Final Results and Notice of Annual General Meeting

Windar Photonics plc (AIM:WPHO), the technology group that has developed a cost efficient and innovative LiDAR wind sensor for use on electricity generating wind turbines, is pleased to announce its final results for the year ended 31 December 2016.

FY2016 Highlights

-- Revenue growth in 2016 of 26 per cent to EUR1.2 million (2015: EUR0.9 million), after deferring EUR0.2m of revenue due to the timing of deliveries. Actual despatches in 2016 amounted to EUR1.4m, an increase on 2015 of 48% -- Gross profit increased by 113 per cent to EUR0.6 million (2015: EUR0.3 million) -- The Group held cash balances at the end of the year of EUR783,166 (2015: EUR593,907) Current cash and debtors, net of factoring, is in excess of EUR600,000 -- Good progress with several of our OEM test programmes edging closer to turbine platform design contracts with a potential to have a significant impact on the Company's prospects and activity level -- Expanded product features to include detection of Turbulence Intensity, Wind Shear Intensity and Wake Intensity, adding additional wind turbine optimisation opportunities -- Implemented a new strategic approach to the IPP market segment by appointing seven new non-exclusive distributors to increase our market presence and at the same time reduce operating expenditure -- Reduction of the loss from operations in 2016 due to cost reduction in the second half of 2016 -- Further equity support received during the year of GBP1.9 million

Post period highlights

-- Acceleration of revenue growth from 2016 with revenue and new orders as per the end of April 2017 already exceeding the full year revenue in 2016 -- Further increased our non-exclusive distribution network to include 15 distributors worldwide at the end of May 2017 -- Continued reduction of the loss from operation in 2017 due to increased revenue and further reductions at the operating expenditure level

Jørgen Korsgaard Jensen, CEO of Windar, commented:

"2016 was a year with many challenges but at the same time many opportunities. We added important new capabilities to our product range opening up even further wind turbine optimisation opportunities using our products, and even though not contributing to our overall revenue growth in 2016, we made significant progress within several OEM test programmes in the year. These programmes are essential to supporting our long term revenue targets. Within the IPP market segment we also made important progress in 2016 which has continued into 2017 where we have seen strong growth especially in Asia. In the second half of 2016 we reviewed our overall operating expenses in the Group, which is the primary reason for the improved operational performance in the second half of 2016 which improvements have continued in 2017.

The Company is now looking to build upon its proven technology and pipeline of opportunities and is pleased with the progress made already in 2017. The Board remains confident for 2017 and for the future."

Chairman's statement

Dear Shareholders,

For the full year ending 31 December 2016, the Group achieved revenue of EUR1.2 million (2015 EUR0.9 million) after deferring EUR0.2m of revenue due to the timing of deliveries. Actual despatches in 2016 amounted to EUR1.4m, an increase on 2015 of 48%.

We also achieved a reduction in our net loss for the year to EUR3.2 million (2015 EUR3.8 million) which included depreciation, amortisation and warrant costs of EUR0.7 million (2015 EUR0.7 million). The net loss for the second half of 2016 was reduced sharply compared to the same period in 2015 to a net loss of EUR1.3 million (2015 EUR2.3 million).

The Group held cash balances at the end of the year of EUR783,166 (2015: EUR593,907).

During the year the Group raised GBP1.9 million before expenses in three tranches. In addition to the capital raising during the year the Group put in place a factoring facility with an initial facility of up to EUR400,000 with an intention to increase the facility up to EUR1.5 million, as the Group made further progress with orders. At the year end the Group had drawn down EUR239,528 from this facility. The Group is also pleased to have financed the sale of 20 LiDAR units in China with Denmark's export credit agency, Eksport Kredit Fonden ("EKF").

In 2015 the Group successfully completed the development of its WindVision(TM) systems (four beam LiDAR system), to sit alongside the proven two beam WindEye(TM) LiDAR system. This development work included the introduction of new electronic and beam switching technology platforms. In 2016 we successfully completed the migration of that same technology platform into our existing WindEye(TM) product line, which has aligned and simplified all of Windar's products.

In the second half of 2016 the Group concentrated its development resources towards wind turbine integration and turbine optimisation solutions. By far the most important development in 2016 was the start of our new wake detection and turbine optimisation programme launched in conjunction with several International Research Institutes. This has already led to new orders and test programmes initiated with both existing and new OEM and IPP customers for both our WindEye(TM) and WindVision(TM) systems. The Wake detection and turbine optimisation programme is financially supported by an Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program ("EUDP") in conjunction with the project partner Danish Technological University, Department of Wind Energy and includes a combined cash grant of EUR1.0 million over the coming 24 months that is to be split equally between the project partners.

Having initially focused on measuring Wind Direction for optimising Turbine Yaw misalignment, today our product range includes detection of Wind Speed, Wind Gust, Turbulence Intensity, Wind Shear intensity and the above-mentioned Wake Intensity bringing additional opportunities for various turbine optimisation. These additional capabilities (obtained without increasing the cost base of our products) have positioned us favourably with both the OEM and IPP market segments and is expected to support our future growth expectations.

The Group has capitalised its continued cost of investment in technology during the year. This amounts to EUR474,435 (2015: EUR570,087) before grants of EUR48,420 (2015: EUR261,065).

Given our stable and strong LiDAR product platforms, which are increasingly being integrated directly into turbine operating systems, we believe we are well placed to further our progress in both the Original Equipment Turbine Manufacturer ("OEMs") market and also with Independent Power Producers and Wind Farm Owners ("IPPs") with validation and support from the turbine manufacturers.

During 2016 the Group made very important progress in respect of test projects with several major OEMs. Some of these projects have now been ongoing for more than two years, and based on some of these test projects the Board do expect to realise turbine design wins with Windar's LiDAR technology included in the near future. The development of these discussions to the follow-on contract stage are likely to have a significant effect on the Group's prospects and activity levels.

During the second half of 2016 the Group changed its general sales and marketing approach to focus primarily on the IPP market. A key part of the strategic change has been to establish an external non-exclusive regional, distribution network for the Group's LiDAR based products. At the end of 2016 we had entered into seven regional distribution agreements globally and the network has since been expanded to fifteen at the end of May 2017. This strategic approach is intended to increase our global market presence while reducing our overall operating expenses. We have already seen positive signs that this approach is working, with initial orders being received from certain of our partners and their clients, and the Board expects to see the further positive results of this strategic change with increased IPP market penetration in 2017.

2017 has started well with total order intake during the first four months of the year showing an accelerated growth over 2016.

Overall, the Group remains very confident for 2017 and the future, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank the management and staff for their efforts in 2016.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARED 31 DECEMBER 2016

   1.   General information 

The Company is a public limited company domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated under registered number 09024532 in England and Wales. The Company's registered office is 3 More London Riverside, London, SE1 2AQ.

The Group was formed when the Company acquired on 29 August 2014 the entire share capital of Windar Photonics A/S, a company registered in Denmark though the issue of Ordinary Shares.

The financial information set out below does not constitute the company's statutory accounts for 2016 or 2015. Statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 have been reported on by the Independent Auditors. The Independent Auditors' Reports on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 were unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016 will be delivered to the Registrar in due course.

   2.   Going Concern 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Based on the Group's latest trading expectations and associated cash flow forecasts, the directors have considered the cash requirements of the Group. The directors are confident that based on the group's forecasts and projections, taking account of possible changes in trading performance, no further funding will be required and are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operation for the review period, namely 12 months from the date of these financial statements. It is on that basis they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.

   3.   Basis of preparation 

The consolidated financial statements comprises the consolidated financial information of the Group as at 31 December 2016 and are prepared under the historic cost convention, except for the following:

   --      share based payments and warrant cost 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial information are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

The financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (collectively "IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union ("adopted IFRSs").

The acquisition of the subsidiary in 2014 was deemed to be a business combination under common control as the ultimate control before and after the acquisition was the same. As a result, the transaction is outside the scope of IFRS 3 and has been included under the principles of merger accounting by reference to UK GAAP.

Warrants

Warrants are granted to Directors and employees. In 2014, warrants were issued to Martin Rambusch, John Weston and Simon Barrell, all Directors in the Company. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the warrants in cash. The warrants are exercisable immediately from time of grant and lapse at 31 December 2017 but the directors have to remain employed to be able to exercise the warrants so on that basis the charge is being recognised over the periods ending 31 December 2017.

Warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model and no performance conditions are included in the fair value calculations. The risk free rate was 1.15%. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the AIM market over the last two years and is estimated to be 40%. The average share price during the year was 89.8 pence (2015:100 pence). At the year end the Company had the following warrants outstanding:
