About Immotion Group
Immotion Group, co-founded by Martin Higginson and David Marks
in 2017, generates revenues through the delivery to consumers of
high quality "state of the art" VR experiences, combined with
cutting-edge motion platforms at affordable price points through a
range of channels:
-- Concession partners - currently installed at a range of
outlets including Merlin Entertainments' LEGOLAND(R) Discovery
Centres in Boston, USA and Manchester, UK and Genting Resorts World
in Birmingham - this channel provides an opportunity for its
partners to earn ancillary revenues, as well as providing an
exciting additional attraction to their facilities
-- Owned and franchised VR experience centres, trading as
ImmotionVR, located in high footfall retail and leisure malls
-- Sales - sale of VR Motion Platforms to leisure and
entertainment operators to provide the operator with the
opportunity to drive substantial ancillary revenues
Chief Executive's Statement
The period under review culminated in our shares being
successfully admitted to trading on AIM, in July 2018 (post period
end), raising GBP5.75 million (before expenses) by way of a
significantly oversubscribed placing of new shares. The IPO has
provided us with the funds required to rapidly scale our business
in the coming months.
The 'Out of Home' VR experience market is forecast to grow
eight-fold to $8 billion by 2022*, and Immotion Group has placed
itself at the centre of what has been described as the "rising
tide" of interest in VR.
Immotion Group is focused on becoming a leading participant in
the 'Out of Home' VR experience market and we believe that the VR
experiences we have developed will allow us to achieve this.
Working closely with our Chinese motion platform manufacturer,
Beijing LEKE VR Technology Co., Ltd ("Leke VR"), we have taken the
basic VR motion platforms that they develop and have enhanced them
with software and hardware upgrades, including our proprietary
Content Management System, to deliver a truly differentiated
offering. This combined solution gives Immotion Group the ability
to offer partners a compelling ancillary revenue opportunity
through exciting VR experiences.
We have exclusive distribution rights for Leke VR's motion
platforms in the UK, Europe and the USA and Immotion Group has
identified three routes to market:
-- Concession partners, enabling Immotion Group and its partners
to earn revenues, as well as providing an exciting additional
attraction to its partner's facilities;
-- Owned and franchised VR experience centres, trading as
ImmotionVR, located in high footfall shopping and leisure
destinations; and
-- Sales of VR Motion Platforms to leisure and entertainment
operators, providing the opportunity for the operator to drive
substantial ancillary revenues.
Our recently updated agreement with Leke VR, announced in
September 2018, underpins our belief that there is strong demand
for premium content. We have agreed to supply content to Leke VR's
installed base of machines (currently 1m "plays" per month) which
will help them to differentiate themselves in the non-USA and
European markets. Leke VR currently supplies VR Motion Platforms to
China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Saudi, and Croatia and
has ambitious plans to open more VR parks throughout Asia and to
grow its distribution network significantly. We are currently
working on a number of joint initiatives for attractions and VR
motion platforms which will be designed by our UK teams in
collaboration with Leke VR. These plans provide Immotion Group with
the opportunity to build significant additional revenue from its
content.
Our strategy to develop VR experiences was enabled through the
acquisition of both Studio Liddell, our CGI studio in Manchester,
and C2K, the Los Angeles based, live-action studio. These
acquisitions were completed just before we entered the current
period (in December 2017) and both companies immediately set to
work producing or publishing a range of VR experiences specifically
for motion platforms. These include the space action ride, 'Delta
Zero' as well as a number of proprietary experiences, including a
mixed live action and CGI underwater experience, 'Legend of Lusca'.
Variations of old favourites, such as our VR Snow Rollercoaster;
along with "seasonal" VR experiences for both Halloween and
Christmas are also coming soon.
The interim results reflect the Company's legacy operations. In
the UK, we have been finishing a small number of prestigious larger
commercial projects, but have not sought to win new commercial
business in 2018. We will continue with selected commercial client
business in the USA until VR activities grow in that market.
However, we intend to exit our Japanese branch. Our first owned and
operated ImmotionVR experience centre in Bristol, UK, which opened
in mid-December 2017, traded throughout the period. This experience
centre, together with Resorts World Birmingham which opened at the
end of March 2018, and our first LEGOLAND(R) Discovery Centre
Concession installation, which opened in May 2018, provided us with
our inaugural VR revenues of GBP137,000. Our ImmotionVR experience
centre in the Arndale Centre, Manchester, UK opened just one month
ahead of listing on 19 June 2018, so contributed to these H1
figures for only 12 days.
With several locations contributing for the whole of H2 2018,
along with new sites (both ImmotionVR and Concessions) and machine
sales, we expect very substantial growth in our VR revenues in H2
2018.
Outlook
Our decision to invest heavily in both a proprietary Content
Management System and in VR experience origination during the
period has started to deliver rewards. The differentiated offering
that we have created is now allowing us to win significant
long-term revenue generating relationships. Indeed, having shown
our VR experiences to a range of potential partners, we are now
progressing a number of these to contract status. These are
predominantly with UK based leisure players but we are also in
final stage negotiations with a Spanish distributor which we hope
to announce imminently.
We are pleased with our progress to date and are now looking to
accelerate the growth of our installed base. We believe we can
scale the business rapidly using both our owned, franchised and
Concession models.
Our future pipeline is looking strong, and we are making
significant headway in terms of our discussions with landlords and
leisure operators alike. Regarding Concession partners, the revenue
share model we have adopted allows us to expedite the
decision-making process and benefits our company by providing us
with immediate exposure to revenue. Plus, the relatively low price
point of our experiences means that consumer uptake of our
Concession partners' installations is strong, providing them with
substantial ancillary revenues immediately, therefore positioning
us a valuable partner of choice.
We are accelerating our efforts in the USA, and to that end, we
have hired a sales director, a retail operations manager and rented
a warehouse. We will shortly open two ImmotionVR experience centres
in Los Angeles, which will give us a showcase as we begin to
approach potential Concession partners.
All this gives me confidence that the year ahead will be
characterised by growth and expansion. Comprised of experienced
media and leisure entrepreneurs and award-winning content creators,
I believe that our management team are well placed to overcome the
challenges and exploit the opportunities which we will face as we
seek to carve out a leading position in this exciting and rapidly
evolving space.
The solid progress made so far in the 'out of home' VR
marketplace has given the Board confidence in both our strategy and
business model, and we believe that Immotion Group is well
positioned to take advantage of the "rising tide" of interest in
VR.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome and thank the
investors who participated in our IPO, and also thank our advisers
for their support.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
for the six months ended 30 June 2018
1. Corporate information
The interim consolidated financial statements of the group for
the period ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue in
accordance with a resolution of the directors on 25 September 2018.
Immotion Group Plc ("the company") is a Public Limited Company
listed on AIM, incorporated in England and Wales. The interim
consolidated financial statements do not comprise statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act
2006.
2. Statement of Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of Preparation
The entities consolidated in the half year financial statements
of the company for the six months to 30 June 2018 comprise the
company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the
group").
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all
the information and disclosures required in the annual financial
statements.
The directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the
consolidated interim financial statements, it is appropriate to
adopt a going concern basis of accounting and in accordance with
the recognition and measurement principles of International
Financial Reporting Standards adopted for use in the European Union
("IFRS").
2.2 Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
the financial statements are set out below. The policies have been
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise
stated.
The interim results announcement has been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"),
International Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the
European Union ("IFRSs") and with those parts of the Companies Act
2006 applicable to companies preparing their accounts under IFRSs.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention.
The preparation of these consolidated half year financial
statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.
Actual results may differ from these estimates in preparing these
consolidated half year financial statements.
The proceeds received on issue of the Group's convertible loan
are allocated into their liability and equity components and
presented separately in the Balance Sheet. The amount initially
attributed to the debt component equals the discounted cash flows
using a market rate of interest that would be payable on a similar
debt instrument that did not include an option to convert. The
difference between the net proceeds of the convertible loan and the
amount allocated to the debt component is credited direct to equity
and is not subsequently remeasured. On conversion, the debt and
equity elements are credited to share capital and share premium as
appropriate.
Standards and amendments and interpretations to published
standards not yet effective
Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to
existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the
group's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018 or
later periods and which the group has decided not to adopt early
are:
IFRS 16 Leases (effective for accounting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2019)
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
Amendments to IAS 2 Income Taxes (effective for accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
Amendments to IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (effective for accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
The impact that the implementation of the above standards will
have on the financial statements is currently being assessed.
