SigmaRoc PLC
30 September 2016
SIGMAROC PLC
(formerly Messaging International plc)
Interim Results for the period ended 30 June 2016
SigmaRoc plc ('SigmaRoc' or the 'Company'), the AIM traded company (ticker: SRC), announces its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2016, representing the operations of Messaging International plc ('MI') and its subsidiary TeleMessage Ltd ('TeleMessage', together the 'Group'). The Company announced on 22 August 2016 the disposal of its TeleMessage subsidiary and changes to its activity, details of which are outlined below.
Overview
-- Disposal of TeleMessage subsidiary post period end;
-- Company name changed to SigmaRoc plc with new strategy to pursue acquisitions in the construction materials sectors;
-- Change of Board;
-- Gross revenues of GBP1,959,096 up 13% from GBP1,730,535 in H1 2015; and
-- Pre-tax profit for the period of GBP272,509 (H1 2015 loss of GBP85,502).
CEO's Statement
At the end of the period under review, the Company saw a change of direction, both in terms of sector focus and Company strategy. The financial information presented herein represents the Company under its former guise. TeleMessage was taken private following the passing of certain resolutions at the Company's General Meeting ('GM'), held on 22 August 2016. Following the GM, a new Board was appointed with the vision to pursue the new Company strategy, under the name SigmaRoc.
Before commenting on the new direction of SigmaRoc it is worth considering the most recent developments of Messaging International. As described in the last annual report, the Group was transitioning from its legacy Text-to-Landline product to a new offering focused on the Secure Mobile Messaging for Enterprises and also the "Mass Messaging" solution for Enterprises. The further development of these new products and in particular the marketing and sales efforts required a substantial investment. On the back of these developments a consortium of shareholders within MI decided to put forward a proposition to take TeleMessage private which was approved by shareholders at the GM. As a consequence of the GM, the remaining cash shell listed on the AIM market became the starting point for a new venture under new management and with a new name, SigmaRoc plc.
SigmaRoc's business model is a buy and build strategy in the construction materials space. The Company's focus will be on cash generative assets, located in niche and frontier markets that produce aggregates, concrete, pre-cast concrete and other related materials. These materials are in high demand in rapidly growing frontier economies and experience steady but consistently reliable demand in niche markets.
In selecting investment and/or acquisition opportunities, SigmaRoc will focus on three types of business:
-- Businesses, assets and/or projects in markets where anticipated structural change can lead to growth or consolidation within the construction materials sector;
-- Businesses which present a steady cash flow opportunity allowing the Board to build a baseline income to sustain its further expansion projects; and
-- Businesses or projects which present a clear opportunity for the Board to take advantage of cyclical dips within established production majors.
The new Board members appointed at the GM were David Barrett and Dominic Traynor as non-executive Directors, with Max Vermorken as Managing Director/CEO of the new business. All three directors have strong credentials and collectively have extensive relevant experience of the sector, geography and transactions that SigmaRoc is likely to pursue.
The Board is fortunate to have an ambitious and focused team that brings extensive experience and contacts in the sector.
Since the GM and unveiling of the new strategy, many investors and interested parties have made inquiries and the Board is encouraged by the interest received. Shareholders will naturally understand that the investment strategy set out for SigmaRoc is ambitious and one which requires solid due diligence and analysis of potential targets. The Board looks forward to announcing details of its first acquisition in due course.
Funding
On 22 August 2016, the Company raised GBP500,000 (before expenses) by way of a placing of 208,333,333 new ordinary shares of GBP0.001 each in the capital of the Company at a price of GBP0.0024 (the 'Placing').
The net proceeds of the Placing provided the Company with working capital to conduct due diligence on potential acquisition opportunities in line with the Company's new strategy.
Financial Results
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2016, the Group is reporting a pre-tax profit of GBP272,509 (30 June 2015: loss of GBP85,502) based on gross revenues of GBP1,959,096 (30 June 2015: GBP1,730,535).
Outlook
The Board looks forward to using the opportunity granted by the investment community to build out its strategy into a solid cash flow generative business with significant growth potential. Its focus is entirely on generating long term attractive returns for investors. It will therefore continue its current efforts of identifying the right opportunities for the Company and mobilising its intellectual capital, aiming to achieve an excellent result for shareholders.
I would like to thank SigmaRoc's shareholders and advisers for their support going forward and I look forward to updating the market with further news in due course.

Notes to the interim report
For the six months ended 30 June 2016 (continued)
3. Taxation
The tax charge in the six months ended 30 June 2016 represented amounts due for US State tax in relation to the profits of TeleMessage Inc. based in the USA. U.S. operating losses from previous years are subject to annual limitations due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions.
No further provision has been made for taxation as there are losses available to carry forward against future trading profits. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in accordance with International Accounting Standard 12.
4. Basic and diluted loss per share
For the six months ended 30 June 2016, basic earnings per share has been calculated on the Group's profit attributable to owners the Company of GBP272,333 and on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, which was 115,872,147.
For the six months ended 30 June 2015, basic loss per share has been calculated on the Group's loss attributable to owners the Company of GBP85,502 and on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, which was 115,872,147.
For the six month periods ended 30 June 2016, diluted earnings per share has been calculated on the Group's profit attributable to owners the Company of GBP272,333 and on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year plus share options and warrants to subscribe for shares in the company which together total 159,025,429.
For the six month ended 30 June 2015 share options and warrants are anti-dilutive and for that reason the diluted earnings per share information is the same as the basic loss per share.
For the year ended 31 December 2015, basic loss per share has been calculated on the Group's loss of GBP275,646 and on the weighted average number of shares in issue in 2015 of 115,872,147.
