Amendment: Trading Update

The following amended announcement contains additional related party transaction information that was originally intended to be incorporated as part of the Trading Update announcement released at 7.00 am on 30 June 2022 (under RNS No. 7308Q).

The full amended version is below.

30 June 2022

Microsaic Systems plc

("Microsaic" or the "Company")

Trading Update

H1 2022 revenues up 40% due to new services division

Strong H2 2022 order book for services continues to grow

Microsaic Systems plc (AIM: MSYS), is pleased to announce an unaudited trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2022 ("H1 2022"). The launch of the Microsaic Services Division, earlier this year, has resulted in an uplift of 40% in revenues to GBP701k in H1 2022 (H1 2021: GBP499k) and a healthy order book for H2. The provision of these services only commenced in April and include R&D Engineering Consultancy, Analytical and AI Software Service Programmes designed for the medical device, environmental, aerospace and food industries.

The Company's website has also been updated to highlight the additional services being offered by the Microsaic team.

Gerry Brandon, Acting Executive Chairman of Microsaic Systems plc, commented

" Microsaic's new high-tech services division has quickly generated revenues and has helped transition the Company from product sales to customer-centric service solutions in Human and Environmental Health so far. We are exploring opportunities and already identified multiple sources of revenues including strategic partners and OEM agreements, we have a healthy order book for H2 2022 which is the strongest ever going in to the second half ."

Related party transaction

The outlook for the second half includes a further statement of work from DeepVerge plc's subsidiary, Innovenn UK Limited , under the previously announced Manufacturing Services Framework Agreement ("MSFA") between the same parties (the "Further Order"). This contract has a value of approximately GBP600,000 and constitutes a related party transaction for Microsaic under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies, by virtue of its size and Microsaic and DeepVerge having two directors in common. At the time of entering into the MSFA and an initial order under its terms were fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. The independent director also considers that the terms of the Further Order are consistent with the terms of both the MSFA and the initial order thereunder, and therefore considers the terms of the Further Order to be fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.

Gerard Brandon and Nigel Burton, Non-executive Chairman and Non-executive Director respectively, are both directors of DeepVerge and have abstained from participating in the consideration of this new order by Microsaic.
