Overview
• Timecode Systems Limited is the UK based global leader in the provision of accurate timecode and metadata, synced and shared wirelessly over RF and WiFi /
BlueTooth. The IP underlying its products is protected by a series of patents
• Whilst it has been feasible for decades to synchronise devices via cable, TCS has developed the next generation of this technology, achieving accurate wireless
synchronisation of different devices, e.g. phones, professional audio recorders and cameras
• TCS sync technology works across all multicamera and multisound devices and formats (standard platform, 360VR and motion capture) using any combination
of cameras, from large scale film cameras, to DSLRs, GoPros and iPhones
• Like Atomos, TCS is working with audio and video companies including Panasonic, JVC, Nikon, GoPro, Zoom, Sound Devices, Mavis, Apogee, Adobe and ARRI to
develop new bespoke applications for their wireless protocol and APIs
• The following case studies provide more detail of how the TCS products are used in the field:

Risks associated with the acquisition of TCS
The TCS acquisition is reliant on Atomos raising funds under the Placement to fund the cash component of the consideration. The capital raising is not being underwritten, so there is a risk
Conditions to that Atomos may not raise sufficient funds from the capital raising to complete the acquisition if any investors were to default on settlement. If this was the case, Atomos will consider
acquisition other funding options. Atomos may seek to obtain alternative funding by issuing additional shares or borrowing money. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders
and any debt financing (if available) may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit Atomos’ operations and business strategy.

TCS is currently loss-making but expected to be earnings accretive in FY21. Atomos has undertaken financial, tax, legal and commercial analysis on TCS in order to determine its

opportunities TCS are different to those indicated by Atomos’ analysis, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of Atomos may be materially different from the
profitability and earnings expected as reflected in this presentation.

The acquisition of TCS involves the integration of TCS’ business, which has previously operated independently to TCS. As a result there is a risk that the integration may be more complex
Integration risk than currently anticipated, encounter unexpected challenges or issues (including maintaining the current culture of the TCS business and the successful integration and reliance on TCS key

General risks associated with Atomos
Atomos competes against other video technology companies. Atomos faces the risk that (amongst other things) existing competitors could increase their market share through aggressive sales and marketing
Competition risk campaigns, product research and development or price discounting, Atomos may fail to anticipate and respond to changing opportunities, technology or customer requirements as quickly as its competitors
or new market entrants into the video technology industry could develop products which compete with Atomos’ products.

The development and release of new products, including those utilising TCS technologies, or the adoption of these new products by OEM licensees and end users, may take longer than expected or such new
Launch of new
products may not be well received by customers as a result of various reasons including (amongst others) the new products not being well priced when compared with competing products or the new
products
products lacking a strong feature that resonates with customers.

Atomos does not have formal written contracts in pace with a majority of its distributors who order and purchase products from Atomos on an ad hoc basis with no minimum purchase order obligations. This

represents a risk of current sales revenue not being replicated. Atomos’ customers and distributors may decide not to continue to place purchase orders in the future or at the same level as in prior periods.
distributors
As a result, Atomos’ operating performance may vary from period to period and may fluctuate significantly in the future.

There are certain components for which Atomos has a single or limited source of supply. Accordingly, there is a risk that if the supplier was to cease supply, this could cause a disruption to Atomos’ ability to

deliver its products. Further to this, Atomos would have difficulty in sourcing alternative suppliers for certain of these components which are only available from a single source.

The loss of key members of the management team or members of the design and engineering teams, or any delay in their replacement, may adversely affect Atomos’ ability to implement its strategies and
Ability to retain or
may also adversely affect Atomos’ future financial performance. Atomos performance and future success depends on its continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled
attract key personnel
personnel for all areas of the organisation. Competition for qualified employees in Atomos’ industry is intense.

Failure to manage Atomos will need to continue to invest in sales and marketing and other systems and processes to support the development of its business (including post acquisition of TCS) if Atomos gains significant market
growth share over and above its current short-term expectations. If this is not done in a timely, robust and efficient way to handle projected growth it may negatively impact on Atomos’ financial performance.

The value of Atomos’s products is dependent on Atomos’ ability to effectively identify, protect, defend and in certain circumstances keep secret, its intellectual property (including the intellectual property of
Intellectual property
TCS post acquisition). Actions Atomos takes to protect its intellectual property may not be adequate or enforceable and therefore may not prevent the misappropriation of its IP and proprietary information.

Breach of third party


There is a risk that third parties may allege that Atomos’ products use intellectual property derived by them or from their products without their consent or permission. Atomos may be the subject of claims
intellectual property
which could result in dispute or litigation, which could result in monetary damages, cause delays and increase costs, and have an adverse impact on Atomos’ operations, reputation or financial performance.

Inability to pay There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid on shares in Atomos in the future, as this is a matter to be determined by the Board in its discretion and the Board’s decision will have regard to, amongst
dividends other things, the financial performance and position of Atomos, relative to its capital expenditure and other liabilities.

Atomos may in the future elect to issue new shares or engage in capital raising to fund ongoing working capital requirements of Atomos or acquisitions that Atomos may decide to make. While Atomos will be

TCS key management

Paul Scurrell – CEO and Co-Founder


• Brings 30 years of professional audio and engineering experience in TV and Radio to his role as co-founder and CEO of Timecode
Systems.
• Paul founded TCS in 2012 with an exciting new concept for a wireless timecode solution and an ambitious vision.
• Through TCS’s ground-breaking application of wireless technologies, it’s now simple for any filmmaker to capture precisely
synchronized multi-angle video content. Applicable for filming with PRO cameras, DSLRs, wearables or smartphones.
• Having steered the company through rapid growth and several years of R&D investment, Paul is now commercialising the technology
across many verticals.

Paul Bannister – CTO and Co-Founder


• Brings over 30 years experience in hardware, firmware, wireless, FPGA and software design to his role as CTO and co-founder of
Timecode Systems.
• Previous experience in airport security design, encryption systems, analogue audio and gaming algorithm design.
• Paul has a deep understanding of how wireless technology can be deployed to enhance video production workflows. Driven by a

protocols and implementations from the ground up.
• Many of these designs and protocols are now patented and form a solid foundation to create new products, licensing and OEM
opportunities.

© Atomos 2019 | Strategic Acquisition & Capital Raising 24


TCS technology

• TCS’s leading wireless sync technology is unique, allowing reliable performance over long distances and in crowded environments.
• TCS can transmit timecode at a longer range and lower more robust radio frequency due to the use of 900MHz shorter wave which is a very
stable wave band. There is little to no interference from congestion or other channels (such as 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz). Competitors use 2.4 or 5.0.
• TCS addresses the issue of being compatible with wireless standards like Bluetooth and WiFi by providing a bridge between their proprietary
sub-gigahertz network and these other standard wireless networks.
• The timecode and sync data is transmitted to receiving OS X, iOS, Windows and Linux devices.
• This way, you get the best of both worlds: a reliable and long range "backbone" which works in any environment but can interoperate with
prevailing wireless network standards. TCS products are the only system to offer the dual transmission method (stable radio frequency +
consumer protocols) and this is patented.
