Dawson Buck, Chairman, says "I am particularly pleased to present this Interim Report as it represents a significant milestone in the Group's on-going return to profitability. This is the first financial period since 2008 without any Government Project funding and profitability has been maintained despite the global economic uncertainty. We have continued a policy of investment in our portfolio of products and the expansion of our employee skill base and I would like to thank all our staff for their continuing contribution to the success of Trakm8".

Chairman's Statement

 

The first six months of this financial year have seen Trakm8 continue the positive trends of the past two years. Revenues in the period increased 46% to £2.5m (2010: £1.7m) with strong growth in both hardware sales and complete solutions. This is particularly pleasing as this has been the first six month period for three years without any Government R&D funding and the Group has been able to achieve a profit before tax of £0.02m (2010: £0.16m). Despite the completion of the Government grant projects, we have continued to invest in research and development.

 

Operational Review

 

Hardware sales of telematics units have been higher than last year in both the UK and international markets. In addition, the Group has continued to deliver telematics units as part of our on-going requirements under the St Gobain and Automobile Association ("AA") contracts announced in previous years.

 

In January 2011, we secured an order from a new customer for 6,000 units for delivery commencing in April 2011. Unfortunately, at the request of the customer, the contract has been postponed due to their own internal issues which have required their immediate focus. We remain confident that their order will be fulfilled in the coming months and we have successfully replaced this planned business with previously un-forecasted sales. As a result of these additional sales, revenue for the period has increased by 46% compared to the equivalent period last year.

 

The Group has continued to make good progress by increasing the number of units in service operating on the Trakm8 Swift platform. Continuing to increase the recurring revenues from the installed base has been positive for the financial security of the Group. At the end of September the monthly recurring revenue was 66.5% of the operating costs of the business, up from 61.7% at the end of March 2011. This strategy remains the bedrock of achieving the long term profitability goals of the Group.

 

Both of the Group's Government-funded projects have now been completed and handed over to the Technology Strategy Board ("TSB"). The projects were a huge success and the results were well received by the TSB. They have also enabled Trakm8 to capitalise on a number of new developments from the projects and there are further exciting opportunities in the pipeline.

 

Despite the end of these projects, it is particularly pleasing to report that Trakm8 has maintained a high level of investment in engineering development on our hardware, firmware and server solutions. The strong year on year improvement in trading profitability has meant that this engineering spend could be maintained and it is our intention to continue with this strategic investment.

 

Specifically, technological developments have continued in hosted server solutions, vehicle connectivity and diagnostics, emissions and fuel economy reporting and mapping software. Trakm8 has also made excellent progress in the development of additional features for the T8 hardware platforms, including driver display devices, and radio frequency identification ("RFID") solutions.

 

Trakm8 has continued to provide engineering services alongside our products. The integration of telematics based solutions into the customer's enterprise management system provides value added functionality and benefit to all parties and consolidates the commercial relationship.

 

Outlook

 

The Board is confident that the Group is delivering on the potential of the excellent people, products and services within the business despite the on-going global economic challenges. Our increased product portfolio and quality of solutions offered, along with increasing marketing activity, will continue to drive the business forward.

 

Recent order receipts and development of the pipeline for both large and small customers gives the Board confidence that the anticipated growth is based on known opportunities. Trakm8 will also benefit from the industry trend for migration to increasingly complex, integrated fleet management solutions.
