* For customers invoiced in currencies other than pounds sterling ARR and ARPU
is calculated by translating charges at the applicable 31 July 2022 exchange
rate (with the exception of the 30 September 2022 ARR and ARPU which is set at
exchange rates on that date). Comparative period ARR is provided on a constant
currency basis by retranslating foreign currency amounts at the 31 July 2022
exchange rate.

** LBITDA is the loss for the period from continuing operations before net
finance costs, tax, depreciation, amortisation, reorganisation and
transactional items, impairment charges and share based payment charge

Commenting on outlook, Frank Beechinor, CEO of SmartSpace, said:

"As indicated in our recent Trading Update, our primary objective is to build
a high growth SaaS business with strong recurring revenues. The results
outlined above for SwipedOn and Space Connect illustrate that these key
objectives are being achieved.  We continue to see good momentum in SwipedOn
and it is great to see the momentum return in Space Connect after a slow start
to the year. It is encouraging to see a significant uplift in Evoko Naso sales
which have continued to grow in recent months. Our priorities remain focused
in continuing to deliver strong growth in ARR, growing our new international
geographies and becoming cashflow breakeven towards the end of FY23, to
maximise value for shareholders over the coming years."

Introduction

As a Group we remain committed to growing SaaS revenues to develop a
profitable and cash generative business. We have made progress on this core
strategy with 45% growth in revenue and a significant reduction in LBITDA and
cash consumption. Group ARR grew by 32% year on year on a constant currency
basis, to £5.17m. Our focus remains on growing revenue from existing
customers through account expansion and upselling, as well as finding valuable
multi-location new customers both in our existing core markets, and by
targeting new international geographies.

Software development during the period has been geared towards creating
revenue generating opportunities. Since the beginning of the year, we have
completed development of a freemium version of SwipedOn, which we are
trialling in the UK, with the aim of allowing us to establish a new base of
prospective customers. The recent launch of the Android version and
introduction of the full multi-region/language capability of SwipedOn means we
can now accelerate our sales activities, selling into new geographic regions
and markets. One of our other software development priorities which we have
made good progress with is the transition to a single platform. It is
anticipated that the new integrated platform will be released in 2023.

We have developed a new partnership with Yealink, a major international
manufacturer of meeting room and video conferencing hardware. A joint
marketing campaign with special bundle pricing has been launched with Yealink
in the UK, targeting their major partners.

Operational update

SwipedOn

SwipedOn has continued to see good growth in revenue and other key performance
metrics, allowing us to report our first EBITDA profit for SwipedOn of £0.36m
for the six month period. Our software is now well suited to multi-location
customers needing an enterprise level solution, that is simple to implement,
on a self-serve basis, and represents good value for money. This has allowed
us to expand our higher value accounts, as demonstrated by Thermo Fisher, who
have further extended their contract to a full school year running until
October 2023.

SwipedOn's largest Desk customer was signed during the period with the order
coming from an Australian- headquartered consulting business with 200 offices
and 10,000 employees worldwide. They are now using our software to manage over
2,300 desks from 16 locations in the APAC region and are intending to deploy
into their US offices.

During the period we launched a fully localised Korean version of SwipedOn.
There was much to learn about entry into non-English speaking markets, where
the dominant search engine is not Google and with non-Roman characters. Whilst
challenging, important lessons have been learnt, and we have been able to
successfully complete this phase whilst minimising costs. We intend to apply
these learnings to other new geographies, in particular in the Far East.

SwipedOn has recently achieved two important information security
accreditations, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. These certifications demonstrate our
commitment to keeping data secure and operating in accordance with
internationally accepted standards.

Space Connect

Space Connect began the year slower than expected with a limited number of new
customers joining. This was a reflection of the switch in customer needs from
Covid-19 risk control to work space optimisation, resulting in longer
decision-making cycles. Despite the slow start to H1 2023, we have seen
increased sales momentum, resulting in stronger sales performance in May, June
and July, which has continued into August and September. We have also seen
some customers who joined us during the pandemic where Covid-19 mitigation was
the priority, changing their requirements and therefore resulting in some
expansion, contraction, and churn. This meant that the ARR for Space Connect
did not grow as materially during the period as previously announced. However,
the focus has very much shifted to space optimisation and, whilst the sales
cycles are more protracted, it tends to result in 'sticky' customers with a
long-term commitment to using our technology. We continue to see good interest
from our key UK partners, including Softcat, where we have become an 'Elite'
vendor, making Space Connect the only workplace software solution provider
offered to the Softcat sales team.

During the half year our room panel partner, Evoko, launched a new pricing
model and showcased Naso at key trade shows. With these key marketing
initiatives successfully implemented,  we have seen  an acceleration of
sales momentum of Naso, which has resulted in increased cash generation in
Space Connect since May 2022 and helps underpin anticipated revenues
recognised from this division going forwards.  Management expects this
momentum to continue over the coming  months.

Anders and Kern (A&K)

With Covid-19 no longer materially impacting our customers, A&K has been
able to close a number of larger sales which had stalled in the pipeline
during the pandemic. This has allowed A&K to return to pre Covid-19
revenue levels and we anticipate this will continue into the second half of
the year.

Financial review

Group LBITDA has reduced to £0.50m (31 July 2021: LBITDA £1.29m) through 49%
growth in high margin recurring revenue, 39% growth in lower margin hardware
sales, and a 1% reduction in administrative costs. In line with reduced
losses, cash consumed by continuing activities reduced to £0.22m (31 July
2021: £1.33m consumed).

The breakdown of revenue by type is:

                                  Six months to 31 July 2022  Six months to 31 July 2021  Year ended 31 January 2022

 Total revenue                    3,672                       2,524                       5,140

SwipedOn revenue has increased due to higher monthly Average Revenue Per User
("ARPU"). This has come from increased proportion of customers on our Business
and Enterprise level plans which contribute more locations per user, together
with higher subscription fees as a result of the price increase we started to
implement last year. The significant customer wins announced including Thermo
Fisher Scientific and Gategroup, together with the new SwipedOn Desk offering,
are further strengthening revenue growth.

Space Connect revenue has increased against the comparative period due to
higher customer numbers. The effect of increased sales of Naso have yet to
make a significant impact on revenue, as this occurred towards the end of the
reporting period and is largely recognised over time.

A&K made good progress in returning to pre-pandemic revenue levels by
closing a number of larger sales. Revenue for the period was 36% above the
comparative period in 2021.

Group administrative expenses fell by 1% to £3.59m (31 July 2021: £3.63m)
due to a reduction in overall staff costs. Whilst inflation has increased
individual staff costs, this has been offset by a small number of staff
vacancies, which were only filled towards the end of the period. With a full
compliment of staff going into the second half of the year, administrative
costs are expected to rise reflecting the impact of inflation, albeit to be
offset by anticipated revenue growth.

A profit of £29,000 relating to recently settled outstanding contingent
obligations from the disposals of Smartspace Global in FY21, and Comunica
Holdings in FY19, was recognised during the period.

Loss per share from continuing operations improved to 3.87p (31 July 2022:
Loss per share 5.49p).

Cash flow

Cash used in continuing operations amounted to £0.22m (31 July 2022:
£1.33m). The reduction in cash consumption occurred through reduced trading
losses together with a net positive movement in working capital primarily
generated by increased deferred revenue.

Cash outflows from financing activities of £78K (31 July 2022: £34K) relate
to the repayment of lease liabilities, mortgage repayments, and a repayment
interest free Covid-19 loan, provided by the New Zealand government.

The above cash flows resulted in a cash balance at the period end of £2.32
million (31 July 2021: £3.37 million) and a net cash position of £1.97
million (31 July 2021: £2.97 million).

Outlook

With the pandemic mostly behind us, we are seeing a change in sentiment
towards efficiency and work place optimisation. This shift is beginning to
contribute to sales growth, with growing interest in both Space Connect and
SwipedOn. Growth in Evoko Naso receipts offers further promise of revenue
growth in the second half of the year and beyond. While there are still
challenges and uncertainties in the current environment, not least from cost
inflation, we remain confident of achieving our objectives of becoming a
profitable high growth SaaS business. The Board have plans in place to
transition SmartSpace through to cash generation and believes the Group has
sufficient liquidity to complete this transition. SmartSpace is therefore well
positioned to meet targets for this financial year and remains optimistic
about growth prospects.

People

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all my colleagues for their hard
work and efforts in delivering the successes achieved in the first half of the
year.
