Chairman's Statement

As foreshadowed in the trading update published on 30 July 2018, Group revenues in the Period showed a major increase of approximately 61% over the comparable period in 2017. Gross margin improved slightly to 40% and the EBITDA loss before share option provisions was substantially reduced to $40,000 (H1 2017: $283,000).

The Group continues to focus on developing strategic and close alliances with larger, world class client companies to drive growth.

In September 2017 it was announced that the Company had entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with a major European Industrial Group. We are now able to disclose that this entity is Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions GMBH ("Bosch"), a subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH. The Company has a good ongoing relationship with Bosch and is working closely with their team with a view to further orders in the near future.

Two other new strategic clients, CropX (irrigation control) and WIMC (cargo protection to reduce insurance costs), contributed significantly to revenues in the Period and we would expect this to continue going forward.

The spectrum of opportunities available in the market for Starcom's products is large and expanding and we are now working in collaboration with a number of companies to help them solve the unique issues they face by utilising our technology. Examples mentioned in our latest update include the remote factory monitoring of electric motorbike performance (initial orders have already been received) and the quality assurance of concrete deliveries to construction sites, through placing highly specialised monitors within the cement mixing vehicles.

This market opportunity is being further enhanced by our proven capability to make the Internet of Things ("IoT") work for our clients. Our project with CropX is a good example - irrigation control devices become components in an IoT based solution enabling CropX's clients to exploit rich field data to achieve better agricultural productivity. We are moving fast in applying IoT technology to other areas including machinery, livestock and tankers. Our R&D team is also currently exploring opportunities presented by clients and partners to integrate Starcom's technologies into the rapidly-growing Blockchain application world. In the cargo tracking area for example, end customers can, through the use of blockchain, receive authenticated and highly secure data regarding the path a shipment has taken, including reporting on the various conditions along the way, such as loading, unloading, change in temperature, humidity levels, etc.

Leveraging its ongoing technological advancements, the Company has been successful in gradually reducing the dominance of the standard Helios tracking products which have, in recent years, accounted for over 90% of hardware sales. These older and basic products suffer from a highly competitive environment and therefore show a much lower gross margin (which is moderated somewhat by the SAS revenues which the Helios units, like all other products, generate as they are connected to Starcom's central cloud-based tracking software). In 2017 we reduced Helios to 58% of total hardware sales and that percentage has subsequently dropped to 34% in the Period.

The newer and more sophisticated products we have been developing in recent years include the Watchlock, which contributed 23% to hardware sales in the Period, compared with 6% in the whole of 2017. We are confident that, once the new Bluetooth-enabled version is launched towards the end of the year, we expect further growth in this product. Kylos sales were 24% of hardware sales in the Period (FY 2017: 16%). The Tetis, for shipping containers, contributed 19% (FY 2017: 20%) in the Period.

The high margin SAS revenues showed a solid increase of 15% in the Period to $890,000 (H1 2017: $775,000) due to the increase in the number of units live on the system. We expect overall gross margins to continue to improve as the revenue mix and the SAS contribution improve.

FINANCIAL REPORT

Group revenues for the Period were $3.1m, compared with $1.9m for the six months ended 30 June 2017, an increase of 61%.

The gross margin for the Period was 40%, compared with 38% for full year 2017.

Despite achieving savings in rent and office expenses items, total operating expenditure of $1.7m increased by some 18% mainly due to non-cash expenses such as depreciation and share option provisions.

The operating loss in the Period decreased to $0.51m compared with an operating loss of $0.57m for the six months ended 30 June 2017, a reduction of 10%.

The Group benefitted from the strength of the USD, which resulted in a $0.1m exchange rate gain.

The Group balance sheet showed an increase in trade receivables to $1.44m, compared with $1m as at 30 June 2017, due to the increase in revenues for the Period compared with H1 2017.

Group inventories at the Period end were $2.3m, compared to $2.0m as at 30 June 2017.

Trade payables at the Period end were $1.8m, compared with $2.1m as at 30 June 2017, showing a decrease of $0.3m.

Net cash used in operating activities in the Period was $0.3m, compared with $0.17m for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

During the Period, it was decided to further rationalise extraneous operations and therefore the Company closed its office in Florida, as it was found that selling directly to clients in the USA from Israel proved more cost effective. This caused a onetime loss of $34,000 for the Period.

Since the Period end, the Company has negotiated increased bank facilities with a major bank in Israel for the amount of 2.4m shekels ($0.66m) subject to normal bank covenants and conditions. These new facilities demonstrate the confidence of the bank in our future plans.

OUTLOOK

2018's first half revenues have already exceeded half of 2017's full year revenues which were weighted, as in previous years, towards the second half of the year. With this good start, and as we engage with an unprecedented number of higher quality new client and revenue opportunities, we expect that revenues for 2018 should significantly exceed those for 2017 and that full year 2018 will show a positive EBITDA before share option provisions. More importantly, we have established a stronger foundation of improved client and product mix to enable growth to continue into 2019.

                Use of estimates and judgments 
               The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
                with IFRS requires management of the Company to make 
                judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the 
                application of accounting policies and the reported 
                amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 
                Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
               The judgment of management, when implementing the Group 
                accounting policies and the basic assumptions utilized 
                in the estimates that are bound up in uncertainties 
                are consistent with those that were utilized to prepare 
                the annual financial statements. 
   c.          New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted 
                by the Group 
                The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of 
                 the interim condensed consolidated financial statements 
                 are consistent with those followed in the preparation 
                 of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements 
                 for the year ended 31 December 2017, except for the adoption 
                 of new standards effective as of 1 January 2018. 
                 The Group has early adopted IFRS 16 as follows: 
                 The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective 
                 approach and therefore the comparative information has 
                 not been restated and continues to be reported under 
                 IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. The details of accounting policies 
                 under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are disclosed separately if 
                 they are different from those under IFRS 16 and the impact 
                 of changes is disclosed in Note 3. 
                 Significant accounting policy 
                 Policy applicable from 1 January 2018: 
                 At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether 
                 a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or 
                 contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to 
                 control the use of an identified asset for a period of 
                 time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether 
                 a contract conveys the right to control the use of an 
                 identified asset, the Group assesses whether: 
                  *    the contract involves the use of an identified asset 
                       - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and 
                       should be physically distinct or represent 
                       substantially all of the capacity of a physically 
                       distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive 
                       substitution right, then the asset is not identified; 
 
 
                  *    the Group has the right to obtain substantially all 
                       of the economic benefits from use of the asset 
                       throughout the period of use; and 
 
 
                  *    the Group has the right to direct the use of the 
                       asset. The Group has this right when it has the 
                       decision-making rights that are most relevant to 
                       changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. 
                       In rare cases where the decision about how and for 
                       what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the 
                       Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if 
                       either: 
 
 
                  *    the Group has the right to operate the asset; or 
 
 
                  *    the Group designed the asset in a way that 
                       predetermines how and for what purpose it will be 
                       used. 
 
 
                 This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or 
                 changed, on or after 1 January 2018. 
                 At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains 
                 a lease component, the Group 
                 allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease 
                 component on the basis of their relative stand-alone 
                 prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings 
                 in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to 
                 separate non-lease components and account for the lease 
                 and non-lease components as a single lease component. 
 
 
 
 
       Policy applicable before 1 January 2018 
        For contracts entered into before 1 January 2018, the 
        Group determined whether the arrangement was or contained 
        a lease based on the assessment of whether: 
         *    fulfilment of the arrangement was dependent on the 
              use of a specific asset or assets; and 
 
 
         *    the arrangement had conveyed a right to use the 
              asset. An arrangement conveyed the right to use the 
              asset if one of the following was met: 
 
 
         *    the purchaser had the ability or right to operate the 
              asset while obtaining or controlling more than an 
              insignificant amount of the output; 
 
 
         *    the purchaser had the ability or right to control 
              physical access to the asset while obtaining or 
              controlling more than an insignificant amount of the 
              output; or 
 
 
         *    facts and circumstances indicated that it was remote 
              that other parties would take more 
 
 
        than an insignificant amount of the output, and the price 
        per unit was neither fixed per unit of output nor equal 
        to the current market price per unit of output. 
        As a lessee 
        The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease 
        liability at the lease commencement 
        date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at 
        cost, which comprises the initial amount 
        of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments 
        made at or before the commencement 
        date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate 
        of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset 
        or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which 
        it is located, less any lease incentives received. 
        The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using 
        the straight-line method from the 
        commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful 
        life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease 
        term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets 
        are determined on the same basis as those of property 
        and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is 
        periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and 
        adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability 
        The lease liability is initially measured at the present 
        value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
        commencement date, discounted using the interest rate 
        implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily 
        determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, 
        the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the 
        discount rate. 
        Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease 
        liability comprise the following: 
        -- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; 
        -- variable lease payments that depend on an index or 
        a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as 
        at the commencement date; 
        -- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value 
        guarantee; and 
        -- the exercise price under a purchase option that the 
        Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments 
        in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably 
        certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties 
        for early termination of a lease unless the Group is 
        reasonably certain not to terminate early. 
  The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using 
   the effective interest method. It is 
   remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments 
   arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is 
   a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected 
   to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if 
   the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise 
   a purchase, extension or termination option. 
   When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a 
   corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount 
   of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or 
   loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset 
   has been reduced to zero. 
   The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet 
   the definition of investment property in 'property, plant 
   and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' 
   in the statement of financial position. 
   Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 
   The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets 
   and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery 
   that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases 
   of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group 
   recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases 
   as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease 
   term. 
   In the comparative period, as a lessee the Group classified 
   leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and 
   rewards of ownership as finance leases. When this was 
   the case, the leased assets were measured initially at 
   an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and 
   the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum 
   lease payments were the payments over the lease term 
   that the lessee was required to make, excluding any contingent 
   rent. 
   Subsequently, the assets were accounted for in accordance 
   with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. 
   Assets held under other leases were classified as operating 
   leases and were not recognized in the Group's statement 
   of financial position. Payments made under operating 
   leases were recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line 
   basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received 
   were recognized as an integral part of the total lease 
   expense, over the term of the lease. 
   Under IAS 17

   assets that do not meet the definition of investment 
   property. 
   The Group leases assets including buildings and vehicles.
