F in a nc i a l s umm a r y Rakon recorded revenue of NZ$72.2 million for the first half of the 2010 financial year. This was up 20% on the second half of the last financial year, but down 9% on the same period last year. EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) was a NZ$2.9 million loss and a net loss after tax of NZ$6.2 million including equity accounted profits from Rakon’s investments in China and India, was recorded. These results were slightly ahead of guidance given at the time of Rakon’s equity raising in September but down on both the prior six month period and the same period in the prior year. In spite of the weak earnings, strong management of working capital delivered a positive operating cash flow of NZ$3.7 million. Revenue for the New Zealand business from the first half was down 20% on the same period last year, but up 30% when compared with the second half of last year, highlighting the return in consumer demand and momentum to the business which continued to gather steadily throughout the period. Whilst margins have narrowed, the specification and quality of our product has Rakon well positioned for the projected substantial growth of consumer GPS devices. Revenue for the UK business for the first half was well up, increasing 17% compared with the same period last year and 10% when compared to the second half of the prior year. Growth was broadly spread but most significantly from the telecommunications applications. Revenue from Rakon’s OCXO business which is served by its French facility and its joint venture facility in India were initially lower than forecast. However demand increased steadily throughout the first half of the year, driving revenue above the same period in the prior year and equal to the second half of the prior year. The business is well placed to continue improving due to an expected increase in business with leading telecommunications companies. The rapid appreciation in the NZ$ against the US$ and GBP also had a material impact in the first half results for 2010. This movement caused an FX loss on foreign currency denominated receivables, which was partially offset by hedge gains from forward exchange contracts. As a result for the first half of the current year Rakon incurred a FX loss of NZ$4.2 million against a gain of NZ$4.2 million, for the first half of the prior year. Rakon’s Balance Sheet remains strong, the recent equity raising which was completed in three tranches over September and October means Rakon has substantial cash reserves to fund its growth plans over the coming years.
