Michael Jackson, Non-Executive Chairman, commented:

"The first half of 2016 has been a pivotal period for Access Intelligence, as the Group has continued to integrate the businesses of Cision UK Limited and Vocus UK Limited with its existing Vuelio operations as part of its strategic focus on reputation software. The Acquisition has increased the Group's H1 revenue from continuing operations by GBP3.5 million. The Group's strategic focus also prompted the divestment of the e-procurement solution provider Due North Limited in February 2016 and, subsequent to the balance sheet date, Access Intelligence secured significant investment into AITrackRecord Limited through reducing its shareholding to 20%. Following the 2016 divestments, the Group has undertaken a significant restructuring of its operations to reduce costs and to allow focus on its core business with a view to improving performance in 2017."

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to announce our results for the six months ended 31 May 2016, which have seen revenue from continuing operations increase by 173% as a result of our substantial acquisition in the reputation business during H2 2015. All companies that form part of the Group's continuing operations saw their revenue increase year-on-year, with the exception of AI Talent Limited. In addition to the GBP3.5 million of revenue added by the Acquisition, and despite a focus on integration, Access Intelligence Media & Communications Limited's saw a 1% increase in revenue whilst AIControlPoint's revenue increased by 13%. Whilst Access Intelligence Media & Communications Limited's revenue growth seems modest, its recurring revenue grew by 4% year-on-year, supported by significant new business wins. This recurring revenue growth was also hindered by the loss of two customers, who generated strong revenues but lower margins, as they required significant third party services to be bought in to support them. Excluding the impact of these two customer losses, recurring revenue would have grown by 8% year-on-year.

During the period, we have invested significant resources in developing the existing Vuelio product suite to deliver new functionality for existing customers and to support those customers joining Vuelio as part of the Acquisition. The original Vuelio product was focused on the public sector and regulated industries, so the current product investment has been designed to enhance the product and to create a like-for-like migration for the Acquisition's broader reputation customer base. Access Intelligence believes that this investment will enable the Group to offer an innovative and unique product suite in the reputation space.

Results for the half year

The Group's revenue from existing continuing operations increased to GBP2,050,000 (H1 2015 restated: GBP2,024,000), an increase of 1.3%. Furthermore, the Acquisition complemented the Group's existing reputation software platform and helped increase total revenue from continuing operations by a further GBP3,485,000 to GBP5,535,000. Recurring revenue for the first half of the year was GBP5,140,000, comprising 93% of total revenue (H1 restated: GBP1,909,000; 94%).

The Group's loss from existing continuing operations was GBP737,000 (H1 2015 restated: loss GBP471,000) which includes charges of GBP104,000 for depreciation and amortisation (H1 2015 restated: GBP146,000) and GBP18,000 for share based payments (H1 2015: GBP18,000). The Acquisition contributed a further loss of GBP432,000, including charges of GBP373,000 for depreciation and amortisation.

Cost of sales from existing continuing operations increased to GBP482,000 (H1 2015 restated: GBP431,000) and gross margin was 76% (H1 2015 restated: 79%). Cost of sales relating to the Acquisition totalled GBP2,085,000, resulting in total cost of sales from continuing operations of GBP2,567,000 and gross margin of 54%.

Operating costs from existing continuing operations increased to GBP2,102,000 (H1 2015 restated: GBP1,945,000), with operating costs from the Acquisition being GBP1,831,000. Total operating costs from continuing operations were GBP3,933,000.

The basic loss per share from continuing operations was 0.37p (H1 2015 restated: loss 0.20p).

The Group had cash at the end of the period of GBP2,488,000 (H1 2014: GBP1,685,000).

Strategy

Access Intelligence delivered on our commitment to simplify Group operations following the Acquisition. To achieve this, the Group completed the divestment of Due North, with the proceeds of the sale used to repay some of the loan notes issued to fund the reputation management acquisition in the prior year and cover the R&D expenses associated with the integration of the acquired business.

Following the half year period end, the Group completed the divestment of AITrackRecord Limited into a new investment vehicle, with Access Intelligence retaining a 20% stake of the newly formed joint venture (see Subsequent Events). The divestment enabled us to dramatically reduce Group costs and keep a small development presence at the York Centre of Excellence (CoE).

The rationalisation of Group structure gave us the opportunity to streamline senior management, both creating the most appropriate employee structure for the business and maximising levels of investment in sales, service delivery and development.

The half year in focus

Reputation and Risk Management Software Portfolio:

Vuelio (AIMediaComms and AIMediaData):

The combination of AIMediaComms Ltd with the acquired AIMediaData Ltd under the go-to-market brand Vuelio is all-but complete with regard to internal operations. We have made significant progress in moving clients on from legacy systems, and have taken the opportunity to offload a number of loss-making clients inherited as a result of the Acquisition.

Our ongoing work to bring all programs on to a single standardised platform continues under a new Head of Product with significant experience both in product innovation and product development in the media and communications industry. We have migrated over 40 per cent of the acquired client base to the new platform, including Continental Tyres, Amnesty International and Oxford Brookes University, and are continuing to develop functionality to support the migration of the remaining customers.

Much of the Vuelio offering is already available on one platform. The entire portfolio includes media and public affairs databases, and public relations and public affairs monitoring and analysis, as well as stakeholder relationship management and FOI services - full integration should bring significant opportunities at the highest level.

Although new business sales and customer retention were both impacted by the staggered delivery of functionality in the new platform, we have already benefited from cross-sell and upsell into the traditional AIMediaComms market, strengthening our relationships with clients including the LSE, Buckinghamshire NHS Trust and Surrey Police and providing validation of our ongoing business strategy. At the same time, we are expanding the AIMediacomms product beyond its traditional base in public and third sectors and highly-regulated industries, with a broader portfolio solutions, attractive across all verticals.

AIControlPoint: AIControlPoint has made steady progress with its market diversification during the first half of the year, securing key wins in both core and new sectors despite the continuing downturn in the oil & gas industry. The current political climate is the catalyst for the surge in the number of organisations looking to improve emergency and crisis management capability. As a result of this, AIControlPoint has seen an increase in formal procurement processes in what was traditionally an 'educational sale' type market. Customer retention rates through 2015 and 2016 are strong, indicating that crisis management tools are becoming more and more a part of an organisation's fabric.

Disposal of Due North Limited

The sale of Due North was completed on 3 February 2016. Due North delivers e-procurement services but was considered non-core to the Group's strategic focus on SaaS in the reputation and risk management sectors. The net cash inflow received for the company after costs was GBP4,030,000 and the divestment resulted in a Group profit on disposal of GBP1,664,000.

Current Trading

The first half of 2016 was focused on the continued restructuring of the Group, with significant changes being implemented in respect of the Acquisition.

The Group has continued to make a significant investment in the Vuelio product, with expenditure in this area exceeding GBP0.36 million during the six-month period. These product enhancements have been designed to expand the functionality of the existing Vuelio platform and to ensure that acquired customers migrating from legacy platforms to Vuelio are able to do so on a like for like basis.

In addition, the Group has also incurred transition and migration costs in excess of GBP0.26 million in respect of the Acquisition. These costs are expected to continue through until the end of 2016 when acquired customers will be migrated and the Transitional Services Agreement will end.

During the period, the Group divested Due North and, subsequent to the balance sheet date, AITrackRecord Limited. Both of these divestments formed part of the Group's increasing focus on the reputation sector. Whilst profit during the period from discontinued operations was GBP1.08 million, this reflected a profit on disposal of GBP1.66 million offset by a trading loss from these businesses of GBP0.58 million.

Subsequent to the 2016 divestments, the Group undertook significant restructuring of its operations to reduce costs. The full impact of this restructuring and cost reduction will not be seen until the 2017 financial year.

Subsequent events

As announced, Access Intelligence agreed terms to dispose of 100% of its subsidiary AITrackRecord Limited to TrackRecord Holdings Limited, a newly formed company, on 1 July 2016. Consideration comprised 20% of the share capital of TrackRecord Holdings Limited and a deferred cash payment of GBP101,000, payable when a similar amount is received by AITrackRecord Limited from HMRC as a R&D tax credit for AITrackRecord Limited's business in the pre-acquisition period. Group profit on disposal of AITrackRecord Limited was GBP609,000.

TrackRecord Holdings Limited recently received GBP2.5 million in cash in return for 80% of the equity in the business, therefore we value Access Intelligence's 20% stake at approximately GBP0.7 million.

AITrackRecord was heavily loss making, and this divestment has enabled the Group to realise significant cost savings, both from the AITrackRecord company and across the wider business. Annualised cost savings as a result of the divestment are estimated to be approximately GBP2 million.

Notes

   1.         Unaudited notes 

Basis of preparation and accounting policies

The condensed interim financial statements for the six months to 31 May 2016 are unaudited and were approved by the Board of Directors on 16 August 2016.

The interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2015.

The interim financial information for the six months ended 31 May 2016, including comparative financial information, has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the last annual report and accounts, with the exception of the amendment to IAS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements) referred to below, and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may subsequently differ from those estimates.

In preparing the interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same, in all material respects, as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2015.

The Group has elected to present comprehensive income in one statement.

Going concern assumption

The Group manages its cash requirements through a combination of operating cash flows and long term borrowings in the form of convertible loan notes.

The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within its existing cash deposits and loan facilities.

Consequently, after making enquires, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim financial statements.

Information extracted from 2015 Annual Report

The financial figures for the year ended 30 November 2015, as set out in this report, do not constitute statutory accounts but are derived from the statutory accounts for that financial year.

The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 November 2015 were prepared under IFRS and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those accounts. Their report was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not include a statement under Section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

   2.       Earnings per share 

The calculation of earnings per share is based upon the (loss)/profit after tax for the respective period, for continuing operations only. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share is based upon the number of ordinary shares in issue in each respective period. This has been adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive share options granted under the company's share option schemes and in connection with the convertible loan notes in calculating the diluted earnings per share.

This has been computed as follows:
