Commenting on today's results,
"The marine domain is critically important in many ways to everyone. And yet what goes on there is mostly unseen and remains a mystery. SRT is working to solve this global issue with our integrated marine domain systems that deliver Ai driven insight and intelligence to stakeholders that range from sovereign states seeking territorial and border security to mariners focused on safer and efficient navigation. Todays' results are indicative of the latent demand waking up to the availability of our systems and the valuable insight and intelligence they can access on demand. I believe we are right at the start of this global adoption."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
As expected, the commencement of multiple system projects during the year has had a substantial impact on our financial performance. SRT is harnessing proprietary Ai to deliver real insight and solutions to real world problems upon which our customers place significant value. Combined with our first mover market advantage, proven products and technologies, and established leadership in a large global market, we see this trend compounding into the future.
Revenues for the year ending
At year-end, unrestricted cash balances were
Our navigation safety business which provides specialist transceivers and devices that enable safer and more efficient vessel navigation and tracking, had a steady year where revenues remained flat. This is primarily due to a combination of a slower leisure market demand due to the fragile and fluctuating general economic conditions offset by growth in regulation driven sales.
We see considerable medium and long term opportunity in this market segment where we are well established with a global sales network of over 5,000 distribution and retail partners, established brands and proven products. As part of a work in progress strategy to take this business to a new level, we have continued to invest in the final completion of our NEXUS marine VHF/DSC/AIS radio product which we expect to commence shipping during the second half of the new financial year. NEXUS broadens our offer to include marine voice communications, and in future years we expect to further broaden the product portfolio to include digital onboard navigation and investigate other specialist areas such as aviation and
Our systems business delivers the SRT-MDA System border and territory surveillance system. This is a sophisticated, flexible and modular solution engineered as a national scale solution for sovereign agencies that can be built up and evolved over many years by a customer as a national integrated platform. It integrates multiple data sources derived from different sensor types and applies proprietary analytics to detect, identify and characterise maritime activity and events and provide high quality actionable insight, intelligence to national agencies such as Coast Guards,
Our
The implementation of these projects each entails a mixture of five key elements: infrastructure, SRT-MDA System Tech, Training & Organisational Transformation, Data Services and Ongoing Support. Infrastructure refers to things such as towers, buildings, power systems, boats. SRT-MDA System tech refers to items such as cameras, radars, and our GeoVS systems. Training refers to an organisational change program we deliver to enable the customer to transform to an Intelligence Lead Operations Doctrine and really use the SRT-MDA System as their primary and often only tool.
Data services refer to the delivery of a range of supplementary external data which range from satellite surveillance scans to processed Ai data tokens that we develop and insert into our system. Support refers to the long-term support of their system to keep it running reliably. The quantity and scale of each of these key elements is different for each customer.
During the year we have continued to build up our capacity in our system delivery (implementation), development and product management teams. In our delivery teams, the increasing scale and complexity of the projects has meant an evolution of capacity and skills sets to enable us to be in a stronger position to support existing customers with expected expansion of the systems we are currently implementing, as well as have the capacity to engage with new sovereign partners and the commencement of their system build ups. In our product management team, we have started to aggressively expand our data science team to include Ai data science research and we expect this initiative to start to add significant value in the form of innovative system functionality that delivers even greater insight to our customers.
The desire to understand marine domains coupled with border and territory security in general appears to be growing and this has been reflected in the growth of our validated sales pipeline of visible new contract opportunities valued at approximately
Outlook The outlook for our business is very positive, and growing, as the world seeks to acquire a new generation of integrated systems that empower them with insight and intelligence to secure borders, detect and deter illegal activities, navigate more safely, efficiently manage and sustain marine domains, and transform operations to an intelligence lead doctrine. SRT's pioneering strategic decision to enter this market years ago has allowed us the time to develop the extensive technologies and knowhow to deliver into this demand. In the short term, we are focused on delivering against our existing
