Simon Crowther, Chief Executive, of i-nexus Global plc, commented: "The substantial challenges posed by the pandemic continued in the year, but the ongoing investments made in our products and the changes to our Go To Market strategy started to deliver an increase in new customer win rate in Q4, increased industry recognition and a growing confidence across the business as we head into FY22. The efforts we have made in cash conservation and the uplift in revenues meant we traded on an EBITDA positive footing (adjusted for non-underlying items) for the last three months of the year, with a visible cash runway.

"Our sales pipeline continues to develop with solid new opportunities being created monthly and we have seen a general shortening of sales cycles, reflecting in our improved conversion metrics. We therefore enter the new financial year with a greater level of optimism.

"The changes brought by the pandemic have highlighted the need for scalable, robust, digital strategy execution tools and the market for our software is growing. We are confident we are well positioned, with a differentiated offering, to play a leadership role in this maturing market and are focused on delivering a year of growth."

Chairman's Statement

For many businesses 2020/21 remained challenging due to economic and commercial uncertainty coupled with all the ongoing disruption caused by the global pandemic. Of course, certain businesses were in the right markets to benefit from the unprecedented demands created by this environment, whilst others were on the wrong side of the "must have / like to have" decision process. However, while in FY20 we saw many large businesses retract from longer term decision making on procuring discretionary enterprise software purchases, during FY21 we saw a distinct change in behaviour from our existing and potential customers as they returned to addressing the fundamental challenge of increasing longer term productivity.

Critical to addressing this challenge is how enterprises deploy their strategy. Having agreed strategic goals, how they set the goals across large and complex businesses, how they measure whether or not they are on track to achieve those goals and finally what to do to course correct if they are not on target. As a Board we are confident that the challenge which i-nexus addresses, the automation of Business Improvement and Strategy Deployment, is one which all businesses face and more and more will seek to address over the coming years. We remain confident that we have an extremely capable solution as demonstrated by the quality of the customers which we currently serve and those with which we are currently negotiating.

i-nexus Global plc went into the FY20 downturn in a particularly weak position, both from a cash and from a sales perspective, but crucially we were supported at this critical time by our major shareholders. We demonstrated to those shareholders the inherent value in this business in terms of the technology we have developed, the customers who have deployed it and the new customers who have signed contracts or are currently in our pipeline. We all acknowledge that there was and continues to be considerable uncertainty about the speed at which the market for strategy deployment software develops but are confident that there is a significant market to address and that such deployments go the heart of how businesses operate. We remained 'hunkered down' during FY21, keeping costs to a minimum, successfully rebuilding our sales pipeline, continuing to service our existing customers, signing new ones and continuing on a more limited basis to develop our technology. Preservation of cash until such time as we can see a clear, sustainable improvement in sales and revenues, was our number one priority and remains so.

Although we successfully signed a number of new customers during FY21 we were hit by higher levels of churn amongst some of our existing customers than we were anticipating. The principal drivers for this churn were M&A activity and customers who found themselves in particularly hard-hit industries. In retrospect, given the considerable M&A activity amongst our customers, such events are not entirely unexpected. We have continued to support such customers in a totally professional manner and one in particular, having been acquired, has already started a new pilot to deploy i-nexus across the new merged entity. The result of this higher than anticipated churn was a tighter than anticipated cash position which was once again supported by our shareholders.

We remain confident that the market we address is emerging and that i-nexus is a leading automation product enabling businesses to deploy strategy more efficiently. We are also confident that we are running as lean a cost base as manageable in challenging times, that we have the appropriate and committed management team and that our core market is undoubtedly growing.

Although we believe that the stock market currently undervalues the business on any comparable metric, we recognise that the management of the business must demonstrate to investors that i-nexus has the exciting potential we can see and that we as a team can realise the results we envisage. Whilst we do so, we will manage our cash resources as effectively as possible, continue to develop one of the best platforms available to enable the automation of business improvement and strategy deployment and continue to drive our exciting sales pipeline as hard as our resources permit.

Finally, I would like once again to thank our management team and employees for their dedication and commitment during these challenging times. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all shareholders who have continued to support the business and in particular those who subscribed for additional Loan Notes during the most challenging of times. They have given the business the opportunity to continue to pursue the growth in new and existing customers and ultimately the financial results the management team work unstintingly to achieve.

CEO's Statement

Overview

We have emerged as a stronger business as a result of the commercial and operational challenges of FY21. After the major milestone in FY20 of deploying an upgraded version of i-nexus with a new modern interface across all our customers, which has deepened our understanding of our customers' needs, we are generating the highest number of new sales leads per month, on average one new demo request is arriving per working day and the start of a stable cadence of new contract wins is now visible. We are now moving into what I expect to be an exciting phase in i-nexus' history.

Our shareholders were an invaluable support during the challenges of FY21 and have provided the means for us to get back on a growth trajectory. I would like to add my thanks for that to those expressed by our Chairman.

Trading

The substantial challenges posed by the pandemic continued in the year, but the ongoing investments made in our products and the changes to our Go To Market ("GTM") strategy started to deliver an increase in new customer win rate in Q4, increased industry recognition and a growing confidence across the business as we head into FY22. The efforts we have made in cash conservation and the uplift in revenues meant we traded on an EBITDA positive footing (adjusted for non-underlying items) for the last three months of the year, with a visible cash runway.

The fundraising gave us much needed working capital. We remain conscious of the challenges that still lie ahead, but we are passionate about continuing to deliver on our growth strategy in the coming year while carefully managing our cash resources to ensure the long-term future of the business.

Market opportunity

All businesses set goals, plan how to deliver them and track performance. The challenge is if they can do this at pace, with insight and high levels of visibility across their complex operating environment. In most cases the answer to this is no and this is where i-nexus' software delivers considerable value. While the last 18 months has been painful for many, it brought into focus the importance of strategy being up to date, all in one place and at the fingertips of those driving a business forward and most importantly, remotely and digitally accessible. This, we believe, will see the momentum we have seen in recent months continue and grow in the coming year.

Sales & Marketing activity

Since the launch of our next generation platform, i-nexus Workbench, last year we are encouraged by the exceptionally positive response from existing customers and the high level of interest from new prospects. The flexibility and usability of the platform has enabled us to implement live trials and "test drives" for prospects for the first time, enabling high levels of engagement where prospects can see their own data in the system, providing a powerful proof of the ROI which can be delivered.

The success of these trials and test drives can be seen in the uplift in customer win rate in Q4 and into the new financial year, with five trials converted into annual contracts since July 2021 - an encouraging run rate of new business not experienced for some time.

The four new customers signed in the year were a major domestic appliance manufacturer, the first of six portfolio companies of a US-based Private Equity business, with further companies in their portfolio now evaluating the platform, a European pharmaceutical organisation and a European automotive technology company. Subsequent to the year end, we have signed one further contract with the second of the portfolio companies mentioned above with further deals progressing through contracting.

We currently have several further live trial implementations at multiple enterprises across the US, UK and Europe and a paid Pilot with a major technology company. We continue to see an uplift in new business enquiries as a result of our targeted marketing activities but are mindful that the economic backdrop remains uncertain.

Existing account activity

Typically, our software is initially utilised within one division of our customers, or one geography, with considerable scope for further expansion. However, within the year, we saw lower levels of customer expansion deals than previously with only two notable additions, a cross sell at an existing account to a new geography, Singapore and the conclusion of an enterprise deal with a major technology company whereby their MRR will ramp across the next 3-5 years. Despite these two increases success elsewhere was limited with COVID-19 continuing to impact enterprise software budgets. We have seen some improvement post year end and anticipate a higher level of customer expansion deals in FY22.

Marketing

We have seen a considerably higher level of new business enquiries as we progressed through the year, reflecting both the improving business landscape and our inclusion on G2, the world's largest online technology marketplace within the 'best strategic planning' software category. Having not appeared in this list previously, we now consistently rank highly, having received forty two reviews and three awards. Year on year the result is encouraging with new contacts nearly twice last year's average, content download 1.5 times those on average a year ago and both returning contacts and returning web visits at least five times those a year ago. All of this activity has seen our rate of leads and, importantly, demo requests increase.

Our focus for the year ahead will be to convert this increase in marketing reach, maintain this consistency in the rate of new customer acquisition, expanding with our existing customers and delivering net customer growth.

Business structure

The business comprises four core teams: GTM (Sales & Marketing), Product (Development, Product & Cloud Ops), Success, (all the customer facing & delivery teams) and Business Support (Finance, HR & Admin). Each team has clearly laid out performance metrics and KPIs, to be delivered against quarterly. A key feature of the change in the GTM approach has been to utilise domain experts, with an in depth knowledge of i-nexus, throughout the sales cycle. This has enabled a far greater level of interaction with the prospect's team on a peer-to-peer basis. In addition, we have also adopted a similar approach in customer success, whereby our Solution Consultants are acting as success managers for our accounts. Both these changes are delivering positive results.

As with many software companies, we are an agile business and well-equipped to facilitate remote working. Our staff continue to work successfully from home, with no disruption to the Group's continuity of service and indeed some benefits of the greater ease of collaboration. We took the decision in the year not to renew the lease on our Coventry HQ. We require a more flexible workspace for the future as lockdown restrictions lift and resource planning can become more definitive.

Innovation

Evolving market

Our software category - Strategy Execution Management (SEM) - continues to evolve and gain momentum as companies accelerate digitising mission-critical processes in this post pandemic world. Faced with market uncertainty, this "new normal" future requires companies to increase responsiveness by dynamically managing their strategic plan; something that we believe simply cannot be achieved in spreadsheets and other conventional productivity tools.

The growing importance of the SEM market has been acknowledged by leading analysts including Gartner Research, with SEM now considered an integral part of the new Strategy Portfolio Management (SPM) software category.

Competition

Our competitive landscape has shifted accordingly. Falling under Strategic Portfolio Management from an analyst perspective, has had two effects. It has both distanced us from many previous SEM competitors but also introduced new SPM competitors.

Against remaining SEM vendors, i-nexus is differentiated in both its depth of capabilities and its ability to support larger deployments where stringent IT requirements - including data security - must be met and flexibility in configuration is needed. Those capabilities include the X-Matrix interactive planning used by multiple strategy execution methodologies including Hoshin Kanri.

i-nexus has two clear advantages in strategy execution against SPM vendors: powerful strategic planning and performance management capabilities that complement portfolio management features. Plus, i-nexus' customers benefit from experience gained from over fifteen years of market experience in strategy execution.

Customer priorities

The past twelve months have seen the emergence of two clear trends in customer priorities. The first is around the governance of strategic data. Responding to changing market conditions requires real-time strategic insight that depends ultimately on quality data. Customers increasingly rely on i-nexus to centralise and manage this data, and furthermore present executives with visualisation and reporting on strategic health

The second noticeable trend is growing interest in rethinking the traditional annual strategic planning process, applying agile principles to strategic planning and delivery. Approaching strategic execution in a more incremental way enables customers to regularly assess not just progress toward the strategic plan but also any internal and external factors that might warrant strategic course correction.

In the year ahead we will continue to evaluate our product market fit and deliver those enhancements that respond to the market needs, especially those resulting from a greater extent of virtual operations.

Partners

While we secured one new customer at the start of the year via a partner, our consulting partners largely continued to be impacted by COVID-19, seeing their own pipelines slow down and facing substantial uncertainty, we therefore have reduced our focus on this area for the time-being.

People

Once again, I would like to thank our amazing team personally and on behalf of the Board. We are incredibly lucky with the talent and commitment of the team that we have at i-nexus. This has not been an easy year, but everyone has worked incredibly hard to make it a success and I am delighted for all of us that we are now starting to see the fruits of those labours.

Current Trading and Outlook

We exited the year with a Monthly Recurring Revenue rate of £235k and we continue to trade on a monthly EBITDA positive basis. Importantly, we have seen levels of non-renewing customers reduce considerably over the last five months and we do not expect to see a repeat of the rates seen last year.

Our sales pipeline continues to develop with solid new opportunities being created monthly and we have seen a general shortening of sales cycles, reflecting in our improved conversion metrics. We therefore enter the new financial year with a greater level of optimism.

The changes brought by the pandemic have highlighted the need for scalable, robust, digital strategy execution tools and the market for our software is growing. We are confident we are well positioned, with a differentiated offering, to play a leadership role in this maturing market and are focused on delivering a year of growth.

Chief Financial Officer's Report

Reported revenue

Revenue reduced to £3.6m (FY20: £4.1m) as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect our rate of new deal conversion and professional services billing until the last quarter of the year. The Group signed four new customers, three in the last quarter (FY20: two), all under recurring contracts of more than one year in length, paid in advance annually. Upsells and cross sells in our existing accounts were lower than previous years, adding £10k Monthly Recurring Revenue in the year (FY20: £40k). At the same time, we experienced exceptional levels of non-renewing contracts, some of which were a direct result of COVID-19, and we exited FY20 with closing MRR of £235k (FY20 exit MRR: £305k).

Revenue from recurring contracted software subscriptions was £3.3m (FY20: £3.7m), this reduction reflecting the low levels of new MRR generated from sales and the high level of non-renewing contracts. Revenue from associated professional services was £0.3m (FY20: £0.3m). We had expected some resurgence in our services billing closer to levels seen historically, but this did not materialise during the earlier part of the year. This also showed signs of improvement in the last 3 months of the year with billing in this area reaching an average of £29k per month from an average of just £5k per month from December 2020 to May 2021.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the year was £3.0m, or 83% (FY20: £3.0m, or 73%) after accounting for commission payable to the Group's business partners. This improvement is a demonstration of how well the team have responded to the pressures on the business in the past twelve months.

Reported gross margin is the combined gross margin over both recurring software subscriptions and professional services.

Overheads

Overheads (defined as the aggregate of staff costs and other operating expenses, but excluding those costs included in cost of sales, depreciation of tangible assets and amortisation of intangible assets, and share based payment charges) reduced by 27% in the year to £3.9m (FY20: £5.31m). This cost saving was a combination of a full year of reduced headcount, continuing to utilise the Government Furlough scheme, albeit at a much lower rate, not renewing the Lease on the Coventry office and other savings related to software use and other general overheads savings. Included in overheads was £0.04m (FY20: £0.2m) of non-recurring administrative expenses as a result of the redundancies. As reported elsewhere our monthly run rate of total costs, both cost of sales and overheads dropped by approximately £100k in the year to close at approximately £270k. Interest expense at £156k is up on the previous year by £102k as the recognition of rolled-up interest expense on the first tranche of convertible loan notes commenced. Cash interest paid dropped from £40k to £22k as the historical venture debt continues to be paid down.

Adjusted EBITDA and net loss for the year

Our focus for the year was to remain as close to EBITDA breakeven as we could to conserve cash. These efforts were rewarded by the final quarter as we traded profitably at EBITDA level (adjusted for non-underlying items) for the last three months and are continuing to do so in the new financial year. Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA before depreciation, amortisation, impairment and loss on disposal of assets, share based payments and non-underlying items) was a loss of just £0.3m as a result (FY20: loss £1.8m)

Group loss before taxation reduced to £1.1m (FY20: £2.4m), a result that reflects the cost reductions made. There are minimal plans to increase the cost base in the coming year, restricted to well targeted investments in lead generation, projects designed to improve conversion rates and in marketing initiatives with our partners. These investments will only be made as net new MRR increases thus releasing cash to enable them.

Cash Flow

The Group had cash & cash equivalents at the period end of £0.58m (FY20: £0.12m). The Group's cash position was enhanced during the year with successful fund raises to secure £1.975m as a result of the issue of Fixed Rate Unsecured Convertible Redeemable Loan Notes.

Gross debt at 30 September 2021 was £1.90m (FY20: £0.24m), of which £0.07m (FY20: £0.18m) was payable within one year.

The Group experienced a reduced outflow of funds from operating activities of £0.5m (FY20: £2.0m) and a net outflow from operating activities of £1.0m (FY20: £0.5m). This net outflow was largely the result of the repayment of HMRC deferrals and other accumulated creditor balances resulting from our pressured cash position towards the end of last year. The Group had a cash inflow of £1.8m (FY20: outflow of £0.2m) from financing activities.

The funds raised during the year provide additional working capital to facilitate the continued implementation of the Group's plans and will be applied entirely towards meeting the Group's ongoing working capital requirements. With the pattern of deal flow we are experiencing we expect to be self-sufficient in working capital terms in FY22 and can therefore start a prudent series of investments in resources to help us accelerate our growth.

Careful cash management will continue to be a priority focus for the Board. The Group continues to apply treasury and foreign currency exposure management policies to minimise both the cost of finance and our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The Group prepares budgets and cashflow forecasts and undertakes scenario planning to ensure that the Group can meet its liabilities as they fall due. As was the case last year the uncertainty as to the ongoing impact on the Group of COVID-19 has been considered as part of the Group's adoption of the going concern basis. In particular, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 may continue to cause sales cycles to extend and make it difficult to forecast future sales.

The Board's assessment in relation to going concern is included in Note 2 of the financial information. The Group's principal risks and uncertainties are set out in Note 9 of the financial information.

Capital expenditure

The Group operates an asset light strategy and has low capital expenditure requirements, therefore expenditure on tangible fixed assets is very low at less than 1% of revenue (FY20: 3%). The main area of capitalisation is the development of the Group's product software which amounted to £0.3m in the year (FY20: £0.6m).

The Group reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. This is reflective of the continual evolution of the market in which the Group operates and the needs of its customers, both present and prospective, and the Group's agile approach to continually developing and improving its offering. By necessity, this may mean that expenditure on intangible assets meeting the recognition criteria may later become impaired. As a result of this review we determined an impairment of £0.29m was necessary in the year (FY20: £0.11m). Our development capacity is contributing to the marketability of the Group's products, the product launch last August is proving to be strategically important to us as the success of trials and pilots is becoming evident.

Notes to accounts

1.    General information

i-nexus Global plc is a public company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales (registration number 11321642). The registered office and principal place of business is i-nexus, 27-28 Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8DH.

The principal activity of i-nexus Global plc is to help organisations achieve their goals. Whether executing a strategy, driving operational excellence and continuous performance improvement, or coordinating portfolios and programs to transform results, i-nexus strategy execution software underpins success.

 

2.    Significant accounting policies

The following principal accounting policies have been used consistently in the preparation of consolidated financial information for i-nexus Global plc and its subsidiaries (the 'Group').

Basis of preparation              

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, in accordance with the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations, and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

The financial information is prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Group. Monetary amounts in this financial information are rounded to the nearest £1.

This financial information has been prepared applying the accounting policies applied in the Group's most recent publicly available financial statements.

The financial information incorporates the results of i-nexus Global plc and all of its subsidiary undertakings as at 30 September 2021.

Going concern

The Group prepares regular business forecasts and monitors its projected cash flows, which are reviewed by the Board. Forecasts are adjusted for reasonable sensitives that address the principal risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed, thus creating a number of different scenarios for the Board to challenge including a "stress" case scenario of a worsening of total billing across recurring and services revenue of £900,000 (2020: £700,000) compared to the base case budgeted for the current financial year. This stress case was based upon new billing remaining at the same substantially suppressed rate as FY20. In those cases, where scenarios deplete the Group's cash resources too rapidly, consideration is given to the potential actions available to management to mitigate the impact of one or more of these sensitivities, in particular the discretionary nature of costs incurred by the Group, in order to ensure the continued availability of funds.

On the basis of this analysis, the Board has concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a period of at least twelve months from the balance sheet date.

 

Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial information.

 

Abridged financial information

This preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation set out above.

Whilst the financial information included in this preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, this announcement does not itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS. This preliminary announcement constitutes a dissemination announcement in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Disclosures and Transparency Rules (DTR).

 

3.    Revenue and segmental reporting

The Group has one single business segment and therefore all revenue is derived from the rendering of services as stated in the principal activity. The Group operates four geographical segments, as set out below. This is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance, has been identified as the management team comprising the executive directors who make strategic decisions.

Grant income

244,656

 

Grants of £88,316 (2020: £244,656) were received as part of the Government's initiatives to provide immediate financial support as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are no future related costs associated with these grants which were received solely as compensation for costs incurred in the year.

 

4.    Adjusted EBITDA

 

The calculation of Adjusted Earnings is consistent with the presentation of Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortisation, as presented on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This adjusted element also removes non-underlying items which comprise COVID-19 related redundancy costs and professional and consultancy fees relating to the raising of finance during the year ended 30 September 2021. Non-underlying items in the year ended 30 September 2020 comprise COVID-19 related redundancy costs.

 

The Directors have presented this Alternative Performance Measure ("APM") because they feel it most suitably represents the underlying performance and cash generation of the business, and allows comparability between the current and comparative period in light of the rapid changes in the business, and will allow an ongoing trend analysis of this performance based on current plans for the business.

 

5.    Earnings per share

 

The earnings per share has been calculated using the loss for the year and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, as follows:

 

 

Year ended

30 September 2021

 

Year ended

 30 September 2020

(0.07)

The Diluted EPS is the same as the basic EPS in the current and comparative year as the Group has incurred losses in each of the periods concerned. The Group has a number of potentially dilutive share options and convertible redeemable loan stock that could dilute the earnings per share should the Group become profitable. As at 30 September 2021 both the share options and the convertible loan stock are out of the money.

The Group has the following borrowings at 30 September 2021:

·    A Bounce Back Loan Scheme loan within bank loans which has an interest rate of 2.5% payable from November 2021 when the government grant incentive period expires. The loan is carried at £50,000 in the financial statements. This loan is unsecured.

·    Venture debt within other loans which has a fixed interest rate of the higher of 11.5% per annum or LIBOR plus 8% per annum and is measured at amortised cost. The venture debt is secured by way of fixed and floating charges over the title of all assets held by i-solutions Global Limited.

The directors consider the value of all financial liabilities to be equivalent to their fair value. 

 

7.    Convertible Loan note

Two tranches of convertible loan notes were issued during the year. The first tranche was issued on 4 November 2020 and total proceeds of £1,325,000 were recognised. The second tranche was issued on 29 September 2021 and total proceeds of £650,000 were recognised (of which £37,500 is accrued and included with other debtors). 

Both tranches have a redemption date 3 years following their date of issue. The loan note holders are entitled, before the redemption date, to require the Company to convert all or part of their holding of loan notes into fully paid Ordinary Shares on the basis of 1 Ordinary Share for every 10p of principal nominal amount of loan notes held, or, convert all or part of their holding of loan notes into fully paid Ordinary Shares at the conversion rate; and/or redeem all or part of their holding of loan notes.

The net proceeds from the issue of the convertible loan notes have been split between the financial liability element and an equity component, representing the fair value of the embedded option to convert the financial liability into equity as follows:

Description

Mitigation

Working capital

Vulnerability of the Group's long term working capital.

Whilst the Directors believe that the recent injection of funds, as a result of the Convertible Bond issues in November 2020 and more recently in September 2021, will provide the necessary flexibility to satisfy the Group's near-term funding requirements, there can be no guarantee as to the Group's medium to longer term working capital requirements and, therefore, the Group may need to seek additional capital over and above that raised from the issue of the Convertible Loan Notes. No assurance can be given as to the availability of such additional capital at any future time or, the terms upon which such additional capital would be available.

The proceeds of the Convertible Bond issue will provide the necessary flexibility in the event that the expected growth in revenues does not materialise in the near term, the Group's continuing viability in the longer term remains critically dependent on its ability to secure new sales to existing and potential customers. Given the nature of the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is not possible to know the potential impact of the ongoing crisis on the activities of the Group for the current financial year and beyond and, in particular, it is possible that as a direct or indirect result the Group will continue to experience a slower and/or lower sales conversion rate than the Directors have modelled within their central case financial projections. This could in turn have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

The Group prepares regular business forecasts and monitors its projected cash flows, which are reviewed by the Board.

The scenarios and sensitivities demonstrate that there are actions management can implement should the plans not deliver the growth hoped.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing impact of the Pandemic cannot be predicted.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected the performance of the business of the Group. As at the date of this document, given the nature of the crisis, where new variants are emerging and infection rates are increasing, the Group is not aware of the full extent of the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic for the near and medium term.

The global economic slowdown resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic requires a number of businesses worldwide to make adjustments to their operating models. Whilst the Group continues to monitor the situation on a regular basis and may be able to introduce further cost saving measures if needed, it is possible that in the longer term the COVID-19 Pandemic will have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Also, there is no assurance that the implementation of the Group's strategic and operational changes introduced to date will be successful under current or future market conditions.

In addressing the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on its markets and its customers, the Group has continued taking action to reduce its operating cost base in cash terms. Staffing expense reductions have been implemented and this has been combined with reduced discretionary spending. This has reduced the Group's monthly operating cost significantly to approximately £270,000. The Group have identified further actions that can be taken to reduce its cost base further should this prove necessary.

Implementation of Growth Strategy

Failure to successfully implement its growth strategies.

The Board recognises that executing the Group's strategy may be difficult to implement/achieve and may not be as successful as planned. Pressure on management, limitations on operational and financial resources, the potential insufficiency of demand for the Group's products and a slower than anticipated market acceptance of the Group's products could lead to failure to successfully implement its strategies and so adversely affect the Group's reputation, prospects, results of operations, and its financial condition.

The Board monitors and manages these strategies against market conditions, monthly performance against budget and cash available.

Digitising Strategy Execution

Failure of the market to accept the need/urgency to digitise their Strategy Execution (SE).

A large proportion of the Group's target market continues to use traditional methods and in-house developed systems to assist in their SE. The Board believes the market needs further education in the benefits of digitising SE. Potential customers may prefer to "do nothing" and be unnecessarily cautious about investing in the Group's software. Failure by the Group to adequately explain the value proposition to increase the market's readiness to accept the technology will lead to slower than projected growth.

The Group has internal sales and marketing functions, which are also supported by an important network of consulting partners, that work with potential customers to educate on the benefits the product can offer an organisation.

Furthermore the impact of COVID-19 is making the need to digitise strategy more widely accepted.

Account Proliferation

Failure of our existing accounts to grow, resulting from dissatisfaction with the product and/or deployment issues.

An important aspect of the Group's growth strategy is to proliferate sales of its i-nexus software with existing customers as a result of the natural evolution of the software use over time. Although the Group has a number of examples where this has occurred in the past, this is no guarantee that it will continue to happen at the increasing rate predicted. Any failure of this anticipated account proliferation to happen will affect the Group's future success and adversely affect its business, prospects and results of operations and financial position.

The Group has a number of Success managers. This team's efforts at growing our existing accounts has been assisted by the recent product enhancements aimed at improving user experience. Feedback has been excellent, highlighted in the number of positive reviews on the G2 platform discussed elsewhere in this report. The Board continue to monitor the efficacy and outcomes of the Group's efforts in cross-selling and upselling.

Dependence on

Channel Partners

Failure to develop this additional route to market effectively.

Part of the Group's strategy is to increasingly sell its software through channel partners. There are no guarantees that sufficient channel partners will be found to sell the Group's software at the rates planned. The Directors are confident that engagements to date by existing and prospective channel partners provide strong evidence of the opportunity in this regard. However, there is a risk that the loss of any one or more existing channel partners and/or failure to secure enough productive channel partners in the future could affect the Group's future success and adversely affect its business, prospects and results of operations and financial position.

Renewed efforts in relation to the evolution of this strategic theme will take place in 2022 as investment in resource is unlocked by growth. The Board will closely monitor progress.

Dependence on key Customers

Failure to retain our larger key customers.

A small group of key customers provide nearly half of the Group's MRR. One of the Group's key customers represents approximately 19 per cent of current MRR. The Group's financial performance is therefore partly dependent on the continued business relationship with these key customers.

Failure to manage the ongoing renewal of the contracts with these key customers on a commercially acceptable basis could materially affect the Group's operations and/or its financial condition.

As previously reported The Group has a dedicated team of long standing experienced professionals acting as Success managers. They have well established processes and reporting that allow them to get early warning of any issues. In addition, a substantial proportion of our remaining customer base in value terms have either renewed, are renewing or are on long term contracts, giving us comfort over the security of the bulk of our base. Whilst this cannot guarantee renewal of all other customers in the face of disruptive external factors we can't foresee or manage, risk is expected to be lower this year than last.

Software Reliability

Undetected defects in the software provided by the Group.

If the software provided to our customers contains undetected defects when first introduced or when upgraded then the Group may fail to meet its customers performance requirements or otherwise satisfy contract specifications. As a result it may lose customers and/or become liable to its customers for damages and this may among other things damage the Group's reputation, business, prospects, results of operation and financial condition.

The Group targets significant investment in product R&D. This includes performance enhancements, bug fixes and integration of new technologies, all of which undergo substantial testing before releasing to customers. In addition the Group endeavours to negotiate limitations of liability clauses in its customers' contracts.

Software Applicability

The i-nexus software may not perform as expected or meet customers' changing expectations quickly enough.

There is no guarantee that the i-nexus software will perform as intended or meet customer expectations either in terms of functionality, performance or usability. Costs spent on developing the i-nexus software may therefore not be recouped at the rate anticipated or at all, and this may result in reduced profitability for the Group.

The Board feels that recent

enhancements along with the Group's product strategy and R&D focus has de-risked this area. The Board monitors user satisfaction and the extent to which the software continues to meet customer expectation through various channels, including on the G2 platform.

Market Growth

Failure of Strategy Execution market to grow at the rate expected.

The Board believe that there is strong evidence supporting the growth in the adoption of Strategy Execution software. However, there can be no assurance that this growth will happen at the rate envisaged by the Directors. If the market fails to adopt Strategy Execution software at the rate envisaged then this will affect the Group's future success and adversely affect its business, prospects and results of operations and financial position.

The Board do not consider this year's new deal performance to be indicative of an underlying weakness in the market for the Group's product. The impact of COVID-19 has been highlighted elsewhere in this report. However it is clear from competitor activity, activity on the G2 platform we are part of and Gartner and Forrester interactions that the Strategy Execution Management market is evolving. The Board continues to monitor market evolution and the Group's response to this.

Competitors

The Group may face competition in a rapidly evolving market.

The Group may face an increasing amount of competition in the future as the market expands, making entry to it more attractive. Whilst the Group has achieved its market position through a deep understanding of the market, and the 10 years of development of its i-nexus software which places the Group in a strong position, there is no guarantee that the Group's competitors and potential competitors (who may have significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources than the Group) may be able to develop competing products, respond more quickly to changes in customer requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products, which could have a negative impact and disadvantage the Group's business. The entry into the market of strong, well funded competitors, could have a negative impact on sales volumes or profit margins achieved by the Group in the future.

The Group invests in R&D and product development to ensure that the product remains market leading. The GTM Market team is responsible for making substantial improvements in our on line presence in particular our progress on the G2 platform and this gives the Board comfort that the marketing strategy will help maintain our competitive position in an evolving market.

Security Breaches & Cyber Attacks

Vulnerability of the Group's systems to security breaches or cyber attacks.

The Group is a Data Processor for its customers' confidential data. Although the Group is ISO27001 accredited and therefore employs security and testing measures for the software it deploys and the broader security environment is well documented, these measures may not protect it from all possible security breaches that could harm the Group's or its customers' business. Given the reliance of the Group on its information technology systems then its software is at risk from cyber attacks. Either of these security events may result in significant costs being incurred and other negative consequences including reputational damage and a loss of investor confidence.

The group takes its Information Security very seriously as demonstrated by its ISO27001 accreditation. Employees are trained in this area including the risks of phishing and the best practice for Information Security. The Group has cyber security insurance in place and the Group endeavors to secure limitations of liability clauses in its customer contracts.

International Operations

Failure of the Group to adequately manage risks of operating internationally.

A substantial proportion of the Group's customers and prospects operate overseas and as a result the Group is exposed to various risks; operational challenges around distance, language and culture, human resource issues and different legal and taxation environments.

In addition a significant proportion of the Group's revenues are denominated in foreign currency, principally US dollars. Since the Group reports its financial results in sterling, fluctuations in rates of exchange between sterling and non-sterling currencies, particularly US dollars, may have a material adverse impact on the Group's financial results.

All geographies addressed by the Group can be readily serviced from the UK. The Group applies Treasury and foreign currency exposure management policies to minimise both the cost of finance and our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Reliance on counterparties

Risk that trading partners may be unable to pay in a timely manner or may seek to renegotiate

terms with the Group.

There is a risk that parties with whom the Group trades or has other business relationships may be unable to pay the  Group in a timely manner, or at all. Some of the Group's customers may seek to renegotiate their pricing and/or payment terms with the Group. Furthermore, as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and global economic slowdown some of the Group's customers may enter into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and be in a position whereby they are unable to pay the Group all or some of the payments to which the Group is owed. If any of these risks arise, this could have an adverse impact on the Group's business, revenue, financial condition, profitability, prospects and results of operations.

The Group has very little exposure in its customer base to those sectors most adversely affected by COVID-19. Therefore, whilst the Group's customers have naturally limited discretionary spend during the pandemic, there has not been a significant impact on their creditworthiness. In addition, the majority of the Groups customer base are Global Enterprises with secure working capital.

Dependence on key executives and  Personnel

Risk that key personnel could leave the Group.

The Group is managed by a limited number of key personnel, including the Directors and senior management, who have significant experience within the Group and the sectors it operates within. If members of the Group's key senior team depart, the Group may not be able to find effective replacements in a timely manner, or at all and its business may be disrupted or damaged.

Executive and staff remuneration plans, incorporating long-term incentives, have been implemented to mitigate this risk.

Reliance on third parties

The Group is at risk as to the availability, price and quality offered by such third party suppliers.

The Group contracts with third parties to perform functions or operations that are integral to the Group's products and services, including third party suppliers for integration software, and cloud hosting. Any significant changes in the availability, price and quality offered by third party suppliers could adversely affect profit margins and have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition. The Group's reliance on third party suppliers increases the risk of disruption to its operations if such third party service providers are unable to provide business services as anticipated.

The Group may not be able to provide its services and may need to seek alternative service providers or resume providing these business processes internally, which could be costly and time-consuming and have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Group evaluates its business partners very carefully and regularly undertakes risk assessments of these partners to evaluate surety of supply.
