To the Board of Directors of Beaconsmind Ltd
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Beaconsmind Ltd (the Company), which comprise the statement of consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss from July 1st 2022 till December 31, 2022 and the Consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022 and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and comply with Swiss law.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law, International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the 'Auditorís responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements' section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, as well as the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We draw your attention to note 27 to these consolidated financial statements, which states that the annual result is below budget expectations. The groupís cash and cash equivalents as of 31 December 2022 were mostly consumed in the months after the balance sheet date due the still negative operating cash flow. Cash and cash equivalents are limited as of the date of authorization of issue. The going concern of the group depends on the refinancing of the group and the ability of the group to become profitable and whether it is able to generate positive operating cash flows. This, along with other matters as described in note 27, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
The consolidated financial statements of Beaconsmind Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2022 were audited by another firm of auditors, whose report, dated 4 April 2023, expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS and the provisions of Swiss law, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material mis-statement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

During the current period, beaconsmind AG has advanced to acquire 51% shares of Frederix Hotspot Gmbh for an amount of CHF 2í008í240. This amount was financed by increase in the Capital reserve.
beaconsmind AG and its subsidiaries (ìthe Groupî or ìbeaconsmindî) is a location-based marketing software provider with headquarters in St‰fa, Switzerland. Its registered office and principal place of business is Seestrasse 3, 8712 St‰fa, Switzerland.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss Franc (CHF) and have been prepared based on the accounting principles described below. These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors of the Group on 5 September 2023.
The figures shown are rounded in every table. As the calculations are made with a higher level of numerical accuracy, it is possible that small rounding differences may occur.
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (ìIFRSî) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (ìIASBî) and apply the historical cost convention unless stated otherwise.
All amounts included in the consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss Francs (ìCHFî) except where otherwise indicated.
These financial statements are prepared for the 6 months period from 1st July 2022-31st December 2022, whereas the comparative figures are for the 12 months period from 1st July 2021-30th June 2022. Therefore, the figures may not be comparable.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of significant accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement when applying the Group's accounting policies. Areas with material assumptions and estimates are disclosed in section "Significant accounting estimates and judgmentsî below.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of beaconsmind AG (ìthe Companyî) and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 December 2022. Control is achieved when the Company:
beaconsmind AG reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When beaconsmind AG has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. beaconsmind AG considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not its voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with the Groupís accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between the members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.
An overview of the subsidiaries is included in Note 25.
Transactions between the Group and the related parties are disclosed in Note 22. Transactions with related parties are performed at armís length.
Items included in the financial statements of subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Functional currencies of beaconsmind AGís subsidiaries are either Arabian Emirates Dirham (ìAEDî) or Euro (ìEURî). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss Francs (ìCHFî), which is the functional currency of the parent.

Revenue is recognized when beaconsmind AG satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The good or service is transferred when the customer acquires control over the asset, which may happen either over time or at a particular point in time.
At the beginning of the customer contract beaconsmind AG determines whether the goods and/or services that are promised in the agreement comprise a single or several separate performance obligations. beaconsmind AG has determined that most of its standard offerings consist of several distinct performance obligations. A performance obligation is defined as a distinct promise to transfer a good or a service to the customer. A promised good or service is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:
The Groupsís main revenue streams can be described as follows:
beaconsmind AG sells a bundled solution allowing the customer targeted point-of-sale marketing and data collection through Bluetooth-based beacon hardware. The bundle consists of a sale of the beacon hardware, its installation and configuration and the subscription to the beaconsmind Suite, a Softwareas-a-Service (SaaS) solution with a modular setup, allowing the customer different levels of data collection and analysis, the implementation of push-notification based marketing, beacon hardware management functionalities as well as ongoing support from beaconsmind AG.
This bundle is considered to include the distinct performance obligations (i) sale of the beacon hardware (revenue recorded at the time of delivery of the beacons to the customer), (ii) installation and configuration (revenue recorded at the time the service is provided) and (iii) SaaS subscription (revenue recorded over the minimum contract term on a linear basis). SaaS subscriptions typically include renewal options, allowing the customer to renew the subscription on identical terms as the ones originally agreed. Depending on the terms originally agreed, such renewal options may represent material rights provided to the customer, resulting in the deferral of a part of the initial revenue and its recognition over the time of the renewal period.
Distribution licensing: beaconsmind AG has provided a license to address the above-described bundle in four European markets. Revenue from this agreement is recorded on a linear basis over the term of the agreement.
Software licensing: beaconsmind AG offers the development of customised shopping Apps based on the needs of the customer to accompany the use of the beacons for point-of-sale marketing purposes. Apps are designed using the beaconsmind AGís modular App construction kit and can include multiple features as required by the customer. Revenue from such licenses is recorded at the time of delivery of the finished App to the customer.
beaconsmind AG offers further services in the form of content management for the beaconsmind AG suite, custom software programming such as for interfaces between the beaconsmind AG Suite and the customerís other applications and general advisory services related to digitised marketing. Revenue from these services is recorded either at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the services.
When revenue is recorded at a point in time beaconsmind AG assesses at which point in time the criteria for the recognition of revenue are fulfilled. This is typically the case when customer acceptance occurs, at which point in time beaconsmind AG has a present right to receive payment for its goods/ services. When recording revenue over time, beaconsmind AG oftentimes may present deferred revenue balances as the timing of payment from the customer precedes the recognition of revenue.
Determining the transaction price, beaconsmind AG uses list prices for individual components that are included in a bundle of goods/ services sold to the customer. beaconsmind AG takes into account variable consideration, such as discounts offered on certain elements of the beaconsmind AG Suite bundle. These discounts are allocated between the different performance obligations identified in the offering to the customer based on relative stand-alone selling prices as represented by the list prices.
No customer contracts within the Group are assessed to contain a significant financing component.
Upon acquisition, an intangible asset is capitalized at cost or at fair value in case the asset is acquired in the context of a business combination and is separately identifiable from goodwill. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date and are subject to impairment testing when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. beaconsmind AGís intangible assets comprise of software (beaconsmind AG Suite), which was developed by third parties and through internal resources. The useful lives of which are estimated at 3 years. Estimates of useful lives, expected patterns of consumption and residual values are regularly reviewed. Changes in these factors are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method as appropriate on a prospective basis. For purposes of impairment testing, items of intangible assets are grouped with other assets of their respective cash-generating unit unless it can be clearly demonstrated that an intangible asset should be tested for impairment on a stand-alone basis.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to beaconsmind AG, and if the cost can be reliably measured. Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. The depreciable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is its cost less its estimated residual value. This amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life, which beaconsmind AG determines as follows per the respective classes of property, plant and equipment:
| - | IT hardware | 5 years |
|---|---|---|
| - | Leasehold improvements | 3 years |
The residual values and useful lives are reviewed regularly and adjusted when necessary. Gains or losses on the disposal of items of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement of profit or loss as other income or other operating expenses, respectively, and consist of the difference between the selling price and the carrying value at the time of disposal.
beaconsmind AG assesses at the inception of the contract whether a contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For leases other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, beaconsmind AG recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if it cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The lease term is the non-cancellable contractual term of the lease adjusted for any renewal or termination options which are reasonably certain to be exercised. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate and rentals relating to low value assets or shortterm leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future minimum lease payments or when the Company changes its assessment of whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an option within the contract. A corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the lease liability adjusted for any payments made at or before the commencement date, initial direct costs incurred, lease incentives received and an estimate of the cost to dismantle or restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located at the end of the lease term. The right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term or, where a purchase option is reasonably certain to be exercised, over the useful life of the underlying leased asset in line with depreciation rates for owned property, plant and equipment. The right-of-use asset is tested for impairment if an impairment indicator exists.
Lease payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other financial assets. These financial assets are classified as at amortized cost. The Company currently does not hold any financial instruments in the fair value (FVTPL or FVTOCI) category.
Financial assets at amortized cost mainly comprise trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the asset is held as part of a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to collect their contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets in this category are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly related to the purchase and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
beaconsmind AG applies a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses for trade receivables. Under this approach, a provision is made for lifetime expected credit losses for the trade receivable. Expected credit losses on trade receivables are primarily based on expected default rates of beaconsmind AGís customers based on their credit rating. Impairment losses of 110'265 CHF were recorded during the period presented.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash balances held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments and investments which are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Where bank overdrafts are repayable on demand and form an integral part of beaconsmind AGís cash management, they are netted against cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows.
Financial liabilities include borrowings, accrued expenses, deferred income and trade and other payables. Recognition depends on how the liability is classified. These financial liabilities are classified as at amortized cost. The Company currently does not hold any financial instruments in the fair value category. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less, transaction costs that are directly related to the acquisition or issue of the financial liability.
The Groupís Swiss pension scheme qualifies as a defined benefit plan established under Swiss pension legislation. Obligations are determined annually by independent qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method and are derived from actuarial assumptions based on market expectations at the reporting date. The discount rates employed in determining the present value of the planís liabilities are determined by reference to market yields at the reporting date on high-quality corporate bonds consistent with the currency and term of the associated post-employment benefit obligations.
The defined benefit pension asset or liability in the balance sheet comprises the total of the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Their fair value is based on market price information and their valuation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan and reductions in the future contributions to the plan.
The net interest cost recorded in the statement of profit or loss within financial expenses (income) is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets. Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within employee benefit expenses.
The assumptions underlying the actuarial valuations from which the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are determined, are updated annually based on current economic conditions and for any relevant changes to the terms and conditions of the pension plan. These assumptions can be affected by changes in the rates of return on high-quality corporate bonds (as far as the discount rate is concerned) and future labour market conditions (in regard to the estimates of future compensation levels).
Whilst management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the obligations and expenses recognized in future accounting periods. The assets and liabilities of defined benefit pension plans may exhibit significant period-on-period volatility attributable primarily to changes in bond yields and longevity. In addition to future service contributions, cash contributions may be required to remediate past service deficits.
beaconsmind AG does not provide any defined contribution plans for the employees in the other group locations in Dubai and Germany following local regulations.
Inventory include only purchased inventory. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The consolidated statement of profit or loss includes all tax that is to be paid or received for the current year, adjustments relating to tax due for previous years, and changes in deferred tax. These taxes have been calculated at nominal amounts, in accordance with the tax regulations, and in accordance with tax rates that have either been decided or have been notified and can confidently be expected to be confirmed. For items recognized in the statement of profit or loss, associated tax effects are also recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The tax effects of items recognized directly against equity or in other comprehensive income are themselves recognized against equity or in other comprehensive income.
The liability method is used in accounting for deferred tax. This means that deferred tax is recognized on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward or other future tax allowances are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the allowance can be offset against taxable income in future taxation. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legal right to do so and when deferred taxes relate to the same tax authority.
beaconsmind AG measures each uncertain tax positions using either the most likely amount or the expected value, based on the method expected to reflect the outcome in the best way. Assessments are reconsidered when there is new information that affects earlier judgments.
The following new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and did not have any material effect on the financial statements:
The following IFRS standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not yet effective, as of the reporting date 31 December 2022.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to exercise judgement and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies, reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and disclosures. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual future results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The critical accounting policies which involve significant estimates, assumptions or judgements, the actual outcome of which could have a material impact on the Companyís results and financial position relate the following items:
Leases: Judgement as to the (reasonably certain) lease term based on the existence of renewal and termination options.
Post-retirement benefit obligations: Key actuarial and financial assumptions related to the measurement of defined benefit plans.

beaconsmind AG exclusively leases properties in the form of office space and vehicles.
Property leases include rent payment indexation clauses and renewal options. beaconsmind AG assesses these renewal options to conclude whether it is reasonably certain that a renewal option may be exercised. beaconsmind AG's lease liabilities have been determined based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if it cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The discount rate applied to the capitalized lease is in between 1.90% and 4.00%.

beaconsmind AGís interest rate risk arises mainly from its lease liabilities and, to a minor extent, from cash and cash equivalents held in interest-bearing bank balances. The risk related to the latter is not considered material. A sensitivity analysis for beaconsmind AGís lease liabilities is not performed given the interest rate applied in measuring these liabilities (which are not measured at fair value) is not subject to regular reassessment.
Rolling forecasts of beaconsmind AGís liquidity requirements are established on a regular basis to ensure sufficient cash is available to meet operational needs.

Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty may fail to perform its contractual obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented in the balance sheet by the carrying value of each financial asset. beaconsmind AG periodically assesses the financial reliability of its customers and their credit limits.
On that basis, the loss allowance for expected credit losses as of the reporting dates presented in these financial statements was determined to be immaterial, and not recorded as a consequence. During the periods presented no impairment losses were incurred that would otherwise have been recognized in statement of profit or loss in relation to impaired financial assets.
As per general policy, trade and other receivables are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with beaconsmind AG, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 180 days past due.
The fair value of current financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost is assumed to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Per Swiss law, employers must provide pension plans to their employees. The Group partners with Swisslife for Occupational Benefits in providing a pension plan to its Swiss employees that insures a retirement pension and lump sum payment as well as death and disability benefits.

During the 6 months period ended 31 December 2022, beaconsmind advanced an amount of CHF 2í008í240 to acquire 51% of the share capital of Frederix GmbH, a market leading Hotspot provider with a large and international customer base mainly from retail and real estate industry. The Group considers that this acquisition will allow beaconsmind to further develop the product offering and at the same time open direct contacts to the Frederix customer base in order to win the Frederix customers also for the beaconsmind AG location-based marketing solution. Frederix itself acquired 100% of the shares of Ingenieurb¸ro Netopsie helping to further grow its Hotspot business.
The closing of this transaction was executed on February 2nd, 2023, and therefore the financial results of the subsidiary Frederix GmbH for the 6 months period from June to December 2022 were not considered for consolidation of these financial statements.

beaconsmind Mena Data L.L.C, Dubai is fully consolidated as beaconsmind AG has full control over the subsidiary. Also, the counterparty does not participate with any share capital nor does the counterparty participate in any gains or losses that beaconsmind Mena Data L.L.C. generates, therefore, non-controlling interest does not exists.
After the balance sheet date beaconsmind AG had four major developments.
allow beaconsmind to further develop the product offering and at the same time open direct contacts to the Socialwave customer base in order to win the Socialwave customers also for the beaconsmind AG location-based marketing solution.
Besides the above mentioned no material subsequent event occurred between the 31 December 2022 and 5 September 2023, being the date when beaconsmind AG consolidated financial statements were authorized for publication.
The negative (post-COVID) impact of the Corona pandemic (COVID-19 crisis) on the groups business activities was still felt in the financial year 2022. There was a delay in the implementation and roll-out of the groups software and hardware solutions mainly due to budget allocations and project pauses on the part of anchor customers, which is why the roll-out operations materialised less strongly than planned. The impact of the Ukraine conflict and the unstable market situation, primarily in Europe on the group should also be highlighted. Following the start of the conflict in the first quarter of 2022, rollout operations for existing anchor customers in the Ukraine and Russian markets had to be discontinued.
Therefore the annual result is below budget expectations. The groupís cash and cash equivalents as of 31 December 2022 were mostly consumed in the months after the balance sheet date due the still negative operating cash flow. The going concern of the group depends on the refinancing of the group and the ability of the group to become profitable and whether it is able to generate positive operating cash flows.
The Board of Directors expects that the capital required for the continuation of the group has been contributed in the meantime and that the entity will reach sufficient profitability levels until the end of 2023 to fund the needs of the operating business. Especially as significant cost measures have been taken to reduce the cost structure. For this reason, the Board of Directors has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
After the balance sheet date of December 2022, measures were taken to provide the Group with further growth capital. In order to provide the Group with further growth capital, additional financing measures have been realized by the Group in a first follow-on financing in the form of a shareholder loan in the amount of EUR 1m. Additional growth capital of EUR 3'412'062.50 based on two capital increases which new registered shares in the months of March and April 2023. A third capital increase has been successfully executed on 23 August 2023 for a total amount of EUR 1.5m.
Above that, the Board of Directors states that further capital increases are to be carried out if needed. New shares shall be issued through conditional capital or, if necessary, authorized capital or via the capital band of the group based on the revised articles of association of the group companies.
