Executive summary
Financial impacts:
• TCS current revenue is growing as the technology is being commercialised
• TCS’ leading technology under Atomos control is expected to drive significant growth in revenue within 12-18 months
• Significant synergies through 30% reduced production costs and sales uplift from rebranding and leveraging Atomos’ distribution channel and marketing
• TCS is expected to be earnings accretive in FY21
Risk mitigation:
• TCS hold a number of patents over their developed IP providing protection from the introduction of similar competitor offerings
• TCS has a proven track record of performance, in addition to Atomos being a current licensee
• TCS tech is already working on complex multicamera shows for TVs and movies with the following:

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

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

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

TCS key management
• 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.
