 Chairman's Statement 
 

By all measures, I am very pleased with the performance of Crimson Tide in the first half of 2020. A great deal of focus will be placed upon our financial results; however, the Company has continued to grow into a position of strength in terms of its client base, breadth of offering and quality of contract. Contracts won early in the year do have a more significant effect on full year performance which gives us confidence for the second half and beyond.

We continued to add to our base subscriber revenue, particularly in the supermarket and rail sectors with long term contracts. The board is just as focused on retention and extension of its existing book and we have been particularly pleased with our success in this area with existing clients adding both functionality and volume to their subscription bases. Our largest client contracts now extend for at least another three years and we managed to secure one of the country's largest neighbourhood retailers on a five-year contract. The credibility of our client base means that we spend less time in convincing new clients of the benefits of mpro5.

Our development team has grown, and we have invested a great deal of time in core improvements to the mpro5 platform. Single Sign On, a new API and further IoT (Internet of Things) development give us opportunities to integrate with enterprise software as well as sensor hardware. These areas, considered cutting-edge and speculative by many, are producing strong interest, which confirms our belief that they will result in contract generation and healthy returns on investment.

In some ways, we are limited by our comparative size to the breadth of opportunity open to us. Current plans in terms of the expansion of the capabilities of mpro5 involve further developments in IoT, particularly population movement and density, as well as expansion of the API into other enterprise software. We have agreed an extension of one of our significant healthcare contracts and this has led us to commence work on an entirely new version of mpro5 for health which is scheduled to beta in the coming months. This will allow us to consolidate our healthcare versions as well as attack new opportunities.

Our growing partner channel is consistently introducing new opportunities. Whilst this has a minor effect on gross margin, it does mean that the cost of sourcing new business decreases and assists us with onboarding and client satisfaction. We hope to conclude further partnerships in due course, which will have the effect of expanding our sales team and reach.

Crimson Tide is well set financially, has a team to deliver further growth and an enviable client base. Thanks to our fantastic team, led by Luke Jeffrey, we have not been affected by recent political and health events, which shows our strength and agility. These facts should see us continue to grow and, with our high margin, long term contracted revenue book and innovative nature, we are confident for the future.

Crimson Tide Plc

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Results for the 6 months ended 30 June 2019

   1.   General information and basis of preparation 

Crimson Tide plc is a public company, limited by shares, and incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company has its listing on AIM. The address of its registered office is Oakhurst House, 77 Mt. Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN4 8BS.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies that are consistent with those applied in the previously published financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.

The information for the period ended 30 June 2020 has neither been audited nor reviewed and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. A copy of the statutory accounts for that period has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain statements under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The financial position of the Company, its cash flows and liquidity position are described in the interim financial statement and notes. The Company has the financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.

2. Revenue and operating segments

The Group has two main regional centres of operation; one in the UK, the other in Ireland but the Group's resources, including capital, human and non-current assets are utilised across the Group irrespective of where they are based or originate from. The Board is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM allocates these resources based on revenue generation, which due to its high margin nature and the Group's reasonably fixed overheads, in turn drives profitability and cashflow generation. The Board consider it most meaningful to monitor financial results and KPIs for the consolidated Group, and decisions are made by the Board accordingly.

In due consideration of the requirements of IFRS 8 Operating Segments, the Board consider segmental reporting by (i) business activity, by turnover, and (ii) region, by turnover to be appropriate. Business activity is best split between (i) the strategic focus of the business, i.e. mobility solutions and the resulting development services that emanate from that and (ii) hardware sales to existing customers.

Segment information for the reporting periods is as follows:

   3.    Earnings per share 

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share is based on the profit per share attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be in issue, assuming conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Reconciliations of the profit and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation are set out below:
