Principal activities

The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the course of the half year were the operation of surveillance solutions and managed services:

  • Surveillance solutions – specialised hardware systems, incorporating video, audio, GPS tracking, communications and high-speed recording technology; supported by sophisticated device and data management software to provide a comprehensive, fleet-wide, CCTV and vehicle management solution.

  • Managed services – back-end control room communications and infrastructure comprising wide-area urban surveillance, driver development and risk mitigation, video management, vehicle data analysis and monitoring, schedule adherence analysis, IT infrastructure, help desk, technical support and monitoring, and first line maintenance.

DTI markets and distributes its product range to customers around the world, both directly and in conjunction with a network of integrators and business partners.

DTI is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company is publicly listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code “DTI”.

Review of operations

DTI progressed to the next step in the Company’s evolution with the successful listing on the ASX in early December 2014. As DTI provides its solutions to a range of private enterprise and government sectors both domestically and internationally, listing on ASX will assist the Company to expand its profile to additional customers and regions in the future. The initial public offering of 6.68 million new shares was conducted to provide the Company with additional working capital and funding to support the future growth of the Company, to enhance DTI’s flexibility to pursue growth opportunities, including possible acquisitions, to provide DTI with the benefits of an increased profile from being a listed entity, and to provide investors an opportunity to become a shareholder of DTI.

Review of operations (contd)

As described in DTI’s prospectus (“Prospectus”) issued on 31 October 2014, the forecasted revenue for the six-month period ending 31 December 2014 was expected to be approximately $7.80 million resulting in a first half forecast EBITDA performance of $0.29 million. The forecast first half NPAT loss was ($0.18 million). The actual revenue for the six-month period ending 31 December 2014 was $6.59 million resulting in a first half EBITDA performance loss of ($0.05 million) and NPAT loss of ($0.20 million). The reduction in revenue and performance is primarily due to the late deferral of December deliveries to the US market due to matters unrelated to DTI.

However, it should be noted that the outlook for DTI in the mobile security market remains very strong and this is reinforced by the record number of prospects currently being pursued which total over 100 with a corresponding value of over $200 million.

Australasia

DTI maintained its strong market position in the Australian transit sector in the first half with sales of $3.65 million being slightly above the half-year forecast for the Australasian market. These sales include a wide range of customers in Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Tasmania, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. In the first half, DTI signed a multi-year maintenance contract with the Dyson Group, one of Victoria’s largest bus companies and has recently signed a contract for video surveillance systems by Yarra Trams to be installed on its C2 Citadis trams in Melbourne. The Yarra Trams network includes 487 trams and with 250 kilometres of double track, Melbourne's tram network is the largest in the world.

Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)

DTI experienced strong growth in the EMEA market with sales growing from $0.34 million in the first half of the 2014 financial year to $1.34 million in the first half of the 2015 financial year. These sales were slightly below the half year forecast.

An order for the supply, monitoring and long-term support of advanced on-board video surveillance systems was announced in January 2015 as part of the class 321 rail vehicle refurbishment project for Eversholt Rail Group Ltd. This latest deployment raises the number of Class 321 and Class 315 rail cars installed with DTI’s surveillance technology to over 700 – the majority of which operate daily as part of the London commuter rail network. Also in the UK, DTI announced in July 2014 the order and initial deliveries of video surveillance systems for 100 new double and single deck vehicles from Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL). ADL is the largest bus and coach manufacturer in the United Kingdom.

DTI opened a French office located in the city of Besançon in July 2014 in order to expand into the French market. Concurrent with the establishment of an office, DTI received its first order in France from Cibest for the supply of advanced video equipment for 100 buses in the region of Grand Besançon and building on this initial success in France, an order with its French partner, Cibest was issued for 36 advanced video surveillance systems for the Marseille Metro in August 2014.

In July 2014, DTI received an order to provide 30 video surveillance systems for Tshwane Buses covering Pretoria in South Africa. DTI has recently opened an office in South Africa to build on this success and to pursue a further range of active prospects in South Africa. This investment in South Africa forms an important part of DTI’s growth strategy of extending the reach of the Company’s offering to transit operators primarily in bus and rail in the region as outlined in the Prospectus.

DTI announced in July 2014 an initial order of video surveillance systems by the Polish railway vehicle manufacturer PESA for delivery to ZKM Gda � sk, the operator of the trams in Gda � sk Poland. Following this order, DTI announced the receipt of two further orders in Poland. The first project includes an order for 30 video surveillance systems by DTI’s Polish partners, DTI Polska Sp. z o.o. and R&G Plus Sp. z o.o, for delivery to MPK - � od � Sp. z o.o., the operator of the trams in � od � Poland. The second project includes an order for 16 video surveillance systems by the Polish railway vehicle manufacturer and refurbishment company, Modertrans Pozna � Sp. z o.o. for delivery to ZKM Gda � sk Sp. z o.o., the operator of the trams in Gda � sk, Poland.

Review of Operations (contd)

Americas

DTI experienced weak sales in the Americas market in the first half of the 2015 financial year due to timing issues with deliveries due to matters unrelated to DTI as explained below. The sales of $1.60 million were significantly below the half year forecast.

As mentioned in the 2014 Annual Report, a key US city, which initially equipped 426 buses with digital surveillance systems in 2011 and a further 1,100 units equipped throughout the 2012–13 financial year, is proceeding with a further expansion in the 2015 and 2016 financial years with an order for over 900 systems, but the manufacture of the buses has been delayed due to matters unrelated to DTI. Options of more than 200 out of 600 in the contract are understood to be in the process of being exercised.

In July 2014, DTI announced that its advanced surveillance solution has been specified in a bus procurement tender issued by the San Francisco MTA. The bus procurement tender includes the manufacture of up to 454 buses over a five-year period with orders now expected to commence towards the end of this financial year. The tender states that the contractor shall provide and install a digital video recording and surveillance system by DTI or an approved equal. This is a strong statement as it highlights the customer’s preference for DTI products going forward for the next five years. The Company is also hopeful that the DTI solution is recommended for further vehicle procurements with the MTA such as the 64 vehicle light rail project which has options of up to 260 cars.

In January 2015, DTI created a wholly owned subsidiary in the USA. The subsidiary will be an effective structure for DTI to become closer to specific customers in the very large North American market. This subsidiary forms an important part of DTI’s growth strategy of extending the reach of DTI’s offering to transit operators primarily in bus and rail in North America as outlined in the Prospectus.

Cash position

The Company’s cash balance improved to $3.2 million from $1.4 million at the end of June 2014. This was previously due to the net cash proceeds from the Company’s initial public offer.

Dividend

No dividends have been declared, provided for or paid in respect of the half-year (31 December 2013: Nil).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

==> picture [86 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2014 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .

This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014 together with public announcements and documents made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Listing Rules.

DTI is a for-profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares have been publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange from 9 December 2014.

As a result of becoming a disclosing entity during the half-year, the Company has prepared this interim half-year financial report in accordance with the requirements of AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 for the first time and has provided the disclosures required of a disclosing entity, including segment reporting and earnings per share information. Comparatives for these new disclosures have been provided.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except as set out below:

New and amended standards adopted by the group

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period; however, the group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. There will be some changes to the disclosures in the 30 June 2015 annual report as a consequence of these amendments.

Accounting policies adopted by the group upon becoming a disclosing entity

(a) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the Board of DTI which assesses the financial performance and position of the group, and makes strategic decisions.

(b) Earnings per share

  • (i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

  • the profit or loss attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares

  • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year,

adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies (contd)

  • (ii) Diluted earnings per share

  • Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares

  • the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of DTI Group Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of DTI Group Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility 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 is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, 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 consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 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 . As the auditor of DTI Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of DTI Group Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Conclusion

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

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001
