• Firm commitments received to raise $3m (before costs), subject to execution of Share
Purchase Agreement.
Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or the “Company") is pleased to provide its quarterly report and
Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the period ended 30 September 2024, as it continues to build
on its unique technology offering and new strategic focus.
For the quarter, the Company reported cash receipts of $1,116,000, and is the first full quarter
without cash receipts from the Company’s VMware Cloud Platform which was sold to Zettagrid Pty
Ltd on 1 May 2024. Total revenue for the quarter was $978,298.
Strategic collaboration with 2D Generation and acquisition post quarter end
As announced on 15 July 2024, Adisyn entered into a Collaboration Agreement with 2D Generation
Ltd (“2DG”) (together the “companies”) , a semiconductor IP business. During the quarter the
companies commenced working together and identified significant opportunities to leverage 2D
Generation’s semiconductor solutions and industry relationships to enhance AI1’s offering in its target
markets, as well as leverage each other’s business partners to improve market penetration.
On 23 October 2024, Adisyn announced that the Company and 2DG reached indicative terms for the
Company to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of 2DG (“Proposed Acquisition”). The indicative
terms of the Proposed Acquisition are included in the announcement dated 23 October 2024, and
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 2 – 3/4 McGrath Road, Henderson WA 6166 | adisyn.com.au
the Company will provide an update to the market as to the progress of the Proposed Acquisition in
the coming days.
The Proposed Acquisition is a critical move forward for Adisyn's services businesses for data centres,
managed IT, cybersecurity, and generative AI. The Acquisition will allow Adisyn and 2DG to focus on
developing capital-light semiconductor IP solutions for the data centre, cybersecurity, and managed
IT business segments rather than competing in the high-capital expenditure (capex) infrastructure
space.
2DG is a partner in the European Union's Joint Undertaking, ConnectingChips, which has been
specifically formed and funded to fast-track the next generation of semiconductor chips to cope with
generative AI's ever-expanding processing requirements, need for speed, and lower power
consumption. 2D Generation’s solution has the potential to substantially improve the efficiency of
data centres and generative AI solutions, as well a range of other real-world technological
applications.
Strategic review implementation
On 9 July 2024, the Company announced the outcomes of a strategic review. The strategic review
outcomes focused on implementing board and management enhancements, and identified four
primary objectives:
1. Continue to divest non-core assets
2. Streamline business with focus on AI and Cybersecurity
3. Target business development activity towards SME market in the defence industry supply
chain
4. Optimise the Company Structure
During the quarter a number of changes were made to Adisyn’s board and management structure,
including:
•
•
•
•
Appointment of Mr Jesse Gane as Chief Technology Officer, who is responsible for developing
and delivering technology solutions for both existing and new clients.
Justin Thomas transitioned from his executive role effective 9 July 2024 remaining on the
board in a non-executive director capacity;
Liam Gale resigning from his position as Chief Information Officer effective 31 July 2024; and
Jesper Sentow being appointed as the Company’s permanent part-time Chief Financial Officer,
from his current role of interim Chief Financial Officer.
On 4 September, the Company announced it had successfully negotiated a surrender of it’s Bibra Lake
lease, resulting in approximately $350k in savings per year, net of costs for the lease of the Company’s
new corporate office. On 18 October 2024, the Company successfully exited the Bibra Lake lease and
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 2 – 3/4 McGrath Road, Henderson WA 6166 | adisyn.com.au
has relocated to a new office in Henderson, Western Australia. The new office is located in the
Australian Marine Complex, and nearby the newly announced Commonwealth-owned Defence
Precinct (defence.gov.au, October 2024).
As a condition of the surrender of lease, the lessor of the Bibra Lake premises has agreed to indemnify
Adisyn against any potential exposure to damages for the Cannontech Technologies Ltd
(“Cannontech”) legal matter in the event that Cannontech are successful in their proceedings. Further
details can be found in the announced on 4 September 2024.
Miner Hosting Australia
The Company continues to explore options for its non-core Miner Hosting Australia division (ASX: 24
April 2024, 31 July 2024), and is focused on divesting the division to further streamline the existing
operations within the Company and realise further shareholder value for the division. All negotiations
for the divestment of the Miner Hosting Australia division still remain early-stage discussions and no
offer has been received to date.
A Bitcoin halving event occurred in April 2024, resulting in the rewards for Bitcoin mining halving as a
result. Following this global event, a number of customers with the Company’s Miner Hosting division
decided to not continue their hosting services with the Company as their bitcoin mining operations
became unprofitable. During the quarter the Miner Hosting division turned to a loss making position,
and experienced a loss of approximately $50k for the quarter. The Company has modified it’s pricing
structure for the division in order to improve the cash burn moving forward, however the priority of
the Company remains the divestment of the Miner Hosting assets.
The Miner Hosting division along with a number of non-revenue generating assets from the Bibra
Lake data centre site are the last remaining non-core assets which the Company intends to divest.
While there is no guarantee that the sale of these assets will be successful, Adisyn intends to continue
with it’s divestment campaign and will update the market as necessary with the progress of the
campaign for the potential sale of these assets.
Cashflow and post quarter capital raising
During the quarter the Company’s net cash used in operating activities increased to $812k, as the
Company continued to implement the outcomes of it’s strategic review and incurred a number of
one-off costs during the quarter. Included in this result is ~$130k in one-off costs which the Company
incurred in relation to the Bibra Lake surrender of lease, decommissioning of the Bibra Lake data
centre and other costs associated with the outcomes of the strategic review. This result was further
impacted from the Company’s Miner Hosting division moving into a loss making position of ~$50k
during the quarter.
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 2 – 3/4 McGrath Road, Henderson WA 6166 | adisyn.com.au
With the Company exiting the Bibra Lake lease from 18 October 2024, there is expected to be
approximately $350k in savings per year from this initiative alone moving forward. Furthermore, with
the appointment of Mr Jesse Gane on 19 August 2024, the Company has considerably increased it’s
business development activities over the past 2 months with a strong focus on targeting businesses
in the defence industry supply chain.
Capital Raise
On 29 July 2024, the Company announced that it received binding firm commitments from new and
existing sophisticated investors to raise $1.518 million through the issue of 46 million new fully paid
ordinary shares in the Company (“Placement Shares”) at an issue price of $0.033 per share. The
Placement Shares were issued utilising the Company's existing placement capacity, with 27,500,000
shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 18,500,000 shares issues pursuant to Listing Rule
7.1A. Allotment of the Placement Shares occurred on 2 August and ranked pari passu with existing
AI1 shares on issue.
Post quarter on 23 October 2024, the Company announced that is has received binding commitments
from new and existing sophisticated investors to raise $3 million via an equity capital placement,
subject to the Company entering into a formal share purchase agreement for the Acquisition. The
capital placement will raise $3,000,000 (before costs) through the issue of 60 million new fully paid
ordinary shares in the Company (“New Shares”) at an issue price of $0.05 per share together with 1
free attaching option (exercisable at $0.075 within 3 years of issue) for every 4 shares subscribed for
and issued, representing 15,000,000 Placement Options. The New Shares will be issued utilising the
Company's existing placement capacity, with 36,351,000 shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule
7.1 and 23,649,000 shares issues pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The 15,000,000 Placement Options
will be issued subject to shareholder approval.
Allotment of the New Shares is expected to occur on or about 3 days after the Company has
successfully executed a binding share purchase agreement with 2D Generation.
The Company intends to apply its existing cash reserves and funds raised from the capital placement
to advancing it’s existing core businesses, development of the 2D Generation business, costs of the
Acquisition and capital raise and working capital.
