TopBetta Holdings Limited Directors' report 31 December 2016

==> picture [80 x 21] intentionally omitted <==

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'group') consisting of TopBetta Holdings Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company', 'TopBetta' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2016.

Directors

The following persons were directors of TopBetta Holdings Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Nicholas Chan - Chairman Todd Buckingham Matthew Cain Simon Dulhunty

Principal activities

The group's principal activities during the financial half-year were digital fantasy wagering, wagering and content services.

Review of operations

The loss for the group after income tax of $4,455,081 (31 December 2015: $2,330,073) included a non-recurring goodwill impairment expense of $1,802,453. Accordingly, the loss from recurring operations for the period was $2,652,628.

On 3 November 2016, the Company announced its UK incorporated subsidiary, The Global Tote Limited ('TGT'), had been granted an eGambling licence out of Alderney, UK for its wholesale tote product, The Global Tote. On 30 November 2016, the Company completed the issue and allotment of 15,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to raise $3,000,000 (before costs) at 20 cents per share from sophisticated and institutional investors. The placement was completed at a share price which was at an 11% premium to the last traded share price. This placement strengthened the Company's balance sheet and positioned it to fast track the launch of The Global Tote product.

The emergence of The Global Tote business opportunity provides the Company with a global product that has the potential to increase shareholder returns. In pursuing this opportunity, the Board have made strategic decisions to reduce the execution risk, including effecting an internal restructure of the Company's businesses and business segments in December 2016 and reallocating available resources and capital as required. As a result of these initiatives, the Company's revised forecasts suggest that insufficient cash flows will be generated from the content business operated by 12Follow to justify the goodwill previously attributed to it and, accordingly, the goodwill on this content business has been impaired by $1,802,453.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 11 August 2016, the group was granted a licence by the Northern Territory Racing Commission to conduct business as a sports bookmaker. This will enable the group to progress its tournaments and wagering business under this new jurisdiction. This licence is valid until 10 August 2021.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the financial half-year.

Auditor's independence declaration

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, pursuant to section 306(3)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the directors

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS TOPBETTA HOLDINGS LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of TopBetta Holdings Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . As the auditor of TopBetta Holdings Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
