Chief Executive's Review
2021 is proving to be a milestone year for VRE, with take-up of the Group's ENGAGE platform accelerating. VRE is focused on becoming a leading global provider of virtual communications solutions through ENGAGE and its three solutions: Virtual Campus, Virtual Office, and Virtual Events.
More and more companies and organisations worldwide have turned to VR as a communication tool to combat 'Zoom Fatigue' and take advantage of the technology's interactivity to host events, meetings and training sessions. This is set to continue as the technology becomes more accessible, and the drive to live more sustainably, and reduce travel, picks up pace.
The number of commercial customers has increased to over 130 since ENGAGE's launch in May 2019. We have also seen significant progress in our roll-out in China through our partnership with HTC.
The metaverse is the next evolution of ENGAGE. Inspired by the VR simulation known as OASIS in the book and film 'Ready Player One', ENGAGE Oasis will be an always-on, fully persistent virtual world, where ENGAGE clients can meet and sell products and services directly to each other.
With ENGAGE Oasis scheduled for launch in 2022 and backed by our successful fundraising, we believe VRE has a very exciting future.
ENGAGE
The significant growth in the commercial use of the Group's ENGAGE platform has been reflected in our revenue. ENGAGE revenue has increased more than four-fold to €0.9 million (2020: €0.2 million). ENGAGE revenue comprises 72% of total Group revenue up from 33% during the same period in 2020. While VRE sells Showcase Experiences on various VR platforms which perform well, the Group's ENGAGE platform revenue now dominates.
Over the last six months, the uptake of VRE's services demonstrates the broad appeal and versatility of the platform across its three current solutions: Virtual Campus, Virtual Office, and Virtual Events. Major developments include:
· New customers include Abbott Laboratories, KPMG, MongoDB and the US State Department. A major US multinational client with a market cap of more than US$100 billion signed a six-figure deal for an event to showcase its product innovation, history, and sustainability initiatives. One of the world's leading consumer goods companies (in the world Top 100 companies by revenue) has become an ENGAGE client
· There have been a number of client renewals. For example, Facebook, an ENGAGE client since August 2020, has renewed its enterprise account and doubled the number of user licences it has since its initial contract.
· We have seen the expansion of ENGAGE to the Middle East for the first time through two commercial agreements in the United Arab Emirates. One for a global event for 12 international police forces, and one for a commercial licence with custom development work
· A BMW i Motorsport event was hosted on the ENGAGE platform on 1 July 2021. The event was the world's first fully immersive Formula E experience, showcasing the technology, engineering, and drivers of Formula E.
Development of ENGAGE platform
The Group continues to invest in the development of ENGAGE to improve the user experience and expand its reach. In the last 12 months, we have launched ENGAGE Mobile to support Android phones and tablets and an iOS version to support iPhones and iPads, which allows the ENGAGE audience to attend virtual events without the requirement for a VR headset or device. ENGAGE launched on the Facebook/Oculus Quest Store in November 2020 with Facebook now an official user of the ENGAGE platform using it regularly for customer facing events and meetings. ENGAGE is now available to a global audience including mainland China and is one of only a handful of communications platforms accessible to such a large audience on a range of different devices.
We expect to see ENGAGE supported on new devices from currently unannounced vendors in the future as more social media platforms and hardware manufacturers enter this space. The latest entrant is Tik Tok with its purchase of VR hardware manufacturer, Pico.
ENGAGE Oasis
In June 2021, VRE announced the planned development of a new fully featured corporate metaverse, codenamed "ENGAGE Oasis" - with the launch expected in the first half of 2022.
Development is progressing well. ENGAGE Oasis is planned as a new digital world where businesses, professional users, educators, and digital artists can connect and provide services directly to each other and to the public. It is primarily designed for professional events, team collaboration, remote performances, online subscription services, distance learning and unique art displays.
The goal of ENGAGE Oasis is to provide a framework for corporations and businesses to build their own unique MetaWorlds which are accessible directly by customers.
ENGAGE Oasis provides unparalleled customisation options for users allowing for unique digital spaces to be created easily and linked together in a fully persistent digital world. MetaWorld builders inside ENGAGE Oasis construct the visible locations for users to visit and the rules and laws that govern any given MetaWorld location. As an example, they can set a dress code for their location or provide access to features depending on the visiting user type. MetaWorld Builders can also appoint a moderation team to patrol the location, ensuring a safe environment is maintained where needed.
The app tools within ENGAGE Oasis mean no programmers are needed. ENGAGE Oasis provides a set of templates, making it easy to deploy a customer's personal MetaWorld quickly. They pick the template they want, upload their logo, place the branded items in their MetaWorld, and they are ready to go. Other more in-depth options are being developed to allow simple block construction using a mixture of templated options and 3D objects in templated spaces.
The ENGAGE Oasis marketplace will be open to all users inside the platform. It will have various items for sale and additional services for MetaWorld owners wishing to generate revenue inside the platform. These include digital goods, such as 3D models and avatar clothing, event ticketing where users can set up their own events and sell tickets to other users to attend, and subscriptions, where owners can charge a subscription fee for users to access a location or subscribe to private content they have created. ENGAGE Oasis will receive a commission for the provision of all services within the platform.
ENGAGE Oasis aims to be the spatial services platform for creative builders, innovative brands, exciting educators, and the professional public.
Partnership with HTC
China is the fastest-growing immersive market in the world. Our strategic partner HTC Corporation, a world leader in VR and mobile computing, has commenced selling its ENGAGE product, known as VIVE Sessions in China, as part of a software bundle with HTC's new headset, the VIVE Focus 3 XR. HTC is bundling a three-month free licence for the VIVE Sessions product as part of the VIVE XR Suite with every new VIVE Pro 2 and VIVE Focus 3 device. Furthermore, VIVE Sessions will be included with new HP ProBook laptops being sold in the region, as announced on 12 May 2021.
The VIVE Focus 3 XR is designed for education and enterprise use. HTC expects that it will be one of the most advanced mobile XR devices on the market, providing superior display resolution and processing power, compared to the current other most popular devices.
HTC regularly uses the ENGAGE platform for virtual conferences and virtual meetings. In May, HTC held two live virtual events on the ENGAGE platform, as part of VIVECON and V2EC conferences, and broadcast to a global audience through social media. As a sizeable shareholder, HTC has a strong vested interest in the continued growth of the Group as a whole.
Medium Term Outlook
Based on the strong traction demonstrated by the increased use of the ENGAGE platform and the expanding product range, VRE is making good progress towards its medium-term financial objectives for 2023 - 2025. These were announced in January 2021, and are as follows:
· Target of reaching €10 million annual ENGAGE revenue milestone, 500 active Enterprise customers and 100,000 monthly users during 2023 - 2025:
· Target only reflects current ENGAGE offering and doesn't reflect huge opportunity from ENGAGE Oasis
· Annual ENGAGE revenue CAGR in excess of 100%
· 10% average month-on-month increase in users to reach 100,000 monthly users, reflecting a target 500 active Enterprise customers;
· Customer retention rate of 80%+;
· Growth in average annual contract value to €20,000+, reflecting the nature of emerging Enterprise client base and optimal contract value; and
· Target Group gross margin in excess of 80%
Outlook
The first six months have seen the continued growth of ENGAGE, building on the trends of 2020, as more and more companies and organisations around the world see VR as a better way of communicating.
The pandemic has had a major impact on the use of ENGAGE, which is set to continue as the technology becomes more accessible, and the drive to live more sustainably, and reduce travel, picks up pace.
We have seen major developments in the first six months, including the roll-out of our software in China through our partnership with HTC, passing the milestone of 100 commercial customers, and VRE entering new markets, including the Middle East. In addition, the development of our new corporate metaverse ENGAGE Oasis is set to build our product offer further and create even more demand.
We have continued to hire new talent, and ahead of the launch of ENGAGE Oasis, we are strengthening our sales operation, with a particular focus on the US.
Our outlook is more exciting than ever as VR comes of age as a business communications tool.

Financial Review
Revenue for the half year is up 83% on the prior half year to €1,248k (H1 2020: €681k), driven by a continued acceleration in revenue from the ENGAGE platform.
ENGAGE revenue as a percentage of total revenue grew significantly in the period and comprised 72% of total revenue in the period (H1 2020: 33%).
EBITDA loss was €1.0m comparable to the prior year period (H1 2020: loss of €0.9m). The primary cost driver for the EBITDA loss is salary and associated costs, currently approximately €0.3m per month.
Loss before tax was €1.3m, in line with management expectations, compared to a loss in the prior year of €1.1m.
The combination of operating cashflows and capital expenditure in H1 2021 were €1.3m compared to just €1.0m in H1 2020 . The current cash burn rate, net of revenue received, post period end is approximately €0.25m per month but is expected to decline as revenues continue to grow.
At 30 June 2021, the Group had a strong cash position with net cash of €9.2m following an oversubscribed placing in June 2021.

Notes to the Interim Report
1. Basis of Preparation
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union ("IFRS") and expected to be effective at the year-end of 31 December 2021.
The accounting policies are unchanged from the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. The interim financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, prepared in accordance with IFRS, have been filed with the Companies Registration Office. The Auditors' Report on these accounts was unqualified, but did include an emphasis on the Groups ability to continue as a going concern in light of the impact of COVID-19. The opinion given was not modified as a result of the emphasis and did not contain any statements under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The consolidated interim financial statements are for the 6 months to 30 June 2021.
The interim consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS's as adopted by the European Union.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company
No new standards or amendments have been adopted for the first time in these financial statements:
Intangible Assets
Research costs are expensed as they are incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique commercial software controlled by the Company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
- it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use and sale;
- management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
- there is an ability to use or sell the software product;
- it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate future economic benefits;
- adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and use or
- sell the software product are available; and
- the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably
- measured.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and subcontracted development costs.
Other development expenditure that does not meet these criteria is recognised as an expense as incurred.
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed 3 years and commences after the development is complete and the asset is available for use. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern of consumption of the underlying economic benefits. Amortisation is included in 'Administrative Expenses'.
