About Falanx
Falanx Group Limited is a cyber security services provider,
offering enterprise-class offensive and defensive security
solutions to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). For further
information visit: www.falanxcyber.com
Our strapline is Attack. Defend. Protect.
Attack
These are our Offensive Services and are primarily centred
around Penetration Testing / ethical hacking ("PT"). Our
comprehensive portfolio of PT services covers a wide range of
skills and techniques which we use to emulate potential attackers
looking for vulnerabilities in our client's infrastructure.
Defend
Our Defensive (managed) services are provided by our Security
Operations Centre ("SOC") based in Reading. The SOC operates a
24/7/365 service, continually watching our customers' IT estates,
looking for unusual activity which may be a sign of a cyber-attack
or data theft.
Protect
Through both our Offensive and Defensive services, we help our
customers to protect themselves against cyber-attacks.
Business Review
In the Period to September 2022, orders for our core services
were GBP1.89m (2021: GBP1.62m), representing growth of 17%. The
majority of this growth came from increased sales of our defensive
services, all of which generate Monthly Recurring Revenues ("MRR").
As outlined previously, the growth of our MRR revenues is key to
our strategy. Total orders for these MRR services grew by over 100%
in the Period.
During the Period, we exited a legacy consulting contract (which
had the potential to become onerous) at an agreed break point and
the growth in MRR sales has more than offset this revenue reduction
with higher quality revenues and better long-term margins. Overall,
across our core services, we have transacted with a greater number
of customers than in the previous year.
Our target market is primarily SMEs and we focus our MRR service
offerings on organisations which employ between 50 and 1,000 staff.
Cyber security threats are ever growing, and against an
increasingly difficult social and economic backdrop, criminal
activity is increasing. Cyber security insurance providers are now
significantly increasing premiums as well as applying increased
conditionality, which can include mandating use of cyber security
services, as a condition of cover. The need to protect a business'
assets against cyber-attacks is even more imperative now than ever
before.
Consequently, we have evolved our service offerings to best
address our target market and protect those SMEs from cyber-attack,
whatever their insured status may be. To best address this, we have
progressively introduced additional defensive MRR services with
lower entry price points in addition to our existing Managed
Detection and Response (MDR) and Managed-Endpoint Detection and
Response (M-EDR) services (both of which support multiple leading
enterprise-grade security vendor solutions). Retained Incident
Response ("R-IR") and Continuous Vulnerability Scanning ("CVS")
were introduced in the summer of 2022, and we are seeing that
customers are increasingly understanding the need for both services
- a rapid response service in the case of a breach (R-IR) and
continually scanning networks with CVS throughout the year as well
as the Pen Tests run annually. Consequently, we have a growing
pipeline of opportunities in these service lines since their launch
and this has already translated into sales to six customers - most
of which are existing Pen Test customers. As customers mature and
evolve, full MDR will become more relevant to their
organisation.
In addition, we have expanded our network of channel partners in
the last few months. Some of these are starting to generate
significant interest which has already translated into sales. We
are focusing on a limited number of Tier 1 channel partners where
we invest time and resources and are selecting them based on their
experience, reputation, and their addressable market.
Post Period Update
Following on from the increase in MRR orders in the six months
to 30 September 2022, combined with our rapidly growing pipeline of
MRR opportunities, we have restructured our sales team to maximise
our ability to achieve our MRR sales targets in the coming months.
The sales team is now a single organisation split into two focused
sales groups - PenTest (Attack) and MRR (Defend). They target new
customers as well as cross selling into our base which is now has
over 400 clients. This allows increased dedicated and experienced
resources to focus on the more complex (and arguably more valuable)
sales of MRR services, whilst allowing the penetration testing
services team to focus on their own strong pipeline of business
which typically has a shorter lead time. Early results are
promising, with aggregate orders for core services across October
and November 2022 growing by 44% compared to the same period in
2021.
Outside of our pipeline, we have several large-scale
opportunities advancing with major global technology providers
(both new and existing relationships) to partner as part of their
Cyber go-to-market plans. As ever these opportunities could be
transformational for Falanx, and we look forward to updating on
these as they progress.
Financial Performance
Total revenues were GBP1.8m (2021: GBP1.8m). Within this,
monthly recurring revenues from monitoring services increased by
29% to GBP0.49m (2021: GBP0.38m) offsetting a small reduction in
professional services, the majority of which came from our exit
from a non-core legacy contract referenced previously.
Gross margin decreased to 36% (2021: 40%) due to expansion costs
and some price increases. Rectification actions were carried out,
and in recent months gross margins have recovered back to ahead of
FY22 levels. The Group expects to be able to manage these cost
factors to protect gross margins going forward. Underlying
operating costs were GBP1.76m (2021: GBP1.10m) with the increase
arising from investment in sales and marketing expansion.
Consequently, the adjusted EBITDA loss was GBP1.1m (2021:
GBP0.39m).
Depreciation and amortisation charges were GBP0.22m (2021:
GBP0.25m), with the vast majority being the routine amortisation
(straight line basis over a 10 year period) of the customer base
acquired in March 2018, as well as property lease costs related to
IFRS16.
Interest payable was GBP0.17m (2021: GBP0.04m) and was mainly
comprised of interest (including amortised costs) on the Boost loan
of GBP2.5m drawn down in October 2021 as the IFRS 16 element lease
payments for the Reading office.
The loss from continuing operations was to GBP1.48m (2021:
GBP0.71m). The loss per share (both on a basic and fully diluted
basis) from continuing operations was 0.28p (2021: 0.13p).
Consolidated Statements of Financial Position & Cash
Flow
Intangible assets were GBP3.1m (2021: GBP3.5m) and principally
comprised of the acquired customers base and associated goodwill.
The GBP0.13m goodwill arising from the acquisition of Securestorm
Limited was fully impaired in the year ended 31 March 2022.
Trade and other debtors stood at GBP1.21m (2021: GBP0.93m) with
the increase being due to the final GBP0.345m of the cash
consideration from the disposal of Assynt in October 2021 (which
was held in escrow for 12 months) until it was paid in early
October 2022. Cash receipts were strong, with no incidence of bad
debt being recorded, and debtor days stood at 40 (2021: 42). Trade
and other payables reduced to GBP0.62m (2021: GBP1.29m) due to the
repayment of HMRC COVID-19 backlog which took place in H2 FY22.
Deferred incomes increased to GBP0.53m (2021: GBP0.39m) due to
greater business volumes and overall, the Group had a normal
working capital profile at 30 September 2022.
Net cash outflow from operations was GBP1.30m (2021: GBP0.88m)
and included the final GBP0.07m payment of the HMRC COVID-19
backlog. Cash balances as at 30 September 2022 were GBP1.96m (2021:
GBP0.51m) and overall shareholders' funds were GBP2.87m (2021:
GBP2.0m).
Events after the reporting Period
On 7 October 2022 the final GBP0.35 million of the Assynt
disposal cash consideration held escrow account against was
released to the Group.

FALANX GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIODED 30
SEPTEMBER 2022
1. General information
Falanx Group Limited (the "Company" or "Falanx") and its
subsidiaries (together the "Group") operate in the cyber security
services market. The Company is a public limited company which is
listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange and is
incorporated and domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. The
address of its registered office is PO Box 173, Kingston Chambers,
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The UK registered
office The Blade, Abbey Square, Reading, RG1 3BE.
2. Basis of preparation
These interim statements have been prepared on a basis
consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
They do not contain all the information required for full financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31
March 2022. These interim financial statements do not constitute
statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act.
The interim financial information has not been reviewed nor
audited by the auditors. The interim financial information was
approved by the Board of Directors on 7 December 2022. The
information for the year ended 31 March 2022 is extracted from the
statutory financial statements for that year which have been
reported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to the Registrar
of Companies. The audit report was unqualified.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim
financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in
its consolidated financial statements for the year ended and as at
31 March 2022. The interim report is the responsibility of, and has
been, approved by the Directors. The Directors are responsible for
preparing the interim financial statements in accordance with the
AIM rules for Companies.
Going Concern
These interim results have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which notwithstanding the loss incurred for the six-month
period to 30 September 2022.
The Group made an adjusted EBITDA loss (which most closely
correlates its cash performance over time) from continuing
operations in six months to 30 September 2022 of GBP1.1 m (2021:
GBP0.4m). This was due to the planned significant investment in
sales and marketing expansion which has consequently built a strong
pipeline of prospective business, and which is now beginning to
convert into contract wins of monitoring contracts with their
predictable recurring revenue and cash profiles. This provides the
board with further confidence in its projections.
Cash balances on 30 September stood at GBP1.95m (2021: GBP0.51m)
and these are estimated by the Board as sufficient to achieve break
even and cash generation on its organic plans. The Group received
the final GBP0.345m of cash consideration in early October 2022,
which has been held in escrow since the disposal of Assynt in
October 2021. The Group has a normal working capital position and
furthermore HMRC are fully in terms and are being paid on the usual
periodic basis.
GBP 1.5m of the cash balance is reserved for use on acquisitions
and investments, but under the loan agreement, this can be used for
other reasonable business purposes, with BOOST&Co's consent.
The Group is focused on organic growth as opposed to acquisitive
growth, and therefore believes that these funds can be better
deployed to support this strategy. As part of its routine detailed
forecasting processes (which includes stress testing), it is
possible that the Group may need to use some of these funds to
support continued investment in growth. All tests show that the
Group can move into profitability within its existing resources,
whilst maintaining a normal working capital profile and repayment
schedule.
Should the Group significantly under achieve against its revenue
and growth targets, the Board routinely prepares contingency plans
to deal with lower performance and any ensuing shortfall in working
capital. These typically entail cost reductions mainly around
overheads and as well as in discretionary expansion expenditure.
Other measures could involve the disposal of assets. Furthermore,
the Group could seek, as in previous years, the support of
investors to raise additional debt or equity. Based upon the above,
the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate working capital for the twelve months following the date
of signing these interim results. For this reason, they continue to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing these interim
results.
In accordance with IFRS 5 'Non-current assets held for sale and
discontinued operations', the net results of Assynt Group Limited
and subsidiaries ("Assynt") which was disposed of on 6 October 2021
are presented within discontinued operations in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income and the assets and liabilities of
these operations are presented separately on the consolidated
statement of financial position.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial information in accordance with
generally accepted accounting practice, in the case of the Group
being IFRS as adopted by the European Union, requires the Directors
to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amount of
assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures
made in the financial statements. Such estimates and judgements
must be continually evaluated based on historical experience and
other factors, including expectations of future events. The
significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's
accounting policies were the same as those applied in the last
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
4. Segmental reporting
The Directors consider that the Group's internal financial
reporting is organised along product and service lines and,
therefore, segmental information has been presented about business
segments. The segmental analysis of the Group's business was
derived from its principal activities as set out below. The
information below also comprises the disclosures required by IFRS 8
in respect of products and services as the Directors consider that
the products and services sold by the disclosed segments are
essentially similar and, therefore, no additional disclosure in
respect of products and services is required. The other segment
below and overleaf is made up of the parent company's
administrative operation.
