Microsaic Systems plc

("Microsaic" or the "Company")

DeepVerge plc ("DeepVerge") debtor

Further to yesterday's announcement by DeepVerge [1] , Microsaic (AIM: MSYS) notes that material sums are owed by DeepVerge group companies to Microsaic, totalling approximately GBP1.4 million as at today's date which largely relates to the supply of goods and services recognised as revenues for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 ("FY22"). The balance outstanding has reduced from approximately GBP1.5 million at 31 December 2022 following receipt of certain payments from DeepVerge.

A settlement plan has been proposed by DeepVerge to Microsaic, the terms of which are substantially agreed subject to clarification in respect of suitable potential security for the balances due. DeepVerge has made an initial payment in line with that plan, the value of which exceeds GBP0.1 million. In addition, Microsaic has continued to supply services to DeepVerge during 2023, and all amounts arising during the current financial year continue to be received by Microsaic under normal 30-day terms, in line with commercial agreements between the two parties.

Microsaic has cash of GBP0.8 million as of 17 April 2023 and is due to receive R&D tax credits in respect of 2021 and 2022 totalling circa GBP0.5 million, as well as the outstanding DeepVerge balance of GBP1.4 million. Although the first quarter of trading in the current year has started slowly, Microsaic has a growing sales pipeline currently worth in excess of GBP2 milllion, over 90% of which is from customers or distribution channels other than DeepVerge. This reflects the continual sales effort to cultivate and expand the Company's relationships with current customers, while also actively pursuing new business opportunities. A mixture of prospective repeat sales and new revenue streams are therefore expected to support Microsaic's continuing sales progress in 2023 and beyond.

Microsaic expects to release its audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2022 (the "FY22 Results") during the first half of May 2023. The phasing and quantities of receipts from DeepVerge in relation to this historic commercial debt will be subject to further discussion with the Company's auditors, and appropriate disclosures will be included within the FY22 Results.
