Principal activities
Identitii is an Australian Regulatory Technology (RegTech) company. Our belief is that if financial services businesses and regulators can securely and easily access information about financial transactions, it will dramatically reduce financial crime and increase financial inclusion.
We create the opportunity for the 40,000+ organisations in the global financial industry, to bridge the gap between increasing demands from customers and regulators for more information about financial transactions, and the legacy technology systems that make it hard to identify, collect and securely share that data.
What sets us apart is that our platform overlays the technology systems already in place, so our customers can increase automation, lower risk exposure, reduce the cost of compliance and improve visibility into financial crime compliance data, without the cost and risk associated with replacing legacy technology.

Directors Report
Identitii Limited For the half-year ended 31 December 2020
Growth strategy
In 2020, Identitii announced a revision of our growth strategy. Today we are going to market with two core use cases that support this strategy, both of which are built on our core Overlay+ platform.
Overlay+ Reporting: A software platform that helps automate complete and accurate reporting to AUSTRAC. The platform makes it easy to know with certainty which transactions must be reported and increases automation to reduce operational costs and increase efficiency.
Overlay+ Request: A software platform that enables financial services businesses to securely request and share financial crime compliance information internally and with other organisations, including regulators. It solves a number of problems for financial institutions who are often using unsecure channels like email and fax to share sensitive data and documents. It forms the basis of our engagement with Mastercard and today we are also seeing particular traction in correspondent banking.
How is Overlay+ used in correspondent banking?
Cross-border payments are vital for economic development around the world and are expected to be worth US$16 trillion by 2025. The bulk of these payments flow through correspondent banks, which are banks in one country that are authorised to receive deposits, exchange currency and make payments on behalf of another financial institution in another country.
Since 2011, the number of global banks accessing the global correspondent banking network has shrunk by 22%. The decline is partly due to a lack of trust between banks and the highly manual way financial institutions share information, both of which increase the risk of doing business, the operational burden and the cost of compliance.
Identitii’s Overlay+ Request solution creates a secure network for correspondent banks, their customers and their customers customers to share information. Knowing where money they are moving is going and why, helps reduce the cost of compliance and lowers the risk of doing business, to keep correspondent banking channels open and money moving around the world.
Our growth strategy has five pillars:
-
Continue to service existing clients HSBC, Mastercard and HomeSend and grow these relationships;
-
Leverage AUSTRAC’s public discussion of regulatory non-compliance to drive sales of Overlay+;
-
Introduce Overlay+ Request to large global financial institutions during conversations about Overlay+ Reporting, to accelerate sales;
-
Improve our core platform Overlay+ through ongoing innovation and product updates; and
-
Monetise other technology investments the Company has made over the past five years, which no longer fit into our core RegTech strategy.
Strategic highlights for the six months to 31 December 2020
New customer engagements
Identitii announced customer engagements with Mastercard and HomeSend in H1-FY21, both enabled by the Master Services Agreement (MSA) signed with Mastercard in August 2020. These engagements bring the total aggregate revenue agreed under the Mastercard MSA to $1.9 million.
Mastercard will use Identitii’s Overlay+ platform to enable the secure sharing of information over the Mastercard account-to-account network, to help streamline financial crime compliance in cross-border payments.
HomeSend, a global cross-border payments network that enables financial institutions to transfer money internationally, will use Identitii’s Overlay+ platform to support the delivery of financial crime compliance information.

Directors Report
Identitii Limited For the half-year ended 31 December 2020
Citi Mega FinTech accelerator
Identitii was selected as one of 12 finalists, out of over 3,500 applications, for an accelerator program run by Citi. The finals were held in November 2020 and Identitii was named the winner of the ‘Client Centricity’ category. The program allowed Identitii to increase brand awareness within Citi and to showcase how Overlay+ can solve specific problem statements for Citi’s business.
Identitii wins global RegTech competition
Identitii won the Discover Pitch Perfect competition at Sibos in October 2020. The Company was recognised for how it is helping the world’s largest correspondent banks to simplify financial crime compliance within their network of banking partners.
The competition was designed to help promote innovative FinTech and RegTech companies to more than 22,000 Sibos delegates representing 10,000 institutions from 212 countries and has resulted in multiple requests for more information about Identitii and Overlay+.
X15ventures invests in Identitii subsidiary, Payble
CBA New Digital Businesses Pty Ltd (x15ventures) and Identitii signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Payble, a newly incorporated Identitii subsidiary, on 15 December 2020. Under the terms of the MOU, x15ventures will invest $0.15 million to help complete an existing commercial trial.
Payble was founded by Identitii and Elliott Donazzan, previous Director of Innovation at Identitii and now Founder and CEO of Payble, to monetise previous investments made by Identitii that sit outside the Company’s core RegTech strategy.
Identitii holds 87.5% of the issued capital in Payble and Elliott Donazzan owns the remaining 12.5%. John Rayment and Elliott Donazzan are Founding Directors of Payble.
Funding
During the period Identitii successfully raised a total of $5.9 million with a further $2.0 million raised in January 2021. This provides enough runway for the Company to operate into 2022 and puts it in the best possible position to deliver revenue growth for shareholders in 2021.
Revenue from customers was up 129% over the corresponding period last year (H1-FY20) and the Group remains focused on minimising operating expenses, which were down 27% on the same period last year.
Technology update
Patent protection
On 14 December 2020, Identitii was granted patent approval in the United States. The approval covers Identitii’s global ecosystem for secure sharing of financial transaction information and is a key part of the Company’s Intellectual Property (IP) protection strategy. The approval further increases Identitii’s competitive advantage and defensibility, and potentially generates new revenue streams for the Company.
Identitii has also previously filed for patent protection in several other jurisdictions.
Identitii awarded ISO 27001 Certification
Identitii was awarded ISO 27001 information security certification, following a rigorous information security audit and risk assessment run by external auditors. Certification further validates our new RegTech go-tomarket strategy and increases customer opportunities for Identitii, by demonstrating the Company has protocols in place to offer 100% cloud-based solutions, reducing time and resources required to deliver projects, and expanding the types of information Overlay+ can process.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Identitii Limited For the half-year ended 31 December 2020
1. Reporting entity
Identitii Limited (the Company) is a Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:ID8). The registered office and principal place of business is Level 2, 129 Cathedral Street, Woolloomooloo, NSW 2011.
These consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Identitii Limited as at 31 December 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Identitii Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group.
The Group is a for profit entity and is primarily involved in developing and licensing enterprise software for regulated entities. Its main product Overlay+ is a platform that helps reduce regulatory risk, without replacing technology systems.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 25 February 2021.
2. Basis of preparation
These general purpose consolidated financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 , as appropriate for for-profit orientated entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
These general purpose consolidated financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Group during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business and assumes the Group will have sufficient cash resources to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial report.
The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 reflects a loss after income tax of $2,232,364 whilst the statement of cash flows reflects total cash outflows from operating activities of $1,390,130 and a closing cash balance of $5,020,609.
The directors conclude there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue to be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of signing this financial report and that the preparation of the 31 December 2020 halfyear financial report on a going concern basis is appropriate.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern.
3. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, borrowings and lease liabilities and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
-
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; and
-
Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings).
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by AASB 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in AASB 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Identitii Limited For the half-year ended 31 December 2020
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has 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 reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
4. Key estimates and judgements
Derivative financial liability
Included in Note 10 is funding received in relation to a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) Note. There is significant judgement included in determining whether the convertible note is a hybrid, compound, equity or debt instrument. The directors have exercised their judgement in determining that the funding is a single instrument being a derivative financial liability on the basis that the instrument does not meet the “fixed for fixed” test. Having determined that the instrument is a derivative financial instrument, it is a requirement that the instrument be carried at fair value through profit or loss. To this extent there is significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the determination of the fair value debt instrument. Management has exercised their judgement in determining that the fair value of the derivative financial liability has not changed significantly from its initial value.
5. Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group
-
that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with the Group’s other components), and
-
whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s chief operating decision maker for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance.
The Group currently has one reportable segment, which develops and licenses enterprise software for regulated entities. The revenues and profits generated by the Group’s operating segment and segment assets are summarised below:

6. Revenue
The Group generates revenue primarily from the licensing of enterprise software and the provision of professional and maintenance services to its customers.
i. Performance obligations and revenue recognition policies
Under its contracts, the Group grants a licence to the customer for the use of its software. The contract will specify the term of the licence, the jurisdictions in which the licence may be utilised and protocols to be followed to extend the licence beyond the agreed licence term.
The contracts also facilitate the provision of certain software, training, maintenance, customisation and configuration or other services from the Group in consideration for the payment of fees. The customer is granted, for the term of each contract, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable and royaltyfree licence to use the software in a specific use case. The Group retains all rights, title and interest in the intellectual property of the software.
The Group is currently recognising revenue under these contracts for licence fees, maintenance fees, usage fees and professional services, each regarded as a separate performance obligation. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract and is recognised when the Group transfers control over the product or service to the customer. Charges are determined by a number of factors including transaction volume, customisation requirements, ongoing support and maintenance and new feature releases. Pricing changes for each renewal term are to be mutually agreed in writing.
The following table provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in its contracts with customers including the related revenue recognition policies.
| Product and services |
Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations |
|---|---|
| Licence fees | The contracts require the Group to undertake maintenance and software enhancement activities throughout the licence period that significantly affects the intellectual property (IP) to which the customers have rights. The nature of the Group’s performance obligation in granting a licence is regarded as a right to access the IP and thus the Group recognises licence fee revenue over time. Licence fee revenue is recognised in equal monthly instalments from the date the licence is first transferred and for the term of the contract. The licence fee is a fixed annual fee as specified in the contract. There remains $477,575 in relation to contracted licence fees for which no revenue or deferred revenue has been recognised as the performance obligations have not been met as at 31 December 2020. |

6. Revenue (continued)
| Product and services |
Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations |
|---|---|
| Maintenance fees |
Maintenance (software, equipment and hosted services maintenance) is to be provided to customers on an ongoing basis from the date the licence is first transferred and throughout the term of the contract. The maintenance fee is a fixed annual fee as specified in the contract. Under AASB 15, the performance obligation to provide maintenance services is first met upon transfer of the licence and is ongoing throughout the term of the contract. The total maintenance fee revenue to be billed under the contract is recognised in equal monthly instalments over time from the date the licence is first transferred. There remains $nil in relation to contracted maintenance fees for which no revenue or deferred revenue has been recognised as the performance obligations have not been met as at 31 December 2020. |
| Usage fees | Usage fee revenue is determined by the number of successful transactions (as defined in the contract) and is based on information provided to the Group by the customer. Usage fees are recognised only when the later of the usage occurs and the licence fee obligation has been satisfied. Usage fees are variable fees and may be subject to an annual cap as specified in the contract. The Group recognises usage fee revenue over time based on when the usage occurs. |
| Professional services (including setup, training and other support costs) |
Professional services include setup, training and support costs as well as individual customisation projects that are separate and distinct performance obligations. The Group recognises revenue at a point in time based on time and materials incurred in delivering the product and services to its customers as per the terms and prices specified in the contract. Invoices are generated on confirmation of product and service delivery and revenue is recognised at that point in time. There remains $221,980 in relation to contracted professional services for which no revenue or deferred revenue has been recognised as the performance obligations have not been met as at 31 December 2020. |
Where revenue is billed in advance, a contract liability is recognised and amortised over the period of the invoice. Where revenue is billed in arrears, a contract asset is recognised at the time of revenue recognition and transferred to trade receivables when the invoice is generated.

6. Revenue (continued)
Warranties, returns and refunds
The warranty period will run from the licence start date and over a specified period of time. Under the warranty period the Group undertakes that the product and services supplied are of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose, free from defects in design, operate in accordance with the contract and that appropriate master copies are maintained by the Group.
In the event of an unresolved third party intellectual property rights claim, customers may elect to return all deliverables under the contract and be refunded in full for all charges paid by the customer to date. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. Due to the absence of any third party intellectual property rights claims during the current and prior period, no adjustment has been made to revenue recognised during the period for expected returns.
Customers may terminate or partially terminate the contract by written notice to the Group. Customers shall be entitled to a pro-rata refund of fees paid in advance of the termination date unless termination by the customer is for no reason. Due to the absence of any such written notices to the Group during the current and prior period, no adjustment has been made to revenue recognised during the period for expected refunds on termination.
ii. Disaggregation of revenue
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by nature of product and service and is done so in conjunction with the Group’s reporting segment.

(iii) Equity Incentive Plan (equity settled)
On 10 January 2018 the Group established the Equity Incentive Plan (EIP). This is a long-term plan under which share options or performance rights to subscribe for shares may be offered to eligible employees and consultants as selected by the Directors at their discretion. Currently only share options have been awarded under the EIP.
Under the EIP, one share option entitles the holder to one share in the Company subject to vesting conditions such as the satisfaction of performance hurdles and/or continued employment. The Board have the discretion to settle share options with a cash equivalent payment. Participants in the EIP will not pay any consideration for the grant of the share option unless determined otherwise. Share options will not be listed and may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with unless approved by the Board. If the employee’s employment terminates before the share options have vested, the share option will lapse, unless approved otherwise by the Board. Eligible employees holding a share option pursuant to the EIP have no rights to dividends and are not entitled to vote at shareholder meetings until that share option is vested and, where required, exercised.
The fair value of share options granted have been measured using the Black-Scholes model. A share based payment expense of $90,772 in relation to these options has been recognised in the statement of profit or loss for the period ended 31 December 2020.
The terms and conditions of share options granted under the EIP as at 31 December 2020 are as follows.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF IDENTITII LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half -year financial report of Identitii Limited 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 and consolidated cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
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 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 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 financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: 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 complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Identitii 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.
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 Identitii Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report .
