Interim Report - 31 December 2011
TZ Limited Directors' report 31 December 2011
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of TZ Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled for the half-year ended 31 December 2011.
Directors
The following persons were directors of TZ Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Mark Bouris - Chairman Kenneth Ting Dickory Rudduck
Principal activities
During the financial half-year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of:
-
the development of intelligent devices and smart device systems that enable the commercialisation of hardware and software solutions for the management, control and monitoring of business assets and the provision of associated value added services through Telezygology Inc, ('TZI'); and
-
providing a fee for service product design and engineering consulting (services) through Product Development Technologies Inc, ('PDT').
All of the operations of the consolidated entity are based in Australia, the United States of America, United Kingdom and Ukraine.
Review of operations
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $12,419,000 (31 December 2010: $3,448,000).
TZ Limited (‘TZL’) recorded a half year revenue of AUD $9.5 million at 31 December 2011 achieving a similar top line revenue to the corresponding period from last year. Overall, the consolidated entity recorded an accounting loss of AUD $12.4 million which includes the negative impact of AUD $3.2 million for derivative liability in relation to the QVT convertible notes and AUD $2.4 million in finance costs. This represents a 260% increase in losses from last year’s result.
Profitability was also impacted by the previously announced restructuring at Product Development Technologies, Inc. (‘PDT’). During the half year, PDT invested in several initiatives to refocus its business to pursue multi-million dollar contracts and to position itself to engage strategically on large scale and complex multi-disciplinary projects. This investment will underpin on-going revenue growth and profitability at PDT and to position the business to better target new business opportunities in identified growth segments. The investment has already yielded positive results in December with an uplift in revenues, strong pipeline growth, improved branch office profitability and overall margin improvement. This has also continued through the start of the New Year with PDT winning several projects in the identified growth segments.
Telezygology, Inc. (‘TZI’) delivered strong growth over and above last year’s half year results with a top line revenue of USD $820,000 at its targeted margins starting from a low base. Although a number of purchase orders were secured during the half year, deliveries have been pushed out due to delays in customers’ implementation programs and have not been recognized in the results.
TELEZYGOLOGY, INC.
TZI started the fiscal year well securing sales to NextDC, Coles and the Australia Post Trial. These projects underpinned a strong first quarter result with over USD $1 million in purchase orders received. Despite this backlog, deliveries scheduled in the half year period were delayed due to a number of customers’ implementation programs running behind schedule. This also pushed out progressive orders that were originally anticipated within the half year period.

TZ Limited Directors' report 31 December 2011
As a result, TZI was only able to recognise USD $820,000 in revenue during the half year, up 219% for the same period last year, and recorded an overall EBITDA loss of USD $3.8 million. Gross contribution margins remain very encouraging as a percentage of revenue and are in line with target expectations. Backlog and purchase order commitments remain strong with around USD $700,000 in the pipeline which should be recognised as revenue in the March quarter. Addressable opportunities also remain strong with a number of paid trials underway with major corporates and several major contracts under negotiation or in the tender assessment phase. If TZI is successful in its efforts, the scale of the projects that could potentially eventuate from these trials, on-going supply contracts and tenders, will transform the business and ensure sustainable profitability into fiscal 2013.
One of the major focuses for the business this last six months has been the deployment of intelligent parcel lockers as part of the Australia Post parcel ready trial. These deployments support a major initiative by Australia Post and demonstrate their commitment to invest in its parcel delivery business to keep up with the strong upsurge in parcel transactions due to the growth of on-line shopping.
As part of this new initiative Australia Post is launching its “post office of the future” which offers customers greater access, convenience and choice in the way they transact with Australia Post. The Brisbane GPO is an example of this and offers a 24/7 self-service zone where parcel lockers are located allowing customers to pick up their parcels at any time.
The success of the Brisbane GPO has led to an announcement by Australia Post that they will have around 30 of these ‘super stores’ planted across Australia by June this year, and eventually 300 nationwide. TZI management remains positive that the business is well positioned to support Australia Post with their requirements for parcel lockers.
The Australia Post Trial has also been the catalyst for TZI and Pitney Bowes to develop an end-to-end, fully integrated parcel locker and management solution. This is an exciting offering that supports an easy to implement B2C last mile delivery alternative. Since the start of the New Year, the parties have been actively promoting this solution to several major logistics and retail organisations in the US and Europe and as a result, are currently engaged in a number of prospective opportunities that could be significant for the business.
Coles refrigerated locker trials represent another customised B2C locker solution due for deployment at a number of trial locations, with roll-out commencing in mid-March across Queensland, NSW and Victoria. This expanded trial will assess whether the success of the initial Windsor site deployment in Victoria can be replicated on a broader scale and provide the commercial validation for a national roll-out.
Overall our PAD business continues to develop strongly across all sectors, including corporate, residential and most recently B2C offerings. A few achievements worth mentioning include the following:
• On-going scheduled deployments through the balance of this calendar year with early adopter corporate customers, who have established TZ intelligent lockers as an integral part of their agile workforce strategy and a specified utility for their facilities.
• Trials underway with a number of very large corporates in the financial services sector which could lead to future multi-unit, multi-location deployments.
• Focused promotion of the TZ Concierge residential offering leading to secured purchase order for a second residential complex. In addition, strategic discussions are currently underway with potential distribution partners to support a far more aggressive and accelerated roll-out.
• Establishment of a Letter of Intent with a leading global shopping centre management group to develop the potential for intelligent locker deployments at their shopping centres.
• Development of OurPAD, the intelligent mailbox concept which addresses the issue of missed home deliveries and facilitates the secure delivery of parcels at your home at any time of the day.
• Expansion of the Pitney Bowes relationship into new geographies as well as cross divisional opportunities providing for higher levels of business integration.

TZ Limited Directors' report 31 December 2011
For IXP, the most noticeable development has been the establishment of the NextDC supply contract in Australia. This currently represents the largest committed deployment for our TZ Centurion System and a solid reference customer for endorsement and validation of our technology. Focus during the half year has been on the initial hardware and software deployments into NextDC’s Brisbane and Melbourne data centres and the integration with NextDC’s management software. With this now fully operational, we expect to see further orders as Brisbane and Melbourne continue their build-outs and new sites such as Canberra, Sydney and Perth progress.
The adoption of our technology by companies like NextDC in Australia and IBM and others in the US, clearly establishes TZ’s offerings as a market leading cabinet level security system – a position that the business can now heavily leverage to accelerate adoption. With the anticipated big data growth over the next 5 to 10 years, we are seeing enormous investment into data centers (in consolidation, new build-outs and location upgrades). When you couple this growth with the new compliance and regulatory requirements that are driving a ‘Standard of Care’ liability for Boards of Directors, CEOs and CFOs for the physical protection of data, TZ IXP products are very well positioned for market penetration.
In North America, the IXP business continues to see increased system specification and positive sales progression from the trial and pilot phases to broader deployments. While TZI is constrained by the speed at which our customers’ roll-out the solution, the business is broadening its channels to markets to increase adoption rates through the establishment of a nation-wide Certified Integrator program and new distribution relationships with OEM partners and other prospective system resellers.
Moving into the New Year, TZI has reprioritized its markets, restructured its sales force and brought a much greater level of discipline and focus to implementation. Integral to this, is the appointment of Keith Schwartz and Bharath Ram to manage business growth in Asia, North America and Europe. This has already shown positive results and should continue to provide the company with more effective on-the-ground strategic business building experience. Both executives have over 20 years of sales and business management experience in relevant industries and bring with them the necessary competencies to drive new business growth.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ('PDT')
Revenue in the half year period was USD $8.9 million impacted by restructuring and the focus on larger scale and more complex multi-disciplinary projects which have a longer sales cycle.
With the extraordinary revenue growth of the previous years, costs associated with trying to handle the growth including integrating new staff in large dimensions and managing culture and quality issues have also impacted profitability, leading to an overall reduction in business returns.
During the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Board and PDT management implemented a number of strategic initiatives to drive better efficiencies in resources, infrastructure and processes.
The initiatives implemented include the following:
-
A reduction in non-essential manpower, relocation of offices and a cut in overhead and administration costs resulting in an annual expense reduction of USD $900K as of October 2011.
-
Re-organizing the business to ensure alignment around the three target verticals of Medical, Military and Consumer Electronics and building the core competencies necessary to support the demands of the large scale engagement projects in the highly regulated Medical and Military sectors.
-
Building specific knowledge and expertise in identified growth areas such as the Android platform and the “appcessory” market. The Android platform has been recognized as being the dominant platform for handheld wireless technology, recently validated by the US military who declared Android as its preferred O/S. Appcessories are application specific accessories that use a smart device like a tablet or smart phone to enhance function.

TZ Limited Directors' report 31 December 2011
For the half year, PDT recorded an EBITDA loss of around USD $600,000. However, the initiatives undertaken have already yielded positive results in December with an uplift in revenues, strong pipeline growth, improved branch office profitability and overall margin improvement. This has also continued through the start of the New Year.
The backlog of secured projects is solid and there is a strong pipeline of large scale opportunities developing on the horizon. Recent successful contracts include the development of hand held devices for a number of prime military contractors, a new range of revolutionary medical devices and a consumer product in the fast food business which has global application.
While concerns with the business climate, particularly with the 2012 US presidential elections looming, the prospect of budget cuts and increased taxes and the on-going economic concerns in Europe, the Directors believe that PDT is returning not only to improved business profitability on revenues consistent with last year, but is continuing to reinforce its positioning as one of the leading full service design firms in the USA.
OUTLOOK
With improved bottom line performance anticipated for PDT, the Board and management anticipates to see overall positive results from PDT for the balance of the year and for the PDT business to return to overall profitability by fiscal year end.
The TZI business continues to grow steadily delivering consistently with its business model, achieving targeted sales margins and receiving annuity income through its software and device access licensing and maintenance contracts. More importantly, this business is primed for growth with a number of large opportunities coming to fruition in the near term particularly in the on-line retail logistics space. These opportunities have the potential to transform the business and ensure sustainable profitability into fiscal 2013.
The Board and management remain confident in the Company’s prospects and look forward to an exciting six months to year end.

TZ Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2011
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed in the relevant accounting policy. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2010-4 amendments from 1 July 2011. The amendments made numerous non-urgent but necessary amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. The amendments provided clarification of disclosures in AASB 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', in particular emphasis of the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments; clarified that an entity can present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes in accordance with AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Instruments'; and provided guidance on the disclosure of significant events and transactions in AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (December 2009)
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 124 (revised) from 1 July 2011. The revised standard simplified the definition of a related party by clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition. A subsidiary and an associate with the same investor are related parties of each other; entities significantly influenced by one person and entities significantly influenced by a close member of the family of that person are no longer related parties of each other; and whenever a person or entity has both joint control over a second entity and joint control or significant influence over a third party, the second and third entities are related to each other. The adoption of this revised standard from 1 July 2011 has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Convertible notes with a face value of $12,000,000 are due to mature on 18 February 2013. Unless those notes are converted to shares by the holder prior to maturity the principal and interest outstanding on maturity will be payable in cash by TZ Limited. The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the generation of sufficient profits and positive cash flows, the conversion of the notes to shares or the raising of additional share capital. TZ Limited has previously raised capital when required. The directors expect the company will be successful in raising additional capital in future, if required.

TZ Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2011
Note 2. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into two operating segments. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management committee (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.
The CODM comprises the executive directors, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and divisional managers. The CODM reviews both adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (segment result) and profit before income tax.
The information reported to the CODM is on at least a monthly basis.
Types of products and services
The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows:
PDT Holdings Inc ('PDT') PDT Group operates its engineering and design division predominantly in the USA, whilst maintaining a presence in the UK and the Ukraine. Telezygology Inc ('TZI') TZI’s primary role is the development and commercialisation of hardware and software products primarily in the US and Australia markets.
Intersegment transactions
Intersegment transactions were made at market rates. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
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.
Major customers
During the half year ended 31 December 2011 approximately 48.01% (2010: 37.10%) of the consolidated entity's external revenue was derived from sales to one customer of PDT.

TZL Loan Facility with QVT Fund LP and Quintessence Fund L.P. ('QVT Funds')
On 31 January 2012, TZ Limited ('TZL') and Telezygology, Inc. ('TZI') entered into a loan agreement with QVT Funds under which QVT Funds provided a stand-by loan facility in an amount of USD$3.0 million to TZI. TZL has provided an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee in respect of any amounts due and payable by TZI under the stand-by loan facility. As at 23 February 2012, no funds have been drawn down under the facility and the facility remains subject to a number of pre-drawdown conditions.
TZL Capital Raising
On 15 and 16 February 2012 TZL undertook a capital raising by private placement ('Placement') to institutions and other exempt investors who qualify under sections 708(8), (10) and (11) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Placement successfully raised $4,552,089 by the issue of 14,225,279 ordinary shares at $0.32 per share. The Placement was completed on 23 February 2012. The funds raised are to be used for working capital to position the company for anticipated supply contracts and new business.
The conversion prices applying to each of the Series I Convertible Notes, Series III Convertible Notes, Series IIIB Convertible Notes, and to any Series IV Convertible Notes to be issued will not be affected by the Placement.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2011 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.
