PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND STRATEGY

The Corporation operates the first online, cyber security exchange, simplifying how companies and organizations identify, prioritize and mitigate cyber risks to their business’ revenue and reputation. Leveraging an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cyber Risk Profile online questionnaire, customer top cyber risks are matched to tailored solutions on demand. This accessible platform enables customers to leverage their tailored Business Risk Story to find affordable and impactful cyber tools, content, and relevant services through WhiteHawk algorithms and expertise, thereby understanding how to prevent, mitigate and stay ahead of today’s ever evolving cyber threats. www.whitehawk.com.

Primary motivators for SMB’s to take smart action to address their risk to online crime and fraud is: in response to a cybercrime (after the fact); if they have a contract with a large government or industry customer and are held accountable; if they are enabled with foundational services by their bank or cyber liability insurance company. With this in mind, the Corporation has mapped our SaaS product lines, online platform and virtual cyber analyst services to these sales channels; creating, piloting and selling:

  • 1) 360 Cyber Risk Frameworks – Integrated SaaS platforms for government and industry supply chain and vendor company risk identification, prioritization and mitigation in near real time.

  • 2) SMB Cyber Risk Profiles and Scorecards – AI driven and automated cyber risk identification, prioritization and mitigation non-technical reports from the WhiteHawk online platform, which include virtual consultations from our Cyber Analyst, to guide customer companies and organizations through the online process.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

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 2019.

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 2018 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 principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. 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 $1,646,670 (2018: $11,633,078) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,915,972 for the half year ended 30 June 2018 (2018: $1,915,972). As at that date the Group had net current assets $2,211,325 (31 December 2018: $712,610) and net assets of $3,287,294 (31 December 2018: $2,082,935). The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the company achieving its revenue targets, obtaining additional funding, or a combination of the two.

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.

13

Interim Consolidated Financial Report

WHITEHAWK LIMITED

==> picture [30 x 798] intentionally omitted <==

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.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern.

B. Financial instruments

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

  • financial assets at amortised cost

  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

  • debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

  • equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Classifications are determined by both:

  • the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset

  • the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets

14

Interim Consolidated Financial Report

WHITEHAWK LIMITED

==> picture [30 x 798] intentionally omitted <==

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

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

Financial assets that are held within a business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model, financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply.

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI)

Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of collecting the contractual cash flows and selling the assets are accounted for at FVOCI. Any gains or losses recognised in OCI will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset.

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)

Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under this category, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income is taken to profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9’s new impairment model use more forward looking information to recognize expected credit losses - the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. The application of the new impairment model depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

• financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and

• financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

  • C. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

The new Australian Accounting Standard AASB 16 Leases was adopted in the period.

Under AASB 16, all leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

  • Leases of low value assets; and

  • Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case The Group’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.

On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:

  • Amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee;

  • The exercise price of any purchase option granted in favour of The Group if it is reasonably certain to assess that option;

  • Any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

  • Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;

  • Initial direct costs incurred; and

  • The amount of any provision recognised where the Group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.

Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if, rarely, this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.

When The Group revises its estimate of the term of any lease (because, for example, it re-assesses the probability of a lessee extension or termination option being exercised), it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term.

A detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 16 has been performed and the Standard does not to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements. No adjustment was required for comparative information as all operating leases in the prior financial year were less than 12 months and no adjustment has been made to opening accumulated losses.

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

During the period, the Company entered into an Equity Swap Agreement (“ESA”) for A$700,000 with RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd ("RiverFort").

Under the ESA, WhiteHawk will receive 1/12th of the Equity Swap amount of A$700,000 each month plus an amount that represents 50% of the difference between 7.15cents ( the Benchmark Price) and the market price for a month calculated on an aggregate of 10 lowest daily volume weighted average prices in that month (Market Price). Conversely, if the Market Price is below the Benchmark Price in that month, then WhiteHawk would receive that month’s portion of the Principal Amount less the difference between the Market Price and Benchmark Price.

The Equity Swap is expected to have a term of 12 months but may be extended or settled earlier depending on ASX monthly market trading volumes of WhiteHawk shares.

9. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • a) The Group’s operations in future financial years; or

  • b) The results of those operations in future financial years; or

  • c) The Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy.

The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

  • Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following table shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of WhiteHawk Limited which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, 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 2019 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.
