Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023

DG Innovate (LSE: DGI), the advanced research and development company pioneering sustainable and environmentally considerate improvements to electric mobility and energy storage, announces the Company's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023.

Chairman's Report

The first half of 2023 saw progress on all fronts, as we continued with the development of our electric mobility and energy storage technologies and progressed our commercial opportunities, both with existing and new partners. Our shareholders again demonstrated their support despite challenging market conditions via a GBP418,000 subscription in January, which allowed us to continue work on our various projects and efforts to commercialise our ground-breaking IP.

Post-period end, we completed a further GBP517,000 placing on 19 July, which has allowed the team to continue development of our technologies. Testing of our Pareta(R) high-performance electric vehicle drive is ongoing, and work continues on our Scale up Readiness Validation of Parallel Motor for Automotive Applications' ("SUPAR") project with the UK Government's Advanced Propulsion Centre. As outlined in the technology roadmap in the Company's Strategic Update announced on 11 October 2022 we plan to move into pilot manufacturing and volume supply in due course.

Most recently, the team exhibited our integrated Pareta(R) drives at CENEX-LCV 2023, the UK's premier exhibition and conference devoted to low-carbon vehicle and fuel cell technologies. This marked the unveiling of our innovative e-axle for buses and other heavy vehicles, borne out of our ongoing collaboration with BRIST Axle Systems S.r.l. We also demonstrated our Pareta(R) fleet monitoring and tracking system for the first time alongside our driving simulation software, and have been extremely enthused by the response of existing and potential new partners.

At the beginning of the period, and alongside our fundraising, Sir Stephen Dalton and Andrew Boughtwood stepped down as Non-Executive Directors to reduce the Company's ongoing costs and ensure that the Company's board is of an appropriate size and composition for its current stage of development. We remain extremely grateful for their contributions to the Company.

We look forward to updating shareholders further in due course.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2023

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

DG Innovate Plc is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom, registered under company number 04006413. The address of the registered office is 15 Victoria Mews, Millfield Road, Cottingley Business Park, Bingley, West Yorkshire, BD16 1PY. On 8 April 2022, Path Investments Plc changed its name to DG Innovate Plc following the acquisition of Deregallera Holdings Ltd (formerly DG Innovate Limited) ("DHL"), becoming an advanced research and development company pioneering sustainable and environmentally considerate improvements to electric mobility and storage.

The consolidated financial information represents the results of DG Innovate Plc and its subsidiaries (together referred to as Group).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in UK Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest pound except where indicated otherwise.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention or fair value where appropriate.

The results for the six months to 30 June 2023 have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Company's 2022 annual report and accounts along with standards which have become effective after 31 December 2022. The interim accounts do not constitute statutory accounts as defined by section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The auditor has reported on the 2022 accounts of DG Innovate Plc and the report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) of (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and the 2022 report and accounts have been filed with the registrar of companies. Under reverse acquisition accounting the comparatives comprise details of the group prior to the reverse takeover and as a result these figures are not audited.

During the period, there have been no changes in the nature of the related party transactions from those described in the Company's 2022 accounts.

2.2 Responsibility statement

The directors confirm that these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the United Kingdom and as issued by the IASB and that the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7R and DTR 4.2.8R, namely;

a) An indication of the important events that have occurred during the first six months and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and

b) Material related party transactions in the first six months and any material changes in related party transactions described in the last annual report.

2.3 Segmental reporting

The Group has two distinct areas of focus (Enhanced Drive Technology and Enhanced Battery Technology), and management have identified the Group's series of Pareta(R) electric drives and hard carbon anode materials as its two cash generating units (CGUs). However, as the Group is currently in the development phase and effectively operates as one operating unit under IFRS 8, segmental information is not available or presented within these accounts.

The aggregate value in use calculated for the two identified CGUs as at 30 June 2023 was in excess of the carrying value of the intangible assets, and the Directors therefore believe the value of these assets is not impaired at 30 June 2023. This accounting treatment resulted in an impairment loss of GBPNil (30 June 2022: GBPNil; 31 December 2022: GBPNil). The carrying value of the intangible assets of the two identified CGUs as at 30 June 2023 are Enhanced Drive Technology GBP2,252,887 (30 June 2022: GBP2,053,313; 31 December 2022: GBP2,292,986) and Enhanced Battery Technology GBP2,209,789 (30 June 2022: GBP2,118,522; 31 December 2022: GBP2,280,606).

2.4 Reverse acquisition

On 8 April 2022, the Company acquired DHL via a reverse takeover which resulted in the Company becoming the ultimate holding company of the Group. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with the principles of reverse acquisition accounting, since it did not meet the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3. In accordance with IFRS 2, a share-based payment expense equal to the deemed cost of the acquisition less the fair value of the net assets of the Company at acquisition was recognised. The comparatives within the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cashflow statement represent that of the legal subsidiary and accounting acquirer, DHL. In the consolidated statement of financial position, the share capital and premium as at 31 December 2021 is that of the Company (DG Innovate Plc) with the reverse acquisition reserve representing the difference between the deemed cost of the acquisition and the net assets of the Company as at 7 April 2022. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period represents the results of both DG Innovate Plc and DHL.

4. LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share is based on the loss on ordinary activities after taxation of and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue.

There was no dilutive effect from the share options or convertible loan notes outstanding during the period.

In order to calculate the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares according to IAS33. Dilutive potential ordinary shares include convertible loan notes and share options granted to Directors and consultants where the exercise price (adjusted according to IAS33) is less than the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during the period.

The weighted average number of shares is calculated using the number of DG Innovate Plc shares owned by the accounting acquirer DHL pre and post the reverse takeover on 8 April 2022.

13. POST PERIOD EVENT

In June 2023 the Company raised (before expenses) GBP517,000 through a placing of 1,034,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.05 pence each. Given the placing price was below the nominal value of 0.1 pence per ordinary share, the placing was conditional on the passing of capital reorganisation resolutions, including the subdivision of the each existing ordinary share into one new ordinary share of 0.01p and one deferred share of 0.09p. These resolutions were duly passed at the Company's AGM on 19 July 2023, with the shares subsequently issued and admitted to trading. The Company also agreed to issue 51,700,000 warrants to Peterhouse Capital Limited and other advisers to the Company for services provided in connection with the Placing. The warrants have an exercise price of 0.05 pence, and expire one year from admission.
