L E T T E R F R O M T H E C H I E F E X E C U T I V E O F F I C E R

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

As with the commercial implementation of any new technology, the past year has been an eventful year for a Company at the forefront of the disruption. My tenure as CEO commenced in November 2016 with a clear focus on completing and launching our AirPocket product, reducing costs and securing a strategic investor. I have been committed to bringing financial health to DigitalX and in building the Company’s credibility in our industry and financial markets. While the past year has brought with it significant challenges, I am proud to say we have confronted these head on and largely succeeded in surmounting them. In addition to a replacement of all the founding directors and a slashing of operational costs, DigitalX has been able to launch AirPocket, the world’s first Blockchain-enhanced money transfer application and secure cornerstone support from one of the largest players in our industry.

DigitalX is now in a very strong position, with significant funding and a wealth of opportunities ahead. While the Company’s key focus in the previous financial year was on the development and launch of AirPocket, the Company is pleased to have now diversified its offering into providing Blockchain consulting services and Initial Coin Offering advisory services to leverage the experience and expertise of the experienced team at DigitalX.

Operational Overview

The major operational highlights over the year centred on the management restructure, the launch of AirPocket and the cornerstone investment from Blockchain Global Ltd.

On 8 March 2017, the AirPocket money transfer App went live on the US Google Play Store followed swiftly by availability on the iOS App Store. The launch of AirPocket, as the first Blockchain-enhanced money transfer Application in the world marked a significant milestone for DigitalX and the in house Blockchain development team. AirPocket is currently available to service US customers with the ability to send Airtime and money transfers to 13 countries.

AirPocket’s remittance service is built around its highly secure and scalable cloud-based API which can integrate with any payment processor or banking network. While significant transaction activity has alluded the Company to date, the innovative use of Blockchain technology as a record of “Know Your Client” and transaction activity and the interoperability of AirPocket gives management confidence in the future commerciality of the product. DigitalX received external validation in the potential of the product when in June 2017, AirPocket received an award at the Remittance Technology Awards held at the United Nations in New York in the category of Social Inclusion.

While the Board faced some major challenges during the financial year around legacy issues from the restructure, the strict enforcement of the cost reduction measures saved the Company around $2m annually. Pleasingly, the action taken by the Board and the industry knowledge and expertise of key management enabled the Company to become an attractive opportunity for a strategic or cornerstone investor. On 7 June 2017, the Company announced that it entered into a conditional subscription agreement and converting loan agreement with Blockchain Global Limited, an Australian incorporated company operating in the Bitcoin and Blockchain space, to invest approximately $4.35m at 2.7 cents per share to acquire an interest of up to approximately 40% of DigitalX on a fully diluted basis. The price of the investment was made at a 28.5% premium to the VWAP of DigitalX’s shares over the last 5 days in which shares were traded prior to the date of this announcement. The transaction closed after the end of the financial year.

Outlook

While the last financial year was challenging, the outlook for DigitalX in our marketplace is exciting. The Company is now fully funded through the cornerstone investment led by Blockchain Global and positioned as a leader in the industry. The focus for the Company this financial year is on leveraging the experience and expertise of the team and generating revenue. DigitalX is seeking to monetise our money transfer App, AirPocket, secure Blockchain development work with corporate Australia and advise companies within the cryptocurrency and Initial Coin Offering marketplace. With the market for our core offering truly flourishing, I am confident in delivering an exceptional year for our Shareholders.

Sincerely,

x USD$
Revenue from discontinued operations and other income 8,041,026
Loss from ordinary activities after tax attributable to members (3,973,961)
Net loss for the period attributable to members (3,973,961)

The consolidated loss for the group after providing for income tax amounted to US$3,973,961 (2016: US$3,417,305)

The statutory accounting result for the period is a net loss after tax of US$3.94m. The result was reached as the Company was transitioning from the Bitcoin trading and mining segments into a broader Blockchain based products market.

The trading desk generated revenues of $8m over the year and a net loss of $0.4m. With the focus of the Company towards the development of Blockchain based products, DigitalX wound down its trading operations towards the end of the first half of the financial year, securing a buyer for its platform, which was operated under a profit sharing agreement . Note that due to Bitcoin trading segment being considered as part of Discontinued Operations, it does not contribute to the Revenue line on the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income but rather appears in Note 11 .

During the financial year, the AirPocket money transfer App went live on the US Google Play Store and the iOS App Store and marked a significant milestone for DigitalX and the in-house Blockchain development team. AirPocket is currently available to service US customers with the ability to send Airtime and money transfers to 13 countries.

The price of the investment was made at a 28.5% premium to the VWAP of DigitalX’s shares over the last 5 days in which shares were traded prior to the date of this announcement.

No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

Subsequent events

On 25 August 2017, the Company held a general meeting of shareholders, with all the resolutions proposed being passed, including approval for the acquisition of a relevant interest in the Company by Blockchain Global Limited of up to a 40% equity stake in the Company, on a fully diluted basis, to the value of AUD$4,355,118.

D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T

Base pay

Directors and executives are offered a competitive base salary and participation in the bonus pool. Base pay for executives is reviewed annually by the Board to ensure that executive’s pay is competitive with the market, and is also reviewed upon promotion or additional responsibilities.

There is no guarantee of base pay increases fixed in any executive or Director contracts.

Commission

There is no entitlement to commissions based remuneration.

Short term incentives

For the purpose of incentivising and tying the rewarding of the Company’s staff to the performance of the Company, the Board has determined to implement a bonus pool from which the Directors, executives and staff may receive additional remuneration.

The bonus pool is determined to total twenty percent (20%) of the net profit after tax of the Group (bonus pool). Before the commencement of each financial year the Board will meet to determine the performance goals applicable for the impending financial year (FY Performance Goal). The criteria ensure reward is only available when value has been created for shareholders. The performance goal for the bonus pool was set by the board at A$9.1 million EBITDA (Earnings before interest tax, depreciation and amortisation) for the financial year ending 30 June 2017.

If the Group achieves certain levels of the FY Performance Goal a sliding scale applies to the bonus pool availability as follows:

FY performance goal achieved % of Bonus pool available for payment to
Directors and management in accordance with
the then/current bonus scheme of the Group
and relevant employment contracts
50% or greater 100% ofbonus pool
40% to 49.9% 80% ofbonus pool
30% to 39.9% 60% ofbonus pool
20% to 29.9% 40% ofbonus pool
10% to 19.9% 20% ofbonus pool
Less than 10% none

The distribution of the bonus pool is determined by the Board on a discretionary basis based on an executive’s and staff's:

  • ability to perform individual tasks within the relevant department

  • ability to add value and innovate beyond the job standard specification

  • development of new and existing industry relationships

  • ability to interact with other relevant departments as part of a larger team approach

  • relevant industry salary benchmarking

  • general requirements to attract and retain staff.

The Performance Goal set for the financial year ending 30 June 2017 has not been achieved and therefore no bonus payments were made.

(c) Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance

The Board will align the interests of the executive team with those of the shareholders when setting future short and long-term benefits. This will from time to time require management to seek shareholder approval to provide compensation to executive management and the Non-Executive Directors in the form of share options, exercisable to shares, given the achievement of pre-specified objectives.

Indemnification of officers and auditors

During the financial period, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors, secretary and officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such a Director, Secretary or Officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the Group, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.

The Company has executed a Deed of Protection for each of the Directors. The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial period, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.

Non-audit services

Amounts of $18,702 were paid to the auditor for non-audit, tax compliance services provided during the period. No amounts are payable as at the date of this report.

  • a Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • b Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated statement report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated statement report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue
Note 11.3
For the year ended 30 June 2017, the Group
recognised $8,012,000 in revenues from its trading
segment.
The Group recognises its revenue in accordance with
AASB 118_Revenue_.
As the Group operates with a small finance team,
certain limitations in its segregation of duties exist.
This, coupled with the inherent risk of fraud in
revenues, increases the susceptibility of the trading
revenue transactions to misstatements, whether due
to error or fraud.
Our procedures included, amongst others:

Obtaining an understanding of the revenue
recognition policies applied and assessing
their compliance with AASB 118_Revenue;_

Testing a sample of trade transactions by
tracing to supporting documentation,
including source block chain data and bank
receipt of cash from the customer;

Performing analytical procedures to assess
reasonableness of revenue derived given
volumes of trades, market price of bitcoin
and the expected margins at which the
Group operates; and

Assessing the appropriateness of financial
statement disclosures.
Convertible notes and derivative financial
liabilities -Note 19.1 and Note 19.2
As at 30 June 2017, the Group carried $190,252 in
convertible notes and $121,026 in derivative financial
liabilities.
Financial instruments associated with convertible
notes are recognised and re-measured as prescribed
in AASB 9_Financial Instruments_and AASB 139
Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement. These standards introduce inherent
complexities with respect to identifying and treating
transactions around convertible notes, including
transaction costs. The standards require an
assessment as to whether these loans are compound
financial instruments or hybrid financial instruments.
The conclusion drawn by management impacts the
treatment of the loans and any identified components
– whether there should be a component recorded in
equity or a separate derivative financial liability
recorded.
This area is a key audit matter as management is
required to exercise its judgments and estimates in
determining the appropriate accounting treatment of
the convertible loan, including derivative financial
instruments, if any, as well as re-measuring the fair
value of anyderivatives at each reportingdate.
Our procedures included, amongst others:

Reading loan agreements to identify all
terms and conditions, including transaction
costs, that may give rise to embedded
derivative instruments, as well as impact
the classification within the consolidated
statement of financial position;

Evaluating the Group’s classification of the
identified financial instruments for
compliance with AASB 9 and AASB 139;

Confirming the face value of the notes
directly with the note holders as at 30 June
2017;

Assessing the appropriateness of the inputs
and assumptions utilised in determining the
value of financial instruments required to be
reported at fair value, which included the
involvement of our internal Corporate
Finance experts; and

Assessing the appropriateness of related
financial statement disclosures.

==> picture [326 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Intangible assets
Note 17
As at 30 June 2017, the Group carries $49,519 net of
capitalised development costs. Amounts capitalised
in the period were $1,915,609 and an impairment
charge of $1,966,669 was also recorded.
AASB 138_Intangible Assets_outlines specific criteria
which must be met for expenditure on development
costs to be recorded as an asset and carried in the
Statement of Financial Position. This criteria includes
the requirement to demonstrate that probable future
economic benefits will be generated from the asset.
This area is a key audit matter due to the
management judgement applied in the assessment of
whether costs meet the development phase criteria
as described in AASB 138.
Our procedures included, amongst others:

Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for
adherence to AASB 138;

Obtaining the schedule of capitalised
development expenditure and agreeing to
the general ledger;

Testing a sample of costs capitalised by
tracing to underlying support such as
vendor invoices and payroll records in order
to understand the nature of the item and
whether the expenditure was attributable to
the development of the related asset.;

Evaluating management’s assessment of
the generation phase and potential for
future economic benefits for the project to
determine whether activity appropriately
met the capitalisation criteria of AASB 138
by holding discussions with management
and obtaining corroborating evidence.; and

Assessing the appropriateness of related
financial statement disclosures.
Going Concern and Subsequent Events
Note 2.1 and Note 27
The Group made a loss of $3,973,761 for the year
ended 30 June 2017, has accumulated losses of
$12,509,086 and a working capital deficiency of
$566,004 as at 30 June 2017. The Group’s use of the
going concern basis of accounting and the
associated extent of uncertainty is a key audit matter
due to the high level of judgment required in
evaluating the Group’s assessment of going concern.
The Directors have determined that the use of the
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in
preparing the financial report. Their assessment of
going concern was based on cash flow projections.
The preparation of these projections incorporated a
number of assumptions and judgments, as well as
occurrences subsequent to balance date. The
Directors have concluded that the range of possible
outcomes considered in arriving at this judgment
does not give rise to a material uncertainty casting
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as
a going concern.
Our procedures included, amongst others:

Obtaining and reviewing management’s
cash flow forecast to assess whether
current cash levels can sustain operations
for a period of at least 12 months from the
proposed date of signing the financial
statements;

Agreeing year end cash balances to source
bank statements to gain comfort around the
cash balances used in the cash flow
forecast;

For significant events that occurred post
balance date which impacted the cash flow
forecast, viewing source documents to
support the impact;

Assessing the Group’s current level of
income and expenditure against
management’s forecast for consistency of
relationships and trends to the historical
results, and results since year end; and

Assessing the adequacy of the related
disclosures within the financial report.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

==> picture [326 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the Financial Report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are 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 Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 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 the Australian Auditing Standards 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 this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated historical financial statements of DigitalX Limited and its controlled entities (collectively, the Consolidated Entity or Group) for the year ended 30 June 2017 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 29 September 2017.

DigitalX Limited (the Company or the parent) is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Company is a for-profit entity.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report. Information on the Group’s structure is provided in Note 25. Information on other related party relationships is provided in Note 24.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial report, except as described at Note 2.2. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASs) and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. All amounts are presented in United States Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

The consolidated financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for bitcoin holdings inventory that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Going concern

During the year ended 30 June 2017 the consolidated entity has incurred a net loss after tax of $3,973,761 (30 June 2016: $3,417,305) and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2,878,702 (30 June 2016: $1,537,199). As at 30 June 2017 the consolidated entity had cash assets of $232,225 (30 June 2016: $1,042,288), Bitcoin current assets of $10,034 (30 June 2016: $163,380) and had a working capital deficit of $566,004 (30 June 2016: surplus of $1,449,339).

At the date of this report the consolidated entity’s cash flow forecast indicates that it expects to be able to meet its minimum commitments and working capital requirements for the twelve month period from the date of signing the financial report, but this is dependent on the factors as described below.

Given the volatile nature of the industry in which the consolidated entity operates and the “start-up” nature of a number of businesses in the group, the consolidated entity is subject to risks and uncertainties that may adversely impact future trading results and cash flows which in turn results in the consolidated entity requiring additional funding, either through raising additional equity or debt. Post year-end, the consolidated entity has been successful in a capital raise of $4,300,000 as described in Note 29 Postreporting date events .

The Company also has face-value $1,000,000 in interest-bearing liabilities due within 12-months of balance date. However, as described in Note 19.1, these liabilities are accompanied by an option to be settled via an issuance of shares, thus removing the need to use cash resources. Further, as shown in Note 29 Post-reporting dates , a significant portion of these have been settled via share issuance.

Historically, the Company has had significant contractual obligations and cash requirements as reflected in the current and prior year Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income . However, during the past two years, the Company has scaled down its operations and relinquished its significant contracts and commitments.

Given the above mitigating factors, the Group has determined that it will be able to meet all present obligations as and when they fall due and is a Going Concern for the foreseeable future.

Presentation and functional currency

Presentation currency

The consolidated financial report is presented in United States Dollars.

Functional currency

The individual financial statements of each Group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each group entity are expressed in United States dollars (‘US$’), which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. Due to the nature of these activities for all entities in the Group the functional currency has been determined to be US$.

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

2.2 New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The following table lists Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been recently issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company for the reporting period ended 30 June 2017. These particular standards are considered relevant to the entity based on the balances and transactions presented within these financial statements.

Management are in the process of determining the potential impact of the initial application of the Standards and Interpretations. These Standards and Interpretations will be first applied in the financial report of the Group that relates to the annual reporting period beginning on or after the effective date of each pronouncement.

New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

A number of new and revised standards are effective for the current reporting period, however there was no need to change accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards as they were clearly not applicable to the balances and transactions presented within these financial statements

2.3 Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of DigitalX Limited (Company or Parent Entity) as at period end and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. DigitalX Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company 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. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

40

D I G I T A L X L I M I T E D A N D C O N T R O L L E D E N T I T I E S A B N 5 9 0 0 9 5 7 5 0 3 5

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

  • the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

2.4 Current and Non-Current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/noncurrent classification.

An asset as current when it is:

  • expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

  • held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

  • it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

  • it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

2.5 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment, if any, and excluding taxes or duty.

Revenue is recognised when the specific recognition criteria described below have been met:

  • Bitcoin Mining Revenue earned from Bitcoin processing activities, commonly termed ‘mining’ activities, is recognised at the fair value of the Bitcoins received as consideration on the date of actual receipt, fair value being measured using the closing price of the Bitfinex exchange on the date of receipt. Refer to Note 4(a) for further discussion about the Group’s revenue recognition policy for Bitcoin mining activities.

  • Interest revenue Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

  • Liquidity Desk, digitalX Direct and Market Making Transactions Refer to Note 2.6

41

D I G I T A L X L I M I T E D A N D C O N T R O L L E D E N T I T I E S A B N 5 9 0 0 9 5 7 5 0 3 5

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

2.6 Liquidity Desk, digitalX Direct and Market Making Transactions

Revenue from the sale of bitcoins through the Liquidity Desk, digitalX Direct and Market Making is recognised when the Group transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of the bitcoins to its customers. The transfer of the bitcoins is completed through the issue of electronic instructions to the bitcoin network to facilitate the transfer and the transaction is recorded into the Blockchain.

Cost of sales on transactions in Liquidity desk, digitalX Direct and Market Making represents the fair value of bitcoins purchased in the market on the date of sale. Any fair value movements arising between date of purchase of bitcoins and the date of sale are included in the net fair value gains and losses on bitcoin inventory in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

No trading revenue is recognised on the sale of mined bitcoins which are either sold on an exchange (i.e. not an over the counter transaction) or utilised as an exchange medium in place of fiat currency. Accordingly the amounts included on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in relation to mined bitcoins is revenue from bitcoin mining and net fair value gain and loss on bitcoin inventory held for trading.

Accounts payable and accounts receivable which are denominated in bitcoins are initially recognised at the bitcoin price on the Bitfinex exchange at transaction date and as at the reporting date are translated into United States dollars using the quoted bitcoin price on the Bitfinex exchange. Any difference between the initial transaction value and the accounts payable or accounts receivable at reporting date is recognised in net fair value gains and losses on bitcoin inventory in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

2.7 Investments in joint ventures

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The results and assets and liabilities of joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’ as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

2.8 Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.9 Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

2.10 Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income or tax loss based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the

43

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian tax resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is DigitalX Limited. DigitalX Holdings joined the DigitalX Limited tax consolidation group on 26 May 2014.

Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial reports of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach, by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial reports of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the wholly-owned entities are assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to (from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts. The head entity recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the assets can be utilised.

Refer to Note 4(f) (ii) for discussion of key estimation uncertainties in respect of current and deferred income taxes.

2.11 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, cash held with bitcoin exchanges, other shortterm, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Cash and cash equivalents do not include the Group’s holdings of bitcoins which are classified as bitcoin inventory (refer to Note 2.13 below).

2.12 Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow

to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Plant and equipment are depreciated or amortised on a reducing balance or straight line basis at rates based upon their expected useful lives as follows:

  • Bitcoin mining computer equipment – diminishing value at 25% per month, with the remaining carrying value of the equipment being fully depreciated in the month where the carrying value is 10% or less than the asset’s original cost price

  • Computer equipment – 3 years

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets (other than freehold land) less their residual values over their useful lives. The estimated residual value of plant and equipment has been assessed to be zero. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any change in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with their carrying amount.

Refer to Note 4(f)(i) for a discussion of the estimation uncertainty in respect of the determination of the appropriate method of depreciation, the underlying useful life and the estimation of residual values in respect of Bitcoin computer mining hardware.

2.13 Bitcoin inventory

Bitcoin is an open-source software-based online payment system where payments are recorded in a public ledger using its own unit of account called a bitcoin. The Group is a broker-trader of bitcoin as it buys and sells bitcoins principally for the purpose of selling in the near future and generating a profit from fluctuations in price or broker-traders’ margin. The Group measures bitcoin inventory at its fair value less costs to sell, with any change in fair value less costs to sell being recognised in profit or loss in the period of the change. Bitcoins are derecognised when the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. As a result of the Bitcoin protocol, costs to sell Bitcoin inventories are immaterial in the current period and no allowance is made for such costs.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. Bitcoin inventory fair value measurement is a Level 1 fair value as it is based on a quoted (unadjusted) market price (Bitfinex exchange) in active markets for identical assets.

Bitcoin inventory is derecognised when the Group disposes of the inventory through its trading activities or when the Group otherwise loses control and, therefore, access to the economic benefits associated with ownership of the Bitcoin inventory.

Refer to Note 4(b) and (c) for further discussion of the Group’s accounting policy in respect of Bitcoin inventory valuation and the judgement made in determining that such inventories are carried as commodity broker-trader inventory.

2.14 Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments and non-financial assets at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

  • Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

2.15 Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.16 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

2.17 Employee benefits

Short-term and long-term employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

2.18 Goods and services or Value Added Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST or VAT, except:

  • where the GST or VAT incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST or VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST or VAT.

The net amount of GST or VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST or VAT component of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

2.19 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued or cancelled during the period.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

2.20 Share based payments

Employees and consultants of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit or loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions, for which vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. These are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

2.21 Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, DigitalX Limited, disclosed in note 26 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:

(a) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of DigitalX Limited.

(b) Financial guarantees

Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of subsidiaries for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

(c) Tax consolidation legislation

DigitalX Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

The head entity, DigitalX Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, DigitalX Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate DigitalX Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by DigitalX Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to DigitalX Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial period. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s investment activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: bitcoin price risk, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk, and interest rate risk. The Group’s and the Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risks to which it is exposed. The method used is sensitivity analysis for each of foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses.

Operating cash flows have been used by the Group in the period to invest in Bitcoin mining, trading and software development activities and to fund corporate costs of the Company.

(a) Foreign exchange risk

The Group and the parent entity operate internationally, and during the period were exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD/AUD dollar rates.

Foreign exchange risks arise from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

Management regularly monitors exposure to foreign exchange risk, but do not have a current hedging policy in place. It is intended that this policy will be continuously assessed in line with funding requirements for each of the investment opportunities.

As of 30 June 2017, the Group had exposure to foreign currency risk within its recognised assets and liabilities. The Cash and Cash equivalents included $193,788 (2016: $45,978) held in AUD bank accounts, being AUD$253,210 (2016: AUD$62,132). The Group has derivative liabilities of $157,440 in AUD (2016: nil) and interest bearing liabilities of $547,959 in AUD (2016: nil).

(b) Interest rate risk management

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group deposit funds at both short-term fixed and floating rates of interest.

The Group exposure to interest rates on financial assets and liabilities is detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest rate sensitivity

A change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the profit and equity for the current and previous periods of the Group or the Parent entity.

(c) Fair value estimation

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities, as recorded in the financial statements, represent or approximate their respective fair values.

(d) Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who oversee a liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring there are appropriate plans in place to finance these future cash flows.

and the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay financial liabilities. Amounts for financial assets include interest earned on those assets except where it is anticipated cash will occur in a different period.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 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.

Critical judgements in developing and applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see Note 4(f) ), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Revenue from Bitcoin Mining

The Group generates revenue by providing computer processing activities for bitcoin generation and transaction processing services on the public ledger system known as the Bitcoin Blockchain. In the crypto-currency industry such activity is generally referred to as Bitcoin mining. The Group receives consideration for providing such Bitcoin mining activities in the form of Bitcoins. The Group has determined that the substance of its Bitcoin mining activities is service provision under the scope of AASB 118 Revenue notwithstanding that there is no contractual arrangement under which it provides such services as the services are provided instead through open source software being the Bitcoin protocol. Furthermore, the nature of the Bitcoin protocol is such that the Group is unable to determine in advance the consideration that it will receive, if any, for the Bitcoin mining services that it provides and, therefore, the Group is unable to estimate reliably the outcome of its mining activities in advance of actual receipt of consideration in the form of Bitcoins. Because of the uncertainty over both the timing and amount of the consideration that the Group will receive for undertaking mining activities, management has determined that revenue should only be recognised on actual receipt of Bitcoins as consideration for services provided.

Bitcoins received for mining activities are, therefore, recognised as revenue at fair value on the day of receipt in a private bitcoin wallet controlled by the Group. The fair value of Bitcoins received is determined in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy, see Note 4(c) Fair value of Bitcoins below. Bitcoins received are recognised immediately as Bitcoin inventory into the trading book. As revenues from Bitcoin mining activity is measured on an as received basis revenues are neither earned on a constant basis over time, nor necessarily in a direct relationship to computer processing capacity utilised. As a consequence, future generation of Bitcoins and, therefore future revenues, from Bitcoin mining activities may be subject to volatility due to factors outside the Group’s control.

(b) Bitcoin inventory

Management considers that the Group’s bitcoins are a commodity. As International Financial Reporting Standards do not define the term ‘commodity,’ management has considered the guidance in AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (AASB 108) that allows an entity to consider the most recent pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop accounting standards, other accounting literature and accepted industry practice to the extent that these do not conflict with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards and the International Accounting Standards Board Conceptual Framework. Under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) as set out in the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, a commodity has been defined as “products whose units are interchangeable, are traded on an active market where customers are not readily identifiable, and are immediately marketable at quoted prices.” Based on this definition and the guidance in AASB 108, management has therefore determined that Bitcoins are a commodity notwithstanding that Bitcoins lack physical substance.

The Group’s activities include trading Bitcoins, primarily the buying and selling of Bitcoins and to a lesser extent trading in other Bitcoin trading products and, therefore, subsequent to initial recognition, Bitcoin inventory (whether received as consideration for mining activities or acquired through purchase) is held at fair value less costs to sell, reflecting the Group’s purpose of holding such Bitcoin inventory as a commodity broker-trader in accordance with AASB 102 Inventories . As a result of the Bitcoin protocol, costs to sell Bitcoin inventories are immaterial and no allowance is made for such costs. Changes in the amount of Bitcoin inventories based on fair value are included in profit or loss for the period.

51

D I G I T A L X L I M I T E D A N D C O N T R O L L E D E N T I T I E S A B N 5 9 0 0 9 5 7 5 0 3 5

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

Bitcoin inventory is derecognised when the Group disposes of the inventory through its trading activities or when the Group otherwise loses control, and, therefore, access to the economic benefits associated with ownership of the Bitcoin inventory. Inventory shrinkage arising from denial of access to the economic benefits associated with ownership of Bitcoin inventory are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on identification.

(c) Fair value of Bitcoins

Bitcoin inventory is measured at fair value using the quoted price in United States dollars on the Bitfinex exchange (www.Bitfinex.com) at closing Coordinated Universal Time. Management considers this fair value to be a Level 1 input under the AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement fair value hierarchy as the price on the Bitfinex exchange represents a quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets. Management has selected the Bitfinex exchange as it is a major Bitcoin exchange with appropriate size and liquidity to provide reliable evidence of fair value for the size and volume of transactions that are reasonably contemplated by the Group.

(d) Capitalisation of development costs

The Group has been engaged in the development of its mobile application remittance software, “AirPocket”. The development activities are part of an internal project, with costs incurred both by an internal software development team and through the outsourcing of development activities to external contractors. The total cost capitalised on the project at 30 June 2017 is US$2,016,187.

An intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project shall be recognised if, and only if, an entity can demonstrate all of the following:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the entity can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

  • • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The Company has evaluated the criteria required to be satisfied for an intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project to be recognised and conclude in respect to AirPocket that all conditions required to recognise an intangible asset generated from development of an internal project have been demonstrated. In particular the Group has entered memorandum of understanding (MoU) with global partners to form a Joint Venture Company (JVC) to facilitate the distribution and roll out of AirPocket through Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Company has evaluated the future economic benefit by modelling the expected future cash flows to estimate a value of the asset.

The Company has raised a US$1,966,669 impairment provision against the costs capitalised for its AirPocket intangible asset. This provision has been recorded in the current period as a result of a lack of historical data with respect to the estimates used in determining the fair value of AirPocket. The provision is to be reassessed at the next reporting date with anticipation that more information will be available to assess the recoverable amount of the asset.

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S

(e) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

(i) Property, plant and equipment

The Directors have assessed the basis of depreciation of the Bitcoin computer mining hardware at 25% per month on a diminishing value basis.

The Bitcoin computer mining hardware is used to generate Bitcoins (refer to discussion on Revenue from Bitcoin Mining discussed in Note 4(a)). The rate at which the Group generates bitcoins and, therefore, consumes the economic benefits of its Bitcoin computer mining hardware is influenced by a number of factors including the following:

  • the complexity of the Mining process which is driven by the algorithms contained within

  • the Bitcoin open source software;

  • the general availability of appropriate computer processing capacity on a global basis (commonly referred to in the industry as hashing capacity which is measured in Petahash units); and

  • technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development in the Bitcoin mining computer hardware industry such that more recently developed hardware is more economically efficient to run in terms of Bitcoins mined as a function of operating costs, primarily power costs i.e. the speed of hardware evolution in the industry is such that later hardware models generally have faster processing capacity combined with lower operating costs and a lower cost of purchase.

Because of both the Group and the industry’s relatively short life cycle to date management has only limited data available to it. Furthermore the data available also includes data derived from the use of economic modelling to forecast future Bitcoin generation and the assumptions included in such forecasts, including bitcoin price and network difficulty, are derived from management assumptions which are inherently judgemental. Based on current data available management has determined that 25% diminishing value best reflects the current expected useful life of Bitcoin computer mining hardware, the diminishing value determined for financial year ending 30 June 2017 is in line with the value applied for the financial year ending 30 June 2016. Management will review this estimate at each reporting date and will revise such estimates as and when data comes available. Whilst it is currently expected that the Group will dispose by sale of Bitcoin mining hardware at the end of its useful life due to the small volume of such transactions to date the Bitcoin computer mining hardware has been assumed to have no residual value at the end of its useful life. Management will review the appropriateness of its assumption of nil residual value at each reporting date.

As set out in Accounting Policy note 2.12 management also assess whether there are any indicators of impairment of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period and if any such indication exists, the Group will estimate the recoverable amount of its property, plant and equipment.

(ii) Taxation

Income taxes

The Group operates in a newly emerging industry and the application of taxation laws in Australia, the United States and Iceland (the principal countries in which the Group currently operates) in relation to the Group’s activities may change from time to time. Changes in the taxation laws or in assessments or interpretation or decisions in respect of, but not limited to the following, may have a significant impact on the Group’s results:

  • Jurisdiction in which and rates at which income is taxed;

  • Jurisdiction in which and rates at which expenses are deductible;

  • The nature of income taxes levied, for example whether taxes are assessed on the revenue account or on the capital account;

  • Requirements to file tax returns; and

  • The availability of credit for taxes paid in other jurisdictions, for example through the operation of double taxation treaties

53

D I G I T A L X L I M I T E D A N D C O N T R O L L E D E N T I T I E S A B N 5 9 0 0 9 5 7 5 0 3 5

In recognition of the limited trading and tax history of the Group, management do not consider there is sufficient evidence of probability of the ability to utilise temporary differences and tax losses and hence no deferred tax asset has been recognised as at 30 June 2017 in relation to these assets. The Group will continue to assess the performance and may in the future recognise some or all of these assets.

The Group has taken the approach to calculate income tax expense on the basis that all revenue and expenses attributable to its operations are taxable in Australia and all revenue and expenses attributable to its trading operations are taxable in the United States in addition to certain employee costs incurred in the United States plus an appropriate mark-up.

(iii)Options and performance rights

During the current year, 3,849,519 Unlisted Options expiring 30 June 2017, have lapsed, the financial effect was a credit to the Accumulated losses of $642,360.

5. DIVIDENDS

There are no dividends paid or declared during the period.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment reporting

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

Based on the information used for internal reporting purposes by the chief operating decision maker, being the Board and executive committee which makes strategic decisions, at 30 June 2017 the Group operated one reportable segments being software development.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

As at 30 June 2017 the Group has gross revenue tax losses available to be applied in the future periods in the United States and Australia estimated to be US$3.9 million and US$9.8 million respectively. In addition the Group has gross capital losses in Australia estimated at $1.1 million at 30 June 2017. Following a review of the recoverability of the deferred tax losses an asset will not be recognised as uncertainty exists over future recoverability of the deferred tax losses.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

11.1 Wind up of Bitcoin mining operations

On the 8 January 2016 the Group and the Bitcoin mining power and hosting provider Verne had actioned an amendment to the master service agreement between the two parties, releasing the Group as at 2 June 2016 from any future financial obligation as was stipulated under the master service agreement.

The termination of the master service agreement marked the full wind up of the bitcoin mining operations as the group is now shifting its focus to the AirPocket remittance platform.

11.2 Wind up of Bitcoin trading operations

In December 2016, the Group started to wind down its Bitcoin trading operations to concentrate resources on its flagship product AirPocket. Concurrently, active discussions were being held with interested parties to leverage the knowledge, trading platform and customer base of DigitalX Direct.

On 7[th] February 2017, the Group announced that it has entered into a binding agreement with Blockchain Group Limited (BGL) , owner of ACX.io, the largest Bitcoin exchange in Australia by volume and order book. The agreement will see the Company wind down its DigitalX Direct operations by introducing DigitalX Direct customers to BGL in consideration for which it will receive 50% of all profit for customers introduced to the BGL digital currency exchange and on their rollout of other exchanges over a five year term.

11.3 Analysis of profit or loss for the year from discontinued operations

The combined results of the discontinued operations (i.e. Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin trading) included in the loss for the year are set out below. The comparative profit and cash flows from discontinued operations have been re-presented to include those operations classified as discontinued in the current year.

The Group has raised a US$1,966,669 impairment provision against the costs capitalised for its AirPocket intangible asset. Airpocket’s gross capitalised cost totals US$2,016,669. This provision has been recorded in the current period as a result of a lack of historical data with respect to the estimates used in determining the fair value of AirPocket. The provision for impairment charge is US$953,653 and includes a write off expense of US$93,626 for other intangibles such as domain names. The provision is to be reassessed at the next reporting date with anticipation that more information will be available to assess the recoverable amount of the asset.

1The convertible notes were issued to various holders at various dates in the period in units of AUD $10,000, with a 12-month maturity and an annual interest rate of 15%. The total face value of the lending in the period was AUD $700,000. The holder may elect to convert into shares at a conversion right equal to the lower of 5 cents per share and the price of the next capital raise. This factor was determined to be an embedded derivative and has been separated and recorded as a financial liability (see Note 19.2). The holders were also granted 100,000 “free attaching” options for each unit held. These have been valued as demonstrated in Note 22(a) and accounted for as transaction costs. Performance rights were issued to consultants involved in the financing arrangement. The performance rights convert into 1,000,000 options exercisable at the lower of 6 cents or a 20% premium to the next capital raising price. These have been treated as transaction costs. Details to the valuation are disclosed in Note 22(a).

2 The convertible loan was issued on 2 June 2017 in the amount of AUD $300,000, with a 12-month maturity and a 12% annual interest rate. The loan may be converted at the election of the Company at a fixed price of 2.7 cents per share, subject to shareholder approval. This loan has been determined to be a compound instrument. However, management has determined that the conversion option for the instrument does not have a material intrinsic value and therefore nil amounts have been recorded as Equity.

(a) Valuation of options and performance rights

The fair value of the share options and performance rights at grant date are determined using a binomial option pricing method that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the probability of exercise, the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The following tables list the inputs to the model used for valuation of the options:

Expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price is expected to fluctuate during a period. The measure of volatility used in option pricing models is the annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the share over a period of time.

Furthermore, given there are no other companies on the ASX, or any other exchange, whose primary activities are Bitcoin mining and digital currency trading, we do not consider there to be any comparable companies from which to determine an appropriate volatility. Volatility has therefore been based on a one year close-close volatility of DigitalX Limited shares traded on the ASX.

(b) Valuation of performance rights issued

Year ended 30 June 2016

During the financial year ended 30 June 2016 the Director’s assessed the probability that the Class B Performance Rights, as issued in the prior period, would vest at 1 July 2016, to be 0%, and therefore the fair value of the Class B Performance rights has been determined to be nil. As the fair value is consistent with the amount recorded in prior period no impact on the financial performance is to be reflected at 30 June 2016.
