CHAIRMANS STATEMENT

Β 

The unaudited results for the period ended 30 June 2019 were in line with management's internal expectations, with revenues level at $3.1m (H1 2018: $3.1m). The gross margin increased to 41% (H1 2018: 40%) and EBITDA increased to approximately $75,000 from a loss of $40,000 in H1 2018.

Β 

The main focus of the Company over the last few months has been the launch of the "Lokies", our new revolutionary padlock and the preparations for its mass production. Lokies is a smart keyless padlock with innovative IoT capabilities, enabling remote, over the air connectivity which removes the requirement for a key to unlock it. In addition, Lokies has a specially designed extendable shackle equipped with proprietary technology which can detect any attempts to breach the lock. The board has high expectations for Lokies and is very encouraged by feedback from clients and prospective clients so far.

Β 

The second product that is a central to the Company's growth strategy is the Tetis. The Company is collaborating with major companies in the containers monitoring segment, such as Cargo Signal and Swiss based Arviem AG. The Company is building a long-term strategy based around the Tetis devices and, along with the strong relationship it has built with WIMC, the management believes it will be one the catalysts for the Company's future growth.

Β 

In parallel, activity across all other products has been at a high level. The percentage of total sales attributed to our traditional Helios product, which is our lower margin product, continues to decrease although from time to time opportunistic contracts, such as the North African distributor contract, which was announced in November 2018, may distort this trend as it expected to make a major contribution to revenue in the current year. This contract is progressing as planned.

Β 

We are pleased to report that a new contract for Helios Hybrid products with a value of approximately $400,000 has recently been signed with a West African distributor for delivery in the second half of this year. This contract will lead to recurring SaaS revenue stream in future years.

Β 

The strategic relationship with Zero Motorcycles Inc. in the USA is progressing well. Initial orders for the integrated Helios units are, as expected, low at this stage but the response to the new motorbikes has been positive and orders are expected to increase later this year and into next year. The Directors consider that this relationship presents a significant growth opportunity as the market for electric motorbikes increases.

Β 

The relationship with CubeMonk in the USA is also very positive, with the Company receiving new orders since the initial contract was signed in February 2019. Cubemonk has developed the world's first smart shipping container and storage unit powered by IoT using Starcom's Kylos Air product.

Β 

Initial orders of Kylos Forever units have been received pursuant to the Company's contract with Israel Chemicals Limited. These orders have been delivered and it is expected these will increase in the near future. The Starcom units enable this global business to monitor the dangerous ICL chemicals as they are shipped across the globe. Another version of Kylos is used by Bosch, which has now launched its Kylos Air product and we await feedback on the results of this launch.

Β 

Appointments during the Period

Β 

During the period the Board were pleased to welcome Mr Martin Blair to the board as a non-Executive Director. In addition, Mr David Avner was appointed as a consultant to the Company in May 2019 and is working closely with management to develop the strategy in upgrading the marketing and sales capabilities. This is being achieved through engaging with quality partners and capitalising on Starcom's leading technology in the tracking systems.

Β 

Update on Auditor

Β 

Following the withdrawal of Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co. Certified Public Accountants, aΒ firmΒ in the Deloitte Global Network, to act as auditors to the Company, the Board decided to appoint its previous audit firm, Barzily & Co.

Β 

Financial report

Β 

Group revenues for the Period were $3.1m, compared with $3.1m for the six months ended 30 June 2018, demonstrating stability of sales within the first half of 2019.

Β 

Recurring SaaS revenues improved slightly to $900,000 (H1 2018: $890,000).

Β 

The gross margin for the Period was 41%, compared with 40% for the equivalent period in 2018.

Β 

Total operating expenditure decreased 4.5% to $1.6m (H1 2018: $1.7m and, as a result, the operating loss in the Period decreased to $0.37m compared with an operating loss of $0.51m for the six months ended 30 June 2018, representing a reduction of 27%.

Β 

The Group suffered from the weakness of US dollar exchange rate against the Israeli New Shekel, which resulted in a $69,000 exchange rate loss, despite the mitigating hedging measures undertaken by management.

Β 

The Group balance sheet showed a decrease in trade receivables to $1.57m, compared with $1.9m as at 31 December 2018, despite a slight increase in total sales. Group inventories at the Period end were $2.3m, (30 June 2018: $2.3m). Trade payables at the Period end were $1.75m (30 June 2018: Β£1.8m).

Β 

Net cash from operating activities in the Period was $13,000, compared with $0.3m for the six months ended 30 June 2018. However, following the equity fundraise completed in April 2019, net cash at 30 June 2019 was $461,000 (31 December 2018: $89,000).

Β 

Β 

OUTLOOK

Β 

The Company continues to progress the development in particular of Lokies and Tetis, which the Board considers to be Starcom's growth engines for the future. A number of new projects are under active negotiation. The Board considers the current pipeline to be stronger than the current sale pipeline at the same time a year ago. Therefore, the Board is confident that the full year results will be in line with current market expectations in terms of revenue growth and that the Company will achieve a positive EBITDA result for the year.
