Trakm8 solutions can impact over 65% of operational costs of a typical commercial fleet. CREATING ALGORITHMS TO PREDICT FUTURE EVENTS Over 3 billion miles of data collected each year is analysed to help our Insurance customers calculate risk more accurately, and provide our other customers with preventative maintenance for their fleets. Trakm8 uses big data algorithms derived from automotive vehicles to provide its wide customer base with market leading insights on how to promote efficiency and safety when driving. Solutions The Group owns almost all of the intellectual property (‘IP’) used in its solutions. The solutions have been developed for a variety of markets, most notably being Insurance, Fleet Management and Automotive. The developments of the 6th generation of the software (‘SWIFT’) have continued, as well as the development of the next generation user interface and mobile apps. The Group has invested heavily into its First Notification of Loss application, which has received a positive take up from Insurance customers. This application enables Insurers to be alerted immediately of any incident the vehicle may encounter that results in a collision. The G-Force data, coupled with speed and location, will give the Insurer near real time information regarding the probable severity of the incident. Trakm8 believe they provide the most comprehensive range of Fleet Management solutions available in the market which has been further strengthened this year by the acquisition of the trade and assets of DCS Systems Limited (‘DCS’) and the acquisition of Route Monkey Holdings Limited (‘RML’). This has enabled the Group to offer a wide range of services to its customers, which includes route optimisation, electronic proof of delivery features, and soon a camera and telematics integrated device, due for launch later this year. 3 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:AT A GLANCE CONTINUED Products The majority of our design and development of our hardware is carried out in house with the demand for Trakm8 units from other Telematics Service Providers (‘TSPs’) and Integrators remaining strong. The year 2015/16 has seen a record number of units made for Solution sales, in turn driving down the costs associated with production. The replacement of all older generation Trakm8 products has now been completed which means all of the Group’s telematics devices being made in house at the manufacturing plant in Coleshill. This resulted in the Group being awarded a ‘Made in Britain’ accreditation in May 2015. This year, the product sector includes camera sales from the acquired DCS business, where a wide range of ‘dash cams’ are sold through a variety of well-established retailers such as Halfords online. There have also been significant orders received for the cameras this last year from customers including EuroCarParts and TNT. The HD-2 is also part of Volvo’s approved list of accessories, with cameras promoted in many UK showrooms. 2016 saw the launch of the next generation of this product, the RoadHawk HD-2 which encompasses market-leading high-definition technology, image stabilisation and compatibility with the largest available memory card, allowing up to 64 hours of video recording at full high definition. Research and Development The Group prides itself in owning almost all of its IP, and this is derived from the heavy investment into improving current products and developing the next generation of new ones. The Group has invested in Engineers, with a 44% increase since last year in our research & development teams. The investment into in-house Engineering along with the in-house manufacturing of telematics devices means the Group is able to work more efficiently through the development chain than many competitors. The Group still continues to have the smallest self-install telematics device on the market, where there is a team of Engineers already developing the next generation of product. The wider T10 family will soon include units with 4G streaming capabilities, set to be launched at the end of this year. Investment has also been made into expanding the Advanced Engineering team to include dedicated resource looking at future technologies to integrate into the Trakm8 offering. This aims not only to develop current products, but to expand what the Group can offer to its customers. KEY STRENGTHS Ownership of all Intellectual Property By owning the IP in almost all of its solutions, Trakm8 can both develop new variants to suit customers much faster than competitors are able to, as well as make alterations to its supplied services if necessary. Extensive Integration The Group can integrate with 3rd party systems to offer an attractive proposition to clients who want to continue utilising their own established bespoke systems. This ensures the Group becomes a key partner to a number of suppliers. First Class Insights Over three billion miles of data collected annually allows the Group to develop leading insights into driver profiling and preventative maintenance. This is the driving force behind customers achieving optimum efficiency either through the calculation of risk or the optimised efficiency of running a fleet. Trakm8 provides these insights in easy to digest formats to avoid ‘data overload’ and give the user driver behaviour improvement coaching. Trakm8's Crash solution can be used by Insurers to detect customer incidents and enable prompt and efficient claims management. 4 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Page Title at start:Content Section at start:TRAKM8 USES BIG DATA ALGORITHMS DERIVED FROM AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES TO PROVIDE ITS WIDE CUSTOMER BASE WITH MARKET LEADING INSIGHTS ON HOW TO PROMOTE EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY WHEN DRIVING.

Overall Market Research from Berg Insight suggests that both the Fleet Management and Insurance markets are at the beginning of growth periods that will last for several years. The number of Fleet Management systems in use in Europe is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 15.1% from 4.4 million units at the end of 2014 to 8.9 million units by 20191. In Europe, the UK has the second largest insurance telematics market (after Italy) and the forecast annual compound growth rate is due to meet 42.4% 2, increasing the amount of policies from 4.8 million at the end of 2014 to 28.1 million at the end of 2019. 1 Market research provided by Berg Insight.

KEY MARKET DRIVERS For Fleet Management • Fuel prices • Economic climate • Growing number of commercial vehicle sales • Competition to improve efficiency • Increase in electric vehicles For Insurance • Driver risk scoring • Usage reports • First notification of loss • Vehicle health • Roadside recovery benefits Trends The rapid growth in the Fleet Management market is underpinned by the general quick return of investment of using telematics within company fleets1. There is a strong continuing focus on cost efficiency and environmental issues that by using a telematics system such as Trakm8’s, provides customers with typically up to 20% savings on fuel bills overnight. Trakm8 Fleet propositions address costs of fuel through driver behaviour change, optimisation, insurance, accident claims and vehicle maintenance. These costs typically amount to circa 65% of the costs of running a Fleet. Whilst the insurance market is currently dominated by hardwired black boxes, the cost advantages associated with the Group’s self-install device are not ignored by the major insurance companies such as Direct Line and Marmalade, and the market expects to see significant growth in this area, as well as the use of smartphones in driver profiling. There has been special mention in recent research to the hybrid solution that uses a self-install device for the collection of data, which is tethered to a mobile phone for the transfer of data1 something that the Group has been involved with in North America. There has been a noticeable uptake in the use of on-board forward facing cameras acting as witnesses for commercial and domestic drivers alike. This is widely seen as an expanding market, and Trakm8 are well equipped to meet demand with the RoadHawk dash-cam business it acquired through the purchase of assets and trade of DCS. The next generation of this technology will see the integration of the camera with a telematics device. 1 Market research provided by Berg Insight. Insurance Telematics in North America, further info available on request. Operational Review The total number of vehicles reporting to our servers increased by 48% to 151,000.

This has been a rewarding year for the Group with revenues up by 44% to £25.65m and adjusted operating profit up by 109% to £3.92m despite a significant increase in overhead costs as we invested as planned in the future growth of the business. Our profit before tax increased to £3.00m (2015: £1.70m). Our sales of new Fleet Management solutions and insurance products have culminated in growth in all areas, and provide us with a solid base of recurring revenues from which we can continue to expand. Furthermore the range and breadth of the data we are now able to provide gives us an overwhelming proposition for all the business sectors we touch. The revenue growth of 44% was made up of organic growth of 28% with the addition of first-time contributions from the acquisitions we made during the year. Orders received are also up by 29% like for like. Trakm8’s business model is strongly cash generative now that it is a profitable business and given the robust core of recurring revenues, although this tends to be substantially skewed to the second half due to the timing of contract renewals. This year we have reported cash generation from operating activities of £4.45m (2015: £1.19m), with significantly improved free cash-flow conversion*, after capex and capitalised development costs, of 51% (2015: -1%). The improved cash conversion is expected to continue as revenues continue to increase and development spending as a percentage of revenues reduces. Acquisitions During the financial year we completed 2 acquisitions. We acquired the trade and assets of DCS in June 2015 giving us vital knowledge and experience of digital camera systems and included the Dogcam, RoadHawk and Lawmate brands. The purchase consideration was £3.28m. In December 2015 we acquired the RML which provides routing and scheduling optimisation solutions. The purchase consideration was for a value of £5.04m, together with a deferred consideration of up to a £2.00m maximum. However, despite an earnings enhancing performance and encouraging prospects, it is unlikely that RML will achieve its target to trigger the payment of the deferred consideration (which has therefore not been provided for). These 2 acquisitions complement our vehicle telematics solutions and are enabling us to develop the more integrated solutions that our customers are demanding, providing richer and more refined data. The integration of both of these acquisitions is on track and they have been earnings enhancing and cash generative since their acquisition dates. Solutions Solutions sales are the core of our telematics offerings and comprise revenues from customers where they pay for service fees in addition to the cost of the hardware, installation and other bespoke services. Sales increased by 57% to £17.21m (2015: £10.98m) and more importantly within this growth our recurring revenues grew by 49% to £8.31m (2015: £5.58m). Growing these service revenues is a key focus as it provides increasing confidence and predictability to future periods. In total we had 151,000 units (2015: 102,000) reporting to our servers at the year end. Our solutions’ sales cover both the Fleet Management and Insurance market sectors. The total Fleet Management units only increased marginally over the year to 58,522 (2015: 57,763) due to the loss of circa 5,000 units from our South African distributor who struggled with the weakness of the Rand. Telematics for Insurance is a newer market and is currently experiencing high levels of growth. At the year end we had 92,025 Insurance solution units reporting to our servers (2015: 44,468). Market forecasts are predicting growth rates in excess of 42% and we have certainly seen an increased 10 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Page Title at start:Content Section at start:In addition since the year end we have announced a new contract with Scottish Power to provide our telematics solution with driver feedback devices to 1,600 vehicles and a contract with BT Fleet to market our telematics solutions to their business customers. We have also secured a 12 month contract extension from Shell, which has been RML largest customer in recent years. Furthermore, we have been awarded 2 initial contracts by Allianz, the global insurance company, to supply devices with uniquely developed software to Allianz’s Global Telematics business. The initial supply contract comes with a launch order of 5,000 devices to start the pipe filling for Allianz Insurance telematics in China. RECENT ACQUISITIONS In June 2015 the Group acquired the trade and assets of DCS Systems Ltd, a UK dash-cam supplier, to expand its offering to customers. Route Monkey Holdings Ltd, a scheduling and optimisation software provider, was acquired in December 2015, completing Trakm8’s fully comprehensive range of telematics solutions. level of interest from established-insurance businesses. As a result the lifetime cost of an installed unit has dropped significantly over the last couple of years with a growing appetite from customers for richer data. We have invested in our First Notification of Loss (‘FNOL’) algorithms and are now able to identify the majority of crashes – particularly at speeds below 40 mph which are notoriously difficult to detect. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in excess of 90% of insurance claims are due to driver error, and the ability to offer black-box data in conjunction with video footage of events leading up to an accident is proving to be a powerful driver to enable Insurance companies to reduce the cost and management of policyholder’s claims. We have accelerated the development of our Fleet Management solutions and believe we offer one of the widest ranges of solutions available in addition to camera and optimisation capabilities. We are now able to download and report on vehicle diagnostic data from in excess of 95% of all vehicles since 2006 and this is providing valuable information in particular for Fleet Managers and our roadside assistance customers. New contracts won during the year included Bibby Distribution and Kubota together with the contract extension we announced last December with the AA whereby our telematics solutions will be offered to the AA business customers. We were also delighted that RML secured a 3-year contract extension with Iceland for their optimisation software. 11 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start: EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT CONTINUED Products Product sales are the sales of our hardware mainly to other telematics service providers and integrators. In addition the sales of the DCS camera products are now included together with the revenues from our contract electronic manufacturing facility in Coleshill, Birmingham. Total product revenues increased by 23% to £8.44m (2015: £6.87m) with £1.85m of this growth being accounted for by sales of camera products. Organic product sales reduced by £0.30m as we continue to focus on solutions sales to our own customers rather than lower margin product sales to 3rd parties. Reflecting this strategy, during the year our manufacturing facility made in excess of 138,000 telematics units and it is anticipated this growth will continue. Manufacturing our own telematics units gives the Group a lower overall unit cost together with a much shorter time to market for introducing new products. For example, after only 2 years of marketing the smallest self-fit telematics device, we are now developing our 4th version as we continue to refine the product and enhance the insights that can be gained from the richness of the data. Research and Development We operate in a competitive market where hardware costs are reducing, along with the costs of sending data over the mobile networks. At the same time customers are becoming increasingly aware of the variety and volumes of data that can be made available from telematics solutions and this is driving the market towards providing ‘more for less’. We also exist in a fragmented market where there are many competitors with few barriers to entry. Trakm8 has always focussed on owning the IP for our products and solutions and we see this as one of our key competitive advantages. Telematics systems are complex but because we own all the elements that encompass a solution (with the exception of the mobile networks) we have the ability to understand and resolve problems more easily than our competitors. The Group has invested in a 44% increase in the average number of Engineers in our research & development teams to 59 (2015: 41) during the year. We have rolled out our battery health monitoring algorithm and submitted an associated patent application. Our self-fit telematics device continues to be the smallest on the market and is now auto-configurable when plugged into a new vehicle. We have also reduced the time our installers require to fit our fixed wired devices. Our hosting architecture has also been developed so that we can now manage much larger quantities of devices using Amazon Web Services. 12 We have continued to enhance our algorithms for the risk scoring of drivers for Insurance companies so that their premiums can be more accurately calculated to match the level of risk. Our acquisition of the DCS assets in June 2015 has given us a valuable insight into dash cams and later this year we will be launching an integrated telematics and camera product. This will enable users to receive an instant summary of events leading up to a crash incident including visual data from the camera and vehicle data from our telematics unit. During the year the Group initiated a data security audit by a 3rd party to understand the strengths and weaknesses in our system for collecting, transferring, storing and presenting the growing volumes of data we are now managing. Data security is very important to us and to all of our customers and we were pleased to gain accreditation with ISO 27001 – the standard for Information Security Management. Board Changes During the year we made significant changes to our Board reflecting the need to strengthen and focus it as a result of our strong growth. First, Bill Duffy joined as an additional independent Non-Executive Director. Bill Duffy has considerable commercial experience having been CEO of Andrew Page, Halfords Autocentres and a number of other leading automotive aftermarket companies. He has also been a consultant to the Board over the past 12 months. In addition Trakm8 appointed 2 of its executives to be Directors of the Group: Sean Morris, as Group Engineering Director and Mark Watkins as Group Operations Director. Sean Morris joined the Group following senior engineering positions at Continental UK, RAC and Aston Martin. Mark Watkins joined the Group following a successful career in IT and operations at Continental UK and Ford Motor Co. Paul Wilson resigned from the Board in December but remains a senior Executive of the Group and we wish to thank him for his contribution over the past 6 years. He is now concentrating his efforts on supporting the AA Fleet Intelligence reseller opportunity. Advisers We were pleased to announce in April 2016 the appointment of JP Morgan Cazenove as financial adviser to the Company. finnCap remain the Company’s broker and nominated adviser. This appointment reflected the Board’s belief that it is appropriate to broaden its advisory relationships given the evolution of the business and the telematics industry as a whole and to help us take the next steps in the Company’s development. Dividend In April 2016 we announced that the Board had considered the payment of a dividend in light of the Group’s strong financial performance and its confidence in Trakm8’s prospects. As a consequence the Board is proposing to pay a maiden dividend of 2 pence per share subject to shareholder approval at our Annual General Meeting in September 2016. People The number of people we employ has grown rapidly as we have continued to invest strongly in our customer service, sales and marketing and engineering teams. In total our organic staff numbers have grown by 24% over the year and in addition we have welcomed 24 new colleagues from the DCS and RML acquisitions. It has been a demanding year as the Group has experienced rapid growth and I would like to thank everyone for their hard work, dedication and contribution to the ongoing success of the business. Outlook The Group has had a successful start to the new financial year consistent with its expectations for the year as a whole. The first 2 months have continued with the strong organic growth of previous years with orders received 57% greater than the corresponding period last year (organic 44%). Following the high level of investment in the business last year, we anticipate costs growing more slowly this year. We will also benefit from full year contributions from our 2 recent acquisitions. The referendum decision to leave the European Union will inevitably lead to uncertainty both politically and commercially for some time. Uncertainty is always unwelcome and may lead to potential customers choosing to delay their investment decisions until the outlook becomes clearer. In addition recent currency movements may lead to additional costs for many of our components which are not priced in Sterling but equally our solutions will become more attractive to overseas customers. We have also recently announced 2 contracts with Allianz, the global Insurance Company to provide the next generation of our self-fit telematics device together with the development of specific software to meet their requirements. These important contracts together with our strong pipeline of further opportunities provide additional visibility in our outlook for this year. Therefore the Board remains optimistic of a positive outlook for the year as a whole.

These revenues are the bedrock of what we do and give us confidence to continue to invest in our expanding portfolio of solutions. We intend to continue to own the Intellectual Property in our solutions as we are confident this gives us the best platform to develop new products and also to provide the best service to our customers. OUR GOAL IS TO USE RICH DATA DERIVED FROM TELEMATICS TO GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS DEEPER INSIGHTS INTO THE OPERATION OF THEIR BUSINESS. WE ARE A DATA COMPANY WITH OUR PRIMARY FOCUS ON THE FLEET MANAGEMENT AND INSURANCE MARKETS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR OWN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS IN ORDER TO MAXIMISE THE BENEFITS THAT COMPLEX TELEMATICS SYSTEMS CAN PROVIDE. We will continue to invest and develop our telematics products to provide world class products. We believe we have one of the most experienced teams of automotive Engineers working for any telematics Company and are therefore best placed to drive the quality of data that can be captured from all types of makes and models of vehicles. We have recently launched Trakm8prime which is a low cost tracking solution for small fleets with no upfront hardware or installation costs. When we launched SWIFT 10 years ago it was initially aimed at small fleets and with Trakm8prime we intend to capture a bigger share of this market having eliminated the requirement for upfront costs and long term contract periods. We will continue to focus on the Insurance, Fleet Management and Automotive markets. The demand from Insurance companies is expected to grow in excess of 42% and our objective is to satisfy this demand by offering low cost self-fit devices, dashboard cameras together with our sophisticated driver risk profiling algorithms. In addition the Fleet Management market is still growing at 15% per annum and we now offer additional rich diagnostic data and route optimisation and scheduling. 13 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:Strategy in action STRATEGY IN ACTION Case Study FLEET IN FOCUS ‘THE INTRODUCTION OF TELEMATICS TO MONITOR DRIVING AND IDLING AMONGST THE AA’S 3,000 PATROL VEHICLES SAVED £1 MILLION IN THE FIRST YEAR ALONE.’ ‘These are hard figures and excellent savings.

The growth in our Adjusted Operating Profit was 109% to £3.92m (2015: £1.88m) and the bridge chart above shows how this growth was achieved. Overheads Our overheads before exceptional costs increased by 39% to £8.76m (2015: £6.30m) reflecting a significant ramp up in expensed research and development, customer service, sales and marketing activities during the year. This led to a substantial increase in our average staff numbers over the year from 157 in 2014/15 to 224 in 2015/16. In total 24 staff members joined us as a result of the acquisitions of DCS and RML. The increase in our investment in new products and research and development over the year resulted in the capitalisation of development costs of £1.85m (2015: £0.86m) and the expensing of £1.00m (2015: £0.35m) in line with the accounting standards. Trading Results Revenues for the year were up by 44% at £25.65m (2015: £17.85m). Organic growth was 28% and this was supplemented by a £1.85m contribution from our acquisition of the DCS assets in June 2015 and a further £0.86m from the acquisition of RML at the end of December 2015. Sales of digital cameras have performed broadly in line with our expectations and RML revenues benefited from the contract renewal with Iceland in January 2016. Particularly pleasing was the 49% increase in our recurring revenues to £8.31m (2015: £5.58m). Our recurring revenues are reported as fees from service and data feeds only and do not include any amortised hardware costs for contracts which have been offered at a fixed monthly fee for a specific term. Our gross margin percentage increased by 3.1% to 48.3% (2015: 45.2%). We would anticipate our gross margin percentage to increase in future years as the proportion of our recurring revenues increases and as we concentrate our manufacturing facility on making a more focused range of products. This, however, will be tempered by the increasing price pressure that exists in the telematics market towards lower cost hardware and richer data. Trakm8 is strongly placed to manage these demands through owning almost all of the intellectual property in its telematics solutions.

The acquisition costs related to the purchase of the trade and assets of DCS in June 2015 and 100% of the share capital of RML in December 2015. The integration costs related to the reorganisation of management and integration of business systems and processes following the acquisitions. These costs have been included as part of Administration costs. Profit Before Tax Profit before tax has increased by 76% to £3.00m (2015: £1.70m). The tax credit for the year is £0.34m (2015: tax charge £0.00m). Profit before tax includes exceptional costs of £0.6m (2015: nil) which incurred in relation to the acquisition and integration costs of the trade and assets of DCS and RML. The Group has tax losses of £6.32m to utilise in future periods. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share increased by 91% to 11.15 pence (2015: 5.84 pence). Our adjusted earnings per share which is before exceptional costs and share- based payments, increased by 115% to 13.44 pence (2015: 6.24 pence). Balance Sheet, Financing and Cash-flow Our intangible non-current assets grew by £10.34m as a result of the 2 acquisitions we completed during the year together with our increased investment in development costs. Goodwill arising from the DCS acquisition was £2.18m with a further £0.32m intangibles relating to acquired development costs. The acquisition of RML created £5.59m of goodwill and in addition we acquired £0.98m of algorithms and related software. Total cash generated from operations during the year was an excellent £4.45m (2015: £1.19m) representing 114% of Adjusted Operating Profit (2015: 63%). Free cash-flow conversion, after capex and capitalised development costs, was 51% (2015: -1%). As a result we ended the year with total cash of £3.87m set against total borrowings of £4.96m, giving overall a net debt of £1.09m (2015: net cash £0.60m). The bridge graph above shows a summary of our net cash movements over the year. A new 5-year bank facility was taken out with HSBC in December to replace existing facilities and to complete the acquisition of RML. In addition a new £5m revolving credit facility was granted by HSBC and this facility has yet to be drawn down. In addition to this facility, to fund the RML acquisition 1,801,802 new ordinary shares were placed with institutional investors at a price of 333 pence, to raise £6m. 184,441 new ordinary shares were also issued as part of the consideration to the senior management shareholders of RML. 19 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:Key performance indicators KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs) CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Trakm8 understands that it has a responsibility to understand and meet the needs of all the stakeholders involved in the business, including suppliers, customers, employees and shareholders. Through interaction with these parties, the Group endeavours to have a positive impact on both society and the environment whilst achieving our commercial objectives. The Audit and Risk Committee annually review the Risk Register to ensure Corporate and Social Responsibility is integral to the way the business is run. The Board monitors the following KPIs to ensure the objectives of the Group are being achieved: 2016 2015 £3.92m £1.88m Adjusted Operating Profit (£m) Adjusted Operating Profit (before exceptional costs and share-based payments). The Group is pleased to note the 105% increase over the year. Furthermore with a full year contribution from our DCS and RML acquisitions we expect further growth in 2016/17. Gross Margin (%) 48.3% 45.2% Our margin increased by 3.1% compared to last year helped by the increase in our recurring revenues. Invoiced Units – Insurance 92,025 44,468 Units being invoiced for the insurance market demand more than doubled in the year. The service fees per unit are lower than those in the Fleet Management sector but the market is growing much faster. Invoiced Units – Fleet Management 58,522 57,763 The total number of units under Fleet Management only increased marginally over the year. However, our South African distributor has been struggling from the weakness of the Rand and this accounted for the loss of nearly 5,000 units. Excluding South Africa our invoiced units increased by 10.8%. Recurring Revenues (£m) £8.31m £5.58m Total recurring revenues earned during the year increased by 49% to £8.31m driven by the increased numbers of units reporting to our servers. Cash Generated from Operating Activities (£m) £4.45m £1.19m Our cash generation over the year was very strong at £4.45m driven by the strong increase in Operating Profits. Adjusted Operating Profit Conversion to Cash Cash-flow conversion Free cash-flow conversion (after capex and capitalised development costs) 114% 51% 63% -1% These measures demonstrate the improvement in the Group’s ability to convert Adjusted Operating Profits into cash. 20 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Page Title at start:Content Section at start:CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Corporate social responsibility People Recruitment, Development and Retention Employees are recruited by the in-house recruitment specialist who understands the fast paced environment that Trakm8 operates in. The Group provides interesting and varied work to its employees with a strong emphasis on the development of its people and gradually increasing responsibility of roles if desired by employees. The benefits provided by the Company match that of comparative organisations in this sector. Managers are encouraged to have regular one to one meetings with their teams to ensure employees are satisfied in their field of work. Such a diverse business spreading across a number of sectors enables Trakm8 to support its employees through a number of different career paths, such as customer service, sales, marketing or engineering. Employees are encouraged to apply for internal vacancies and many staff have developed from junior roles progressing to a senior management position. Long-serving employees are rewarded with additional annual leave allowances, whilst those who are deemed exceptional receive share options that can be exercised between 3 and 10 years after issue. Communication Employees receive a monthly communication from the Executive Chairman that provides information about order entry against budget, significant changes to staffing and the results of the exceptional employee of the month award. Employees are nominated for this award by their colleagues or managers and receive a £250 bonus in their pay for demonstrating commitment and performance beyond the day-to-day demands of their role. Employee Share Scheme This financial year saw the introduction of a Company-wide share save scheme run by the Yorkshire Building Society. Share options were granted at £1.83 and are subject to normal CGT taxation limits. Environment Trakm8’s solutions are in themselves designed to positively impact the environment through lower fuel costs, lower accident rates, fewer vehicles to undertake the same service delivery and lower costs of maintenance. Trakm8 estimates it has helped its customers save over 59,000 tonnes of CO2 in the past year. As part of our ISO14001:2004 certificate renewal, Trakm8 took the opportunity to transition from individual Company accreditations to a single, Group-wide accreditation. This reflects the continued efforts to integrate and centralise Group operations with a single Management System deployed across the whole Group. We expect to complete the transition to ISO14001:2015 accreditation during the next 12 months. Following the acquisition of the DCS Systems’ business in Bodmin, a full environmental aspects and impacts review was conducted and the necessary controls and processes put in place. This resulted in the successful inclusion of the Bodmin site under the Group ISO environmental accreditation. The Group also holds the ISO 18001 accreditation for Occupational Health and Safety. Environmental improvements over last 12 months/coming 12 months • The Group has continued to monitor fuel and natural resource usage, including the Company fleet vehicles with a view to targeting reductions wherever possible. This monitoring also included a full review of chemical usage within the Group to rationalise and reduce the number of chemicals used within our products and processes. Examples include the replacement of rosin-based solder with a safer, non-rosin based alternative helping to reduce overall environmental impact and improve the working conditions of our employees. The Group is also updating all lighting to LED at the head office in Shaftesbury. • The Group relocated several compressor units at the Coleshill manufacturing site to improve the working environment through a reduction of background noise levels. • During the next 12 months, there will be a project to reduce the amount of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gas) used through a replacement of the air-conditioning system at our Coleshill site. This will have the added benefit of providing our staff with a much enhanced working environment. • The Group continues our measurement of fuel and natural resource usage to drive further improvements in environmental performance. 21 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:Risk management RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK & PRINCIPAL RISKS & UNCERTAINTIES No 1 Risk description Significant operational system failure Potential impact Mitigating action Our strategy is to move our operational systems into the Cloud.

During the year to March 2016, the Board has carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Group, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity. This Report summarises those risks and how they are being managed or mitigated. The Board reviews the output of this process.

The Group Risk Register is subject to a detailed review and discussion by this Group including discussion of risks which may not have been identified through the normal channels. This Group identifies all the key risks to the business and ensures our elimination and mitigation processes are robust and up to date to minimise any potential impact. Risk identification is embedded in other processes, including product development, contract approvals and other operational activities. Trakm8’s corporate strategy is designed to optimise our business model and accept risk, with the required controls on an informed basis. • Strategic – medium to low tolerance for risks arising from poor business decisions or sub-standard execution of business objectives. • Operational – low to near-zero tolerance for risks arising from business processes including the technical, quality, and project management or organisational risk associated with programmes and products. • Corporate – low to near-zero tolerance for compliance and reputational risks including those related to the law, health, safety and the environment. • Financial – zero tolerance for financial risks including failure to provide adequate liquidity to meet our obligations and manage currency, interest rate and credit risks.

Trakm8 Holdings PLC is a public listed Company incorporated and domiciled in England (Company Number 05452547) whose shares are quoted on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange PLC. Principal Activities The principal activities of the Trakm8 Group are the manufacture, marketing and distribution of vehicle and plant telematics equipment and services. Trakm8 Holdings PLC is the holding Company for the Trakm8 Group. Financial Risk Management The Group manages its key financial risks as follows. Further details can be found in Note 27. Liquidity Risk The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity and flexibility of funding through the use of borrowings and financial assets with a range of maturities. It is also the Group’s policy to mitigate the risk of borrowings by maintaining cash reserves. The Group currently has an unused revolving bank credit facility of £5m. Currency Risk The Group endeavours to minimise its foreign currency exposure by trading in Sterling wherever possible. The 2 principal foreign currencies used are the US Dollar and the Euro and where possible we endeavour to match inflows and outflows. Credit and Cash Risk The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables and the Group attaches considerable importance to the collection and management of trade receivables. The Group minimises its credit risk through the application of appropriate credit limits. The risk associated with our cash reserves is closely monitored and deposits are only placed with banks that have suitable external credit ratings. Results and Dividends The Group results for the year ended 31 March 2016 are shown in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on page 36. The Directors recommend the payment of a final dividend of 2.0p per ordinary 1p share (2015: 0.0p), to be paid on 13 September 2016 to those members on the register at close of business on 26 August 2016. Research and Development The Group has continued to expand the investment in research and development to ensure the future success of the business. During the year we capitalised development costs of £1,852,639 and a further £1,002,096 was expensed. The Group broadened the capability of the development team and established new leadership in order to further enhance the Group’s development resources and products for future years.

Each of the Directors has confirmed that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that it has been communicated to the auditor. Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have prepared the Group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRSs’) as adopted by the European Union, and the Parent Company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (‘FRS 101’). Under Company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; • make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • state whether IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Group and Parent Company financial statements respectively; • notify the Company’s shareholders in writing about the use of disclosure exemptions, if any, of FRS 101 used in the preparation of financial statements; and • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Independent Auditors A resolution to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors, will be put to the members at the Annual General Meeting.

What We Have Audited The financial statements, included within the Annual Report and Financial Statements (the ‘Annual Report’), comprise: • • the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2016; the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended; the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. • • • Certain required disclosures have been presented elsewhere in the Annual Report, rather than in the notes to the financial statements. These are cross-referenced from the financial statements and are identified as audited. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the financial statements is IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and applicable law. Financial Statements Independent auditor’s report Responsibilities for the Financial Statements and the Audit Our Responsibilities and Those of the Directors As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities set out on page 31, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (‘ISAs (UK & Ireland)’). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Parent Company’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing. What an Audit of Financial Statements Involves We conducted our audit in accordance with ISAs (UK & Ireland). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: • whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. • • In applying the financial reporting framework, the Directors have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. In making such estimates, they have made assumptions and considered future events. We primarily focus our work in these areas by assessing the Directors’ judgements against available evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the disclosures in the financial statements. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ • Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. • In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report. We have nothing to report in this respect. Other Matters on Which We Are Required To Report By Exception Adequacy of information and explanations received Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Directors’ Remuneration Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. We test and examine information, using sampling and other auditing techniques, to the extent we consider necessary to provide a reasonable basis for us to draw conclusions. We obtain audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report and financial statements to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. With respect to the Strategic Report and Directors’ Report, we consider whether those reports include the disclosures required by applicable legal requirements. Other Matter We have reported separately on the Parent Company financial statements of Trakm8 Holdings PLC for the year ended 31 March 2016.

The trading results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Trakm8 Holdings PLC is a public limited Company incorporated in the United Kingdom (registration number 05452547). The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered office address is Lydden House, Wincombe Business Park, Shaftesbury, Dorset, SP7 9QJ. The Company’s ordinary shares are traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The Group’s principal activity is the manufacture, marketing and distribution of vehicle telematics equipment and services. The Company’s principal activity is to act as a holding Company for its subsidiaries. 2 Authorisation of Financial Statements and Statement of Compliance with IFRS The Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (‘IFRS IC’) interpretations as endorsed by the European Union, and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. 3 Basis of Preparation The accounting policies set out in note 4 have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements made up to 31 March 2016. These financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Group has cash balances of £3,871,110 at 31 March 2016 and the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenditure are eliminated on consolidation. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of cost of acquisition over the fair values of the Group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired (i.e. discount on acquisition) is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income. All acquisition expenses have been reported within the consolidated income statement immediately. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by other members of the Group. Revenue Recognition Revenue represents the total of amounts receivable for goods and services provided excluding value added tax. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies as disclosed within note 4 and 5. Revenue on the sale of telematics devices and other hardware is recognised on the delivery of the goods to the customer, or where bill and hold arrangements exist on acceptance of the goods by the customer. 4 Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions which are based on management’s best judgement at the date of the financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the year in which the circumstances change. Where necessary, the comparatives have been reclassified or extended from the previously reported results to take into account presentational changes. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 March each year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Revenue for telematics services, being the provision of data to customers, is recognised with reference to the fair value of contracts over the period to which it relates. The appropriate portion of service revenues covering a future period is shown as deferred income under current liabilities. Revenue for engineering services and software development and integration projects is recognised with reference to the fair value of the contracts when the project is substantially complete and the outcome is reasonably certain. Revenue from the sale of software is recognised when the software is made available for use by the customers. Revenue from the development of software and the integration of software with customers’ existing systems is recognised with reference to the fair value of the contracts when the project is substantially complete and the outcome is reasonably certain. Grant Income Government grants for revenue expenditure are recognised in income statement on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. For grants relating to assets the grant is deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. 37 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 4 Accounting Policies continued Operating Leases Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. The cost of operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the periods of the leases. Exceptional Items Exceptional items are those items that, in the Directors’ view, are required to be separately disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence to enable a full understanding of the Group’s financial performance. Taxation The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current tax is based on taxable profits for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated by using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based upon tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted. Share-based Payments The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based payment, the corresponding entry to the expense in the statement of comprehensive income is recognised in equity within the Statement of Changes in Equity. The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. The fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effect of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. Goodwill Goodwill arising on consolidation is recorded as an intangible asset and is the surplus of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of identifiable net assets (including intangible assets) acquired. Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment. Any impairment identified as a result of the review is charged in the statement of comprehensive income. 38 On disposal of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill An intangible asset, which is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance, is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Group and that its cost can be measured reliably. Such intangible assets are carried at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is charged to ‘administrative expenses’ in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the ‘intangible assets’ useful economic life. The amortisation period is typically 1–10 years depending on the life of the related asset. Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised as an intangible asset only if the following conditions are met: • an asset is created that can be identified; • it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefit; the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably; it meets the Group’s criteria for technical and commercial feasibility; and • • • sufficient resources are available to meet the development costs to either sell or use as an asset. Intangible Assets Acquired as Part of a Business Combination For acquisitions, the Group recognises intangible assets separately from goodwill provided they are separable or arise from contractual or other legal rights and their fair value can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are initially recognised at fair value, which is regarded as their cost. Intangible assets are subsequently held at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Where intangible assets have finite lives, their cost is amortised on a straight line basis over those lives. The nature of intangible assets recognised and their estimated useful lives are as follows: Software Websites Intellectual property 10 – 20% Straight line 33 – 50% Straight line 20% Straight line Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation or impairment losses. With the exception of freehold buildings held at 31 March 2006 (the date of transition to IFRS), cost represents purchase price together with any incidental costs to acquisition. As permitted by IFRS 1, the cost of freehold buildings at 31 March 2006 represents deemed cost, being the market value of the property for existing use at that date. Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write each asset down to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life, as follows: Freehold property Furniture, fixtures and equipment Computer equipment Motor vehicles 2% Straight line 25% Reducing balance 33% Straight line 25% Straight line Property, Plant and Equipment Impairment The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and adjusted if appropriate. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Page Title at start:Content Section at start:Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes all direct expenditure and production overheads based on a normal level of activity. Net realisable value is the price at which the stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation and where appropriate for the costs of conversion from its existing state to a finished condition. Provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks. Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at their amortised cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is made where there is objective evidence, (including customers with financial difficulties or in default on payments), that amounts will not be recovered in accordance with the original terms of the agreement. A provision for impairment is established when the carrying value of the receivable exceeds the present value of the future cash flow discounted using the original effective interest rate. The carrying value of the receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account and any impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts where applicable. Financial Liabilities and Equity Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Bank Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, being proceeds received less directly attributable transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost with any transaction costs amortised to the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Trade Payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Finance Leases Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets have been transferred to the Group, are capitalised in the statement of financial position and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives. The asset is recorded at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. The capital elements of future obligations under finance leases are included in liabilities in the statement of financial position and analysed between current and non-current amounts. The interest elements of future obligations under finance leases are charged to the statement of comprehensive Income over the periods of the leases and represent a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Warranty Claims Provision is made for product warranty claims when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. No provision is made for discounting on the grounds that the impact of discounting is deemed insignificant. Equity Equity comprises the following: Share capital represents the nominal value of equity shares. Share premium represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue. Merger reserve represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for equity shares issued on reverse acquisition of subsidiaries, net of expenses of the share issue prior to the date of transition to IFRS. Translation reserve represents cumulative foreign exchange gains and losses on retranslation of overseas operations. Treasury reserve represents the cost of shares held in Treasury. Retained earnings represents retained profits and the share-based payment reserve. Treasury Shares Where any Group Company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Foreign Currencies Sterling is considered to be the functional currency of the Group. This is based on the Group’s workforce being based in the UK and that sterling is the currency in which management reporting and decision- making is based. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are converted to Sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year. Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to Sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the transaction date. All of the resulting exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as they arise. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the statement of financial position date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are classified as equity and transferred to the Group’s reserves. Such translation differences are recognised as income or expense in the period in which the operation is disposed of. 39 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start: NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 4 Accounting Policies continued Segmental Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (‘CODM’). The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors. The Board have assessed that there continues to be just one segment following the continued integration of the Trakm8, DCS and RML businesses. This segment has 2 separate revenue streams distinguished by whether the revenues arise from solely hardware sales (Products) or hardware with ongoing service fees (Solutions). Changes in Accounting Standards and Disclosures During the year no new accounting standards became effective which had a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Developments A number of new standards and amendments and revisions to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group’s future accounting periods. They have not been adopted early in these consolidated financial statements and other than those listed below none are expected to have a material impact on the Group. The Impact of the Following Standards are Being Assessed by the Group IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’. This standard establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount and timing of revenue arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The Group is continuing to assess the full impact of IFRS 15. The area which is currently under review by the Group and where a change to current practice may be required, is contract revenue recognition. The standard becomes effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and is subject to endorsement by The European Union. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’. The main change is expected to relate to the recognition on the Group’s balance sheet of assets and liabilities relating to leases which are currently being accounted for as operating leases. The Group is yet to assess the full impact of IFRS 16 which becomes effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. This standard is subject to endorsement by The European Union. 5 Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty Critical Judgements in Applying the Group’s Accounting Policies In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, management has made the following judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below). Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised with reference to the fair value of contracts. Management recognises revenue with reference to the fair value of the elements provided within the contract. On contracts with elements of supply, software development and integration, and service, management have determined the revenue attributable to each element of each project by reference to the contracts and with reference to historic trends and industry averages to identify fair value. 40 The split between initial recognition for products supplied and subsequent recognition for service revenue over the contract period and allocating the fair value between these elements is the key judgement made by management in ensuring appropriate revenue recognition. Management determines the state of completion of engineering services, software development and integration projects by reference to work done, elements delivered and services provided to the customer. Goodwill Carrying Value A full impairment review has been performed on a ‘value in use’ basis, which requires estimation of future net operating cash flows, the time period over which they will occur, an appropriate discount rate and an appropriate growth rate. Further details, including a sensitivity analysis are given in Note 14 and the accounting policy is set out in Note 4. Valuation of Intellectual Property on Business Combinations On the acquisition of a business, it is necessary to attribute fair values to any intangible assets acquired, provided they meet the criteria to be recognised. The fair values of these assets are arrived at by estimating the cost of acquiring equivalent assets from a 3rd party. The Group takes advice from 3rd parties in determining fair values and the estimated useful lives of intangible assets arising on significant acquisitions. Estimates of remaining useful lives of assets are also reviewed at least annually and revised if appropriate. Capitalised Development Costs The recoverability of capitalised development costs is dependent on assessments of the future commercial viability of the relevant products and processes. Management assess this viability based on market knowledge and demand from customers for improvements to existing products and software capabilities. Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Recoverability of Internally-generated Intangible Asset During the year, management reconsidered the recoverability of its internally generated intangible asset. The costs relate to the development of the Group’s portfolio of hardware and software products and management continue to believe that the anticipated revenues will enable the carrying amount to be recovered in full. Assumptions have been made on the number of years over which the costs will be recovered based on management’s best expectations and these could turn out to be longer or shorter although any subsequent adjustment is not expected to be material. Recoverability of Trade Receivables Management are particularly conscious of the financial weakness of some companies and closely monitors its outstanding debtor book in order to minimise the risk associated with future bad debts. Weekly cash receipts are analysed and future supplies are stopped if accounts remain overdue. An increasing number of customers taking the Group’s services pay by direct debit and this is reducing the Group’s exposure to the non-recoverability of trade receivables in the future. Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Page Title at start:Content Section at start:Recoverability of Deferred Tax Asset During the year, management have reconsidered the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. The projections demonstrate that the deferred tax asset will be utilised in the foreseeable future. Assumptions have been made on the number of years over which the tax losses will be recovered based on management’s best expectations and these could turn out to be longer or shorter although any subsequent adjustment is not expected to be material. Fair Value Adjustments On the date of acquisition, management have fair valued the assets and liabilities of DCS and RML to ensure they are consolidated at the correct amount. Management have used judgement in calculating the fair values using their knowledge of the Company and its surroundings. The assumptions made are anticipated to give a true and fair view on the date of acquisition. 6 Segmental Analysis The chief operating decision maker (‘CODM’) is identified as the Board. It continues to define all the Group’s trading under the single Integrated Telematics Technology segment and therefore review the results of the Group as a whole. Consequently all of the Group’s revenue, expenses, results, assets and liabilities are in respect of one Integrated Telematics Technology segment. The Board as the CODM review the revenue streams of Integrated Fleet Management and Insurance Solutions (Solutions) and Hardware as Discrete Devices (Products) as part of their internal reporting. Products is the sale of hardware through the Group’s distributors. Solutions represents the sale of the Group’s full vehicle telematics service to customers, engineering services, professional services and mapping solutions.

Since the acquisition DCS has been incorporated into the Trakm8 business. The 2 businesses have therefore been assessed as one cash-generating unit for an impairment test on goodwill. The impairment review has been done using the value in use calculation. The impairment review has been based on the Group’s budgets for 2016/17 which have been reviewed and approved by the Board. Forecasts for the subsequent 3 years have been produced based on 7% growth rates in each year. A net present value has been calculated using a pre-tax discount rate of 10% which is deemed to be a prudent rate taking account of the Group’s cost of funds and an extra element for risk. No terminal value has been calculated as the discounted cash flow forecasts used within the model fully support the goodwill value. In addition a sensitivity analysis has been undertaken by making the following changes: 1. Reduction in annual growth rates to 3% per annum 2. Increase in the discount rate to 13% The conclusion of this review is that no reasonable set of assumptions would produce an impairment.

Where appropriate, the Group seeks to mitigate potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Liquidity Risk The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity and flexibility of funding through the use of borrowings and financial assets with a range of maturities. Borrowing facilities are monitored against the Group’s forecast requirements and it is the Group’s policy to mitigate the risk by maintaining cash reserves. Currency Risk The Group operates internationally although the majority of its sales are in Sterling. Purchases of components are also made in US Dollars and Euros. The Group endeavours to minimise its foreign currency exposure by trading in Sterling wherever possible. The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% and a 20% decrease in the value of Sterling against the US Dollar and the Euro and the resulting effect on profit. The sensitivity analysis of the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the year end has been determined based upon the assumption that the increase in US Dollar and Euro exchange rates is effective throughout the financial year and all other variables remain constant. US Dollar Euro US Dollar Euro 10% Year ended 31 March 2016 Profit £ (206,826) (160,324) Year ended 31 March 2015 Profit £ (43,694) (72,500) 20% Profit £ (465,359) (360,729) Profit £ (43,694) (72,500) Credit Risk The Group’s principal financial assets are bank balances, cash and trade and other receivables. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables and the Group attaches considerable importance to the collection and management of trade receivables. The Group minimises its credit risk through the application of appropriate credit limits to customers based on an assessment of net worth and trading history with the Group. Standard credit terms are net 30 days from the date of invoice. Overdue trade receivables are managed through a phased escalation culminating in legal action. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be ascertained with reference to the banks’ external credit ratings.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total borrowings divided by total capital. Total borrowings include ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the Consolidated statement of financial position. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the Consolidated statement of financial position plus total borrowings. The Group’s strategy has been to reduce gearing. This has been successfully achieved through the profits generated during the year. Total borrowings (Note 20) Total equity Total capital Gearing ratio At the year end the Group had total net borrowings of £1,086,408, (2015: net cash £596,314).

RML provides technology solutions that optimise fleet routing. The Company was acquired to bring new and complementary route planning and optimisation technology capability to the Group. The assets and liabilities as at 30 December 2015 arising from the acquisition were as follows: Intangible assets Property and equipment Trade receivables Trade and other payables Deferred tax Borrowings Net liabilities acquired Goodwill Total consideration Satisfied by: Cash Fair value of shares in the Company Fair value £ 979,891 24,995 1,380,632 (975,479) (181,000) (1,784,357) (555,318) 5,591,902 5,036,584 4,422,395 614,189 5,036,584 The acquisition was settled in cash of £4,422,395 and by issuing 184,441 shares in Trakm8 Holdings PLC. The fair value of the equity shares issued was based on the market value of Trakm8 Holdings PLC’s traded shares with a fair value of £614,189 on the acquisition date. Merger relief has been applied, leading to the addition of £612,344 to the merger reserve rather than share premium. The revenue included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income since 30 December 2015 contributed by RML was £855,823. RML also contributed operating profit of £585,404 over the same period. The Directors have concluded that it is impractical to provide disclosure of the revenues and profit that RML would have contributed to the Group had it been consolidated from 1 April 2015. This is due to a combination of the fact that RML previously had a different year end and audited accounts are not available for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 December 2015, and significant adjustments have been required to RML’s accounting policies in respect of revenue recognition to align with the requirements of IFRS and Trakm8 Holdings PLC’s accounting policies and it is impractical to recalculate revenues for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 December 2015. Acquisition related costs amounting to £404,743 have been recognised as an exceptional administrative expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under the purchase agreement to acquire RML, contingent consideration of up to £2,000,000 is payable subject to the business achieving certain performance targets during the year to 31 December 2016. No provision in relation to this consideration has been recognised in these consolidated financial statements as the Directors consider the likelihood of any contingent amounts being payable under the agreement to be highly unlikely. The goodwill arising on the acquisition represents the value of the software analytics acquired which Trakm8 Holdings PLC plans to integrate into their existing telematics offering. 53 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 28 Business Combinations continued DCS Systems Limited On 16 June 2015 Trakm8 Limited acquired the business and assets of DCS Systems Limited ‘DCS’ for a consideration of £3,275,136.

Acquisition related costs amounting to £174,200 have been recognised as an exceptional administrative expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

No provision in relation to this consideration has been recognised in these consolidated financial statements, as the Directors consider the likelihood of any contingent amounts being payable under the agreement to be highly unlikely. 30 Dividends We are proposing a final dividend of 2.0p per ordinary share (2015: nil) which subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting which is to be held on 7 September 2016, will be paid on 13 September 2016 to shareholders on the Register at the close of business on 26 August 2016. 54 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Page Title at start:Content Section at start: INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRAKM8 HOLDINGS PLC Report on the Parent Company Financial Statements Our Opinion In our opinion, Trakm8 Holdings PLC’s Parent Company Financial Statements (the ‘financial statements’): • give a true and fair view of the state of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 March 2016; • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. What We Have Audited The financial statements, included within the Annual Report and Financial Statements (the ‘Annual Report’), comprise: • • the Company statement of financial position as at 31 March 2016 the Company statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. • Certain required disclosures have been presented elsewhere in the Annual Report, rather than in the notes to the financial statements. These are cross-referenced from the financial statements and are identified as audited. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the financial statements is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’, and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In applying the financial reporting framework, the Directors have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. In making such estimates, they have made assumptions and considered future events. Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ • Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. • In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report. We have nothing to report in this respect. Other Matters on Which We are Required to Report by Exception Adequacy of Accounting Records and Information and Explanations Received Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or • adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. • Independent auditor’s report Directors’ Remuneration Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Responsibilities For The Financial Statements and the Audit our Responsibilities and Those of the Directors As explained more fully in the statement of Directors’ responsibilities set out on page 31, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (‘ISAs (UK & Ireland)’). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Parent Company’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing. What an Audit of Financial Statements Involves We conducted our audit in accordance with ISAs (UK & Ireland). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: • whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Parent Company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. • • We primarily focus our work in these areas by assessing the Directors’ judgements against available evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the disclosures in the financial statements. We test and examine information, using sampling and other auditing techniques, to the extent we consider necessary to provide a reasonable basis for us to draw conclusions. We obtain audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report and financial statements to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. With respect to the Strategic Report and Directors’ Report, we consider whether those reports include the disclosures required by applicable legal requirements. Matthew Hall (Senior Statutory Auditor) for and on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditors Southampton We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. 8 July 2016 55 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:PARENT COMPANY STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AS AT 31 MARCH 2016 Assets Non current assets Investments Current assets Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Liabilities Current liabilities Trade and other payables Borrowings Current assets less current liabilities Total assets less current liabilities Non current liabilities Borrowings Net assets Equity Share capital Share premium account Merger reserve Treasury reserve Retained earnings Total shareholders’ funds Parent company statement of financial position As at 31 March 2016 £ As at 31 March 2015 £ Note 3 4 5 5 10,935,554 5,296,148 3,574,016 1,264,409 1,539,043 103,068 4,838,425 1,642,111 (246,827) (955,506) (56,434) (575,644) (1,202,333) (632,078) 3,636,092 1,010,033 14,571,646 6,306,181 6 (3,888,609) (2,236,001) 10,683,037 4,070,180 7 320,350 9,641,062 612,344 (4,495) 113,776 289,738 3,757,400 – (11,625) 34,667 10,683,037 4,070,180 The result for the year was a loss of £118,970, (2015: profit £12,851).

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies using FRS 101. The Parent Company has transitioned to FRS 101 from previously extant UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice for all periods presented. There are no adjustments to the comparative figures for the year ended 31 March 2015 or as at 1 April 2014 arising from the change in financial reporting framework. The Company has taken advantage of the legal dispensation contained in Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 allowing it not to publish a separate income statement and related notes. The Company has also taken advantage of the legal dispensation contained in Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 allowing it not to publish a separate statement of other comprehensive income. The following exemptions from the requirements of IFRS have been applied in the preparation of these financial statements, in accordance with FRS 101: • Paragraphs 45(b) and 46 to 52 of IFRS 2, ‘Share-based payment’ (details of the number and weighted-average exercise prices of share options, and how the fair value of goods or services received was determined) IFRS 7, ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ • • Paragraphs 91 to 99 of IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’ (disclosure of valuation techniques and inputs used for fair value measurement of assets and liabilities) • Paragraph 38 of ‘International Accounting Standard 1, Presentation of financial statements’ (IAS1) comparative information requirements in respect of paragraph 79(a)(iv) of IAS1 • The following paragraphs of IAS1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’: – 10(d) (statement of cash flows) – 16 (statement of compliance with all IFRS) – 38A (requirement for minimum of 2 primary statements, including cash flow statements) – 38B-D (additional comparative information) – 40A-D (requirements for a third statement of financial position) – 111 (cash flow statement information) – 134-136 (capital management disclosures) IAS 7, ‘Statement of cash flows’ • • Paragraphs 30 and 31 of IAS 8, ‘Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors’ (requirement for the disclosure of information when an entity has not applied a new IFRS that has been issued but is not yet effective) • Paragraph 17 of IAS 24, ‘Related-party disclosures (key management compensation) • The requirements of IAS 24, ‘Related-party disclosures’ to disclose related-party transactions entered into between 2 or more members of a Group Investments Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less impairment against the cost of investments. The carrying values of investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Cost includes directly attributable acquisition expenses. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts. Trade Payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Bank Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, being proceeds received less directly attributable transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost with any transaction costs amortised to the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Deferred Taxation Provision is made for deferred taxation in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date. Timing differences represent differences between gains and losses recognised for tax purposes in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. No deferred tax is recognised on permanent differences between the Company’s taxable gains and losses and its results as stated in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included without discounting. 58 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Page Title at start:Content Section at start:Equity Equity comprises the following: Share capital represents the nominal value of equity shares. Share premium represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue. Treasury reserve represents the cost of shares held in Treasury. Retained earnings represents retained profits and the share-based payment reserve. Treasury Shares Where any Group Company purchases the company’s equity share capital (Treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Share-based Payments The Company has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based payment. The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of a subsidiary undertaking in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value of the equity instrument, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity. At each balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options or shares that are expected to vest. The impact of any revision, if any, is recognised as a capital contribution with a corresponding adjustment to reserves. The fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effect of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. 2 Profit and Loss Account As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the income statement of the Company is not presented as part of these financial statements. The loss after tax for the year in the Company is £118,970, (2015: profit £12,851). Audit fees for the Company for the year were £3,000 (2015: £3,000). 3 Investments Cost As at 1 April 2015 Acquisition of Route Monkey Holdings Limited Capital contribution in respect of share-based payments At 31 March 2016 Subsidiaries £ 5,296,148 5,441,327 198,079 10,935,554 59 Trakm8 Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2016Strategic ReportDirectors’ ReportGovernance ReportFinancial StatementsPage Title at start:Content Section at start:NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 3 Investments continued The Directors believe that the carrying value of the investments is supported by their underlying net assets.
