Letter from the Chairman

Dear Shareholders,

The results for Financial Year 2024 are disappointing. Amongst a return to strong digital asset prices and in a year where our two cornerstone funds were ranked in the top 3 performing funds in Australia, the financial year loss is simply disappointing. Notwithstanding that, the Company maintains a strong balance sheet and the fundamental building blocks to turn the financial result around.

The Company’s two fundamental businesses, funds management and the Sell My Shares business, both performed well, with Sell My Shares continuing to break month-on-month records for transactions and revenues. As highlighted above, the Company’s Bitcoin wholesale Fund and the wholesale Digital Asset Fund both performed extremely well, ranking as leading performers in the Australian market. However, growing new funds under management continued to be a challenge.

The Company’s biggest move in Financial Year 2024 came to fruition in early July 2024, after the end of the Financial Year, with the listing of the Company’s spot Bitcoin ETF on the Australian Securities Exchange. This was a truly remarkable achievement for the Company, to be the first Australian-based company to list a Bitcoin ETF on the ASX, and it speaks to the depth of knowledge and talent within the Company’s ranks. Labeled ‘the People’s ETF’, the Bitcoin ETF is the first opportunity Australian retail investors have had to gain direct exposure to Bitcoin on the ASX (other than buying DCC shares) without buying and holding the Bitcoin themselves. Heading into the new Financial Year, the Bitcoin ETF will form the cornerstone of our funds management business.

The digital asset space continues to evolve slowly, but it is clear that concepts and processes that are the centerpiece of digital asset technologies are slowly gaining traction and, importantly, understanding amongst the broader community. Real world asset tokenization continues to be a concept spoken about enthusiastically amongst the digital asset community, however it has been slower in its adoption in traditional investment markets. Notwithstanding that, DigitalX remains ready to be a first mover as this space continues to develop.

With the lessons from 2024 behind us, and with a very strong balance sheet underpinning our business, the Company’s focus in the coming financial year will be on diligent cost control to ensure that as we continue to work on growing our revenues, the Company chooses the correct path back to break even and profitability for the benefit of all shareholders.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank shareholders for their continued support in 2024.

Sincerely

Toby Hicks

Non-Executive Chair

Interim CEO Report

As Interim CEO since September 2024, my primary focus has been on understanding the required changes necessary in the business to reach profitability as quickly as possible. During the initial phase, I conducted a thorough analysis of the staff's activities and meticulously reviewed the FY25 budget

Based on this analysis, I have identified several short-term objectives critical for directing the business toward sustained profitability and summarised below.

  1. Improve Sales capability

  2. Assess the possible merger of the Bitcoin Fund into BTXX

  3. Tighten SMS control environment and improve operational efficiency

  4. Enhance product roadmap for Drawbridge

  5. Launch global distribution and retail channels for the Real World Asset Tokenisation (RWAx) fund

  6. Optimise and redirect marketing budget to focus on sales channels for BTXX and the active strategy DigitalX Fund

  7. Explore low-risk opportunities to generate revenue from the Bitcoin held on the balance sheet

  8. Ensure robust expense management processes in place.

I am actively monitoring progress on each of these short-term goals, whilst collaborating with the Board to identify and appoint a permanent CEO for DigitalX.

Corporate

Treasury

The Company’s digital asset treasury holdings (including fund units) increased by $19.1 million or 88.7% over the 12 month period, from $22.5 million at the end of June 2023 to $40.6 million at 30 June 2024. The increase in value can be attributed to the appreciation in the price of Bitcoin and broader digital assets, namely due to increased demand from retail and institutional investors following the US Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs in early January 2024.

The price of Bitcoin increased 106.3% over the 12 month period to AU$94,052, while the value of the Company's Bitcoin holdings increased by 61.6%. The discrepancy in performance of the Company’s treasury holdings was due in large part to DigitalX management selling down a portion of its Bitcoin holdings held in Treasury (~23%) in September 2023. As at 30 June 2024, DigitalX Limited held 114.9 BTC in its treasury (not including fund units).

Private Placement

In mid-March 2024, the Company launched a Private Placement to raise $3,000,000 (before costs).

The Company issued 79,104,479 new DCC Ordinary Shares at a price of $0.067 per share, with 89,104,479 attached options exercisable at $0.10 which expire 30 September 2024. The Issue Price represented a discount of 19.2% to the closing Share Price of $0.083 on 13 March 2024.

Share Purchase Plan

In mid-December 2023, the Company launched a Share Purchase Plan to raise up to $2.5 million. The Plan entitled Eligible Shareholders, irrespective of the size of their shareholding in DigitalX, to purchase up to $30,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of $0.046 per Share. As at the closing date of 25 January 2024, the Company was pleased to announce that it raised a total of $1,885,108.10, with 40,980,513 new DCC Ordinary Shares issued to eligible applicants. Each of the Company’s Directors elected to subscribe for their full entitlement under the SPP.

Subsequent to the conclusion of the period, DigitalX Asset management successfully launched its flagship spot Bitcoin ETF on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The ETF commenced trading on the ASX on 12 July 2024.

Sell My Shares

A referral link to our partner, Raiz, has also gone live via the Sell My Shares website and email correspondence with customers, which generates income through a commission arrangement.

As part of the Company's new strategic initiatives, Sell My Shares transitioned in October 2023 it’s AFSL provider and executing broker. The transition has resulted in improved margins of >10%.

Product Development

Investment Process Automation - DigitalX Playlist

The team continued work on encoding the portfolio composition component of the investment process, which is called the DigitalX “Playlist”. The team is exploring and prototyping decentralised alternatives to traditional methods of portfolio construction, sourcing and analysis of asset data. The development is being conducted internally and with partners, including the Digital Finance CRC (DFCRC). This approach presents opportunities for comparative assessment, synergies, and differentiation across DigitalX product offerings. It may also provide additional revenue opportunities that are complementary to traditional Funds Under Management models.

Digital Distribution Channels

The product team continues assisting with identifying and prototyping distribution options for the Company’s RWAx Fund. This is to support scaling customer access for the target customer segments and asset classes selected by the Funds business. During the quarter this included creating a roadmap of opportunities and requirements to be able to facilitate offshore and onshore distribution platforms.

Retail Support

The team continued to support the DigitalX Bitcoin ETF launch with project processes and tooling. In addition, the product team is participating in a process review of the SMS business with a view to enhancing SMS’s tooling.

Strategic Partnerships

On 13 November 2023, DigitalX announced that it had entered into a strategic partnership in the form of a nonbinding Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Canadian-regulated digital asset fund manager 3iQ to work on the distribution of its digital asset investments products and to investigate and undertake the work to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF on the ASX.

Following ongoing discussions, DigitalX and 3iQ identified the desire to work together to develop and distribute their digital asset investment solutions in Australia and internationally. The MoU enables DigitalX and 3iQ to leverage each other's digital asset investment expertise and global distribution networks for its existing products, as well as collaborate on future fund product development. This aligned with the Company’s 14 May 2024 announcement which stated that DigitalX and 3iQ had signed a distribution agreement to promote and grow 3iQs QMAP product in the Asia-Pacific Region.

The Agreement details that DigitalX will receive a referral fee for introducing potential investors to 3iQ’s QMAP platform, with the intention of generating revenue for the Product within the territory of Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, excluding Japan.

During the period, DigitalX also announced that it would be working alongside ASX-listed K2 Asset Management to act as the Responsible Entity for the DigitalX Bitcoin ETF, leveraging their many years of experience in managing ASXlisted ETFs, compliance systems, and Australian financial services licence requirements.

On 5 April 2024, DigitalX announced via its social media channels, an exclusive partnership with Liquidity.

Key Risks
Impact
Mitigation
Price risk of digital
assets
The consolidated entity holds digital assets as a
balance sheet asset and manages digital assets
on behalf of clients through the funds
management business. Price volatility of digital
assets may cause impact to the consolidated
entity ’s performance.
Price volatility is inherent to the digital asset
markets. The company’s position has been as
long-term holder of Bitcoin but as the market h
begun to mature the company has started to
diversify into other digital asset holdings such a
Ethereum. The company will, during periods of
heightened volatility, review its core positions
from an acquisition or divestment perspective.
The funds business will review the holdings
monthly as part of the investment committee
process and limits exposure to any one asset t
40% in line with the investment memorandum.
Safeguarding of digital
assets
Due to the emerging nature of digital assets,
there is a heightened risk around the security
and management of access to digital assets.
The company and the funds both utilise a best-
in-class custodian (Bitgo) to manage the securi
and management of digital assets with the
objective to maximise the amount held in cold
storage.
The custodian also maintains its own insurance
policy over digital asset balances which
proportionally covers digital assets held in cold
storage.
Blockchain technology
Blockchain technology is a new and nascent
technology that continues to evolve from a
technological perspective. The company’s funds
and product development business both utilise
blockchain technology.
The company mitigates this risk through a
number of different mechanisms such as, hiring
staff experienced in digital assets and blockcha
technology and supporting ongoing training an
development, rigorous deployment processes f
products and due diligence and testing on new
blockchain technology service providers such a
custodians, wallets, exchanges and smart
contracting languages.
Regulatory regime
around digital assets
Digital assets are an evolving asset class and
the regulation regime around digital assets
continues to change.
Where applicable, the company maintains an
Australian Financial Services Licence
authorisations for dealing in digital assets and
has done so since 2018.
The company continues to monitor ongoing
changes in legislation for impacts on the
business. Most recently, the
company responded to the Treasury
Consultation paper on Crypto Asset Secondary
Service Providers.
During the prior year, as part of the ongoing
evolution and uplift in risk practices,
the company also implemented a fortnightly
financial service compliance meeting, in additio
to its quarterly review, and appointed a Chief
Risk Officer.

Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance

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 2024 the total remuneration is reflective of the remuneration strategy with adjustments made to reflect the current state of the consolidated entity and the change in performance from the previous year, this is evident from the relationship between:

21 21

DigitalX Limited Directors' report 30 June 2024

==> picture [28 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

  • Total KMP reported remuneration decreased 28.0% from $948,977 to $683,303, primarily reflective of reduced number of KMP in the current year. This reduction in KMP aligns with the company’s strategic decision to streamline the executive team and improve operational efficiency. This is reflected in the reduction in operating expenditure (excluding fund management expenses and non-cash items) relative to income, which saw a 17% improvement over the same period. Total base remuneration (including other benefits) was down 27.9% from $761,480 to $549,189, aligned with the above reduction in KMP. At-risk remuneration was down 28.5% from $187,496 to $134,113, in line with the share-based compensation granted during the financial year, which reduced in line with the reduction in members of KMP.

  • Decrease in vested at-risk remuneration to $66,398 from $95,328 (30.3% decrease from the prior year) reflects the company’s performance against key performance indicators (KPIs) such as achievement of a cash flow positive run rate, funds under management hurdles and improvement in the employee net promoter ('eNPS') score. This decrease demonstrates the direct link between the company’s performance and the remuneration outcomes for the Executive Team, ensuring that remuneration is ali gned with the shareholders’ interests.

The consolidated entity is not yet at stage of its development where it considers benchmark returns against an ASX peer group (blockchain focused) relevant based on limited inclusions and comparable data.

Non-executive directors

Non- executive directors remuneration arrangements include compensation in the form of annual directors’ fees in accordance with their relevant service agreement. The non-executive directors from time to time may receive incentive compensation in the form of share-based payments (as approved by shareholders). The maximum aggregate directors fee pool limit is $350,000 which was approved on 21 November 2019.

For the year ended 30 June 2024, all non-executive directors received a base fee of $AUD50,000 exclusive of entitlements, the chairman is entitled to an additional $AUD25,000 for fulfilling the duties of the chair.

Amounts payable to director-controlled entities for services provided by directors for the year ending 30 June 2024 is detailed in the 'Details of remuneration' table of this report.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decisionmaking capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

DigitalX Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2024

==> picture [28 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Basis of preparation

Consolidated entity

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of DigitalX Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2024 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. DigitalX Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Material accounting policies

Basis of preparation

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

Compliance with IFRS

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

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in developing and applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see notes below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on th e amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

• Revenue recognition (note 4)

• Digital assets, including fair value of digital assets (note 13)

• Fair value of investments (note 12)

• Consolidation of DigitalX Funds (note 26)

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.

• Valuation of share-based payments (note 30)

• Impairment testing of goodwill and investments (note 14)

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 signing the financial report.

Presentation and functional currency

Presentation currency

The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian Dollars.

Functional currency

The individual financial statements of each 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 Australian dollars (‘$AUD’), 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 consolidated entity the functional currency has been determined to be $AUD.

36 36

DigitalX Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2024

==> picture [28 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.

Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Current and 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity classifies all other liabilities as non -current.

Historical cost convention

The consolidated 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.

Note 3. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified based on internal reports about components of the consolidated entity 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 2024 the consolidated entity operated three segments, Product Development, Asset Management and Other. There have been no changes to operating segments from the corresponding period ended 30 June 2023.

Segment description

Product Development ('PD')

The consolidated entity develops its own products such as, RegTech (Drawbridge), and FinTech (Sell My Shares), as well as providing consulting, technical due diligence, solution design and development to businesses by utilising distributed ledger solutions and best of breed blockchain technologies.

Asset Management ('AM')

The AM division was setup in 2018 to give high net worth and institutional investors access to a portfolio of digital assets. DigitalX operates three funds focused on digital assets, the DigitalX Fund, DigitalX BTC Fund, DigitalX Real World Assets Tokenisation Fund ('RWAx') and has incurred upfront costs for the DigitalX spot Bitcoin ETF ('ASX:BTXX') (refer note 32 for subsequent event on launch).

Other

Amounts disclosed as other, primarily relate to consolidated entity-wide functions including governance, finance, legal, risk management, company secretarial and management of the corporate entity. This is not a segment as defined under AASB 8.

Accounting policy for revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Asset management fee revenue

Revenue from contracts with clients is recognised when there is a right to invoice the client at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. This method corresponds directly with the delivery of performance obligations by the consolidated entity to its clients.

Management fees are based on a percentage of the portfolio value of the fund and calculated in accordance with the

Investment Management Agreement or Constitution.

Performance fee arrangements give rise to variable consideration. An estimate of the variable consideration is recorded when it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The consolidated entity’s entitlement to a performance fee for any given performance period is dependent on outperforming certain hurdles.

Licensing revenue

Revenue from licensing is recognised over time as the services provided under licensing contract are provided over time and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the service.

Brokerage fee revenue

Revenue from brokerage is recognised at point time once the sale has been completed.

  • The income tax note for the year ended 30 June 2023 has been revised to more accurately reflect tax losses and other timing differences not recognised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

As at 30 June 2024, the consolidated entity has tax losses available to be applied in the future periods in the Australia and the United States estimated to be $AUD16.5 million (2023: $AUD13 million) and $USD4.8 million (2023: $USD4.8 million) respectivel y. The losses in respect of the consolidated entity’s operations in Hong Kong are immaterial. In addition, the consolidated entity has gross capital losses in Australia estimated at $AUD1.54 million at 30 June 2024 (2023: $AUD1.54 million).

The future rec overy of these losses is subject to the consolidated entity satisfying the requirements imposed by the regulatory taxation authorities and passing the required continuity of ownership and same business test rules at the time the losses are expected to be utilised. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Estimates and judgement – taxation

Income taxes

The consolidated entity operates in a newly emerging industry and the application of taxation laws in relation to the consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity, 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 2024 in relation to these assets. The consolidated entity will continue to assess the performance and may in the future recognise some or all of these assets.

The consolidated entity has take n 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 foreign operations are immaterial.

Investment in Bullion Asset Management Pte Ltd (BAM)

Given the decision of Bullion Asset Management Pte Ltd to wind up its operations on 17 July 2024, the Board have made the decision to apply a fair value adjustment to the valuation of the investment, reducing its value to nil (2023: $240,000).

Investment in Bricklet

During the prior year, the consolidated entity entered into a strategic partnership with Bricklet, a Sydney-based property tech company. The partnership aims to combine technology, expertise, and resources to facilitate home ownership for everyday Australians. Bricklet's blockchain-supported Homeowner Equity Share program enables buyers without a standard 20% home deposit but with sufficient income to purchase residential property. A commitment of up to $500,000 in balance sheet funds was made by DigitalX for Bricklet's property deals as seed capital for the RWAx Fund launch. Three Bricklet property deals were funded during the 2023 financial year, as reflected above.

Investment in DigitalX Funds

The consolidated entity has provided seed capital to the DigitalX Fund (a unit trust), DigitalX BTC Fund (a unit trust) and DigitalX Real World Asset Tokenisation Fund ('RWAx') (a unit trust), for the purpose of investing in and generating returns on digital assets. As noted in note 3, the Board reviews the performance of the funds at fair value based on the reported fund net asset value (NAV) each period. However, as the company also provides fund management services for the funds it is deemed that the consolidated entity meets the definition of control under AASB10: Consolidated Financial Statements and as a result, the financial position and performance of the DigitalX funds have been included in the consolidated entity financial statements. The consolidated entity will continue to assess its position with respect to control of the funds at each reporting period and there have been no changes to the consolidated entity’s assessment for the year ended 30 June 2024.

At 30 June 2024, the company’s holdings were as follows:

  • DigitalX Fund: 53.41% (30 June 2023: 37.06%) - DigitalX BTC Fund: 63.93% (30 June 2023: 60.82%)

  • DigitalX RWAx Fund: 99.01% (30 June 2023: N/A)

Subsequent to period end, the intention is to transfer the Bricklet deposit into the RWAx fund. At the date of this report, the transfer mechanism and date of transfer have been finalised for one of three properties.

Note 13. Digital assets (continued)

Accounting policy for 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. Digital Assets are an emerging technology and asset class, and as such there are no specific accounting standards that cover the treatment, rather digital assets are assessed by applying existing accounting standards in conjunction with guidance released by the accounting standard setting bodies such as the IASB. Management consider it appropriate to group digital assets into a single balance in the Consolidated Financial Statements and providing users with a reconciliation by category in the notes to the Financial Statements. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the consolidated entity 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.

Digital assets – accounted for using intangible asset methodology

The consolidated entity consider that any digital asset that does not fall under the inventory or financial asset methodology and meet the recognition criteria (identifiable, controllable and capable of generation future economic benefits) are considered to be intangible assets.

For digital assets that meet the criteria of AASB138: Intangible Assets , the consolidated entity measures digital assets at its fair value in accordance with the revaluation model (provided there is an active market), with increase in fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to a revaluation reserve, unless it reverses a revaluation deficit of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A revaluation deficit is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognised in the revaluation reserve. Digital assets classified as intangible assets are considered to be indefinite life intangible assets given their nature.

Digital assets are derecognised when the consolidated entity disposes of the asset or when the consolidated entity otherwise loses control and, therefore, access to the economic benefits associated with ownership of the digital asset.

Estimates and 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 consolidated entity has considered its position for the year ending 30 June 2024 and has determined that the consolidated entity’s digital assets are most appropriately classified under t he intangible asset method (the method noted by the IASB in its most recent deliberations).

Management notes that under the method noted above, the treatment continues to be to measure digital assets at fair value (unless otherwise disclosed and provided certain conditions are met) under the respective accounting standards.

Management have also classified Digital assets as current assets to reflect their liquidity, being readily convertible to cash within the normal operating cycle or within 12 months without significant financial penalty. These assets are viewed by management as forming part of the company's treasury function, as they can be sold and converted to cash to facilitate operations, where required. Presenting digital assets as current assets appropriately provides users of the financial statements with a clearer understanding of the consolidated entity's ability to meet its short-term obligations.

Digital assets (including Bitcoin) are 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, Bitgo, Independent Reserve and others in order to provide the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity.

Refer to the table below for the break-down of fair value levels.

Impairment testing

Goodwill acquired through business combinations has arisen entirely due to the acquisition of the Sell My Shares cash generating unit ('CGU').

47 47

DigitalX Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2024

==> picture [28 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 14. Intangibles (continued)

The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity's goodwill has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 1 year projection period approved by management and extrapolated for a further 4 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value.

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive.

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the Sell My Shares CGU:

●13.4% (2023: 14%) pre -tax discount rate;

  • ●9% (2023 : 9%) per annum projected revenue growth rate;

  • ●1.5% ( 2023: 1.5%) perpetual revenue growth rate; and

  • ●8% ( 2023: 10%) per annum increase in net profit.

The discount rate of 13.4% pre- tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the Sell My Shares CGU, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements.

Management believes that the projected 9% revenue growth rate is prudent and well-supported. Actual results have exceeded the prior year's projections, reinforcing confidence in the prior year estimate. While acknowledging that growth rates can fluctuate over time, management has chosen to maintain the prior year's growth projection, reflecting a balanced outlook that accounts for potential variability.

Sensitivity

As disclosed in note 2, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities are as follows:

  • Revenue would need to decrease by more than 85 % for the Sell My Shares CGU before goodwill would need to be

  • impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

  • ●The discount rate would be required to increase by 62% for the Sell My Shares CGU befor e goodwill would need to be

  • impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of Sell My Shares CGU's goodwill is based would not cause the CGU's carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

If there are any negative changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill is based, this would result in an impairment charge for the Sell My Shares CGU's goodwill.

Accounting policy for net assets attributable to unit holders

In accordance with AASB 132 Financial Instruments , specific instruments are categorised as equity in the separate financial statements of a subsidiary or other entity controlled by the consolidated entity. These instruments represent non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements, and they are categorised as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity to the extent that the non-controlling interest holds a preferential claim to the net assets of the subsidiary over shareholders of the parent.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated

as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

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

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2023 Annual Report.

Note 21. Financial instruments and risk management

Financial risk management objectives

The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including but not limited to: - Foreign currency risk;

  • Digital asset price risk;

  • Interest rate risk; - Credit risk; and - Liquidity risk.

The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and liquidity risk.

The capital structure of the consolidated entity consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the compan y, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

The consolidated entity holds the following financial assets and financial liabilities:

Note 21. Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity and the company 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 recognised assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not the consolidated 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 at 30 June 2024, the consolidated entity had exposure to foreign currency risk within its recognised assets and liabilities. The cash and cash equivalents held $USD 6,804 (2023: $USD 7,367) in bank accounts. The consolidated entity has no derivative liabilities in $USD (2023: $nil) and nil $USD in finance liabilities (2023: $USD nil).

Digital asset price risk

The consolidated entity maintains digital assets as a balance sheet asset and manages them on behalf of clients through its funds management business. It is important to note that the price volatility inherent in digital asset markets may impact the consolidated entity's financia l performance.

As a long- term holder of Bitcoin, the consolidated entity has traditionally maintained this position; however, as the digital asset market has matured, the entity has diversified into other digital assets such as Ethereum. During periods of heightened volatility, the consolidated entity will assess its core positions for potential acquisitions or divestments. The funds busin ess conducts monthly reviews of holdings as part of the investment committee process and adheres to exposure limits, ensuring that no single asset constitutes more than 40% of the portfolio, in accordance with the investment memorandum.

Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the consolidated entity deposit funds at both short -term fixed and floating rates of interest. The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and liabilitie s is detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

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

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. Credit risk is managed on a group basis. For banks and financial institutions, the consolidated entity aims to hold deposits with independently rated parties with a rating of ‘A2’ or above based on Moody’ s ratings. From time to time the consolidated entity may hold depos its with unrated institutions (i.e. exchanges) after trading in digital assets. The consolidated entity’s credit risk exposure is set out below. Due to the nature of the customers the consolidated entity engages with ratings are not commonplace. 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 2024, no customers had a published credit rating.

Liquidity risk

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who oversee a liquidity risk management framework for the management of the consolidated entity’s funding and liquidity management requirements.

The consolidated entity 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.

Note 21. Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment model uses forward looking information to recognise expected credit losses - the ‘expected credit losses ('ECL') model’. The application of the impairment model depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The consolidated entity considers a broad range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

• financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Sta ge 1’); and

• financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the r eporting date.

‘12- month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The consolidated entity recognises 12 months expected credit losses for financial assets at FVOCI. As most of these instruments have a high credit rating, the likelihood of default is deemed low. However, at each reporting date the consolida ted entity asse sses whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of the instrument.

In assessing these risks, the consolidated entity relies on readily available information such as the credit ratings issued b y the major credit rating agencies for t he respective asset. The consolidated entity only holds simple financial instruments for which specific credit ratings are usually available. In the unlikely event that there is no or only little information on factors influencing the ratings of the asset available, the consolidated entity would aggregate similar instruments into a portfolio to assess on this basis whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

In addition, the consolidated entity considers other indicators such as adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions that could affect the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligation or unexpected changes in the borrowers operat ing results.

Should any of these indicators imply a significant increase in the instru ment’s credit risk, the consolidated entity recognises for this instrument or class of instruments the lifetime expected credit losses.

Note 22. Fair value measurement

The consolidated entity measures financial instruments and non-financial assets at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

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

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

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the consolidated entity. 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.

56 56

DigitalX Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2024

==> picture [28 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 22. Fair value measurement (continued)

The consolidated entity 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 prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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 2024 all assets carried at fair value are deemed to be level 1 based on observable prices in an active market with the exception of:

• Investment in Bullion Asset Management – note 12

• Investment in Bricklet – note 12

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.

Note 23. Remuneration of auditors

- Accounting policy for share based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

64 64

DigitalX Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2024

==> picture [28 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 30. Share-based payments (continued)

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

For performance rights with non-market conditions, the fair value is measured using the closing share price at grant date.

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors, will ultimately vest.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

DigitalX Limited Consolidated entity disclosure statement As at 30 June 2024

==> picture [28 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Basis of preparation

This consolidated entity disclosure statement (CEDS) has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and includes information for each entity that was part of the consolidated entity as at the end of the financial year in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Determination of tax residency

Section 295 (3A)(vi) of the Corporation Act 2001 defines tax residency as having the meaning in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The determination of tax residency involves judgement as there are different interpretations that could be adopted, and which could give rise to a different conclusion on residency.

In determining tax residency, the consolidated entity has applied the following interpretations: - Australian tax residency: The consolidated entity has applied current legislation and judicial precedent, including having regard to the Tax Commissioner's public guidance in Tax Ruling TR 2018/5 - Foreign tax residency: Where necessary, the consolidated entity has used independent tax advisers in foreign jurisdictions to assist in its determination of tax residency to ensure applicable foreign tax legislation has been complied with (see section 295(3A)(vii) of the Corporations Act 2001).

Partnerships and trusts

Australian tax law generally does not contain corresponding residency tests for partnerships and trusts and these entities are typically taxed on a flow-through basis. Additional disclosures on the tax status of partnerships and trusts have been provided where relevant.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of DigitalX Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of DigitalX Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2024 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

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

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

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

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an 69 Australian company limited by guarantee.

Accounting for Digital Assets

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
DigitalX has holdings in a number of digital assets
currently held as intangible assets disclosed in Note 13
of the financial report.
There is no specific accounting standard that
addresses the accounting treatment for digital assets
and accordingly significant judgement is applied to
evaluate whether these digital assets are accounted
for appropriately.
This was determined to be a key audit matter as it has
required significant judgement in determining the
recognition and presentation of the digital assets and
confirming existence at the reporting date.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited
to:

Obtaining an understanding of the control
environment through which digital assets are
held;

Evaluating management’s recognition and
presentation of the digital assets as
intangible assets against accounting
principles;

Independently confirming the existence of
digital assets held by the custodian;

Assessing control of the digital assets held at
year-end;

Agreeing inputs used to determine the digital
assets fair value to external market
information; and

Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:

  • a) the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and

  • b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and

for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:

  • i) the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

  • ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
