22 November 2021

Headlines

Steadily building momentum since the spring, with continued strong performance in our Profit Protection market. This, plus very active engagement with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), means we are increasingly confident about achieving growth in FY revenue and beyond

Revenue of £2.0 million (H1 2021: £ 4.7 million), with EBITDA loss of £1.6 million (H1 2021: breakeven) Trading since 30 September has strengthened significantly and confidence about H2 trading is high

Profit Protection revenue grew by 50% to £1.0 million in the first half (H1 2021 £0.65 million) and a further £1.7 million of orders have since been received

Since the end of H1 we have received a major order from Tesco, the leading UK retailer, following its decision to deploy Thruvision at scale across its UK distribution network

Last year's large H1 sale to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was not repeated in H1 this year but strong engagement during H1 supports confidence of expected order-flow in H2

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) accreditation testing continued after the Covid-19 hiatus

The Group's EBITDA loss was £1.6 million (H1 2021: breakeven) and gross margin of 49% (H1 2021: 48%)

Cash balance at 30 September 2021 was £4.1 million (31 March 2021: £7.3 million), with cash at 19 November 2021 of £4.0 million
