The company is raising a maximum of A$6.5m via the issue of 32.5m shares at 20 cents.
On completion of the offer (assuming full subscription), ELS will see an EV of A$11.7m and net cash of approximately A$6.0m.
RM Corporate Finance have been appointed as Corporate Adviser and Lead Manager to the Offer.
ELSIGHT'S REVOLUTIONARY MULTICHANNEL TECHNOLOGY
Multichannel provides live video, audio and other data transmission, as well as recording capabilities, anytime and anywhere, via multiple 3G networks, Wi-Fi or satellite (CPE), keeping your video and data integrity constant at all times
The system extends the bandwidth capabilities of streaming video, audio and other data by aggregating unlimited number of network links (3G / LTE / ETH / SAT / Wi-Fi / Wi-Max) to transmit a single data stream with nearly zero latency
Multichannel can act as a standalone solution or a gateway to Elsight’s full range of products, thus expanding the visual reach in the field and providing decision-makers with the best online tools for taking the right action
This technology has been developed into a range of products, including portable devices, vehicle mounted and fixed/wall mounted devices for use for secured datalink in tactical security and surveillance situations, with potential for additional applications
High speed and optimised video quality with minimal latency due to unparalleled aggregated multi-channel scalable bandwidth
Solid and reliable "in motion" video and data transmission in extreme conditions due to the ability to determine and aggregate optional routes of transmission that allows for streaming in poor reception situations
Secured transmission due to the multichannel method of dividing the broadcast into numerous parts and transmitting them separately through different channels, thereby limiting interception (additional encryption is also available).
The technology is a combined hardware, firmware and software solution developed over a number of years with the combined tactical and technological expertise of the El-Sight Israel team and is difficult to imitate.
The technology is currently used by first responder and homeland security services in Israel including: SWAT and special forces teams; Israeli police services; Israeli emergency services; military and defence services.
The technology has recently been tested in emergency medical situations in France by enabling first responder paramedics to live stream an accident scene to a panel of doctors for consultation on actions to take based on the scene being viewed online and with high definition.
Following completion of the acquisition and the offer, the company will be focusing on the continuation of the commercialisation and ongoing development of the technology and growing profitable sales revenues.
BUSINESS MODEL
Elsight operates in a market expected to grow to $133 billion by 2020, where contracts signed are in the order of tens and hundreds of millions of dollars.
The company’s business model revolves around completing the acquisition and continuing the commercialisation of the technology.
El-Sight Israel has commenced commercialising the technology and to date has modest revenue streams. Business model is based on the expansion, through the funds raised under the offer, of the use of the technology both within Israel, but also to other countries around the world.
In addition, the company will seek to expand on the usefulness of the technology beyond its current military and security uses to be applied to new verticals, which may include: real-time high definition streaming for the media and broadcast markets; telemedicine; developing secure connections between business or government facilities; and usage in autonomous cars and trucks.
