Operational Review
In the first half of 2017, both divisions made significant
operational progress as new products and technologies continued to
replace legacy products. The foundations that the Group laid during
2016 have begun to translate to sales, with the revenues of both
divisions increasing year-on-year as well as sequentially.
Total Group revenues in H1 2017 were $49.8m (H1 2016: $45.1m),
of which the Bio-Medical division accounted for 58% with the
contribution from the Networking and Cyber division being 42%.

Distribution
Sales increased by 17.2% and contributed approximately 69% of
the Bio-Medical division revenues, including organic growth of 10%.
The revenue contribution to the first half from the newly-acquired
Zer Laboratories Ltd ("Zer") was $1.1m. Gross margin in H1 2017
improved to 26.4% compared with 25.8% in H1 2016 as a result of
operational improvements in the distribution business in
Hungary.
The two new diagnostics laboratories in Romania, an analytics
lab in Timisoara and a genetic lab in Bucharest, which were opened
in 2016, commenced operation during the period. The Group uses
these labs to provide customers' products and diagnostic tests to
end customers thereby establishing a footprint in the end-customer
market.
In the first half of the year, the Group acquired the entire
issued share capital of Zer, which is the largest private
diagnostic laboratory in Israel for clinical tests, mainly
providing prenatal screening tests for Down's Syndrome, genetic
tests and additional tests performed during IVF and fertility
treatments, for a total consideration of NIS2.75m (c. GBP580,000)
payable in cash. BATM expects the acquisition to enable it to
capture a share of the growing market in non-invasive prenatal
tests (NIPT) in Israel and Europe, enhancing the activities of the
Group's new genetic lab in Bucharest.
Eco-Med (formerly Pathogenic Waste Treatment and
Sterilisation)
The Eco-Med unit accounted for 13% of the Bio-Medical division's
revenues in H1 2017 compared with 9% of revenues in H1 2016,
reflecting an increase of 57.5% in sales. This increase is
primarily due to successful implementation of the strategic
decision to transition from sales of control systems and products
for treating medical waste to new, larger solutions developed for
the biopharma and agri-business sectors. The unit continues to
focus on the treatment of biological waste, based on its unique
patented Integrated Shredder and Steriliser ("ISS") technology,
which it is leveraging to apply to industries where the solutions
have a higher value and greater market potential.
The unit achieved a significant improvement in gross margin to
18.6% (H1 2016: 13.1%) as a result of sales of higher margin
agri-waste solution projects. In addition, it received the highest
ever number of orders with a backlog as of period end of $4.4m,
most of which is expected to be recognised by the end of 2017 and
the remainder during 2018.
During the period the Group launched the world's first mobile
agri-waste treatment solution and was awarded a contract of $2.5m
for the delivery of a mobile unit, which was subsequently extended
by $1.1m, with 25% upfront payment, increasing the total value of
the contract to $3.6m.
The first large installation of the Group's new solution for
treating agricultural waste, that was installed last year at a
slaughterhouse of major poultry farming company, continued to
perform very successfully.
The Group also commenced sales of the new ISS 500, which has
been adapted for the disposal of medical waste in hospitals. The
product is receiving a lot of interest from hospitals because of
its automated reloading system, which reduces human exposure to
medical waste.
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics unit continued to make steady progress and sales
in H1 2017 represented 18% of Bio-Medical division revenues.
During the period, the production of reagents increased 8% over
H1 2016. The Group sold 268 instruments to multiple new and
existing customers compared with 325 in H1 2016 and 180 in H2
2016.
Good progress was made by the Group's joint venture company,
Ador, established in December 2015 with Gamida for Life, an
international group of companies focused on healthcare and life
sciences, as it remains on track in its preparations for the
production and marketing of a unique rapid-results sample-to-answer
molecular diagnostics system - that has already been granted
several patents in the US - and a selection of reagent kits. The
new instrument and reagents are expected to reach the market during
H2 2017.
Post period, the Group appointed Dr. David Perry MD as Chief
Executive Officer of Adaltis, whose previous experience includes VP
Global Clinical and Medical Affairs at Baxter Bioscience. The new
role was created within Adaltis as it begins to gear up to take
advantage of the advances within its molecular biology business
unit, as well as the growing in-vitro diagnostics field.
Networking and Cyber Division
H1 2017 H1 2016 H2 2016 FY 2016
-------------------- ---------- -------- ---------- ----------
Revenues $21.0m $19.1m $19.4m $38.5m
-------------------- ---------- -------- ---------- ----------
Blended gross
margin 37% 42% 39% 40%
-------------------- ---------- -------- ---------- ----------
Adjusted operating
profit (loss) $(0.4m) $0.0m $(2.2m) $(2.2m)
-------------------- ---------- -------- ---------- ----------
The Networking and Cyber division produced mixed results for the
first half of 2017. There was an increase of 10% in revenues to
$21.0m. However, gross profit margin decreased to 37% (H1 2016:
42%) due to the contribution to revenues from a large government
contract, which carries a lower gross margin, which resulted in an
adjusted operating loss for H1 2017 of $0.4m (H1 2016: $0.0m).
During the period, the Group was awarded a contract by Internet
Solutions Kenya, a telecoms service provider to public and private
organisations, to upgrade its network infrastructure to increase
bandwidth capacity (10G) and enable an expansion of its service
offering. The contract, which has a value of $2.8m, is to be
delivered over a two-year period with approximately 50% of the
revenues to be recognised in 2017 based on the installation
plan.
The Group started delivering on the cyber contract, which had
been delayed from H2 2016, as good progress was made by the
partners. Other key developments included a significant contract,
awarded last year by a government defence department, for an ICT
solution combined with several cyber elements, being increased
during the first half of 2017 to $5.2m. A significant portion is
planned to be supplied during H2 2017.
The Group also engaged in several POCs in multiple
countries.
The Group received increased demand for its SDN/NFV solutions
and it conducted several successful POCs worldwide. The Group
believes that some of these will translate to orders during H2
2017.
A Tier 1 cyber security customer launched its new security
systems that contain the Group's latest ATCA product 100GE card.
The new ATCA 100GE is gaining increasing momentum and interest from
various customers. In addition, the 100GE card is playing a key
role in the new aggregation platform, T-Metro 8100 - a
next-generation, high-density, standalone 100GE services
aggregation platform that is planned to be released in H2 2017.
Financial Review
Revenues in the first half of 2017 increased by 10% to $49.8m
(H1 2016: $45.1m), mainly due to an increase in sales in the
Eco-Med and Distribution units of the Bio-medical division.
The blended gross profit margin for the first half was 30.1% (H1
2016: 32.8%). This decrease is mostly due to a reduction in the
gross margin of the Networking and Cyber division as a result of
the contribution to revenues from a large government contract,
which carries a lower gross margin..
Sales and marketing expenses for the first half were $7.2m (H1
2016: $7.3m), representing 14.5% of revenues compared with 16.2% in
H1 2016.
General and administrative expenses were $5.2m (H1 2016: $4.7m).
The increase is mainly due to the effect of the consolidation of
the newly-acquired Zer Laboratories.
Research and development investment in the first half of 2017
increased to $4.0m (H1 2016: $3.4m), primarily as a result of the
increase in investments in new technologies in the Eco-Med unit and
investments in new software applications.
Net finance expense was $0.2m (H1 2016: $0.4m). The decrease is
mainly due to the positive effect of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations.
Net loss after tax attributable to equity holders of the parent
amounted to $2.6m (H1 2016: $0.9m loss), resulting in a basic loss
per share of 0.66c (H1 2016: 0.23c loss).
Adjusted operating loss amounted to $1.4m (H1 2016: $0.6m
loss).
The Group's balance sheet remains strong with effective
liquidity of $22.4m at 30 June 2017 compared with $27.6m at 31
December 2016 and $18.6m at 30 June 2016. Period-end cash is
comprised as follows: cash and deposits up to three months duration
of $13.2m and short-term cash deposits up to one year and held for
trading bonds of $9.2m. The decrease in cash balances is a result
of the investment in the subsidiary Zer Laboratories and investment
in the joint venture Ador as well as purchase of fixed assets.
As at 30 June 2017, inventory was $20.8m (31 December 2016:
$20.5m; 30 June 2016: $20.9m). Trade and other receivables was
$33.6m (31 December 2016: $28.1m; 30 June 2016: $28.1m), with the
increase mainly due to the growth in revenues in H1 2017.
Intangible assets and goodwill was $22.8m (31 December 2016
$20.6m; 30 June 2016: $20.2m). This increase compared with the
prior year was mostly due to the investment in Zer
Laboratories.
Property, plant and equipment and investment property increased
to $20.3m (31 December 2016: $17.7m; 30 June 2016: $23.2m). The
increase is due to leasehold improvement in two new buildings.
The balance of trade and other payables was $31.9m (31 December
2016: $27.1m; 30 June 2016: $23.4m). The increase is due to an
increase in the out-sourcing services in the Networking and Cyber
division and in the Eco-Med unit.
Cash outflow from operations was $0.4m for H1 2017, compared
with an inflow of $0.1m for the prior period, due to the operating
loss incurred in the period.
Outlook
The Group continues to make further inroads in the Bio-Medical
division, gaining new customers and increasing sales to current
ones. Specifically, the Eco-Med unit is receiving a lot of interest
in its innovative agri-waste solutions. In the second half of the
year it is on track to deliver the mobile unit for agri-waste
treatment as well as the delivery of the contract for the bovine
slaughterhouse facility. In the second half, the Diagnostics unit
will also experience increased sales of reagents and machines
compared with H1 2017.
In the Networking and Cyber division, the Cyber unit continues
to experience increased interest from government agencies across
the globe. In H2 2017, the unit expects to deliver a significant
portion of the Cyber contract that was first won in 2016 and
expanded to incorporate other elements in H1 2017. The Group also
expects to report on the success of POC trials currently taking
place. In the Networking unit, the Group continues to progress with
the SDN/NFV solutions POC trials and expects to announce follow-on
orders during H2 2017.
As a result of this, the Group has an increased backlog compared
with this time last year and, consequently, expects to report
growth for full year 2017, in line with market expectations.
