1H FY20 financial statements.
ikeGPS (IKE) today released its unaudited financial statements relating to performance for the
six-month period to 30 September 2019 (all figures NZD). Key metrics delivered are ahead of
prior market guidance:
+ Record revenue of approximately $5.25m. Above guidance of $5m.

and sustainability of earnings with approximately 62% of revenue from IKE Analyze
transactions or recurring software subscriptions.
+ Record gross margin of approximately $3.8m and with gross margin percentage of 72%
(increased against PCP of 65% and above guidance for 70%).
+ Continued progress with the targeted customer base, now with ten of the largest 15
Communication and Cable companies in North America in deployments or pilots (increased
from eight in the September 2019 update).
+ The emergence of a substantial new market opportunity for IKE Analyze around 5G mobile
network developments, with important lead customers contracted.
+ Market timing, forward contracts, and ongoing transactional revenue provides confidence in
outlook in 2H FY20 and beyond.
The charts below further set out momentum;
Takeaways;

IKE CEO Glenn Milnes commented;
+ “1H FY20 has been our strongest period yet with the continued growth of revenue and
gross margin from our core Communications and Utility segment.
+ We delivered EBITDA breakeven performance in Q2 FY20, noting that both the months
of May and June were also EBITDA positive.
+ We are pleased that greater than 70% of FY20 revenue is now expected to be
generated from IKE Analyze transactions - a “transaction” represents the analysis &
processing of an asset within the IKE cloud pole platform - or recurring software
subscriptions. This is a positive development in terms of revenue quality and has
resulted from the extension of our market offering with IKE Analyze.
+ Ten (updated from eight in September) of the 15 largest communications and cable
companies in the U.S. market are IKE customers or are in pilots. We are focusing on
revenue expansion opportunities within these accounts and developing new pipeline
sales opportunities.
+ An additional market opportunity for IKE Analyze was validated in the period, specific
to 5G mobile network development and we are contracted into one of the largest
businesses building 5G infrastructure across the U.S. The 5G market opportunity in
the U.S. is large and is expected to grow over the coming five or so years. This is an
additive market to the large fiber market opportunity where IKE Analyze has
established a clear value proposition and customer proof points.
+ More generally, we are winning customers and driving transactions across the IKE
platform because our solution enables networks to be deployed faster, more cost-
effectively, and with a higher quality data standard.
+ Subsequent events in October and November 2019 included closing the acquisition of
certain assets of PowerLine Technology Inc (one of the leading structural analysis
software companies in North America), the successful close of an oversubscribed
capital raise of $6.5m, and the appointment of Mark Ratcliffe (former CEO of Chorus
and Chief Operating Officer Wholesale & Technology of Telecom New Zealand) as a
new independent non-executive director.“

Notes to the consolidated interim financial
statements
1. Reporting Entity
ikeGPS Group Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated
in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock
Exchange (“NZX”) and Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). The Company is an FMC reporting
entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The interim financial
statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019 comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) which include ikeGPS Limited and ikeGPS Inc.
The principal activity of the Group is that of design, marketing and sale of integrated GPS data
capture devices, related software and consulting solutions.
The interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 November 2019.
2. Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of measurement
These unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019 have
been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ
GAAP”) and NZ IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These unaudited interim financial statements
also comply with IAS 34 interim financial reporting.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis with the exception of
certain financial instruments which are measured in accordance with the specific relevant
accounting policy.
These unaudited interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally
included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2019, which
have been prepared in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). All significant accounting policies have been applied on a basis
consistent with those used in the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31
March 2019 other than as disclosed in Note 3 below.
Critical estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
11
Notes to the consolidated interim financial
statements
2. Basis of preparation (continued)
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods
affected.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by
management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation
uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2019, other than critical estimates and judgement related to the new
standards adopted by the group as disclosed in note 3 below.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared based on the Group being a going concern, which
assumes the Group has the ability and intention to continue operations for a period of at least 12
months from the date of the financial statements. During the Group’s current growth phase,
investment continues into increasing revenue by developing and expanding the Group’s product
and service offerings. The Group has continued to reduce, but still incur, net cash outflows from
operating and investing activities during this phase. During fiscal year 2020 (FY20), the Group had
cash outflows of $818,000 (2018: $2,384,000) relating to operations, and $512,000 (2018:
$933,000) relating to capitalised internal development for the six months ended 30 September
2019. The cash balance at 30 September 2019 was $2,229,000 (2018: $5,354,000). While making
material improvement on prior years cash outflows, if the current level of cash outflows continued
the Group would not be able to fund its operations without the need to raise additional capital or
alternative funding.
The approved business plan for FY20 includes the prudent management of costs while focusing
effort on investing in the significant sales opportunities for the entity’s products and services.
The plan takes into consideration:
• forecast sales increases of its IKE Solution, focused on sales into the utilities and
telecommunications companies within the United States that are deploying fiber
• continued subscription revenue associated with the IKE Solution
• transaction revenue from the new IKE Analyze solution
• continued prudent operational cost management
• continued focus on optimizing working capital
• the ability of the Group to manage its growth activities and associated costs.
12
Notes to the consolidated interim financial
statements
2. Basis of preparation (continued)
On September 27, 2019 the Group announced it was raising equity of up to $6.5m through a $5.0m
placement and $1.5m retail offer. As documented in the subsequent events in note 9, the equity
raising was successful and settlement of the placement and retail offer was on October 2 and
October 23, 2019 respectively. The equity raised is to support both the acquisition of certain assets
in Powerline Technologies Inc and the continued growth objectives.
Although the Company is not currently engaged in pursuing raising capital in addition to the equity
raising announced on 27 September 2019, the dual listing on the NZX and ASX provides the
Company with the potential option to pursue capital raise opportunities from a wider market in
order to among other things; expand existing business, additional working capital, and acquire or
establish new businesses. The Directors believe that additional capital could be raised should
circumstances necessitate.
On this basis, the directors believe that with the improved operating loss for the 6 months to 30
September 2019 and subsequent equity raising post balance date, the Group has sufficient funding
to continue operations for the next 12 months from the date of authorising the financial statements,
and hence consider the use of the going concern basis appropriate. The Group’s ability to improve
its financial capacity and cash flow generated from its operations cannot be assured.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments in the carrying values of the
assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications
used, that would be necessary if the Group were unable to realise its assets and settle its liabilities
in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.
Apart from the changes noted below, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation
as, and should be read in conjunction with, the financial statements and related notes included in
the Group’s annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2019.
3. New and amended standards adopted by the Group
NZ IFRS 16 Leases
Under NZ IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the
use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Under NZ IAS 17, a
lessee was required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on the balance sheet) and an
operating lease (off balance sheet).
NZ IFRS 16 now requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments
and a ‘right-to-use asset’ for most lease contracts.
13
Notes to the consolidated interim financial
statements
3. New and amended standards adopted by the Group
(continued)
Impact of adoption
The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 from 1 April 2019 using the simplified transition approach.
Under this approach the cumulative effect of initially applying NZ IFRS 16 is recognised as an
adjustment to retained earnings as at 1 April 2019. Comparative figures are not restated but
instead continue to reflect the accounting policies under NZ IAS 17 leases.
On adoption of NZ IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had
previously been classified as operating leases. The liabilities are measured at the present value of
the remaining lease payments, discounted using the ‘incremental borrowing rate’ as of 1 April
2019. The Groups incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 April 2019 was
5.50%.

Judgements and practical expedients used
On transition the company used the practical expedient provided by the new standard to treat any
lease with a term less than 12 months from initial application as a short-term lease and therefore
recognise the lease payments on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The Group has also applied the practical expedient allowing low value lease to be recognised on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Additionally, management has determined not to include the extension option as part of the lease
liability and right to use asset as they cannot be reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the
option to extend the lease.
Lease Liabilities
The maturity of the lease liabilities is as follows:

4. Operating segments
The CEO and senior management team are the Group’s operating decision makers. During the six
months ended 30 September 2019, the Group’s selling activities were focused and organised into
two customer segments namely Utility & Communications and New Business. The Utility &
Communications segment includes sales to companies involved in the broadband fiber roll out in
the United States. New Business includes Signage, Architecture Engineering and Construction
(AEC) and Geospatial.
Within the Utilities & Communications segment the Group sold and leased the IKE4 device and
corresponding annual subscription revenue. The Group also offered an end to end technical
solution to customers performing make ready engineering (MRE) projects. Revenue related to this
solution is reported on separately to management.
The segment reporting format reflects the Group’s management and internal reporting structure.
Contribution is after allocating cost of goods sold. Reporting of overheads and balance sheet
position is not undertaken at a level lower than the Group as a whole. Geographically, revenue is
substantially generated in the United States.
