Amteus Plc
("Amteus" or the "Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 31 March 2009
Chairman's statement
Amteus, the provider of digital educational networking and media business,
announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2009.
Results
Revenue in the six months to 31 March 2009 amounted to GBP172,585 (2008:
GBP69,289) and the loss before and after tax was GBP969,419 (2008:
GBP1,606,480). Under the Company's revenue recognition policy, there was
GBP164,179 of deferred revenue held at the balance sheet date.
People
During the period the Company recruited a new management team. Len Sanderson was
appointed as CEO and Richard Addis was appointed as Editor in Chief and
Director. At the same time Jeffrey Morris stood down from the board. Peter
Rackham resigned from the board on 20 May 2009.
The Company currently employs 24 staff the majority of whom work in sales and
marketing.
Placing
On 19 May 2009, the Company raised, subject to inter alia shareholder approval
which was received earlier today, GBP1.99 million (after expenses) through a
placing of 32,844,866 new ordinary shares at 7p per share.
Post balance sheet events
The Company has entered into a number of agreements with both related and third
parties. The Company also took the opportunity to reorganise its capital
structure and to amend its articles of association. The details of all these
arrangements and amendments are contained within the circular that was issued to
existing shareholders on 20 May 2009. A copy of the circular is available on the
Company's website www.imjack.com.
The Product
The Company's main product, imJack, is a Web 2.0 based communication and
collaboration platform that enables teachers and parents to communicate securely
with, and guide, students, while removing the many dangers of using unregulated
public websites. It operates on what the Directors believe to be a secure system
by separating a defined user network from general internet traffic and by using
secure socket layer encryption technology to maintain privacy and security for
all users.
Students can use imJack to upload and download homework, share ideas and
collaborate with teachers and peers through messaging or video conferencing,
which is an integral part of the system. The platform is centrally
administered, so the school alone decides who can and cannot be part of the
network. imJack automatically logs and creates a permanent record of
communication between the parties on the system. This is only accessible by the
administrator for safety, security and legal reasons.
imJack facilitates live interactive collaborative working with features
including real-time drawing exchange, video conferencing and document management
allowing teachers and pupils to exchange documents and sketches, while
maintaining a video conference link. The software is offered as a package by
Amteus hosted on open source technology. Additional modules include an
interactive calendar, real time surveys and polls, as well as educational
content, tutorials, news aggregation and explanatory journalism.
The Amteus business model is to provide imJack free to schools, colleges and
universities and aims to generate income from both commercial sponsors and from
add-on services such as bespoke applications, special training and affiliate
partnerships. The Directors believe that offering the core product free to users
will increase the rate at which imJack is taken by schools and, as such,
increase the rate at which active users are secured. The Directors believe that
a higher number of active users will increase the Company's potential to
generate all types of revenue referred to above.
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
As an AIM listed company Amteus complies with IFRS.
Outlook
The Company has secured approval from the Department for Children, Schools and
Families ("DCSF") for all schools applying for redesignation through the
Specialist Schools and Academies Trust ("SSAT") to be offered imJack. Each
redesignating school taking up the imJack platform will be eligible for a
GBP15,000 credit towards the GBP25,000 qualifying criteria for a GBP25,000 DCSF
capital grant. The Government supported agreement with the SSAT covers over 80
per cent. of secondary schools in England. The SSAT has set an initial target to
roll out imJack to 1,115 of its 5,000 schools by September 2009. At 5 June 2009
the Company has rolled out imJack to 353 schools.
The e-Learning Foundation ("e-LF"), a national charity dedicated to ensuring
that every child in the UK has home access to technology for their studies, has
also signed an agreement with the Company for the roll out of imJack to all 312
e-LF affiliated schools by the end of 2009. The Company has only recently
started working with the e-LF and this agreement is expected to secure around
312,000 new imJack user licences by the end of 2009.
JD Connect Limited, on behalf of the Company, is also in negotiations with the
British Olympic Association for a contract which could result in Amteus
providing communication and training for all those participating in Olympic
sports including schools, clubs and training academies, albeit there can be no
guarantee that the agreement will be concluded or the actual terms of such
agreement.
The Directors are confident that we can build on the success of these contracts
as well continue to increase the number of educational establishments who have
been signed-up to date.
Going concern
The Directors acknowledge that in light of recent credit market conditions,
additional diligence on the part of preparers of accounts and members of audit
committees is required, and in particular, the need for clarity as to the basis
on which judgements have been exercised.
On 5 June 2009, the Company raised GBP1.99m (after expenses) through the issue
of shares, which will be admitted to AIM on 8 June 2009. The proceeds allow the
Company to settle certain creditors and provide additional working capital until
forecast sponsorship revenue is achieved.
The Directors have prepared a forecast, to September 2011, which assumes a
certain level of sponsorship revenue being achieved. In preparing the forecasts
the Directors have taken into account the experience and expertise of the two
Directors Len Sanderson and Richard Addis, in securing favourable sponsorship
contracts.
In the forecasts, the Directors have also relied upon the GBP500,000 loan
facility that the major shareholder has made available to the Company to provide
working capital.
The uncertainty of both achieving the forecast sponsorship revenue and of the
availability of shareholder support indicate material uncertainties.
Nevertheless after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described
above, the Directors have concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate
and that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future.
Further details are set out in note 1 to the interim report.

Independent review report to Amteus
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the interim financial report for the six months ended 31 March
2009 which comprises the condensed income statement, statement of recognised
income and expense, consolidated balance sheet, cash flow statement and related
notes 1 to 8. We have read the other information contained in the interim
financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements
or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of
financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim
Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued
by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the Company those matters we are required to state to them in an
independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by,
the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial
report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report
have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the Group intends
to use in preparing its next annual financial statements.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we
do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report
for the six months ended 31 March 2009 is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
Emphasis of matter - going concern
In forming our opinion on the interim financial statements, which is not
qualified, we have considered the adequacy of disclosures made in the interim
financial statements concerning the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern. These include the following material uncertainties:
* the dependency on the forecast sponsorship revenues being achieved; and
* the availability of the GBP500,000 loan facility from the major shareholder.
The existence of these material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore that it may
be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business.
In view of the significance of the fact that the preparation of the interim
financial statements on the going concern basis depends upon achieving the
forecast sponsorship revenues and the availability of shareholder support, we
consider that these disclosures should be brought to your attention.
The Directors have prepared these interim financial statements on the going
concern basis. If the adoption of the going concern basis was inappropriate,
adjustments, which it is not practicable to quantify, would be required,
including those to write down assets to their recoverable value, to reclassify
fixed assets as current assets and to provide for any further liabilities that
may arise.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
For the six months ended 31 March 2009
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The results for the six months ended 31 March 2009 and 31 March 2008 have been
reviewed, but not audited, by the auditors.
As Amteus is listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") the
consolidated financial statements are required to be presented in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The interim financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent
with IFRS. The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation
are followed in the interim financial statements as applied in the Group's
latest annual audited financial statements.
The financial information for the year ended 30 September 2008 does not
constitute statutory accounts for the purposes of section 240 of the Companies
Act 1985 but are derived from the statutory accounts for that year. The
statutory financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2008 received an
unqualified auditors' report, contained no statement under section 237(2) or (3)
of the Companies Act 1985 and have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The auditors have included an emphasis of matter paragraph in their audit
report, for the year ended 30 September 2008, to draw attention to the material
uncertainties associated with the dependency on the forecast sponsorship
revenues being achieved and the commitment of the major shareholder to not
request repayment of his loans to the company.
The existence of these material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Going concern
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis,
which assumes that the Group will continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future.
The Directors have prepared a forecast, to September 2011, which assumes a
certain level of sponsorship revenue being achieved. In preparing the forecasts
the Directors have taken into account the experience and expertise of the two
Directors Len Sanderson and Richard Addis, in securing favourable sponsorship
contracts.
In the forecasts, the Directors have also relied upon the GBP500,000 loan
facility that the major shareholder has made available to the Company to provide
working capital.
These material uncertainties, being the achievement of the forecast sponsorship
revenues and the availability of shareholder support, may cast significant doubt
on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it
maybe unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business.
Nevertheless after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described
above, the Directors have concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate.
If the adoption of the going concern basis was inappropriate, adjustments, which
it is not practicable to quantify, would be required, including those to write
down assets to their recoverable value, to reclassify fixed assets as current
assets and to provide for any further liabilities that may arise.
2. segment information
Analysis between activities is not presented as the Group's operations comprise
a single class of business. The Group's operations are located in Great Britain.
3. tax on loss on ordinary activities
There is no tax charge for the period.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
For the six months ended 31 March 2009
4. LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss after taxation by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue of 57,760,576 (31 March 2008:
40,453,278 shares and 30 September 2008: 46,299,585 shares).
