ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

digitalBTC Half Year Results

Emerging digital payments company Digital CC Limited (trading as digitalBTC) (ASX: DCC) (the “Company” or “digitalBTC”) is pleased to announce the results for its half year period ended 31 December 2014. (Unless noted otherwise, all figures are US dollars)

Financial Highlights for the six months ended 31 December 2014:

  • Total revenue of $14.5 million:

  • Liquidity Desk and digitalX Direct sales of $9.9 million

  • Bitcoin transaction verification revenue of $4.6 million

  • EBITDA of $216,934

  • Net increase in cash and cash equivalents held of $251,373, as a result of previous investments in transaction verification capacity, reduced power costs and reduction in bitcoin inventory

  • Underlying Net Loss After Tax of $2.3 million due primarily to non-cash accounting adjustments to the fair value of bitcoin inventory and performance rights and depreciation

Zhenya Tsvetnenko, digitalBTC’s Executive Chairman, commented:

“Our half year has seen significant growth in our Liquidity Desk and digitalX Direct operations, as well as investments made in our early mover position in digital currencies.

The statutory loss recorded for the half has been impacted by necessary accounting adjustments flowing from digital currency price declines. None of these movements impact the core innovation of digital currencies and their potential to rapidly revolutionise the international payments sector.

Our focus remains on the development of our FinTech software to create applications which will allow consumers fast and secure transactions regardless of size and geography. The turnover of our Liquidity Desk and digitalX Direct operations will underpin a number of our initiatives in this area.

The further recognition and uptake of digital currency in the market amongst big financial institutions has been very encouraging and evidences the interest in the underlying technology behind bitcoin.

We are pleased to be a first mover in the space whilst we become a vertically integrated payment technology company.”

Financial Technology Products

Digital CC is continuing the development of consumer applications which will provide consumers access to digital currencies and which are planned to be the Company’s key driver of future growth and value.

digitalX Direct (https://digitalxdirect.com/), a private liquidity platform designed to provide real time liquidity to institutional investors and large commercial operators, launched in the period. The Company has seen significant growth in adoption for the product with revenue from sales of bitcoins of $1.2 million from September to December 2014.

Products under development:

digitalX Mintsy (http://www.mintsy.co/), developed in Joint Venture with leading digital exchange Cryptsy, is set for imminent launch with over 30,000 users pre-enrolled and awaiting the release. digitalX Mintsy is designed for the professional segment of the digital currency market interested in purchasing computing power used to verify digital currency transactions. The Company expects Mintsy’s customers will consist of companies and individuals that require access to the specialised computing power needed to develop novel digital currency applications as well as users wanting to earn financial rewards through a process called “mining”. Cryptsy will actively promote digitalX Mintsy to its customer base of over 250,000 registered users.

digitalX Pocket (https://pocket.digitalx.com/), which received 35,000+ pre enrolments in less than 30 days. digitalX Pocket is a mobile application that makes online transactions simpler and more secure. It will allow users to transfer funds instantly, anywhere in the world at any time eliminating traditional transaction cut off times and costs.

Liquidity Desk Operations

The Liquidity Desk operations have grown significantly with revenue from these operations of $8.7 million for the six month period to 31 December 2014. The Company is pleased with the growth in this segment of the business and is aware of significant opportunities to expand and grow these operations over the next six months.

Transaction Verification (i.e. Bitcoin Mining)

“Bitcoin Mining” refers to the critical process of supplying transaction verification services to the Bitcoin digital currency network – ensuring all transactions are unique and valid.

During the period the Company made a deal with PeerNova Inc. leasing 11% of its total mining capacity over a 12 month period for an upfront payment of $460,000. With this deal, the Company’s initial $4 million cash investment in Bitcoin mining hardware, benefited from further cash flow.

To date the Company has been fortunate to be at the forefront of Bitcoin mining. To maintain profitable operating margins in its mining activities given the recent decrease in the price of bitcoin, the Company has renegotiated power arrangements with Verne Global and reduced other operating costs to maintain competitiveness in a lower bitcoin price environment which currently exists.

Fluctuations in the bitcoin price will influence the profitability of the Company’s ongoing bitcoin mining activities and the value of its bitcoin inventory with falls in the price lowering immediate profitability and rises in price increasing profitability. The Company expects the focus for the remainder of the year to shift towards ventures that are less reliant on bitcoin price.

digitalBTC’s investment into digitalX Mintsy (further detailed above) will focus on the sale of hashing (computer processing resources) which users can buy and utilise to mine cryptocurrencies of their choice including newly invented cryptocurrencies. This is a long term investment which supports an integral part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem - transaction verification. i.e. mining.

The net assets of the consolidated group as at 31 December were $6.9 million which includes $4.9 million of cash and $0.7 million of bitcoin inventory.

Appointment of Independent Non-Executive Director

In the period, Digital CC announced the appointment of Mr Brett Mitchell as an Independent Non-Executive Director as of immediate effect and his involvement with the corporate strategy of the business. Mr Mitchell brings more than 20 years of commercial and corporate governance expertise to the Company, specifically in the management of ASX listed firms. Digital CC will continue to look to improve the mix of skill sets, relevant experience and independence amongst the members of the Board.

Corporate

During the first half period Digital CC appointed BBY Limited as the Company’s Equity Capital Markets Advisor. The firm was appointed to provide digitalBTC with corporate advice, assisting in educating domestic and international investors about both digitalBTC and the wider digital currency industry. The firm also provides regular, independent, institutional grade - research on the Company which can be found at http://digitalbtc.com/analyst reports/

Events Post Period End

Following the period end Digital CC signed a new power contract with leading data centre provider Verne Global to reduce its power costs by approximately 20% across half of the Company’s power commitment. In addition, the Company purchased additional bitcoin mining hardware from Spondoolies Tech to increase its total capacity by approximately 40%.

Outlook

Digital CC will continue to focus on the development and launch of its financial technology products, providing customers the option of using alternative platforms and payment methods. This will include the launch of digitalX Pocket or “wallet” in the second half of the year aimed to facilitate digital and real world purchases using digital currency through both a mobile and web application.

The Company is also looking to take advantage of the significant opportunities to expand the Liquidity Desk and digitalX Direct operations after a good first half.

As the market continues to recognise the underlying technology behind digital payments the Company is well poised with a solid platform for future growth.

Digital CC Limited Directors’ Report

Products under development include:

digitalX Mintsy (http://www.mintsy.co/), developed in Joint Venture with leading digital exchange Cryptsy, is set for imminent launch with over 30,000 users pre-enrolled and awaiting the launch. digitalX Mintsy is designed for the professional segment of the digital currency market interested in purchasing computing power used to verify digital currency transactions. We expect Mintsy’s customers will consist of companies and individuals that require access to the specialised computing power required to develop novel digital currency applications as well as users wanting to earn coin rewards through a process called “mining”. Cryptsy will actively promote digitalX Mintsy to its customer base of over 250,000 registered users.

digitalX Pocket (https://pocket.digitalx.com/), which received approximately 35,000 pre enrolments in less than 30 days. digitalX Pocket is a mobile application that makes online transactions simpler and more secure. It will allow users to transfer funds instantly, anywhere in the world at any time eliminating traditional transaction cut off times and reducing costs.

digitalX Direct (https://digitalxdirect.com/), a private liquidity platform designed to provide real time liquidity to institutional investors and large commercial operators, which has now launched.

Liquidity Desk and digitalX Direct operations

The Liquidity Desk and digitalX Direct operations have grown significantly with bitcoin sales of $12,076,499 for the six month period to 31 December 2014. We are very pleased with the growth in this segment of the business and are aware of significant opportunities to expand and grow these operations over the next six months.

Transaction Verification (Bitcoin Mining)

“Bitcoin Mining” refers to the critical process of supplying transaction verification services to the Bitcoin digital currency network – ensuring all transactions are unique and valid.

To date the Company has been fortunate to be at the forefront of Bitcoin mining. To maintain profitable operating margins in its mining activities given the recent decrease in the price of bitcoin, the Company has been renegotiating power and other operating costs to maintain competitiveness in a lower bitcoin price environment which currently exists.

Fluctuations in the bitcoin price will influence the profitability of the Company’s ongoing bitcoin mining activities and the value of its bitcoin inventory with falls in the price lowering immediate profitability and rises in price increasing profitability. We expect the focus of 2015 to shift towards ventures that are less dependent on the price of bitcoin.

Bitcoin mining is a dynamic process where lower bitcoin prices should eventually lead to lower difficulty as a result of equipment being turned off by miners that cannot sustain their operations. Lower difficulty leads to an increased share of coins mined by the miners who operate their equipment. As with other commodity markets, the price of bitcoin fluctuates, albeit with more volatility.

digitalBTC’s investment into digitalX Mintsy (further detailed above) will focus on the sale of hashing (computer processing resources) which users can buy and utilise to mine cryptocurrencies of their choice including newly invented cryptocurrencies. This is a long term investment which supports an integral part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem - transaction verification. i.e. mining.

The net assets of the consolidated group as at 31 December were $6,869,428 which includes $4,907,896 of cash and $747,037 of bitcoin inventory.

Dividends

No dividends have been paid or declared up to the date of this report. The Directors have not recommended the payment of a dividend in the current financial year.

4

Digital CC Limited Directors’ Report

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company (and the potential creation of a dividend policy for that purpose) will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

Future developments

Digital CC is aiming to complete the development and rollout of digitalX Pocket during the first half of the 2015 calendar year: The digitalX Pocket application or the “wallet” is a proposed consumer product that facilitates both digital and real world purchases using digital currency (such as Bitcoin) through both a mobile and web application.

In addition to internal developments, Digital CC remains open to the acquisition of existing businesses that may be complementary to or may enhance the existing assets and business of Digital CC. To this end, Digital CC continues to consider businesses which may fit within these parameters, and may undertake acquisitions as and when opportunities arise.

Digital CC considers that digital currencies are the future of conducting transactions and purchases digitally, and has adopted the “first mover” strategy with digital currencies. As new and/or alternative digital currencies become available, Digital CC may adapt to integrate these new technologies. However, though Digital CC has interests in other digital currencies and in the long term, other digital currencies may take precedence, its primary focus is Bitcoin.

Further information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated group and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the Directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated group.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Digital CC Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Digital CC Limited, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, and t he condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed statement of cash flows and the condensed statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and, the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 9 to 22.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the halfyear financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Digital CC Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Digital CC Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1(c) of the financial report. The factors described in Note 1(c) indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Digital CC Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

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

Digital CC Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent financial report.

(b) Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except for the revaluation of certain current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The half year financial report is presented in US dollars unless stated otherwise.

On 28 January 2014, Digital CC Holdings Pty Ltd (Digital CC Holdings) was incorporated in Australia as the parent company of the Digital CC group of companies which were predominantly incorporated in January 2014.

On 6 June 2014, Digital CC Limited (Digital CC (formerly Macro Energy Limited)) completed the acquisition of Digital CC Holdings (the Acquisition). The Acquisition was accounted for by analogy to the guidance for reverse acquisitions in AASB 3 Business Combinations because, as a result of the Acquisition, the former shareholders of Digital CC Holdings (the legal subsidiary) obtained accounting control of Digital CC (the legal parent). Accordingly the application of the reverse acquisition guidance in AASB 3 by analogy results in Digital CC, the legal parent, being accounted for as the subsidiary, and Digital CC Holdings, the legal subsidiary, being accounted for as the accounting parent.

The Acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations as Digital CC was deemed for accounting purposes not to be a business as at the time of the acquisition Digital CC was in the process of realising its remaining assets, therefore, the transaction was not a business combination within the scope of AASB 3. Instead the Acquisition was accounted for as a share-based payment transaction using the principles of share based payment transactions in AASB 2, and in particular the guidance in AASB 2 that any difference in the fair value of the shares issued by the accounting acquirer (Digital CC Holdings) and the fair value of the accounting acquiree’s (Digital CC (formerly Macro Energy Limited) identifiable net assets represents a service received by Digital CC Holdings, including payment for a service of an ASX stock exchange listing.

As Digital CC Holdings is considered to be the parent of the Group for accounting purposes the consolidated financial statements represent the continuation of the financial statements of Digital CC Holdings from its incorporation in January 2014 with the exception of the capital structure. The amount recognised as issued equity instruments in these consolidated financial statements represents the issued equity interests of Digital CC adjusted to reflect the equity issued by Digital CC on acquisition.

As Digital CC Holdings was only incorporated in January 2014 no comparative financial information for the income statement is presented in these consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s 2014 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below and new accounting polices discussed below to account for new transactions. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Digital CC Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(c) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The consolidated entity has incurred a net loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 of $2,286,107 and generated net cash inflows from operating and investing activities of $251,373. As at 31 December 2014, the consolidated entity had cash assets of $4,907,896 (30 June 2014: $4,574,582), Bitcoin current assets of $747,037 (30 June 2014: $2,324,437) and had a working capital surplus of $6,258,223 (30 June 2014: $10,627,717).

At the date of this report the consolidated entity’s cash flow forecast indicates that it expects to be able to meet its minimum commitments and working capital requirements for the twelve month period from the date of signing the half-year financial report. Given the volatile nature of the industry in which the consolidated entity operates and the “start-up” nature of a number of businesses in the group, the consolidated entity is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may adversely impact future trading results and cash flows which may in turn result in the consolidated entity requiring additional funding, either through raising additional equity or debt.

The most significant risk and uncertainties are as follows:

Cash flows from the consolidated entity’s transaction verification services termed “Bitcoin mining” are highly dependent on the rate at which the consolidated entity is able generate bitcoins from those activities, as well as the prevailing bitcoin price which is difficult to predict and highly volatile as demonstrated in the below table:


elow table:
Date Bitcoinpriceper Bitfinex(US$)
30 June2013 89
31 December 2013 739
30 June2014 640
31 December 2014 320
27 February2015 237

The fluctuations in the bitcoin price directly influences the profitability of the consolidated entity and the value of bitcoin inventory held, with falls in price lowering profitability and rises in price increasing profitability.

The rate at which the consolidated entity is able to generate bitcoins from its mining activities is influenced by a number of factors including the complexity of the network algorithm (difficulty), the consolidated entity’s computer processing (or ‘hashing’) capacity relative to the total hashing capacity, and technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development in the Bitcoin mining hardware industry.

Increased difficulty and the reduction of the consolidated entity’s relative capacity to the total hashing capacity will result in the consolidated entity earning fewer bitcoins from mining activities; while decreased difficulty and the increase of the consolidated entity’s relative capacity to the total hashing capacity will result in the consolidated entity earning more bitcoins from mining activities.

The consolidated entity is subject to long term (up to 36 months) fixed price contracts for power and hosting of computer hardware which may become onerous in the event the consolidated entity is unable to generate sufficient revenue from Bitcoin mining to cover the fixed cost – refer note 11.

The consolidated entity has entered into new ventures during the period and subsequent to 31 December 2014, including Mintsy, digitalX Pocket and digitalX Direct. The success of these new ventures, and their ability to achieve their budgeted cash flows, is subject to a high level of uncertainty due to the early stage of their development, the nature of the related technology, and the lack of clearly identifiable normal operating cycles.

Due to the significance of the risks and uncertainties referred to above, and the significant uncertainty as to whether the consolidated entity would be able to raise additional funding, in the opinion of the directors material uncertainty exists regarding the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern or pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

15

Digital CC Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

If the consolidated entity is unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than at amounts recorded in the half year financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the half year financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

(d) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and are effective for the current half-year.

(e) New Accounting Policies

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 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 joint venture.

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

The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in 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 to sell) 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.

Leasing

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

The Group as lessor

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

16

Digital CC Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure

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

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

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

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

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

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the

  • development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

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

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

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

Liquidity Desk and digitalX Direct Transactions

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

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

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

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

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment reporting

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

Based on the information used for internal reporting purposes by the chief operating decision maker, being the Board and executive committee which makes strategic decisions, at 31 December 2014 the group operated two reportable segments being the Bitcoin mining and trading operations.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

During the half-year the directors reassessed the probability that the Class A and Class B Performance Rights would vest at 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016 respectively.

On completion of the Acquisition by Digital CC Limited of Digital CC Holdings Pty Ltd on 6 June 2014, the following Performance Rights were issued to the Directors outlined above and other Vendors:

  • 16,633,420 Class A Performance Rights which will vest on 1 July 2015 if the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in the Company in the period from 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2015 is $9,000,000 or greater. The fair value of the performance rights is $0.286 each and was initially accounted for based on a probability of 35% that the performance hurdle is achieved as at 30 June 2014. The Directors have reassessed the probability that the Class A Performance Rights will vest to 0%. Therefore the fair value of the Class A Performance Rights has been determined to be nil; and

  • 8,316,710 Class B Performance Rights which will vest on 1 July 2016 if the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in the Company in the period between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016 is $30,000,000 or greater. The fair value of the performance rights is $0.286 each and was initially accounted for based on a probability of 5% that the performance hurdle is achieved at 30 June 2014. The Directors have reassessed the probability that the Class B Performance Rights will vest to 0%. Therefore the fair value of the Class B Performance Rights has been determined to be nil.

The financial effect of the reassessment is a credit to the income statement in the current half-year of $1,653,782 as the performance rights are not expected to vest.
