Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group during the year were the development and commercialisation of Halo in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ("UAV") market.

Review and results of operations

Unless otherwise stated all figures in this report are in the Group's presentation currency US$.

Elsight Limited incurred a net loss for the half-year of $1,941,598 (30 June 2022: loss of $2,246,917). The decrease in loss of $305,319 from 30 June 2023 to 30 June 2022 is largely due to the Company’s focus on reducing its operational costs together with an increase in sales revenues. The half-year ended loss included selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,878,286, share based payment expenses of $242,245 and net finance expenses of $339,185.

The net assets of the Group have decreased by $1,795,844, from net assets of $1,849,496 at 31 December 2022 to net assets of $53,652 at 30 June 2023.

As of 30 June 2023, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents decreased from a balance of $5,194,794 of 31 December 2022 to a balance of $3,901,449 of 30 June 2023. As of 30 June 2023 the Group has a working capital of $4,280,622 (31 December 2022: $5,789,295).

Review of activities

Strong growth in recurring revenues

During the half-year, the Group continued to see robust growth in revenues, despite the early stage nature of the drone industry. The Group has also seen a significant increase in recurring revenues as Elsight’s proprietary data and cloud services are being deployed (along with the Halo) with new and existing customers. As the drone market moves towards mainstream and the rate of commercial adaptation grows, the impact of increasing recurring revenues are expected to become more and more material for the Group.

‘Design-Win’ Strategy

Elsight exceeded 100 strategic Design-Win partners during the half-year. These partners are at varying stages of development and deployment and will form the foundation of future, growth for the Group. The partners are from a range of industries and geographies including the US, Europe, and APAC. The list also includes some new partners from India following a successful trip to the Aero India trade show in February 2023.

The Group continued to receive small but consistent new orders from existing Design-Win partners such as DroneUp, Speedbird, Spright, and Xtend, as they continued to slowly grow their fleets and operations. Censys Technologies Corporation (Censys), a leading US-based drone manufacturer and services provider, also placed a repeat order during the half year following a period of trialling and integration. The commercial value of the Censys order was approximately US$120,000 and consisted of both upfront hardware as well as recurring software revenue. Like other Design-Win partners, the Company expects further orders to be received as Censys grows and expands its drone network. The design win strategy is a key to the Company’s success. As the market matures, these current small orders, from many of these 100+ design win partners, are expected to expand along with the growth of these partners and the industry as a whole resulting in organic growth for the Company with relatively minor sales effort and cost.

New Customers and Contracts

In May, Elsight won a strategic, multi-year public tender to supply Israeli Police and other Israeli government departments with solutions for Communication On-The-Move (COTM). After extensive testing, the Israeli Police ordered and implemented the use of dozens of Halo units in 2022 for forces in the field, with that number now expected to grow significantly in the last quarter of 2023, 2024, and beyond following this tender win.

In June, the Group received an order from the Israeli government which is separate from the tender mentioned above.

New Product Features and Developments

Elsight continues to innovate and was pleased to introduce two new major product features during the half-year.

The first feature relates to Remote ID being incorporated on all Halo devices to align with United States Federal Aviation Administration (US FAA part 89) requirements. Having this compliance will ease the certification process for partners who incorporate the Halo and will also provide cost savings for them by eliminating the need for additional dedicated hardware. The Halo RID capability was recently accepted by the FAA and it adheres to the FAA’s accepted RID-ASTM-F3586-22-NOA-2201 Means Of Compliance (MOC).

Remote ID allows UAS in flight to provide identification and location information that other parties can receive via a broadcast signal (in the US and via LTE in Europe). The technology is designed to provide increased safety and security in U.S. airspace as unmanned aerial systems become more ubiquitous. As the FAA mandates the inclusion of Remote ID for all UAS operating within the U.S. national airspace system from September 16, 2023 onwards, the Company timed the release of this feature accordingly.

The second new feature enables Halo to support automatic RF recording and upload to the cloud during the operation of the drone or other remote asset. By that, the Group will be building a reliable real-life database for communication performance in 4 dimensions (location + time) which can become a meaningful asset for the Company and provide a highly valued service to the operator.

These new features are expected to generate additional revenue for Elsight from existing and new customers moving forward, from up-sales and cross-sales activities.

During the half-year, Elsight also completed the successful integration of the Halo drone connectivity platform with Sagetech Avionics’ ACAS X-based Detect and Avoid (DAA) system for aircraft seeking type certification/airworthiness with Beyond the Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) concept operations. The ACAS/DAA integration with the Halo has been tested with multiple flights to gather data and validate the technology required to safeguard future BVLOS missions. The Group believes the successful integration with Sagetech continues to take the industry closer to routine BVLOS flight operations.

5G Open Innovation Lab

During the half-year, Elsight was selected as one of only 14 global companies to participate in the 5G Open Innovation Lab in the USA. The 5G Open Innovation Lab is an ecosystem for Startups, Enterprises, and Technology leaders pursuing the future edge of computing capabilities. During the participation, Elsight was able to collaborate with leading global companies and network operators like, Ericsson, T-Mobile, and Intel to enhance 5G capabilities and strengthen key strategic relationships.

Customer/Partner Progress

The Group’s partners and customers continued to make regulatory and commercial inroads in existing and new jurisdictions, further driving Halo adoption:

  • DroneUp has continued to expand their delivery service within Walmart;

  • Spright was awarded the first nationwide, non-geo-specific Certificate of Waiver (CoW) for Beyond the Visual Line of Sight drone operations by the FAA;

  • Airobotics received a multi-system purchase from SkyGo, a UAE-based company with a commercial license to provide unmanned aerial transport of goods and services across the city of Abu Dhabi; and

  • Speedbird Aero announced that it was granted a Type Certificate from ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil) with the Halo onboard as the connectivity solution provider. Speedbird also started a successful operations outside of Brazil with the UK post office services.

Corporate

In April the Group issued an additional 433,833 convertible notes, resulting in net cash proceeds to the Group of US$70K. The terms and conditions of the convertible notes are disclosed at note 11.

Cash at bank at 30 June 2023 totalled US$3,901K.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the half-year.

Matters subsequent to the reporting period

On 31 July 2023 200,000 options exercisable at $A0.675 and 55,000 options exercisable at A$0.60 expired without exercise or conversion.

On 11 August 2023 the Group incorporated a subsidiary in the USA.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Through the half-year ended 30 June 2023 total grant proceeds obtained amounted to US$181,190. The total grant is expected to be worth approximately US$450,000 (ILS 1,570,624).

Repayments are linked to the exchange rate of the US dollar and bear interest at annual LIBOR rates.

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

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Elsight Limited (Company) and its subsidiary (Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

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 Elsight Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of Group’s financial position as at 30 June 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 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 Group 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.

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

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the Elsight Limited 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 for the Review of the Financial Report

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 Group’s financial position as at 30 June 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.
