Half Year Results
Convertible Loan
Catenae Innovation PLC (AIM: CTEA), the AIM quoted provider of digital media and technology, announces its half-yearly report for the six months ended 31 March 2022.
Financial overview
· Loss of £287,168 in the period under review (2021: £586,798) with revenues of £17,500 (2021: £12,308).
· Net asset position £110,033 (2021: £1,035,493).
Operational overview
· In January 2022, the Company completed the ISO 27001 accreditation audit on behalf of the International Standards Organisation (ISO), ensuring that the Company retained its accreditation.
· In March 2022, the Company secured the renewal of the Charlton Athletic Community Trust 'On Side' licence and support agreement with a contract value of £37,500 to be paid over the next three years. The Company received an additional £1,000 upfront payment for the migration to a new server.
· The Company continued its participation with the UK Government's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport ("DCMS") in the development of the Digital Identity and Trust Attributes Framework Policy.
· The Company also promoted itself at Construction Industry events in London and Birmingham, focusing on its digital identity solutions.
Post period end
· In May 2022, the Company secured a c.£95,000 Digital Technology Solution purchase order with Saxavord UK Space Port. It is anticipated that c.£66,400 of this purchase order will be recognised as revenue in the second half of the current financial year.
Convertible Loan
The Company also announces that, post period end, it has entered into an agreement for a convertible loan facility for up to £250,000 ("Convertible Loan") with Sanderson Capital Partners Limited ("Sanderson Capital"), which will consist of an initial drawdown of £125,000 followed by a further drawdown expected three months thereafter.
At each drawdown, the Company will issue new ordinary shares to Sanderson Capital equal to 10 percent of the drawdown value at an issue price of the 10-day volume weighted average price prior to the date of drawdown. A further announcement will be made on the date of each drawdown event.
Sanderson Capital will be able to convert part or all of the Convertible Loan facility in minimum increments of £5,000, with the conversion price being fixed at the lower of i) 0.25p; or ii) 90% of the 5-day volume weighted average price from the first day of dealings of the Company's restoration to trading on AIM. The Convertible Loan facility is interest-free.
As part of the Convertible Loan facility agreement, Sanderson Capital will be issued new ordinary shares and a warrant over new ordinary shares in the Company, of which the issue price and exercise price will be the closing mid-price of the Company's ordinary shares on the first day of dealings following the lifting of the suspension and restoration to trading of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM.
The new ordinary shares and warrant over new ordinary shares will be issued after the next general meeting of the Company and a further announcement setting out the details will be made at the time of issue.
Guy Meyer, Chief Executive Officer of Catenae, said:
"Given the challenging trading conditions as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and market uncertainty, the Company has been very prudent with our resources and has focused on securing contract wins.
"Our acquisition of Hyperneph has proved disappointing, but the board remains optimistic about the prospects of recouping monies committed as a result of that transaction.
"Catenae's ongoing consultation with DCMS in the development of the Digital Identity and Trust Attributes Framework Policy reflects the Company's standing in the sector. Our investment in software IP development also contributes to the future-proofing of our competitive product set offerings, not just within the Geo-spatial sector.
"We look forward to keeping the market updated on how these opportunities progress."
