Operating results
The result for the year ended 30 June 2019 was a consolidated loss attributable to members of the group of $USD2,524,151 (2018: profit of $USD2,595,834).
DigitalX provided market-leading services to the digital asset market during a profitable 2018 financial year, however, the results were impacted by a slow-down in the market and a significant draw down in the value of digital asset prices which has contributed to a significant reduction in the Group’s revenue from the previous financial year. The four main service offerings the Group operated during the period were corporate advisory & blockchain consulting, funds management, and media (via the Coincast Joint Venture). Since the end of the financial year, DigitalX has been working hard to leverage its core competencies, specifically, the commercialisation of blockchain technologies and is focusing on blockchain consulting and development and funds management.
Despite the final financial result, the Group ended the year well capitalised and resourced to deliver an improved year for shareholders.
Corporate advisory
DigitalX provided corporate advisory services to organisations seeking to launch digital assets during 2018/2019 through a combination of technical due diligence, marketing and promotion, and introductions to DigitalX’s network.
While DigitalX has significant industry experience in this sector, the poor performance of the market (only 7% of ICO’s outperformed Bitcoin[1] ) saw DigitalX reshape it’s offering to focus on security token offerings (being digital assets representing financial securities). DigitalX formed the DX Americas LLC joint venture to service this security token market with US Investment Bank, Americas Executions LLC. DigitalX considers the demand for security tokens to still be at a preliminary stage due to the current lack of secondary trading markets for these financial products and therefore early revenues have been minimal.

Blockchain consulting and development
DigitalX has provided services to a small number of groups during the quarter, with highlights including publicly listed clients and a tier one global energy firm. DigitalX is currently tailoring a consulting offering to deliver introductory blockchain technology workshops and proof of concept development, assisting clients to rapidly validate use cases for adopting blockchain technologies into their businesses.
DigitalX has been actively working to build a market for blockchain technology consulting and development, which is strong internationally. DigitalX management have been heavily involved in growing interest in the blockchain industry through a range of speaking events, educational engagements and contributions to: Blockchain Australia, CPA Annual Congress Western Australia, Office of the Auditor General WA, CPA Western Australia Member's Breakfast, Australian Human Rights Commission - Impact of new technology, ADCA ICO Treasury submission, Blockchain Centre Perth, West Tech Fest, World Bank Aid and International Development Tour. DigitalX will continue to lead efforts to create a market for blockchain technology in Australia which the firm is well capitalised to commercialise.
DigitalX secured its first client in the stable coin market through the engagement with Bullion Asset Management to launch ‘xbullion’, a gold backed digital asset. xbullion issuance and redemptions are recorded on the blockchain and are audited for compliance. In addition to the use of blockchain, the underlying gold bullion is securely vaulted and insured and investors who purchase xbullion will be able to redeem these digital assets for physical gold bullion if they choose.
The Company is at the forefront of these new digital assets in Australia that seek to encapsulate the benefits of both historical regulated securities and the new technologies provided by digital assets.
Funds under management
The Group’s funds under management division, DigitalX Asset Management, focuses on offering professionally managed investment products that invest in digital assets and blockchain technology companies. Over the past year, the division operated its Digital Asset Fund, which invests in leading digital assets, with a smaller allocation towards special trading opportunities.

Since its launch on May 1, 2018, the Digital Asset Fund has underperformed its benchmark market cap weighted index by 8% to June 30, 2019, principally as a result of its significant underweighting in bitcoin relative to its benchmark index. Additionally, the fund has 20% of its assets invested in two unlisted investments.
This division also worked on its product development and research efforts. The portfolio management team has focused on developing extensive research on hardware and software inputs to the blockchain ecosystem and on applications to other emerging technologies such as the internet-of-things (IOT) and AI. The division also developed and distributed research notes on blockchain and digital asset ecosystems.
Division personnel also worked on developing its distribution strategy throughout the year, and continued to build contacts with prospective distribution partners and investors in Europe and in Panama. The division plans to expand marketing of its Digital Asset Fund and continue product development efforts over the coming year.
Coincast Media
Coincast Media was a joint venture that provided education, public relations and content creation to the blockchain marketplace. The division started the year strongly with the launch of the 12-week weekly blockchain TV series ‘Coincast TV’ on Sky News. Coincast was involved with planning a second series of Coincast TV with other media channels, but was unsuccessful in securing a contract that would be profitable for the business. Coincast Media engaged with DIVAN.TV, an international TV streaming service which is available in more than 200 countries around the world, but the engagement did not yield commercial success.
Coincast Media was engaged to provide media, marketing and PR services for a variety of exciting technology companies. The primary strategy focused on serving clients that were going through a news heavy period, such as a capital raising process or conference and roadshow activities. As the market declined over the period, the opportunity to generate high value engagements in the industry was limited to a select few clients. Since the end of the financial year the partners have been reviewing the viability of the joint venture.

Future Developments
DigitalX has experienced a transitional year in a challenging market as it shapes its offering towards blockchain consulting and development and asset management. We consider blockchain technology to be in its formative years. While major structural and technological revolutions often have a 50-year cycle[2] , it is important to remember it is only 10 years since the launch of the Bitcoin whitepaper. DigitalX’s mission to commercialise applications of blockchain technology is unchanged, and we are well capitalised to achieve this goal. The Company expects to be in a strong position to present its refined blockchain commercialisation strategy and the exciting developments in xbullion to the market in coming months.

Historical cost convention
The Preliminary Financial Report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for digital assets 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 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 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, $EUR and has considered that for the year ended 30 June 2019 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 is 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.
The Group classifies all other assets as non-current.
A liability is current when it is:
-
expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
-
held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
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.

C1 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment reporting
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified based on 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 2019 the Group operated three segments: 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 D3. In the previous corresponding period (period ended 30 June 2018) the Group had three reportable segments: ICO Advisory, Funds Under Management, and Technology.
Segment description
ADVISORY
The Group provides advisory services specialising in four main categories; consulting, technical due diligence, development, marketing and promotion, and introductions to DigitalX’s network.
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.
FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT (FUM)
The FUM division was setup in 2018 to give high net worth and institutional investors access to a portfolio of digital assets. DigitalX’s first fund invests predominantly in the leading digital assets, with a smaller allocation towards special trading opportunities.
UNALLOCATED
Amounts disclosed in the unallocated segment primarily relates to Group-level functions including governance, finance, legal, risk management and company secretarial.

C2 - 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. Advisory & Consulting
The Group provides consulting services for its customers, assisting in the customers’ sale of its digital assets, with the sale being conducted as a token sale or pre token sale. In either case, these services are rendered 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.
Performance Obligations
The Group recognises token sale consulting revenue as a point in time obligation when 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 and the consideration becomes payables. If the Group is entitled to consideration on a pro rata basis or for works complete, then the Group shall recognise revenue over time by reference to the work completed.
The Group recognises revenue from fund raising at the time the customer receives the benefits of the fund raising. Depending on the nature of the individual agreement with the customer, this may be through-out the duration of the token sale or at the completion of the token sale and funds are received by the customer.
Transaction Price
Where the contract provides for payment in the customers digital assets, the digital asset’s fair value is determined:
==> picture [22 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
17
----- End of picture text -----
-
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 sale (i.e. the unit price of a digital asset can be measured by dividing the dollar amounts raised in the sale by the number of units issued in the sale).
B. Trade and other receivables and contract assets
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess credit risk characteristics based on the days past due. The Group allows 1% for amounts that are 30 to 60 days past due, 1.5% for amounts that are between 60 and 90 days past due and impair any amounts that are more than 90 days past due.
All financial assets, except for those at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) and equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity FVOCI), are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

C3 - 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.
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.

C4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
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 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 D2).

1Cash deposits at call include cash balances on exchanges. The balance originates following a liquidation of digital assets.
D2 - DIGITAL ASSETS
Digital assets are assets 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 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.
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.

22
----- End of picture text -----
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 below.
Estimates & Judgements
(a) Digital assets
Management note that the topic of digital assets and the accounting for digital assets continues to be considered by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and continues to monitors new comments and interpretations released by the Board and other standard setters from around the world.
In line with this, the Group has considered its position for the year ending 30 June 2019 and has determined that the Group’s digital assets fall into 3 categories:
-
Inventory method (historical method used by the Group)
-
Intangible asset method (the method noted by the IASB in its most recent deliberations[3] )
-
Financial asset method (used where the digital asset meets the criteria of a financial asset)
Management notes that under the 3 methods noted above, the treatment continues to be to measure digital assets at fair value (unless otherwise disclosed) under the respective accounting standards.
(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 from a number of different sources with the primary being 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.
Unlisted digital assets are fair valued using a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 techniques.

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 9 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.

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:
-
Computer equipment – 3 years
-
Leasehold improvements – 5 years
Depreciation is recognised 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 -----
27
----- 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 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.

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
==> picture [22 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
33
----- End of picture text -----
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.
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:

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.

----- Start of picture text -----
35
----- 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.
