significant and growing pipeline of new customers and contracts.
Despite some frustration with the speed of conversion, included in
our pipeline are four specific pending contracts worth £4.5m of
which I am optimistic that at least £1.85m will close and be
shipped during the current year."

Chairman statement
The Board is pleased with the
progress made by the Company during H1. Due to the timing of
conclusion of certain projects, revenue for H1 2024 was £0.66m
which underpins the expected second half increase in conversion of
pending sales opportunities. In particular, we are actively working
to conclude four potential contracts with new customers with an
aggregate value of up to £4.5m. These are expected to progress
following completion of ongoing trials during H2 and as such the
Board remains cautiously optimistic about achieving full year
market expectations despite the slower H1.
The high level of standardisation of
our product offer across different market segments (application
& geographic) has enabled us to grow our capacities
(production, deployment support and sales) more efficiently than
anticipated which is reflected in our lower than expected overheads
and thus a loss of £0.53m for the period despite the lower revenues
during the Period.
In anticipation of the forthcoming
closure and delivery of some of our sales pipeline we have
increased our stock of product during H1, with a specific focus on
being able to achieve customer supply time expectations. Cash
balances remains healthy at £3.62m as at 30 June
2024.
Operational
During the Period, we have completed
our investment to increase production capacity which has expanded
our ability to support an annual revenue run rate of £12m; a
further doubling of this capacity is achievable within four months
with additional investment of only £50k which we expect to execute
during 2025 to support anticipated demand. This increase in
production capacity was achieved alongside our investments in
product support that has included simplified sensor configuration
and improved documentation which enables more efficient and quicker
installations by customers.
Sales
We are engaged with a substantial
and growing number of customers across multiple application and
geographic segments. From Biogas genset operators in Germany, to
ports in the USA, mines in Chile, engine manufacturers in Europe
and one of the world's largest global retail and distribution
business. All have common objectives: to reduce their oil use;
maintenance costs; and improve reliability and the regard our
sensor as a reliable and effective route to achieve these
ambitions.
We have good visibility on contract
orders worth approximately £25m, of which two, valued at £1.85m (in
aggregate) are expected to convert into sales during the current
year following the successful completion of trials. These specific
opportunities are mostly in the Middle East and focused on power
generation and other engine-based applications. In addition to
these defined contract opportunities we also have a growing raft of
strategic ones. These include applications such as large Port
Cranes, where we have recently kicked off a trial with The Georgia
Ports Authority in USA where they have 90 cranes, each of which
would require 6 sensors. Separately, we have recently started a
trial with one of the world's largest retail distribution
businesses to help them enhance reliability and maintenance
planning of automated conveyor systems in their logistics centres.
We have no shortage of opportunities and are systematically
engaging with customers to learn about their specific needs and
develop implementation plans, this all bodes extremely well for the
future.
Outlook
The Board is pleased with progress
made to develop the business and is looking forward to seeing this
groundwork reflected in the forecasted sales in H2 and beyond. We
see a growing array of opportunities across real time oil
analysis-based equipment monitoring and management which is where
our core technology delivers valuable data and insight. The Company
has built a substantial pipeline of opportunities, which is
continuing to grow, and includes a mix of substantial near term
contract opportunities and longer-term strategic ones which could
be of exceptional value. Of course, the immediate focus of the
management team are the £1.85m of pending contracts which we hope
to close and ship in the current financial year. As such the
outlook for the future of the Company remains very
positive.

The calculation of basic earnings
per share is based on the results attributable to ordinary
shareholders divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding
as if the bonus issue and share split had occurred at the beginning
of the earliest period presented. The earnings per share
calculations for the period and prior period presented are based on
the new number of shares.
The number of shares in issue at the
end of the period is used as the denominator in calculating basic
earnings per share. As the Company is loss making the effect
of instruments that convert into ordinary shares is considered
anti-dilutive, hence there is no difference between the diluted and
non-diluted loss per share.
During the period ended 30 June
2023, the Company completed a 110 for 1 bonus share issue and a
subdivision of shares. Prior to the bonus issue there were 451,800
shares at £0.001, after the bonus issue there are 50,149,800 shares
at £0.001. On Admission to AIM on 18 August 2023, the Company
issued 23,074,000 new ordinary shares, taking the
number of ordinary shares in issue to 73,223,800.

shareholders holding 451,800 shares at that date. The bonus
issue offered 110 ordinary shares for every 1 ordinary share in
issue, with a nominal value of £0.001 per share. This
increased the number of ordinary shares in issue by 49,698,000 to
50,149,800.
On Admission to AIM on 18 August
