Chairman's Statement
Review of the Year
Whilst the first nine months of the financial year were
extremely challenging, market conditions have seen some improvement
since the beginning of 2017. The number of drilling rigs operating
in North America has risen from approximately 420 in April 2016 to
the March 2017 level of approximately 840. However, global factors
continue to cause some instability in the oil price and accordingly
the Board's expectations for capital investment by customers in new
drilling equipment remain cautious.
Enteq has continued to develop its markets outside North
America, including the fulfillment of its first contract in Saudi
Arabia.
Post the financial year end, in May 2007, Enteq received a grant
from the Technology Strategy Board of Innovate UK related to the
Newton Fund: China - UK Research and Innovation Bridges Competition
2015. In conjunction with Imperial College, London and the Chinese
institute of Petroleum in Beijing, Enteq will be developing
technologies for optimal drilling of geothermal wells over the next
two years.
Whilst still maintaining a low-cost base, Enteq has continued to
invest in new product development. This has resulted in the recent
filing of two UK and two U.S. patent applications.
Employee numbers have further reduced from 21 at the end of
March 2016 to 19 at the end of March 2017. This number not only
enables the business to maintain key functions necessary for a
solid core business but also provides a base from which to react to
any market recovery.
At the AGM, held in September 2016, the previous Chairman, Neil
Warner, left the Board and the Company; his contribution is very
much appreciated. Raymond Garcia also stepped down from the Board
but remains as Chief Operating Officer. During a difficult time in
the industry all members of staff have made a significant
contribution to the control and discipline in the business; the
Board thanks them for their support, understanding and loyalty.
Prospects
World oil prices have recently been under-pinned by Russian /
Middle Eastern volume agreements which should result in more
favorable market conditions for oil and gas companies and their
service providers. In North America, through a combination of
stable oil prices and increased efficiencies, the shale drillers
are maintaining activities which will drive the need for further
equipment in due course.
Enteq continues to enhance its technology and make gains in
establishing new international customers. Tight cost management has
led to a strong cash position that give Enteq a platform from which
to develop in a potentially recovering market.
Iain Paterson
Chairman
Chief Executive's Operating and Strategic Review
Market Overview
Enteq supplies Measurement While Drilling (MWD) equipment to the
oil and gas industry world-wide to enable directional drilling.
Directional drilling is carried out by oilfield service
companies who either purchase equipment from third parties such as
Enteq or develop the equipment themselves. Measurement While
Drilling equipment is used on every rig which drills directional
wells.
Due to an uncertain oil price since the end of 2015, the
development of new oil fields and hence overall drilling activity
has reduced. A key indicator of activity is the number of drilling
rigs in operation, which is reported by Baker Hughes International.
The number of drilling rigs operating in the USA has risen from
approximately 420 in April 2016, to 840 in March 2017 and on to the
current levels in excess of 910, but is still well below previous
levels of 2,000 plus.
This rise of activity in USA is a sign that oil companies are
now finding that, at the more stable oil price (West Texas
Intermediate oil price has remained between $45 and $50 for the
last six months) and through increased efficiencies in drilling
activity, it is again economic to continue development of certain
oilfields.
The directional drilling market continues to be divided between
those 'major' service companies who are vertically integrated using
their own equipment, and the 'independents' who need to acquire
equipment, such as the Measurement While Drilling equipment
provided by Enteq, from third parties. In North America, the major
service companies have historically owned approximately 50% of the
market but are currently offering competitive solutions for
drilling which will have increased this share. The independents
continue to have excess capacity of equipment meaning their new
purchases remain slow. Enteq has, however, successfully offered
some 'update' options which have allowed some of the larger
customers to upgrade their equipment, assuring their loyalty to
Enteq remains as the market recovers.
Outside North America, where drilling projects by the National
and the larger International Oil Companies tend to be longer term,
activities have remained slow, and the lower revenue flows from oil
production have created tight cash flows throughout the market.
Enteq has maintained good relations in the international market
and continued to generate revenues in China, Russia, the Middle
East and India all of which have good longer term potential.
Notable is a new contract for Saudi Arabia which has now been
fulfilled and should lead to further opportunities.
Due to some consolidation in the market, and within competitors,
management believe that Enteq has improved its market share in a
potentially recovering market.
Competition
Some further consolidation has taken place amongst other
third-party suppliers of equipment, although some new providers
have also emerged. Enteq remains a strong and recognised
independent solution and technology provider of Measurement While
Drilling equipment.
Product development and introductions
Enteq has maintained its core disciplines within engineering and
software development. Further functionality, as requested by the
market, has been added to the Group's equipment offering. Two
patent applications, both in the UK and in USA have been completed.
The first application of the patents is part of a new product
development which will add incremental capability when
completed.
After the year-end, in May 2017, Enteq received a grant from the
Technology Strategy Board of Innovate UK related to the Newton
Fund: China - UK Research and Innovation Bridges Competition 2015.
In conjunction with Imperial College, London and the Chinese
institute of Petroleum in Beijing, Enteq will be developing
technologies for optimal drilling of geothermal wells over the next
two years.
Sales & Marketing
Regular contact is maintained with the customer base from the
Group's operational hub in Houston and by the Chief Operations
Officer in North America. International opportunities and sales are
generated from the UK office and by a representative in China.
Business development trips are made as and when required. Trade
shows have been attended, including the Middle East Oil Show, where
an exhibition booth was shared with the new Saudi Arabian
partner.
Future strategic direction
Enteq will maintain a sustainable small business suitable to
market conditions. The Group is well positioned for a recovering or
stabilised market. Technology development, both in-house and with
partners will continue to position the business with technical
differentiation. Customer relationships both in North America and
internationally remain strong. Enteq continues to believe in a
long-term strategy of consolidation of technologies and
distribution.
Conclusion
Enteq has maintained a sustainable business through difficult
market conditions. Core competencies remain, technical
differentiation is being improved and market share maintained. The
business is secure and ready to respond to growth opportunities
around the world and in North America when market conditions
allow.

============================= ========== ==========
The results for the year ended 31 March 2017 were significantly
impacted by the dramatic decline in oil price between June 2014 and
a recent low in February 2016. The price reduction of 69% (to
approximately $33 per barrel) led to the number of drilling rigs
operating in North America declining from 1,854 in June 2014 to a
low of 404 in May 2016, reflecting the lag between oil price and
rig count. Since May 2016 there has been recovery in the number of
active rigs with a rise of 435 to 839, as at March 2017. Enteq's
revenue is derived from both rigs being added to customers' fleets
and on-going replacement of equipment during rig operation. The
dramatic fall in the number of active (revenue generating) rigs up
to May 2016 and a lag between the increase in rigs through to March
2017 and the consequent increase in the market for Enteq's
products, has resulted in the 24% fall in worldwide revenue, to
$4.8m. International revenue (customers outside North America) was
$1.4m, which was a significant increase over the $0.6m in the
previous year. This international revenue was, primarily, from the
Group's first contract in Saudi Arabia.
The full year gross margin was 65%, the same as the previous
year. This reflected the continuing product mix of predominately
the higher margin lines (electronic components and rental).
Total overheads, at $3.6m, were down $1.1m (24%) on last year's
figure. This reduction can be split into $0.4m relating to staff
reductions (a further two posts being removed at the start of the
year, plus the impact of posts removed during the year ended 31
March 2016) and $0.7m relating to non-staff costs. This latter
figure covers all overheads areas such as travel, marketing,
maintenance, IT support, advisor and audit fees. In addition, there
was the impact of closing both the Austin and North Houston offices
during the previous year.
The combined depreciation and amortisation charge was
significantly down, due to the year to 31 March 2016 incurring an
element of accelerated depreciation of the rental fleet, plus items
of production equipment being fully depreciated during the year to
31 March 2017.
The "Other charges" included in the ongoing operating loss for
the year, primarily, relate to the non-cash charge associated with
the Performance Share Plan.
Statement of Financial Position
Enteq's assets and liabilities at the year-end were as
follows:
As at 31 March: 2017 2016
$million $million
Other intangible assets 0.6 0.3
Property, plant & equipment 2.9 2.9
Net working capital 4.9 6.1
Cash 15.3 15.1
----------------------------- ---------- ----------
Net assets 23.7 24.4
============================= ========== ==========
Capital & reserves 23.7 24.4
============================= ========== ==========
The "Other intangible assets" represent the value of the R&D
work, carried out by the engineering team, capitalised to date,
less the amortisation relating to the products fully commercialised
(primarily software releases).
The value of property, plant & equipment has remained
constant due the depreciation charge of $0.4m being balanced by the
increase in the cost of the rental fleet. $2.2m of the total
comprises the freehold land and buildings of the South Houston
facility.
The $1.2m decrease in net working capital is due to a reduction
in inventory ($0.8m) and an increase in trade creditors ($0.3m);
the increase in trade debtors ($0.6m) being balanced by an increase
in year-end accruals.

Opening cash balances 15.1 14.1
Foreign exchange movements - -
------------------------------ ------------ -----------
Closing cash balances 15.3 15.1
============================== ============ ===========
Due to the senior management's concentration on preserving cash
since the major reduction in oil prices, the closing cash balance
of $15.3m is higher than both the previous year end ($15.1m) and
that at 30 September 2016 ($15.2m).
Financial Capital Management
Enteq's financial position continues to be robust. Enteq had no
bank borrowings or other debt and had a closing cash position of
$15.3m as at 31 March 2017.
Enteq monitors its cash balances daily and operates under
treasury policies and procedures which are set by the Board.
The financial statements are presented in US dollars as the
Company's primary economic environment, in which it operates and
generates cash flows, is one of US dollars. Apart from its UK based
overhead costs, substantially all other transactions are transacted
in US dollars.
Enteq is subject to the foreign exchange rate fluctuations to
the extent that it holds non-US Dollar cash deposits. These GBP
denominated holdings are now approximately 6% of total cash
holdings, up from last year's 2% as USD1.0m was transferred to GBP
in early January 2017 to take advantage of the favorable exchange
rate at that date.
Annual Report and Accounts
The 2017 Annual Report and Accounts has today been sent to
shareholders and is available on the Company's website,

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The results for the year ended 31 March 2017 have been prepared
using the accounting policies and methods of computation consistent
with those used in the Group's annual report for the year ended 31
March 2016. The results have also been presented and prepared in a
form consistent with that which will be adopted in the Group's
annual report for the year ended 31 March 2017 and in accordance
with the recognition and measurement requirements of the
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the
Company's statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2017 and
the year ended 31 March 2016, but is derived from those accounts.
Statutory accounts for 2016 have been delivered to Companies House.
Those for the year ended 31 March 2017 will be delivered following
the Company's Annual General Meeting on 19 September 2017.
The financial information has been extracted from the Group's
Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2017. The auditors have
reported on these accounts; their reports were unqualified, did not
draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis without qualifying
their report and did not contain statements under s498(2) or (3)
Companies Act 2006. The Group intends to publish its 2017 Annual
Report and Accounts in June 2017.
2. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
For management purposes, the Group is currently organised into a
single business unit, the Drilling Tools
division, which is currently based solely in the USA.
The principal activities of the Drilling Tools division are the
design, manufacture and selling of specialised parts and products
for Directional Drilling and Measurement While Drilling operations
for use in the energy exploration and services sector of the Oil
and Gas industry.
At present, there is only one operating segment and the
information presented to the board is consistent with
the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement
of financial position. A key measurement used by the board is
Adjusted EBITDA. This reconciliation is included in note 3,
below.
The revenues, net assets and non-current assets of the Group can
be analysed by geographic location (post-consolidation adjustments)
as follows:
Revenues
31 March 31 March

Total Group non-current
assets 3,503 3,170
========== =====================
All of the Group's revenue arises from the sale and rental of
specialised parts and products for Directional Drilling and
Measurement While Drilling operations.
The Group had 4 customers that contributed in excess of 10% of
the Group's total sales for the year (2016: 3). These customers
contributed $1,222k, $1,030k, $853k and $513k. (2016: $1,826k,
$1,006k and $914k). No revenue relates to customers based in the UK
(2016: none).

There has been no deferred taxation recognised in these
financial statements due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing
of the recovery of these amounts. The total losses available to the
Group in the relevant tax jurisdictions are as follows: UK $2.6m
(tax value of $0.4m at 17%) and in the US $14.1m (tax value of
$4.2m at 30%) (2016: UK $3.1m; United States $11.5m). There were no
significant deferred tax liabilities.
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDS
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year of $1,185k (31
March 2016: loss of $4,741k) by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year of 60,351k (31 March 2016:
59,336k).
Adjusted earnings per share
Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the
earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders, excluding
exceptional items, amortisation of intangible assets and foreign
exchange profits or losses for the year of a loss of $1,055k (31
March 2016: loss of $2,125k), by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year of 60,351k (31 March 2016:
59,336k).
As the Group is loss making, any potential ordinary shares have
the effect of being anti-dilutive. Therefore, the diluted EPS is
the same as the basic EPS. As the year end share price is below the
weighted average option price of all the options issued, the
adjusted diluted EPS is the same as adjusted EPS.
The adjusted diluted earnings per share information are
considered to provide a fairer representation of the Group's
trading performance. A reconciliation between basic earnings and
adjusted earnings is shown below.

The main categories of Intangible Assets are as follows:
Developed technology:
This is technology which is currently commercialised and
embedded within the current product offering.
IPR&D technology:
This is technology which is in the final stages of field
testing, has demonstrable commercial value and is expected to be
launched within the next 12 months.
Brand names:
The value associated with the various trading names used within
the Group.
Customer relationships:
The value associated with the on-going trading relationships
with the key customers acquired.
Non-compete agreements:
The value associated with the agreements signed by the Vendors
of the acquired businesses not to compete in the markets of the
businesses acquired.
Goodwill and Impairment
The Group tests goodwill and other intangible assets annually
for impairment. The impairment test carried out on the balances as
at 31 March 2017 indicated that there was no impairment of the full
carrying value of both goodwill and intangibles assets.
There is deemed to be just one cash generating unit ("CGU")
within the Company. In previous years there were deemed to be two,
but from a financial & operational perspective both US
locations are now being run as one unit.
The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined from value in
use calculations. The key assumptions for the value in use
calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates
and expected changes to selling prices and direct costs during the
period. Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates
that reflect current market assessment of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the CGU. The growth rates are based on
management forecasts for the five years to March 2021. Cash flow
forecasts are prepared from the most recent financial plans
approved by the Board.
The forecasts assume annual growth rates between 2% and 30%
until 2021 and 3% thereafter in the long term. These long-term
growth rates do not exceed the long-term average growth rates for
the industry as a whole.
The pre-tax rate used to discount cash flow forecasts is 13.5%
(2016: 13.2%). Management have based this rate on the following
factors: a Risk Free Rate of 3.0%; a levered equity beta of 1.5; a
market risk premium of 5.5%; a small cap premium of 3.81% and an
implied cost of debt of 4.53%.
Intangible assets
The intangible assets acquired during the year represent their
fair value at the date of acquisition.
Amortisation
All categories of intangible assets, apart from the Goodwill and
the IPR&D technology, are being amortised over their respective
useful lives, on a straight-line basis. The remaining amortisation
period of the intangible assets is 22 months.
7. GOING CONCERN
After considering the current financial projections of the Group
and taking into account the cash needs of the business and
availability of funds, the Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the group has adequate resources to continue its operations
for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt
a "going concern" basis in preparing the Statement of Annual
Results.
