WHITEHAWK LIMITED
WHITEHAWK LIMITED (ASX: WHK OR “THE COMPANY”), THE FIRST GLOBAL ONLINE CYBER SECURITY EXCHANGE ENABLING SMALL AND MIDSIZE BUSINESSES TO ADDRESS THEIR KEY CYBER RISKS VIA AN ONLINE PLATFORM, IS PLEASED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON ITS PROGRESS FOR THE PERIOD END 30 JUNE 2018.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
After conducting in-depth market and user research with New York City Mid-Sized business executives, WhiteHawk launched two new initiatives, the 360 Cyber Risk Framework integrated and automated offering and a strategic partnership with the US Cybercrime Support Network and 211 Hotline.
-
The company implemented its first 360 Cyber Risk Framework at a Top 10 US Financial Institution (client confidential) leveraging an integrated SaaS risk rating, continuous monitoring, and risk mitigation offering partnership with Interos and BitSight. The 360 Cyber Risk Framework solution provides continuous insight into business and cyber risks across the Financial Institution’s supply chain companies. Fifty supply companies are included in phase 1 and are being referred to the WhiteHawk Exchange to mitigate identified risks and show measured improvement overtime. WhiteHawk online Services, in the form of virtual cyber consultants are providing guidance with purchases to supply chain customers coming to our website as a result of cyber risk scoring from the 360 Cyber Risk Framework.
-
In order to effectively engage with the 3,200 US Utilities, a partnership was put in place with the Salmon Ventures Group, allowing WhiteHawk to aggressively market and sell the lite version of the 360 Cyber Risk Framework to the Utility Sector, which is seeking an automated approach to monitor and mitigate cyber risks nationwide.
-
Version 2.0 of WhiteHawk’s website and the CyberPath AI tool, to include enhanced functionality and design, was launched (announced to the ASX on 16 April). The website version 2.0 supports an integrated approach allowing customers to seek and receive virtual human cyber assistance, in support of online purchases. Starting in October 2018, Customers who have had a cyber event and have reported via the Cybercrime Support Network (CSN) 211 Hotline website, will receive the benefit of WhiteHawk website services to include the teeing up of response, mitigation and prevention service buying options. Version 2.0 updates WhiteHawk's chatline to provide easy access to Cyber Consultants for website visitors.
-
After fast tracking platform development, deployment and testing, Director of Product Development, Soo Kim, was able to migrate all outsourced development to the inhouse Technical Team, resulting in substantial monthly budget reductions of approximately 25% going forward.
REVENUE
While customer administration of contract execution resulted in 2018 revenue delays, WhiteHawk's revenue for the first six months of 2018 has grown to US$240K. And all contracted revenue will be delivered by the end of 2018. The 360 Cyber Risk Framework has generated US$92K of revenue and
==> picture [56 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

WHITEHAWK LIMITED
Half Year Report Period ended 30 June 2018
Consulting Services generated US$148K. US$148K on June 30, 2017 was noted as “other revenue” decreased to US$9K on June 30, 2018 is strictly as a result of a 2017 year-end accounting adjustment and not as a result of business operations.
Deep SME market research completed in the first quarter of 2018 in New York City, highlighted the marketing and sales imperative to formulate sales channel initiatives that drive customer companies which have either 1) an important contract with a Prime Company which requires comprehensive cyber security practices and solutions be in place or 2) have experienced a cybercrime or fraud event and urgently need response or mitigation services. These two new offerings build on WhiteHawk’s business model of providing cyber security products and services to small and midsize businesses via our online platform.
As a result of 1), the WhiteHawk 360 Cyber Risk Framework was created for large Financial Institutions, Manufacturers, Federal Contractors and Utilities which provides an integrated and automated dashboard for identifying, monitoring, and mitigating cyber risks across their supply chain companies and vendors.
As a result of 2), WhiteHawk has put a strategic partnership in place with the US non-profit lead for reporting all cybercrime and fraud across the US, the Cybercrime Support Network and 211 Hotline. This partnership targets companies who have experienced a disruptive cyber event who then after reporting the incident, need immediate cyber response and mitigation services. The CSN Website kicks off 15 October, 2018.
WhiteHawk also offers traditional cyber security Executive Consulting Services to large government and industry entities. The ASX Appendix 4C cover letter for June 2018 details more information about WhiteHawk’s products and sales channels.
EXPENSES
-
Focus has been on building, testing, and advancing the AI Tool and Version 2.0 of the website and online exchange, which includes the online Cyber Risk Questionnaire which utilises proprietary artificial intelligence patent pending technology, in order to provide automated matching to customised solutions that address an entity's cyber risks. Technical R&D and development resulted in the expenditure of US$301K for internal and external resources.
-
Professional expenses were incurred with the lodging of trademark filings in Australia and China, finalizing the patent application for AI Tool in the US and services related to the company listing on the ASX for a total expense for the first six months of US$170K (in addition to $67K in ASX affiliated expenses in 2017).
-
The WhiteHawk solution architect and CIO team of 5 attended the largest cyber security annual exposition in the United States (RSA Conference), in order to connect with hundreds of cyber security vendors to drive a pipeline of companies, products and services for onboarding onto the WhiteHawk Exchange in 2018 and 2019. And the first WhiteHawk AGM was held in Sydney, Australia on 21 May, along with PR sessions with the AICD, a presentation at Sydney Tech Meet-Up and a keynote speech and over 30 investor meetings at 121 Tech in Hong Kong, and engagement at the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) in Phoenix, AZ, all totaling US$55K.

WHITEHAWK LIMITED
Half Year Report Period ended 30 June 2018
-
During the six months ending on 30 June 2018, the company continued to implement a consistent PR, marketing, branding, website optimization, and investor communication campaign, using primarily contracted services from San Francisco firm Brass Ideas and Sydney firms of StocksDigital and FTI Consulting, for a total of US$211K.
-
Depreciation expenses increased as amortisation begins for capitalised website and AI Tool development costs.
-
General administrative expense includes finance, accounting and advisory service salaries, office space, equipment lease, insurance, and admin software licenses.
Having completed website and AI Tool 2.0, WhiteHawk has instituted cost cutting measures to reduce salary, rent, and other operating expenses to focus the marketing channels to drive sales.
OUTLOOK
In order to scale product and service sales, WhiteHawk is focused on driving sales channel customer transaction activity to the WhiteHawk Exchange. With a vetted sales pipeline being actively worked of over 40 Major Utilities, Federal Contractors, Financial Institutions, and Manufacturers, the Company is positioned to close an additional four sales of the 360 Cyber Risk Framework in 2018 and first quarter 2019.
The October 15, 2018 kick-off of the Cybercrime Support Network 211 Hotline website, will potentially drive an estimated 1/3 of all SMB’s who experience a cybercrime event in the US to WhiteHawk Virtual Cyber Analysts and to the online AI Tool and product and service Exchange.
WhiteHawk ends the first half of 2018 with cash and accounts receivables total of US$1.5M. WhiteHawk will continue to streamline operations achieving projected minimum funding requirements for the remainder of the year of US$211K per month on average, excluding product and manufacturing costs which are directly dependent on revenue.
Cost reductions through personnel efficiencies include reducing FTEs from 17 to 11 and associates and interns from 6 to 2. Operating expenses have been reduced through minimizing reliance on outside development and professional services, and reduced office space.
Since the start of 2018, WhiteHawk has seen increasing revenue from Executive Consulting Services and the selling of the 360 Cyber Risk Framework. While completing and conducting user testing of the 2.0 release of the online platform, WhiteHawk continues to improve the company customer experience when coming to the website and connecting with the virtual cyber analysts, resulting from the two new sales channels.

Interim Consolidated Financial Report
WHITEHAWK LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the ‘Group') consisting of WhiteHawk Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the six months ended 30 June 2018.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the notes. The accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the statements are as follows:
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reverse acquisition accounting
On 20 December 2017, WhiteHawk Limited wholly acquired WhiteHawk CEC Inc.
Under the accounting standard applicable to business acquisitions, AASB 3 Business Combinations (FP) , the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination as the net assets of WhiteHawk Limited at the date of acquisition did not represent a business. The transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of WhiteHawk Limited by WhiteHawk CEC Inc.

B. Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the half-year interim financial report, the Group incurred a loss after tax of $1,633,078 (2017: $1,015,438) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,915,972 for the half year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: $852,780). As at that date the Group had net current assets $992,886 (31 December 2017: $2,753,578) and net assets of $2,665,286 (31 December 2017: $4,089,817).
These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
-
If required, the Group has the ability to continue to raise additional funds on a timely basis pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001;
-
the Group has the ability to further scale back some of its development activities if required.
Accordingly, the directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WHITEHAWK LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
==> picture [220 x 95] intentionally omitted <==
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of WhiteHawk Limited which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and 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.
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, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of WhiteHawk Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of WhiteHawk Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of WhiteHawk Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicated that the entity incurred a loss after tax of USD1,633,078 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of USD1,915,973 for the half year ended 30 June 2018. As at that date the consolidated entity had net current assets of USD992,883 and net assets of USD2,665,286. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
