("DG Innovate ", the "Company", or the "Group")
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.
Nick Tulloch
Non-Executive Chairman

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.
