"The strategy of t42 to focus on shipping containers tracking solutions is now taking form. The Company is redefining itself and now beginning to execute its new strategy. Our contract wins are starting to deliver first sales and we believe the impact of our strategy change will begin to be felt in H2 of this year.

The growing pipeline of potential orders underpins our confidence in future growth."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
 

During the first half of the year, as we transition from the legacy business to the new shipping containers tracking business, our focus has been on securing new opportunities with leaders at the forefront of the freight and logistics industry around the world, which are expected to bear fruit starting from H2 of this year.

 

It is pleasing to see contract wins begin to deliver revenues, with newly signed contracts expected to grow revenues in the second half of 2022, and with the knowledge that that our pipeline of opportunities and further contract wins can be expected to lead to additional growth, albeit with some time lag after contract signing.

 

The shortage in the supply of microchips continues to present challenges for many industries. Although we are managing this problem with creative R&D solutions, it inevitably impacts our short-term growth. In particular, the demand pressures from other industries create additional cash requirements as manufacturers have frequently been demanding significant up-front payments to ensure timely delivery. We are confident we can address these issues, but they present new management challenges and our future performance remains reliant on our ability to do so.

 

The Company has continued its rapid technological development, and in August this year a new version of Lokies 2.0 was released. It includes several significant improvements: a new cellular module for improved remote wireless coverage, a new universal charging port, an enhanced CPU (Central Processing Unit) for better performance, and a new BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 5.2 for improved energy consumption and future-proofing the product. These improvements meet customer preferences in the market and are influenced by our existing customers' feedback on their requirements. In addition, the Company has upgraded its online portal and enabled different alerts across multiple communication networks, such as Telegram, SMS, e-mail, Olympia Tracking App, etc.

 

It is exciting to report the completion of the integration of the t42 system with the Argentinian Customs systems in support of the commercial agreement signed on 13 July 2022. This complex systems integration capability demonstrates the deep technical and operational capacity within the t42 team as well as the capabilities of the technology. It will be an important demonstration of t42's ability to implement at scale for future contract tenders.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

Group revenues for the 6 months to 30 June 2022 were $2.18m, compared with $2.27m for the six months ended 30 June 2021, a decrease of 4%. SaaS revenues showed a slight increase over the equivalent period last year. Hardware sales were restricted by our ability to obtain some of the components required, although we expect these orders to be fulfilled in the second half of the year and hardware sales to show a corresponding increase.

 

Gross margin for the 6 months to 30 June 2022 increased to 46%, compared with 40% for the corresponding period in 2021.

 

Total operating expenses for the 6 months to 30 June 2022 were $1.5m (2021: $1.4m). The increase is mainly due to additional re-branding expenses as the Company continued to focus on the container and freight market.

 

Net loss after taxation for the six months to 30 June 2022 decreased to $0.2m compared with the 2021 net loss of $0.53m.

 

The Group recorded an exchange rate profit of $0.4m (2021:$0.03m) resulting from the strengthening of the US dollar relative to the Israeli Shekel.

 

The Group balance sheet showed a decrease in trade receivables to $0.65m, compared with $0.73m as at 30 June 2021.

 

Inventories at the period end were $2.2m compared with $2.0m as at 30 June 2021 and $1.8m as at 31 December 2021, as the Company increased its holding of critical components to better manage its supply chain.

 

Trade payables at the period end were stable at $1.61m, compared with $1.37m and $1.55m as at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021, respectively.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the 6 months to 30 June 2002 was $0.76m, compared with net cash provided by operating activities for the 6 months to 30 June 2021 of $0.183m.

 

In fixed assets, one-off expenditures of $0.3m were incurred in relation to the establishment of the Company's new office. The impact of the new office lease is reflected in the increased Right of Use asset, increasing from $0.7m as at 31 December 2021 to $1.06m as at 30 June 2022 ($0.26m as at 30 June 2021), offset by an increase in Leasehold Liabilities within non-current liabilities from $0.56m as at 31 December 2021 to $0.89m as at 30 June 2022 ($0.17m as at 30 June 2021).

 

OUTLOOK

 

At this crucial time, when global supply chains are being disrupted, it is more critical than ever that authorities and companies rely on reliable and actionable data. As we look ahead to the remainder of 2022 and 2023, we see strong tailwinds and increased demand for IoT tracking and monitoring solutions.

 

As a result of our strong and growing pipeline, we are confident about demand robustness and our rationale for focusing the T42 business on the freight and logistics markets. We offer the best-in-class solutions to one of the world's most traditional industries, a multi-billion-dollar industry, with innovative monitoring capabilities.

 

In particular, the new contract in Latin America has raised the awareness and recognition of our container and freight solutions. We are currently conducting reviews and pilots with several potential customers in new geographies and markets. Over the next few months, we expect further agreements to be reached.

 

We are focused on satisfying growing numbers of new orders, and we expect to benefit as our focused activities and investments mature bringing results in the near future. We anticipate solid performance and growth in 2022 and in succeeding years.

Review Report of Independent Auditors

to the Shareholders of

t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC (formerly: Starcom PLC)

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position of t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC (formerly: Starcom PLC) and its consolidated subsidiaries (hereinafter - "the Group") as at June 30, 2022 and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the six months to June 30, 2022. The preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are in conformity with International Accounting Standard No. 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and are the responsibility of the Group's board of directors and management. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim consolidated financial statements based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) No. 2410 of the Israel Accounting Standards Board, "Review of Interim Financial Information for Interim Periods Performed by the Auditor of an Entity". A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel, analytical procedures applied to the financial data and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to these interim consolidated financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with International Accounting Standard No. 34.

 

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 10 in the financial statements regarding the global uncertainties caused by the  COVID-19 pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and its material negative impact on the Group's activities.

 NOTE 10-

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING AND AFTER THE REPORTED PERIOD (GLOBAL UNCERTAINTIES - COVID-19 AND UKRAINE WAR)

 

 

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are still being felt. There was a global component's shortage, increased purchasing costs and difficult shipping conditions which created additional costs and delays impacting the Group's ability to fully respond to the increased business demand. To meet this demand the Group has sourced additional components which will enable it to deliver additional products in H2 2022.

In addition, the Group also managed to take advantage of the opportunity of COVID-19's impact on freight movement and was able to conclude 3 significant distribution contracts which are expected to contribute significantly to revenues in the coming years.

 

 

 

 

 

During February 2022, the geo-political situation between Russia and Ukraine escalated, causing the shutdown of one of the Group's sub-contractor's production site. The Company managed to shift quickly to other manufacturers, but it did cause some short delays in the production process which resulted in a slowdown in onward deliveries of finished goods to our customers. The Company's general production abilities were unaffected.
