Operational Review

In 2016 both divisions made significant operational progress as new products and technologies continued to replace legacy products. The Group was successful in advancing its sales and marketing strategies, with its business units in both divisions achieving milestones in targeting new areas that the Group had identified as growth markets.

Total Group revenues in 2016 were $90.4m (2015: $97.1m), of which the Bio-Medical division accounted for 57% with the contribution from the Networking and Cyber division being 43%.

Distribution

Sales were flat year-on-year and contributed approximately 68% of the Bio-Medical division revenues. There was an increase in Romania in the volume of Abbott products being distributed and the relationship was expanded with the Group starting to provide maintenance to some Abbott products as well as those of other customers. Abbott is one of the top three vendors in this field in this territory and the distribution of its products carries a higher margin. As a result, the gross margin in 2016 improved to 24% compared with 22% in 2015.

In the first half of the year, the Group acquired the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Green Lab Hungary Engineering Ltd ("Green Lab"), a Hungary-based developer and distributor of analytical instruments for environmental and industrial sectors, for a total consideration of $3.8m payable in cash over a three-year period. The Group expects the Distribution unit to benefit from the synergies with the Green Lab operations in Hungary and from Green Lab's extensive network. Since acquisition, the integration has progressed well, with Green Lab continuing to achieve a good level of sales and profitability.

Facilitated by the Green Lab acquisition, the Group opened two new diagnostics laboratories in Romania during the year: an analytics lab in Timisoara and a genetic lab in Bucharest. The Group will use these labs to provide customers' products and diagnostic tests to end customers, thereby establishing a footprint in the end-customer market.

Post period and as announced on 6 February 2017, BATM entered into an agreement to purchase the entire issued share capital of Zer Laboratories, which is the largest private diagnostic laboratory in Israel for clinical tests, mainly providing prenatal screening tests for Down's Syndrome, genetic tests and additional tests performed during IVF and fertility treatments, for a consideration of NIS 2.75m (c. GBP580,000) payable in cash (the "Acquisition"). BATM expects the Acquisition to enable it to capture the growth market in non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPT) in Israel and Europe, enhancing the activities of the Group's genetic lab in Bucharest.

Pathogenic Waste Treatment and Sterilisation

The Pathogenic Waste Treatment and Sterilisation unit accounted for 11% of the Bio-Medical division's revenues in 2016 compared with 16% of revenues in 2015, reflecting a reduction in sales. This decrease is primarily due to the implementation of the strategic decision to transition from sales of control systems and products for treating medical waste to new, larger solutions developed for the biopharma and agri-business sectors. The unit continues to focus on the treatment of biological waste, based on its unique patented Integrated Shredder and Steriliser ("ISS") technology, which it is leveraging to apply to industries where the solutions have a higher value and greater market potential.

During the year, the Group successfully delivered on its contract with CEVA, one of the world's largest manufacturers of vaccines for animal health, to provide its biological waste solution developed for the biopharmaceutical industry, which was the Group's first significant contract for this new solution. An order for a second unit was received from CEVA in Q4 2016.

The Group also made progress during the year in the agri-business sector. It delivered on its first significant contract for its new agri-waste treatment solution, which was for a poultry farming company, as well as providing an initial unit at a bovine slaughterhouse facility for the largest and leading food group in Israel. Following the successful installation and operation of this initial unit, the customer ordered a second, larger unit for the same facility. The project is progressing well and installation is due to commence in H2 2017.

This unit also benefits from synergies with Green Lab, which has already provided access to a larger number of markets for the ecologic solutions of the Pathogenic Waste Treatment and Sterilisation business.

As announced yesterday, the Group has launched the world's first mobile agri-waste treatment solution and has been awarded a contract of $2.5m for the delivery of a mobile unit. The solution will be deployed by the customer for the safe disposal of mass poultry affected by disease and illness. The Group has received an advance payment from the customer of $1m with delivery of the product expected to commence in H2 2017 and due to complete in Q1 2018.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics unit represented 20% of Bio-Medical division revenues in 2016 compared with 17% during 2015 reflecting an increase in revenues of 16%. This was primarily due to the increased sales of machines as well as production and sales of reagents. The five largest geographical markets for the Diagnostics unit are China, UAE, Italy, Germany and Spain.

During the year the Group sold 505 instruments to multiple new and existing customers compared with 462 in 2015. In addition, production of reagents increased 14% in 2016 over the prior year.

Progress was made by the Group's joint venture company, Ador, established in December 2015 with Gamida for Life ("Gamida"), an international group of companies focused on healthcare and life sciences, in preparing for the production and marketing of a unique, rapid-results molecular diagnostics system, and a selection of reagent kits. The new instrument and reagents are expected to reach the market during H2 2017.

A significant milestone was achieved when the Group's diagnostics subsidiary, Adaltis, entered into an investment agreement and a strategic joint venture with its Chinese partner, Egens, a leading biotechnology company combining biological material development and diagnostic reagent manufacturing. Under the terms of the agreement, Egens purchased RMB20m (c. $2.9m) of new shares in Adaltis, equivalent to 4.93% of Adaltis' enlarged share capital, valuing Adaltis at approximately $58m.

In addition, BATM intends to use Zer Laboratories for launching new, advanced diagnostic DNA-based tests in Israel, and as a local reference lab, together with several reputable European- and US-based labs, for new molecular biology solutions from Adaltis.

  profit (loss)        $0.0m     $(2.2m)   $(2.2m)   $0.1m 
--------------------  --------  --------  --------  -------- 
 

In 2016, there was a $5.6m decrease in revenues to $38.5m as the division continued to wind down the legacy products business. Gross profit margin was maintained at 40% and adjusted operating loss for 2016 was $2.2m (2015: $0.1m profit).

The Group's wholly-owned Telco Systems subsidiary gained over 58 new customers in the period compared with 22 new customers in 2015. This included the successful deployment of a new high capacity Carrier Ethernet network for the Kenya Education Network and the award of a multi-year contract to provide a managed MPLS solution by a major provider of high-speed network and ICT services to education and research facilities in Australia.

Telco Systems continued to invest in its leading-edge technology and solutions and added 100GE capabilities to its new aggregation and ATCA solutions to meet the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth. During the period, it completed a project extension to a Tier 1 network service provider in Southeast Asia with the deployment of a 10GE solution to expand the customer's broadband capacity in compliance with latest industry standards. In addition, its CloudMetro (SDN & D-NFV) platform is gaining momentum with Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and dozens of POC trials were conducted successfully, including with Tier 1 operators.

The Cyber unit was awarded a significant contract as the leading supplier for the delivery of an Information Communication Technology solution combined with several cyber elements to a government defence department, which is the second such contract awarded to BATM by a national government. The delivery of the contract was scheduled to commence in 2016, however, due to a counterparty being late in integrating their services, the delivery and completion of the project has been deferred to 2017. The Group's customer has amended this contract with the total value increasing to $5.2m from $4.5m, over a period of up to three years. The Cyber unit also conducted several POC trials with Tier 1 companies and government agencies.

Financial Review

Revenues in 2016 decreased to $90.4m (2015: $97.1m), mainly due to a reduction in sales in the Networking and Cyber division.

The blended gross profit margin for the year was 31.4% (2015: 31.8%). This decrease is mostly due to a decrease in the gross margin of the Pathogenic Waste Treatment and Sterilisation unit as a result of the transition of that business as described above.

Sales and marketing expenses were $14.3m (2015: $14.4m), representing 16% of revenues compared with 15% in 2015.

General and administrative expenses were $9.6m (2015: $9.6m), representing 11% of revenues compared with 10% in 2015.

R&D investment in 2016 increased to $7.6m (2015: $6.7m). This increase of $0.9m was primarily due to investment in the Cyber unit.

Adjusted operating profit amounted to $0.9m (2015: $0.7m profit).

The Group's balance sheet remains strong with effective liquidity of $27.6m at 31 December 2016 compared with $18.6m at 30 June 2016 and $23.8m at 31 December 2015. Period-end cash is comprised as follows: cash and deposits up to three months duration of $22.0m and short-term cash deposits up to one year and held for trading bonds of $5.6m. The increase in cash balances is a result of the proceeds received from the disposal of one of the Group's properties and an improvement in working capital.

Inventory was $20.5m (30 June 2016: $20.9m; 31 December 2015: $22.6m). The decrease is due to a lower level of inventory in Romania and in the Networking and Cyber division. Trade and other receivables stood at $28.1m (30 June 2016: $28.1m; 31 December 2015: $31.2m), with the decline compared with the prior year being mostly due to a decrease in trade receivables in the Networking and Cyber division.

Intangible assets and goodwill was $20.6m (30 June 2016: $20.2m; 31 December 2015 $15.6m). This increase compared with the prior year was mostly due to the investment in Green Lab.

Property, plant and equipment and investment property decreased to $17.7m (30 June 2016: $23.2m; 31 December 2015: $21.9m). The decrease is due to the disposal of one of the Group's properties and depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

The balance of trade and other payables was $26.9m (30 June 2016: $22.6m; 31 December 2015: $27.4m).

Cash inflow from operating activities was $0.9m for 2016, compared with an outflow of $2.2m for the prior year, due to an improvement in working capital and decrease in tax payments.

Outlook

The underlying businesses within BATM are robust with significant commercial development in most units, laying the foundations for a sustainable recovery and growth. Additionally, there is a significant inherent value in the Group with Adaltis valued at $58m post investment by its Chinese partner and a strong IP portfolio with 40 patents across BATM.

Looking ahead, the Group remains optimistic in its outlook due to the visibility of revenues from contracts already signed as well as growth in the Bio-Medical division. The Diagnostics business is expected to continue to grow as it is well positioned to capture market share in the Chinese diagnostics market. Additionally, the investments made in the Pathogenic Waste Treatment and Sterilisation unit in 2016 are expected to show positive results this year. The Cyber unit is also expected to grow through the addition of new customers as well as delivery on the contract delayed from last year. Consequently, the Board looks to the future with increased confidence.
