About Immotion Group
Immotion Group, co-founded by Martin Higginson and David Marks in 2017, generates revenues through the delivery to consumers of high quality "state of the art" VR experiences, combined with cutting-edge motion platforms at affordable price points through a range of channels:
-- Concession partners - currently installed at a range of outlets including Merlin Entertainments' LEGOLAND(R) Discovery Centres in Boston, USA and Manchester, UK and Genting Resorts World in Birmingham - this channel provides an opportunity for its partners to earn ancillary revenues, as well as providing an exciting additional attraction to their facilities
-- Owned and franchised VR experience centres, trading as ImmotionVR, located in high footfall retail and leisure malls
-- Sales - sale of VR Motion Platforms to leisure and entertainment operators to provide the operator with the opportunity to drive substantial ancillary revenues
Chief Executive's Statement
The period under review culminated in our shares being successfully admitted to trading on AIM, in July 2018 (post period end), raising GBP5.75 million (before expenses) by way of a significantly oversubscribed placing of new shares. The IPO has provided us with the funds required to rapidly scale our business in the coming months.
The 'Out of Home' VR experience market is forecast to grow eight-fold to $8 billion by 2022*, and Immotion Group has placed itself at the centre of what has been described as the "rising tide" of interest in VR.
Immotion Group is focused on becoming a leading participant in the 'Out of Home' VR experience market and we believe that the VR experiences we have developed will allow us to achieve this. Working closely with our Chinese motion platform manufacturer, Beijing LEKE VR Technology Co., Ltd ("Leke VR"), we have taken the basic VR motion platforms that they develop and have enhanced them with software and hardware upgrades, including our proprietary Content Management System, to deliver a truly differentiated offering. This combined solution gives Immotion Group the ability to offer partners a compelling ancillary revenue opportunity through exciting VR experiences.
We have exclusive distribution rights for Leke VR's motion platforms in the UK, Europe and the USA and Immotion Group has identified three routes to market:
-- Concession partners, enabling Immotion Group and its partners to earn revenues, as well as providing an exciting additional attraction to its partner's facilities;
-- Owned and franchised VR experience centres, trading as ImmotionVR, located in high footfall shopping and leisure destinations; and
-- Sales of VR Motion Platforms to leisure and entertainment operators, providing the opportunity for the operator to drive substantial ancillary revenues.
Our recently updated agreement with Leke VR, announced in September 2018, underpins our belief that there is strong demand for premium content. We have agreed to supply content to Leke VR's installed base of machines (currently 1m "plays" per month) which will help them to differentiate themselves in the non-USA and European markets. Leke VR currently supplies VR Motion Platforms to China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Saudi, and Croatia and has ambitious plans to open more VR parks throughout Asia and to grow its distribution network significantly. We are currently working on a number of joint initiatives for attractions and VR motion platforms which will be designed by our UK teams in collaboration with Leke VR. These plans provide Immotion Group with the opportunity to build significant additional revenue from its content.
Our strategy to develop VR experiences was enabled through the acquisition of both Studio Liddell, our CGI studio in Manchester, and C2K, the Los Angeles based, live-action studio. These acquisitions were completed just before we entered the current period (in December 2017) and both companies immediately set to work producing or publishing a range of VR experiences specifically for motion platforms. These include the space action ride, 'Delta Zero' as well as a number of proprietary experiences, including a mixed live action and CGI underwater experience, 'Legend of Lusca'. Variations of old favourites, such as our VR Snow Rollercoaster; along with "seasonal" VR experiences for both Halloween and Christmas are also coming soon.
The interim results reflect the Company's legacy operations. In the UK, we have been finishing a small number of prestigious larger commercial projects, but have not sought to win new commercial business in 2018. We will continue with selected commercial client business in the USA until VR activities grow in that market. However, we intend to exit our Japanese branch. Our first owned and operated ImmotionVR experience centre in Bristol, UK, which opened in mid-December 2017, traded throughout the period. This experience centre, together with Resorts World Birmingham which opened at the end of March 2018, and our first LEGOLAND(R) Discovery Centre Concession installation, which opened in May 2018, provided us with our inaugural VR revenues of GBP137,000. Our ImmotionVR experience centre in the Arndale Centre, Manchester, UK opened just one month ahead of listing on 19 June 2018, so contributed to these H1 figures for only 12 days.
With several locations contributing for the whole of H2 2018, along with new sites (both ImmotionVR and Concessions) and machine sales, we expect very substantial growth in our VR revenues in H2 2018.
Outlook
Our decision to invest heavily in both a proprietary Content Management System and in VR experience origination during the period has started to deliver rewards. The differentiated offering that we have created is now allowing us to win significant long-term revenue generating relationships. Indeed, having shown our VR experiences to a range of potential partners, we are now progressing a number of these to contract status. These are predominantly with UK based leisure players but we are also in final stage negotiations with a Spanish distributor which we hope to announce imminently.
We are pleased with our progress to date and are now looking to accelerate the growth of our installed base. We believe we can scale the business rapidly using both our owned, franchised and Concession models.
Our future pipeline is looking strong, and we are making significant headway in terms of our discussions with landlords and leisure operators alike. Regarding Concession partners, the revenue share model we have adopted allows us to expedite the decision-making process and benefits our company by providing us with immediate exposure to revenue. Plus, the relatively low price point of our experiences means that consumer uptake of our Concession partners' installations is strong, providing them with substantial ancillary revenues immediately, therefore positioning us a valuable partner of choice.
We are accelerating our efforts in the USA, and to that end, we have hired a sales director, a retail operations manager and rented a warehouse. We will shortly open two ImmotionVR experience centres in Los Angeles, which will give us a showcase as we begin to approach potential Concession partners.
All this gives me confidence that the year ahead will be characterised by growth and expansion. Comprised of experienced media and leisure entrepreneurs and award-winning content creators, I believe that our management team are well placed to overcome the challenges and exploit the opportunities which we will face as we seek to carve out a leading position in this exciting and rapidly evolving space.
The solid progress made so far in the 'out of home' VR marketplace has given the Board confidence in both our strategy and business model, and we believe that Immotion Group is well positioned to take advantage of the "rising tide" of interest in VR.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome and thank the investors who participated in our IPO, and also thank our advisers for their support.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
for the six months ended 30 June 2018
1. Corporate information
The interim consolidated financial statements of the group for the period ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 25 September 2018. Immotion Group Plc ("the company") is a Public Limited Company listed on AIM, incorporated in England and Wales. The interim consolidated financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Statement of Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of Preparation
The entities consolidated in the half year financial statements of the company for the six months to 30 June 2018 comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the group").
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the consolidated interim financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt a going concern basis of accounting and in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards adopted for use in the European Union ("IFRS").
2.2 Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The interim results announcement has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), International Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Union ("IFRSs") and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies preparing their accounts under IFRSs. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of these consolidated half year financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates in preparing these consolidated half year financial statements.
The proceeds received on issue of the Group's convertible loan are allocated into their liability and equity components and presented separately in the Balance Sheet. The amount initially attributed to the debt component equals the discounted cash flows using a market rate of interest that would be payable on a similar debt instrument that did not include an option to convert. The difference between the net proceeds of the convertible loan and the amount allocated to the debt component is credited direct to equity and is not subsequently remeasured. On conversion, the debt and equity elements are credited to share capital and share premium as appropriate.
Standards and amendments and interpretations to published standards not yet effective
Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the group's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018 or later periods and which the group has decided not to adopt early are:
IFRS 16 Leases (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
Amendments to IAS 2 Income Taxes (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
Amendments to IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
The impact that the implementation of the above standards will have on the financial statements is currently being assessed.
