2023 HIGHLIGHTS
  • ID4 revenue is still insufficient to support a public company cost base. Management are working hard to convert a promising pipeline of opportunities
  • Includes £49K severance cost of former CEO
  • Includes £180K of non-recurring non-cash merger accounting adjustments
  • Reverse Take Over (RTO) target of suitable quality not yet identified
  • Board to expand acquisition search to include FinTech companies

 

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

 

 

The Board are frustrated and disappointed by management’s inability to accelerate growth of the Company. 2023 did not produce the revenue growth that management had targeted, and the Board is disappointed that it has, to date, failed to identify an RTO of sufficient quality to justify a transaction.

The Company’s accounts also include a total of £228K non-recurring costs, made up £49K of one-off severance costs, as well as £180K of non-cash merger accounting adjustments to intangible assets.

The Board will redouble its efforts to identify and execute a Reverse Take Over transaction, while commensurately cutting costs further. In parallel, the Board will expand its transaction search, to include other FinTech companies.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

OPERATIONAL RISKS

The directors recognise that commercial activities invariably involve an element of risk. A number of the risks to which the business is exposed, such as the condition of the UK and Swiss domestic economies in relation to asset management and investment in systems, are beyond the Company’s influence. However, such risk areas are monitored and appropriate mitigating action, such as reviewing the substance and timing of the Company’s operational plans, is taken wherever practicable in response to significant changes. The directors consider the risk areas the Company is exposed to in the light of prevailing economic conditions and the risk areas set out in this section are subject to review.

In relation to asset management, the Company’s approach to risk reflects the Company’s granular business model and position in the market and involves the expertise of its directors, management and third-party advisers. Operational progress and key investment and disposal decisions are considered in regular management team meetings as well as being subject to informal peer review.

Higher level risks and financial exposures are subject to constant monitoring. Major investment and disposal decisions are subject to review by the directors in accordance with a protocol set by the Board.

The Company is dependent upon the Directors, and in particular, Mr C. Duncan Soukup, who serves as the Chairman, to identify potential acquisition opportunities and to execute any acquisition. The unexpected loss of the services of Mr Soukup or the other Directors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to identify potential acquisition opportunities and to execute an acquisition.

The Company may invest in or acquire unquoted companies, joint ventures or projects which, amongst other things, may be leveraged, have limited operating histories, have limited financial resources or may require addition
