Board review
The Board is pleased to report unaudited interim financial results for the half year ended 28 February 2019.
The period has seen further increases in turnover and profit compared with the equivalent period in 2018. These encouraging results stem from the decision we took in 2017 to concentrate on our core business, the technical sales of specialist electronic components, products and systems. These results are a vindication of our simple strategy of: selling more of our existing technologies; signing-up new technologies; and completing strategic bolt-on acquisitions
The period also saw a significant further reduction in our debt, with all of the high interest bearing convertible loans paid off by the end of November 2018 and with cash balances increasing.
Acquisitions update
In November 2018, the Group completed its third acquisition in twelve months: Wavelength Electronics Limited ("Wavelength") was acquired for a total consideration of GBP494,000. Details of this acquisition are set out in note 6 of the interim financial statements. In the year to 31 December 2018 Wavelength had a gross profit of GBP472,000.
Wavelength has more than 25 years' experience as a representative of electronic component manufacturers. Operating in similar market sectors to the core APC and Aspen components businesses, Wavelength represents a group of well-known manufacturers of components and systems for applications including high reliability, power control and conversion, RF and microwave interconnect, man-machine interfaces and sensing. These manufacturers include industry-leading brands such as Q-Tech, Corning Dubilier, State of the Art, Astrodyne, Presidio and Vanguard. These additional product lines will enhance the Group's ability to sell into the UK's high reliability industries, including Space.
The Board is pleased with the integration and performance of all three acquisitions done so far. They are all trading at a run rate higher than acquired levels and in all cases have added to the Group's product and service offering. These businesses have also brought with them additional sales and technical expertise. The Group is also on track to deliver the targeted synergies in these transactions with the associated profit margin enhancement.
Operations update
Wavelength's representation business complements the Group's design-in distribution business, which is now concentrated on five focused technology portfolios, each managed by specialist business teams with specific technical expertise combined with in-depth industry and product knowledge, supported by a shared service framework of marketing, sales, logistics and administration.
High Reliability Electronics (trading as APC Hi-Rel) - the technical sale of high-reliability, high temperature and high voltage electronic components, semiconductors and power solutions, selling primarily into the aerospace and defence industries. Over the period this team has added to its product lines and is very focussed on the growing UK space market. This market access has been enhanced by the acquisition of Wavelength, which brings with it further expertise in this area;
Component services and sourcing solutions (trading as APC Locator) - offers a range of services relating to the location of obsolete, end of life and hard to find components, including obsolescence management, component requalification and anti-counterfeit testing. This is a growing market with the world shortage in components. This business also enables the Group to form strategic partnerships with its larger blue chip customers. APC's historical experience in this area was strengthened in January 2018 by the acquisition of First Byte Micro Limited, resulting in an expansion of this activity;
Radio Frequency and Microwave (trading as APC RF & Microwave) - distributes high performance connectors, passive and active devices and related electronic components, selling primarily into the defence, telecoms, wireless and broadband markets. This business was boosted by the acquisition of Aspen Electronics Limited ("Aspen") in July 2018. This enlarged team is now one of the largest independent groups servicing RF & Microwave in the UK. The team has had great success in the period with products sold into counter IED systems;
Time and Frequency Synchronisation (trading as APC Time) - provides time and frequency synchronisation systems to financial institutions, government bodies, broadcasters, telecoms organisations and rail companies. This continues to be a growing business for the Group. We have added to the lines we represent, to be able to offer a one stop shop for time synchronisation and network assurance. We have broadened our client and industry base. For example we are now providing solutions to the UK's largest broadcasters. Time synchronisation and network assurance impacts many industries and we are well placed to take advantage of this market growth as it happens;
Property Technology: This business combines the expertise of our Lighting Technologies business (trading as APC Lighting) and our connectivity, sensing and Internet of Things business (trading as APC Smartwave) to form a bespoke provider of high-end technology solutions to facility management companies. We have achieved further growth in our core Lighting customer base, but in addition we have added to the products that we are selling with an increase in solutons for smart building systems. EEVS Performance Management sits alongside these two, to provide energy verification services in connection with energy performance contracts by facilities management companies or energy-saving measures funded by public sector organisations.
Summary of financial performance
Revenue for the period was GBP10.7m (H1 2018: GBP8.6m), representing an increase of 24% over the corresponding period in 2018. The increase included the effect of a full six months' trading of Aspen (acquired in July 2018) and three months trading of Wavelength.
Gross profit increased by 20% from GBP2.9m to GBP3.5m based on the higher turnover. Overall gross profit margin for the period was 32.4% (H1 2018: 34.2%), reflecting the current mix of products in the enlarged Group. The recent restructuring has achieved a lower overhead base that mitigates this effect.
Operating profit before exceptional and non-recurring expenses, share based payments, interest and tax was GBP844k (H1 2018: GBP557k), representing a 51% increase. Operating profit margin increased by 21.5% from 6.5% in H1 2018 to 7.9% in the current period. This is a key indicator of the successful strategy of folding incremental gross profit into a controlled cost base. Overheads on continuing operations were GBP2.61m (H1 2018: GBP2.39m); tight cost control limited the increase to 9.3% despite the acquisitions of Aspen and Wavelength.
Adjusted profit (before exceptional and non-recurring costs), as calculated in note 5 to the interim financial statements, was GBP657k (H1 2018: GBP384k), an increase of 71%, as a result of which earnings per share calculated on this basis improved 31% from 0.3p to 0.4p.
Exceptional and non-recurring expenses increased from GBP5k in H1 2018 to GBP158k in the period due to the Group's acquisitive strategy. These costs are predominantly the result of restructuring to achieve synergies in later periods.
After exceptional and non-recurring expenses, share based payments, interest and tax, the Group is reporting a GBP510k post-tax profit for the period, an increase of 28% compared to GBP398k in H1 2018, resulting in a basic and diluted EPS of 0.3p (H1 2018: 0.3p).
Balance sheet and cash flow
Working capital (excluding net debt) moved from a surplus of GBP0.73m at 31 August 2018 to a surplus of GBP0.75m at 28 February 2019, despite the acquisitions referred to above.
Net debt at the end of the period was GBP2.7m, including GBP0.8m of cash, GBP2.9m drawn on the ABN invoice finance facility and GBP0.6m from the Pay4 trade payment facility. This compares with net debt of GBP4.0m at 28 February 2018 and GBP3.1m at 31 August 2018, including the loan notes, which were fully paid off during the period.
The repayment of the loan notes means that the bulk of the Group's borrowing is concentrated with the ABN invoice discounting facility of up to GBP6m. The facility continues with no fixed termination date and provides further capacity for growth, both organic and acquisitive.
Cash flow for the period resulted in an overall increase in net cash of GBP0.5m from February 2018 and GBP0.1m from 31 August 2018. This was driven by a strong surplus of GBP0.5m from operations, which facilitated a net decrease of GBP0.4m in borrowings compared with 31 August 2018..
The Board's strategy has been to invest cash from operations, together with surplus funds from the equity raise, into reducing net debt, whilst maintaining strong supplier relationships.
No new shares were issued during the half-year, but approximately 2.7m shares have been issued since the period-end, partly in lieu of directors' and professional fees and partly through the exercise of share options.
Board changes
Following the successful completion of the Group's turnaround, Michael Thompson decided to leave the business in March 2019 to pursue other challenges. The Board would like to thank him for his efforts and service and he has our every best wish for the future. The Board are not looking to replace Michael, as the Group has a strong financial control function supported by other Group services.
Outlook
The Group continues to reap the benefits of its clear strategy for moving forward with profitable cash-generative growth. This strategy has three tactical strands:
Increase revenue through our established and growth technologies. This growth is largely being driven by market or compliance requirements and is being achieved through reorganised and incentivised sales teams, strengthened by staff from our new acquisitions.
Growth by signing new proven technology partners. Further signings took place during the period and we are continuing to target other complementary technologies.
Sales growth through bolt-on acquisitions. The targets are established companies, with gross profit of GBP0.5m or more, that can provide additional revenue consistent with APC's strategic profile, together with a bank of existing customers. The acquisition of Wavelength is the latest example of this strategy.
The Group continues to trade in line with management expectations and the Board remains confident in its three faceted growth strategy.
Once again we would like to thank the Group's employees for their dedication and hard work, and our customers, suppliers and shareholders for their continued support.

2. Basis of preparation
This unaudited consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim results are those it expects to apply in its financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2019 and are unchanged from those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2018.
The financial information does not contain all of the information that is required to be disclosed in a full set of IFRS financial statements. The financial information for the six months ended 28 February 2019 and 28 February 2018 is unreviewed and unaudited and does not constitute the Company's statutory financial statements for those periods. The comparative financial information for the full year ended 31 August 2018 has, however, been derived from the audited statutory financial statements for that period. A copy of those statutory financial statements has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include references to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying its report and did not contain a statement under section 498(2)-(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial information in the interim report is presented in UK pounds sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (GBP000), except where otherwise indicated.

Earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit after taxation attributable to equity holders of the parent company for the period and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding by the dilutive effect of shares that the Company may potentially issue relating to its share option scheme.
The result for the year and the weighted average number of shares used in the calculations are set out below:
Half year Half year Year ended ended ended 28 February 28 February 31 August 2019 2018 2018 (unaudited) (unaudited) (audited) GBP000 GBP000 GBP000 Net profit after tax for the period 510 398 633 ----------------- ------------------ ---------------- Weighted average number of shares (000's) 179,884 134,913 139,472 Basic earnings per share 0.3p 0.3p 0.5p ================= ================== ================ Dilutive/free shares (000's) 917 945 917 ----------------- ------------------ ---------------- Diluted number of shares (000's) 180,801 135,858 140,389
