IXUP Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020

==> picture [78 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of IXUP Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company', 'parent entity' or 'IXUP') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2020.

Directors

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

Dean Joscelyne Executive Director Grant Paterson Chairman and Non-Executive Director (Resigned 8 November 2020) Freya Smith Non-Executive Director Scott Wilkie Non-Executive Director (Resigned 31 July 2020) Peter Leihn Managing Director (Resigned 31 July 2020) Marcus Gracey Executive Director (Appointed 22 October 2020 and appointed CEO/Managing Director 11 November 2020) Julian Babarczy Non-Executive Chairman (Appointed 10 November 2020)

Result of operations

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $1,664,845 (31 December 2019: $1,958,533).

Review of operations

During the half year period IXUP extended the features offered across the IXUP privacy preserving analytics platform through the release of three further platform updates which has strengthened the commercial offering of its technology. This truly unique capability is designed to remove the risk of data loss and misuse, in an environment that is seeing unprecedented remote business activity and increased instances of cyber attacks. The Company believes that future demand for the IXUP platform will increase due to the exponential increase in data acquisition occurring globally, and a desire to monetise new data assets without risk.

Highlights of the half-year include:

  • Further strengthened the working capital base of the Company via the completion of a $2.2 million fully underwritten entitlement offer (before costs) and a $1.5 million fully underwritten placement (before costs) in quarter 1 followed by a successful $5.75 million capital raising (before costs), fully underwritten by Cygnet Capital in quarter 2;

  • Appointment of new Managing Director/CEO Marcus Gracey and new Non-Executive Chairman Julian Babarczy;

  • Strategic Collaboration with Tekkorp Capital to assess opportunities within the international digital gaming and wagering sector;

  • New initiatives with potential customers/partners utilizing IXUP’s core data analytics technology being pursued, with a focus on opportunities within the international gaming and wagering sector as well as the international sports marketing and sports sponsorship sectors;

  • Continued building of the opportunity pipeline for IXUP technology;

  • Release of platform update version 4.1 – extending capabilities and features and reducing operating costs;

  • $47,156 in Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) scheme received;

  • The Company lodged its 2019-20 R&D claim during the half-year. In January 2021 (subsequent to balance date), the company received a rebate from the Australian Tax Office under the R&D tax incentive program of $0.56 million related to the costs of research and development during the 2020 financial year.

COVID-19

IXUP is continuing to monitor and respond to the effects of the COVID-19 virus which represents a material uncertainty in the wider business environment. IXUP has taken a number of steps to reduce the cash outflows and extend its cash operating runway.

Specific actions included:

  • Staff hours and fixed remuneration were reduced with a focus on maintaining core sales and technical support functions. Staff are all now back to full time hours;

  • Successful application for the Federal Governments JobKeeper Wage Subsidy (Round 1) for all eligible staff;

  • Reduction in costs relating to essential services and infrastructure cost.

2

IXUP Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020

==> picture [78 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

These actions reflect the continued focus of the Board and Management on preserving cash and long-term shareholder value while maintaining focus on service of existing and prospective customers and conversion of IXUP’s sales pipeline.

Capital raise

On 30 July 2020, the Company completed a 1-for-1 non-renounceable, pro rata rights issue to raise $2,228,401 (before costs) via the issue of 222,840,158 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share.

Given the strong interest in the Entitlement Offer and the ongoing economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company agreed with Cygnet, that the total number of Shares to be allocated by Cygnet pursuant to the Top-Up Right should be increased to 150,000,000 Shares at $0.01 per Share to raise up to $1.5 million (before costs), subject to shareholder approval (Placement).

In November 2020, in order to accelerate the commercialization of IXUP's proprietary platform and position the company in the pursuit of an extension of its encrypted data analytics business, the company secured a capital raising of $5.75 million (before costs) commitment with Cygnet Capital Pty Ltd.

Board appointments

On 22 October 2020 IXUP announced the appointment of Marcus Gracey as an Executive Director. Following the appointment of Mr. Marcus Gracey as an Executive Director, the Board agreed to appoint Marcus Gracey as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Company effective 11 November 2020. Mr Gracey is an experienced Executive with a diverse background spanning technology, innovation, law and business. Mr Gracey's extensive international experience in developing and commercializing emerging products and technologies will strengthen the existing skill set of the Board and boost Management capacity to identify, asses and prosecute opportunities for commercialization of IXUP's unique proprietary platform.

On 10 November 2020, Mr. Julian Babarczy was appointed as Non-Executive Chairman following the resignation of Grant Paterson. Mr. Babarczy brings over 20 years finance and investment industry experience to the IXUP Board, having spent almost two-thirds of his career as a key member of the portfolio and leadership team of one of Australia’s most successful hedge funds, Regal Funds Management (Regal). Regal has been a long-term shareholder in IXUP.

Strategic Collaboration Agreement Tekkorp Capital LLC

Consistent with the Company’s expanded industry focus for its technology within the global digital gaming and wagering sector, IXUP announced on 11 November 2020 that it had executed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (Agreement) with Tekkorp Capital LLC (Tekkorp Capital), a US-based digital gaming company founded by Mr. Matthew Davey. Tekkorp Capital provides specialist advisory services in relation to the international digital sports gaming and wagering sector and pursuant to the Agreement, Tekkorp Capital was engaged to provide sector specific services to IXUP, that included the following:

  • Identification and assessment of applications and opportunities for the Company’s core technology;

  • Formulation of strategy and facilitation of strategic meetings with industry stakeholders and participants in order to assess and progress identified opportunities; and

  • Identification, assessment and recommendation of complementary technologies, partnerships, commercial opportunities and products (including consumer facing products) that align with IXUP’s technology, operations and growth strategy.

Since executing the Agreement, and consistent with its objectives, IXUP and Tekkorp Capital have taken significant steps to progress the assessment of various opportunities for IXUP’s technology within the international digital sports gaming and wagering sector. In this regard, IXUP and Tekkorp Capital are presently progressing a number of industry level consultations and discussions in relation to potential opportunities for IXUP’s technology in addition to associated opportunities presented as a result of the Tekkorp Capital relationship.

IXUP Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020

==> picture [78 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

New Initiatives in the International Digital Sports Gaming and Wagering Sector & Sports Marketing and Sponsorship Sectors

During the half-year, IXUP has been actively pursuing potential new global customer/partner initiatives that would utilise IXUP’s core data analytics technology, with a focus on opportunities within the international digital sports gaming and wagering, sports marketing and sports sponsorship sectors. These sectors are considered a prime focus of the Company due to the large number of potential identified use cases of IXUP’s core data analytics technology. These sectors also reflect high growth rates underpinned by the deregulation of the US sports betting sector and the increase in gaming and wagering activity during global lockdowns and work from home scenarios, which is expected to continue into the future.

Market Opportunity Pipeline

The Company is continuing to work with its channel partners to extend the sales pipeline opportunities in new sectors, including health and the government sector.

IXUP technology enhancements

IXUP has successfully completed a significant upgrade of its technology platform through the development of its custom column-based data storage and retrieval mechanism that has significantly improved its performance and scalability while reducing the operating costs by 90%. Incremental improvements to the overall useability of the platform based on client feedback were also included in this upgrade

Financial position

The company continues to invest in its technology platform and at 31 December 2020 had cash and term deposits (with less than 3 months maturity) balance of $9.2 million. In addition the Company held one term deposit (with greater than 3 months maturity) of $0.1 million, The Board and management remain focussed on disciplined cash management and tightening of operational expenses to position IXUP to capitalise on opportunities and deliver growth.

Independent auditor’s review report

To the shareholders of IXUP Limited

Report on the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of IXUP Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half year (the consolidated group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant 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 IXUP Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibility of Management 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

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.
