Goodwill relates to the acquisition of Africa, and RocketDNA (WA) Pty Ltd (formerly Rocketmine WA Pty Ltd or Arvista Pty Ltd) .

The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units is based on the higher of its value-in-use or fair value less costs to sell which require use of assumptions. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to two (2) cash-generating units (CGU), being Africa and RocketDNA (WA) Pty Ltd . In assessing goodwill impairment for the period ended 30 June 2023, both CGUs used a discounted cash flow model in accordance with the value-in-use (VIU) method, which reflect the present value of the future cash flows to be derived from each CGUs.

RocketDNA Ltd (Formerly Delta Drone International Limited) Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023

Note 8. Share-based payments

During the period, the Group provided performance rights and share options to Christopher Clark and Paul Williamson as a part of their remuneration package and as a performance incentive – the Board considers that these are appropriate forms of incentive as they align remuneration with the long-term success of the Group, shareholder interests and current market practice. The Group also provided share options to David Morton on his appointment as part of his remuneration.

Aside from the share-based payments provided to Key Management Personnel, the group also provided share options to African employees and free shares to Australian employees as part of its employee share plans.

The details of the share-based payments provided during the period are:

RocketDNA Ltd (Formerly Delta Drone International Limited) Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023

Note 8. Share-based payments (continued)

Loan funded shares (iv) (v)

There were 15,000,000 shares issued to key management personnel as part of Loan Funded Share (LFS) arrangements approved by shareholders at the AGM on 25 May 2023.

  1. RocketDNA Ltd provides its key executives, (‘the executive’) with a loan to purchase an agreed number of RocketDNA Ltd shares at an issue price based on the 10-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) at the date of issue;

  2. The Limited Recourse Loan will be interest free for a period of five years, provided that if the Limited Recourse Loan is not repaid by the repayment date, the Limited Recourse Loan will incur interest at a default rate after that date (which will accrue on a daily basis and compound annually on the then outstanding Limited Recourse Loan balance

  3. The Limited Recourse Loan becomes repayable on the earliest of:

  4. (A) 5 years from the date on which the Loan is advanced to the borrower;

  5. (B) the cessation of employment of the borrower;

  6. (C) a change in control of the Company or an event of default (including a breach of the loan agreement by the borrower or a bankruptcy or insolvency event occurring in relation to the borrower);

the earliest being the Repayment Date

  • 4 Notwithstanding paragraph (3) above,

  • (A) the borrower may repay all or part of the Limited Recourse Loan at any time before the Repayment Date; and

  • (B) the loan will be limited recourse such that on the Repayment Date the repayment obligation under the Limited Recourse Loan will be limited to the lesser of the outstanding balance of the Limited Recourse Loan and the market value of the Loan Shares on that date.

  • 5 In addition, where the borrower has elected for the Loan Shares to be provided to the Company in full satisfaction of the Loan, the Company must accept a transfer of the Loan Shares by the borrower as full settlement of the repayment obligation under the Limited Recourse Loan.

The Loan Shares will rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares on issue in the capital of the Company. Holders of Loan Shares will be entitled to exercise all voting rights attaching to those Shares in accordance with the Company's constitution. In addition, holders of Loan Shares will be entitled to participate in dividends declared and paid by the Company in accordance with the Company's constitution, provided that any dividends declared with respect to the Loan Shares, whilst there is still remaining any portion of the Limited Recourse Loan unpaid, shall first be applied and paid to the Company in reduction of the outstanding Limited Recourse Loan balance until that outstanding Limited Recourse Loan balance is zero, before it is paid in cash to, or for any other benefit of, the Participant.

The Loan Shares will be held in escrow and subject to a holding lock for a period of 2 years from the date of issue

Management has assessed this plan, in substance as an option, and therefore the LFS have been accounted for as such.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF ROCKETDNA LTD (FORMERLY KNOWN AS DELTA DRONE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED) AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of RocketDNA Ltd (formerly known as Delta Drone International Limited) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Directors’ Responsibility for the half-year Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2023 and its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

==> picture [596 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
