Review of operations

During the first half of FY24 the Company continues to experience weak sales as a result of the ongoing deterioration in economic conditions, slower than anticipated momentum from the company’s most recently released products, working capital constraints impacting finished goods available, supply chain challenges and disruptions from the Writers Guild of America strike. While revenues were weaker, the Company experienced higher gross margins attributed by improvements to the mix of margin across our product range, including higher margins from our new products.

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2023

Despite these challenges, we have taken several measures to stabilise and re-position Atomos for growth including:

  • Reduction in fixed operating costs by approximately 45% compared to 1H FY2023

  • Reduction of inventory by approximately 61% since FY2023

  • Re-assignment of debt facility under improved terms, including the waiver of financial covenants

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 successful completion of the recapitalisation plan.

  • 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.

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.

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 2023 annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023. 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 2023, the Group generated revenue of $17.4m (December 2022 $21.1m), incurred a loss after tax of $7.5m (December 2022 loss $48.2m), and reported negative cash flows of $2.0m (December 2022 negative $1.5m) from operating activities. The Group had a net current liability position at 31 December 2023 of $0.22m (30 June 2023 net current asset position of $7.92m).

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2023

During the first half of FY24 the Group experienced 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:

  • Significantly reduced the cost base of the business by approximately 45% compared to the previous half year period, resulting from the commencement of the Company’s restructuring plans;

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

  • Re-assignment of the debt facility under improved terms, including the waiver of financial covenants; and

  • Received continued support from key suppliers through payment plans.

Given the continued uncertainties which exist in the current economic environment, management have prepared detailed cash flow forecasts for the next 18 months. The cash flow forecasts have been presented to and approved by the Board.

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;

  • Increasing the Domazet FT3 Pty Ltd debt facility to provide short-term working capital;

  • Successful completion of the recapitalisation plan to be announced to the market shortly (a capital raising mandate has been signed with Henslow and the process is at an advanced stage);

  • Successful delivery of ongoing cost reduction measures;

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

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

The cashflow forecast assumes trading in the second half of FY24 to be higher than the first half of FY24. Revenue achieved in January 24 was 25% higher than January 23 at $3.2m. For full year FY24, the Company’s fixed operating costs are expected to be 20% less than FY23.

During 1H FY24 the Group’s debt facility was acquired by Domazet FT3 Pty Ltd (detailed in note 13) and the terms under the amended debt facility were considerably more favourable to the Group, including:

  • An increase to the available facility limit to $5.0 million with no line fee.

  • Waiver of all financial covenants in place.

  • No scheduled amortisation.

  • Improved terms on the capitalisation of interest.

Extended supplier payment plans have been agreed with two major suppliers as a means of managing cashflow. 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.

17

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2023

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

  • The Group continues to rationalise the business by achieving short term revenue growth, inventory reduction and cost reduction with the view of returning to positive cash inflows from operations.

  • Successful completion of a recapitalisation plan whether via relisting on the ASX or whilst remaining suspended.

  • Increasing the debt facility provided by Domazet FT3 Pty Ltd to $8.0m.

  • 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.

  • The launch of new products introduced by returning founder for release Q4 2024 which are delivered on time and on budget.

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.

  • Source a working capital facility, assuming the Domazet FT3 Pty Ltd is repaid from proceeds of recapitalisation plan.

  • Prepayments of new product launches can be sought from distribution partners.

  • Further cost reductions to the fixed cost base are executed should sales continue to be below expectations.

In the event the Company is unable to achieve the matters set out above, there is a material uncertainty whether it will be able to continue as a going concern. 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.

7. Dividends

There were no dividends paid or declared to equity holders during or since the half-year ended 31 December 2023. 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:

Consolidated Consolidated
Half-year ended

$'000 $'000
Profit/(loss) attributable to the owners of the Company (7,534) (48,227)

Weighted average number of shares used in calculating diluted EPS 401,847,949 224,713,071

In the half-year ended 31 December 2023, 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.

12. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the Group’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within Level 2 and Level 3

The valuation of equity instruments held at fair value relating to the investment in MAVIS Broadcast Limited is based on the consideration in acquiring 10% interest in the respective company which took place during the year. The fair value of the investment is further supported by historical capital raises and offers of acquisition which MAVIS received.

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 October 2023 the Company’s debt funding arrangement provided by Arrowpoint Capital Finance 103 Pty Ltd (Arrowpoint) was acquired by Domazet FT3 Pty Ltd (Doma), a substantial holder of the Company.

The Company, Arrowpoint and Doma entered into a Deed of Novation, Assignment and Amendment that provides for Doma’s acquisition of the debt facility from Arrowpoint.

22

Atomos Limited Interim financial report for the six-months ended 31 December 2023

Under the deed, the terms of the debt facility were considerably more favourable to the Company, including:

  • An increase to the available facility limit to $5.0 million with no line fee.

  • Waiver of all financial covenants in place.

  • No scheduled amortisation.

  • Improved terms on the capitalisation of interest.

The balance held as at 31 December 2023 consists of the principal amount ($5.0m) and capitalised interest ($0.1m)

The cashflow forecast as detailed in the going concern note is reflective of the above, in addition to the recapitalisation plan contemplated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATOMOS LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year interim financial report of Atomos Limited ( the Company ) and its subsidiaries (together the Group ), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of material accounting policy information 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 condensed half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

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

  • b. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis of 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 our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2 of the interim financial report, which identifies that during the half-year ended the Group incurred a consolidated net loss of $7,534,000 (2022: loss $48,227,000) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,998,000 (2022: outflow of $1,515,000). These events and conditions, along with other mattes as set forth in Note 2 indicates a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company 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 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 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.
