continued to execute its plan to cross-sell services between its existing business units to drive further
organic growth.
Generative AI offering
The Company continues to work on leveraging it's existing assets with a focus on offering generative
AI driven solutions. These solutions are being developed as individual AI powered microservices,
eventually leading to the Company selling a suite of different AI powered solutions. The Company
plans to initially use these solutions internally to further drive operational efficiencies, and then offer
them to it’s existing customer base and the broader market as a new product offering.
The Company is continuing to develop it’s first AI microservice, a de-identification tool for Personally
Identifiable Information (PII), to remove or anonymise PII data before sending sensitive information
to any AI Large Language Model (LLM) (ASX: 26 Oct 2023).
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. 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.

Adisyn Cyber
Following the change of Company name to Adisyn Ltd (ASX: 24 October 2023), the Company has
rebranded the new cybersecurity division as Adisyn Cyber. During the quarter the Company expanded
the services offered under the new cybersecurity division through a new reseller agreement with
Entrust Corporation (Entrust). Entrust is a global leader in cybersecurity for identities, payments, and
data security solutions, with operations in 150 countries. The reseller agreement allows Adisyn Cyber
to offer Entrust’s full suite of products directly to clients, with the Company planning to market the
products from Q3 FY24 onwards.
The Company is continuing to develop a number of new cybersecurity services which are focused on
assisting businesses to manage their obligations for the handling of personal data under the new
Privacy Legislation Amendment (Enforcement and Other Measures) Act 2022. These services
include threat intelligence and contextual security operations, and an AI powered Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) de-identification tool (ASX: 24 November 2023).
During the quarter, Adisyn Cyber entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Al Nasr
Technical Trading Agencies (ATTA Group) to explore the supply of IT and Cybersecurity systems in UAE,
Saudi Arabia and Oman (ASX: 24 Nov 2023). ATTA Group is a UAE based corporation in the Oil & Gas
industry, specialising in the provision of trading services. The Company is working towards executing
a commercial agency agreement to provide ATTA Group with it’s full suite of cybersecurity and
Managed IT services.
Share placement
As announced on 24 November 2023, the Company completed a share placement to raise $400,000
to expand the Company’s newly formed cybersecurity division. The Placement was conducted
pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity, with strong support from new sophisticated
investors, as well as existing shareholders and employees. 6,500,000 shares were issued pursuant to
ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and 13,500,000 shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. All shares
were issued at an issue price of $0.02.
Update on the Miner Hosting business
As announced on 12 October 2023, the Company has terminated the sale agreement for the modular
assets with DComm Infrastructure (“DComm”), and 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’.
For the December 2023 quarter, total unaudited revenue for the division was ~$276k, which was
down ~45% from the September 2023 quarter and down ~54% from the December 2022 quarter. A
majority of this decline was related to a number of customers who decided not to extend their
agreements with the Company during the September 2023 quarter.
During the quarter, the Company developed a new pricing structure to offset the decline in revenue
for the division. In addition to this, since the end of Q1 FY24 the price of Bitcoin has increased ~40%
in AUD terms. With the Miner Hosting division focused on providing hosting services for bitcoin and
other digital currency mining machines, this has resulted in a number of new clients being onboarded
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 27 Aspiration Circuit, Bibra Lake WA 6163 | adisyn.com.au
since December 2023 and the Company expects revenue for the division to begin increasing from Q3
FY24.
Cost savings and deferred consideration restructure
As announced on 26 October 2023, the Company restructured ~$736k of deferred consideration to
unrelated parties from acquisition of Attained. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to
issue up to 8,831,950 shares at a deemed issue price of $0.02 per share (Consideration Shares) to
Esidium Group and Aviso IT to offset $176,639 of cash consideration, with the remaining cash
consideration deemed a loan payable over twelve to twenty four months.
As a result of the agreement, Paul Arch (the Companys COO) and Liam Gale (the Companys CIO)
converted a considerable portion of their deferred consideration to equity in the Company,
highlighting their commitment to the Company’s strategy.
During the quarter the Company reported a negative Net cash from / (used in) operating activities
of $233k. This result includes ~$112k in expenses paid during the quarter as part of the ongoing
restructuring efforts being undertaken by the Company, along with several one-off costs paid for the
change of company name from DC Two to Adisyn.
The Company’s restructuring initiatives are now complete and as announced on 26 October 2023,
the Company is expecting to achieve annual cost savings of more than $750,000 from H2 FY24. This
is a direct result of the synergies achieved from the acquisitions of Attained (ASX: 4 April 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 and cost synergies.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.7C.3, payments in the December quarter to related parties of
approximately $125k included at item 6 in the attached Appendix 4C comprised salaries and fees
paid to executive and non-executive directors and their related entities.
