Notes to editors
The Pelatro Group was founded in March 2013 by Subash Menon and Sudeesh
Yezhuvath with the objective of offering specialised, enterprise class
software solutions for customer engagement principally to telcos who face a
series of challenges including market maturity, saturation and customer churn.
Pelatro provides its "mViva" platform for use by customers in B2C and B2B
applications and is well positioned in the Customer Engagement space. Our
technology orchestrates the digital journey of the customers of the telcos
through contextual, relevant and real time offers and loyalty programs across
multiple channels including websites, social media, apps and others.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Overview
The markets we serve have become increasingly sophisticated but the underlying
themes of providing good service with outstanding products and generating real
value for our customers continues to serve us and our customer base well. For
us this has resulted in a year of consolidating our position as a recurring
revenues service provider as well as winning new customers, ensuring we are
able to report healthy growth in our business. We will still provide our
software and services through a licence model if that is preferred by a
customer, but this is no longer the norm.
Operations
We started the year in January 2021 with our mViva platform being chosen by an
Asian telco for campaign management operations. This Asian telco is part of a
much larger international telco group and we have found this is an ideal way
to penetrate these larger diverse entities. We followed this with a Framework
Agreement later in the year with the parent company, so that its operating
companies in various jurisdictions can be serviced by Pelatro under one
agreement. Including these and despite the Covid situation, Pelatro won three
new telco customers in 2021, taking us to 23 customers in various countries
around the world. We have also been extending the breadth and quality of our
products and services we provide to our telco customers. Part of our growth
effort has been directed towards the non-telco space, where non-telco brand
campaigns and adverts can be sent to consumers via their mobile phones. We
have recruited a senior manager for this area and are building the team but
are proceeding cautiously in terms of new contracts to ensure that they are on
appropriate terms.
India has taken longer to emerge from the various Covid disruptions than the
UK and currently continues to remain cautious with regards to Covid. With our
main operations based in Bangalore, we have successfully managed home working
by our staff which has meant there has not been a significant effect on our
day-to day operations and we have been able to continue to provide excellent
levels of service to our customers. This included our five year Managed
Services contract which went live with our largest customer in India. The
implementation was smooth and successful, with over 400 million subscribers
being transferred over to the new system.
The numbers of staff attending our offices safely for work has been at the 30%
level for some time now and we expect this gradually to grow over the coming
months. Our executive team have also been prevented from travelling overseas,
but air travel has also opened up and they are now able to meet our
international customer base and pursue new opportunities in person.
Non telco operations
Pelatro has been working on entering non telco sectors for the past nine
months. We have initially focused on banks and fintech companies as sectors,
with over 50 potential customers being targeted in India, as a geographic
starting point. Through these extensive interactions over these months, it has
become amply clear that these enterprises are keen on customer journey
mapping, customer journey analytics and customer journey orchestration. This
is a very new product set to these businesses but a number have expressed
interest in exploring an engagement. Given our extensive experience in the
telco sector our product mViva has very strong capabilities with respect to
customer journey orchestration and on that basis we are confident of winning
our first customer in this space during 2022.
We expect to undertake further recruitment to service this space when our
initial customer engagements begin to mature and the business model develops
further. The extent of this recruitment will depend on the potential
geographic and sector breadth of the roll out.
Other developments
In June, we took the opportunity to raise approximately £3.3m through an
equity placing of new shares with new and existing shareholders to help grow
our sales and marketing as well as to repay debt and strengthen the Group's
balance sheet. In December, our CFO Nic Hellyer, who had been with Pelatro for
over four years on a part-time basis, moved to a full-time role with us.
We continue to closely monitor the situation in Ukraine, the response of
international governments and any potential impact on the Group. Pelatro has a
small development and support team in Russia, representing around 13% of the
Group's cash cost base. This team can and does operate remotely with no
requirement for travel, and is currently fully operational. The Group has no
revenue from Russia or any other related sanctioned jurisdiction.
Outlook
Against this backdrop, we are delighted to be able to show in these results
figures which are in line with expectations; with solid growth in the revenue
line of over 80% to $7.3m from $4.0m the previous year, with the majority
being of a recurring revenue nature. The Group also continues to trade in-line
with expectations and our recurring revenue base gives us good visibility over
the coming year and, together with our new business pipeline, gives us every
confidence for the rest of 2022 and beyond.

Chairman
MANAGING DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Change, as they say, is the only constant phenomenon. Does this mean change
can only be involuntary and accidental? Absolutely not. The type of change
that people and organisations benefit from are those that are brought about by
design. Those that involve strategizing and meticulous execution -
particularly when it comes to a company. Your company went through a
well-orchestrated change during 2019 and 2020 and the results came in during
2021.
The Orchestrated Change
When we started the process in 2019, we had clearly articulated both the goal
and the path to it. The objective was to shift our revenue model from a
one-time license fee model to recurring and/or repeating revenue, with an
emphasis on recurring. Given that recurring revenue is now a sustainable 70%
or so of revenue we believe we have achieved that goal. Furthermore, from a
low of 20% at the time of the IPO in 2017, recurring and repeating business
has gone up to around 90%, thereby significantly increasing the predictability
and stability of the revenue stream, with the visibility quite high at the
start of the year itself, with a key element of this being the quantum of
annual recurring revenue ("ARR") as we win new contracts. We believe that we
have now reached a stable level with respect to the share of these revenue
streams and that augurs well for the business going forward.
Growing Customer Base
Over the years, we have been successful in adding customers. While this was
impacted by Covid-19, we added three new customers in 2021 taking our tally to
23 customers in 20 countries. Some of the key statistics are given below.
• Processing data of over one billion subscribers
every day
• Processing over 60 billion transactions per day,
in real time, in one customer site alone
• Executing over 15,000 campaigns every day
• Present in 20 countries
Scale is a critical element for any enterprise software and for us that has
now been well established. From a geographical perspective, we now have a
dominant presence in Asia and Africa. Leveraging these achievements, we are
now spreading into Europe.
Going Above and Beyond
Our customers are operating in a highly competitive market wherein they are
being squeezed by two strong forces - reducing revenue per customer and
increasing churn. Between these two debilitating factors, the telcos are
finding it extremely difficult to increase revenue and margin. In this tough
situation, vendors need to shoulder more responsibilities and become true
partners. Pelatro is committed to this vision. Over the past few years, we
have built extensive capabilities in the following areas.
• Development of campaign strategy
• Campaign consultancy
• Campaign execution
• Platform operation
• Reporting
With these enhanced capabilities, we help our customers to effectively use our
solution to increase revenue and reduce churn. In many instances some of
Pelatro's revenue is linked to performance thereby ensuring that interests are
aligned with our customers. Thus, we share the risk perceived by our customers
while helping them to meet their objectives to the fullest extent possible.
We have been on this specific journey for the past three years and are
convinced that this is the way forward. Our customers are increasingly seeing
us as partners and not mere vendors. They are highly appreciative of the value
added by Pelatro with respect to both the software solution and the overall
operations. Such engagements are flourishing on the basis of actual
incremental revenue generated by Pelatro over the past few years and a
comparison of the same with the status within the telcos prior to that period,
and the uplift brought about by Pelatro is compelling enough for the telcos to
increasingly rely on us for operations in the form of managed services.
As noted in the Chairman's statement we have also begun the journey similarly
to add value to non-telco customers. We will invest in this side of the
business prudently and, while it is early days, we expect these engagements to
further increase our revenue in the years to come.
I take this opportunity to thank all of you and look forward to your continued
support in our effort to go above and beyond.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income Statement
Revenue
Out of our total revenue of $7.27m, approximately $4.79m (66%) arose from
recurring revenue (2020: $2.85m), comprising some $3.46m from managed service
and gain share contracts and the balance from post-contract support. A further
$1.96m came from change requests (2020: $0.43m) which are not contractually
"recurring" but tend to provide "repeat" income as our customers' usage of the
product evolves. Accordingly, over 90% of revenue was "repeating" in nature,
compared to just over 80% in 2020.
This increase reflects the push by the Group over the last few years into
recurring revenue contracts which initially resulted in a fall in revenue as
"one off" license revenues were replaced by sustainable longer-term contracts.
Whilst the coronavirus pandemic over the last two years had a relatively
limited impact on high-level decision making at our customers, it did
nonetheless slow our marketing efforts which, for high-level enterprise
software such as ours, do require some level of face-to-face contact. Despite
this, three new customers were added during the year; this, together with the
number of recurring revenue customers, further reduced customer concentration
with now only two customers accounting for more than 10% of revenue.
Cost of sales and overheads
Cost of sales increased by 29% to $2.2m (2020: $1.7m). These costs comprise
principally (i) the direct salary costs of providing software support and
maintenance, professional services and consultancy; (ii) expensed customer
implementation; (iii) third-party software maintenance and licensing costs;
and (iv) sales commissions. The increase in 2021 results almost entirely from
the full year effect of staff taken on to service managed service and similar
contracts commenced in 2020.
Pre-exceptional overheads (excluding depreciation and amortisation) increased
to $2.3m (2020: $1.9m), reflecting the increase in business activity and hence
people costs, plus additional efforts in sales and marketing, notably
establishing the Group presence via social media. Travel costs were maintained
at a relatively low level given the ongoing restrictions on international
travel and the Group's success in enabling support and implementation
functions remotely.
Profitability
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and
exceptional items, as adjusted for the effect of certain non-recurring or
exceptional items) rose strongly by over 6x in the year to $2.81m (2020:
$0.44m). After taking into account net finance costs and depreciation and
amortisation (including c. $0.7m of acquisition-related amortisation) loss
before tax was $(0.67)m (2020: loss of $(2.22)m before exceptional items).
Adjusted loss per share was (0.4)¢ (2020: loss of (5.5)¢), and reported loss
per share was (2.1)¢ (2020: loss (7.2)¢).
Statement of Financial Position
Intangible assets
Capitalised development costs and patents
Capitalised development costs reduced slightly to $2.6m (2020: $2.9m)
reflecting a reduction in direct costs attributable to software development,
particularly in Nizhny Novgorod. Amounts capitalised during the year included
investments in the mViva Contextual Marketing Platform ("CMP") which was
developed from v.6.1 to v.6.2, the Unified Communication management
("UCM")/Link product from 12.1 to 13.0 and various new modules which add to
and enhance the core product suite. The carrying value of these software
assets together with the carrying value of software assets capitalised in
previous periods was reviewed for impairment at the balance sheet date and no
impairment was required.
The Group continues to protect its IP by registering patents when relevant and
spent a further $30,000 on patent development over the year. Net of
amortisation, the net book value of intangible assets relating to development
costs and patents in the statement of financial position is approximately
$6.4m (2020: $5.9m).
Property, plant and equipment
Expenditure on property, plant and equipment was minimal at $88,000,
principally relating to IT and peripheral equipment. This compares to $0.9m in
2020 which related mainly to IT equipment placed on site at a customer's
premises to implement the related managed services contract.
Depreciation in the year amounted to $0.30m (excluding amounts relating to
Right-to-Use assets now recognised under IFRS 16, and gross of amounts
capitalised as intangible assets) (2020: $0.20m). The increase largely
reflects depreciation now charged on the customer site IT assets referred to
above. The aggregate net book value of property, plant and equipment fell
accordingly from $1.22m to $0.98m.
Right of use assets
The Group recognises certain long-term leases under IFRS 16 as "right of use"
assets. The reduction in the overall value of the right of use assets from
$0.31m in 2020 to $0.24m in 2021, is net of depreciation of $0.17m and capital
additions of $0.1m. These additions do not reflect new leases but instead the
capitalised value of expected extensions to current leases. The Group has had
its office accommodation requirements (principally in Bangalore) under review
for some time, however, the COVID pandemic and associated uncertainty had put
such considerations on hold, but the Group now believes that a significant
office consolidation will take place by the beginning of 2023.
Trade receivables and contract assets
Trade receivables
At 31 December 2021 total trade receivables (i.e. including long-term
receivables) stood at $4.96m (2020: $3.48m). This figure includes:
(a) a receivable of $0.64m the payment of which is subject to a government
approval process in the customer's jurisdiction. This process generally leads
to a substantial delay to the payment of the amount outstanding - the payment
concerned was originally expected in Q4 2021; however, the delay was
compounded by a change to the underlying procedure which has resulted in the
payment now being expected in Q2 2022. This delay is purely procedural and no
impairment of the underlying amount is expected; and
(b) a receivable of $1.14m relating to an entire license contract which,
though live with the customer, was pending final approval. This has taken
place post the year end and $0.46m of the debt has been received to date.
In addition to the $0.46m, just under $1.5m has been received since the year
end to date, i.e. a total of $1.9m.
Contract assets
Contract assets are recognised relating to support and maintenance revenue and
license fees as invoices are raised in arrears of the revenue recognition
relating to the services being provided. In addition, contract assets include
contract fulfilment assets relating to sales commission provisions, the cost
of which is amortised over the life of the corresponding contract.
Short-term contract assets deriving from revenue (i.e. those which are
expected to reverse in less than one year) decreased to $0.38m (2020: $0.46m),
arising from one license contract signed in the year which had invoicing terms
which differed significantly from the underlying performance obligations.
Long-term contract assets deriving from revenue (i.e. those which are expected
to reverse after more than one year) decreased to $0.23m (2020: $0.31m),
reflecting the invoicing profile of various products and services, principally
on PCS.
Fulfilment assets included in contract assets total $0.18m (2020: $0.15m) in
respect of short-term assets (representing costs directly relating to certain
contracts to be recognised in profit and loss in the next 12 months); and
$0.38m (2020: $0.44m) in respect of long-term assets (representing costs
directly relating to certain contracts to be recognised in profit and loss
after one year). These assets largely reflect sales commissions first
contracted in 2020.
Trade and other payables, provisions and contract liabilities
Trade and other payables
At the year end, short-term trade payables stood at $0.15m (2020: $0.81m), the
reduction being due entirely to an exceptional amount due in respect of sales
commissions payable at the end of 2020 which were paid in 2021. Other
short-term payables of $0.45m (2020: $0.28m), were due principally to amounts
due in respect of staff bonuses and the balance for sundry creditors.
Provisions
Under the Indian Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, employees in the Group's Indian
subsidiary with more than 5 years' service are eligible for the payment of a
"gratuity" upon certain end of employment events - short-term provisions
include amounts estimated in respect of such gratuity payments, as well as
carried over leave payments and sundry expense provisions, in total $37,000
(2020: $79,000). The tax provision fell from $84,000 to $35,000 mainly due to
an increase in the amount of tax deducted at source from our Indian subsidiary
which reduced the year end tax creditor.
Long-term provisions of $0.20m (2020: $0.17m) relate solely to amounts
estimated in respect of leave encashment and gratuity payments. Further
details of such provisions are given in Note 26.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities represent customer payments received in advance of
satisfying performance obligations, which are expected to be recognised as
revenue in 2022 and beyond. Short-term contract liabilities remained broadly
stable at $0.47m (2020: $0.50m) and long-term contract liabilities increased
slightly to $0.28m (2020: $0.21m).
Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flow and financing
Cash generated by operations before tax payments amounted to $1.27m (2020:
$2.60m), the reduction largely resulting from the effect of the trade
receivables which were still outstanding at the year end referred to above and
the payment of the commissions referred to in the note on creditors above.
In July we raised c. $4.3m net of expenses by way of an equity placing. This
has supported the Group's expansion, both in terms of recruitment (in
particular in sales), the repayment of debt (some $0.75m) and working capital
generally.
The Group had closing gross cash of $3.3m (2020: $1.8m). Borrowings amounted
to $0.75m (2020: $1.4m) excluding amounts relating to lease liabilities. These
borrowings are to be repaid on an Equal Monthly Instalment ("EMI") basis over
the next 2-5 years.
Summary
Our performance this year reflects the work done over the last few years in
transitioning the Group towards long-term managed service contracts
underpinned by a solid base of support revenue, and a more normal year of
change request income. The Group starts the year with a material proportion of
the expected total revenue for the year underpinned by recurring revenue
already contracted and repeating revenue (i.e. change requests) under purchase
orders. The Board therefore remains optimistic that the Group is on track to
deliver a strong year of growth.

The Group has two customers representing individually over 10% of revenue each
and in aggregate approximately 38% of total revenue at $2.73m (2020: three
customers, approximately 53% of total revenue at $2.14m). The two customers
accounted for revenue of $1.63m and $1.10m (2020: $0.89m, $0.63m and $0.62m).
Remaining performance obligations
There are certain software support, professional service, maintenance and
licences contracts that have been entered into for which both:
• the original contract period was greater than 12
months; and
• the Group's right to consideration does not
correspond directly with performance.
The amount of revenue that will be recognised in future periods on these
contracts when those remaining performance obligations will be satisfied is
shown below.

15 Earnings
Reported earnings per share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") amounts are calculated by dividing net profit
or loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
The Group has one category of security potentially dilutive to ordinary shares
in issue, being those share options granted to employees where the exercise
price (plus the remaining expected charge to profit under IFRS 2) is less than
the average price of the Company's ordinary shares during the period in issue.
No dilution arose in the year as the exercise price was above the average
share price for the year.
The following reflects the earnings and share data used in the basic earnings
per share computations:

The Group recognises impairments under IFRS 9 for relevant classes of assets.
The Group thus reviews the amount of expected credit loss associated with its
trade receivables based on forward looking estimates that take into account
current and forecast credit conditions as opposed to relying on past
historical default rates. In the absence of any historic credit losses and the
expectation of no specific losses in the foreseeable future, the Directors
assess a hypothetical likely default amount by applying a percentage
"probability of default" to the receivables balance, such probability being
related to the underlying credit rating of the customer or country of origin.
Furthermore, taking into account the time value of money when applied to
contracts assets (which may unwind over a period of years following their
initial recognition), a loss allowance for expected credit losses has been
recorded as follows:
2021 2020
$'000 $'000
Loss allowance at 1 January 37 29
Increase in loss allowance 52 8
_______ _______
Loss allowance at 31 December 89 37
The loss allowance is comprised as follows:

$'000 $'000
On trade receivables 75 30
On contract assets 14 7
_______ _______
Loss allowance at 31 December 89 37
The largest individual counterparty to a receivable included in trade and
other receivables at 31 December 2021 was $1.14m (of which some $0.68m related
to unbilled revenue) (2020: $0.56m). Based on invoiced receivables, the
largest individual counterparty owed the Group $0.52m (2020: $0.20m). The
increase in loss allowance is due almost entirely to two individually
significant receivables balances (other than the largest) from customers
located in a jurisdiction with a notionally higher risk of default, and the
weighting of the largest within the loss allowance calculation. Other than
these, the Group's customers are spread across a broad range of geographies,
and approximately $1.5m has been received from customers since the reporting
date.

Under the Indian Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, employees with more than 5
years' service are eligible for the payment of a "gratuity" upon certain end
of employment events, including retirement, resignation, death and termination
or redundancy. The calculation of the gratuity due is based on the last drawn
salary and number of years of service. The potential liability arising from
these requirements is calculated by third party actuaries based on employee
profiles, their completed number of years in the organization, their age,
salary and also on the probability of termination of employment, and a
provision made accordingly.
Under the terms of their employment, employees are eligible to carry forward
30 "earned leaves" (EL) to the next calendar year. Any EL balance over and
above this is paid in cash by March the following year, hence resulting in a
long-term provision.

On 2 and 5 July the Company issued a further 8,375,000 2.5 pence Ordinary
shares at a price of 40.0 pence per share by way of a placing to institutional
and other investors. The Company incurred incremental costs totalling $333,000
in respect of the Placing. IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation requires
the costs of issuing new shares to be charged against the share premium
account. Management reviewed the incremental costs to identify those solely
incurred in issuing new shares, those incurred in connection with the entire
share capital, and those not associated with issuing new shares. All of the
costs relating to the Placing were deemed to relate directly to the issue of
new shares and thus resulted in a debit to share premium of $333,000.
