(*) For the purposes of calculating net tangible assets per security, the carrying values of the Right-ofuse assets and the related lease liabilities have been excluded from the calculations.

Control has been gained or lost during the period

There are no entities over which control has been gained or lost during the period.

Associates and joint venture entities

During the half-year ended 31 December 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement for the acquisition of a 20% interest in UK based MAVIS Broadcast Limited. MAVIS technology underpins the suite of solutions offered by the Atomos Cloud Studio subscription plans. The acquisition allows the Company to enable a step-change in Atomos’ product offering with innovative cloud service solutions that enable collaboration workflows for the masses.

The strategic investment also includes the provision of exclusive rights granted to the Company including:

  • Exclusive access to MAVIS technology and their built-for-purpose video streaming protocol and live production in the cloud solution

  • Pre-emptive rights to additional investment in MAVIS for five years

  • A seat on the board of MAVIS Broadcast Limited

During the half-year, the Company exercised the first option of the subscription agreement and provided consideration for acquiring a 10% interest in MAVIS Broadcast Limited. A second option is available to the Company to acquire a further 10% interest. If the Company decides not to exercise the second option, the pre-emptive rights to additional investment in MAVIS for five years and the seat on the board of MAVIS Broadcast Limited are waived.

Atomos has yet to commercialise the majority of the products which will utilise MAVIS technology and therefore have recognised $1.8m as an impairment of associate during the half-year within the Group’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The Company will continue to assess the carrying value of the investment in associate once the level of subscription revenue generated by the Atomos Cloud Studio products and services has been established.

Atomos owns 10% of MAVIS Broadcast Limited.

Dividend reinvestment plans

The Company currently does not have a dividend reinvestment plan.

Review of operations

During the first half of FY23 the Company experienced very weak sales as a result of a deterioration in economic conditions in the industry and slower than anticipated momentum from the company’s most recently released products. The Company also experienced lower gross margins attributed by higher cost of sales from promotional pricing and higher inventory obsolescence provisioning.

4

One of the consequences of the economic downturn in the industry is that our channel partner customers have become very focussed on their own inventory levels and we’ve seen a concerted effort to ‘de-stock’ from many of our customers. This ‘de-stocking’ is temporary, and we expect an uplift in sales as our channel partners realise their target inventory levels.

The COVID pandemic created significant supply chain challenges within the semi-conductor industry and the company’s inventory levels rose significantly.

Management acted quickly to address these challenges by reducing the fixed costs of the business by approximately 30% and ensuring that inventory management is optimised such that incremental purchases are limited to what is actually required to achieve the planned sales.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

In the opinion of the directors, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the following;

  • The Group achieving short term revenue growth, inventory reduction and associated cash inflow forecasts.

  • The Group complying with the financial covenants associated with the debt facility, and being able to make repayments in line with the repayment schedule as detailed in note 13.

  • The Group adhering to the payment plans agreed with key suppliers, and having access to their continued supply beyond that on standard payment terms.

  • No significant payout of legal costs being incurred in the defence against the claim from the former CEO.

As detailed in the going concern note on page 14, if the Group is unable to achieve successful outcomes in respect of the above matters and the additional actions, then there would be a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General information

Atomos Limited (Atomos) is a public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Atomos is the Group’s ultimate holding Company. The Group listed on the ASX on 28 December 2018 (ASX:AMS).

The principal activities of the Group were the manufacture and wholesaling of video equipment. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the year. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 700 Swanston Street, Carlton, Victoria 3053.

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2022 were approved and authorised for issue by the board of Directors on 6[th] April 2023.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The half year report does not include the type of notes normally included in the annual report. This should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical costs. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in the functional currency of Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 , dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2022 annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time, however they do not have an impact on the interim financial statements.

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative amounts have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current financial year.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the half year ended 31 December 2022, the Group generated revenue of $21.1m (December 2021 $40.9m), incurred a loss after tax of $48.2m (December 2021 profit $0.3m), including non-cash asset impairments of $32.5m, and reported negative cash flows of $1.5m (December 2021 negative $5.8m)

14

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2022

and $4.6m (December 2021 negative $3.6m) from operating and investing activities respectively. As at 28 February 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $3.4m.

During the first half of FY23 the Group experienced very weak sales and slower than anticipated momentum from the company’s most recently released products. In light of this, the following initiatives were successfully undertaken:

  • The Company raised capital, resulting in a $16.77m cash inflow after costs, during the period;

  • Significantly reduced the cost base of the business by approximately 30% compared to the half year period;

  • Adjusted production plans and stock management to release working capital through a structured run-down of inventory from currently high levels;

  • Restructured existing financing arrangements and sought waivers in respect of covenant compliance as detailed in note 13; and

  • Negotiated extended payment terms through entering into payment plans with key suppliers.

Given the continued uncertainties which exist in the current economic environment, management have prepared detailed cash flow forecasts for the next 24 months. The cash flow forecasts have been presented to and approved by the Board.

Management have conducted sensitivity analysis on the forecasts, considering reasonably possible downside impacts on revenue.

The key assumptions in Atomos’ forecasts are dependent on:

  • The ability to generate the level of revenues forecast and receive payment from customers in accordance with standard trading terms and conditions;

  • Adherence to the agreed payment plans and ongoing support from suppliers if these are not met;

  • • Continued support from the Group’s financier, including the provision of waivers if the revised covenants (as detailed in note 13) are breached during the forecast period; and

  • No material payout in relation to legal matters described in note 18.

The cashflow forecast assumes trading in the second half of FY23 to be consistent with the first half of FY23. However, the second half of FY23 has commenced trading at levels lower than the first half, which results in an immediate considerable improvement required in trading in order to meet the cash flow forecast, with monthly revenue over $4m forecast from March onwards. The annual revenue growth is expected to improve across FY24 (36% growth) and beyond, in particular with a significant improvement (30%) to revenue forecast for the first half of FY24. It should be noted that the cash flow forecasts assume nil sales from new products to be launched in 2H FY23.

Extended supplier payment plans have been contractually agreed with three of the four major suppliers as a mitigation to short term (next nine months) cashflow risks. These payment plans are being adhered to and are forecast to be adhered to. It is expected that these suppliers will continue to supply and that the Group will be able to meet their payment obligations in terms of standard payment terms over the remainder of the forecast period.

Note 18 details that the Company has been served by former CEO, Estelle McGechie, in relation to an employment related complaint. The cashflow forecast does not consider any potential cash outflows associated with this matter.

15

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2022

The Group is subject to covenant clauses under its secured bilateral term facility. The Group expected to breach covenants at the December 2022 calculation date and obtained a waiver from the financier in anticipation of the breach. These breaches were caused by the Group failing to achieve minimum revenue and profitability thresholds and the consequent impact on leverage and interest cover ratios.

Anticipating further breaches in future, the covenants were recently renegotiated as detailed in note 13 to provide waivers to the earnings-based covenants as well as the addition of two new asset-based covenants and revised minimum revenue targets to be met from 1 April 2023 onwards. It should be noted that the waivers are conditional on adhering to the revised ratios and an accelerated repayment schedule. The waiver also stipulates minimum cleared cash balances to be held by the Group of $1m each month from 31 May 2023. The group is forecasting to meet these revised covenants if the forecasted revenue, inventory reduction and supplier payment plans are achieved. Should the Group fail to comply with the revised covenants and the conditions attached to those covenants, an event of default would arise and the total debt under the term facility would become due and payable. Note 13 provides greater detail of these changes.

In the opinion of the directors, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the following;

  • The Group achieving short term revenue growth, inventory reduction and associated cash inflow forecasts.

  • The Group complying with the financial covenants associated with the debt facility, and being able to make repayments in line with the repayment schedule as detailed in note 13.

  • The Group adhering to the payment plans agreed with key suppliers, and having access to their continued supply beyond that on standard payment terms.

  • No significant payout of legal costs being incurred in the defence against the claim from the former CEO.

If the Group is unable to achieve successful outcomes in respect of the above matters, in the directors’ opinion the Group could pursue the following additional actions:

  • Further accommodation from suppliers with regards to extending the repayment plans.

  • Equity capital raise for up to 10% of issued capital (without requiring shareholder approval).

  • Disposal of a business unit which is under discussion but commercially sensitive to detail further.

  • Refinance the existing finance facility.

  • With shareholder approval, raise further capital.

If the Group is unable to achieve successful outcomes in respect of the above matters and the additional actions, then there would be a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Restatement of prior period comparatives

In June 2022, the Group deferred the recognition of $8.7m of revenue until July 2022 (in the next reporting period). The revenue that was deferred related to sales contracts with customers whereby those customers agreed to a change in shipping terms for the products they had purchased from

16

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2022

Atomos. The Group accounted for this deferral by recognising a $8.7m deferred revenue liability as at 30 June 2022 as well as recognising trade receivables in respect of these transactions.

After the 30 June 2022 financial statements were issued, the Group reviewed the trade receivables that were the subject of this adjustment and concluded that, after considering all information available at that time, the balances recorded did not fairly reflect the effects of the transactions as at 30 June 2022. In light of this review, the Group considers that this adjustment is better presented as a reduction in trade receivables. Therefore, notwithstanding that the Group considers this change to not be material, it has taken the decision to restate each of the affected financial statement line items as follows:

==> picture [456 x 135] intentionally omitted <==

The change did not have an impact on the Statement of Profit or Loss, basic and diluted earnings per share, OCI, or the Group's operating, investing and financing cash flows.

3. Segment reporting

The Group operates in one segment being the manufacture and sale of video equipment. No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segment of the Group.

The Company reports revenues from external customers attributable to the following geographic regions:

  • North America

  • Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

  • Asia Pacific (APAC)

  • Other

5. Income tax expense

==> picture [473 x 178] intentionally omitted <==

Net deferred tax assets relating to losses and timing differences continue to be de-recognised in the statement of financial position due to uncertainty as to the timing of their recoupment from sufficient future taxable income.

6. Change in accounting estimates

There have been no significant changes in accounting estimates during the period.

7. Dividends

There were no dividends paid or declared to equity holders during or since the half-year ended 31 December 2022. There were no dividends paid during the comparative period.

8. Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following:

==> picture [455 x 124] intentionally omitted <==

In the half-year ended 31 December 2022, the potential ordinary shares are deemed anti-dilutive as the Company is in a loss position and therefore excluded from the weighted average number ordinary shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share.

11. Intangible assets

==> picture [489 x 283] intentionally omitted <==

AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life to be assessed at the end of each reporting period where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. A review of indicators of impairment using both external and internal sources of information has been undertaken. For the purpose of the impairment assessment a single Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”), being the Atomos Global Group, has been identified.

As at 31 December 2022, there were indicators of impairment due to the poor financial performance of the Group during the half-year period and the current market capitalisation position. As a result, the recoverable amount of the assets relating to the CGU have been assessed using a value-in-use discounted cash flow model. This model uses cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond five-year periods are extrapolated using a terminal growth rate.

During the period, the carrying value exceeded the recoverable amount and an impairment charge of $30.676 million has been recognised in respect of Goodwill, Patents and Product IP and Capitalised Development Costs. This impairment charge has been included within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

The decrease in the recoverable amount reflects current future cashflow expectations due to the slower than anticipated momentum from the company’s most recently released products, coupled with the de-stocking from channel partners, which impacts forecast near term financial performance.

20

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2022

The key assumptions used in the model are:

  • Long term growth rate of 2%

  • Post tax discount rate of 14.1%

  • Average revenue growth rate across the forecast period of 17%

The recoverable amount is highly sensitive to changes in the revenue growth assumption. Whilst noncurrent intangible assets have been impaired in totality, improvements in forecast revenue growth may result in reversals of the impairment charge for intangible assets other than goodwill in the future. The impairment charge recognised in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

12. Investment in associate

During the half-year ended 31 December 2022, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement for the acquisition of a 20% interest in UK based MAVIS Broadcast Limited. MAVIS technology underpins the suite of solutions offered under the Atomos Cloud Studio suite of products. This technology will enable a step-change in the Atomos product offering with innovative cloud service solutions that enable collaboration workflows for the masses.

The strategic investment also includes the provision of exclusive rights granted to the Company including:

  • Exclusive access to MAVIS technology and their built-for-purpose video streaming protocol and live production in the cloud solution

  • Pre-emptive rights to additional investment in MAVIS for five years

  • A seat on the board of MAVIS Limited

During the half-year, the Company exercised the first option of the subscription agreement and provided consideration of $1.8m in acquiring 10% interest to MAVIS Broadcast Limited. A second option is available to the Company in acquiring a further 10% interest. If the Company decides not to exercise the second option, the pre-emptive rights to additional investment in MAVIS for five years and the seat on the board of MAVIS Broadcast Limited are waived.

The Company’s interest in MAVIS is accounted for using the equity method in the half-yearly report. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

Atomos has yet to commercialise the majority of the products which will utilise MAVIS technology and therefore have recognised $1.8m as an impairment of associate during the half-year within the Group’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The Company will continue to assess the carrying value of the investment in associate once the level of subscription revenue generated by the Atomos Cloud Studio products and services has been established.

21

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2022

13. Borrowings

==> picture [439 x 378] intentionally omitted <==

The Company measures financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

In December the Company advised its lender that it expected to breach the interest cover and leverage ratios and that it would not achieve the minimum required revenue and EBITDA levels under its facility agreement. Prior to 31 December 2022, the lender agreed to waive each of these covenants in exchange for an increased amortisation payment in December 2022 of $300,000.

In March 2023, the Company obtained the following covenant waivers:

  • Testing of the Leverage and interest cover ratios to be waived up to and including the calculation date ending on 30 June 2024; and

  • Review events triggered by 12-month trailing EBITDA being less than $4 million or trailing revenue being less than $80 million to be waived until the facility maturity date of 31 December 2024.

22

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2022

These waivers were granted subject to the following conditions:

  • The minimum balance of funds held in bank accounts of the obligors to the facility at the end of each calendar month being at least $1 million on and from 31 May 2023;

  • The current ratio at the end of each calendar month on and from 31 May 2023 being greater than 1.5x;

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Atomos Limited

Disclaimer of Conclusion

We have been engaged to review the half-year financial report of Atomos Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

We do not express a conclusion on the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group because of the significance of the matter(s) described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion section of our report. We have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to enable us to express a conclusion as to whether the accompanying half-year financial report of Atomos Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 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 Disclaimer of Conclusion

We draw attention to Note 2 of the half-year financial report, which indicates the Group incurred a loss of $48.2m and reported negative cash flows of $1.5m from operating activities and $4.6m from investing activities. As stated in Note 2, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on their ability to meet short term significant and sustained revenue growth and associated cash flows and continue to obtain forbearance from financiers and suppliers should they be unable to meet contractual payments.

The circumstances as at the date of signing this report are such that we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence as to whether the Group will be able to achieve successful outcomes in relation to the initiatives/actions detailed in Note 2. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the half-year financial report. The half-year financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Given the above, the uncertainties outlined above are so material and pervasive to the half-year financial report that we are unable to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report taken as a whole.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Half-year 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.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report

Our responsibility is to conduct a review of the Group’s financial report in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independence Auditor of the Entity. However, because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion section, we were not able to obtain sufficient evidence to provide a basis for a review conclusion on the financial report.
