for the half year ended 31 December 2022

Directors’ Report

Your directors submit their report, together with the financial statements of the consolidated entity (“DataDot”) consisting of DataDot Technology Limited (“DTL”) and the entities it controlled at the end of or during the half year ended 31 December 2022.

Directors

The directors of the Company at any time during or since the end of the half-year are as follows:

Mr Ray Carroll (Chairman)

Mr David Lloyd (Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee)

Mr Bradley Kellas (Managing Director)

Principal activities

The principal activities of DataDot during the half year were to develop, manufacture and distribute customisable asset identification solutions that include:

• (i) DataDotID - polymer and metallic microdots containing etched data that is unique to the assets to which the microdots are attached;

• (ii) DataTraceID – a chemical fingerprint added to products to authenticate their identity and provenance; and

• (iii) Vault Asset Registers - databases that record asset identification data and are accessible by law enforcement agencies and insurance investigators.

There has not been any significant change in the nature of these activities during the half year.

Headline Profit

The Group is reporting a first half-year before tax loss of $190.1k.

Review of operations

The Group has posted a first half- year loss before tax of $190.1k from its trading operations. This is a decrease (137%) on the $508.7k trading profit before tax achieved in the prior comparable period (“pcp”). Total revenue for the half year is down by $560.1k (30.7% from the pcp) to $1,265.3k.

The major contribution to this fall in revenue has been the impact on Royalty revenues stemming from the impact from the war in the Ukraine and its flow-on effects on the wider European economy.

• Royalty revenues were $167.8k, a decrease of $564.7k (77.1%) from the pcp.

• Product sale revenues were $1,005.9k, an increase of $15.4k (1.6%) from the pcp.

• Cost of sales were $488.1k, a decrease of $21.4k (4.2%) from the pcp.

• Overheads were $977.2k, an increase of $160.2k (19.6%) from the pcp.

The decrease in Royalty revenues accounted for the entirety of the decrease in total revenue over this period. Dot sales were also affected by the slow-down in the European economy, with Dot product sales from Europe decreasing by 21.8%. Notwithstanding this impact from Europe, the Group was able to achieve a small increase in total product sales of 1.6%. These gains were achieved across all product lines: Dot product sales outside of Europe increased by 15.4%, Trace product sales increased by 67.9% and Vault product sales increased by 71.1% from the pcp.

Half Year Report - December 2022

DataDot Technology Ltd

Directors’ Report

for the half year ended 31 December 2022

The Group was also able to achieve a lower cost of sales despite higher sales volume which was a result of our continued focus on cost containment.

Overhead expenses for the current period were $977.2k, compared to $817.0k in the pcp, with the increase being substantially attributable to increased staff costs as the Group looks to make investments in sales, product development and marketing in order to expand and grow product sales and revenue growth.

Capital Management

As 31 December 2022, the company’s cash position and the balance sheet remain strong. Net assets at 31 December 2022 were $9,678.1k compared to $9,679.2k at 30 June 2022. Cash and Cash Equivalents at 31 December 2022 were $2,954.3K compared to $3,179.5k at 30 June 2022.

On 1 December 2022 a notice was sent to the Australian Stock Exchange and to all affected shareholders advising them that the Company had initiated an Unmarketable Parcel of shares buy-back commencing 30 November 2022. The buy-back ended on 20 January 2023 and the directors are pleased with the results:

• The number of shares purchased by the company as a part of the buy-back totalled 32,916,683 or around 2.65% of the total share capital of the company; and

• The number of shareholders of the company were reduced by 1,273 or around 56% of total shareholders.

Outlook

At the 2022 AGM Directors advised that due to the on-going impacts of the Ukraine conflict on the Company’s automotive related royalties and the overall economic outlook in Europe, the half year result would be negative. Given the significant reduction in these royalty receipts over the period the consolidated result, while still negative, is better than might have otherwise been expected. This was due to welcome increases across the board in our non-European sales in conjunction with our lower overall cost of sales.

Looking forward, we do not expect to see any increase in royalties from DataDot South Africa (DDSA) distributors’ existing key European clients for the remainder of FY 23. However, despite these obvious headwinds in the sector, expansion of our direct automotive customer sales in the United Kingdom remains a distinct possibility as previously flagged discussions with a potential OEM customer are on-going and remain positive. We expect our other direct automotive sales channels, principally Subaru in Australia and DataDot Dealer Services in the US to remain relatively constant throughout the remainder of FY 2023.

Pleasingly, Trace product sales to existing customers increased by a significant margin in the first half compared to the pcp. In the meantime, work with distributors on behalf of some potential new Trace customers has continued in order to prove out the customers’ in-house processes, engineering requirements and testing regimes. While remaining promising, these new applications still require sign-off by the potential clients before any commencement dates can be confirmed, however there is reason to be optimistic that some of these supply contracts will come to fruition before the end of FY 23.

As detailed at the AGM update, while recognizing the importance of the automotive sector to the Company’s current revenue, the Board still firmly believes that the Company’s long term prosperity lies in completing the transition of its historical business model from one of simply being a manufacturer of passive identification products to that of a full service provider that encompasses physical and digital asset identification, provenance, theft deterrence and stolen property recovery with their associated service related revenue streams.

The complete re-development of our microdot products into a standardized product range that can be offered at manufacturing, dealership and retail levels for a broad cross section of consumer products has given us the ability to create this far more comprehensive offering. It bundles microdot identification with PropertyVAULT registration and recovery services together with insurance incentives. The first half results have highlighted the importance of

for the half year ended 31 December 2022

Directors’ Report

accelerating this diversification and our focus for the remainder of FY 23 is to leverage these bundled offerings into partnerships with insurers and targeted consumer goods dealerships to grow our market penetration and revenue.

Despite the on-going external economy wide challenges over the half year, the Company has been able to preserve its strong cash reserves and remains debt free. The Board’s prior and on-going focus on maintaining production efficiencies and cost control has assisted this result. Subject to the normal caveats associated with developing and securing new and prospective revenue opportunities the Company is well placed to be able to continue to pursue its planned trajectory towards revenue diversification and growth in the outlook period.

Auditor’s independence declaration

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the half year ended 31 December 2022

8 Segment Information

Segment descriptions

DataDot has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

Management has reviewed the segments and determined the group is organised into business units based on their product and services and accordingly has two reportable segments. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis.

Products and services by segment

Two reportable segments have been identified as follows:

DataDotID - polymer and metallic microdots containing etched data that is unique to the assets to which the microdots are attached plus other anti theft products.

DataTraceID – a high speed, high security, machine readable system for authenticating materials, products and assets.

Accounting policies and intersegment transactions

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of DataDot Technology Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of DataDot Technology Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year then ended, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

• (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

• (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Directors’ responsibility for the Half-Year 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 Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a 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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
