Chairman's Statement

For the six months ended 30 September 2014, revenue and profit before tax were £5.4 million and £517,000 respectively. As at 30 September 2014, the Group had cash of £2.6 million, with drawn down borrowings of £1.0 million and stock valued at cost of £5.0 million, manufactured for pending orders.

The gross margin for the Period was 55%, reflecting the greater weighting of project business during the Period over lower margin core, OEM and module business. We continue to expect our gross margin to average around 50% over a 12 month period. Group cash overheads, inclusive of administration and research and development costs, but excluding amortisation and depreciation, increased to £2.6 million from £2.0 million in the corresponding period last year. This was due to the impact of the acquisition of SRT Marine System Solutions Ltd (formerly GeoVs Ltd) in October 2013, together with increased investment in new product development.

During the Period, whilst our market penetration and market share targets were achieved, the generally subdued economic landscape resulted in sales derived from the non-mandated leisure and commercial market sectors for onboard AIS transceivers to be below our expectations. However, this segment remains an important opportunity for SRT due to an expected long-term trend of AIS penetration matching that of radar. Our investment in core technology, derivative products and relevant OEM and module customers ensures that sales from this segment will grow with general market demand in the future.

Demand from existing mandates such as in Russia and the EU Inland Waterways and Fisheries, both of which had final deadlines during calendar year 2014, is expected to be second half weighted due to enforcement schedules and therefore made little contribution during the Period. The long pending USA mandate remains outstanding, but at the time of this statement the scheduled implementation appears likely to start to generate revenues for the Group during the second half.

Driven by a widespread requirement to track and monitor fishing fleets and other small commercial vessels, our project business was focused on the conversion of a major Middle East opportunity during the Period, accelerated progression of most existing project opportunities and the addition of several new opportunities. Most of these are very significant projects and take time to reach their implementation stage and revenue generation for SRT. However, we now have a considerable pipeline of these opportunities, some of which are expected to reach their implementation phase in the near future. Again, our investments in technologies such as ABSEA and GeoVS dynamic 3D visualisation, coupled with established local customers, is now starting to bear fruit as demonstrated by the project conversion during the Period.

For the first time our fledgling AtoN business started to make meaningful progress in respect of developing a pipeline of sales opportunities through an increasingly established sales network. We have continued to invest in new product development both on the transceiver and display side, as well as commencing a sustained marketing programme to train our customers and educate the market.

During the second half we expect our core OEM and module business to remain flat, but see our projects and mandates business performing strongly due to existing and new mandates along with the conversion of some significant vessel tracking projects into their implementation phases. We anticipate that AtoN will continue to make steady progress, and the recent launch of the first series of stand-alone GeoVS licences and ABSEA related data sales could see SRT generating its first recurring revenue.

Finally, we were pleased that during the period the broadening of our revenue sources across multiple market segments have smoothed our overall financial performance. We have delivered a 71% increase in revenues compared to the same period last year despite one of our target segments experiencing a lull in its long-term growth trend. Our leading position within the global AIS market will continue to drive the growth of our company and with a significant pipeline of future opportunities we look forward to a busy second half and beyond.

The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2014 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.

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 2014 except that IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements' and IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities' have been adopted from 1 January 2014. 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 profit for the period of £942,591 (six months ended 30 September, 2013 - loss of £434,440; year ended 31 March, 2014 - loss of £1,506,374) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue of 123,111,982 (six months ended 30 September, 2013, 115,919,774 and year ended 31 March, 2014 117,355,526).

During the 6 months ended 30 September 2014, the diluted earnings per share have been calculated using weighted diluted shares of 125,919,549. During the six months ended 30 September 2013 and year ended 31 March 2014 the group has incurred losses for the period and therefore there is no impact of the share options granted on diluted earnings per share.

3. Income tax credit

During the period, the Group received income tax credits of £425,469 in respect of its Research and Development activities.

4. Called up share capital

a) The shares issued on acquisition were as consideration for the investment in SRT Marine System Solutions Limited (formerly Geovs Ltd). The shares were issued at a price of 30.25p per share resulting in a total consideration of £932,500.

b) The placing in July 2014 took place at 18p per share raising gross proceeds of £1,521,000 before costs of £68,099.
