Commenting on the results, Maurice Dwek, Chairman of Newmark, said:
"Within the access control business, although many end-users have already migrated from Janus to Sateon, there are a number of large customers that are yet to make this transition. Therefore, the opportunity exists for this to positively impact Sateon revenues in the current financial year.
Our new android terminal, GT-10, will simplify integrations for customers with android and browser based applications. This new product provides an opportunity to generate revenue in entirely new markets and Grosvenor has begun research across these markets to investigate the potential return on investment available, particularly focusing on sectors that offer 'as a service' (aaS) opportunities. A focus on near term goals has delayed research in these areas, however the Board remains confident in the upside value of these opportunities and intends to pursue these markets as soon as resources allow.
Within the asset protection division, Safetell already has a well-established blue chip customer list, particularly in the banking and finance sector, but is now expanding into other industries whilst offering a greater range of products across the board. Safetell has also entered into strategic partnerships with manufacturers of various additional security products manufactured within the UK and in Europe. Although these products have counter terrorism applications, they are also marketed to existing customers and markets that see a need for improved security on premises and increased safety for staff.
We expect continued growth in revenue from our new Sateon Advance access control system and counter terrorism products but, in view of the ongoing economic uncertainty, we expect that this will be a difficult trading year. In the longer term, we look for continued growth in Sateon, revenue from our exciting new android terminal and recovery of sales in the asset protection division."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Overview
Newmark is a leading provider of security systems in the UK. Through our subsidiaries, Grosvenor Technology and Safetell, we provide our customers with a range of specialist products and services for the security of assets and personnel.
Group revenue for the year from continuing operations was GBP16,036k (2016: GBP21,812k) representing a decrease of 26.5%. As stated in last year's report, the strategy of material investment in new products, new customer acquisition and new geographies has taken longer to yield returns than originally anticipated. Although the opportunity pipeline has grown, the conversion into sales has been slower than expected. The continuing economic uncertainty has affected customer spending plans with proposed programmes being severely delayed or cancelled.
Revenue in the electronic division (Grosvenor Technology) decreased by 7.2% from GBP7,628k to GBP7,092k. The revenues from Janus, an access control platform, continued to decline following Microsoft's discontinued support for the 16-bit operating system on which our software runs. Conversely revenues for our Sateon product range increased 22% despite delays to our new Sateon Advance variant product release, an innovative modular approach to access control, that is easily scalable for buildings of any size.
Revenue in the asset protection division (Safetell) decreased by 36.9% in the year from GBP14,184k to GBP8,944k as a result of the anticipated reduced contribution from time delay cash handling equipment sales to the Post Office, reduced orders in the lead up to and after the Brexit vote and subsequent budget cuts in all sectors. The fall in the value of the pound against the Euro resulted in the increased cost of imported products which reduced margin further.
Loss from operations for the year from continuing operations before exceptional items was GBP1,378k (2016: Profit GBP1,489k). There were a number of exceptional items including an impairment provision of development costs of GBP1,341K and impairment provision of goodwill of GBP2,229k, primarily due to the age of the goodwill and historical products and the current focus on the new product ranges, and redundancy costs of GBP285k. Loss from continuing operations after exceptional items was GBP5,233k (2016: Profit GBP1,489k). In addition, the office in Hong Kong was closed in the year in view of the lack of revenue and the post-tax loss of this operation of GBP136k (2016:291K) has been included in the consolidated income statement as a discontinued operation.
A full financial review of the results for the year is included within the Strategic Report, extracts of which are set out further below.
Dividend
In view of the results for the year, the Board has not recommended the payment of a dividend for the year ended 30 April 2017 (2016: 0.10 pence per share).
Employees
The Board would like to express its appreciation to all staff for their continuing efforts during this difficult year.
Outlook
Within the access control business, although many end-users have already migrated from Janus to Sateon, there are a number of large customers that are yet to make this transition. Therefore, the opportunity exists for this to positively impact Sateon revenues in the current financial year.
Our new android terminal, GT-10, will simplify integrations for customers with android and browser based applications. This new product provides an opportunity to generate revenue in entirely new markets and Grosvenor has begun research across these markets to investigate the potential return on investment available, particularly focusing on sectors that offer 'as a service' (aaS) opportunities. A focus on near term goals has delayed research in these areas, however the Board remains confident in the upside value of these opportunities and intends to pursue these markets as soon as resources allow.
Within the asset protection division, Safetell already has a well-established blue chip customer list, particularly in the banking and finance sector, but is expanding into other industries whilst offering a greater range of products across the board. Safetell has also entered into strategic partnerships with manufacturers of various additional security products manufactured within the UK and in Europe. Although these products have counter terrorism applications, they are also marketed to existing customers and markets that see a need for improved security on their premises and increased safety for staff.
We expect continued growth in the revenue from our new Sateon Advance access control system and from counter terrorism products but, in view of the ongoing economic uncertainty, we expect that this will be a difficult trading year. In the longer term, we look for continued growth in Sateon, revenue from our exciting new android terminal and recovery of sales in the asset protection division.

EXTRACTS FROM THE STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
Revenue in the year decreased from GBP21.8m to GBP16.0m, a decrease of 26.5%, analysed as follows:
Increase/ 2016/17 2015/16 (decrease) GBP'000 GBP'000 % Electronic division Access control 3,801 4,350 (12.8) Workforce management 3,291 3,278 - Total electronic division 7,092 7,628 (7.2) Asset protection division Products 5,870 10,721 (45.2) Service 3,074 3,463 (11.2) Total asset protection division 8,944 14,184 (36.9) TOTAL 16,036 21,812 (26.5)
A detailed review of the activities, results and future developments is set out in the divisional sections below.
Electronic division - Grosvenor Technology
Overview
The significant investment that has been made in product development over the previous two years has resulted in major product releases. Both the Sateon Advance (access control) and GT-10 offerings (workforce management solution) have received a very warm reception from the market and several potentially high volume new contracts are at an advanced stage of negotiation. Despite being newly launched, Sateon Advance was also short listed for an award at the prestigious Security and Fire Excellence Awards.
The expectation that Sateon Advance would quickly surpass revenue from older products has been met with Advance already enjoying greater commercial success than the older Sateon Pro system. A variant of the Advance platform has also been selected by an independent distributor of security and CCTV systems to power their own access control solution.
In the light of these new product launches, the directors have impaired development costs by GBP1,341,000 and goodwill by GBP1,268,000 in relation to the electronic division. These impairments are considered to be against historical products that future revenues are not expected to cover as the directors focus on these new products.
Access Control
This was a difficult trading period as the company experienced reductions in revenues in its legacy access control platform, Janus, while revenue growth from its current Sateon offering was affected by the delayed release of the most recent variants.
Due to Microsoft and Intel migrating away from platforms and operating systems that support 16-bit applications such as Grosvenor's older Janus product line, the revenues from that product line continued to decline in line with expectations.
Significant investment was made during the year and the Sateon offering was bolstered by the launch of new hardware and software, released in the second half of the year under review as Sateon Advance. Sateon Advance V3.0 software is the fastest, most intuitive iteration of Sateon to date, dramatically increasing the speed of configuring doors and personnel. While revenues for this variant were slower to materialise than original expectations due to the delayed product release, revenues in the Sateon product range as a whole increased by 22% compared to the previous year to GBP1,956k. Early revenues and margin from the revised portfolio have been softer than earlier products due to our penetration pricing strategy.
The revenues from the Hong Kong operation unfortunately fell well short of expectations and as this position could not be predicted to significantly improve, the decision was taken to withdraw from Hong Kong and redeploy resource into regions of greater potential. This operation incurred an operating loss of GBP225K in the year which has therefore now been eliminated as a cost in future years. The net result has been included in the consolidated income statement as a discontinued operation.
The company has recently entered into a technology agreement with US based UniKey Technologies whose patented and proprietary platform provides a "frictionless at door experience" for the end user. It is anticipated that Grosvenor's first products incorporating UniKey technology will be seen later in the current calendar year. The product offering that features this embedded technology will transcend both access control and workforce management lines of business. This agreement is a perfect example of how Grosvenor can partner with one of the world's leading specialist technology providers to deliver innovative solutions and services to the UK market to enable the business to transition to a recurring revenue model.
Workforce Management ("WFM")
Revenues for WFM were similar to the previous year. The natural slowdown of the rollout across the estate of one of the world's largest apparel retailers negated, to some extent, growth in some new and existing channel partners.
Development resource was focused on the GT-10 employee terminal, launched as a Developer Kit towards the end of the first half. GT-10 has an Android based operating platform, allowing current and potential software partners to integrate seamlessly into their web-based offerings where they have existing Android based applications. Negotiations have commenced with several potential major WFM software providers in the US and Europe who have chosen to invest in creating their own software for the GT-10. The GT-10 is expected to enter mass production and be enhanced during the first half of the current financial year, in time for customers to complete their integration work and transition from their development phase to sales activity.
Negotiations continued during the year with some of the industry's largest software vendors with a view to supplying them with variants of the company's time and attendance terminals. In North America, business development activities increased to leverage the potential that exists for growing WFM revenues as it is felt the US market remains the region of greatest growth opportunity for both the existing IT series terminals and the GT-10.
Asset Protection Division - Safetell
Revenue within this division decreased by 36.9%, partly as a result of the reduced contribution from time delay cash handling equipment sales to the Post Office. Although Safetell received orders from various long-term customers in retail finance, petrol and food retailing sectors, reduced sales were experienced in the lead up to and after the Brexit vote as many customers put plans on hold. This trend continued with budget cuts in all sectors. The fall in the value of the pound against the Euro resulted in the increased cost of imported products which reduced margin further. The down turn in orders resulted in a reorganisation within the business which generated substantial cost savings.
During the year, new products were developed and certified to UK security standards with the focus on providing counter terror security equipment for staff and customer protection. A distribution agreement was entered into with Gunnebo UK to distribute their Security Doors and Partitioning range within the UK. This complements the existing Safetell product range and the increased product offering enables entry into new market sectors. A fixed price supply contract with a leading financial institution entered its third and final year and margins on this contract were reduced due to imported component price increases directly related to the pound/euro exchange rate.
A programme of product re-certification to the latest security standards was embarked on in the last few months and will assist in moving the business forward as our focus is moved to the increased crime and threat of terrorism within the UK.
Service Division revenue was 11.2 per cent lower than the corresponding period last year. Sales have been challenging for the division as a result of the continuing branch closures that have occurred in the banking sector.
Pneumatic upgrades of rising screen systems now generate in excess of 10% of total service revenue, providing customers with an extended product life beyond 20 years. The new TC105 control panel utilised on the rising screen was introduced to the market and installed at many sites. This has proved very reliable and will replace the outdated Surefire control panel going forward. The TC105 software was developed by Grosvenor Technology and utilises Grosvenor's workforce management IT51 terminal.
Taxation
The tax credit for the year reflects the operating loss for the year and the losses have been carried forward.
Statement of financial position and cash flow
Grosvenor conducted a review of the value of product development costs that had been capitalised as development costs previously. The review focused on the expected future economic benefits of historical investments and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset in future years. Grosvenor has historically amortised intellectual property rich development costs over a seven-year period and therefore many of the assets reviewed were several years old. With the launch of Sateon Advance and a reduction in market demand for older products and technologies that Sateon Advance has replaced, a write off of GBP1,341,000 on certain access control development costs was made. Development costs continued to be capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy but following the impairment review outlined above, the development costs within intangible assets on the balance sheet were GBP1,031,000 lower than the previous year.
In view of the lower level of sales of the historical product range in both divisions, there has also been an impairment of goodwill in the year of GBP2,229,000 which has been included within the consolidated income statement as an exceptional item. The impairment is considered to be against historical products whilst the future emphasis is on the new product ranges
Trade receivables and payables were GBP479,000 and GBP184,000 respectively lower than the previous year reflecting both the lower revenue in the period and the timing of that revenue. Deferred income was GBP372,000 below the previous year due to the lower level of advance payments from customers.
Overall net assets decreased from GBP14,457,000 to GBP8,800,000.
Cash outflows from operating activities for the year was GBP975,000 (2016: inflow GBP1,758,000), reflecting the trading result for the year and the movement in receivables and payables summarised above. Overall there was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of GBP2,938,000 (2016: increase GBP96,000).
Basic loss per share from continuing operations are shown in the income statement as 1.08 pence (2016: earnings 0.31 pence).

1. Basis of preparation
The financial information set out above for the years ended 30 April 2017 and 2016 does not constitute the Group's statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 April 2016 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those for 2017 will be delivered following the Company's Annual General Meeting. The auditors have reported on those accounts. The auditors' reports were unqualified and did not contain statements under s.498 (2) or (3) Companies Act 2006. The results have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the statutory accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"), IFRIC interpretations and the parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial information, including the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
2. Taxation
The tax credit for the year reflects the operating loss for the year and the losses have been carried forward.
3. Segment information
Description of the types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues:
The Group has 2 main reportable segments:
-- Electronic division - This division is involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of access-control systems (hardware and software) and the design, manufacture and distribution of WFM hardware only, for time-and-attendance, shop-floor data collection, and access control systems. This division contributed 44 per cent. (2016: 35 per cent.) of the Group's revenue.
-- Asset Protection division - This division is involved in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of fixed and reactive security screens, reception counters, cash management systems and associated security equipment. This division contributed 56 per cent. (2016: 65 per cent.) of the Group's revenue.
Factors that management used to identify the Group's reportable segments
The Group's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The two divisions are managed separately as each involves different technology, and sales and marketing strategies. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
Measurement of operating segment profit or loss from operations before tax not including non-recurring losses such as development cost impairment, and also excluding the effects of share based payments.
