4. INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

This Section is a summary only and not intended to provide full information for investors intending to apply for Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This Prospectus should be read and considered in its entirety.

4.1

The Company

DGI Holdings Limited (DGI or the Company) is a public company listed on the official list of the ASX (ASX code: DGI) with a principal focus on the research, development and marketing of innovative miniature projection technologies and products. The Company was incorporated in June 2003 and was admitted to the official list of the ASX on 24 August 2009.

In addition to its principal business activities, the Company has been actively seeking to identify and evaluate new opportunities in related or non-related industries that may increase shareholder value.

On or about 28 November 2013, the Company entered into a heads of agreement (Heads of Agreement) for an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of iCollege Pty Ltd (ACN 160 943 386) (iCollege), an Australian proprietary company (Acquisition). As announced on 23 December 2013, the Company has exercised this option.

iCollege’s key project is a cloud based software platform selling online education courses, which is the subject of a perpetual exclusive licence to iCollege. iCollege operates in the online education market, and additionally owns a number of online domain names.

Accordingly, the General Meeting will seek approval from Shareholders for a change in the nature and scale of the activities of the Company to include online education.

4.2 iCollege – Key Investment Highlights

iCollege is a spin out of a profitable existing online education business using a proven cloud based software platform to deliver self paced career and professional development courses worldwide (Project).

The online education market is becoming one of the faster growing industries in the world. The ability to offer education online is scalable.

iCollege is a business developed by Mr Victor Hawkins, a management consultant and business owner for the past 20 years, and who has spent the past 5 years successfully owning and operating a cloud based software platform selling other online education courses. It is this platform that is the subject of a perpetual exclusive licence to iCollege. The existing business is accredited as a registered training organisation with the Australian Government and is audited regularly.

iCollege has acquired a significant number of purpose driven online domain names, and the highly prized root domain name “icollege”. These domains along with the cloud based online software platform and know-how to develop courses are the key intellectual property assets that will develop a successful business. In addition, an experienced team of developers has been recruited to operate the business.

5

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Mr Hawkins will be appointed Managing Director of the Company to create the online education business initially marketing 21 courses over 12 months that have been hand selected by Mr Hawkins, rebranded and designed based on their popularity worldwide.

4.3

iCollege – Key Risks

Please note, the business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of the Company.

The key risks associated with an investment in the Company are summarised in Section 4.7. Further risks concerning an investment in the Company are set out in Section 7. Investors are advised to consider these risks carefully before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

4.4 The Acquisition

In exchange for the Company acquiring 100% of the issued share capital in iCollege, the Company will issue by way of consideration on a pre-Consolidation basis, the following to the iCollege shareholders and (in proportion to their existing holdings in iCollege):

  • (a) 250,000,000 Shares (Consideration Shares);

  • (b) 125,000,000 Options, issued on the same terms as the existing Options; and

  • (c) 150,000,000 performance shares on the terms set out in section 11.3 (Performance Shares), together with 1 free attaching option for every one Share issued (Performance Options),

(together, the Consideration Securities).

The Consideration Securities will be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules.

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to (amongst other things) the mutual satisfaction or waiver by the parties of the following conditions precedent on or before the date that is 3 months after exercise of the options:

  • (a) DGI obtaining all regulatory and shareholder approvals as required including:

  • (i) to issue the Consideration Securities to the Shareholders to complete the acquisition of 100% of the iCollege Shares;

  • (ii) to undertake a consolidation on a ratio to be determined by DGI but consistent with the ASX Listing Rules;

  • (iii) the change of name of DGI to iCollege Limited; and

  • (iv) to issue shares in DGI under a capital raising in an amount sufficient for DGI to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules;

6

  • (b) DGI completing a financial and legal due diligence on iCollege, and the results of the due diligence being to the satisfaction of DGI. This review has been completed to the satisfaction of the Company; and

  • (c) the Company receiving applications to meet the minimum subscription under the Prospectus of not less than $2,500,000 (this condition will be satisfied upon completion of the Offer).

For further details, refer to the material contract summary of the Heads of Agreement in section 10.1 of this Prospectus.

More detail in respect of iCollege’s assets and business plan is set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus.

4.5 Effect of the Acquisition

The effect of the Acquisition is that the nature and scale of the activities of the Company will change as the Company proposes to focus on development of the cloud based software platform upon completion of the Acquisition. The acquisition of iCollege is an event which requires the Company to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, including seeking Shareholder approval for the acquisition of iCollege, issuing a prospectus and obtaining a sufficient number of Shareholders with the requisite number of Shares in accordance with those rules.

Shareholder approval with respect to all resolutions relating to the Acquisition will be sought at the General Meeting to be held on 14 March 2014.

The effect of the Acquisition is set out in the capital structure table in Section 4.12.

4.6 Business Model, New Business Development and Company Objectives

The Company’s main focus for the period immediately following re-listing will be the development of the current businesses and operations of iCollege.

The Company’s main objectives on completion of the Offer are:

  • reinstating its Shares to trading on the ASX;

  • providing a public listing platform to access capital markets and a broader shareholder base; and

  • completion of all work necessary to progress iCollege’s cloud based software platform.

4.7 Key Risks

The business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of the Company.

The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can effectively be managed or mitigated may be limited.

7

Set out below are specific risks that the Company is exposed to. Further risks associated with an investment in the Company are outlined in Section 7.

Risks relating to the Change in Nature and Scale of Activities

(a) Re-Quotation of Shares on ASX

The acquisition of iCollege constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the official list of ASX.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares should the Company be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

(b) Competition Risk

iCollege will be participating in a highly competitive market, however there are few if any specific competitors who have a dominant market share and dictate the structure or practices in the market.

These competitors include existing online education providers using the name “iCollege” or variations to market online courses, registered training organisations providing accredited and non-accredited courses, education content resellers like SEEK Education, Universities, both public and private, online universities like Open University and professional development providers.

The fact that there are no dominant competitors makes market entry and penetration easier but not without the need to ensure that iCollege can position and differentiate itself to gain market share.

There is no certainty that iCollege will be successful in this market.

Mr Hawkins presently controls an existing company which operates in the on-line education sector, National Education Academy Pty Ltd (NEA). NEA offers courses for marriage celebrancy and counselling and has agreed with iCollege that it will not compete with iCollege or provide any other online courses, except for marriage celebrancy and counselling.

(c)

Technology Risk

The iCollege technology platform has been developed as a proprietary system and all intellectual property rights are licensed by iCollege. Under the license agreement and after performance under that agreement and after 2 years, iCollege can require that all intellectual property be transferred to iCollege at no additional cost.

The platform is suitable for its application and based on the core programming languages and tools used to develop it, should be able to be scaled initially to meet growth in consumer demands.

8

However, with any technology there are security risks and upgrade risks, both of which have been mitigated due to the use of common web based technologies.

However, future demand levels may require improvements and updating of the technology or software architecture to meet scale out demand. The future demand loads for the technology are not as yet quantified.

(d) Dilution Risk

The Company currently has 387,956,790 shares on issue (on a preConsolidation basis and including the Initial Capital Raising Shares) and will issue a further 50,000,000 Options if Resolution 2 is approved. On completion of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to issue the relevant number of Shares, Options and Performance Shares/Options under the Acquisition and issue a minimum of a further 12,500,000 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) as part of the capital raising. On issue of the consideration under the Acquisition and the minimum subscription of the Shares under the Capital Raising (assuming no exercise of Options, or conversion of Performance Shares/Options), the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 47% of the issued capital of the Company, with the Vendors holding 30.29% and the investors under the Capital Raising holding 22.71% of the issued capital of the Company respectively.

On issue of the consideration under the Acquisition and the maximum subscription of the Shares under the Capital Raising, (assuming no exercise of Options, or conversion of Performance Shares/Options), the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 43.08% of the issued capital of the Company, with the Vendors holding 27.76% and the investors under the Capital Raising holding 29.15% of the issued capital of the Company respectively.

If subsequently the performance milestones are met and all the Performance Shares are converted and all the Performance Options/Options exercised (and provided no other Shares are issued or Options exercised), the interests of the existing Shareholders in the Company will reduce to 29.83% on a post-offer basis, assuming minimum subscription under the Capital Raising. The interests of the existing Shareholders in the Company will reduce to 28.21% on a post-offer basis, assuming maximum subscription under the Capital Raising.

(e) Liquidity Risk

On completion of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to issue 250,000,000 Shares, 150,000,000 Performance Shares, 150,000,000 Performance Options, and 125,000,000 Options to the Vendors (on a pre-Consolidation basis). These securities will be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules. Based on the post-offer capital structure (on a pre-Consolidation basis) (and assuming no further Shares are issued or Options exercised), these Shares will equate to approximately 30.29% of the post-Offer issued Share capital. This could be considered an increased liquidity risk as a large portion of issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for a period of time.

9

(f) Contractual Risk

Pursuant to the Heads of Agreement (summarised above) the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of iCollege, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent.

The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the Vendors of their obligations under the Heads of Agreement. If the Vendors or any other counterparty defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.

(g) Future Capital Requirements

Future funding will be required by the Company to develop the Project. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations, which may adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and its performance.

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company and you should refer to the additional risk factors in Section 7 of this Prospectus before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

4.8 The Offer

The Company invites applications for 12,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise a minimum of $2,500,000. Oversubscriptions of up to a further 5,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise up to a further $1,000,000 may be accepted.

Completion of the Offer under this Prospectus is subject to a number of conditions, including:

  • (a) the Company re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules;

  • (b) the Company raising the minimum subscription; and

  • (c) the Company receiving conditional approval for re-quotation of the Company’s Shares on the ASX.

Further details of the outstanding conditions precedent to completion of the Acquisition are set in Section 4.4 and in Section 10.1. If these conditions are not met, the Company will not proceed with the Offer and will repay all application monies received, without interest and in accordance with the Corporations Act.

The Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue.

The key information relating to the Offer and references to further details are set out below.

10

4.9 Purpose of the Offer

The purpose of the Offer is to provide additional funds to enable the Company to:

  • (a) complete the Acquisition of iCollege;

The table above is a statement of current intentions of the Board as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including delays in contract negotiations and permitting) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

In the event the Company raises more than the minimum subscription of $2,500,000 but less that the maximum subscription, the additional funds will be applied towards the expenses of the Offer first and then advertising and course development in proportion to the amount raised. On completion of the Offer, the Board believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to achieve these objectives.

4.12 Capital Structure

The capital structure of the Company following completion of the Offer (assuming full oversubscriptions) is summarised below[1] :

  1. This assumes that the Offer is fully subscribed.

  2. This figure comprises 46,438,750 unlisted Options each exercisable at $0.01 on or before 31 December 2015, 89,318 unlisted Options each exercisable at $0.0927 on or before 8 July 2014, 57,693 unlisted Options each exercisable at $0.27018 on or before 18 March 2014, 53,183 unlisted Options each exercisable at $0.3537 on or before 11 March 2014, 50,000 unlisted Options each exercisable at $2.00 on or before 1 May 2017 and 175,000 unlisted Options each exercisable at $2.00 on or before 28 August 2014.

The Company intends to undertake a non-renounceable entitlement offer of loyalty options within approximately 3 months of its re-instatement to trading on ASX. Holders of Shares at the record date will be entitled to one loyalty option (Loyalty Option) for every three Shares held. The Loyalty Options will be offered at a price to be determined by the Board. The Loyalty Options will allow the holder to exercise the Loyalty Option to buy one new Share in the Company for $0.20 on or before 31 March 2017. The record date will be set and announced by the Directors at the time the Loyalty Option entitlement issue is announced.

4.13 Change in Nature and Scale of Activities

The purchase of iCollege is an event which requires the Company to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, including seeking Shareholder approval for a change in the nature and scale of activities (which will be sought at the General Meeting held on 14 March 2014). This Prospectus is issued to assist the Company to re-comply with these requirements.

The Company’s Shares will remain suspended from Official Quotation and will not be reinstated until the ASX approves the Company’s re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. In the event the Company does not receive conditional approval for re-quotation on the ASX then the Company will not proceed with the Offer and will repay all application monies received.

Note: If the milestones are achieved, the Performance Shares will be issued with 1 Option for every 1 Share converted.

The Company will announce to the ASX details of its top-20 Shareholders (following completion of the Offer) prior to the Shares commencing trading on the ASX.

4.15 Restricted Securities

Subject to the Company re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, certain securities on issue prior to the Offer and certain securities issued as part of the Acquisition will be classified by the ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date of reinstatement to Official Quotation. During the period in which these securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of Shares in a timely manner.

The securities likely to be subject to escrow will be Shares issued under the Initial Capital Raising, the Consideration Shares and the Performance Shares.

The Shares issued under the Initial Capital Raising will be given ‘cash formula’ relief and for unrelated parties are expected to be escrowed for 12 months from the date of issue. For related parties and promoters, these Shares will be escrowed for 24 months from the date of quotation.

The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the securities required to be held in escrow prior to the Shares commencing trading on the ASX.

4.16 Financial Information

Following the change in the nature of its activities, the Company will be focused on developing the Project. Therefore, the Company’s past operational and

14

financial historical performance will not be of significant relevance to future activities.

As a result, the Company is not in a position to disclose any key financial ratios other than its statement of financial position which is included in Section 9 of this Prospectus.

The initial funding for the Company’s future activities will be generated from the offer of Shares pursuant to this Prospectus and existing cash reserves. The Company anticipates raising further funding from equity raisings in the future to develop the Project. The Company may also consider alternative forms of debt or quasi-debt funding if required.

4.17 Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

4.18 Dividend Policy

It is anticipated that significant expenditure will be incurred in the development of the Project. These activities, together with the possible acquisition of interests in other projects, are expected to dominate at least the two year period following the date of this Prospectus. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to declare any dividends during that period.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company 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.

6. COMPANY OVERVIEW UPON COMPLETION OF THE ACQUISITION

6.1 Background of iCollege

iCollege is a business developed by Victor Hawkins, a management consultant and business owner for the past 20 years, and who has spent the past 5 years successfully owning and operating a cloud based software platform selling other online education courses. It is this platform that is the subject of a perpetual exclusive licence to iCollege.

iCollege has acquired a significant number of purpose driven online domain names, and the highly prized root domain name “icollege”. These domains along with the cloud based online software platform and already developed courses are the key intellectual property assets that will develop a successful business. In addition, an experienced team of developers has been recruited to operate the business.

Upon completion of the transaction, Victor will be appointed Managing Director of the Company to create the online education business initially marketing 21 courses over 12 months that have been hand selected by Victor, rebranded and designed based on their popularity worldwide.

6.2 The Business Model

iCollege is the scalable spin out of the technology platform and business processes from profitable, existing online education business using a proven cloud based software platform who will deliver self-paced career and professional development courses worldwide.

iCollege Pty Ltd is a provider of dedicated online educational services targeting the non-formal vocational education training sector of educational consumers. The course content that will be developed by iCollege will be created by qualified and reputable independent educators with the intellectual property rights owned by iCollege.

The decision to offer non-formal courses has a number of advantages such as:

  • Reducing the business overheads related to administration, registration, approval and compliance for courses by an accrediting body; and

  • • Significant customer demand for online non-accredited courses and this appears to be growing in older demographics (see section on Market).

Non formal courses typically cover areas such as:

  • Personal enrichment courses (e.g. personal finance, sports instruction, public speaking);

  • Work-related courses (e.g. manager development, job search training, induction courses);and

  • Bridging courses

By selecting the non-accredited course market, it allows the broad delivery of course content across a range of English speaking countries without having to require accreditation in many different countries.

The online only delivery model for learning content by iCollege is suitable for many types of courses. The online delivery model retains a broad scope of

23

opportunities for the delivery of many course options. iCollege plans to deliver courses in a range of areas including but not limited to:

  • Management;

  • Coaching;

  • Project management;

  • Counselling;

  • Business;

  • Marketing;

  • Leadership;

  • Entrepreneurship;

  • Customer service; and

  • • Sales.

By using online delivery, iCollege has future opportunities to develop increasingly interactive and media rich content for course delivery exploiting improvements in both online media technology and increasing bandwidth availability. Improvements in interactivity and deploying more media rich content is a current trend in the online education (e-learning) market.

iCollege will exploit two channels to market which target individual consumers (B2C Market) and businesses (B2B market). Both of these channels target individuals as the end user / consumer of the educational content but the B2B market places an intermediary in the form of a business with employee training needs between iCollege and the end consumer. The general route to market path can be seen below

==> picture [337 x 270] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

iCollege
B2C B2B
Channel Partner Business Customer
iCollege end user
----- End of picture text -----

The B2C market targets individuals who have a range of needs for which they may seek further education for:

  • Professional development in unregulated industries to increase personal knowledge;

24

  • Personal development to increase or acquire ‘soft’ skills in their current role

  • Create career switching opportunities for the future and

  • Seeking new knowledge or learning opportunities for personal knowledge of other fulfilment.

The B2C market will primarily be targeted through online marketing of their course offering, focusing on online marketing tools to target potential customers. Marketing tools in the online marketing space include search engine marketing and optimisation, app-based advertising, social media marketing and similar tools.

The online marketing efforts may be supplemented through the development of strategic partnerships with resellers of educational courses who provide a range of courses and training sourced from multiple providers. The third party partner model is a hybrid of the B2C and B2B markets by placing an intermediary between iCollege and the student but this is only in relation to the sales process and delivery remains the responsibility of iCollege. The partner/ reseller model primarily targets the consumer market and can potentially extend the reach of iCollege courses. Partner organisations would act as an agent or reseller of the iCollege course content but the delivery of the course would be through the iCollege portal. These partnering opportunities include:

  • Universities, although Australian Universities are not considered a high priority target due to existing relationships with other providers and the more open university in other countries such as the US;

  • Vocational education and training (VET) providers such as TAFE institutes who already provide both accredited and non-accredited courses;

  • Resellers of third party online education services, e.g. Seek who currently offer accredited and non-accredited courses from external providers such as Swinburne and Deakin Universities;

The B2B market will directly target businesses as buyers of iCollege products or as a conduit for the businesses’ employees to access iCollege courses. In targeting these businesses, iCollege can offer direct training opportunities to large businesses with ongoing non-formal education and personal development rather than accredited or mandatory professional development training needs.

As part of the B2B delivery channel, iCollege also has the opportunity to provide ‘White label’ courses for the internal delivery for existing businesses that have a broad range of training requirements. This White Label training includes the customization of a web based portal and the implementation of corporate delivery for the course content and materials to match client branding.

6.3 Revenue Model for iCollege

The iCollege business model allows a number of potential revenue streams from both the B2C and B2B markets: These revenues will be received from:

  • Course fees received directly from end consumers which are paid as a lump sum or over a number of months under a payment plan;

  • Revenues from partner organisations who act a as a reselling sales channel for iCollege courses;

25

  • Per user course fees for of organisations using iCollege services, paid by individual employees;

  • Corporate training plans which charge a single fixed cost per course based on the number of potential users;

  • Direct payment of license fees to iCollege by corporations for course consumption by employees and paid for by the company on behalf of the employees; and

  • Fees for the customisation to create or adapt courses for specific end user businesses with large training needs, including development of customized interfaces and portals.

iCollege has chosen not to pursue a strategy to sub-license the technology for other online education providers as it is not considered a viable route to market. This is due to the issues that the revenues obtained from sub-licensing of the technology would not be worth the enabling of a new market competitor. As the iCollege technology is able to provide significant technical capacity and business efficiencies that provide cost advantages, providing this technology to other providers could have a long term impact on the iCollege business.

Furthermore, there are a number of existing businesses who are targeting provision of learning management and online course delivery technologies to organisations who have courses but do not have the appropriate technology to deliver them.

6.4 The iCollege Technology Platform

The iCollege technology platform is an online cloud based system that was created and designed by Mr Hawkins based on over 5 years of extensive research and development. The iCollege technology uses a combination of industry leading web enabled technologies in a unique way to both manage the business and deliver course content on demand via an integrated learning management system (LMS). This is different from other commonly used LMS platforms which do not integrate the business and course administration in a single package with the LMS.

The platform operates as a web-enabled cloud database containing all of the business information, administration and course content. The programming languages and architecture used for the iCollege platform is based on a system using industry standard programming languages and frameworks into a single integrated web database and content delivery system.

The programming frameworks and architecture are in common use in the industry and, for example, are used in a range of high throughput applications including Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia and others. The core technology and programming language used in the iCollege system is designed to be scaled up to meet high demand applications. The limit of these technologies comes from the architecture of the database or the physical limitations of the servers rather than the languages themselves.

The iCollege platform allows access through an encrypted, secure access portal, with all portal users; Administrators, Management, Trainers and Students, using the same portal. Control of the information that is allowed to be viewed by an individual is based on the access level granted to that user by their user type. The access to different levels of information can be seen in the diagram below.

A view of the portal access for an Administrator can be seen below.

==> picture [383 x 144] intentionally omitted <==

The platform uses an automated function for emailing of questions from students and the trainers responses. The platform uses system generated reporting on markings completed in date ranges on courses, which assists the Administrator of the business in managing the cash flow.

The iCollege technology currently uses a third party merchant service to operate the payment gateway for processing payments from students. As such the responsibility for the security of payments rests with the 3[rd] party payment provider. This allows iCollege to receive payments, while not having access to or retaining personal financial details (e.g. credit card information), reducing the risk of the loss of this information, which can cause embarrassment and lack of trust in the organisation leading to reputational damage.

The technology platform has been developed with the intention of providing opportunities for the system to scale up to allow for the simple addition of new courses and to cope with high levels of students being online at the same time.

27

Also, access from new countries / markets can be added to the platform at minimal cost and very quickly to facilitate rapid uptake of iCollege’s course offerings.

The platform also offers various growth opportunities including the future development of mobile apps and online education for companies that presently run off line courses.

The iCollege system is highly automated to maximise the potential in leveraging the business process and course delivery. Students can automatically sign on for a course without human interventions, selecting upfront or payment plans as can be afforded. The Trainers have a macro and micro view of the courses and the student’s workflow. The system generates notification emails automatically when students complete work and when marked by a trainer, which makes the system very efficient. Internal management of the processes are automated and can be accessed by iCollege staff anywhere through the cloud based portal.

iCollege’s bespoke system manages the delivery of online training in its entirety. A course is added by simply creating a website from their standard proforma and adding the appropriate course material. The system automatically manages the courses by sending emails and letters to the student and has date triggers for the delivery of information.

Other advantages of the iCollege platform include:

  • the dashboard provides details of all 4 levels of the stakeholders;

  • the main KPIs, progress and information on each stakeholder or client student is easily viewed on the administrative and management dashboard; and

  • the platform can be executed by a small number of employees due to its functionality.

6.5 Intellectual Property

iCollege has a unique set of intellectual property which will support its business and will be developing other unique intellectual property assets in the course of its business. To date iCollege has acquired a significant number of purpose driven online domain names, and the highly prized root domain name “icollege”.

These domains, together with the licensing of a unique cloud based online software platform and existing online course content are some of the intellectual property assets that will assist iCollege in developing a successful business.

In the course of its business, iCollege will develop further intellectual property assets including but not limited to:

  • Additional course contents and materials;

  • Customer databases and demographic information on online education consumers;

  • Business processes and improvements thereto for the delivery of iCollege services and content; and

  • Improvements to the cloud based online system and platform.

28

6.6 The Online Education Market

Background

iCollege’s business has a primary focus on the delivery of non-formal education to consumers who are seeking personal and work related training and education via an online, consume on demand delivery model. The non-formal education and training sector has been targeted as it is seen as the sector with the best scalable opportunity for course delivery at a global scale. iCollege is targeting opportunities in this sector initially in Australia and globally in 40 English speaking countries in the longer term as the use of an online delivery mechanism allows for globalisation of education delivery, separating the old model of colocations of students and classrooms.

Education market & market segments

Globally the education market can be broken down into the following major segments based on the type and level of education that is being delivered:

  • University - Graduate and post-graduate degrees;

  • Vocational & education training (VET) – Accredited courses e.g. Certificate I-IV;

  • Non-formal education (vocational & non-vocational);

  • High School;

  • Primary School; and

  • Pre-Primary.

The formal education market is the single largest sector for education and includes the school (compulsory), VET and university sectors covering all education which results in attainment of completion (school) and formally recognised qualifications (VET and university). The majority of education received by participants in the formal education sector is delivered via traditional class based learning through established ‘bricks and mortar’ schools and accredited educational institutions. However, the delivery of learning content with an online component is increasing in this sector to meet changing demands for time flexibility required by students as well as to reduce costs associated with course delivery and administration, particularly in the University and VET sectors.

The formal education sector is generally highly regulated in each country by the relevant government agencies and educations institutions are public rather than privately owned. However, in many countries, the educational market is increasingly becoming deregulated to allow the entry of private education providers but this comes at a high cost in achieving accreditation and maintaining compliance with local regulation. This makes market entry into this sector expensive and increases difficulty in scaling the business to operate across multiple jurisdictions each one with different regulations to comply with.

Non-formal education, on the other hand does not provide formal, accredited qualifications but are often those involved with consumers who are seeking education which is related to:

  • Personal enrichment courses (e.g. personal finance, sports instruction, public speaking etc.);

29

  • Work-related courses (e.g. manager development, job search training, induction courses);and

  • Bridging courses.

This market is serviced by a range of providers, both public and private, who provide these services on a fee paying basis. Public providers of non-formal education are primarily VET colleges who include non-formal education as part of their range of offerings. Private education providers who are part of this segment are often registered training organisations (RTO) who provide courses with formal qualifications as well as offering non-formal education and training.

In comparing the different education segments we can see that there are differences between the key characteristics of each of the market segments. This table highlights the core differences between segments in the education market.

The non-formal education segment primarily deals with consumers who are involved in education and training related to employment (work related) or are undertaking education for personal interest.

In Australia, the predominant circumstance in which non-formal education is undertaken is in the context of work related training, particularly in age brackets (25-54 years) where formal education from school and university has often ceased. This is shown in the figure below.

The online educati o n market is still in a relatively early sta g e and in showing significant growth b o th in Australia in a global market. Historic a lly, online training and education has been focussed around the IT sector but this has begun to change in recent y ears with both non-formal and formal education offerings coming on to the m a rket.

In Australia, non-for m al education and training has only rec e ntly begun to be recorded by the A u stralian Bureau of Statistics, with the first release of data in April 2013. From thi s information we know that Australia had 5.8 million people over the age of 15 engaged in work related and personal i n terest, non-formal training during 201 2 . Of this group 4.6 million were involv e d in work related training, and just u n der 600,000 courses, about 12.5%, of whi c h were delivered via online learning.

It is estimated that t h e current value of online education in th e Australian market was $5.9 billion in t h e 2013 financial year. Over the period o f 2012 to 2013 the online education market showed strong growth which is exp e cted to continue into the future.

The non-formal edu c ation segment is currently the dominant r evenue generator within the online ed u cator sector constituting over 50% of rev e nues generated in Australia in 2013-14. This estimates the value of the online no n -formal education segment of the mar k et at approximately $3.3 billion for this pe r iod.

Global online education market

Assessments of the value of the global online learning market vary depending on the source of the information, as does the rate of potential growth of the segment. The global online education market (for both English speaking and non-speaking regions) across all market segments was valued at between $30 to $50 billion in 2010 growing to $90 billion in 2013. The online education market has the potential for significant growth over the near term future with expansion of online offerings by existing education and training providers, in both the formal and non-formal education segments, as well as new entrants coming into the market.

Online education delivery removes physical limitations of classroom location and having to have students in reasonably close proximity to where the education provider is located. This allows the possibility of international delivery of courses and services; however, technical practicalities and student preferences generally mean that the current level of education providers operating in this manner is negligible. However, if these technical and regulatory barriers can be overcome or avoided, then strategies can be developed for international offerings.

The corporate training sector is one of the largest potential global markets for online training with rapid growth of online delivery as a channel for course delivery. It has been estimated that in the US alone over 35% of corporate training courses are delivered online against a global average of 20%. Currently the US and Europe are the largest consumers of online education content but the Asia-Pacific market is undergoing rapid growth in the adoption of online education.

With the increasing availability of internet connectivity on a global basis, including the increasing adoption of internet-enabled mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets the potential channels for online learning and education is growing. The disconnection of internet connection from landline locations such as home and work increases the opportunities for the consumption of education as and where desired by the consumer at their own convenience.

Market and consumer drivers

The demand for growth in non-formal education is driven by a range of factors:

  • online education is one of the fastest growing industries across all education segments;

  • demand from customers wanting the flexibility of online training for ease of consumption; and

  • increases in Generation X and Y seeking or being required to up-skill, reskill and pursue personal interests in a more structured and organised manner to compete in an increasingly demanding employment market.

The reason why consumers undertake non-formal learning vary based on whether the motivation is personal or a requirement from work related training requirement. The figures below provide some data on the Australian market on the main motivations for people undertaking work related and personal interest non-formal training.

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to our business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

7.2 Company Specific

Risks relating to the Change in Nature and Scale of Activities

(a) Re-Quotation of Shares on ASX

The acquisition of iCollege constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the official list of ASX.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares should the Company be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

(b) Competition Risk

iCollege will be participating in a highly competitive market, however there are few if any specific competitors who have a dominant market share and dictate the structure or practices in the market.

These competitors include existing online education providers using the name “iCollege” or variations to market online courses, registered training organisations providing accredited and non-accredited courses, education content resellers like SEEK Education, Universities, both public and private, online universities like Open University and professional development providers.

The fact that there are no dominant competitors makes market entry and penetration easier but not without the need to ensure that iCollege can position and differentiate itself to gain market share.

There is no certainty that iCollege will be successful in this market.

34

(c) Technology Risk

The iCollege technology platform has been developed as a proprietary system and all intellectual property rights are licensed by iCollege. The platform is suitable for its application and based on the core programming languages and tools used to develop it, should be able to be scaled initially to meet growth in consumer demands.

However, with any technology there are security risks and upgrade risks, both of which have been mitigated due to the use of common web based technologies.

However, future demand levels may require improvements and updating of the technology or software architecture to meet scale out demand. The future demand loads for the technology are not as yet quantified.

(d)

Dilution Risk

The Company currently has 387,956,790 shares on issue (on a preConsolidation basis and including the Initial Capital Raising Shares) and will issue a further 50,000,000 Options if Resolution 2 is approved. On completion of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to issue the relevant number of Shares, Options and Performance Shares/Options under the Acquisition and issue a minimum of a further 12,500,000 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) as part of the capital raising. On issue of the consideration under the Acquisition and the minimum subscription of the Shares under the Capital Raising (assuming no exercise of Options, or conversion of Performance Shares/Options), the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 47% of the issued capital of the Company, with the Vendors holding 30.29% and the investors under the Capital Raising holding 22.71% of the issued capital of the Company respectively.

On issue of the consideration under the Acquisition and the maximum subscription of the Shares under the Capital Raising, (assuming no exercise of Options, or conversion of Performance Shares/Options), the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 43.08% of the issued capital of the Company, with the Vendors holding 27.76% and the investors under the Capital Raising holding 29.15% of the issued capital of the Company respectively.

If subsequently the performance milestones are met and all the Performance Shares are converted and all the Performance Options/Options exercised (and provided no other Shares are issued or Options exercised), the interests of the existing Shareholders in the Company will reduce to 29.83% on a post-offer basis, assuming minimum subscription under the Capital Raising. The interests of the existing Shareholders in the Company will reduce to 28.21% on a post-offer basis, assuming maximum subscription under the Capital Raising.

(e) Liquidity Risk

On completion of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to issue 250,000,000 Shares, 150,000,000 Performance Shares, 150,000,000 Performance Options, and 125,000,000 Options to the Vendors (on a pre-Consolidation basis). These securities will be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules. Based

35

on the post-offer capital structure (on a pre-Consolidation basis) (and assuming no further Shares are issued or Options exercised), these Shares will equate to approximately 30.29% of the post-Offer issued Share capital. This could be considered an increased liquidity risk as a large portion of issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for a period of time.

(f) Contractual Risk

Pursuant to the Heads of Agreement (summarised above) the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of iCollege, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent.

The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the Vendors of their obligations under the Heads of Agreement. If the Vendors or any other counterparty defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.

(g) Competition Risk

The Company’s current and future potential competitors include companies with substantially greater resources to develop similar and competing products. There is no assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing services and products that have higher customer appeal.

To keep ahead of competitors, the Company aims to adopt an aggressive business pathway over the next two years, maintaining high standards and the ongoing input from the new Board and management team to identify new business opportunities will be paramount to success.

There can be no guarantee that revenue growth will be stimulated or that the Company will operate profitably in the short term, or at all.

(h) Contractors and Service Providers

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure, default, insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity. Such events could adversely impact on the Company’s operations.

7.3 General Risks

(a) Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s development and future activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

(b) Security Investments

Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market have

36

experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares regardless of the Company’s performance.

(c) Management of Growth

There is a risk that management of the Company will not be able to implement the Company’s growth strategy after completion of the Acquisition. The capacity of the new management to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of the Company may affect the Company’s financial performance.

(d) Market risk

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism and other hostilities.

(e) Potential Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies or projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.

(f) Reliance on Key Personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

(g) Future Capital Requirements

Future funding will be required by the Company to develop the Project. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations, which may adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and its performance.

37

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

(h) Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s securities.

8. BOARD, MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

8.1 Directors, Proposed Directors and Key Personnel

  • Biographies for the Directors and Proposed Directors are set out in Section 4.19 above.

8.2 The ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (2nd Edition) as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (Recommendations).

In light of the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the current board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

The Company’s main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are outlined below and the Company’s full Corporate Governance Plan is available from the Company's website at http://www.dgiholdings.com.au and upon request from the Company Secretary on +61 8 9321 4000.

Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

  • (a) maintain and increase Shareholder value;

  • (b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and activities; and

  • (c) ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:

  • (a) developing initiatives for profit and asset growth;

  • (b) reviewing the corporate, commercial and financial performance of the Company on a regular basis;

  • (c) acting on behalf of, and being accountable to, the Shareholders; and

  • (d) identifying business risks and implementing actions to manage those risks and corporate systems to assure quality.

39

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ participation in the Board’s discussions on a fully-informed basis.

Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meetings.

However, subject thereto, the Company is committed to the following principles:

  • (a) the Board is to comprise persons with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the Company and its business; and

  • (b) the principal criterion for the appointment of new directors is their ability to add value to the Company and its business.

No formal nomination committee or procedures have been adopted for the identification, appointment and review of the Board’s membership, but an informal assessment process, facilitated in consultation with the Company’s professional advisors, has been committed to by the Board.

Identification and management of risk

The Board’s collective experience will enable accurate identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company’s business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

Ethical standards

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chairman’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company’s expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

Remuneration arrangements

The remuneration of an executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $260,000 per annum.

In addition, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, non-cash performance incentives such as options) as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.

40

Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board will review and approve the remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders having consideration to the amount considered to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors’ time, commitment and responsibility. The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

Trading policy

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (i.e. Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the managing director). The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chair (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.

External audit

The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

Audit committee

The Company will not have a separate audit committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to, monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial reporting and compliance, the integrity of the financial reporting of the Company, the Company’s internal financial control system and risk management systems and the external audit function.

Diversity policy

The Board has adopted a diversity policy which provides a framework for the Company to achieve, amongst other things, a diverse and skilled workforce, a workplace culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of all staff, improved employment and career development opportunities for women and a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

41

8.3 Departures from Recommendations

efficiencies or enhancements would be achieved by the creation of a separate
nomination committee.
However, it is noted the Board has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter.
Where necessary, the Board seeks advice of external advisers in connection with
the suitability of applicants for Board membership.
Given the current of the Company, Board and level of activity of the Company,

The Company’s Corporate Governance Policies include a Diversity Policy. The
Diversity Policy addresses equal opportunities in the hiring, training and career
advancement of directors, officers and employees. The Diversity Policy provides a
framework for establishing measurable objectives to achieve the aims of its
Diversity Policy, with particular focus on gender diversity within the Company and
for the Board to assess annually both the objectives and the progress in achieving
them.
The Company is committed to ensuring a diverse mix of skills and talent exists

COMMENT The Company’s Corporate Governance Policies, which includes the Code of
Conduct and Diversity Policy, are posted on the Company’s website.
The Board considers the Company is not currently of a size, or its financial affairs of
such complexity, to justify the establishment of an audit committee. The Board, as a
whole, meeting for that special purpose currently serves as the audit committee.
However, it is noted the Board has adopted an Audit and Risk Committee Charter.
There is currently no formal audit committee (see as above). The Board carries out
the duties of the audit committee.
The Board does not consider that the Company is of sufficient size to justify the
appointment of additional directors for the sole purpose of satisfying this
recommendation as it would be cost prohibitive and counterproductive.
However, it is noted the Board has adopted an Audit and Risk Committee Charter.
In the absence of an audit committee, the Board sets aside time to deal with issues
and responsibilities usually delegated to the audit committee to ensure the integrity
of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the external
auditor. The full Board of the Company, is also responsible for establishing policies
on risk oversight and management.
The Company does not have an audit committee. The Board carries out the duties
of the audit committee.
The Company will explain any departures from the Corporate Governance
Recommendations 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (if any) in its future annual reports.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Policies include a Continuous Disclosure
Policy, which is designed to ensure the compliance with the disclosure obligations
under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules and to ensure accountability
at a senior executive level for compliance and factual presentation of the
Company’s financial position.
The Company Secretary is responsible for communications with the ASX. This role
includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure
PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Safeguard integrity in financial reporting The board should establish an audit committee. The audit committee should be structured so that it:

consists only of non-executive directors

DGI Holdings Ltd Investigating Accountant’s Report

1DGIH01

20 February 2014

The Directors DGI Holdings Ltd C/- Regency Partners PO Box 2138 SUBIACO WA 6904

Dear Sirs

==> picture [165 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [96 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [56 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

This report has been prepared at the request of the Directors of DGI Holdings Ltd (“DGI” or “the Company”), for inclusion in a prospectus to be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (“ASIC”) on or around 21 February 2014 (“Prospectus”), relating to the proposed issue of a minimum of 12,500,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of 20 cents each to raise a total of at least $2,500,000 and a maximum of 17,500,000 ordinary shares to raise up to $3,500,000.

The offer is not underwritten and the minimum subscription level is $2,500,000.

==> picture [60 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The report has been prepared to provide investors with information on historical results and the financial position of DGI, and to provide investors with a pro forma Statement of Financial Position of DGI as at 31 December 2013 adjusted to include funds raised by the Prospectus and the completion of the exercise of the option to acquire online education company iCollege Pty Ltd (“the acquisition”) and other transactions as referred to in the appendices to this report.

This report does not address the rights attaching to the Shares to be issued in accordance with the Prospectus, the risks associated with the investment, nor form the basis of an Expert’s opinion with respect to a valuation of the Company or a valuation of the share issue price of 20 cents per share to the public.

Bentleys has not been requested to consider the prospects for DGI nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder and accordingly, has not done so, nor purports to do so. Bentleys accordingly takes no responsibility for those matters or for any matter or omission in the Prospectus, other than responsibility for this report. Risk factors are set out in Section 7 of the Prospectus.

DGI Holdings Ltd Investigating Accountant’s Report

==> picture [92 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [57 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

DGI was formed as a public company limited by shares on 6 June 2003 and listed on the ASX on 24 August 2009. The Company’s principal activity is the research, development and marketing of innovative miniature projection technologies and products. For further details of the Company and the proposed acquisition refer to Section 4 of this Prospectus.

==> picture [75 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Bentleys has been requested to:

  • (a) report whether anything has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that the historical financial information disclosed in the appendices to this report is not fairly presented in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by DGI, and

  • (b) report whether anything has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that the pro forma financial information disclosed in the appendices to this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the basis of preparation and assumptions set out therein and with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by DGI.

DGI has prepared, and is responsible for the historical and pro forma financial information included in the appendices to this report.

==> picture [35 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [42 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Bentleys has not audited the financial statements of DGI as at 31 December 2013. We have conducted our review of the historical financial information in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard ASRE 2405 “Review of Historical Financial Information Other Than a Financial Report” to 31 December 2013. We made such enquiries and performed such procedures as we, in our professional judgment, considered reasonable in the circumstances, including:

  • (i) enquiry of directors, management and others;

  • (ii) analytical procedures on the historical information;

  • (iii) a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents; and

  • (iv) comparison of consistency in application of the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by DGI.

The review procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit examination conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Having regard to the nature of the review, which provides less assurance than an audit, and to the nature of the historical and pro forma financial information, this report does not express an audit opinion on the historical and pro forma financial information included in the appendices to this report.

The principal assets of DGI will be the intellectual property of iCollege.

(a) Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the historical financial information, as set out in the appendices of this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by DGI.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the pro forma financial information, as set out in the appendices of this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the basis of preparation in the appendices and assumptions set out therein and with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by DGI.

To the best of Bentleys’ knowledge and belief, there have been no material items, transactions or events subsequent to 31 December 2013 not otherwise disclosed in this report or its appendices that have come to our attention during the course of our review which would cause the information included in this report to be misleading or deceptive.

==> picture [66 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Bentleys does not have any interest in the outcome of the listing of the shares, other than in connection with the preparation of this report for which normal professional fees will be received. Bentleys were not involved in the preparation of any part of the Prospectus, and accordingly, make no representations or warranties as to the completeness and accuracy of any information contained in any other part of the Prospectus.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition (but not the disclosure) requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis, are based on historical cost and except where stated do not take into account changing money values or current valuations of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The preparation of the Statement of Financial Position requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Statement of Financial Position are disclosed where appropriate.

The financial information has been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2013 is in accordance with the Company’s reviewed financial position at that date. The pro forma Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2013 represents the reviewed financial position and adjusted for the transactions discussed in Note 2 to this report. The Statement of Financial Position should be read in conjunction with the notes set out in this report.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of DGI Holdings as at 31 December 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. DGI Holdings and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (refer note 1(f)).

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of DGI Holdings Limited.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

(d) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(e) Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associated entities operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(f) Business Combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(g) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(h) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets including intellectual property are recognised at cost of acquisition. They have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Capitalised development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

(i) Investments & Financial Instruments

Recognition and de-recognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date being the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as gains and losses from investment securities.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Company of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

  • Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

(v) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fair Value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(j) Trade Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(k) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(l) Employee Benefits

  • (i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

  • Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at

the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(m) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • Where the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

2. Actual and Proposed Transactions to Arrive at the Pro-Forma Financial Information

The pro-forma financial information has been included for illustrative purposes to reflect the position of DGI Holdings on the assumption that the following transactions had occurred as at 31 December 2013:

  • (a) The issue of 50,000,000 pre-consolidation ordinary shares at $0.005 each pursuant to an initial capital raising to raise a gross $250,000;

  • (b) The issue of 250,000,000 pre-consolidation ordinary shares valued at $0.005 and the issue of 125,000,000 pre-consolidation options valued at $0.003 under Black Scholes valuation, as consideration to purchase iCollege in accordance with the Heads of Agreement;

  • (c) The issue of 150,000,000 pre-consolidation Performance Shares and a 1 for 1 attaching preconsolidation option as further consideration to purchase iCollege in accordance with the Heads of Agreement. Refer to Note 9 for further information;

  • (d) The issue of 12,500,000 post-consolidation ordinary shares at 20 cents each pursuant to this Prospectus to raise a gross $2,500,000; and

Note 8: Related Parties

Refer to Section 4.14, 10 and 11 of the Prospectus for details of related party transactions and shareholdings.

Note 9: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

As further consideration, DGI will issue Performance Shares (subject to the receipt of appropriate shareholder and ASX approvals) as follows:

  • i. Performance Tranche 1 – 50m pre-consolidation ordinary shares when sales revenue reaches $1.0 million within 2 years;

  • ii. Performance Tranche 2 – 50m pre-consolidation ordinary shares when EBITDA reaches $500,000 within 2 years; and

  • iii. Performance Tranche 3 – 50m pre-consolidation ordinary shares when EBITDA reaches $2.5m within 3 years.

For each tranche of shares issued, the Company has agreed to grant a 1 for 1 attaching option (exercise price of minimum 20 cents each (post consolidation) and expiry date of 5 years).

The Performance Shares and attaching options have not had any value allocated to them as the Directors are not in a position to determine the probability of achieving the sales revenue and EBITDA targets at the date of acquisition. Hence no contingent consideration has been recognised and in the event the performance targets are met, the consideration paid will be expensed and not capitalised as part of the asset.

At the date of the report no other material commitments or contingent liabilities exist that we are aware of, other than those disclosed in this Prospectus.

Note 10: Subsequent Events

At the date of this report there have been no material events subsequent to balance date that we are aware of, other than those disclosed in this Prospectus.

10.2 iCollege Exclusive Licence

iCollege (as Licensee) has entered into an exclusive licence agreement with Performa Capital Pty Ltd (as trustee for the Performa Trust), a company associated with Mr Victor Hawkins, (as Licensor) dated 20 February 2014.

The Licensor is the owner of the Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud Platform and associated IP as defined in the Licence Agreement which includes the online cloud computing software platform owned and operated by the Licensor that provides end users online education and professional development courses worldwide.

Under the Licence Agreement, the Licensor grants to the Licensee an exclusive worldwide licence to exploit the Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud Platform and associated IP for the purpose of providing online education and professional development courses to end users for perpetuity, other than in respect of marriage celebrancy and counselling courses (which rights are licensed to National Education Academy Pty Ltd, a company associated with Mr Hawkins).

The Licensee agrees to pay a fee of $10,000 per month, capped at $250,000, commencing after the completion of the acquisition of iCollege by the Company.

After the payment of this amount, the Licensee can require of the Licensor that the Licensor assign or transfer the IP and the Cloud Platform (and if necessary for using the IP and Cloud Platform, the Cloud Infrastructure) to the Licensee free from encumbrances and for no additional cost.

10.3 Consultancy Agreement – Performa Capital Pty Ltd -Victor Hawkins

The Company has entered into a consultancy agreement with Performa Capital Pty Ltd (as trustee for the Performa Trust) and Victor Hawkins (CA) effective from the date of completion of the Acquisition for a period of one year, with the possibility of being extended. Under the CA, Mr Hawkins is engaged by the Company to provide services to the Company in the capacity of Managing Director.

Mr Hawkins will be paid a fee of $250,000 per annum exclusive of GST. Mr Hawkins will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in carrying out his duties.

The CA contains standard termination provisions under which the Company must give 3 month’s written notice of termination and the Consultant must give 6 month's written notice of termination (or shorter period in the event of serious misconduct or a material breach).

10.4 Loan Facility Agreement

The Company has agreed to make available to iCollege a loan facility pursuant to a binding terms sheet entered into 17 February 2014 (Loan Facility).

The Loan Facility provides a maximum of $150,000 in funding to iCollege, which must be applied by iCollege in accordance with an expenditure budget to be approved by the Company.

  • (a) 4 months from the date the initial drawdown is advanced to iCollege; or

  • (b) the date upon which the Company issues a written notice to iCollege declaring all amounts due and payable upon an event of default.

As at the date of this Prospectus, iCollege has drawn down an amount of $50,000 under the Loan Facility.

The GSD grants a security interest over all of iCollege's present and after-acquired property in favour of the Company. The security interest granted ranks in priority before any other security interest, other than an interest mandatorily preferred by law, or a permitted security (as defined in the GSD) that ranks in priority to it.

10.5 Other Contracts

The Company has entered into standard Directors Indemnity Deeds with its Directors and Proposed Directors and a corporate advisory and capital raising mandate with Otsana Capital Pty Ltd. These agreements are summarised in other sections of this Prospectus.

11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

11.1 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any material legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any material legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

11.2 Rights attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the

68

proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Variation of rights

Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being

69

wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(h) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

11.3 Performance Shares

The terms of the Performance Shares are set out as follows:

  • (a) Performance Shares: Each Performance Share is a share in the capital of DGI.

  • (b) General Meetings: The Performance Shares shall confer on the holder (Holder) the right to receive notices of general meetings and financial reports and accounts of DGI that are circulated to shareholders. The Holder has the right to attend general meetings of shareholders of DGI.

  • (ii) The adjustments of this term will, subject to the ASX Listing Rules, be determined by DGI.

11.8 Continuous disclosure obligations

As the Company is admitted to the Official List, the Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will be required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

Price sensitive information will be publicly released through the ASX before it is disclosed to shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to shareholders and market participants will also be managed through disclosure to the ASX. In addition, the Company will post this information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

11.9 Electronic Prospectus

Pursuant to Class Order 00/44, the ASIC has exempted compliance with certain provisions of the Corporations Act to allow distribution of an electronic prospectus and electronic application form on the basis of a paper prospectus lodged with the ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain conditions.

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Form. If you have not, please contact the Company and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of this

74

Prospectus or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the ASX company announcements platform.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

11.10 Financial Forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

11.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company currently participates in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.

Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Shares allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

11.12 Privacy statement

If you complete an Application Form, you will be providing personal information to the Company. The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder and to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, including bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. If you wish to do so, please contact the share registry at the relevant contact number set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information are governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
