February, 2021

Dear Shareholders,

Everyday, we hear that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has been challenging, and for Motio, it wasn’t any different.

That said, we are pleased with our results for the first half of this financial year (1HFY21). Our positive performance would not have been possible without the strong support of our Rail partners and suppliers, our team members and the Government stimulus that allowed Motio to pursue its goals and continue to deliver on its mission.

This half, Motio undertook a successful capital raise, strengthening our financial position and enabling investment in our business which is now configured for growth and to pursue the opportunities that are emerging as the market regains confidence.

As you would expect, our audiences across Motio Health, Play and Go channels are strengthening. This has enabled Motio Media to continue to grow with the investment in the team well founded. Both Local and National sales are continuing to swell and programmatic revenues continue to show promise. The Software and Payments business offers an exciting addition to our future in the Motio Play business, and whilst early, customer feedback has been positive.

Motio is working with its partners to ensure our transition away from the Rail sector is successful and seamless. Motio is confident and on track to deliver on its growth mission and diversify its business by mid 2021.

Achieving an underlying EBITDA[1] of $301,177 whilst establishing the foundations to transition and scale the business in a challenging trading period is testament to a tremendous team effort - I am quietly optimistic about the outlook for our business in the second half – we are in a strong cash position, debt free and continue to be encouraged around future possibilities.

On a final note, I really want to thank our shareholders for continuing to help Motio grow. I am very pleased with the shareholder value that has been realised over the past 6 months. As always, please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions that I may be able to answer.

Thanks for your continued support,

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Motio is a leading Place Based and location Intelligence media company focused on creating memorable brand and customer experiences in long dwell time environments, Australia wide. With one of the largest place-based networks, Motio’s high-definition digital marketing environments are poised to capture the attention of its audiences, effectively and efficiently. Over the course of the Period, the Motio team has continued to diversify its business and despite the challenging conditions in the media sector, significant progress has been achieved. Motio’s mission continues to be the creation and development of a growth led business of significance beyond the conclusion of the cross-track contracts. This remains central to our business activity.

Motio launched its media sales business, Motio Media in July 2020. The Motio Media networks comprise digital screens within:

  • Motio Go , 500+ Ampol in Store locations;

  • Motio Health, 1000+ Medical Centres and;

  • Motio Play , Indoor Sporting Environments and where people play for fun.

During the half-year ended 31 December 2020, Motio generated total revenues from continuing operations of $1,959,224 up 23% on the prior corresponding period (PCP) (1HFY20: $1,590,000). The revenue uplift over the period was driven by a combination of new media sales across Motio’s newly acquired asset group, software sales, supply, payments and its cross-track business. The loss from operations of the consolidated entity for the half year ended 31 December 2020 after providing for income tax was $28,542 (PCP profit of $214,375). Additional information on the operations and financial position of the Group and its business strategies and prospects is set out in this directors’ report and the interim financial report. Motio’s cash balance as at 31 December 2020 was $4,003,407.

On 19 August 2020 the Company announced a capital raise of approximately $2.3 million (before costs) by way of a two-tranche placement to raise approximately $1 million ( Placement ) together with a fully underwritten nonrenounceable entitlement offer to raise approximately $1.22 million.

The fully underwritten non-renounceable entitlement offered existing shareholders the ability to subscribe for 1 (one) fully paid ordinary share ( New Share ) for every 5 (five) existing shares held at $0.039 per share, together with 1 (one) attaching New Option for every 2 (two) New Shares subscribed for, to shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand held as at 7.00pm (AEST) on 28 August 2020 ( Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer closed on 25 September 2020 having been well supported by eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand.

Funds raised from the Entitlement Offer will be used to take advantage of opportunities emerging from the COVID19 pandemic, to expand the Company’s product offerings including the doubling of screens within the Motio Health channel, accelerating the growth of Motio Media’s sales team and accelerating marketing initiatives.

Half Year Financial Report For the half year ended 31 December 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT

This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.

This 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 2020 and any public announcements made by Motio Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. For the purposes of preparing the half-year financial statements, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the policies stated below.

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

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.

Comparative figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Restatement of comparatives

A revenue clawback from cross-track leasing income has been recognised in the comparative two years. This reclassification has resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $117,896 (2019: $55,871) and a corresponding increase in trade and other payables.

Impairment expense in relation to property, plant and equipment was previously overclaimed and an adjustment has been recognised in the comparative two years. This reclassification has resulted in an increase in gross profit of $37,501 (2019: $58,212) and a corresponding increase in property, plant and equipment.

The company was able to finalise its assessment of the excess consideration of $654,353 obtained upon the acquisition of Adline Media Pty Ltd in January 2020 which was provisionally recognised as Goodwill as at 30 June 2020. This balance is related to future revenue in various software licence contracts provided to the various sport centres of varying contract periods. This reclassification within the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020 has a resulted in a decrease in Goodwill and corresponding increase in Intangibles of $654,353.

Management reviewed the group’s operations and deemed that effective from 1 July 2020, the group operations have been consolidated into a single business segment. The comparative figures have been restated and consolidated into a single business segment.

Prior year

In the prior year, the group was organised into two operating segments: cross-track digital system installation and maintenance (XTD), and media sales (Media Advertising). These operating segments were based on the internal reports that were reviewed and used by the Board of Directors of each entity (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Group engages in one business in Australia, activity from which it earns revenues, and its results were analyzed as a whole by the CODM. Consequently revenue, profit and net assets for the operating segment and geographical segment are reflected in this annual report.

The information reported to the CODM is on at least a monthly basis.

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans

Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.

9. DIVIDENDS

No dividends have been declared or paid since the start of the financial period and none are recommended.

10. GUARANTEES, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

There are no new commitments that the Company has entered into during the period under review, other than those that existed as at 30 June 2020.

Further consideration was expected to be deferred from the acquisition of Motio Play Pty Ltd on 6 January 2020 as follows for the year ended 30 June 2021:

5,000,000 shares (Tranche A Deferred Consideration Shares) and $400,000 cash is to be deferred consideration if the EBITDA is greater than $350,000. If the EBITDA is less than $350,000, but greater than $245,000, the $400,000 cash payment and number of shares are both reduced by 1.5% for every 1% EBITDA is less than $350,000. If EBITDA is less than $245,000, then no consideration should be deferred.

Based on the current and forecasted performance of Motio Play Pty Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2021, management assessed that the probability of achieving this milestone was $nil. Hence, no deferred consideration is expected to be recognised with respect to this business combination and has been disclosed as a contingent liability.

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 the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls 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 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 halfyear 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 2020 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporation 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.
