Comments

The consolidated entity’s revenue for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 totaled $24,735,744, an increase of 24.7% in comparison to the half-year ended 31 December 2022, where revenue totaled $19,837,768. The increase in revenue is largely due to:

  • Australian Capital Territory mobile phone detection camera contract and Queensland trailer-based transportable speed camera contract;

  • variations and expansion of contracts with some existing customers; and

  • growth from international markets, namely the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US).

The consolidated entity generated an operating loss after income tax expense of $241,430 (31 December 2022: operating loss after income tax expense of $262,802). Despite revenue growth, the operating loss after income tax expense remains relatively in line with prior year due to higher operating expenses as the business invested for future growth.

Half-Year Financial Statements – 31 December 2023

Acusensus Limited Directors' report 31 December 2023

==> picture [34 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Acusensus Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2023.

Directors

The following persons were Directors of Acusensus Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Alexander Jannink Ravin Mirchandani Susan Klose Michael Giuffrida (appointed 9 October 2023)

Principal activities

During the financial half-year the principal activities of the consolidated entity consisted of the provision of world-leading technology to detect and capture prosecutable evidence of drivers’ illegal mobile phone use, seatbelt use, and speed detection.

There has been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the half-year.

Review of operations

The consolidated entity’s revenue for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 totaled $24,735,744, an increase of 24.7% in comparison to the half-year ended 31 December 2022, where revenue totaled $19,837,768. The increase in revenue is largely due to:

  • Australian Capital Territory mobile phone detection camera contract and Queensland trailer-based transportable speed camera contract;

  • variations and expansion of contracts with some existing customers; and

  • growth from international markets, namely the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US).

The consolidated entity generated an operating loss after income tax expense of $241,430 (31 December 2022: operating loss after income tax expense of $262,802). Despite revenue growth, the operating loss after income tax expense remains relatively in line with prior year due to higher operating expenses as the business invested for future growth.

The strength and demand for the Company’s products in Australia has continued and is evidenced by the signing of new contracts, as well as, extension and expansion of existing contracts. Further to the aforementioned contracts:

  • On 26 July 2023, the Company announced Acusensus Australia Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acusensus Limited, entered into a contract with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads for the provision of phone awareness monitoring and tailgating monitoring services to support public awareness road safety initiatives. In an Australian first and with the aim of improving driver behaviour, the technology will be deployed in pilots to monitor and detect drivers who are using a mobile phone whilst driving, before providing an immediate signage prompt to alert those drivers of this unsafe behaviour. Monitoring and similar signage prompts will also be given to drivers who are tailgating other motorists. The services outlined in the agreement are expected to be completed before October 2024. The estimated total contract value over the term of the agreement is in excess of $0.6 million (excluding GST).

  • On 15 August 2023, the Company announced Acusensus Australia Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acusensus Limited, entered into a contract variation with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads to increase the scope of the contract. Additional transportable systems for mobile phone and seatbelt detection services will be provided over a five-year term. The estimated contract variation value over the term of the agreement is $9.3 million (excluding GST).

  • On 29 November 2023, the Company announced Acusensus Australia Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acusensus Limited, extended the existing mobile phone detection camera agreement with Transport for New South Wales for an additional year of services until 30 November 2024. The contract extension value is expected to total $4.1 million (excluding GST).

In addition, Acusensus continues to build interest and awareness in the Company’s solutions to enforce distracted driving and speed internationally.

Acusensus Limited Directors' report 31 December 2023

==> picture [34 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Review of operations (continued)

In the US, the Company has signed a short-term contract with the Arkansas Department for real-time speed enforcement in work zones. It is also continuing negotiations with three other clients who have been successful in applying for federal grant funding for the use of distracted driving detection solutions.

In the UK, the Company is in discussions with a number of road and police authorities for pilots and has an ongoing relationship with Devon & Cornwall Police, following on from a successful pilot in the financial half-year.

The Company continues to make progress with new product development initiatives. The Acusensus Guardian roadworker protection product commenced real-world testing, while the Company’s impaired driving project is expected to commence real-world testing in the coming months.

The Company successfully enacted a re-organisation to best position itself for scale and growth. The new structure in place creates a foundation to increase sales activity and to grow services sustainably across multiple contracts. The Company is investing in people and processes ahead of FY25.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year

On 8 January 2024, the Company announced Acusensus Australia Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acusensus Limited, entered into a contract with the South Australia Government for the provision of fixed mobile phone detection camera. The agreement is for a five-year term, with an option for an additional one year. The estimated total contract value over the initial five-year term of the agreement is $5 million (excluding GST).

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

These general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2023 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding halfyear reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

These operating segments are identified based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. Similar operating segments can be aggregated to form one reportable segment. Accordingly, the consolidated entity only operates as one segment.

Accounting policy for operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Board of Directors. The Directors are responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Going concern

The consolidated entity’s financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

On 25 July 2023, a resolution was approved for the subdivision of capital with every one share being subdivided into five shares. All options on issue were subdivided in the same ratio as the subdivision of capital in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.22.2. In accordance with AASB 133 Earning per Share, the number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the proportion change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Due to the consolidated entity’s loss position, options have been excluded from the above calculations as its inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

*Basic and diluted loss per share have been rounded to two decimal places.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Acusensus Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Acusensus Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
