.

In particular, Shareholders should consider the risk factors outlined in the Key Risks section of the Investor Presentation included in this Offer Document, any of which could affect the operating and financial performance of the Company or the value of an investment in the Company. The risk factors set out in the Key Risks section of the Investor Presentation are not exhaustive.

You should consult your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other independent professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer. The Company has applied to ASX for the grant of official quotation of the New Shares. It is expected that normal trading on ASX will commence in relation to New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer on 25 October 2016. The Company will have no responsibility and disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for negligence) to persons who trade New Shares before the New Shares are listed on the official list of ASX or before they receive their written confirmation of issue, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company, the Share Registry or Petra Capital. ASX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Offer Document.

2.2 New Zealand Shareholders

New Zealand Shareholders should also consider the taxation and currency risks associated with investing in New Shares.

3. Foreign jurisdictions

The information in this Offer Document does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer, and no action has been taken to register the Shares or otherwise permit a public offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside of Australia or New Zealand. Return of the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or your BPAY® payment will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation by you that there has been no breach of any such laws. Due to legal restrictions, nominees and custodians may not send copies of this Offer Document or any material relating to the Entitlement Offer or accept the Entitlement Offer in relation to any person in the United States, or any other person acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, or to any person in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand except to beneficial Shareholders who are institutional or professional investors in certain foreign countries to the extent contemplated in the Investor Presentation under the Foreign selling restrictions section or as the Company may otherwise permit in compliance with applicable law.

3.1 United States

This Offer Document, and any accompanying ASX announcements and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States.

Neither the New Shares nor the Entitlements may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly in the United States or to any other person acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States. Neither the New Shares nor the Entitlements in the Entitlement Offer have been, nor will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act. Accordingly, the New Shares and the Entitlements in the Entitlement Offer will be offered and sold to persons that are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, in each case, only in "offshore transactions" as defined in Rule 902(h) under the U.S. Securities Act) in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. Because of these legal restrictions, you must not

distribute, release or send this Offer Document or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or copies thereof, or any other material relating to the Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States. Persons acting as nominees for other persons must not participate in the Entitlement Offer and the nominee must not take up any Entitlement on behalf of, or send any materials related to the Entitlement Offer to, any person in the United States or any person that is acting for the account or benefit of a persons in the United States.

3.2 New Zealand

The New Shares are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of New Shares is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand).

This Offer Document has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Securities Act 1978 (New Zealand). This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.

4. Taxation

Taxation is only one of the matters that must be considered when making a decision whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer and subscribe for New Shares.

Set out below is a summary of the Australian taxation implications of participating in the Entitlement Offer for Eligible Shareholders who are residents of Australia for taxation purposes and who hold their Shares as capital assets.

This section does not consider the Australian taxation consequences for particular types of Eligible Shareholders, including those who:

  • (a) hold their Shares as assets used in carrying on a business or who may carry on the business of share trading, banking or investment; or

  • (b) hold their Shares through an employee share scheme or whose Shares are held as revenue assets or trading stock; or

  • (c) may be subject to special taxation rules, such as insurance companies, partnerships, income tax exempt organisations, trusts (except where expressly stated), superannuation funds (except where expressly stated) or temporary residents; or

  • (d) are tax residents of any jurisdiction other than Australia (including New Zealand).

The summary below is based on the law in effect as at the date of this Offer Document, is general in nature and should not be relied on by Eligible Shareholders as tax advice. Eligible Shareholders should seek specific advice applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own financial or tax advisers.

4.2 Australian Income tax

Issue of Entitlements

Subject to the qualifications noted above and assuming that the Eligible Shareholder continues to hold their Shares until the issue of the Entitlements, the issue of the Entitlements will not, of itself, result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder on the basis that the Entitlements satisfy the requirements in section 59-40 of the Income Tax

Offer Document

Page 20

ME_131575722_17 (W2007)

Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) and will therefore be treated as non-assessable and non-exempt income of the Eligible Shareholder.

Exercise of Entitlements and cost base of New Shares

Eligible Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements and subscribe for New Shares will acquire those Shares with a cost base and reduced cost base for CGT purposes equal to the Issue Price payable by them for those shares plus any non-deductible incidental costs they incur in acquiring them. Eligible Shareholders will not make any capital gain or loss, or derive assessable income, from exercising the Entitlements or subscribing for the New Shares.

4.3 New Shares

Taxation of income for Eligible Shareholders

Eligible Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Shares. Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of those New Shares will be subject to the same taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on Shares held in the same circumstances.

For Eligible Shareholders to be eligible for a tax offset in relation to any franking credits attached to a dividend paid by the Company on the New Shares, they will need to hold the New Shares at risk for at least 45 days, not counting the day of acquisition or disposal (referred to as the holding period rule ). The holding period rule generally only needs to be satisfied once for the New Shares and will apply in respect of the New Shares beginning on the day after the day on which the Eligible Shareholder acquires the New Shares. This rule does not apply if the Eligible Shareholder is an individual whose total franking credit entitlement for the year of income of the individual in which the dividend is received does not exceed A$5,000.

Taxation of disposals for Eligible Shareholders

The disposal of New Shares will give rise to a CGT event for Eligible Shareholders. Eligible Shareholders may make a capital gain or capital loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds of that disposal are more than the cost base or less than the reduced cost base of the New Shares. The cost base and reduced cost base will include the Issue Price payable by Eligible Shareholders for those shares plus any non deductible incidental costs they incur in acquiring and disposing of the New Shares.

New Shares will be treated for the purposes of the CGT rules as having been acquired when the Eligible Shareholder exercised the Entitlement to subscribe for them. In order to benefit from the CGT discount that may be available to individuals, trusts and complying superannuation funds in respect of a disposal of the New Shares, the New Shares must have been held for at least 12 months before the disposal of the New Shares (calculated by excluding the date of acquisition and the date of disposal). The CGT discount for individuals and trusts is 50%. The discount for complying superannuation funds is 33.33%. A company is not entitled to the CGT discount.

Capital losses may be offset against other capital gains in the same income year or, subject to the relevant loss recoupment rules, carried forward and offset against future capital gains. The trust loss recoupment rules do not apply to capital losses of a trust.

Taxation of a return of capital by the Company

Where a return of capital is made by the Company, the cost base and reduced cost base of the Eligible Shareholder's New Shares for CGT purposes will be reduced by the amount of the return of capital, with any excess over the cost base triggering a capital gain. In some circumstances, where the Eligible Shareholder disposes of their New Shares in the period between becoming entitled to the return of capital and its actual payment, the Eligible Shareholder will generally make a capital gain equal to the amount of the return of capital. The amount returned may also include a dividend component, or be deemed under taxation law to include a dividend component, which will be subject to tax as set out above.

4.4

Goods and Services Tax and Stamp Duty

No Australian GST or stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue or exercise of the Entitlement Offer, nor in respect of the acquisition of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer as set out in this Offer Document. Eligible Shareholders may be charged GST on third party brokerage or advisor

Offer Document

Page 21

ME_131575722_17 (W2007)

costs in respect of the issue or exercise of the Entitlement Offer or the acquisition of New Shares, depending on their individual circumstances.

5. Underwriting

On 21 September 2016, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Petra Capital who has agreed to underwrite the Entitlement Offer on the terms and conditions set out in the underwriting agreement ( Underwriting Agreement ).

The Underwriting Agreement contains terms and conditions customary for an agreement of that nature, including warranties and indemnities in favour of Petra Capital.

Petra Capital may immediately terminate the Underwriting Agreement and be released from its obligations under it (in certain circumstances, including having regard to the materiality of the relevant event) by written notice to the Company without cost or liability on any one or more of the following termination events including where:

  • (a) the Company is removed from the official list of ASX or the Shares cease to be quoted or are suspended from quotation by ASX;

  • (b) a representation or warranty made or given or deemed to have been made or given by the Company under the Underwriting Agreement proves to be, or has been, or becomes, untrue or incorrect in any respect;

  • (c) there is a material adverse change in, or an event occurs which gives rise to, or is likely to give rise to, a material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, earnings, business, affairs, results of operations, management or prospects of the Company;

  • (d) the Company alters its share capital or its constitution;

  • (e) a statement contained in the offer materials is or becomes misleading or deceptive (including by omission) or likely to mislead or deceive; and

  • (f) there are material disruptions in financial or economic conditions in key markets or hostilities commence or escalate in certain key countries.

Please note that the above is a summary of the material termination events in the Underwriting Agreement and not an exhaustive list. Petra Capital will receive a fee of 4.75% of the value of the New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer.

Investment Highlights, Strategy and Outlook

Investment Highlights

Adslot operates in a US$51bn global market growing at 20% CAGR…

  • In 2015 Online Display advertising was a US$66.2bn market and is now bigger than Paid Search marketing (US$62.5b)

  • Within this, Adslot’s media trading technology is focused on the US$51bn Forward Guaranteed segment of this market.

  • Online Display advertising is growing at approximately 20% CAGR, underpinned by the shift in consumption of media to digitally enabled channels and devices such as desktop, mobile and tablet.

Investment Highlights

Adslot has addressed a clearly defined market need …

  • The Forward Guaranteed online display market has lacked a purpose built trading technology operating at scale, making it highly inefficient

  • Complex media trades are planned, negotiated and executed manually using excel spread-sheets and purchase orders

  • Analysts[1] estimate the inefficiencies that result represent a cost to the industry of approximately 28% of online display ad spend (US$51bn) in the form of manual labour and non-value generating administrative processes

  • Adslot technology transforms this complex ecosystem of buyers and sellers into a marketplace where:

  • they can interact and trade directly and in real time

  • automatically share trading data with their other software systems such as finance/accounting tools and ad delivery/tracking tools

  • agree ad-hoc changes to optimise a campaign live and in real time

1 Source: Digiday Publisher Survey 2013

Investment Highlights

Adslot has built a market leading product that has been validated by customers around the world

  • Agencies from 10 countries representing $3bn of Forward Guaranteed online display ad spend pay Adslot a Licence Fee for Symphony to “automate their media trading workflow

  • Symphony is used by media agencies in 10 countries and by 7 of the top 10 media agencies in Australia

  • Approximately 1,000 publishers including some of the world’s largest media organisations have signed with Adslot

  • The integration of the Symphony and Adslot platforms enables media agencies to automate their trading with our publishers.

  • • This is expected to grow rapidly and generate significant additional revenue growth in the form of Trading Fees

Investment Highlights

On 19th August 2016 Adslot announced it had signed a global, multi-year deal with groupm, the world’s largest media buyer

  • Immediate focus on multiple market deployments across Europe and APAC

  • Material and immediate additional recurring revenue in the form of Licence Fees, growing as new markets are deployed

  • Fully funded market entry for each new country of deployment

  • Establishes Adslot as a truly global solution via:

    • a significant customer footprint in the EMEA region, and

    • an expanded customer footprint in the APAC region.

  • In combination with organic growth from existing customers and other new business, the value of media executed via Symphony is expected to increase from circa $3 billion per annum to circa $7 billion per annum over the next 2 - 3 years

  • As a result, Adslot’s Automated Guaranteed Trading Fee opportunity via the Symphony-Adslot integration will effectively double

  • Market-ready product can be sold into the broader industry in each new market activated

Investment Highlights

Adslot has a highly experienced Board and Executive Management team

Highly experienced Board and management team with skills and industry expertise encompassing digital media, information technology and brand management disciplines.

Strategy and Execution

Adslot anticipates that as the value of media spend executed via Symphony grows:

  • Adslot’s share of the global digital display ad market will grow, and with it the Company’s strategic market position

  • The volume of media buyers that rely on Adslot technology as their ‘Operating System’ will grow

  • Recurring Trading Technology revenues in the form of Licence Fees will continue to grow

  • As familiarity builds our ability to generate accelerating revenue growth in the form of Trading Fees greatly improves

  • Adslot is already working with many of the world’s largest media buying companies…

==> picture [102 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

Outlook

Growth in Trading Technology revenues is expected to continue and accelerate

  • As a result of the groupm contract Adslot anticipates an immediate and ongoing increase in Trading Technology revenues in the form of Licence Fees.

  • The Company expects additional growth in Licence Fees will be supported by the organic growth of existing customers in combination with new business wins.

  • Trading Fees are also expected to deliver growth, derived from:

  • Accelerating adoption of the Symphony-Adslot integration from Symphony clients, including groupm

  • Wider adoption of Adslot as a stand-alone trading platform (ie. from non Symphony customers)

  • Trading Fees in the September quarter already exceed the June quarter

  • The scale and scope of the Trading Fees sales pipeline is building

Outlook

The value of media spend executed via Symphony expected to increase to circa $7bn

  • Licence Fees are a more mature and predictable revenue stream

  • Trading Fees are a nascent revenue stream and less predictable

The future revenue opportunity for Trading Fees is a multiple of Licence Fees

The hybrid of Licence Fees + Trading Fees provides predictable, contracted growth in combination with large market opportunity

Key Risks

Key Risks

This section discloses some of the key risks attaching to an investment in Adslot. Before investing or increasing your investment in Adslot, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you having regard to publicly available information and your personal circumstances and following consultation with your professional advisors. The risks in this section are not, and should not be considered to be or relied on as, an exhaustive list of risks relevant to an investment in Adslot. The risks are general in nature and regard has not been had to the investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs of any investor.

Failure to retain existing customers and attract new customers

Adslot/’s business depends on its ability to retain existing customers and growth depends on its ability to attract further business from existing customers and to attract new customers.

There is a risk that customers reduce the use of Symphony workflow software or Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform, for example, in terms of the number of users, number of modules, value of advertising spend transacted and volume of transactions, which results in a reduction in the level of licence fees and trading revenue payments. There is a risk that they cease to use Symphony workflow software or Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform at the end of any contracted periods. Therefore, there is a risk that if customers terminate their contracts, or reduce their usage of Adslot’s software or trading platform, Adslot’s revenue, including revenue characterised as recurring revenue, could decrease. There is also a risk that existing customers fail to expand their use of Adslot’s software or trading platform or that new customers fail to select Adslot’s software or trading platform for their businesses.

If customers do not continue to use Adslot’s software or trading platform and/or decrease their use over time, and if new customers do not choose to use Adslot’s software or trading platform, growth in revenue may slow, or revenue may decline.

Key Risks

Decline in advertising volumes and economic conditions

A decline in regional and global advertising volumes or recessionary economic conditions, including in the advertising services market, may adversely affect financial performance. Customers are media buying groups, advertising agencies and online publishers whose business operations depend on regional and global advertising activities which can be closely linked to regional and global economic activity.

Adslot operate in a competitive industry

Adslot competes against both other digital advertising software and/or trading platform providers and should they develop in-house software and trading platforms of their own, customers’ in-house IT departments. Some existing and potential competitors have more resources than Adslot.

Competitors could increase their competitive position, or Adslot may fail to anticipate and respond to technology changes as quickly as its competitors, competitors may expand their product offering, and new competitors could develop products which compete with Adslot products.

Reliance on flagship product Symphony and failure to adequately maintain and develop it

Adslot’s business model depends on an ability to continue to ensure that customers are satisfied with Symphony workflow software and Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform. There is a risk that Adslot fail to maintain the Symphony workflow software and Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform adequately, or that updates may introduce errors and performance issues, causing customer satisfaction in the Symphony workflow software and Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform to fall. Any of these factors may result in reduced sales and usage, loss of customers, damage to Adslot’s reputation, an inability to attract new customers and potentially claims for compensation.

Future revenue and growth also depends on an ability to develop enhancements and new features and modules for the Symphony workflow software and Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform so that they continue to meet customer needs, attract new customers and generate additional revenue from increased usage. There is a risk that the development and introduction of new features and modules does not result in a successful outcome for various reasons.

Key Risks

Failure to realise benefts from product development costs

Developing software and trading platform technology is expensive and the investment in the development of these product offerings often requires an extended period to achieve a return on investment. An important element of Adslot’s corporate strategy is to continue to make investments in innovation and related product opportunities. The Company believes it must continue to dedicate resources to innovation efforts to develop the software and trading platform product offering and maintain a competitive position. However, Adslot may not receive significant revenues from these investments for a material period, or may not realise such benefits at all.

Reliance on third party IT suppliers

Adslot rely on certain contracts with third party suppliers to maintain and support its IT infrastructure. In particular, Adslot rely on contracts with tier one solution providers for the provision of cloud hosted database, development platform, software or trading platform infrastructure. If contracts with key suppliers are terminated or suffer a disruption for any reason, this could materially adversely impact operations and financial performance.

Disruption or failure of technology systems

Both Adslot and its customers are dependent on the performance, reliability and availability of technology platforms, data centres and global communications systems (including servers, the internet, hosting services and the cloud environment in which products are provided). There is a risk that these systems may be adversely affected by disruption, failure, service outages or data corruption that could occur as a result of computer viruses, “bugs” or “worms”, malware, internal or external misuse by websites, cyber attacks or other disruptions including natural disasters, power outages or other similar events.

Security breach and data privacy

Adslot products involve the storage and transmission of customers’ confidential and proprietary information, including intellectual property, confidential business information, information regarding their customers, and other confidential information.

Adslot’s business could be materially impacted by security breaches of customer’s data and information, either by unauthorised access, theft, destruction, loss of information or misappropriation or release of confidential customer data.

Key Risks

Ability to attract and retain key personnel

Adslot’s success is dependent upon the retention of key personnel, in particular members of the senior management and product teams. In addition, Adslot needs to attract and retain highly skilled software development engineers.

Competition for such personnel is intense. There is a risk that Adslot may not be able to attract and retain key personnel or be able to find effective replacements for them in a timely manner. The loss of such personnel, or any delay in their replacement, could materially adversely impact Adslot’s ability to operate the business, achieve growth strategies and secure prospects, including through the development and commercialisation of new products or modules.

Integration of acquired businesses and execution of new acquisitions

Adslot may seek to undertake strategic acquisitions in the future. It is the intention to integrate strategic acquisitions, possibly including transitioning customers of the acquired businesses to the Symphony workflow software and Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform. Adslot may also use aspects of their business or products to enhance the existing business.

There is a risk that customers of acquired businesses do not transition across to the Symphony workflow software or Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform, including because they are unwilling to pay the prevailing rates for use of Symphony workflow software or Symphony-Adslot integrated trading platform or do not believe there is an operational need to make the change. There is also a risk that the transitioning of customers requires significantly more financial and management resources, or time to complete, than originally planned.

Country/region specifc risks in new and/or unfamiliar markets

As Adslot expand its presence in new international jurisdictions it is subject to the risks associated with doing business in regions that may have political, legal and economic instability or less sophisticated legal and regulatory systems and frameworks, including (i) unexpected changes in, or inconsistent application of, applicable foreign laws and regulatory requirements, (ii) less sophisticated technology standards; (iii) difficulties engaging local resources; and (iv) potential for political upheaval or civil unrest. As Adslot enters newer and less familiar regions there is a risk that it fails to understand the laws, regulations and business customs of these regions.

Key Risks

Failure to protect intellectual property rights

The value of the Adslot brand and products is dependent on an ability to protect intellectual property, including business processes and know-how, copyrights and trademarks. There is a risk that Adslot may be unable to detect the unauthorised use of its intellectual property rights in all instances. Further, actions taken to protect intellectual property may not be adequate or enforceable and thus may not prevent the misappropriation of intellectual property and proprietary information. Breach of intellectual property may result in the need to commence legal action, such as infringement or administrative proceedings, which could be costly time consuming and potentially difficult to enforce in certain jurisdictions and may ultimately prove unfavourable. Failure to protect intellectual property rights could have an adverse impact on operations and financial performance.

General risks

Adslot is exposed to a number of other general business risks including risks relating to breach of third party intellectual property rights, failure to keep abreast of changes in political and regulatory environments, foreign exchange, potential litigation and certain investment risks.

The following risks have been identified as being key risks. These risks have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on Adslot which may in turn affect the financial position, prospects and price of its listed securities. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, others can be covered by insurance, but some are outside the control of Adslot and cannot be mitigated or insured against.

Economic conditions

The economic condition of both domestic and global markets may affect the performance of Adslot. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies (including exchange rates), commodity prices, inflation rate, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and therefore future possible revenues and the share market price.

Key Risks

Future capital requirements

The continued operations of Adslot may be dependent on its ability to obtain financing through debt, equity financing or capital raising. There is a risk that Adslot may not be able to access capital for future projects or developments due to factors beyond its control which could have a material adverse impact on Adslot’s business and financial condition.

Foreign exchange risks

A proportion of Adslot's revenues, costs, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than Australian dollars. Exchange rate movements affecting these currencies may impact the income statement or assets and liabilities of Adslot, to the extent the foreign exchange rate risk is not hedged or not appropriately hedged.

Taxation

Future changes in Australian taxation law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in Adslot shares, or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted, in the various jurisdictions in which Adslot operates, may impact the future tax liabilities of Adslot.

Asset impairment

As a consequence of the global financial crisis, ASIC has specifically identified impairment of assets as an issue for Australian companies. Consistent with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, Adslot is periodically required to assess the carrying value of its non-current assets, including its brands and goodwill. Where the recoverable amount of an asset is assessed to be less than its carrying value, Adslot is obliged to recognise an impairment charge in its income statement. Impairment charges can be significant and can reduce the level of a company’s profits and, potentially, its capacity to pay dividends. Impairment charges are a non-cash item.

Key Risks

Business factors

The continuing economic viability of Adslot will be dependent on managing risk factors normally found in conducting a business, including management of contractual risks, litigation due to breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise), loss of services of key management or operational personnel or change in tax and accounting laws.

There can be no assurance that parties with whom Adslot has entered into commercial arrangements will adhere to the terms of the contracts and arrangements. There is the potential of material failure by or insolvency of any customer or supplier used by Adslot in any of its activities. Such being the case, this could cause disruption to the operations of Adslot. Adslot is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or other managerial failure by any of its customers or suppliers or other service providers used by Adslot.

All of the mentioned business factors could have a material adverse effect on the results of the operations or the financial condition of Adslot.

Change in accounting policy

Adslot is subject to the usual business risk that there may be changes in accounting policies which impact Adslot.

Share market conditions

Securities listed on a stock market can experience price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the performance of the company. General factors that may affect the market price of Adslot shares include economic conditions, both locally and internationally, the global security situation, the possibility of terrorist disturbances and changes in government legislation or policy.
