NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Presentation of the Group

AMA Corporation Plc ("the Company") is domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company's registered office is located in London. The consolidated financial statements comprise those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group").

The Group is a software developer and systems integrator for collaborative work, providing advanced, highly-secure remote solutions for connected devices. The Group's XpertEye suite provides augmented reality, dynamic workflow management, and dynamic online scheduling and planning. Combined with smart glasses or other camera sources (endoscope, microscope, dermatoscope, etc.), these innovative solutions enable experts and on-site technicians to share data and knowledge in real time, making remote support easier and more effective for users. They meet an increasing need for smart workplace transformation in companies seeking to boost productivity and competitiveness in a wide range of areas such as remote support, training, testing and healthcare.

These IFRS condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the 6-month period ending on June 30, 2024 have been approved by the Board of the Company on October 28, 2024.

2. Basis for preparation

2.1. Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the 6-month period ending on June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union (EU) and should be read in conjunction with the latest Company's annual financial statements for the year ending on December 31, 2024 of the Company (the "latest annual financial statements").

They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared under IFRS. They do, however, include selected notes explaining significant events and transactions in order to understand the changes in the Company's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The accounting policies used to prepare these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied by the Group as of December 31, 2023, except for:

  • texts whose application is compulsory as from January 1, 2024;
  • the specific provisions of IAS 34 used in the preparation of the interim financial statements.

The new texts that are mandatory as of January 1, 2024, are the following:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants;
  • Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Supplier Finance Agreements; and
  • Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.

The impact of these amendments is not significant.

The standards and interpretations not yet mandatory as of June 30, 2024 are the following:

  • Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates Lack of Exchangeability whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025 (not yet approved by the UE);
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 (not yet approved by the EU);
  • Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 et IAS 7 as part of the annual improvement process , whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 (not yet approved by the EU);
  • IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 (not yet approved by the EU);
  • IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 (not yet approved by the EU).

These texts have not been early adopted. The expected impacts are not considered significant, except for IFRS 18, for which the Group has not completed its assessment to date.

2.2. Use of judgments and estimates

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual values may differ from estimated values.

2.3. Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

2.4. Seasonality of operations

The Group is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations. The Group activity is linked to the progress of our clients' projects, which are not connected to seasonal events but depend on the internal schedules of each client.

3. Significant events of the period

In 2024:

  • In the first half 2024, AMA launched a global savings plan focused on scaling back its workforce by more 20 positions in France and 5 in other countries, with one non-priority commercial business units shut down in China and the management of the customers reassigned to the other subsidiaries. That's the reason why, a restructuring provision of €481k has been recorded in the group financial statements.
  • A shareholder loan was granted by Guillemot Brothers Ltd for €4,000k on June 3, 2024. The loan was later fully waived on June 4, 2024.
  • On 31 January 2022, AMA granted stock options to employees with an exercise price of €2.03, a vesting period ending on 31January 2024, and an option exercise period extending until 30 January 2028. On January 8, 2024, the Board of Directors, acting in accordance with section 16.2 of the plan, ratified a revision of the stock options' pricing. This adjustment involved issuing new options to supersede the original ones, aimed at maintaining their motivational value by lowering the exercise price from €2.03 to €0.21. This revision affected 878,500 stock options, which accounted for 1.7% of AMA's share capital. The financial impact recognized in January 2024 under IFRS 2 for this revision is €94 k.

In 2023:

  • AMA Corporation Plc has increased its shareholding in AMA Xperteye Inc of €3k.
  • On 12 June 2023, AMA launched a capital increase on Euronext Growth of an amount of €7,999k.
  • On 27 June 2023, AMA has completed its fund raising of €7,999k by issuing 30,769,230 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of £0.125, at the price of €0.26 per share. GUILLEMOT BROTHERS SAS subscribed to this capital increase in AMA Corporation Plc for a number of 30,682,640 new shares, increasing its stake in AMA from 34.38% before this capital increase to 72.15% after the transaction.
  • On 24 March 2023, the company established a stock option plan that represented 5% of AMA's share capital at the time. These stock options had a six-year lifespan and were exercisable at a price of €0.35 two years after their issuance, contingent upon meeting a condition of ongoing employment.
  • On 31 December 2023, AMA Corporation Plc waved part of its loan granted within the scope of the loan agreement dated January 1st, 2019 to AMA SA, amounting to €2,247k in order to improve the financial position of AMA SA for the fiscal year 2023.
  • The provision for employment safeguard plans has been partially reversed for €27k, of which €18k was used. A provision of €8k has been maintained 31 December 2023 to cover the costs of employees leaving the Group in 2024.

5.2. Consolidation scope

The impact of changes in non-controlling interests, while retaining control, are recognized in equity as indicated below:

On January 24, 2024, AMA Corporation Plc's wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, AMA Xperteye S.R.L. Italy, underwent liquidation. This action was carried out as part of the group's restructuring strategy initiated in 2022 and had no notable impact on the Group's consolidated financial position.

As a reminder, in 2023, AMA Corporation Plc has increased its shareholding in AMA XPERTEYE Inc for €3k. This operation resulted in an 0,7% increase in its equity interests.

6. Segment information

The Group's chief operating decision maker refers to the members of the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.

The Group comprises ten distribution subsidiaries, covering three geographic areas corresponding to the following segments:

• Europe, which includes subsidiaries in France, Germany, the UK, Romania and Spain and which primarily invoice customers in Europe;

• North America, which includes subsidiaries in the United States and Canada and which primarily invoice customers in the North American area;

• Asia, which includes subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Japan and which primarily invoice customers in the Asia area.

The subsidiaries in each geographic area correspond to operating segments with similar economic characteristics.

All of the subsidiaries offer similar products and services but are strategically monitored by geographic area.

Information relating to each operating segment is presented below. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA for each segment are used to measure performance as management considers that this information is the most relevant for understanding the earnings of each segment compared with earnings from other entities. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortisation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, share-based payment expenses, and other non-current expenses/income.

The other items in the income statement, including financial income and expenses as well as taxes, are included within "Registered office, support functions and intragroup".

The "Cost of Sales" in the income statement is equal to the sum of "Merchandise purchases" and "Change in inventories" (included in the Profit margin in the segment information table below) and "Inventory impairment" (excluded from the Profit margin).

The vesting period is two years. The contractual term is on January 30, 2028 for the first plan of 1 115 500 stocks initiated in 2022 and on March 27, 2029 for the second plan of 1 120 500 stocks initiated in 2023.

On January 8, 2024, the Board of Directors, acting in accordance with section 16.2 of the first plan, ratified a revision of the stock options' pricing. This adjustment involved issuing new options to supersede the original ones, aimed at maintaining their motivational value by lowering the exercise price from €2.03 to €0.21. This revision affected 878,500 stock options, which accounted for 1.7% of AMA's share capital.

The fair value of the stock options was measured based on Black-Scholes model. The inputs used to measure the 2022 stock options fair value at grant date are as follows:

SO 2022 SO 2023
Fair value at grant date €0,11 €0,15
Share price at grant date €0,27 €0,35

Total 37 (40)

On June 30, 2024, the "Other financial income" mainly comprises interest on bank savings (€29k) and cash equivalents income (€74k).

9. Taxation

The income tax expense is determined based on the pre-tax profit for the interim period multiplied by management's best estimate of the weighted average annual tax rate expected for the full year. This rate is adjusted for the tax effect of certain items fully recognized in the interim period. Accordingly, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management's estimate of the effective tax rate in the annual financial statements.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2024, the Group's effective tax rate for continuing operations is 25% (for the six-month period ending June 30, 2023: 19%).

10. Earnings per share

Earnings per share takes into account the June 27th, 2023, operations during which capital increase of 30 769 230 shares.

Earnings attributable to holders of ordinary shares (basic):

2024.06 2023.06
Net earnings attributable to owners of the Company (4 728) (4 079)
Net earnings attributable to holders of ordinary shares (4 728) (4 079)

Weighted average number of ordinary shares (basic and diluted):

2024.06 2023.06
Ordinary shares at 1 January 53 225 045 22 455 815
Capital decrease
Capital increase 512 821
Weighted average number of ordinary shares at 30 June 53 225 045 22 968 636
Basic earnings per share in € - 0,09 - 0,18
Diluted earnings per share in € - 0,09 - 0,18

Weighted average number of ordinary shares at 30 June 2024 does not include the outstanding stock options.

Indeed, as the result of continuing operations is a loss, instruments giving deferred rights to capital such as stock options have an anti-dilutive effect. They are therefore not considered, and basic earnings per share are therefore identical to diluted earnings per share.

11.3. Impairment tests

During the year 2022, the Group's market capitalization declined by more than 80% which constitutes an indication of impairment. To determine if the carrying amount of R&D at the end of June 2022 exceeded its recoverable amount, the company used the value-in-use method. The value in use method involves estimating the future cash flows that the R&D's cash-generating unit (CGU) will generate over the useful life of 5 years. All assets of the Group being largely dependent, budgets realized and validated by the management for all the Group are the most relevant inputs for estimating the future discounted cash flow generated by this R&D's CGU.

The comparison of this recoverable amount estimated under reasonable and supportable assumptions to the carrying amount of the Group's net assets led to depreciate R&D capitalized costs for their total amount.

In 2024, the underlying assumptions used in 2022 are maintained, and the research & development costs are recognized in expenses.
