Review of Operations
The purpose of this review is to set out information that shareholders may require to assess DigitalX Limited’s operations, financial position, business strategies and prospects for future financial years. This information complements and supports the Half year Financial Report presented herein.
Disclosure of Operations
During the period, DigitalX Limited was principally involved in the following activities:
-
a) Development of software applications for global payments and financial technology products operating as AirPocket.
-
b) Bitcoin trading, the operation of a bitcoin sales desk and an application programming interface (“API”) which operates a dynamic platform as DigitalX Direct (together the Liquidity Desk Operations)

Financial Review
| x | US$ |
|---|---|
| Revenue from ordinary activities | 1,137 |
| Loss before interest, tax depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) | 1,590,183 |
| Loss from ordinary activities after tax attributable to members | 1,284,713 |
| Net loss for the period attributable to members | 1,590,182 |
The consolidated loss after tax for the period ended 31 December 2016 was US$1,590,182 (2015: US$883,695). The loss is impacted mainly by the focus of Company resources on development and rollout of consumer remittance product AirPocket, which saw the Group cease its mining operations and wind down its Bitcoin trading operations.
Commentary
The Company ended the half year by finalising mining operations and winding down Bitcoin trading to shift the focus of operations to its first Blockchain based mobile application, AirPocket. The strategy enabled significant cash outflow reduction that would see a leaner operation while AirPocket is being rolled out. The understanding of Blockchain technology gained through the development of these high revenue generating projects has manifested in the development of AirPocket. The partnership with Servicio UniTeller Inc. (“Uniteller”) will see the commercial rollout of AirPocket in the USA and Latin America. DigitalX was recognised for its success during the first half of the year with the award by Deloitte in the Technology Fast 50, as one of the fastest growing technology companies in Australia.
Products under development include:

DigitalX Limited Directors’ Report
Blockchain-based Software Products
AirPocket (http://www.airpocket.com/) is a unique funds and value transfer product. It is designed to provide consumers with the ability to securely and cost-effectively send money in any currency, from anywhere, anytime. The product is a mobile application that will revolutionise the money transfer industry through the use of Blockchain, which is one of the safest and most efficient technologies in the world for electronic payments. AirPocket will provide three services; mobile top-ups, mobile bill-pay and money transfer.
In addition, the Company has lodged global patent for a new security product that provides users of AirPocket to build a secure credit-score through transaction metadata stored on the Blockchain. The Company calls this product ‘AirID’.
Operations Update
AirPocket
DigitalX continued development on the AirPocket product. The Company signed several agreements during the first half of the year as it gained industry recognition as a secure and effective funds transfer solution.
The agreements with the Telecommunication carrier UniTeller and TransferTo provides global coverage of mobile top-ups and low cost marketing and installs for AirPocket. The UniTeller agreement provides expansive financial infrastructure and last-mile coverage for the remittance rollout. Recipients of AirPocket transfers can utilise up to 40,000 various money transfer locations to pick up their cash and for those with bank accounts, receive instant payments to their account at all of Latin America’s major banks. This network affords DigitalX a substantial consumer base in which to market AirPocket.
DigitalX Direct and Liquidity Desk
The trading desk generated revenues of $8m over the half and a net loss of $0.3m. With the focus of the Company towards the development of Blockchain based products, DigitalX wound down its trading operations towards the end of the half as it sought a buyer for this platform. Note that due to Bitcoin trading segment being considered as part of Discontinued Operations, it does not contribute to the Revenue line on the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income but rather appears in Note 9.
The net assets of the Group as at 31 December 2016 were $1,247,944 (2015: $1,667,795) which includes $ 972,498 (2015: $1,042,288) of cash and cash equivalents.
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.
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
With a new Australian based management team, DigitalX successfully raised over $1.8m via a share placement and share purchase plan. The funding supported a major re-brand of the AirPocket application and the engagement of PintaUSA, a leading full-service marketing and distribution Company. Pinta has a depth of experience in producing highly successful US-Latino marketing campaigns for the world’s top brands including Amazon, NFL, Facebook and T-Mobile. Pinta has managed successful campaigns for Transferwise and has a proven track record in driving exponential growth in start-ups. Initial distribution channels will see AirPocket strategically marketed in bodegas through posters and in target communities through radio advertising. In addition, DigitalX is creating a digital marketing channel that the Company believes may lead to revenue opportunities through cross marketing services in financial services.

DigitalX Limited Directors’ Report
In addition to cross-border remittance services, AirPocket and the Blockchain-enhanced transactions API can be utilised in a variety of payments markets. The Company expects to secure licenses for USA based domestic payments in the first half of the 2017.
The AirID service has continued in development and the Company expects to have a consumer facing portal during the June quarter. AirID is an exciting development that will enable DigitalX to deliver on its mission of providing low-cost financial services to its customers and to help immigrants 'build credit'.
Subsequent to the end of the half year and as announced to the ASX on 7 February 2017 an attractive opportunity to monetize the DigitalX Direct platform emerged in working with Blockchain Global Limited. The agreement will see DigitalX receive half of all revenues generated from customers introduced to Blockchain Global and their exchange service ACX.io. The process of customer introductions has begun and some former clients have already begun using the platform.

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.
Independence
In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
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 DigitalX 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 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of $1,590,182 and generated net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,063,422 during the half year ended 31 December 2016. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(c), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

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 2016 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016.
(c) Going Concern
The consolidated entity has incurred a net loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2016 of $1,590,182 (2015: $883,695) and generated net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,063,422 (2015: net cash inflows $1,000,637). As at 31 December 2016, the consolidated entity had cash assets of $972,498 (2015: $1,042,288) and a working capital surplus of $485,724 (2015: $1,449,339).
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 financial report, but this is dependent on the factors as described below.
-
Given the volatile nature of the industry in which the consolidated entity operates and the “start-up” nature of the businesses, the consolidated entity is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may adversely impact future cash flows which may in turn result in the consolidated entity requiring additional funding, either through raising additional equity or debt. The consolidated entity has been successful in raising additional capital post year end as described in Note 14 Post-reporting date events.
-
The consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern may be determined based on the success of its foremost venture, AirPocket. Whether this venture will achieve the budgeted cash flows is subject to a high level of uncertainty due to the early stage of implementation, the requirement for additional capital and operating expenditure to ensure the product is successful, 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, 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.
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 year-end financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the year-end 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
In the half year ended 31 December 2016, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. It has been determined by the Company that none of the new accounting standards adopted during the reporting period, have any impact, material or otherwise, and therefore no change is necessary to Company accounting policies

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 that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
(a) Normal operating cycle
The Group is in its second year of operations in a newly emerging industry and management do not consider that there is currently a clearly identifiable normal operating cycle for a business of this nature. For the purposes of these condensed consolidated financial statements the Group has, therefore, presented a classified condensed statement of financial position presenting current and non-current assets and liabilities assuming a normal operating cycle of 12 months. The Group will continue to reassess whether this assumption remains appropriate at each reporting date.
(b) Capitalisation of development costs
The Group has been engaged in the development of its mobile application remittance software, “AirPocket”. The development activities are part of an internal project, with costs incurred both by an internal software development team and through the outsourcing of development activities to external contractors. The total cost capitalised on the project and carried on the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2016 is US$735,633 (30 June 2016: $194,205). The increase is, in large part, the result of expenditures incurred in previous periods that could not be assessed as meeting the capitalisation criteria listed below due to inherent uncertainties around demonstrating how the intangible asset would generate probable future economic benefits. As a result, a majority of the costs incurred in previous periods were recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The paragraphs below demonstrate how more certainty has been obtained around Airpocket costs meeting the capitalisation criteria and hence costs incurred in the current year were capitalised and held on the Statement of Financial Position.
An intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project shall be recognised if, and only if, an entity can demonstrate all of the following:
-
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
• its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the entity can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;
-
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The Company has evaluated the criteria required to be satisfied for an intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project to be recognised and concluded in respect to AirPocket that all conditions required to recognise an intangible asset generated from development of an internal project have been demonstrated in the period. In particular, the Group has entered into an agreement with Servicio UniTeller Inc.,(UniTeller) a leading international remittance company that processes over 15% of the US remittances to the Latin American Corridor. The agreement allows AirPocket access to Uniteller’s over 40,000 cash out locations worldwide including 17,000 established cash out locations in Mexico including Walmart, large retailers and all of Mexico’s major banks and provides AirPocket with Money Transmitter Licenses across 44 US States.
The Group demonstrates adequate financial resources through anticipated capital raising activity and government funding in lieu of Research and Development costs incurred on Airpocket.

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
9.1 Wind up of Bitcoin mining operations
On the 8 January 2016 the Group and the Bitcoin mining power and hosting provider Verne had actioned an amendment to the master service agreement between the two parties, releasing the Group as at 2 June 2016 from any future financial obligation as was stipulated under the master service agreement.

9.2 Wind up of Bitcoin trading operations
In December 2016, the Group started to wind down its Bitcoin trading operations to concentrate resources on its flagship product AirPocket. Concurrently, active discussions were being held with interested parties to leverage the knowledge, trading platform and customer base of DigitalX Direct.
