Review of activities

The year to 31 December 2023 has continued to be a difficult time for
small‐cap listed companies and for those companies with a technology focus.
However, notwithstanding this market backdrop, the majority of the Company's
investments have continued to make good progress during the period with the
key developments being summarised in the following section.

 

Mindflair is an investment company focused on next generation technology with
a focus on the application of AI to transform large traditional industries.
Mindflair invests in its portfolio companies directly, or indirectly, as set
out below, through: (i) its investments in three funds managed by Sure Valley
Ventures ("SVV") and (ii) its investment in Sure Ventures plc.

 

 

                       Investments                     SVV1                        SVV2                        SVV3                Sure Ventures plc
 Direct                Getvisibility, Low6 and Precog  13%                         5.9%                        16%                 21.3%

 Cornerstone investor                                  Enterprise Ireland          British Business Bank       Enterprise Ireland

 Net interest                                          18.9%                       7.2%                        16%                 21.3%

 

The Company's principal investment portfolio categories are summarised below:

 

                               Cost or valuation at 31 December 2023  Cost or valuation at 31 December 2022

                               £000's                                 £000's
 Categories
 SVV investments               4,932                                  5,219
 Direct investments            1,563                                  2,901
 Cash/other listed securities  206                                    856
 Total                         6,701                                  8,976

 

The cash balance above as at 31 December 2023 does not include the proceeds
from the placing that took place in December 2023. The principal cause of the
reduction in the portfolio valuation during the year related to the insolvency
of Emergent Entertainment Limited (although the original net cash investment
in this company was circa US$200,000).

 

On 23 February 2023, the Company announced that it had agreed to invest in
SVV's new venture capital fund, SVV3, alongside Enterprise Ireland, the fund's
cornerstone investor that committed 50% or €15 million to the fund.

 

 

A.            The SVV investments

1.       Sure Valley Ventures Fund 1 ("SVV1")

SVV1 is SVV's first fund which has completed its new investment phase and has
now entered  its realisation phase. It has already achieved three
realisations/liquidity events to date, with more expected in the short term.

Within the SVV1 portfolio, highlights during 2023 include:

 

·    GetVisibility is a cybersecurity company focusing on data visibility
and control and uses state‐of‐the‐art artificial intelligence ("AI") to
classify and secure unstructured information. The company has continued to
grow its sales pipeline, with a number of new channel partners being
onboarded, leading to an increase in its number of enterprise customers to
over 250 in 39 countries.

 

Mindflair also has a direct interest in GetVisibility and, an additional
indirect interest through SV plc. The total valuation of the Company's
interest in GetVisibility, held both direct and indirectly, amounts to circa
£2.43 million (€2.8 million) based on the company's last funding round. A
number of conversations have already taken place with regard to the possible
sale of this company at a higher valuation.

 

·    CameraMatics offers a cloud based, SaaS solution to fleet managers,
enabling companies to deal with the increasing demands around driver
shortages, driver retention, rising fuel costs, insurance costs, emission
output and driver safety protocols. Its in‐house developed smart
technologies, smart vision systems, AI safety technologies, fleet safety/risk
management tools and data software solutions have been achieving good results
for customers. In Q1 2023, the company raised €3 million from existing
investors at an increasing valuation to assist with funding growth.
CameraMatics has continued to grow both annual recurring revenue and
customers, with expansion into new geographies, such as the US and new clients
being won including Maritime Transport, one of the UK's largest privately
owned transport companies, Van Elle and Hendrick European. The company will
also be receiving around €12 million in funding from the Disruptive
Technology and Innovation Fund to develop next generation neural processing
units to improve driver safety.

 

·    LandVault, a large metaverse builder, successfully raised an
additional US$3 million after extending its Series B funding round in April
2023. This strategic funding was raised from Web3 focused investors including,
The Sandbox, The Gemini Frontier Fund, HodICo and hedge fund Kingsway Capital.
The proceeds of the fundraise will assist its global expansion, further
investment in innovative technologies and development of an open protocol,
Matera, to make the metaverse experience more accessible. The company has
signed a number of new deals with an increased focus on the Middle East.

 

·    Virtex has developed an app called Virtex Stadium which is an
application that enables esports organisers to host their existing formats on
a 3D entertainment platform, offering millions of viewers a completely new
viewing experience. Virtex has recently completed a £1.8 million fundraise at
a higher valuation than the cost of the original investment and closed its
first major commercial deal in December 2023 worth $3.5 million with the
operator of an esports venue to provide technology and solutions for viewing
esports live in 3D.

 

·    Everyangle, whose computer vision solutions help retailers improve
efficiencies, optimise operations and reduce losses, recorded over 200% growth
in 2023 alone. They have recently expanded their product suite with advanced
demographic analytics, enhancing their market‐leading footfall solution.
Recent product enhancements around customer identification and speed of
service have been designed to reveal genuine convertible traffic, optimise
retail service efficiency and elevate customer satisfaction. A number of new
contracts have been signed and new functionality has been added.

 

·    Smarttech247 Group plc ("Smarttech247") (AIM: S247) is an established
global artificial intelligence‐based cybersecurity business, specialising in
automated managed detection and response. Recent full year and interim results
of Smarttech247 demonstrate that the company is continuing to grow revenue and
EBITDA and win new contracts. The company was also recognised again as one of
the fastest growing tech companies in 2023 by Deloitte. Further updates
include the announcement of a new AI Assistant, a pioneering AI capability for
cybersecurity operations, and the extension of its robust cybersecurity
framework to wider markets.

 

·    Wia, a leading player in smart technology solutions, announced in
2023 the closure of a landmark 5‐year contract with one of the world's most
prominent logistics companies. The agreement, valued at over $2 million,
involves a rollout of energy monitoring across 5 million square metres of
property in 14 countries, underscores the industry's shift towards
sustainability and the pressing need for efficient resource management.

 

·    ENGAGE XR Holdings plc (AIM: EXR) is a metaverse technology company
focused on becoming a leading global provider of virtual communications
solutions through its new fully featured corporate metaverse, ENGAGE Link. The
company also has a proprietary software platform, ENGAGE. ENGAGE provides
users with a platform for creating, sharing, and delivering VR content for
education, training, and online events through its three solutions: Virtual
Campus, Virtual Office, and Virtual Events.

 

In February 2023, the company raised €10.5 million by way of a placing which
included a subscription by HTC for £0.58 million.  In June 2023, Lenovo's
new VR headset was released. Lenovo is a channel partner for ENGAGE XR and so
this is expected to provide a new route to market for the company. In
September 2023, the company published its 2023 interim results which showed
continued revenue growth of 18% over the same period in 2022. More recently
the company has signed its largest contract to date with a large Middle East
based company. It has also just announced its results for 2023 with revenue of
€3.7 million and an improving EBITDA result with net cash at the period end
of €7.9 million.

 

·    VividQ has been making good progress and is now able to share images
of real holograms projected through high‐performance 4K display hardware.
The ability to deliver 'retina resolution' computer‐generated holograms
means that next‐generation VR headsets will be able to offer unparalleled
levels of immersion and realism to users. In Q4 2023, the company raised
£3.2m. The funds were raised at a price which was less than the previous
round but it provides the company with sufficient cash to fund development for
the next two years.

 

As at the year end, SVV1 had a portfolio of 14 investee companies at different
stages of development spanning a range of sectors. The portfolio provides
Mindflair with exposure to a number of key, cutting edge and rapidly growing

SVV1 has completed its investment in new companies and is now in its
realisation phase which should lead to further returns to the Company and its
shareholders.

 

2.            Sure Valley Ventures UK Software Technology Fund
("SVV2")

In March 2022, the Company invested in a second SVV fund, the Sure Valley
Ventures UK Software Technology Fund (the "SVV2"). The principal investor in
the SVV2 is the British Business Bank ("BBB"), an investment arm of the UK
Government. The first close of this fund amounted to £85 million, with the
BBB investing up to £50 million and other investors ("Private Investors"),
including Mindflair, investing up to £35 million over the 10 year life of the
fund.

 

Mindflair expects to invest up to £5 million in total over the life of the
fund which would provide it with a circa 5.9% interest. SVV2 invests in a
range of private UK software companies with a focus on companies in the
Artificial Intelligence sector and within the subsectors of AI in the
enterprise, AI in Immersive Technologies (such as AR/VR) and AI in
Cybersecurity sectors.

 

SVV2 is managed by the same SVV team which, to date, has been highly
successful in achieving a number of cash realisations from, and upward
revaluations of, the majority of the companies in the SVV portfolio. The
profit share arrangements within this new fund are designed to encourage the
involvement of the Private Investors alongside the BBB, meaning that Mindflair
and the other Private Investors would expect to receive a significantly
enhanced share of the total return generated by the fund compared to industry
standard.

 

As at the period end, SVV2 had made three investments in which are described
below:

 

 RETinZE  Limited             RETiniZE is an award-winning creative-tech company based in Belfast, Northern

                            Ireland.  The company is developing an innovative software product called
 (RETinZE Limited)            Animotive that is harnessing the latest VR and Generative Al technologies to

                            transform the 3D animation production process.

 Jaid                         Jaid is a rapidly growing platform that uses Al as a Service (AIaaS) solution

                            to help businesses reduce costs, improve efficiency and make data-driven
 (Opsmatix Systems Limited)   decisions, including client service automation, sales automation, payment

                            exception processing and claims administration processing.

 Captur                       Captur is a company that has built an enterprise AI platform for real-time,

                            rules-based image recognition. Existing investors, MMC Ventures and Ascension
 (Captur Limited)             Ventures participated in this round, along with other investors including
                              ex-Deliveroo, and enterprise AI investors Concept Ventures and Two Culture
                              Capital, backers of ElevenLabs and Electric AI.

                              The company's technology uses Edge AI, the implementation of artificial
                              intelligence in an edge computing environment, which allows calculations to be
                              completed nearby to where data is created, rather than an offsite data centre
                              or a centralised cloud computing facility. This localised processing allows
                              Captur's technology to make decisions using visual AI in under 3 seconds.

                              Captur's visual AI solution is fast to implement and offers product owners
                              easy-to-embed APIs and SDKs that act as a smart camera within their mobile
                              apps. Captur is currently being used in the delivery sector for drivers to map
                              doorways and verify the correct address, reducing delivery to incorrect
                              addresses and fraud by up to 40%.  Captur has recently made significant
                              progress on new business and product features. They have launched their real-
                              time camera SDK into production, which is now being used by tens of thousands
                              of users per month. They have continued to grow their market lead in mobility
                              with plans to launch with new clients in the US and AUS markets in H1'24. They
                              are also expanding into delivery and logistics and are in late-stage
                               negotiations with a Fortune 100 retailer in the US.

 

The funding requirement for this fund is expected to be met from existing cash
resources and/or realisations from SVV1.  In June 2024, a fourth investment
was made in this fund in Ittybit, a pioneering developer tools company.

2.            Sure Valley Ventures III Limited Partnership ("SVV3")

On 23 February 2023, Mindflair announced that it had agreed to invest in SVV's
new venture capital fund, SVV3, alongside Enterprise Ireland, the fund's
cornerstone investor who has committed 50% or €15 million to the fund. SVV3
plans to invest in circa 15 high growth Al software companies in sectors such
as Enterprise, Immersive Technologies and Cybersecurity across the Republic of
Ireland. Whilst new investments for this fund are being reviewed, the funding
requirement is expected to be relatively limited in the short term and will be
met from existing cash resources and/or realisations from SVV1. In June 2024,
this fund made its first investment in Inspeq AI, a transformative
full‐stack AI Ops platform, alongside Delta Partners and a number of other
leading investors.

 

3.       Sure Ventures plc ("SV plc")

SV plc (LSE: SURE) is a London‐listed venture capital fund which invests in
early‐stage software companies in the rapidly growing technology areas of
Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Internet of Things and Artificial
Intelligence. Mindflair has a 21.3% shareholding in SV plc whose principal
investments are a 25.9% interest in SVV1, a 5.9% commitment to SVV2 and an
investment in VividQ. Consequently, as a result of its shareholding in SV plc,
Mindflair has an aggregate (direct and indirect) interest in SVV1 of around
19%, which comprises its original direct 13% interest in SVV1 and an indirect
interest of 5.9%. It also has an aggregate interest of 7.2% in SVV2. This
investment is carried at its market value and as at 31 December 2023, SV plc's
NAV per share was £1.07 (€1.24) compared to a current share price of
£0.725.

 

B.            Direct investments

 

 Getvisibility                   Details of this investment are covered in the section above.

                               in North America with the ambition to be the global leader in fan engagement.
                                 A number of new partnerships have been established, including the appointment

 (Low6 Limited)                  years, who have also invested in Low6. In July 2023, the company announced

                               that it had become EBITDA positive and in February 2024 it said that it
                                 expected current year revenue to be around £4.5 million and that it had
                                 traded profitable for the last 7 months.

 (Polience Limited)              international government security and law enforcement agencies and transport
                                 infrastructure organisations.  The company is involved in a number of
                                 customer deployments. The signature of one or two new contracts is expected to
                                 result in an uplift in valuation.
 Emergent Entertainment Limited  Emergent is focused on becoming a next‐generation entertainment company,
                                 bringing audiences and storytellers together by harnessing emerging
                                 technologies. Whilst in the earlier part of 2023, the management team had been
                                 working on reducing the company's cost base and had revised its 2023 revenue
                                 forecasts upwards, as the year progressed trading deteriorated. Then in
                                 December 2023, the Company announced that Emergent was engaging with
                                 insolvency advisers and expected to be shortly placed into liquidation which
                                 then took place on 10 January 2024 with a resolution to voluntarily wind up
                                 the company.

                                 This investment has therefore been provided for in full.

 

Other

 

As at the end of March 2024, John May, a non-executive director, retired from
the board after a number of years with the Company in order to devote more
time to his other roles.

 

 

Financial

For the year under review, the Company reported a loss before taxation of
£2.67 million (for the year ended 31 December 2022: loss of £0.37 million).
The result for the Company includes unrealised gains/losses in the portfolio
of quoted equity investments which are marked to market, plus any return from
and adjustment to the carrying value of its unlisted investments. The
principal cause of the loss for the year related to the insolvency of Emergent
Entertainment Limited (although the original cash investment in this company
was circa US$200,000).

Net asset value as at the end of the year amounted to £5,844,000 (31 December
2022: £7,822,000). We continue to believe that absolute NAV does not fairly
represent the Company's financial potential, given the scope for significant
valuation uplift of the companies within the portfolio. This is clearly
demonstrated by the gains, both realised and unrealised, that have been
achieved to date from the investment portfolio. Furthermore, it is worth
reiterating that realisations that are achieved within the SVV portfolio
result in cash distributions to the Company and are not retained within the
fund.

On 22 December 2022, the Company entered into a two‐year £1.235 million
unsecured loan facility accruing interest at 7.5% per annum with a bullet
repayment of principal and interest at the end of the term. Warrants over
47,839,284 new ordinary shares were issued to the investors which will vest if
the average of the Company's volume weighted average price over five
consecutive trading days exceeds 5.163 pence within the three‐year exercise
period of the warrants. The warrant exercise price is 4 pence, which
represented a 60% premium to the closing mid‐market price of 2.5 pence per
the Company's ordinary share on 21 December 2022. These are currently the only
unexercised warrants that are in issue.

On 21 December 2023, the Company placed 91,300,000 shares at a price of 0.8
pence per share, raising gross proceeds of £730,400, The shares were placed
at a 30 per cent. discount to the closing mid‐price of the ordinary shares
on 20 December 2023.

 

Post year end

In January 2024, Warducks was unable to raise new funding and therefore filed
for liquidation. In June 2024, a new investment was made in Inspeq AI, a
transformative full‐stack AI Ops platform, alongside Delta Partners and a
number of other leading investors. This was the first investment by SVV3. Also
in June 2024, the fourth investment by SVV2 was made in Ittybit, a pioneering
developer tools company. In addition, in June 2024, Ambisense went into
liquidation as it was unable to raise new funds.

Outlook

 

Our investment strategy is focused on AI based next generation technology
businesses. Whilst 2023 has been a difficult year, we believe that significant
progress has been made by the majority of our investments and that the outlook
for the respective sectors in which they operate remains encouraging.

We expect that in the coming months we will see some additional realisations
or liquidity events from the investment portfolio. Furthermore, it is
important to note that, as previously mentioned, the first SVV fund has now
completed its deployment phase and so is in its realisation phase which is
expected to generate further cash inflows for the Company.

In summary, we believe that our portfolio provides excellent exposure to
companies at the forefront of the AI revolution with the potential for
significant growth and the ability to deliver real returns for shareholders.
