Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the period ended 30 September 2023.
Highlights:
• Operational cashflow positive for the quarter
• Commenced development of first AI microservice
• Continued growth in quarterly cash receipts, increasing by ~77% vs Q1 FY23
• Continued growth in quarterly revenue increasing by 77% to ~$1,933m vs Q1 FY23
• Change of company name to Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1)
• Acquisition of cyber security expert Thomas Cyber completed
The Company has continued it’s transition to the next stage of growth (ASX: 31 October 2022),
building it’s unique technology offering into the broader cloud microservices sector powered by AI.
This strategy has delivered another strong quarter outlined by the following quarterly results
compared to Q1 FY23:
•
•
Cash receipts for the quarter of $2,335m, increasing by ~77%
Total revenue for the quarter of ~$1,933m, up by 77%
Pleasingly, revenue for the quarter from the Company’s core divisions (excluding DC Modular)
increased ~9% from the June 2023 quarter, to $1,431m. During the quarter the Company continued
to execute its plan to cross-sell services between its existing business units to drive further organic
growth, including the recently acquired Thomas Cyber business. The Company continues to maintain
focus on these efforts moving into Q2 FY24.
Generative AI offering restructure
As announced on 11 September 2023, the Company has begun a full restructure of it's offering from
being a provider of solely data centre and cloud services, to leveraging it's existing assets with a focus
on offering generative AI driven solutions. These solutions are being developed as standalone
microservices, with the aim of providing the Company with a suite of services to offer businesses.
The Company is currently in development of it's first AI microservice which can be used as a deidentification tool for Personally Identifiable Information (PII), to remove or anonymise PII data before
sending sensitive information to any AI Large Language Model (LLM).
The PII microservice being developed and tested by the Company will allow PII data to be found and
either masked, redacted, encrypted or replaced to ensure data that is sent to the LLM is private and
secure. This creates an environment where users can gain all the advantages of generative AI but
ensure personal data still is private. For example, the PII microservice will be able to used in
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 27 Aspiration Circuit, Bibra Lake WA 6163 | adisyn.com.au
conjunction with generative AI tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT to protect businesses from sending
personal identifiable information to offshore organisations.
Once developed, the PII microservice will be the first AI powered microservice offered by the
Company to existing and new clients. It will also provide the Company with the initial toolset to
develop further AI products and services.
New Cybersecurity Division
During July 2023, the Company announced the acquisition (ASX: 10 July 2023) and completion (ASX:
17 July 2023) of the business and assets of Shimazaki Management Group Pty Ltd trading as Thomas
Cyber (“Thomas Cyber”). Upon completion of the acquisition, a new cyber division was created within
the Company, with the Thomas Cyber management team leading the new division.
Following the change of Company name to Adisyn Ltd (ASX: 24 October 2023), the Company has
rebranded the new cybersecurity division as Adisyn Cyber. Looking forward, the Company plans to
focus on expanding the services offered under the new cybersecurity division through new
partnership agreements. Separately, the Company plans to begin development of new cybersecurity
focused AI powered microservices. An update focused on the success of the newly formed division
will be provided to shareholders in the coming months.
Update on the DC Modular business
As announced on 12 October 2023, the Company has terminated the sale agreement for the modular
assets with DComm Infrastructure (“DComm”). DComm and the Company have agreed to continue
discussions for the potential of a new sale agreement if a reasonable timeframe can be met with
satisfactory terms as the modular assets remain a large part of their portfolio strategy.
Over the course of Q1 FY24 the Company has worked to streamline the operations of the DC Modular
business to create a separate operational division within the Company under the banner ‘Miner
Hosting Australia’. This ensures that any potential future sale of the Modular Assets, or potential thirdparty investment into the division, can be achieved in a straightforward and timely manner.
For the September 2023 quarter, total unaudited revenue for the division was ~$501k, which was
down ~12% from the September 2022 quarter and ~37% from the June 2023 quarter. A number of
customers decided not to extend their agreements with the Company, resulting in a quarter on
quarter fall in revenue. As part of the streamlining of operations for the division, the Company has
developed a new pricing structure to offset the decline in revenue for the division.
Continued focus on reducing costs
During the quarter the Company reported a positive Net cash from / (used in) operating activities of
$316k, predominantly due to receipt of the research & development (R&D) tax incentive refund of
~$749k (ASX: 9 August 2023). As part of the ongoing restructuring efforts being undertaken by the
Company, several one-off restructuring costs were incurred during the quarter.
As announced on 26 October 2023, the Company has remained focused on cost reduction and
streamlining operations. The Company is expecting to achieve annual cost savings of more than
$750,000 upon completion of various restructuring initiatives being implemented by the end of H1
FY24. This is a direct result of the synergies achieved from the acquisitions of Attained (ASX: 4 April
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 27 Aspiration Circuit, Bibra Lake WA 6163 | adisyn.com.au
2023) and Thomas Cyber (ASX: 17 July 2023) and is in addition to the more than $500,000 in annual
cost savings implemented in FY23.
The Company will continue to assess value accretive M&A transactions to acquire technology and
talented individuals, expands its capabilities and enhance its market position, driving further organic
growth.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.7C.3, payments in the September quarter to related parties of
approximately $60k included at item 6 in the attached Appendix 4C comprised salaries and fees paid
to executive and non-executive directors and their related entities.
