WHITEHAWK LIMITED

Appendix 4E

Preliminary final report

Year ended 31 December 2018

WhiteHawk Limited (ASX: WHK) (“WhiteHawk” or “the Company”), the first global online Cybersecurity Exchange enabling small and midsize businesses to take smart action against cybercrime, is pleased to present Appendix 4E a preliminary final report for the period ended December 31, 2018.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • One new sale of a 360 Cyber Risk Framework to a U.S. Top 12 Defense Industrial Base customer and a contract extension with a U.S. Top 10 Financial Institution.

  • Phase 1 implementation of 360 Cyber Risk Framework for U.S. Government has resulted in substantial maturation of WhiteHawk Cyber Scorecard offering that will benefit all WhiteHawk customers. Phase 2 scoping of the U.S. Government contract in progress.

  • Advancing strategic partnership offering for major Financial Institutions and Insurance Groups to service their SME customers with cyber risk scorecards and risk mitigation.

  • Continued strategic partnerships with top Defense Industrial Base Companies, providing cyber innovation services to large government CIO contract proposals.

  • Technical and Data Science Team met online AI Tool and online customer journey and maturity model benchmarks; updated website functionality.

  • Monthly operating cost reductions remain in place.

  • Subsequent to the year-end, share placement with UK Institutional Investor.

OUTLOOK:

Taking the results of the customer engagement survey conducted earlier in 2018, WhiteHawk shifted the sales focus to the U.S. Defense Industrial Base and U.S. Federal Government for sales of the 360 Cyber Risk Frameworks and to strategic partnership proposals with U.S. Financial Institutions and Insurance Groups for SME customer services. In addition, WhiteHawk targeted the U.S. Utility sector in the 4[th] quarter.

The U.S. Defense Industrial Base and Government supply chain and vendor company risk regulations and business drivers currently in place to implement Risk Frameworks in a timely fashion, is proving to be a more mature sales market. Our extensive research with the Utility Sector has shown that further regulation is required before this Sector will focus

on the cyber risks of their vendors or partners. Hence our continued focus on the U.S. Department of Energy.

WhiteHawk maintains a strong pipeline of more than 50 potential customers which are in mature stages of business development across the Defense Industrial Base, U.S. Government, and Financial/Insurance Sectors. The Company expects three additional sales of the 360 Cyber Risk Framework and one Strategic Partnership with a Bank or Insurance Company in first quarter 2019. One of the target frameworks has 3,200 companies and the strategic partnerships connect WhiteHawk with tens of thousands of SME customers.

Leveraging the key lessons learned from 2018 sales channel partnerships and 360 Cyber Risk Framework contracts, a WhiteHawk Subscription Model | Service Catalog is under development. This WhiteHawk Services Catalog is being mapped to the 360 Cyber Risk Framework offering, allowing customers to tailor the Framework deliverables to meet their business risk objectives. Service levels will be offered at the Silver, Gold, & Platinum subscription levels with matching price points. Such an approach also enables timely quotes and proposals across all large industry and government customers, thereby standardizing the level and delivery of Risk Framework analytics, reporting, and services. In this way, WhiteHawk will continue to optimize sales and operations while driving a robust pipeline of 2019 contract proposals.

WhiteHawk has a strong balance sheet with US$1.29m cash held as at December 31, 2018.

In the 4th quarter, in order to effectively deliver a number of potential major sales engagements, WhiteHawk completed an Entitlements Issue on a 1 for 2 basis at 4.5c per share with a free attaching 2-year 10c option to raise AUD$1.6m before costs.

Subsequent to year-end, as a follow up to placement to Institutional Investor RiverFort, raising AUD$1,050,000 before costs. The company also completed a separate placement to a UK Sophisticated Investor raising an additional AUD$195,000 before costs.

  • Revenue from customer vendors serviced via the WhiteHawk Cybersecurity Exchange is expected to grow at a faster rate in 2019, following improved customer interface and the growth of the 360 Cyber Risk Review and SME channels with Financial Institutions developed in late 2018.

  • A large portion of expenditure is Research and Development expense which allowed the company to build a high performance, in-house technical team, in order to scale and

operate the WhiteHawk online platform, customer journey and AI Risk Profile tool (CyberPath), resulting in the release of Version 3.0 of the website and AI risk tool;

  • Investment in a critical SME cyber market assessment conducted in CY2018, resulted in the development of new sales channels that map to SME customer behavior and needs;

WhtieHawk continues to execute three primary sales channels, the 360 Cyber Risk Framework, the online Cybersecurity Exchange and commercial cyber solutions to major U.S. Government Contractors.

Expenses

to 18 Full Time Employees. As milestones were achieved WhiteHawk transitioned to a lean team of 13 during the last quarter of 2018, focusing on customer acquisition and deliverables. The large movement in the profit from ordinary activities after tax is attributable to increased costs incurred, specifically:

  • Significant increase in research and development expenditure for personnel and website development

  • Amortisation of capitalised software development costs

  • Customer acquisition and sales campaigns beginning in the current year;

  • Vesting expense on non-cash share-based payments;

  • Increased employee benefits expense due temporary expansion of staff

Balance Sheet

Placement to Institutional and Sophisticated Investors raising AUD$1.24M subsequent to the yearend indicates a strong balance sheet allowing the company to execute additional 360 Cyber Risk Framework contracts, push into the Global Insurance sector and expand channel marketing of the WhiteHawk Exchange and the online Decision Engine based Cyber Security Marketplace.

WhiteHawk’s strategy used the results of customer research conducted in early 2018 and shifting the sales focus to the U.S. Defense Industrial Base and U.S. Federal Government for sales of the 360 Cyber Risk Frameworks. There was also an expansion into strategic partnership proposals with U.S. Financial Institutions and Insurance Groups for SME customer services. In addition, WhiteHawk targeted the U.S. Utility sector. The U.S. Defense Industrial Base, US Government supply chain, vendor company risk regulations are proving to be a mature and robust sales channel. Extensive research with the Utility Sector has shown that further regulation is required before Private Sector energy providers will focus on the Sectors’ cyber risks. Hence, a continued focus on the U.S. Department of Energy, as the key overseer of the Energy Sector.

13.6 Report any factors which have affected the results during the reporting period or which are likely to affect results in the future, including those where the effect could not be quantified.

  • WhiteHawk maintains a strong pipeline of more than 50 active industry and government contract leads, which are in mature stages of business development and contract acquisition.

  • The Company expects three additional sales of the 360 Cyber Risk Framework and one Strategic Partnership with a National Financial Institution or Global Insurance Group in first quarter 2019. One of the target frameworks has 3,200 companies and the resulting strategic partnerships will connect WhiteHawk with tens of thousands of SME customers.

  • Revenue of US$295K was recognized in 2019, but collected in 2018;

  • Ongoing discussions with current customers and purchasers indicate the continued sale and expansion of 360 Cyber Risk Frameworks is likely in 2019;

  • Non-cash amortization expense was recognized for the first time in 2018;

  • The results do not include AUD$1.245M raised subsequent to the period end.
