INTERIM RESULTS AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS PERIODED 30 SEPTEMBER 2017
Falanx Group Limited (AIM: FLX), a cyber defence and intelligence service provider working with blue chip and government clients worldwide, is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2017.
The Board is pleased to announce robust growth and believes Falanx is on track to deliver against markets expectations of achieving profitability in the year.
Period Highlights
Financial
-- Continued growth across all service lines with significant growth in revenue year on year
o Group Revenue +18% increase
o Cyber Revenues +40% increase
o Intelligence Revenues +9% increase
-- Cash balance of over GBP1m on 30(th) Sept 2017 (Sept 2016: GBP0.8m) -- Balance sheet entirely equity financed and debt free
-- Oversubscribed placing of GBP2m of equity in May 2017 used to undertake acquisitions, seed the development of MidGARD and augment growth
Operational
-- Launch of MidGARD, our proprietary Advanced Threat Detection platform at the UK's leading ethical hacking conference, resulting in highly positive industry feedback
-- Acquisitions of Cloudified Ltd and AuditSec Ltd, increasing market reach and proprietary IP embedded in MidGARD
-- Appointment of highly experienced Director of Intelligence division and an industry leading Chief Technology Officer of Cyber division, further strengthening the management team
Outlook and Strategy
Cyber
The MidGARD monitoring business model represents the latest innovation in advanced threat detection and security incident and event management. It brings together big data analytics and external intelligence aggregation, backed up with our own live Security Operations Centre based in the UK, manned by UK Security Cleared Staff. This generates predictable recurring revenues over multi-year customer contracts. These contracts have attractive margin and cash generation attributes. Our investment in this Cloud based platform allows a high level of operational leverage and scalability to support expected customer growth and high customer retention rates are expected.
The board believes therefore that such a platform can deliver strong cash generation against a demand fuelled by powerful market and regulatory drivers. As a result, our acquisition strategy so far has been to obtain complimentary cyber service businesses, such as Consulting and Assessment, which results in demand for Monitoring services being cross-sold into the MidGARD platform.
Intelligence
Falanx Assynt covers geo-political intelligence in 35 countries and regions, corporate business information and due diligence and has intelligence staff embedded within our clients' own offices. It has delivered organic growth of 9% over the six months to September 2017. With the arrival of a new Managing Director in late July, together with an enhanced senior team, the capacity to drive the level of organic growth over the next year is greatly enhanced.
Client retention in the Assynt Report business and embedded analyst service remains very high with the addition of two additional high profile clients in the past six months, provides clear visibility of forward revenue. The Intelligence Consulting business continues to enjoy strong growth, generating additional revenues from individual assignments
Mike Read, Chairman and Acting CEO of Falanx, commented:
"The advent of the General Data Protection Requirement (GDPR) and the need for corporates to be compliant is further fuelling a growth Cyber market. Combined with rapidly increasing corporate migration to Cloud based applications, increasing costs of in-house IT and security solutions and a growing cyber 'skills gap' in the UK, we continue to view market conditions for our Cyber services as highly favourable for the foreseeable future.
"Our intelligence business under its product name Assynt has been extremely busy. This is driven by the continued unrest in the world and the need for our research team to brief our customers on all the activities in a timely manner. More multinational customers are now seeing the need for regular briefings to protect their people and operations worldwide.
"We believe our strategies have positioned the Company well, against highly attractive market opportunities and our business model will generate long-term, growing, cash flows to drive shareholder value."

FALANX GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIODED 30 SEPTEMBER 2017
1. General information
Falanx (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") operate in the security and intelligence markets.
The Company is a public limited company which is listed on AIM on the London Stock Exchange and is incorporated and domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. The address of its registered office is PO Box 173, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
2. Basis of preparation
These interim statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). They do not contain all of the information required for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017. These interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act.
The interim financial information have not been reviewed nor audited by the auditors. The interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on 14 November 2017. The information for the year ended 31 March 2016 is extracted from the statutory financial statements for that year which have been reported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The audit report was unqualified.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended and as at 31 March 2017. The interim report is the responsibility of, and has been, approved by the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial statements in accordance with the AIM rules for Companies.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, in the case of the Group being IFRS as adopted by the European Union, requires the Directors to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. Such estimates and judgements must be continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies were the same as those applied in the last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017.
4. Segmental reporting
The Directors consider that the Group's internal financial reporting is organised along product and service lines and, therefore, segmental information has been presented about business segments. The segmental analysis of the Group's business was derived from its principal activities as set out below. The information below also comprises the disclosures required by IFRS 8 in respect of products and services as the Directors consider that the products and services sold by the disclosed segments are essentially similar and, therefore, no additional disclosure in respect of products and services is required. The other segment below and overleaf is made up of the parent company's administrative operation.
