Blackwell Global Holdings Limited (NZX: BGI)

Full Year preliminary unaudited announcement for the 12 months ended 31 March 2023
 
Lending Operations Discontinued

As previously advised to the market, during the course of the 2022 financial year the Directors resolved to
wind down the Group’s finance company operations given the Company was unable to raise sufficient
funding to grow and develop a meaningful finance company operation.

The Company’s loan book as at 31 March 2023 was $Nil with the final loan having been repaid during
2022 financial year.

Changes in Accounting Policy

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies detailed in
the Group's audited consolidated financial statements for the year the ended 31 March 2022.

There are no other NZ IFRS, or NZ IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected
to have a material impact on the Company.

Bonds

The bond from Blackwell Global Group Limited maturity date was extended from 30 June 2022 to 31
December 2023. The agreed interest rate being 0% until maturity, down from the original rate of 6%. The
net present value of the bonds has been readjusted on the balance sheet for the present value of the face
values at maturity using the original effective interest rate of 6% per annum.

During the year, upon receiving shareholder approval, Blackwell Global Group Limited capitalised
$450,000 of its bonds into 100,000,000 new ordinary shares in the Company, at an issue price of $0.0045
per share. This development provided BGI with an additional $450,000 of capital which provided the
Company with sufficient working capital to fund the outgoings and expenses for the year.

Other than the above, there has been no reassessment of the useful life of assets or their residual values.
While the present value discount rate has been adjusted for current adjusted bond term, it has not been
further adjusted due to any impact from the Coronavirus, as it is not deemed to have been affected.

Going Forward 
The Board is actively looking to identify a suitable business opportunity to invest in and/or acquire through
a reverse takeover transaction (RTO). Discussions have been had with several potential acquisition
targets to date, but none of those discussions have developed into a tangible transaction to date.

What is an RTO?  
An RTO is a transaction structured such that the Company would acquire 100% of the business assets, or
the shares in the company that owns the business assets, in consideration for the payment of cash and/or
the issue of new shares in the Company, to the vendors, to fund the acquisition.

The new business acquired would then effectively become a subsidiary of the Company (the listed
company), trading on the NZX Main Board. The stakeholders in the business acquired, would ultimately
become shareholders in the Company as part of the RTO, and would have representation at the Board
level as appropriate.

In conjunction with the RTO process, the Company would seek to raise additional growth capital to assist
in funding the future growth of the business.

Investment Criteria
The Board is focusing on business opportunities that satisfy one or more of the following investment
criteria:

• The business has excellent personnel and management

• The business operates in an attractive and positive business sector
