Andrew Law, CEO of Enteq Technologies plc, commented:
"The SABER project has reached a pivotal milestone, having
achieved proof of SABER's novel concept whilst drilling in an
operational test environment. The engineering programme and Norway
testing during the year led up to the successful testing in
Oklahoma which has provided us with validation needed to advance
with SABER commercialisation.
A number of efforts were realised during the year to focus on
generating cash to support the SABER project, notably the sale of
the XXT product line and the sale of the property.
We look forward to working alongside selected customers and
industry partners in different regions to bring this technology to
the oil and gas, geothermal and methane abatement markets and to
deliver a positive and disruptive impact."

Combined Chief Executive and Chairman's report
Introduction
Enteq develops and provides downhole electronics and
technologies for measurement, data and control, which are used by
the geothermal, methane capture, oil and gas sectors around the
world.
Specialist directional technologies, including Rotary Steerable
Systems (RSS) and Measurement While Drilling (MWD) are used by
service companies around the world who either purchase or rent
equipment from third parties such as Enteq or develop systems
themselves.
The international RSS market is the target for new Enteq
technology and is currently estimated at over $2bn annually.
Enteq has a proven track record of providing extremely reliable
and respected technology to regional and independent service
companies globally. Enteq is commercialising game-changing
technologies to deliver improvements in efficiency, operating cost
and reduced environmental impact in drilling. Enteq's SABER
technology is a novel RSS originated by Shell and subsequently
developed by Enteq under an exclusive IP and technology license
agreement.
Enteq now has a rented operations facility in Houston, (having
sold a freehold in year-ending March 2023) and a technology centre
in the UK. International business is supported through a network of
sales representatives.
Enteq plans to maximise growth through the commercialisation of
SABER and associated technologies in the substantial global
directional drilling market.
Sale of XXT
The sale was a result of a strategic focus to improve the
Company's medium term cash position to underpin investment in
product line development, primarily the deployment of SABER, the
rotary steerable drilling solution.
The XXT intellectual property (previously amortised over time to
a book value of nil) and associated product lines and trademark,
together with selected technology agreements, customer account
receivable balances, and inventory have been sold for a cash
consideration of c.$1.89m; further selected customer account
receivables and inventory have also been sold for up to c.$1.27m to
be paid in cash over a 12 month period.
The Disposal reflects Enteq's focus on differentiated specialist
MWD technologies, and the rotary steerable sector (SABER) where
there is a larger addressable market.
Review of the Year
This year has been one of increasing the focus on the SABER
technology development project, resulting in a critical milestone
being successfully accomplished.
The SABER development project has progressed well during the
year with the most important milestone being the successful
downhole drilling testing in North America post financial year end,
proving that the novel concept underpinning SABER can steer
effectively in operational test conditions. A simplified design of
the SABER control system was implemented during the year, to widen
the operating range and to improve operating effectiveness.
Continued customer and industry engagement on the SABER project
confirmed there is a high degree of appetite for this technology.
SABER remains on-track for commercialisation, with existing
resources in place to complete the remaining phase of the
development project. A phased roll out is planned in 2024.
As a result of a strategic focus to improve the Company's cash
position to underpin investment in the development of SABER, Enteq
sold the freehold property in South Houston for $2.5m and sold the
XXT intellectual property and associated assets for an initial cash
consideration of $1.89m (with selected account receivables and
inventory for up to c.$1.27m to be paid in cash over a 12-month
period).
As significant overhead reductions were made in recent years,
the underlying overheads have remained steady in comparison to the
previous year.
Staff
There were a total of 13 employees at the end of the year, down
from the 15 at the previous year end. The Board would like to
recognise the on-going loyalty, dedication, and support of the
staff as Enteq continues with its excellent reputation for the
reliability of equipment and commitment to customer support.
Prospects
Enteq has continued investment in the SABER RSS project
development, having achieved successful downhole drilling field
test performance, to significantly reduce the technical risk.
Sustained testing has confirmed that the system has performed to
the design criteria and met all requirements to date.
Continued engineering of the project has resulted in an
enhanced, simplified design with a wider range of operation and a
low cost to operate.
Extensive industry engagement with existing and new customers
and partners, both internationally and across North America, has
confirmed that SABER is on-track to meeting the market requirements
for the geothermal, methane capture and oil and gas sectors.

=================== ========== ============= ========== =============
The North American market saw a steady increase during the year
with the rig count rising from 673 as at 31 March 2022 to 758 as at
31 March 2023 an increase of 85 (13%). This compares to an increase
243 (57%) in the previous year. This was against a background of
the price of a barrel of WTI falling during the year to 31 March
2023 from $104 to $73 compared to a rise from $64 as of 31 March
2022. The oil price was at levels during the year under review to
be profitable for the operating companies that require the services
of Enteq's customers.
North American revenue was steady at $5.8m compared to the $6.2m
reported last year. The North American revenue was largely driven
by demand for specific third-party technologies, with revenues
deliberately controlled by the Company to maintain working capital
efficiency. The international market continued to experience
challenges of capital availability, with international revenue at
$0.4m, down from the $1.1m reported last year.
The full year gross margin was 23%, down from last year's 36%,
due to an increasing proportion of revenue coming from the third
party components mentioned above.
Total underlying overheads, at $2.3m were at the same level as
last year's figure. This reflected the concentration on reducing
all levels of overheads in previous years without impacting the
level of customer support given.
The combined depreciation and amortisation charge was up on the
previous year due to an increased level of amortisation on
previously capitalised software enhancements plus a higher level of
depreciation on both the rental fleet and the underlying
assets.
The "Other charges" shown above relate, primarily, to the
non-cash cost associated with the Performance Share Plan.
Statement of Financial Position
This is a pro-forma statement which is different in presentation
to the statutory format shown on page 36.
Enteq's net assets at the financial year-end comprised of the
following items:
As at 31 March: 2023 2022
$million $million
Intangible assets 6.4 4.1
Property, plant & equipment 0.1 2.2
Rental fleet - 0.3
Net working capital (1.0) 4.1
Assets held for sale 2.2 -
Cash balance 5.4 4.8
----------------------------- ----------- -----------
Net assets 13.1 15.5
============================= =========== ===========
Both the closing balance and the increase in the year in the
intangible assets relate to the on-going spend on the SABER rotary
steerable system.
The net book value of property, plant & equipment at $0.1m
is $2.1m down primarily due to sale of the freehold Houston site
plus the annual depreciation charge.
The reduction in net book value of the rental fleet reflects the
disposal of all the rental kits during the year.
The net working capital of ($1.0m) has decreased by $5.1m during
the year. This is primarily due to a decrease in all major
components; debtors down by $3.3m; inventory down $2.4m countered
by creditors down $0.6m. All these movements relate to the
strategic decision to move away from the lower margin MWD market
and no longer offering extended credit terms to the major
customers.
Cash flows
This is a pro-forma statement which is different in presentation
to the statutory format shown on page 38.
Overall, the Group saw a net cash inflow of $0.6m (2022: outflow
of $3.3m) increasing the Group's closing cash balance as at 31
March 2023 to $5.4m. The major elements of the non-operational
cashflow relates to the $3.0m of on-going investment in the
engineering projects, primarily the SABER tool and the disposal of
the freehold Houston site for a net $2.3m.

SEGMENTAL REPORTING
For management purposes, the Group is currently organised into a
single business unit, the Drilling Tools division, which is
currently based solely in the USA.
The principal activities of the group is the design, manufacture
and selling of specialised parts and products for Directional
Drilling and Measurement While Drilling operations for use in the
energy exploration and services sector of the Oil and Gas industry.
Revenue is only generated by the selling activity.
At present, there is only one operating segment and the
information presented to the board is consistent with
the consolidated profit and loss statement and the consolidated
statement of financial position.
The revenues, net assets and non-current assets of the Group can
be analysed by geographic location (post-consolidation adjustments)
as follows:

Measurement While Drilling operations. The Group had 2 customers
that contributed in excess of 10% of the Group's total sales for
the year (2022: 2). These customers contributed $2,903k and $1,520k
respectively. (2022: $4,086k and $1,014k). No revenue relates to
customers based in the UK (2022: none).

3. INCOME TAX
Analysis of tax expense
No liability to UK corporation tax arose on ordinary activities
for the period.
Factors affecting the tax charge
The tax assessed for the period is different from the standard
rate of corporation tax in the UK. The difference is explained
below:
31 March 31 March
2023 2022
$ 000's $ 000's
Loss on ordinary activities before tax (3,084) (787)
--------- ---------
Loss on ordinary activities multiplied
by the
standard rate of corporation tax in
the UK of 19% (2022: 19%): (586) (149)
Effects of:
Items not subject to corporation tax 473 (31)
Tax losses to carry forward 113 181
R&D tax credit 280 -
Total income tax 280 -
========= =========
There has been no deferred taxation recognised in these
financial statements due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing
of the recovery of these amounts. The total losses available to the
Group in the relevant tax jurisdictions are as follows: UK $0.0m;
United States $22.6m (2022: UK $0.5m; United States $22.2m). There
were no significant deferred tax liabilities. These tax losses have
no expiry date. Tax losses for which no deferred tax balances have
been recognised are disclose in Note 14.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDS
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year of $2,804k (31
March 2022: loss of $787k) by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year of 69,484k (31 March 2022:
68,604k).
As the Group is loss making, any potential ordinary shares have
the effect of being anti-dilutive. Therefore, the diluted EPS is
the same as the basic EPS. As the year end share price is below the
weighted average option price of all the options issued, the
adjusted diluted EPS is the same as adjusted EPS.
The number of outstanding share options, including senior
managers, that are not included in the above figures are as
follows:

The main categories of Intangible Assets are as follows:
Developed technology:
This is technology which is currently commercialised and
embedded within the current product offering.
IPR&D technology:
This is technology which is in the final stages of field
testing, has demonstrable commercial value and is expected to be
launched within the foreseeable future.
Brand names:
The value associated with the various trading names used within
the Group.
Customer relationships:
The value associated with the on-going trading relationships
with the key customers acquired.
Impairment Review
Impairment Review
Due to the sale of the XXT business assets, there is now
considered to be only one main cash generating unit ("CGU") - that
is relating to the SABER project. This CGU is in the carried
forward value for IPR&D technology in the table above with a
value of $6,484k (2022: $3,947k)
The recoverable amount of the CGU at the balance sheet date was
assessed as a directors' valuation (2022: directors' valuation) and
is determined from value in use calculations both where the asset
is currently in use or will be in the near future. The directors
have applied a discounted cashflow approach to determine the
carrying value for the SABER project and intangible asset being
carried in these financial statements.
The key assumptions made by the directors (2022: directors) for
the discounted cash flow workings are:
- the expected roll out of the technology over five years to 31
March 2028 (2022: not disclosed);
- an exit value at the beginning of year six on an estimated
multiple;
- that the roll out will not be significantly impacted by
competing technologies (2022: same assumption);
- that the Group will introduce a phased roll out of rental
units of between 5 and 20 in each key region from 1 April 2024
onwards (2022: not disclosed) with a typical number of days usage
per unit;
- each rental unit will generate a similar amount of revenue per
unit irrespective of the region in which it operates (2022: not
disclosed);
- the expected operating life of each rental unit is >5 years
and annual servicing costs for each have been included in the
workings (2022: not disclosed);
- that the expected revenues arise from projects based upon
agreements in place as well as agreements which currently do not
yet exist and that the Group will put in place an appropriate plan
to field the number of rental units in the model (2022: same
assumption);
- that the company currently has the financial resources to
build the number of rental units and that there is no requirement
at present to raise additional income from new fund raises (2022:
same assumption), whilst noting that additional scenarios are
continuously under evaluation to provide financing to further
accelerate fleet build-up;
- applying a discount rate to cashflow of 25% (2022: 13.4%)
assessed by a review of discount rates for projects within similar
and competing sectors which was considered to provide a reasonable
estimate of a weighted average cost of capital for a company
benefiting from the assumed roll out;
- that the field testing is successful and completed and that
the technology can be rolled out commercially from 1 January 2024
without any fundamental developmental challenges.
Changes to the above assumptions would impact the valuation
assessment.
The Directors believe that the key sensitivities in the
valuation are as follows:
(i) The directors have assumed a phased build-up of rental units
to be in operation in each key region from 1 April 2024 onwards.
Sensitivity workings with a reduction to the total of 10 rental
units showed a decrease in valuation by between $2 million to $4
million.
(ii) The discount rate applied to the cashflows. Sensitivity
workings with a discount rate 5% higher at 30% would decrease the
valuation by between $3.0 million and $6.0 million.
(iii) Inflation - an increase in the inflation assumption above
that assumed by the directors valuation of 5%.
(iv) Growth rates - The directors have assumed growth rates in
revenues of 33% once the SABER business has been established,
resulting from the fleet expansion.
The Directors have not accounted for the possibility of any
onerous obligations arising with the contracts as there is no
reason to expect that these will arise at this stage in the
business life cycle.
Currently the SABER project is towards the end of the
development phase and is forecast to be cash generating from 31 May
2024.
