Spectur Limited – Interim Financial Report – Half Year ended 31 December 2020 Page 2 of 20

Director's Report

The Board of Directors of Spectur Limited present their report on Spectur Limited ("Company" or "Spectur") for the half year ended 31 December 2020.

Directors and Officers

The names of directors and officers who held office during or since the end of the half year and until the date of this report are as follows.

Darren John Cooper Non-Executive Chairman
Gerard John Dyson Managing Director
Bilyana Smith Non-Executive Director
Suzie Jayne Foreman Company Secretary

Principal Activities

The principal activity of the Company during the half year was to develop, manufacture and sell Remote Solar 3G/4G based deterrence, surveillance and warning systems, and associated products and services. The Company is also expanding its pipeline of solutions and platforms, leveraging its unique technology to non-security related markets.

Operating and Financial Review

Results of Operations

For H1 FY21 (six months to December 2020) Spectur reported revenue of $2,037k, down 22% on H1 FY20 (six months to December 2019) of $2,619k. The bulk of the impact in revenues resulted from a halving of new sales and rental contracts in Victoria compared to H1 FY20, attributed to the strict COVID lockdowns state-wide. Indications are the market has begun to return to growth with positive recovery from the impacts of COVID restrictions expected into H2 FY21.

Rental Fleet Growing Rapidly Again

Spectur's rental fleet, after reducing to a low point in July 2020, has rebounded almost completely to pre-COVID levels, with a total fleet size of 330 systems deployed as at the half year end.

In addition to a net growth of rentals of 48 systems over the period, the average rental value has started to increase with the introduction of the higher value STA6 model to the rental fleet. Equipment rental revenue for H1 FY21 totalled $687k. During the period, Spectur secured an increasing number of larger value rental contracts, along with anticipated longerterm contracts (those that have an initial short duration, with an expectation of extensions).

Recognising the increasing interest in longer term contracts with reduced capital expenditure relative to operational expenditure, in January 2021 Spectur also launched a Hardware as a Service (HaaS), or longer term leasing and lease-tobuy model. These additional commercial models are expected to allow Spectur to serve additional customers and underpin growth in longer term recurring revenue. Equipment rental revenues based upon January 2021 installations are currently run rating at $1.8 million annualised.

Spectur Limited – Interim Financial Report – Half Year ended 31 December 2020 Page 3 of 20

Director's Report

Recurring revenues from data plan, server access and monitoring services were $597k for H1 FY21. As sales and rentals build, the underlying Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue to support these also increases. December SaaS income was $100k, run rating at $1.2 million per annum. The Annualised Recuring Revenue (ARR) for rentals and SaaS income was $2.6 million when annualised for revenues received over H1 FY21, and is currently run rating at $3 million based upon January 2021 results.

Additional COVID-19 governmental assistance totalling $269k was also recognised during the reporting period, received as JobKeeper, cashflow boost and payroll tax rebates.

H2 FY21 Starting in Record Fashion

Following the strong finish to the calendar year, H2 FY21 has had a record start with the best January (a historically slow month) in corporate history, with revenues of $406k. Whilst numbers for February are incomplete, contract sales to date are in excess of $555k. Note that contract sales do not immediately translate to revenues as some revenue is spread over the contract periods.

Capital Raising Secured $1.5M

Spectur closed its Share Purchase Plan (SPP) on 7 August 2020, taking oversubscriptions to successfully raise $945k. The Company saw a strong shareholder response to the SPP, with applications exceeding both the initially targeted and oversubscription amount. The successful SPP followed Spectur's completion of a Placement to sophisticated and professional investors of $567k, raising a combined total of $1.5m before costs.

Net proceeds of the Placement and SPP provided important funding in the period to accelerate adoption of the Company's new technology platform, drive sales through expanding channel partnerships and review potential M&A opportunities.

Looking forward to H2 FY21, the Company expects ongoing cash consumption for the medium term in response to the higher actual growth rates in the rental business line and anticipated growth in the HaaS model. This growth strategy benefits the Company in that rentals are delivered with higher gross margin percentage and longer term leasing, provides more sustainable cash flows. Spectur is examining alternatives for potentially financing this shift in product mix over the longerterm as contracts are secured.

Technology advances

H1 FY21 saw the launching of the new STA6 platform, creating a second material product platform for Spectur. The STA6 platform provides multi-camera and edge-based processing capabilities, including artificial intelligence (AI). This platform is currently operating a CSIRO-developed edge and cloud combination AI engine, which allows industry leading detection, without excessive false alarms. This platform continues to have additional features added, including 10FPS 4K video streaming and, soon to be released, two-way live audio.

During H1 FY21 a combination of high demand and production challenges meant that delivery times were extended for the STA6, however these have largely been resolved with production and sourcing improvements are in place.

It should also be noted that the shark warning systems also provided by Spectur have had additional development with Voice over IP Telephony (VOIP) features and other features being incorporated and expected to be available to the market in H2 FY21.

Sales and Marketing Growth

The Spectur sales team recruiting was completed in H1 FY21, along with a new website and onboarding of a new digital marketing partner. This stabilisation and the development of increasingly sophisticated sales and marketing systems and processes has led to steadily increasing contract sales, particularly in the longer term rental market. Average contract sizes are increasing, with nearly $800,000 of contracts won this financial year from target client groups, with an order size greater than $100,000.

Longer term investments in developing marquee customers in the government, security, utility and construction space are coming to fruition as the outbound sales and account management strategies are being realised. Trials and tests with key customers in areas such as telecommunications and construction have concluded, and the Company is beginning to commence large anticipated programs of acquisition or longer term leasing.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 25 November 2020 Spectur Ltd acquired 51% of the issued share capital of Spectur New Zealand Pty Ltd from channel partner Deus Ex Limited (Deus Ex).

The acquisition of 51 ordinary shares from Deus Ex were for a nominal purchase price of NZ$51 (i.e. NZ$1.00 per share). Simultaneously, both Spectur Deus Ex subscribed for Shares at a 51%:49% ratio to provide a combined further minor additional injection of NZ$20,000 in working capital for operations.

Director's Report

Spectur NZ's operations plan is to leverage the existing facilities, sales, operations and other technical and managerial support of Deus Ex on an "as used" basis for the time being to ensure efficiency until such time as more unique resources are required. Spectur will continue to provide support with technical, marketing and other expertise as required.

The acquisition of Spectur New Zealand was completed prior to the half year, and treated as a Joint venture in the financial report of Spectur Limited.

Dividends

No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial period. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.

Spectur Limited – Interim Financial Report – Half Year ended 31 December 2020 Page 10 of 20

Note 1: Basis of Preparation

These condensed interim financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards including AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements comprise the condensed interim financial statements for the Company. For the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The interim financial statements do not include full disclosures of the type normally included in the full financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Company as the full financial report. It is recommended these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the full financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Spectur Limited during the half year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half year, except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations described in (b) below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets, goods and services.

The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

For the purpose of preparing the interim financial statements, the half year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

(a) Statement of Compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 25 February 2021.

The interim financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the interim financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(b) Adoption of New and Revised Standards

New Standards and Interpretations applicable for the half year ended 31 December 2020

For the period ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current reporting period. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company, and therefore no change is necessary to accounting policies.

New Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the period ended 31 December 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and, therefore, no change is necessary to accounting policies.

(c) Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlements of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Note 1: Basis of Preparation

(d) Investment in associates and joint ventures

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Company.

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Company and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment.

Other Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

Note 1: Segment Reporting

The Company's operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to make decisions regarding the Company's operations and allocation of working capital. Due to the size and nature of the Company, the CEO has been determined as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

Based on the quantitative thresholds included in AASB 8, there is only one reportable segment, being development, manufacture and selling of Remote Solar 3G/4G based deterrence, surveillance and warning systems, and associated products and services.

The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Company as a whole and are set out in the Condensed Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and the assets and liabilities of the Company as a whole are set out in the Condensed Statement of Financial Position.

Note 2: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of revenue

AASB 134 requires an entity to disclose a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers required by paragraphs 114-115 of AASB 15. The Company has selected to disaggregate revenue according to the timing of the transfer of goods and/or services. As the Company elected the modified retrospective method of adoption, comparative information under AASB 15 is not required as disclosures for the comparative period in the notes follow the requirements of AASB 111, AASB 118 and other related interpretations.

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of goods and the provision of services at a point in time and over time in the following major categories.

The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Other Intangibles

Other Intangibles acquired are initially measured at cost.

Following initial recognition, Other Intangibles are measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment losses.

Other Intangibles are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (Company of cash-generating units), to which the Other Intangibles relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (Company of cashgenerating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When Other Intangibles forms part of a cash-generating unit (Company of cash-generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the Other Intangibles associated with the operation disposed of are included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Other Intangibles disposed of in this manner are measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Impairment losses recognised for Other Intangibles are not subsequently reversed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Spectur Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Spectur Limited ("the company"), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed statement of changes in equity and the condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies 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 interim financial report of Spectur Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 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 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.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the interim 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 interim 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 interim 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 interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the company'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 Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a interim 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.
