CEO Commentary

DXN has made significant progress with its restructuring and strategy implementation and the benefits began to emerge in 1HFY21. A strong focus on reducing operating expenses, improved gross margin (from 22% to 35%) and increased sales improved EBITDA by 92% compared to 1HFY20. We are seeing positive results with regards to cost containment and improved efficiencies being achieved at DXN’s new manufacturing facility.

Colocation sales in SYD01 or Sydney Data Centre continue to be slow but our sales strategy implemented in September 2020 is showing some promising signs. TAS01 our data Centre in Hobart Tasmania is performing to plan. The DXN Modules manufacturing strategic focus on subsea cables, the resources sector and EDGE data centre opportunities is also starting to deliver results, lifting sales to customers by 65%. New manufacturing sales in the period of $3.6m included contracts secured with Newcrest Mining (c.$1.5m), CPS (c.$300k), Streamline Connect (c.$700k), and a subsea cable landing station contract with APX Partners (c.$1.1m). The pipeline of new business opportunities continues to be strong and this is expected to support sales over the remainder of FY21.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s 2020 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

D) GOING CONCERN

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group incurred a loss of $2,374,916 for the period ended 31 December 2020 (2019: $6,114,915) and operating cash outflows of $1,578,914 (2019: $4,662,039).

The ability of the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Group successfully raising additional share capital, refinancing debt facilities and generating sufficient revenue.

The Group has prepared budgets and cashflow forecasts for the next 12 months from the date of this report which indicate the Group will have a positive cash balance during the period. The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because:

For the period ended 31 December 2020

D) GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

  • the Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required, and the Directors believe that the additional capital required can be raised in the market;

  • the Directors have appointed a corporate advisor to assist with corporate strategy, capital raising and debt financing;

  • the Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating expenditure such as reducing employee and administrative costs, if appropriate funding is unavailable;

  • the Directors have an appropriate plan to contain capital expenditure as the modular nature of the Group’s data centres allows it to expand and incur additional capital expense when current capacity is fully utilised; and

  • the Directors have an appropriate plan to increase revenues through additional modules sales and additional rack and network sales into the Group’s owned data centres.

The accounts have been prepared on the basis that the Group can meet its commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities, and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

In the unlikely event that the aforementioned funding outcomes and cash flow forecasts are not achieved, the Group may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts other than as stated in the financial report.

E) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting Standards, but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements, except for those as described in Note 1(f) below.

F) NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

The Group have adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current financial reporting period.

2. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in order to effectively allocate Group resources and assess performance.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in the capacity of CODM. Two operating segments have been identified:

  • Data Centre Manufacturing

  • Data Centre Operations.

The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue, results and assets by reportable operating segment for the half-years under review:

The revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers. There were no intersegment sales during the half-year. 100% of the Group’s revenue from external customers is recognised over individual contracted time periods.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Segment profit represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of the share of central administration costs including directors’ salaries, finance income, non-operating gains and losses in respect of financial instruments and finance costs, and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the Group’s Managing Director for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

Assets used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual reportable segments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DXN LIMITED Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Moore Australia Audit (WA)

Level 15, Exchange Tower, 2 The Esplanade, Perth, WA 6000 PO Box 5785, St Georges Terrace, WA 6831 T +61 8 9225 5355 F +61 8 9225 6181 www.moore-australia.com.au

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of DXN Limited (the company) and its controlled entities (the consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration.

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 the company 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 2020 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.

Emphasis of Matter – Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern

Without modification to our conclusion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 1(d) “Going Concern” of the financial statements which states that the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Should the Company be unable to achieve the funding outcomes described in Note 1(d) and continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts other than as stated in the financial report.

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 (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) 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 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 Standards on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and 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.

As the auditor of the company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DXNLIMITED (CONTINUED)

==> picture [108 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Auditor’s Responsibility (continued)

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 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 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 the company, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
