Notes to Editors

About IndigoVision

IndigoVision's business is security

IndigoVision is a leader in the design and supply of high performance, highly-intelligent video security systems for security installations of differing sizes and complexity. From video capture and transmission to analysis and storage, IndigoVision's networked video security systems provide the best quality and most secure video evidence, using market leading compression technology to minimise bandwidth and reduce storage costs.

IndigoVision is reliable

IndigoVision's unique Distributed Network Architecture removes the need for a central server. So there is greater resilience, no single point of failure, reduced latency and no network bottlenecks.

IndigoVision systems are secure and scalable

IndigoVision's system is end-to-end, a complete video/audio security solution from camera to controller, so it is both remarkably secure and remarkably stable. Offering all the reliability and compatibility benefits of a closed system, but with hardware and management software which is open, customers are able to integrate their cameras and security systems, making migration and expansion easy.

IndigoVision keeps important places safe

IndigoVision's technology is ideally suited for mission critical facilities - airports, casinos, cities, banks, police, government, oil and gas, transport, cities, education and industry. IndigoVision's systems help protect assets, improve operational efficiency, and support law enforcement.

Chairman's Statement

As announced on 8 July 2016, sales in the six month period to 30 June 2016 amounted to $21.8million. Within this, camera volumes increased markedly but this gain was offset by lower camera prices arising from continued competitive market conditions. Notwithstanding the market challenges, gross margin remained broadly in line with 2015 as a whole and within the Group's normal trading range.

Results

In the six months to 30 June 2016 revenue was $21.8m compared with $22.6m in the corresponding period last year. The volume of cameras sold in the period increased by 20%, but at lower average selling prices, as substantial price cuts by a number of far-eastern manufacturers affected the market as a whole.

Sales growth has been strong across the Middle East, with successful projects delivered in healthcare, education, finance and safe cities across the region. By contrast, Latin America remains a challenging market, due to reduced capital expenditure budgets in economies exposed to commodity prices.

Despite the reduction in camera selling prices, a gross margin of 52.1% compares favourably to the full year 2015 margin of 51.4% (H1 2015: 52.8%) as, following the withdrawal from manufacture of IndigoVision's own camera range in early 2016, the Group was able to benefit from lower camera prices by purchasing hardware at reduced prices from manufacturing partners.

Overhead reductions achieved during the second half of 2015 have been maintained, notwithstanding the one-off redundancy costs of $0.1m associated with the withdrawal from manufacture of the Group's own range of cameras. Research and development spend is being maintained at a consistent percentage of between 8% and 10% of sales to ensure that the Group continues to innovate and release a regular stream of new products. The Group's research and development is now wholly focused on a software-led end-to-end video security. The Group continues to invest in its people, with continued investment in high quality, experienced engineers and sales and marketing personnel across its core markets.

The operating loss for the six months ended 30 June 2016 was $0.3m (2015: $1.3m). As a result of the stronger US dollar, which reduced operating expenses denominated in euros and sterling when translated into US dollars, the Group benefitted from foreign exchange gains of $0.2m in the period (2015 losses: $0.2m). The loss after tax was $0.3m (2015: $0.9m), representing a loss per share of 4.1 cents (2015: 12.3 cents).

Following the challenges of 2015, working capital management has been an area of focus; net cash as at 30 June 2016 of $4.6m represented a significant improvement on the net debt of $0.5m at 30 June 2015. In addition, the Group has unutilised overdraft facilities of $4.0m.

Taxation

The Group currently has a deferred tax asset of $4.9m which arose in relation to historical trading losses. In light of the current trend in product pricing and the continuing availability of research and development tax credits, the Group intends to re-evaluate the likelihood of fully utilising its tax losses over the medium term when preparing its 2016 annual financial statements. The Board continues to expect that the Group will not pay cash tax in the foreseeable future.

Dividends

The Board continues to believe that the discipline of paying dividends to shareholders benefits the business and its planning. It is also the Board's policy that dividends relate to earnings and, given the first half loss, the Company will not pay an interim dividend this year. The Board currently expects to recommend a final dividend to shareholders when the annual results are published.

Markets and Products

IndigoVision products are used in many market sectors, using a wide range of cameras, for a variety of customers from small and medium sized enterprises to large and multinational corporations. The Group is particularly well known in the enterprise markets of airports, safe cities, banks, casinos and law enforcement. End users value the image quality, reliability and scalability of the IndigoVision system, together with the end-to-end customised solutions achieved through an extensive suite of integration modules with operational and other security software. The first half saw major project wins in Colombian safe cities, a leading bank in the Middle East and a large casino in the USA, as well as installations for the petrochemical, rail, mining, telecoms, industrial, retail and residential sectors.

The Group continues to expand its product range, offering hardware at a series of differing price points to suit end-user requirements across the SME to enterprise markets. The Group will shortly be launching a similar, three-tier version of its Control Centre video management software, which is expected to open up segments of the market where IndigoVision has not operated historically. This broadening of the product offering is expected to create additional sales opportunities and to help to reduce the volatility which arises from the Group's exposure to individually large projects in developing economies.

Board Changes

After nine years with the Group, the last four of which were as CFO, Holly McComb stepped down from the Board on 31 May 2016. I would like to thank Holly for her valuable contribution over that time. Holly's successor, Chris Lea, was appointed as a Director on 19 May 2016 and took up his role as CFO effective 4 July 2016.

Outlook

After a quiet start to 2016, the Group experienced an improving trend in financial results as the first half progressed. The pipeline of large projects for the second half is stronger than the first half and, although market conditions remain highly competitive and the timing of a number of customer projects remains uncertain, the Group currently anticipates a satisfactory operating result for the year as a whole.

 3.   Taxation 
 

The tax charge in the current period represents foreign taxes paid.

Other receivables at 30 June 2016 include a corporation tax refund due of $0.5m (2015: $0.3m)

No provision for corporation tax is required due to the substantial tax losses available for offset against future taxable profits. At 30 June 2016 such losses amounted to $24.2m, at a corporate tax rate of 20%, this is equivalent to a deferred tax asset in relation to these trading losses of $4.9m, which has been fully recognised in the financial statements.
