HALF YEARLY REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013

SRT, the AIM-quoted developer and supplier of maritime identification and tracking technologies, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2013.

Results

For the six months ended 30 September 2013, revenue and loss before tax were £3.2 million and £0.4 million respectively. As at 30 September 2013, the Group had cash of £2.2 million, no borrowings and subsequent to the period end received an offer of a banking facility of £1.0 million, which will be taken up if appropriate.

The gross profit margin for the period was 47%, reflecting the greater weighting of core business during the first half to the higher margin mandate and project driven business. We continue to expect our average gross profit margin to average at 50% over a 12 month period. Group cash overheads, inclusive of administration and research and development but excluding amortisation and depreciation, were approximately the same as the corresponding period last year at £2.0 million, of which £0.7 million was invested in new technology and product development and capitalised.

As we reported in the trading update on 14 October 2013, the primary driver of revenue for the first half was our core business, which saw year-on-year growth of approximately 40%. This is a long term trend which we expect to continue steadily in the future as more leisure and commercial vessel owners freely decide to install an AIS transceiver, coupled with our strategy of enabling established marine electronics brands to have their own range of competitive AIS devices. Unlike the first half in the prior year, there was no significant contribution to revenue from our project and mandate business.

During the second half we expect to see a healthy contribution from our core business, plus a significant contribution from various project and mandate driven business. SRT's partners are addressing a wide range of market opportunities which are in progress or pending. Our expectation is that those which are in progress, such as the EU Fisheries, will generate additional demand for our Class A products during the second half, whilst pending mandates such as the US Coast Guard rule extension could make a significant contribution as and when it is brought into law. Additionally there are several of the many project opportunities which appear likely to convert into material orders during the second half following an extended period of evaluations and trials.

The recent acquisition of GeoVS Limited, which was completed subsequent to the period end, is an important strategic move for the SRT group. GeoVS provides the core technology and development capability for SRT to generate a new source of recurring revenue through both the licensing of the software and the bundling of software, products and data as a complete system sale.

In a little over ten years, since its first mandate by the International Maritime Organisation on large vessels for anti-collision purposes, AIS has evolved to become the leading technology for next generation maritime domain awareness, encompassing a wide range of applications from vessel tracking and fisheries management to pollution control and marine security. Our investment over that period has enabled SRT to create a complete range of customisable AIS products which are now the established market leaders and a global network of over 140 customers targeting the various geographic and application maritime market segments.

The challenge for SRT and our customers remains one of anticipating precise market timing and the achievement of full year market forecasts remains dependent on the timing of the implementation of a number of substantial projects and mandates, for which the stock has been ordered, crystallising before the year end. Despite these difficulties of short term forecasting, we look forward with confidence to continuing our long term growth trajectory as the global vessel tracking market gathers pace.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies as applied by the group are the same as those applied by the Group in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013 except that IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement' has been adopted from 1 January 2013 and IAS 1 (revised) 'Presentation of items of other comprehensive income' has been adopted from 1 July 2012. The adoption of these standards has had no material effect on the results of the Group.

2. Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share have been calculated using the loss for the period of £434,440 (six months ended 30 September, 2012 - profit of £145,500; year ended 31 March, 2013 profit of £1,503,757) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue of 115,919,774 (six months ended 30 September, 2012, 115,041,340 and year ended 31 March, 2013 - 115,447,244). The group has incurred losses for the current period and therefore there is no impact of the share options granted on diluted earnings per share. During the six months ended September 2012 the diluted earnings per share for the period have been calculated using weighted diluted shares of 117,826,342.
