Non-Executive Chairman's Statement

The first six months of the year has been a period of growth as we come out of the COVID-19 restrictions. The Group has taken advantage of this period to continue to restructure the operational side of the business and have decided to concentrate on the profitable Manage side of the operations.

Manage

Our Manage division has been highly praised as a service and support partner by its customer base. When considering which of our two divisions to focus on it was clear that further investment in this division would be beneficial. Consequently, the Company announced a major contract win with an existing partner in January 2021 that would deliver revenues of GBP22.5m in the subsequent 3 years with a possible extension to 5 years.

I'm delighted to say that this relationship has deepened and extended quickly, indeed the unfiltered pipeline for this division now runs into north of GBP60m albeit this has two major contracts within it.

As can be seen from the half year results this division is showing good organic growth at a revenue and profit level, and it is our belief that this will continue over the next few years.

All our colleagues in Manage deserve a hearty thank you for the outstanding work delivered and service excellence enjoyed by our partners.

Connect

The Connect division has continued to struggle in H1. A lack of scale has continued to hold the business back and the choice for IDE was to invest by way of acquisition to enable scale or sell the business to someone else.

An informal process was undertaken with Oakley Capital and the combination of continuing churn and longer-term onerous contracts made an elongated sale process an unrealistic option. The reported expected sale price reflects this.

Sale of subsidiary undertakings IDE Group Connect Limited and Nimoveri Limited

As we announced on 28(th) September 2021, the Board announced that it was in advanced discussions to sell its wholly owned subsidiary IDE Group Connect Limited. The proforma statement at the end of these unaudited financial results shows that for the period 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 IDE Group Connect Limited and Nimoveri Limited made a combined operating loss of GBP1.4 million.

Summary and Outlook

On the 28(th) September 2018 this Company reported a damning review of the Company by its Executive Director and representative of the largest shareholder, MXC. MXC, along with other shareholders committed to resolving what was a terrible situation for all shareholders and backed that with new money inviting all shareholders to participate.

It has taken three long years to turn this company around, but I am truly delighted to say that at last, with the expected sale of Connect, we have a meaningfully profitable company with excellent prospects.

The efforts of all staff involved in this turnaround cannot be underestimated. Some incredibly tough decisions have been made along the way which has seen good people leave the business because the company neither had the scale or resources to keep them.

This thankfully is now in the past and with the Company entirely focused on its partner revenues through Manage we have an exciting future ahead of us. At both a trading, post central and PLC costs we have a profitable business. Our focus is now entirely on growth, continued organic growth and the possibility of acquisitions. Our experience of right sizing this company and moving old style working practices into new, more efficient ways of delivering service mean that we can operate profitably and decrease the cost to serve for our partners. It's a hackneyed phrase but a true Win - Win.

The Company is now seriously looking at options to remove the debt overhang and is liaising with the debtholders to ascertain the best way to resolve this and finally allow the company to prosper for all shareholders.

This day has been a long time coming but for the first time in three years we can confidently look forward to a positive and rewarding future for IDE shareholders.

Financial Review

Results for the six months to 30 June 2021

Revenue for the six months to 30 June 2021 from operations was GBP 13.9 million (H1 2020: GBP12.4 million).

Gross profit for the six months to 30 June 2021 was GBP4.1 million (H1 2020: GBP3.1 million), representing an overall gross margin of 29.0%, a significant improvement to the prior period. The change in gross profit in the six months to 30 June 2021 was due to improved trading in IDE Manage.

At an Adjusted EBITDA* level the Group generated a profit of GBP1.5 million (H1 2020: GBP0.4 million ).

Exceptional costs amounted to GBP0.2 million (H1 2020: GBP0.3 million) and related predominantly to legacy redundancy costs as a result of the reduction in headcount in the previous financial year. Going forward, we expect exceptional costs to continue to decrease.

Net financial costs remained at GBP0.8 million (H1 2020: GBP1.0 million), which include GBP0.7 million of interest on the loan notes issued which is payable at the end of their term. In addition, the costs include GBP0.1 million of notional interest in relation to the convertible loan notes.

The loss after tax for the period was GBP1.3 million (H1 2020: loss of GBP3.6 million).

Loss per share was (0.31)p (H1 2020: loss per share 0.89p).

Cashflow and Net Debt

The Group's cash generated from operating activities in the period was GBP 0.1 million (H1 2020 inflow of GBP0.9 million), reflecting positive underlying performance and careful management of working capital. The Group invested GBP0.04 million in fixed assets. There were no new borrowi ngs, but repayment of lease liabilities consumed GBP0.1 million (H1 2020: GBP0.9 million). The net result is that as at 30 June 2021 there were no bank borrowings or overdraft debt and the cash balance was GBP 0.6 million (H1 2020: GBP0.5 million). Net debt as at 30 June 2021 was GBP20.1 million (31 December 2020: GBP24.8 million).

Appointment of a New CFO

In August, the Company announced the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer, David Templeman. An experienced Interim CFO has subsequently been appointed and the Board intends to review in due course.

Notes to the half-yearly financial information

1. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 is unaudited. This statement has not been reviewed by the Company's auditor. This condensed consolidated interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 29(th) September 2021. A copy of this half-yearly financial report is available on the Company's website at www.idegroup.com .

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 are extracted from but do not comprise the Group's consolidated financial statements for that year.

The Company is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Scotland. The address of its registered office is 24 Dublin Street, Edinburgh EH1 3PP. The Company is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

IDE and its subsidiaries have not applied IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union, which is not mandatory for UK AIM listed companies, in the preparation of this half-yearly financial report.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 therefore does not comply with all the requirements of IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on 21 July 2021 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditor was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2021 are in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and are consistent with those that will be adopted in the annual statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

While the financial information included has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS, as adopted by the European Union, these financial statements do not contain sufficient information to comply with IFRSs. The accounting policies adopted in the interim financial statements are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Exceptional items and other non-recurring items

Items which are material because of their size or nature, and which are non-recurring are highlighted separately on the face of the income statement. The separate reporting of exceptional items helps provide a better picture of the Company's underlying performance. Items which may be included within the exceptional category include:

   --     spend on major restructuring programmes; 
   --     significant goodwill or other asset impairments; and 
   --     other particularly significant or unusual items. 

Exceptional items are excluded from the headline profit measures used by the Group and are highlighted separately in the income statement as management believe that they need to be considered separately to gain an understanding the underlying profitability of the trading businesses.

For further details, please refer to note 3.

Going concern

The condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Taking into account the support of certain of the Company's significant shareholders, of which the largest is represented on the Board, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors consider that the adoption of the going concern basis is appropriate.

2. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM has been identified as the Executive Board. The Executive Board is responsible for resource allocation and assessing the performance of the operating segments. The operating segments are defined by distinctly separate product offerings or markets. The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of revenue and gross profit. The CODM does not review the segmental assets and liabilities on a disaggregated basis and therefore the information has not been provided.

The following table presents revenue and gross profit in respect of the Group's operating segments for the six months ended 30 June 2021:

4. Earnings per share from continuing operations

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share is based on results from continuing operations attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. The weighted average number of shares for the purpose of calculating the basic and diluted measures in the reporting periods is the same. This is because the outstanding options would have the effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share and therefore would be anti-dilutive under the terms of IAS 33. Basic and diluted unaudited loss per share from continuing operations are calculated as follows:

 
                                           Unaudited     Unaudited        Audited

5. Borrowings

In January 2019 the Company issued GBP5.3 million of secured loan notes with a six-year term and a 12% coupon which is compounded, rolled up and payable at the end of the term ("Loan Notes"). In February and March 2019, a further GBP4.7 million in total of Loan Notes were issued. The Loan Notes carry an arrangement fee of 2.5 per cent., payable at the end of the term, and an exit fee of 2.5 per cent., also payable at the end of the term.

In December 2019 the Company issued an additional GBP1.5 million of Loan Notes (with the same terms as those issued in the first quarter of the year).

The Loan Notes are held at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate for the Loan Notes has been calculated to be 18%.

On 1 June 2020, Group completed the acquisition of Nimoveri Holdings Limited, a small cloud and IT services business, for a total consideration of GBP0.2 million; GBP0.1 million paid in cash on completion and the issue of GBP0.1 million 0% Loan Notes by IDE Group Limited, a Group company (the "Nimoveri Loan Notes"). The Nimoveri Loan Notes are secured over the assets of Nimoveri Holdings Limited and redeemable on 31 December 2021.

6. Convertible Loan Notes

On 21 August 2018, as part of a wider fundraising, the Company issued GBP2.55 million of unsecured loan notes, which have a term of 5 years and a zero per cent coupon ("CLNs"). The CLNs can be converted into new ordinary shares in the capital of IDE at a price of 2.5 pence per share. Conversion is at the option of the holder at any time during the 5-year term. At the end of the term, if the holder has not chosen to convert the CLNs, the CLNs will be settled with a cash repayment. At issue, the CLNs had a fair value of GBP2.54 million, split into an equity component (GBP0.96 million) and a debt component (GBP1.58 million).
