Chairman's Report
The period under review was transformational for the Company, as we published our prospectus and completed the reverse takeover of DGI, becoming DG Innovate plc in the process. We continue to believe that DGI's IP and the quality of the team offers exciting growth opportunities in the electric mobility and energy storage sectors and remain committed to DGI's ethos of developing sustainable and environmentally considerate technologies.
We were also delighted with the support of new and existing shareholders in raising GBP4.6 million and to strengthen our Board through the appointments of a number of new non-executive directors. Their varied but very relevant experience across sectors and disciplines will be put to excellent use as DGI seeks to commercialise its technologies and widen its opportunity set.
Post-period, we announced the appointment of Peter Tierney as our new CEO. We believe Peter's significant experience in operating and developing growth-orientated service and manufacturing businesses makes him the ideal candidate to lead the Company as we seek to commercialise our exciting suite of electric mobility and storage technologies, evolving into a differentiated supplier to a number of industry sectors.
As subsequently announced, the testing of our 250kw Pareta(c) high-performance electric vehicle drive is underway, we have been fortunate to attract financial support from the UK Government's Advanced Propulsion Centre for our Scale up Readiness Validation of Parallel Motor for Automotive Applications' ("SUPAR") project and work continues on our sustainable hard carbon anode material.
We look forward to providing further updates in due course.

Financial Review
For the six months to 30 June 2022, the Group recorded a loss before tax of GBP6,227,231, of which 5,094,074 was an exceptional charge relating to the reverse takeover of DGI. There was negligible revenue in the period other than GBP344,831 of grant income.
Cash flow
As at 30 June 2022 the Group held cash of GBP1,650,352.
Chief Executive Remuneration
The Company's announcement on 16 May 2022 detailing the appointment of Peter Tierney as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer stated, inter alia, that It had been agreed by the Company and Mr Tierney, at his election and request, that for the months of July, August and September 2022 his monthly salary value, would be paid to him in the equivalent value of shares in the Company, based on the closing offer price of the Company's shares, on the last business day of each relevant month. Given the relatively depressed price of the Company's shares on the London Stock Exchange over this period Mr Tierney has agreed with the Company to instead take his remuneration in cash to avoid unnecessary dilutive share issuance at this time.

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2022
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. At the start of the period under review the Company was a cash shell whose strategy was to deliver material acquisitions in the energy sector. In April 2022 the Company completed the acquisition of DGI, 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).
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) ("DGI").
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 2022 have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the company's 2021 annual report and accounts along with standards which have become effective after 31 December 2021. The interim accounts do not constitute statutory accounts as defined by section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The auditor has reported on the 2021 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 2021 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 2021 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
a. Primary segment - business
The Group has only one business segment, which is development of technology.
b. Secondary segment - geographical
The Group's loss for the period was derived wholly from activities undertaken in the United Kingdom. The Group's net assets are located entirely in the United Kingdom.
2.4 Reverse acquisition
On 8 April 2022, the Company acquired DGI via a reverse takeover which resulted in the Company becoming the ultimate holding company of the Group. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition 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, DGI. 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 DGI. For more details on the key terms of the reverse takeover, see note 13.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Six months Six months Year ended to 30 June to 30 June 31 December 2022 2021 2021 Unaudited Unaudited Unaudited GBP GBP GBP Directors remuneration 486,241 79,364 160,008 Other administrative expenses 684,818 698,306 1,724,968 ------------ ------------ ------------- 1,171,059 777,670 1,884,976 ------------ ------------ ------------- 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 DGI plc shares owned by the accounting acquirer DGI pre and post the reverse takeover on 8 April 2022.

In April 2022 the Company raised (before expenses) GBP2,550,000 by way of a subscription for 510,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.5 pence each. Further, the Company raised an additional GBP2,077,000 following the irrevocable exercise of 830,800,000 Warrants (0.25p). Participants in the Fundraise were issued warrants and the company allotted a total of 670,400,000 Warrants (1p) on the basis that: (i) one Warrant (1p) was issued to each Subscriber for every two Subscription Shares issued to each Subscriber, resulting in the issue of 255,000,000 Warrants (1p); and (ii) one Warrant (1p) will be issued to each holder of Warrants (0.25p) for every two Warrants (0.25p) exercised pursuant to the Warrant Exercise Notices, which resulted in the issue of 415,400,000 Warrants (1p).
The fair value of equity settled share options and warrants granted is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The following table lists the inputs to the model:

The expense recognised by the Group for share based payments during the period ended 30 June 2022 GBP265,934 was (30 June 2021: GBPnil; 31 December 2021: GBPnil).
The average volatility is used in determining the share based payment expense to be recognised in the period. This was calculated by reference to the standard deviation of the share price over the preceding 12-month period.

13. Reverse Acquisition
On 8 April 2022 the Company announced the completion of the reverse acquisition of Deregallera Holdings Ltd (formerly DG Innovate Limited) ("DGI") for an initial consideration of GBP32.4 million satisfied by the issue to the DGI Shareholders of 5,397,451,305 Initial Consideration Shares at a deemed issue price of 0.6 pence per Ordinary Share.
Further conditional deferred consideration of up to GBP5.4 million, to be satisfied by the issue of up to 895,610,844 Deferred Consideration Shares on the first anniversary of completion, will become payable should DGI sign one or more supply agreements for the provision of their motor technology with certain defined customers prior to this date with a combined potential value of GBP5.0 million or more.
On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of subsidiaries are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess cost of acquisition over net fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as an expense under IFRS 2 equity settled transactions. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the net fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year of acquisition.
Due to the Company being a non-operating entity which was not classified as a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"), the transaction does not fall under the scope of this standard and is not a business combination but an equity-settled transaction which should be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment ("IFRS 2"). However, the IFRS 3 guidance on reverse acquisitions should still be followed, under which despite the Company being the legal acquirer of DGI, it should be considered the acquiree for accounting purposes.
Accordingly the following accounting treatment has been applied in respect of the reverse acquisition:
1. DGI was the deemed accounting acquirer.
2. The presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the legal parent (DG Innovate Plc) is a continuation of the accounting acquirer's financial statements.
3. Consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2022 for the Group present the results of DGI from 1 January 2022 to 7 April 2022 and the enlarged group thereafter. The comparative results for the period ended 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021 represent those of the DGI business, prior to the reverse takeover.
4. The equity structure appearing in the Group financial statements reflects the equity structure of the legal parent (DG Innovate Plc), including the shares issued and shares to be issued under the share for share exchange to effect the business combination.
5. The retained earnings and other equity balances recognised in the Group financial statements reflect the retained earnings and other equity balances of the DGI business immediately before the business combination and includes that of the group after the reverse takeover on 8 April 2022.
6. The reverse acquisition reserve relates to adjustments in respect of 4 and 5 above for the reverse acquisition between DG Innovate Plc and DGI.
As the accounting acquirer (DGI) is deemed to have acquired the shares of the Company, the fair value of the shares of the Company should be used to measure the consideration paid. This is calculated as the number of DGI plc shares multiplied by the quoted market price of DGI plc (Path Investments plc at the time). The consideration is then split into net assets acquired, with the difference representing the cost to DGI for obtaining a listing. This difference has been expensed within "reverse acquisition expenses" in accordance with IFRS 2.
Details of the fair value of the acquisition are as follows:
Fair Value of assets acquired GBP Cash & Cash equivalents 41,088 Loans 911,934 Fixed assets 82,546 Trade payables (552,590) Other payables (97,500) Net assets acquired 385,748 Listing expense 5,094,074 Consideration 5,479,552
The Listing Expense is attributable to the difference between the net assets acquired and the fair value of the Company on the 7 April 2022.
