Chairperson’s Letter

==> picture [170 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

4 September 2019

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of DTI Group, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the recently announced 5 for 9 non-renounceable entitlement offer for new DTI Group ordinary shares ( New Shares ) to raise approximately $2,990,859 via the issue of approximately 119,634,361 New Shares at an offer price of $0.025 per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Finico Pty Ltd (a major shareholder) and UIL Limited (a major shareholder) ( Underwriters ). The Underwriters (in their own right or via their associated shareholders) are major shareholders of the Company, and have each, in addition to the Underwriting, provided a firm commitment to the Company to subscribe for their respective Entitlement (which combined commitment equates to the issue of approximately 71,289,447 New Shares to raise $1,782,236).

The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will provide the working capital needed to execute contracted work that DTI Group has been awarded (refer to Section 7 for more information).

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the price of $0.025 per New Share. Your Entitlement is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is enclosed with this booklet.

If you take up your Entitlement in full, you can also apply for Additional New Shares under a ‘Top-up’ Facility (refer to Section 1.2 for more information).

The Offer Price represents a discount of 20% to the 15-day volume-weighted average price of Shares for the period up to 20 August 2019 (being the last trading date before the announcement of the Entitlement Offer).

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and Entitlements will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement in full will not receive any value in respect of those Entitlements they do not take up. I encourage you to consider this Entitlement Offer carefully.

Other Information

This Offer Booklet contains important information, including:

  • instructions on how to apply, detailing how to participate in the Entitlement Offer if you choose to do so, and a timetable of key dates

  • instructions on how to take up all or part of your Entitlement.

A personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which details your Entitlement, to be completed in accordance with the instructions contained therein, accompanies this Offer Booklet.

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

1 Description of the Entitlement Offer

1.1 Overview

The Entitlement Offer constitutes an offer to Eligible Shareholders only. Eligible Shareholders who are on DTI Group’s share register on the Record Date are entitled to acquire 5 New Shares for every 9 Shares held, being a total of 119,634,361 New Shares to raise approximately $2,990,859 before costs. Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares. The proceeds of the Entitlements Offer will be applied to business and product development and marketing, and to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet in order to fund future growth. For further details regarding the proposed use of funds following the Entitlement Offer please refer to Section 7.

The Company has received a commitment from UIL to take up its Entitlement, being 32,422,088 New Shares for a total subscription of $810,552 ( UIL Commitment ). The Company has also received a commitment from Finico to take up its entitlement under the Entitlement Offer being 38,867,358 New Shares for a total subscription of $971,684 ( Finico Commitment ). Following the subscription pursuant to the UIL Commitment and the Finico Commitment, the balance of the Entitlement Offer will be 48,344,914 New Shares.

The Company requires funds prior to the close of the Entitlement Offer and on this basis the Underwriters agreed to advance an amount equal to their respective commitments to the Company as interest free loans ( Underwriter Loans ) on or about 19 August 2019. The repayment of the Underwriter Loans will be satisfied by the Company via the issue of 32,422,088 New Shares to UIL and 38,867,358 New Shares to Finico under and in accordance with the Entitlement Offer, effectuating a debt to equity conversion.

The Offer Price represents a discount of 20% to the 15-day volume-weighted average price of Shares for the period up to 19 August 2019 (being the last trading date before the announcement of the Entitlement Offer).

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements will not trade on ASX nor can they be transferred or otherwise disposed of.

An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement accompanies this Offer Booklet. Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement. Eligible Shareholders who do not take up all their Entitlements will have their percentage shareholding in DTI Group diluted.

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in DTI Group involves risks. The key risks identified by DTI Group are summarised in Section 5.

1.2 Issue of additional Shares under the Top-up Facility

Any New Shares not taken up by the closing date may be made available to those Eligible Shareholders who took up their full Entitlement and applied for Additional New Shares under the Top-up Facility. The Additional New Shares applied for under the Top-up Facility cannot exceed the Eligible Shareholders’ original Entitlement.

There is no guarantee that those Shareholders will receive the number of Additional New Shares applied for under the Top-up Facility, or any. The number of Additional New Shares available under the Top-up Facility will not exceed the Shortfall. The Directors reserve the right to allot and issue Additional New Shares under the Top-up Facility at their discretion. Any balance will revert to the Underwriters.

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

2 How to Apply

If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, or you wish to apply for Additional New Shares, you can pay by either of the options detailed in Sections 2.1 and 2.2.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges and agrees that payment for the New Shares pursuant to the UIL Commitment and the Finico Commitment is deemed to be satisfied and offset by the provision of the Underwriter Loans.

2.1

Payment by BPAY®

If you wish to pay by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.

Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form

  • if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which are covered in full by your application monies; and if you do pay for more than your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have applied for as many Additional New Shares as your excess amount will pay for in full (subject to any scale-back determined by DTI Group in its absolute discretion).

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on 25 September 2019. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

If you are paying by BPAY®, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number on the back of your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Customer Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for New Shares (and Additional New Shares) on the Entitlement to which that Customer Reference Number applies.

2.2 Payment by cheque, bank draft or money order

If you wish to pay by cheque, bank draft or money order, you should complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the form and return it accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian currency for the amount of the application monies, payable to “DTI Group Ltd” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:

  • for an amount equal to $0.025 multiplied by the number of New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) that you are applying for

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

9

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

Shareholders who make payment via cheque, bank draft or money order should mail their completed personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with application monies using the reply-paid or self-addressed envelope provided with this Offer Booklet to:

Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 505 Melbourne Vic 3001 Australia

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the application monies. If the amount of your cheque for application monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) as your cleared application monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your application will not be accepted.

2.3 Representations, allotment and refunds

If you take no action, you will not be allocated New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse. Your Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and will not be tradeable or otherwise transferable. Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements they do not take up.

By completing and returning your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with application monies or making a payment by BPAY®, you will be deemed to have represented:

  • that you are an Eligible Shareholder (as defined in Important Information, refer to Section 3)

  • on behalf of each person on whose account you are acting that: (i) you are not in the United States and are neither a US Person nor acting for the account or benefit of a US Person; (ii) you acknowledge that the New Shares (and Additional New Shares) have not been and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdictions in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand and accordingly, the New Shares (and New Additional Shares) may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws; and (iii) you have not and will not send any materials relating to the Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States or that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a US Person.

If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlement before the close of the Entitlement Offer at 5.00pm (AEST) on 25 September 2019, you will be issued your New Shares on 1 October 2019. If you apply for Additional New Shares then, subject to DTI Group's absolute discretion to scale-back your application for Additional New Shares (in whole or part), you will be issued these on 1 October 2019. DTI Group's decision on the number of Additional New Shares to be allocated to you will be final. DTI Group also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or otherwise incorrect or if they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

10

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares and Additional New Shares will be refunded to you as soon as practicable. No interest will be paid to applicants on any application monies received or refunded.

Applicants with queries on how to complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form should contact the Company Secretary, Ian Hobson, on +61 8 9479 1195.

Important Information

This Offer Booklet (including the Chairperson's Letter) and accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form have been prepared by DTI Group. The information in this Offer Booklet is dated 4 September 2019.

This Offer Booklet should be read in conjunction with DTI Group’s other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements to ASX available at www.asx.com.au.

No party other than DTI Group has authorised or caused the issue of the information in this Offer Booklet, or takes any responsibility for, or makes, any statements, representations or undertakings in this Offer Booklet.

This information is important and requires your immediate attention.

You should read the information in this Offer Booklet carefully and in its entirety before deciding whether to invest in New Shares (and Additional New Shares). In particular, you should consider the risk factors outlined in Section 6, any of which could affect the operating and financial performance of DTI Group or the value of an investment in DTI Group.

You should consult your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

3.1

Risk Factors

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware of are set out in Section 5 of this Offer Booklet.

Relevantly, the Company has a “going concern” emphasis of matter in its financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019 ( Annual Financial Report ). Details of the “going concern” emphasis is set out below and in Section 5 of this Offer Booklet.

The Company has recorded a loss after tax of $9.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2019 and had operating cash outflows of $0.96 million. As at period end, the Company’s trade working capital (excluding cash, contract costs, contract liabilities, provisions and borrowings) decreased by $4.7 million to $4.0 million, and its cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.1 million to $2.0 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries ( Group ) has a $3.5 million, multi-option, multi-currency funding package with Bankwest ( Financing Facility ). The Financing Facility covers the Group’s working capital, bonding and overdraft facilities and encompasses sub-limits for certain facilities. The working capital, bonding and overdraft facilities can be drawn in multiple currencies using a variety of instruments. As at 30 June 2019, $885,082 was drawn down as bank guarantee with the remaining $2,614,918 unutilised.

The Group has not complied with a covenant in relation to the Financing Facility. Under the terms of the Financing Facility (amongst other things) the tangible net worth must be greater than or equal to $10,000,000. As at period end the Group’s current tangible net worth is $5,015,706 and is

11

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

therefore not in compliance with the covenant. The Company however notes that Bankwest has in this instance elected to waive the Company’s non-compliance of the Financing Facilities covenants and provided the Company with written confirmation to this effect on 30 August 2019 ( Waiver ).

For further details of these specific risks are set out in Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through capital raising activities.

In addition, the Company generates a significant portion of its revenue from customer contracts for the provision, installation and maintenance of its equipment. DTI is in negotiation with certain third parties in respect of contracts in which it is supplying products to those parties. These negotiations stem from the Company having identified several contracts with less than optimum margins.

These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Offer Booklet.

3.2

Underwriting

The Company has entered into the Underwriting Deeds with the Underwriters, pursuant to which UIL and Finico have each agreed to underwrite up to 50% of the Shortfall, being $604,311 or 24,172,457 New Shares, a combined underwriting of $1,208,623 or 48,344,914 New Shares ( Underwritten Shares ). Pursuant to the Underwriting Deeds, the Underwriters also agreed to advance the Underwriter Loans ($810,552 from UIL and $971,684 from Finico) to the Company on 16 August 2019, the repayment of which will be satisfied and offset by the Company via the issue of 32,422,088 New Shares to UIL and 38,867,358 New Shares to Finico under the Entitlement Offer.

The Company agrees to pay each Underwriter an underwriting fee of 1% of the above underwriting commitment (being an underwriting fee of $6,043 plus GST each), such fee to be paid on the date of allotment of the New Shares. The Company acknowledges that each Underwriter is relying on the application of exception 2 in Listing Rule 10.12 and section 611(10) of the Corporations Act to the Underwriting and covenants to take all necessary action within its control to comply with those exceptions with respect to the Entitlement Offer and the Underwriting, including appointing a nominee for the purpose of section 615 of the Corporations Act to sell rights.

Further, the Company undertakes to issue an Appendix 3B and a cleansing notice under section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act which complies with section 708AA(7) of the Corporations Act and otherwise take such necessary action that the Underwritten Shares are immediately tradeable after their issue.

Customary with these types of arrangements, the Underwriting Deeds include a number of termination events, including but not limited to:

  • the Company does not despatch the Offer Booklet to Shareholders on the Despatch Date or the Offer Booklet or the Entitlement Offer is withdrawn by the Company

  • the Offer Booklet does not contain all the information required by the Corporations Act and/or the Listing Rules or contains a false or misleading statement

  • default or breach by the Company under the Underwriting Deeds of any terms, condition, warranty, representation, covenant or undertaking

  • an event occurs which gives rise to a Material Adverse Effect or any adverse change or any development including a prospective adverse change after the date of the Underwriting

12

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

Deeds in the assets, liabilities, financial position, trading results, profits, forecasts, losses, prospects, business or operations of any Relevant Company

  • the closing share price of the Company’s shares on the ASX is 15% lower than the closing price on the dated of the Underwriting Deed; or

  • any Relevant Company alters its capital structure in any manner not contemplated by the Offer Booklet.

3.3

Eligible Shareholders

The Entitlement Offer in this Offer Booklet contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand and Belgium and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issue) Instrument 2016/84.

  • are not in the United States and are not US Persons or acting for the account or benefit of US Persons; and

  • are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.

Shareholders who do not satisfy the above criteria are Ineligible Shareholders.

Based on publicly available information as at the date of this Offer Booklet, those persons which (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out in the table below:

Offer
Entitlement
Shareholder Shares % (Shares)
Finico Pty Ltd (and Associates)1 69,961,245 32.5 38,867,358
UIL Limited2 58,359,759 27.1 32,422,088
  • 1 The registered holder of Finico’s Shares is Invia Custodian Pty Ltd as trustee for The Morris Family Trust (which holds 69,961,24 Shares). Finico will be subscribing for 38,867,358 New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. Finico’s Associate, Cape Schanck Investments Pty Ltd, holds 700,000 Shares and does not intend to take up its Entitlement of 388,889 New Shares.

In the event all Entitlements are accepted there will be no change to the substantial Shareholders on completion of the Entitlement Offer.

Finico and UIL will, as a result of the Entitlement Offer, increase their relevant interest in the Company. In the unlikely event that no Shareholders other than Finico and UIL take up their Entitlement, Finico’s relevant interest will be 40% upon completion of the Entitlement Offer (on an undiluted basis and assuming Finico must take up in full its commitment under the Underwriting). In the unlikely event that no Shareholders other than UIL and Finico take up their Entitlement, UIL’s

13

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

relevant interest will be 34% upon completion of the Entitlement Offer (on an undiluted basis and assuming UIL takes up its full commitment under the Underwriting).

In this regard, as set out in the Underwriting Deeds, the Company acknowledges that each Underwriter is relying on the application of exception 2 in Listing Rule 10.12 and section 611(10) of the Corporations Act to the Underwriting and covenants to take all necessary action within its control to comply with those exceptions with respect to the Entitlement Offer and the Underwriting, including appointing a nominee for the purpose of section 615 of the Corporations Act to sell rights.

As at the date of this Offer Booklet, Finico’s and UIL’s intention in relation to these matters and their Entitlements are as set out below:

  • In respect of Finico, Invia Custodian Pty Ltd as trustee for The Morris Family Trust intends to accept all of its Entitlements and Cape Schanck Investments Pty Ltd intends to not accept any of its Entitlements.

  • In respect of UIL, JP Morgan Nominees Australia Limited intends to accept all of their Entitlements in relation to the Shares held as nominee for UIL.

The Company advises that present intentions may change as new information becomes available, as circumstances change or in the light of all material information, facts and circumstances necessary to assess the operational, commercial, taxation and financial implications of those decisions at the relevant time. This includes the final subscription reached under the Entitlement Offer and working capital which is then available to the Company at the time.

The dilutionary effect of the Entitlement Offer in the event that Shareholders do not participate in the Entitlement Offer is further described in Section 3.5.

3.5 Effect of the Entitlement Offer

If all Entitlements are accepted by Shareholders to the full extent, then the Entitlement Offer will not result in any change to the control of DTI Group.

If all Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer are not accepted to the full extent, then the shareholding interest of non-participating Shareholders will be diluted.

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 36% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Offer Booklet). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:

Entitlements Holdings if
Holding as under the Entitlement % Post
at Record % at Record Entitlement Offer not Entitlement
Holder Date Date Offer taken Up Offer
Shareholder 1 10,000,000 4.64 5,555,556 10,000,000 2.99
Shareholder 2 5,000,000 2.32 2,777,778 5,000,000 1.49
Shareholder 3 1,500,000 0.70 833,333 1,500,000 0.45
Shareholder 4 400,000 0.19 222,222 400,000 0.12
Shareholder 5 50,000 0.02 27,778 50,000 0.01

Note: The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Deeds. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall

14

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

issued under the Top-up Facility was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Offer Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

3.6

Allocation policy and scale-back

If there are excess oversubscription applications, DTI Group reserves the right to scale back applications for Additional New Shares on an equitable basis and in accordance with a Shortfall allocation policy established by the Company.

In the event of a scale-back, the difference between the application monies received, and the number of Additional New Shares allocated to you multiplied by the Offer Price will be refunded following allotment. No interest will be paid on any application monies received and returned.

3.7 Continuous disclosure

DTI Group is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act. As such, it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations including an obligation under Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to disclose to ASX any information of which it is or becomes aware concerning DTI Group and which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of Shares. All such disclosures are available at www.asx.com.au. You have the opportunity to access any information about DTI Group which has previously been disclosed to ASX, in particular the audited DTI Group annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and the audited half-year report for the period ended 31 December 2018. You should also have regard to any further announcements which may be made by DTI Group to ASX after the date of this Offer Booklet.

3.8 No Entitlements trading

Entitlements are non-renounceable and Entitlements will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable.

3.9 Notice to nominees and custodians

The Entitlement Offer is being made to all Eligible Shareholders. Nominees with registered addresses in the eligible jurisdictions may also participate in the Entitlement Offer, in respect of some or all of the beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Shares, provided that the applicable beneficiary satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Shareholder.

Nominees and custodians should note that the Entitlement Offer is not available to beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Shares who would not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Shareholder.

In particular, a person acting as a nominee for other persons may not take up Entitlements on behalf of or send any documents relating to the Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States.

DTI Group is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or to determine the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. Where any holder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws. DTI Group is not able to advise on foreign laws.

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

3.10 Foreign holder Nominee

The Company will appoint an ASIC approved nominee to act as nominee for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act ( Nominee ).

The Nominee sale procedure will be implemented in accordance with section 615 of the Corporations Act as follows:

The Company will, at the issue price for the New Shares, issue to the Nominee, the New Shares that Ineligible Shareholders would be entitled to if they were eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer ( Nominee Shares ).

The Nominee will then sell the Nominee Shares at a price and otherwise in a manner and at such time as determined by the Nominee in its absolute and sole discretion.

The net proceeds of the sale of the Nominee Shares (after deducting the aggregate subscription price of the Nominee Shares and costs of sale including brokerage and commission), if any, will be distributed to the Ineligible Shareholders for whose benefit the New Shares are sold in proportion to their shareholdings as at the Record Date.

If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company. Accordingly, there is a possibility that Ineligible Shareholders may receive no net proceeds if the subscription price plus costs of the sale of the Nominee Shares are greater than the sale proceeds. The Company and the Nominee will not be held liable for a failure to obtain any net proceeds, or for the sale of any the Nominee Shares at any particular price or the timing of such sale.

3.11 Taxation

5 Key Risks

5.1 Company Specific

(a) Going Concern

The Annual Report included a note on the financial condition of the Company and the possible existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As set out in the Annual Financial Report, the Group recorded a loss after tax of $9.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018: $11.4 million loss) and had operating cash outflows of $0.96 million (2018: $0.31 million). At 30 June 2019, its trade working capital (excluding cash, contract costs, contract liabilities, provisions and borrowings) decreased by $4.7 million to $4.0 million (2018: $8.7 million), and the Group’s cash and cash equivalents decreased from 30 June 2018 by $3.1 million to $2.0 million at 30 June 2019 (2018: $5.1 million).

These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of the following measures undertaken by management:

  • (i) The Group is expected to receive an additional $3.0 million of working capital from capital raising subsequent to year end;

  • (ii) The Group has $4.0 million of working capital as at 30 June 2019 to fund its working capital requirements until the completion of capital raising;

  • (iii) The Group is focused on improving commercial terms to reduce future working capital requirement and profitability; and

  • (iv) The Group has recently commenced a turnaround plan and following execution of this plan, they expect to produce positive cash flow from operations.

The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds that the Group will continue as a going concern. Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business.

(b) Capital Management

In December 2018 and as set out in Section 3.1 of this Offer Booklet, the Group entered into a Financing Facility in order to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital it entered into borrowing.

The terms of the Financing Facility require the Group to comply with specific covenants, including, among others, having a tangible net worth which must be greater than or equal to $10,000,000. The Company notes that its current tangible net worth is $5,015,706 and is therefore not in compliance with the covenant. As noted in Section 3.1 of this Offer Booklet, the Company is in receipt of a Waiver. The Waiver period being up to the time that Bankwest conducts its next review of the Financing Facility and is to occur in September 2019.

21

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

Accordingly, the non-compliance with the Financing Facility covenant indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to ensure the Group has sufficient cash to deal with the consequence of being in breach of the Financing Facility which will ultimately be contingent on the Company either raising additional capital or selling assets sufficient to be in compliance with its terms.

There can be no guarantees that the Group has sufficient funds and is also at risk of market conditions, and if market conditions were to then the Company may not be able to raise the necessary funds and therefore repay the facility, or otherwise refinance. This may affect the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and potential returns to shareholders.

5.2 Failure to retain existing customers or attract new customers

As a usual part of its business, DTI’s customer contracts and projects are subject to tender, variations, additions or reductions. DTI’s ability to renew contracts with existing customers and win new contracts with existing and new customers is fundamental to its business, growth and profitability. DTI could lose one or more key customers or significant contracts or projects due to a range of events. Any loss of key customers, or loss of funding or a reduction in government budget allocations to key customers, significant contracts or projects, may materially and adversely affect DTI’s revenue and financial performance.

5.3

Competition

DTI operates in a competitive industry. DTI competes with some companies that are larger and more financially secure, as well as with some companies that benefit from local experience and relationships with customers. Increased competition could result in price reductions, underutilisation of personnel, reduced operating margins and loss of customers or market share. Any of these occurrences in any region in which DTI may operate could adversely affect its operating and financial performance.

5.4

Software and technology risks

Technology is the key enabler of DTI’s products and services and is dependent on the effective performance and reliability of DTI’s hardware, software and support services. DTI may not be able to provide the required level of support and services to clients, or fail to successfully achieve the required development of its technology and systems to meet clients’ needs, match competitors or meet regulatory requirements, which may, in turn, adversely affect its operations, technology development and could adversely affect its operating and financial performance. Further, DTI’s hardware and software may be exposed to damage, malware or interruption from unforeseen events which may cause the systems to be unavailable from time to time which may in turn affect DTI’s ability to meet customer expectations and deliver consistent, quality services to its clients.

5.5

Technology obsolescence

The technology in the mass transit industry is constantly evolving. There is no guarantee that DTI can keep up with technological developments within the industry and a failure to do so may have a negative effect on the Company’s business and its ability to compete effectively within its target markets. Accordingly, there is a risk that new entrants will develop technology that is superior to DTI’s solutions which could result in DTI’s technology becoming obsolete.

5.6 Failure to monetise return on investment

The technology that DTI has developed for the mass transit industry is complex, industry specific and often involves an extended period of time to achieve a final product and subsequently a return

22

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

on investment for the development. An important part DTI’s business and growth strategy is to continue to make investments in innovation and related product opportunities to improve the technology and product solutions to maintain DTI’s industry leading competitive position.

5.7

Retention of Key Personnel

DTI depends on the talent and experience of its employees. Whilst every effort is made to retain key employees and contractors and to recruit new personnel as the need arises, loss of a number of key personnel may adversely affect DTI’s earnings or growth prospects. In addition, strong demand for skilled personnel may limit DTI’s growth and profitability caused by scarcity of professional personnel or by potential increases in compensation costs associated with attracting or retaining such personnel.

5.8

Existing Contacts for Supply

The Company is a party to various supply contracts with third parties for the supply of its products . DTI will be exposed to, and may be adversely affected by, the key terms of those contracts including the pricing of those contracts.

DTI’s financial performance is dependent on its ability to deliver its contracts and projects in accordance with those contractual obligations. Contractual obligations include pricing and may include set dates for delivery. If the price at which the product is to be delivered is below DTI’s costs, this will negatively impact DTI and may require DTI to seek to re-negotiate those contracts on more favourable terms. There is no certainty that DTI will be in a position to do so, as this is dependent on the ability to vary price in the relevant contract. The failure to do so in those circumstances may result in significant losses to DTI. DTI is presently in discussions with third parties to seek to renegotiate certain of its contracts. In addition to pricing, if delivery is delayed the customer may seek to claim damages from DTI. Disputes which arise in relation to contractual obligations may result in significant losses and acute pressure on DTI’s cash flow.

5.9 Delays with the commencement of new contracts or dependence on third parties

Where DTI wins a contract, commencement of the contract can be delayed past the expected commencement date. DTI is also a party to a number of contracts where the Company’s ability to perform its obligations and commence earning revenue is dependent on third parties performing their own contractual arrangements in a timely manner. DTI may not have any contractual protection against such delays. Any delay in the commencement of a contract may result in a delay in DTI receiving revenue or may cause DTI to incur additional costs, and therefore could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, including its ability to achieve management’s forecasts for the business.

5.10 Working capital requirements

DTI requires capital in order to finance the manufacture and installation of its technology products as well as provide bank guarantees or insurance bonds to support contract arrangements. The Company’s precise capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the DTI’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Entitlement Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If DTI is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its expansion and development programmes as the case may be.

23

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

5.11 Reliance on growth strategy

DTI’s future success relies heavily on the successful implementation of its strategy of being a provider of integrated video surveillance, passenger communication and fleet management solutions for the global mass transit industry. Successful execution of this strategy will require DTI to successfully apply its core competencies in the development or modification of its products and software. No assurance can be given that DTI will be successful in the ongoing implementation of this strategy. DTI’s growth strategy relies heavily on market acceptance of its products and services. There is a risk that market acceptance of DTI’s products and services will not be as high as DTI expects or that market acceptance may take longer than expected to materialise.

5.12 Regional specific risks/unfamiliar markets

DTI operates in markets globally. As the Company continues to expand its presence in new international jurisdictions, DTI remains subject to risks associated with doing business in regions that may have political, legal and economic instability or less sophisticated legal and regulatory systems and frameworks.

5.13 Foreign exchange risk

Some of the components used in the manufacture of DTI’s products are acquired in foreign currencies. Also, some of DTI’s receivables, payables, intercompany transfers and expenses are incurred in foreign currencies and some of DTI’s sales occur in foreign currencies. Adverse movements in exchange rates for either of DTI’s revenue, expenditure, receivables, payables or intercompany transfers, or cash holdings in foreign currency may adversely affect the financial performance of DTI.

5.14 Increased costs risk

DTI’s manufacturing and outsourced manufacturing operations are dependent upon the delivery of materials and components by outside suppliers. While DTI utilise components that are standard items and available from a number of suppliers where possible, others are manufactured to DTI’s specifications. The failure of the Company to source and supply its materials and components at acceptable costs and in the quantities and specifications required by DTI, could have an adverse impact on the profitability of contracts entered into and the sales and financial performance of DTI.

5.15 Regulatory risks

Some aspects of the industry in which DTI operates are impacted by government legislation and regulations in respect to collection of data, privacy, data protection, freedom of information and other matters. The industry may undergo regulatory or legislative change which may create opportunities or adversely impact the activities and operations of DTI.

5.16 Litigation

The Company may be subject to litigation and other claims and disputes in the course of its business, including contractual disputes with suppliers or clients, employment disputes, indemnity claims, and occupational and other claims. There is a risk that such litigation, claims and disputes could materially and adversely affect DTI’s operating and financial performance due to the cost of settling such claims, and affect the Company’s reputation. At the date of this Presentation, DTI is not currently engaged in any litigation.

24

DTI Group Ltd Entitlement Offer

5.17 Force Majeure risks

Events may occur within the markets that DTI operates that could impact upon the Australian or global economies that DTI or its clients operate within. These events could impact the operations of DTI and the price of DTI’s Shares. The events include but are not limited to acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease or other natural or man-made events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the demand for DTI’s products and services and its ability to conduct business. DTI has only a limited ability to insure against some of these risks.

5.18 Concentration of shareholding

At the date of this Presentation, the two Finico and UIL have a combined controlling relevant interest of 59.6% of the DTI Shares on issue. Furthermore, Finico and UIL have agreed to underwrite the Offer. Finico and UIL, if they act together, may have the capacity to control the election of Directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions and the success of a takeover or similar offer for the Shares. The interests of Finico and UIL may differ from the interests of the Company and the interests of Shareholders who purchase New Shares under the Offer.

5.19 Share Price movements

The market value of DTI’s shares quoted on the ASX may go up or down for a variety of reasons, including changes in the pricing of comparable stocks, shifts in demand for listed equities and changes to general economic conditions. The change in the market capitalisation may result in a risk that there will not be an active market for DTI’s Shares and there may be periods where there is little or no liquidity. The deterioration of the market capitalisation may also adversely impact the Company's financial reputation when tendering for major contracts against more financially stable competitors.

5.20 Factors outside DTI’s control

In addition to the specific risks summarised above, a number of factors outside DTI’s control may significantly impact on DTI, its performance and the price of DTI Shares. These factors include:

  • economic conditions in both Australia and internationally

  • relative changes in foreign exchange rates

  • investor sentiment and local and international share market conditions

  • changes to government policy, legislation or regulation

  • changes in fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies

  • the nature of competition in the industries in which DTI operates

  • interest rates and inflation rates

  • the introduction of taxation reform.

5.21 Impact on DTI’s revenue, expenses and cash flows

Investors should recognise that DTI’s revenues, expenses and cash flows could be negatively affected by any of the above factors which, in turn, may affect the price or value of DTI Shares.

5.22 Market fluctuations

The share prices for many companies can be subject to wide fluctuations which, in many cases, may reflect a diverse range of non-specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions, acts of terrorism and the general state of the economy. Such market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of DTI Shares.
