ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

31 October 2016

September 2016 Quarterly Report

Highlights

  • DigitalX’s mobile top ups and bill pay and remittance application, AirPocket ended the quarter with over 5000 user installs

  • AirPocket reach extended globally beyond Latin America via partnership with TransferTo for an addressable market of 4.5 billion mobile phone users

  • Appointment of leading industry expert Faisal Khan increases the boards expertise during the roll out of cross border remittance

  • Subsequent to the end of the September quarter, DigitalX announced a strategic partnership with AT&T Mexico and has progressed negotiations with several other top tier counterparties.

DigitalX Limited (ASX: DCC) (the “Company” or “DigitalX”) is pleased provide the following report on activities completed in the quarter ended 30 September 2016.

Quarterly Overview

AirPocket

DigitalX’s money transfer application AirPocket went live during the quarter as a mobile top ups payment application for Telefonica users. The global telecommunications giant Telefónica commenced marketing to their user base with a direct SMS campaign targeting a portion of the 230 million connected Telefonica mobile devices. The message to these users has been further optimised based on initial analytics and insights and will continue to be refined as the campaign is extended to the entire user base in the ramp up towards the holiday trading period.

Social and google adwords campaigns have also been employed to acquire USA based AirPocket installs to build an addressable user base for the upcoming launch of remittance services. The marketing campaign grew installs to over 5000 by quarter end. The Company expects this user base to grow significantly with the recently announced partnership with AT&T Mexico and as further partnerships are secured.

DigitalX Direct and Trading Operations

Trading Operations suffered during the quarter with revenue at $6.09m, down approximately 60% due to a number of factors. Trading volumes are inherently volatile month to month owing to the volatility of Bitcoin however volumes did not recover during the quarter. The hack of two Bitcoin exchanges saw the decision to suspend all post-paid customers and suspend Market Making operations.

The Company’s first Blockchain-based application, DigitalX Direct has significant interest as a pre-paid model and as a software tool for other large trading operators. DigitalX Direct revenues grew to $2.7m, up 14% from the previous quarter despite the adverse factors affecting the Company and the Bitcoin market. The Company is currently reviewing the decision to continue to grow the pre-paid model.

The Bitcoin side of the Business has been invaluable for the Company to gain development expertise in Blockchain-based applications that are truly differentiated from the market. The development of AirPocket applications will see the Company achieve success with its patent pending intellectual property.

Corporate Overview

Summary of Working Capital Position

DigitalX Ltd had total cash and cash equivalents of $891k at quarter end. The cash burn over the quarter was largely attributed to partner integration costs, development of new features in AirPocket, and losses from customers during post paid trading operations. The Company has committed to reducing cash burn with the implementation of a cost reduction program throughout the organization. This will lead to a significant reduction in salaries and a decrease in projected expenses.

Outlook

The last quarter of the calendar year will see DigitalX partnering with a major remittance Company which will enable money transfer services to the US and Latin American corridor. Furthermore, growing interest in mobile bill payments and remittance is leading several groups into discussions with DigitalX to bring AirPocket solutions to market.

DigitalX’s Chief Executive Officer, Alex Karis, commented: “AirPocket is generating significant interest from major telecommunication, bill pay and remittance providers and we are well placed to deliver on these in the short term. With AirPocket’s imminent launch of cross-border money transfer, acquiring new users daily and entering into new partnerships it is an incredibly exciting time for DigitalX.”
