"In the nine weeks since I last wrote to you, I am pleased to announce further
progress in sales with good order growth compared to last year. The drivers to
spending on cyber security are ever increasing, and we look forward to growth
in this year and next year.  Our focus is to get to sustainable profitability
within our existing resources and we are planning on achieving this by both
recurring revenue growth and cost management.  I am delighted to have
welcomed William Kilmer to the Group who joined us as a NED in October and his
wealth of experience in cyber security is already making an impact."

About Falanx

Falanx Group Limited is a cyber security services provider, offering
enterprise-class offensive and defensive security solutions to Small and
Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). For further information
visit: www.falanxcyber.com (http://www.falanxcyber.com)

 

Our strapline is Attack. Defend. Protect.

 

Attack

These are our Offensive Services and are primarily centred around Penetration
Testing / ethical hacking ("PT"). Our comprehensive portfolio of PT services
covers a wide range of skills and techniques which we use to emulate potential
attackers looking for vulnerabilities in our client's infrastructure.

 

Defend

Our Defensive (managed) services are provided by our Security Operations
Centre ("SOC") based in Reading. The SOC operates a 24/7/365 service,
continually watching our customers' IT estates, looking for unusual activity
which may be a sign of a cyber-attack or data theft.

 

Protect

Through both our Offensive and Defensive services, we help our customers to
protect themselves against cyber-attacks.

 

 

Business Review

 

In the Period to September 2022, orders for our core services were £1.89m
(2021: £1.62m), representing growth of 17%.  The majority of this growth
came from increased sales of our defensive services, all of which generate
Monthly Recurring Revenues ("MRR").  As outlined previously, the growth of
our MRR revenues is key to our strategy. Total orders for these MRR services
grew by over 100% in the Period.

 

During the Period, we exited a legacy consulting contract (which had the
potential to become onerous) at an agreed break point  and the growth in MRR
sales has more than offset this revenue reduction with higher quality revenues
and better long-term margins.   Overall, across our core services, we have
transacted with a greater number of customers than in the previous year.

 

Our target market is primarily SMEs and we focus our MRR service offerings on
organisations which employ between 50 and 1,000 staff. Cyber security threats
are ever growing, and against an increasingly difficult social and economic
backdrop, criminal activity is increasing. Cyber security insurance providers
are now significantly increasing premiums as well as applying increased
conditionality, which can include mandating use of cyber security services, as
a condition of cover. The need to protect a business' assets against
cyber-attacks is even more imperative now than ever before.

 

Consequently, we have evolved our service offerings to best address our target
market and protect those SMEs from cyber-attack, whatever their insured status
may be.  To best address this, we have progressively introduced additional
defensive MRR services with lower entry price points in addition to our
existing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Managed-Endpoint Detection
and Response (M-EDR) services (both of which support multiple leading
enterprise-grade security vendor solutions). Retained Incident Response
("R-IR") and Continuous Vulnerability Scanning ("CVS") were introduced in the
summer of 2022, and we are seeing that customers are increasingly
understanding the need for both services - a rapid response service in the
case of a breach (R-IR) and continually scanning networks with CVS throughout
the year as well as the Pen Tests run annually.  Consequently, we have a
growing pipeline of opportunities in these service lines since their launch
and this has already translated into sales to six customers - most of which
are existing Pen Test customers.   As customers mature and evolve, full MDR
will become more relevant to their organisation.

 

In addition, we have expanded our network of channel partners in the last few
months. Some of these are starting to generate significant interest which has
already translated into sales.  We are focusing on a limited number of Tier 1
channel partners where we invest time and resources and are selecting them
based on their experience, reputation, and their addressable market.

 

Post Period Update

 

Following on from the increase in MRR orders in the six months to 30 September
2022, combined with our rapidly growing pipeline of MRR opportunities, we have
restructured our sales team to maximise our ability to achieve our MRR sales
targets in the coming months.  The sales team is now a single organisation
split into two focused sales groups - PenTest (Attack) and MRR (Defend). They
target new customers as well as cross selling into our base which is now has
over 400 clients. This allows increased dedicated and experienced resources to
focus on the more complex (and arguably more valuable) sales of MRR services,
whilst allowing the penetration testing services team to focus on their own
strong pipeline of business which typically has a shorter lead time.  Early
results are promising, with aggregate orders for core services across October
and November 2022 growing by 44% compared to the same period in 2021.

 

Outside of our pipeline, we have several large-scale opportunities advancing
with major global technology providers (both new and existing relationships)
to partner as part of their Cyber go-to-market plans. As ever these
opportunities could be transformational for Falanx, and we look forward to
updating on these as they progress.

 

Financial Performance

 

Total revenues were £1.8m (2021: £1.8m). Within this, monthly recurring
revenues from monitoring services increased by 29% to £0.49m (2021: £0.38m)
offsetting a small reduction in professional services, the majority of which
came from our exit from a non-core legacy contract referenced previously.

 

Gross margin decreased to 36% (2021: 40%) due to expansion costs and some
price increases. Rectification actions were carried out, and in recent months
gross margins have recovered back to ahead of FY22 levels. The Group expects
to be able to manage these cost factors to protect gross margins going
forward.  Underlying operating costs were £1.76m (2021: £1.10m) with the
increase arising from investment in sales and marketing expansion.
Consequently, the adjusted EBITDA loss was £1.1m (2021: £0.39m).

 

Depreciation and amortisation charges were £0.22m (2021: £0.25m), with the
vast majority being the routine amortisation (straight line basis over a 10
year period) of the customer base acquired in March 2018, as well as property
lease costs related to IFRS16.

 

Interest payable was £0.17m (2021: £0.04m) and was mainly comprised of
interest (including amortised costs) on the Boost loan of £2.5m drawn down in
October 2021 as the IFRS 16 element lease payments for the Reading office.

The loss from continuing operations was to £1.48m (2021: £0.71m). The loss
per share (both on a basic and fully diluted basis) from continuing operations
was 0.28p (2021: 0.13p).

Consolidated Statements of Financial Position & Cash Flow

Intangible assets were £3.1m (2021: £3.5m) and principally comprised of the
acquired customers base and associated goodwill. The £0.13m goodwill arising
from the acquisition of Securestorm Limited was fully impaired in the year
ended 31 March 2022.

 

Trade and other debtors stood at £1.21m (2021: £0.93m) with the increase
being due to the final £0.345m of the cash consideration from the disposal of
Assynt in October 2021 (which was held in escrow for 12 months) until it was
paid in early October 2022. Cash receipts were strong, with no incidence of
bad debt being recorded, and debtor days stood at 40 (2021: 42). Trade and
other payables reduced to £0.62m (2021: £1.29m) due to the repayment of HMRC
COVID-19 backlog which took place in H2 FY22.  Deferred incomes increased to
£0.53m (2021: £0.39m) due to greater business volumes and overall, the Group
had a normal working capital profile at 30 September 2022.

Net cash outflow from operations was £1.30m (2021: £0.88m) and included the
final £0.07m payment of the HMRC COVID-19 backlog. Cash balances as at 30
September 2022 were £1.96m (2021: £0.51m) and overall shareholders' funds
were £2.87m (2021: £2.0m).

Events after the reporting Period

 

On 7 October 2022 the final £0.35 million of the Assynt disposal cash
consideration held escrow account against was released to the Group.

the information required for full financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and
for the year ended 31 March 2022. These interim financial statements do not
constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act.

 

The interim financial information has not been reviewed nor audited by the
auditors. The interim financial information was approved by the Board of
Directors on 7 December 2022. The information for the year ended 31 March 2022
is extracted from the statutory financial statements for that year which have
been reported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of
Companies. The audit report was unqualified.

 

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim financial
statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated
financial statements for the year ended and as at 31 March 2022. The interim
report is the responsibility of, and has been, approved by the Directors. The
Directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial statements in
accordance with the AIM rules for Companies.

 

Going Concern

 

These interim results have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
notwithstanding the loss incurred for the six-month period to 30 September
2022.

 

The Group made an adjusted EBITDA loss (which most closely correlates its cash
performance over time) from continuing operations in six months to 30
September 2022 of £1.1 m (2021: £0.4m).  This was due to the planned
significant investment in sales and marketing expansion which has consequently
built a strong pipeline of prospective business, and which is now beginning to
convert into contract wins of monitoring contracts with their predictable
recurring revenue and cash profiles. This provides the board with further
confidence in its projections.

 

Cash balances on 30 September stood at £1.95m (2021: £0.51m) and these are
estimated by the Board as sufficient to achieve break even and cash generation
on its organic plans.  The Group received the final £0.345m of cash
consideration in early October 2022, which has been held in escrow since the
disposal of Assynt in October 2021.  The Group has a normal working capital
position and furthermore HMRC are fully in terms and are being paid on the
usual periodic basis.

 

£1.5m of the cash balance is reserved for use on acquisitions and
investments, but under the loan agreement, this can be used for
other reasonable business purposes, with BOOST&Co's consent. The Group
is focused on organic growth as opposed to acquisitive growth, and therefore
believes that these funds can be better deployed to support this strategy.
As part of its routine detailed forecasting processes (which includes stress
testing), it is possible that the Group may need to use some of these funds to
support continued investment in growth.  All tests show that the Group can
move into profitability within its existing resources, whilst maintaining a
normal working capital profile and repayment schedule.

 

Should the Group significantly under achieve against its revenue and growth
targets, the Board routinely prepares contingency plans to deal with lower
performance and any ensuing shortfall in working capital. These typically
entail cost reductions mainly around overheads and as well as in discretionary
expansion expenditure. Other measures could involve the disposal of assets.
Furthermore, the Group could seek, as in previous years, the support of
investors to raise additional debt or equity. Based upon the above, the
Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate working
capital for the twelve months following the date of signing these interim
results. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing these interim results.

 

In accordance with IFRS 5 'Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued
operations', the net results of Assynt Group Limited and subsidiaries
("Assynt") which was disposed of on 6 October 2021 are presented within
discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
and the assets and liabilities of these operations are presented separately on
the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of financial information in accordance with generally accepted
accounting practice, in the case of the Group being IFRS as adopted by the
European Union, requires the Directors to make estimates and judgements that
affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and
the disclosures made in the financial statements. Such estimates and
judgements must be continually evaluated based on historical experience and
other factors, including expectations of future events. The significant
judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies were
the same as those applied in the last annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2022.

 

4. Segmental reporting

 

The Directors consider that the Group's internal financial reporting is
organised along product and service lines and, therefore, segmental
information has been presented about business segments. The segmental analysis
of the Group's business was derived from its principal activities as set out
below. The information below also comprises the disclosures required by IFRS 8
in respect of products and services as the Directors consider that the
products and services sold by the disclosed segments are essentially similar
and, therefore, no additional disclosure in respect of products and services
is required. The other segment below and overleaf is made up of the parent
company's administrative operation.
