Dear Fellow Shareholders,

DigitalX experienced an exciting year operating in one of the world’s fastest growing markets, driven by increasing awareness and adoption of Blockchain technology. We started the year with a focus on solidifying the Blockchain Global cornerstone investment, building a team of professionals with financial expertise to complement our core industry experience and setting our sights on generating positive cash flows.

The Company began the financial year with myself as CEO, the only Australian-based employee. Certainly, one of the most positive developments has been the time and energy spent on hiring the right talent. We had a key focus on attracting the right team, with a mix of financial expertise in the management of assets as well as product and markets analysis to complement our core industry experience. I am very pleased to see that our team of high calibre individuals has expanded to just under twenty people across Australia and the United States. This skill set will aid DigitalX’s transition into a sustainable growth business over the next three to five years. The management team is now supported by a Board that has well-known expertise within the industry and represents a significant and fully-paid shareholding in your Company.

With the support of the Board and a well-funded Company, management was able to pursue and evaluate business opportunities globally with a focus on achieving significant positive revenues from consulting, advising and creating new crypto-financial products.

Initial Coin Offering commentary

DigitalX was at the forefront of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) revolution - in which, for the first time ever, the market placed a value on promising ideas from entrepreneurs. DigitalX was fortunate to play a role in advising more than 10 projects in a period that may be looked on by history as the foundation of the ‘internet of value’. The ICO process brought together a team behind a founder’s vision to create a mechanism to attract the attention and talent required to co-develop potentially world-changing ideas. The speed that some of these projects were able to develop their project, build a team and prioritise their vision above the immediate needs of the status quo at times exhilarating.

The ICO market saw cross-border collaboration on solving some of the big problems the world is facing. In hindsight, the hype and excitement in the market exceeded the pace of the technology development and the value of the technology that had been created at that time. Those that are bearish on blockchain technology are now in the minority. While there is clear support for the technology, the first iteration of the funding mechanism, ICOs, were not suitable to all projects. On reflection, it can be a flawed model when applied to too many diverse businesses. DigitalX is confident that the upcoming Security Token Offering (STO), hybrid utility and STO, and limited ICO model will see greater benefits for issuers and investors. We are focused on providing advisory services and the technology to enable this transition in a compliant manner.

Financial Discussion

Pleasingly, the excitement and interest in the blockchain sector led to financial success for DigitalX shareholders. The Company is a profitable blockchain company on the ASX, reporting our maiden net profit of over $USD2.5m. In addition to the profitability, prudent management of expenses and treasury led us to a strong financial position, with over $USD10m in assets.

Outlook

As our business has grown, management’s vision has expanded alongside it. We believe our financial stability, technical expertise and track record operating compliantly and securely in the blockchain ecosystem, across several booms and downturns, provides a leading position ahead of competitors. We know we have more work to do to deliver on our mission of providing blockchain technology expertise to help innovative companies launch in global markets. We are going to methodically increase our global network and secure international partners to work with us and continue to work with industry bodies, such as the Australian Digital Commerce Association (ADCA), to promote blockchain technology adoption.

We are pleased to be opening a world-class Blockchain Centre in Western Australia before the end of the year and we also have a small office in Sydney supporting the asset management team. With a mix of seasoned financial professionals and crypto-asset and distributed ledger technology expertise, we are well placed to focus on STOs. We are excited by the opportunity to be a market leader in the booming[1] STO market and look forward to seeing our business grow as we progress this offering.

Operating results

DigitalX is pleased to report the consolidated profit attributable to members of the group after providing for income tax amounted to $USD 2,595,834 (2017: loss of $USD3,973,761).

With the Group well-funded in the early part of the financial year, the management team focused on bringing new services to market that would position the Group as a leading service provider for the blockchain and cryptoasset industry over the medium term. The four service lines the Group operates are Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and Security Token Offering (STO) advisory, funds management, blockchain consulting and Coincast Media’s marketing and education arm.

The Group is pleased to have successfully navigated an extremely volatile market with a focus on increasing its profile in the industry, increasing assets on the balance sheet and by delivering a maiden full year profit for shareholders.

ICO/STO Advisory

DigitalX commenced ICO advisory services in August 2017 and quickly established an extremely strong record of delivering high quality services to clients. The Group provided advisory services to projects that raised in excess of $AUD500m during the period.

The advisory services team specialised in three main categories; technical due diligence, marketing and promotion, and introductions to DigitalX’s network.

The technical services typically included a crypto-economic review of the businesses token model, review of product at launch and review of smart contracts utilised in the ICO process.

The marketing and promotional services were guided by our marketing partners across cryptocurrency and mainstream media. This enabled our clients to be featured in some of the world’s highest profile media across print, digital and television. DigitalX and our marketing partners created high quality content, including videos that were published and shared more than half a million times across mainstream news and social media networks and later formed the basis of our learnings for the new business of Coincast Media.

==> picture [22 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

----- End of picture text -----

We have generated value for our ICO clients by introducing them to high-net-worth cryptocurrency investors and digital currency exchanges. As the world’s first publicly listed Blockchain company and with a team that has been involved in the entire Blockchain ecosystem including mining, trading and Blockchain development, DigitalX has an enviable network.

Blockchain consulting

DigitalX continued to provide services to a small number of groups during the year with highlights including publicly listed clients and a tier 1 global energy firm. DigitalX is currently tailoring an offering to deliver an introduction to Blockchain technology, with proof of concept, to ensure clients can receive validation for adopting the technology at a rapid rate.

Funds under management

In April 2018, the Group announced the opening of the funds under management division, DigitalX Investments, to give high net worth and institutional investors access to a portfolio of cryptoassets. DigitalX’s first fund invests predominantly in the leading cryptocurrencies, with a smaller allocation towards special trading opportunities including ICOs. The fund outperformed the top 10 index during the period and is well placed to attract further interest from sophisticated investors, family offices and institutions looking to gain access to the asset class.

The funds management team has developed extensive research on the marketplace as well as detailed research notes on individual assets within the fund. The fund is planning a large-scale marketing effort in the coming quarter.

Funds management personnel had extensive engagement with prospective partners and regulators in two major investment fund jurisdictions, Panama and Malta, as the Group considers opportunities to expand its funds management division into the international market.

Coincast Media

Coincast Media is a new cryptocurrency business news website and online cryptocurrency education platform and television show. Coincast Media generated revenue of more than $AUD200,000 for the June 2018 quarter and a modest profit. Coincast Media’s digital assets are quickly attracting interest with over half a million digital impressions and the team has been attracting major interest at conferences. The Coincast TV program has successfully launched to provide mainstream media coverage for exciting blockchain businesses. The TV show’s revenue will be generated through a mix of corporate sponsorships and sponsored content.

Future developments

After successfully scaling up our team, DigitalX is continuing to consider ways to expand our business verticals by building on our strong position as a leader in the Blockchain space.

At the end of the 2018 Financial Year, having delivered its maiden full year net profit, DigitalX now sits in a strong position to continue to grow its business arms with the aim of expanding on its results over this year.

C. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE

As noted in Sections A & B, the Board seeks to align the interests of the Executive Team with those of the shareholders when setting future short and long-term benefits. For the year ended 30 June 2018 the total remuneration is reflective of the remuneration strategy as noted above, this is evident from the relationship between:

  • The composition of base and at risk components of remuneration being weighted toward at risk compensation for 100% achievement of the performance hurdles for the Managing Director set at the 2017 AGM, execution of strategy in building new and diversified revenue streams, and the Group’s maiden profit of $2.595m.

• The award of at risk component linked to increased share price year on year (108% increase) and positive earnings per share growth and maiden profit per share.

The Company is not yet at stage of its development where it considers benchmark returns against an ASX peer group (Blockchain and cryptocurrency focussed) relevant based on limited inclusions and comparable data.

FUTURE REMUNERATION DEVELOPMENTS

Future Remuneration Developments

The Directors note at last year’s Annual General Meeting the Remuneration Report passed unanimously on a show of hands and there were no comments on the Remuneration Report.

However, the Directors note recent trends and concerns raised by investors in general around remuneration policies and practices of public companies. With this in mind the Group has commenced an independent remuneration review with remuneration consultant, Crichton + Associates, to review the Group’s remuneration framework. As a result, a new framework is being developed, as set out in the following page, with the view to being finalised prior to the 2018 AGM.

The Group notes in the interim report received that the actual remuneration proposed by the consultant was approximately 34% higher than the total annual remuneration (TAR) proposed predominantly due to a lower STI and LTI dollar component.

No remuneration recommendations were adopted for the year ended 30 June 2018

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.

==> picture [22 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

24
----- End of picture text -----

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.

The Board of directors has considered the position is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as noted above, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

Non-cash investing and financing activities

During the year the Group announced that it had invested $AUD750,000 into the DigitalX Fund. This amount comprised $AUD631,000 in cash payment included in the consolidated cashflows under payment for investments including digital assets in fund. The remaining amount of $AUD131,000 was invested by way of cryptocurrencies.

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

==> picture [22 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

39
----- End of picture text -----

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see Notes below), 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.

  • Note C3 – Revenue recognition from cryptocurrency related transactions including, bitcoin mining and ICOs

  • Note D4 – Digital assets including bitcoin inventory

  • Note D4 – Fair value of digital assets

  • Note E2 – Capitalisation intangibles and impairment

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.

  • Note C5 – Multijurisdictional taxation of operations

  • Note E2 – Valuation of share based payments

KEY AUDIT MATTER

Item is a key audit matter referenced in the Auditor’s Report on Page 28.

  • The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement for the 2018 financial year can be accessed at: https://DigitalX.com/corporate governance/.

B1 - 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 excepted as described in Note C3. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis of preparation

==> picture [22 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

40
----- End of picture text -----

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

At the date of this report the consolidated entity’s has a strong working capital position and its 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.

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 (‘$USD’), 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 $USD.

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. Nonmonetary 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.

The Group continues to monitor its exposure and dealings in various currencies including $USD, $AUD, $HKD and has considered that for the year ended 30 June 2018 that $USD is the most appropriate currency for the Group’s reporting as the predominant currency for revenue generating activities has been $USD combined with the material US operations. The Group will continue to assess the relevant of that assessment each reporting period.

Current and Non-Current classification

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

C1 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 (CODM), being the Board which makes strategic decisions, at 30 June 2018 the group operated three.

With the change in the Group’s service offerings the Group now has 3 reportable segments; ICO Advisory, funds under management and Technology. The Group does report media and marketing as a segment as the Group’s interest in these activities is via a joint venture as disclosed in Note D5. In the previous corresponding period (period ended 30 June 2017) the Group had 1 reportable segment, software development which has been renamed technology in the current reporting period.

Segment description

ICO & STO ADVISORY

The Group provides advisory services specialising in three main categories; technical due diligence, marketing and promotion, and introductions to DigitalX’s network.

FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT (FUM)

The FUM division was setup in 2018 to give high net worth and institutional investors access to a portfolio of cryptoassets. DigitalX’s first fund invests predominantly in the leading cryptocurrencies, with a smaller allocation towards special trading opportunities including ICOs.

==> picture [21 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

----- End of picture text -----

TECHNOLOGY

The Group has previously been engaged in the development of a 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.

UNALLOCATED

Amounts disclosed in the unallocated segment primarily relates to Group-level functions including governance, finance, legal, risk management and company secretarial.

C2 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Wind up of Bitcoin mining operations

On 8 January 2017 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 2017 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.

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 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 Group has wound 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 owned ACX, digital currency exchange over a five-year term.

C3 - REVENUE & RECEIVABLES

Policy - 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:

A. Bitcoin Mining (Prior year)

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. Revenue earned from Bitcoin processing 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 Coin Market Cap.

B. Liquidity Desk, DigitalX Direct and Market Making Transaction

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.

==> picture [21 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

49
----- End of picture text -----

Revenue activities from bitcoin mining and liquidity desk have been wound down as set out in Note C2.

C. ICO Advisory

The Group provides consulting services for its customers, assisting in the customers’ sale of its digital assets, with the sale being conducted as an ICO or a Pre-ICO. In either case, these services are rendered over a period of time until the close of the sale. For the provisioning of its consulting services, the Group is remunerated by its customers through the distribution of cash, the customers’ digital asset, other digital assets, or a combination of these sources.

The Group recognises ICO consulting revenue when all of the following are met:

  • Its services have been fully rendered under contract and the Group no longer has any continuing involvement in the sale of digital assets by its customers;

  • The digital asset’s value is measurable, which is determined:

  • by referencing publicly available pricing data from digital asset exchanges; or

  • for those digital assets not yet listed on exchanges, by referencing the results of the ICO or Pre-ICO (i.e. the unit price of a digital asset can be measured by dividing the dollar amounts raised in the ICO by the number of units issued in the ICO).

  • The Group measures its ICO consulting revenue at the fair value of the consideration. Where digital assets are received, the fair value is determined with reference to the price of the digital asset on the date at which the digital asset is transferred to the Group’s wallet or exchange account.

D. Interest revenue

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

C4 - EXPENSES, PAYABLES & OTHER ASSETS

Policy - 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.

==> picture [78 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [132 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Policy - 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.

Policy - 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.

Policy - Goods and services, Value Added Tax, or Sales Tax

Amounts 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.

C5 INCOME TAX

Policy - 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 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.

==> picture [596 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [78 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [132 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

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. Digital CC 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 taxconsolidated 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 (or receivable) to (or 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.

Estimates & Judgement – Taxation

Income taxes

The Group operates in a newly emerging industry and the application of taxation laws in Australia, the United States, Hong Kong and previously 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

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 2018 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.

D. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

As at 30 June 2018 the Group has tax losses available to be applied in the future periods in the United States and Australia estimated to be $USD4.5 million and $USD4.8 million respectively. The losses in respect of the Group’s operations in Hong Kong are immaterial. In addition, the Group has gross capital losses in Australia estimated at $USD1.1 million at 30 June 2018. The Group reviews the recoverability of tax losses each reporting period by reviewing the continuity of ownership test (COT) or Same Business Test (SBT) and no adjustments have been made for the year ended 30 June 2018.

Other than those noted above and tax losses there are no other material temporary differences.

E. Other tax information

The tax rate used for the reconciliation above is the corporate tax rate of 27.5% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law for entities with gross consolidated turnover of less than $AUD25,000,000.

F. Future Developments

  • (i) The Group notes that on the 1 January 2018, the US corporate tax rate was lowered to a flat rate of 21% (2017: 35%) for financial years commencing 1 January 2018. The impact of the rate change has been reflected in the Group’s income tax calculations in Section B above. As the US operations currently has accumulated tax losses of $10.4m and therefore any change is not expected to materially impact US tax, however, if and when the US operations become profitable the Group will benefit from the losses accumulated.

  • (ii) The Group notes that from the 2019 financial year on, the corporate tax for Hong Kong will use a two-tier regime where profits will be assessed at 8.25% for the first $HK2,000,000 and 16.5% (2017: 16.5%) above $HK2,000,000. The Group’s operations in Hong Kong are immaterial and the effective of the rate is expected to immaterial.

  • (iii) The Group has commenced a transfer pricing update review between the Australian and US operations, the Group expects this to be completed prior to the lodgement of the next tax returns in both the US and Australia. The impact to the consolidated results arising from the difference in tax rates to be immaterial.

C6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

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.

D1 - CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to:

  • Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and

  • Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

D2 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including but not limited to:

  • Foreign exchange risk;

  • Liquidity risk;

  • Interest rate risk;

  • Credit risk; and

  • Digital asset price 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 retained earnings.

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 2018, the Group had exposure to foreign currency risk within its recognised assets and liabilities. The Cash and cash equivalents held $AUD7,556,476 (2017: $AUD253,210) in bank accounts. The Group has no derivative liabilities in $AUD (2017: $AUD157,440) and interest bearing liabilities of $AUD440,000 (2017: $AUD547,959).

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.

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.

The Liquidity and Interest rate risk table above has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flow (including both interest and principal cash flows expected) using contractual maturities of financial assets 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.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables.

==> picture [596 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [78 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [132 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. For banks and financial institutions, the Group aims to hold deposit with independently rated parties with a rating of ‘A’ or above based on S&P ratings. From time to time the Group may hold deposits with unrated institutions (i.e. exchanges) after trading in digital assets. The Group’s credit risk exposure is set out below

Due to the nature of the customers the Group engages with rating are not common place. Credit risk is therefore factored into the transaction price for services often in the form of bonus tokens or a discount to public token sale rate. At 30 June 2018 no customers had a publish credit rating.

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.

==> picture [21 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

60
----- End of picture text -----

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 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.

At 30 June 2018 all assets carried at fair value are deemed to be level 1 based on observable prices in an active market.

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

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.

D3 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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 short-term, 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 digital assets which are classified as inventory (refer to D4).

D4 - DIGITAL ASSETS

Digital Assets

Digital assets are cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which use an open-source software-based online system where transactions are recorded in a public ledger (blockchain) using its own unit of account. The Group is a broker-trader of bitcoin and other coins as it buys and sells 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 digital assets 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. Amounts are derecognised when the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. As a result of the various blockchain protocols, costs to sell 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.

Digital asset fair value measurement is a level 1 fair value as it is based on a quoted (unadjusted) market price (Coin Market Cap) in active markets for identical assets.

Digital assets are 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 digital asset.

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.

Estimates & Judgements

(a) Digital assets (including bitcoin inventory)

Management considers that the Group’s bitcoin and altcoins (any coin that is not bitcoin) are a commodity. As International Financial Reporting Standards do not define the term ‘commodity,’

==> picture [596 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [78 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [132 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

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.

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.

(b) Fair value of Digital Assets

Digital assets (including bitcoin inventory) is measured at fair value using the quoted price in United States dollars on the Coin Market Cap (www.coinmarketcap.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 quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets. Management uses a number of exchanges including Binance, KuCoin, Independent Reserve and others in order to provide the Group 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.

D5 – INVESTMENTS

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.

==> picture [596 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [78 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [132 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

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.

C. Investment in DigitalX Fund

On 26 of April 2018, the Group provided seed capital to the DigitalX Fund (a unit trust) for the purpose of investing in and generating returns digital assets. At 30 June 2018, the Group has an interest in the fund of 46%, however, as DigitalX also provides fund management services for the fund it is deemed that the Group meets the definition of control under AASB10: Consolidated Financial Statements and as a result, the fund has been included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Group will continue to assess its position with respect to control of the fund at each reporting period.

The net asset value (NAV) of the Group’s units in the fund at 30 June 2018 is $AUD 0.79.

Refer to Note D1 for fair value and liquidity disclosures. Subsequent to 30 June 2018, the convertible note was satisfied through the issue of 19,737,295 shares as per Note H4.

1The convertible notes were issued to various holders at various dates in the period in units of $AUD10,000, with a 12-month maturity and an annual interest rate of 15%. The total face value of the lending in the period was $AUD550,000. The holder may elect to convert into shares at a $AUD0.027 per share. The note was determined to be a compound instrument result in a split between the liability and equity components. The holders were also granted free attaching options for each unit held. These have been valued as demonstrated in Note F2 and accounted for as transaction costs.

2The convertible notes were issued to various holders at various dates in the period in units of $AUD10,000, with a 12-month maturity and an annual interest rate of 15%. The total face value of the lending in the period was $AUD700,000. 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. The holders were also granted 100,000 “free attaching” options for each unit held. These have been valued as demonstrated in Note F2 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 F2.

3 The convertible loan was issued on 2 June 2018 in the amount of $AUD300,000, 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 $AUD0.027 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.

4The derivative financial instrument is the conversion right of the holders of the notes. The liability has been measured at grant date using the valuation inputs and estimates as described in Note F2. The initial value at grant date was $149,747. A re-measurement at 30 June 2018 resulted in a fair value of the instrument of $121,026. The adjustment of $20,197 has been recorded in profit or loss on the Statement of Profit of Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.l

E1 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

Policy

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.

Leases

----- Start of picture text -----

----- End of picture text -----

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.

Estimates & Judgements (Prior Year Only)

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 C3). 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.

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

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 2018 is in line with the value applied for the financial year ending 30 June 2017. 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 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.

E2 - NON-CURRENT ASSETS - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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.

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 2018 is $USD2,016,187.

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 $USD1,966,669 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.

2 The Group has raised a $USD1,966,669 impairment provision against the costs capitalised for its AirPocket intangible asset. AirPocket’s gross capitalised cost totals $USD2,016,188. This provision was recorded in the prior 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.

F2 - RESERVES

Nature of reserves

Option premium and share- Reserve is established to record balances pertaining to share options and performance rights
based payment reserve granted for services provided to the company by employees and vendors.
Convertible note reserve Reserve is established to record amounts required to be recognised in equity for convertible notes
that meet the definition of compound instruments.
Foreign Exchange Reserve Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative
amount is reclassified toprofit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
Non-controlling interest This reserve is used to record transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a
loss of control.

1 Ordinary share issues treated as share based payments that have no vesting conditions are recognised directly in equity.

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.

==> picture [132 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [77 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

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 nonvesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

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:

Valuation of options and performance rights on issue or owed as at 30 June 2017

During the financial year ended 30 June 2017 the Director’s assessed the probability that the Class B Performance Rights, as issued in the prior period, would vest at 1 July 2017, 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 2017.

The section below includes information regarding the Group organisational structure and information related to the parent entity as required by the Corporations Act 2001.

G1 - 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:

  • 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.

==> picture [21 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

77
----- End of picture text -----

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.

G2 - CONTROLLED ENTITIES

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiaries in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note G1. All controlled entities are included in the consolidated annual final report. The parent entity does not guarantee to pay the deficiency of its controlled entities in the event a winding up of any controlled entity. The period end of the controlled entities is the same as that of the parent entity, except for the US companies listed below which use 31 December year end.

On 16 February 2018, the Group incorporated a new subsidiary, DigitalX Funds Management Pty Ltd, to act as the fund manager for the DigitalX Fund and any future funds the Group may launch.

Investment in DigitalX Fund (DigitalX Fund Unit Trust)

On the 26 April 2018, the Group provided seed capital to the DigitalX Fund (a unit trust) for the purpose of investing in and generating returns digital assets. At 30 June 2018, the Group has an interest in the fund of 46%, however, as DigitalX also provides fund management services for the fund it is deemed that the Group meets the definition of control under AASB10: Consolidated Financial Statements and as a result, the fund has been included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Group will continue to assess its position with respect to control of the fund at each reporting period.

Year ended 30 June 2017

There were no changes to the controlled entities during the year ended 30 June 2017.

G3 - PARENT ENTITY INFORMATION

The accounting policies of the parent entity, which have been applied in determining the financial information shown below, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Summary Note A for a summary of the significant accounting policies relating to the Group.

Parent entity financial information

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

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.

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.

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.

These requirements improve and simplify
the approach for classification and

instruments will be classified based on:
(i) the objective of the entity’s business

assets; and (ii) the characteristics of the
contractual cash flows.

recycling on disposal of the instrument.
c Introduces a ‘fair value through other

category for particular simple debt

d Financial assets can be designated and

eliminates or significantly reduces a

inconsistency that would arise from
measuring assets or liabilities, or
recognising the gains and losses on

e Where the fair value option is used for
financial liabilities the change in fair
value is to be accounted for as follows:
• the change attributable to changes
in credit risk are presented in Other
Comprehensive Income (OCI)
• the remaining change is presented in
profit or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an
accounting mismatch in the profit or
loss, the effect of the changes in credit
risk are also presented in profit or loss.
Otherwise, the following requirements
have generally been carried forward
unchanged from AASB 139 into AASB 9:
• classification and measurement of
financial liabilities; and
• derecognition requirements for
financial assets and liabilities
AASB 9 requirements regarding hedge
accounting represent a substantial
overhaul of hedge accounting that enable
entities to better reflect their risk
management activities in the financial
statements.
Furthermore, AASB 9 introduces a new
