Interim management report

Overview

In a challenging macroeconomic environment, Ubisense increased revenues by 6.2% to £12.0 million in the first half of 2012 (H1 2011: £11.3 million). The revenue growth is 12.8% after excluding one-off nil margin revenues totalling £0.7 million where third party products and services were provided to customers on a pass-through basis in the first half of 2011. Weakness in the Euro had a negative impact on the consolidated result, lowering the year on year growth by around 3.4%.

As reported in July, the Company experienced short-term delays with a small number of orders in the North American market during the latter stages of H1. In some cases, the delays were a result of longer negotiation processes due to a widening in the scope of contracts. It is pleasing to report that since the period end the majority of these orders have been received.

During the period, Ubisense has continued to invest significantly in its long-term strategy through product innovation, marketing, recruitment and strategic partner programmes. Total headcount at 30 June 2012 was 186 (June 2011: 132; December 2011: 172).

As a result of these continued investments, our Adjusted EBITDA for the period was a loss of £0.2 million compared to a profit of £0.4 million for the same period in 2011. The Board views RTLS revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA as the most appropriate measures of underlying trading performance.

Strategy

The opportunities for Ubisense continue to be significant and the Group continues to grow in an agile and prudent way. The Board's focus is on growing the business by extending our presence in priority G7 markets, particularly in the key Asian markets of Korea and Japan, and to capture new customers through new strategic partnerships, similar to our partnership with Atlas Copco. Our aim is to create long lasting customer relationships with major global businesses in high value markets.

The Board continues to evaluate suitable acquisition opportunities in this area to enhance its product offering and customer base.

The RTLS division continues to expand its presence in the manufacturing industry, through the EADS Group, the automotive OEMs and other large international groups such as AGCO. Ubisense's RTLS solutions also have the potential to be used extensively in a number of different industries, for example through a strategic partnership with S3-ID selling to Agip in the Oil & Gas sector.

The Geospatial division has the opportunity to establish a leadership position in the Geospatial industry through accretive investment in new geographic territories and complementary intellectual property.

Operating and financial review

RTLS

RTLS's revenues increased by 9.5% to £4.3 million (H1: 2011: £3.9 million). Excluding pass-through revenues in the first half of 2011 of £0.3 million, the growth was 18.7%. The high gross margins on RTLS revenue remained steady at 49.5% (H1 2011: 49.8%).

Adjusted EBITDA was marginally up at £65,000 (H1 2011: £45,000). The RTLS division continued to invest in the Atlas Copco relationship who importantly accelerated the support of their pilot programme, which is now running across many organisations including five of the largest car manufacturers in the world. Since the period end, and as announced separately today, this momentum has continued with significant first orders from two major automotive OEMs. Headcount increases in our sales and delivery teams, as well as our R&D team to expand our range of RTLS applications, resulted in headcount reaching 71 at the end of June 2012 (H1 2011: 63).

Geospatial

Geospatial revenues increased by 4.3% to £7.7 million (2011: £7.4 million). Excluding pass-through revenues in the first half of 2011 of £0.4 million, growth was 9.8% driven by the InMaps and Realworld acquisitions made in the second half of 2011. Gross margins improved to 26.6% (H1 2011: 22.2%) as a result of some higher margin product sales and a reduction in the number of contractors being used in the business.

Adjusted EBITDA was stable at £1.3 million (H1 2011: £1.3 million) with the increased gross profit being offset by increased R&D and pre-sales expense, as well as costs associated with the integration of the two acquisitions made in the last quarter of 2011. Total Geospatial headcount was 95 (H1 2011: 57), 32 of the increase since last year relates to the acquisitions. We are pleased that both acquisitions, Realworld (now Geospatial Systems Limited) and InMaps (now merged into Ubisense Inc), are performing in line with expectations.

Central

Central corporate costs were £1.6 million (H1 2011: £1.0 million) resulting in an overall EBITDA loss of £0.2 million. Included in that increase was a net foreign exchange loss of £0.1 million (H1 2011: £0.1 million gain). The underlying increase in central corporate costs was due to an increase in headcount (20 compared to 12 at the same time last year), marketing and costs relating to being a listed company.

Group operating profit and profit after tax

The operating loss for the period was £0.8 million (H1 2011: £0.1 million) including amortisation and depreciation charges of £0.6 million (H1 2011: £0.2 million) as a result of amortisation on the intangible assets acquired with Realworld and InMaps in the second half of 2011 and increased amortisation charges on capitalised development costs as investment in R&D increases.

Net interest receivable for the period was £14,000 (H1 2011: £172,000 expense) with interest expense being virtually eliminated following the conversion of the Convertible Loans and repayment of the bank loan at the time of the IPO in June 2011. Surplus cash is invested with the primary aim of capital maintenance; the Company's treasury policy includes strict counterparty limits and only with counterparties with high credit ratings.

Reported loss before tax was £0.8 million (H1 2011: £0.3 million loss).

The Group has a net tax expense of £46,000, almost entirely a result of deferred tax on capitalised development costs and acquired intangible assets. In the period ended June 2011, we had a net tax credit of £66,000 which included a current tax credit of £95,000 in respect of R&D tax credits. We account for R&D tax credits on prudent cash received basis and expect to receive a similar credit in the second half of this year. Excluding the R&D tax credits receipt, management's best estimate of the effective current tax rate is nil due to the availability of prior years losses.

EPS and dividend

Adjusted diluted loss per share was 3.1 pence (H1 2011: 0.4 pence profit). Reported basic and diluted loss per share was 4.0 pence (H1 2011: 1.6 pence loss).

The Board do not feel it appropriate at this time to pay an interim dividend. The cash balance held on the balance sheet will be used to fund growth, R&D and potential acquisitions in line with the strategy set out when listing on AIM in June 2011.

Balance sheet and cash

The Group has a robust balance sheet with Shareholder Funds at 30 June 2012 of £18.4 million (31 December 2011: £19.2 million), including net cash of £3.3 million (31 December 2011: £6.0 million) and no debt.

The main components to the cash movements in the first six months of 2012 include operating cash outflow of £1.5 million (H1 2011: £2.9 million outflow), capital investment in product development and plant and equipment of £1.0 million (H1 2011: £0.5 million) and contingent consideration paid of £0.2 million in respect of the Realworld acquisition made in October 2011.

Capital structure

The issued share capital at 30 June 2012 was 21,801,967 (December 2011: 21,657,698) ordinary shares of £0.02 each. The increase of 144,269 shares relates entirely to share option exercises by employees. In addition, 347,000 share options were granted to employees on 29 June 2012 at an exercise price of £2.125, being the share price at the time. The total number of unexercised share options at 30 June 2012 was 2,093,720.

Current trading and outlook

Ubisense enters the second half of 2012 with increasing momentum in the business. With a strong order book and robust pipeline, improved financial performance is anticipated in the second half of 2012. We continue to expect revenue growth year-on-year and profits similar to 2011.

Notes to the interim financial statements

1

General information

Ubisense Group plc ('the Company') and its subsidiaries (together, 'the Group') deliver mission-critical enterprise asset tracking and geospatial systems.

The Group has operations in the UK, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Korea and Singapore and sells mainly in the USA and Europe.

The Company is a public limited company which is listed on the Alternative Investment Market ('AIM') of the London Stock Exchange (UBI) and is incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of its registered office is St. Andrew's House, St. Andrew's Road, Chesterton, Cambridge, CB4 1DL.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on 3 September 2012.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2011 were approved by the Board of Directors on 19 March 2012 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been reviewed, not audited.

2

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group and are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

Going concern basis

The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, support the conclusion that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than twelve months from the date of this report. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

3

Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unchanged from those set out in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

The operations of the Group are not subject to significant seasonality.

4

Estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

5

Risks and uncertainties

An outline of the key risks and uncertainties faced by the Group was described in the 2011 financial statements, including exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuation, in particular the strength of Sterling relative to the US dollar and Euro. Risk is an inherent part of doing business and the strong cash position and order book leads the Directors to believe that the Group is well placed to manage business risks successfully.

6

Operating segments

Management has determined the operating segments to be the Group's two divisions based on the reports reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Chief Operating Decision Maker is the Chief Executive Officer.

The Real-Time Location Systems division ("RTLS") delivers mission-critical enterprise asset tracking solutions utilising ultra-wideband ("UWB") technology to locate people and assets in 3D, bringing visibility and control to industrial business processes. The Geospatial division delivers core location based solutions, typically to blue chip utility and communications companies, to allow them to better plan and maintain their dispersed network of assets. Centrally incurred costs not directly attributable to business segments are reported under 'Central'.

Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each deal with different technologies and predominantly different customer bases. The performance of the operating segments is assessed on a measurement of Adjusted EBITDA. The measurement basis excludes depreciation, amortisation, share-based payments charge, non-recurring expenditure such as AIM listing expenses and acquisition costs, finance income and expense and income taxes.

Income tax is recognised based on management's estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

The current income tax credit for the periods ended June and December 2011 principally arises due to the receipt of R&D tax credit relief in respect of the prior year. The Group's policy is to recognise tax credits resulting from R&D claims on a cash received basis. A tax credit has not been recognised in the period ended 30 June 2012 in respect of the claim for the 2011 financial year.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares is adjusted to allow for the effects of dilutive share options, Convertible Loans and warrants. Options have no dilutive effect in loss-making years, and hence the diluted loss per share for the periods ended June 2012 and 2011 is the same as the basic loss per share.

The Group also presents an adjusted diluted earnings per share figure which excludes amortisation on acquired intangible assets, share-based payments charge, and non-recurring expenditure such as AIM listing expenses and acquisition costs from the measurement of profit for the period.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (adjusted for the effects of dilutive options and the Group's convertible bonds).
