About iTrack II

The iTrack II Mining system provides real-time data on the condition of the tyres, combined with live tracking of vehicle location and status. Our 24/7 Control Room monitors the pressures and temperatures live, and this information can, for example, be used to ensure tyres do not exceed critical heat thresholds, to detect incorrect load distributions, predict suspension failures and eliminate manual tyre pressure checks. The Directors believe that these benefits maximise the hours a truck is working (Truck Uptime) and improve productivity by minimising maintenance requirements and using data to identify underperforming trucks. www.trans-logik.com/itrack-2/

Chairman's statement

In a transformational year for the Group, financial results are improved and major breakthrough announcements have been made relating to commercialisation of each of our core technologies. The balance sheet has been strengthened by an equity fundraise which, together with the interest free Bridgestone loan received in August 2019, will provide a secure platform to support exciting future growth prospects.

The Chairman wishes to thank the whole Transense team for its contribution towards achieving the breakthroughs in both iTrack and SAWSense during the year.

Strategy

The business strategy of the Group continues to be the development of innovative sensing solutions across a range of applications, which are commercialised either through the launch of products and services to customers or by forming strategic alliances with partner organisations. Value is realised through a combination of commercial income, royalties, licensing income and capital gains on disposals.

Commercial developments

SawSense

SAWSense is a leader in the development of Surface Acoustic Wave ("SAW") wireless, batteryless, sensor systems that offer significant advantages over legacy systems in common use. The business continues to be involved in several projects in conjunction with major global industrial companies.

In July 2016, SAWSense entered into a significant licensing agreement with General Electric Company ("GE") for the non-exclusive use of our patented, wireless, passive SAW technology. Initial license fees of US$0.75m were received following the agreement, and we are entitled to receive further significant royalty payments from GE in respect of unit sales anticipated in the future.

The likelihood of receiving future royalty payments took a step forward with the announcement in February 2019 that GE's engine, incorporating our SAW sensor, had been selected by the US Army for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development ("EMD") phase of the Improved Turbine Engine Program ("ITEP"), the U.S. Army's endeavour to re-engine its Boeing AH-64 Apaches and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks.

The U.S. Army intends to replace more than 6,000 engines installed in their current fleet of these two aircraft. The wider market for the T901 engine includes replacement engines for these aircraft in military forces outside of the U.S., as well as other military and commercial medium sized vertical take-off aircraft globally. This provides the prospect of an expected growing revenue stream as volumes of engines installed builds over time, this selection both demonstrates the ability of our SAW sensors to operate in extreme testing environments and that they can be manufactured in volume. Our relationship with GE continues to deepen, with further applications being evaluated.

Progress continues with several other applications. Our Torque sensor is part of an innovative steering system which is due to start vehicle trials on off road sports vehicles in 2020. Our Joint Development Agreement with McLaren is exploring opportunities in other race formats and our participation in a Strain & Temperature related project with University of Southampton & Lloyds Register, which began earlier this year is progressing on schedule.

Translogik

Important advancements were made with the market traction of our iTrack II mining tyre monitoring systems. The number of mine haul trucks fitted with the system increased during the year by more than 50% to 396, with annualised revenues at the end of the year exceeding GBP1.2m covering installations in 4 countries across 3 continents.

In February 2019, an initial order for 50 iTrack II units was received from Bridgestone Corporation, Japan ("Bridgestone") for installation in mines in North America. Bridgestone are a leading supplier of tyres to the mining off-the-road (OTR) marketplace and their decision to offer the iTrack system is a testament to the capabilities of Translogik and the iTrack system.

More recently in August 2019, the Company entered into a joint collaboration agreement with Bridgestone in respect of the iTrack II system and its future generations ("iTrack system") for an initial 18-month period with ability to extend.

Based on this joint collaboration agreement, Bridgestone has agreed to offer the iTrack system exclusively as a mining tyre monitoring system for tyres 57 inches and above for its OTR customers. In addition, the Company has agreed that it will not contract with any other tyre manufacturer for the provision of the iTrack system for tyres 57 inches and above for the term of the agreement, nor will it for a period of six months have discussions with any other party in relation to any transaction of a merger, acquisition or joint venture nature in respect of its iTrack business.

Since the year end, the total number of mine haul trucks fitted or agreed to be fitted with iTrack now exceeds 500. This includes 25 units being added at South Walker Creek in Australia. Pleasingly, Kal Tire, a corporation based in Canada and a substantial retailer and service provider in mining and OTR, has become a reseller for iTrack in Africa, and in August 2019 won a contract to supply 85 iTrack II mining tyre monitoring systems for haul trucks into a large multi-national mining company operating in Mozambique.

The selection of the iTrack system was the outcome of a competitive trial between iTrack and a number of other TPMS systems with the end user concluding that iTrack was the best overall solution, satisfying both Kal Tire, and the end user's very specific operational and information reporting requirements. Kal Tire has a large installed customer base throughout Africa and will be seeking to introduce additional iTrack systems into a number of their current and future on-site service operations.

Sales of tyre tread depth probes reduced by 46% to GBP0.45m (2018: GBP0.84m). This followed a year of particularly strong growth in 2017/18, when the probe was selected by Goodyear USA for their new tyre management system called 'Tire Optix' which incorporates the Translogik tyre probe. The take up rate has been somewhat slower than we had anticipated.

Our probes are also specified for use in Bridgestone's corresponding 'Toolbox' and 'Total Tyre Care' systems as well as Continental's 'Fleetfox' system, underpinning our belief that they represent an industry standard.

It is likely that the revenue reduction during the year was partly a result of reduced marketing effort, especially on-line. We have recently recommenced advertising in this way, and are beginning to see a corresponding increase in sales orders, which is encouraging.

Financial results and condition

Revenues for the year increased by 9% to GBP2.23m (2018: GBP2.05m). Recurring subscription revenues generated by Translogik from users of the iTrack II system increased by 58% to GBP0.98m (2018: GBP0.62m). We anticipate these revenues will continue to grow significantly over the coming year as the iTrack installed base significantly increases.

Gross margin increased to 80.5% of revenues (2018: 62.9%) reflecting the higher proportion of income from subscriptions, and also ad hoc fees to support new trials. The associated costs of the subscription income is included in depreciation charges, included within administrative expenses, which totalled GBP0.31m in the year (2018: GBP0.16m).

Net operating expenses were GBP3.60m (2018: GBP3.21m) and the net loss before taxation from continuing operations reduced to GBP1.73m (2018: GBP1.91m).

The total comprehensive loss for the period reduced to GBP1.47m (2018: GBP1.89m), reflecting a tax credit of GBP0.27m (2018: GBP0.03m).

Net cash used in operations reduced by 62% to GBP0.43m (2018: GBP1.11m). Offering iTrack II to customers on a subscription basis results in a short-term cash outlay and requires investment in the initial months of each contract. The net investment in fixed assets for such contracts in the period amounted to GBP0.38m (2018: GBP0.42m) and as Translogik's iTrack II installed base increases there will continue to be a need to invest in fixed assets.

In March and April 2019, the Company issued additional equity to new and existing shareholders raising GBP2.56m to provide additional working capital and fund further product development costs for the iTrack II system.

The Group closed the year with net cash and cash equivalents of GBP2.65m (2018: GBP1.59m). ). In August 2019 the Company received an interest free loan of $0.75m (GBP0.62m) from Bridgestone as part of the Joint Collaboration Agreement with them to be used to support the accelerated rate of growth that is anticipated from this relationship.

Prospects

The breakthrough successes achieved in recent months have been the culmination of several years of technical and commercial development activity. Each of the Group's business units are now closely aligned with global companies that are acknowledged to be leaders in their respective fields.

There remains much to be done to ensure that we, together with our commercial partners, are able to fully exploit the opportunities made possible by our technologies. We are firmly committed, and well positioned, to provide the resources required to unlock potential for very exciting future growth.

Strategic Report

Financial Review

Results for the year

Revenues totalled GBP2.23m (2018: GBP2.05m). The pre-tax loss totalled GBP1.73m (2018: GBP1.91m).

Translogik revenues grew by 11% to GBP2.11m, and SAWSense generated GBP0.12m of revenues (2018: GBP0.15m). Gross margin improved to 80.5% (2018: 62.9%) reflecting the continual increase in the subscription base. The depreciation on capitalised iTrack kit, included in administrative expenses, increased to GBP0.31m (2018: GBP0.16m).

Administrative expenses for the year, before depreciation, amortisation and interest, amounted to GBP2.84m compared with GBP2.65m in the prior year.

The increase in Translogik revenues reflects the good growth in new iTrack subscription services following the launch of iTrack II in September 2016 and despite a 46% reduction in Probe sales during the period following a record year of sales in 2018.

The Earnings per share (EPS) are set out below (in Pence):

 
                2019     2018 
 
EPS (Loss)   (11.11)  (19.68) 
 

Taxation

The Company has UK tax losses available to carry forward at 30 June 2019 of approximately GBP21m, subject to HMRC agreement.

Certain elements of development expenditure undertaken by the Company are eligible for enhanced research and development tax relief which generally relates to salary costs of technical staff. The accounting treatment adopted is to recognise the R & D tax credits on a cash basis due to the uncertain nature of the claim. During the year the Company received R & D tax credits totalling GBP283,000 in respect of the two years ended 30 June 2018.

Cash flow and financial position

There was a net cash inflow of GBP1.06m (2018: outflow of GBP0.93m) during the year, arising from trading and GBP2.34m of net proceeds arising from the issue of equity share capital during 2019 (2018: GBP0.92m).

Net cash used in operations amounted to GBP0.43m (2018: GBP1.11m).

At 30 June 2019 the Group had net cash balances of GBP2.65m (2018: GBP1.59m).

The forward looking cash flow forecasts based on the anticipated level of activity indicates that the Group should have sufficient funds available for the short to medium term. The Board note that part of the effect of increased demand for iTrack services has been funded by Bridgestone after the year end.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Group has made a loss for the year of GBP1.47m (2018: loss of GBP1.89m). The Group has accumulated losses of GBP3.36m (2018: GBP1.89m). The balance of cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2019 is GBP2.65m (2018: GBP1.59m).

The Group's cash used in operations during the year was GBP0.43m (2018: GBP1.11m).

The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through existing cash reserves and does not currently have an overdraft facility. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2020. These forecasts indicate that the Group should continue to be able to operate within its current cash resources for the foreseeable future.

The applicable UK corporation tax rate is 19% throughout the reporting period.

The Group has tax losses, subject to agreement by HM Revenue and Customs, in the sum of GBP20.7m (2018: GBP19.7m), which are available for offset against future profits of the same trade. There is no expiry date for tax losses. An appropriate asset will be recognised when the Group can demonstrate a reasonable expectation of sufficient taxable profits to utilise the temporary differences.

The rate of Corporation Tax will reduce to 17% with effect from 1 April 2020.

The effective tax rate used to calculate the current tax for the period ended 30 June 2019 was 19.00% (2018: 19.00%).

   4        EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss after taxation of GBP1.47m (2018: loss of GBP1.89m) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year of 13,184,581 (2018: 9,595,825). Unexercised options over the ordinary shares are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as they are anti-dilutive.
