CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
When I was appointed by the shareholders in August last summer it was clear to me that there was significant value in Bglobal that was not being reflected by its share price. With the support of the current Board and the commitment of all of the management teams throughout the group, as I write this today, I am pleased that the value we have realised from the sale of B Global Metering and of Utiligroup reflects more closely the impact of the substantial work that has been done over the past year.
I set out in my statement on 10 December 2013, as part of the interim results, the steps which had been undertaken to that point. Significant costs had been removed from Bglobal's head office, the business was re-focused on its customers and strict cash management procedures had been put in place. By the year end in March, the benefits of some of those changes were starting to be seen in the underlying performance of elements of the business. Staff channelled their energies into projects which had a short-to-medium prospect of financial return, such as sales of Utiligroup's software, and longer term projects were progressed at an appropriate pace to ensure that potential new business could be presented as an opportunity to the potential buyers of our businesses.
The current Board's focus has always been on enhancing shareholder value and, as recent announcements have demonstrated, our work on the Group's business divisions was part of a wider strategy to realise that value. Without the work we undertook as part of the strategic review and the costs that we removed from the Group, it would not have been possible to complete the sales at all, let alone at attractive valuations.
We received a number of approaches for different combinations of business units from bidders, who had different strategic goals. Throughout, the Board's approach was to analyse those bids with a view to ascertaining their successful delivery, not just in terms of execution risk, but also in terms of the ultimate return of cash to shareholders. KPMG assisted the Board in conducting a very thorough marketing exercise for each of the Group's key business units. The Board maintained all of the business divisions for minimal additional cost during this period. However, it soon became clear that closing Nutech and Bsmart was the most effective way of delivering shareholder value and this was done swiftly with minimal disruption to the other ongoing businesses. The Board's decisions have been vindicated by the completion of the prompt sales of both B Global Metering and Utiligroup on sensible terms and at acceptable values.
It has clearly not been a quiet year for the Group and I would like to thank all the staff, who united to work with an excellent team of advisors, to deliver our year end results and these two significant transactions. I personally am extremely grateful for the support of shareholders and my colleagues on the Board during this period of change and uncertainty.
Our focus now is to return money back to shareholders as quickly and in the most tax efficient and cost effective manner as possible, details of which are contained in a Circular being sent to shareholders today.

Chairman
CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
The year ended 31 March 2014 saw the start of a number of significant changes for the Group with the focus being on enhancing shareholder value. A strategic review was carried out in the autumn of 2013 and as a consequence of that review, the Group has since the year-end disposed of its two main subsidiaries, B Global Metering and Utiligroup. The remaining businesses, Nutech Training and Bsmart Energy Services were closed down during the period. Accordingly, apart from Bglobal plc, all of the other businesses within the Group have been classified as discontinued for the purposes of these accounts.
Revenue for the year ended 31 March 2014 from discontinued operations was GBP12.83 million (2013: GBP11.58 million - excluding Utilisoft Pty). The EBITDA loss for discontinued operations was GBP0.78 million before the GBP1.02m impairment charge (2013: GBP0.18 million before separately identifiable items). At the year end the Group had cash balances of GBP1.77 million (including assets held for sale) (2013: GBP3.02 million) and borrowings of GBP0.94 million (including assets held for sale) (2013: GBP0.97 million). Following the two disposals referred to above and after having repaid the loan and borrowing facilities that the Group had with Synergy Capital and Barclays Bank plc, the Group currently has cash balances (net of GBP1.98 million of costs and expenses incurred in carrying out the strategic review, in the sale of Bglobal Metering and Utiligroup, in closing down Nutech and Bsmart, and in dealing with certain shareholder and restructuring costs) of, in aggregate, GBP16.4 million.
Group Performance
Software and related services
Utiligroup performed well in the year with turnover increasing by over 50% to GBP6.70 million (2013: GBP4.41 million excluding Utilisoft Pty) and EBITDA increasing by 79% to GBP1.38 million (2013: GBP0.77 million before separately identifiable items). The business continued to build up a strong recurring revenue stream, which now stands at GBP5.44 million per annum. The 'Supplier in a Box(TM)' proposition continued to prove popular and in the year ended 31 March 2014, Utiligroup brought three new entrants into the UK energy market through this model. Each of these transactions includes an up-front fee and the sale of software and services thereby adding to Utiligroup's recurring revenue stream.
Metering and data services
B Global Metering failed to meet the Board's expectations and saw its revenue fall by 22% to GBP5.76 million (2013: GBP7.42 million) with the EBITDA loss increasing by 49% to GBP1.41 million in the period. The Board did remove significant cost from the business and sales did start to improve in the last quarter of the financial year as a number of energy suppliers sought to comply with the mandate to install smart meters into the premises of their larger industrial and commercial customers, so that by the year end, the company was trading almost at breakeven on a monthly basis.
Energy management services
Bsmart showed promise at the start of the financial year but this proved a false dawn and the decision was therefore taken to close this business down. In the year ended 31 March 2014, Bsmart's revenue increased to GBP0.47 million (2013: GBP0.07 million). However, its loss before tax was largely unaltered at GBP0.31 million (2013: GBP0.30 million).
Training Services
The delay in the mass rollout of smart meters severely impacted Nutech Training and revenue increased only slightly to GBP0.12 million (2013: GBP0.09 million) with the loss before tax increasing to GBP0.46 million (2013: GBP0.31 million). It was clear to the Board that this business was no longer sustainable and accordingly the decision was taken to close it down with effect from 31 March 2014.
Outlook
Since the end of the financial year, B Global Metering has been sold to Energy Assets Group plc for a cash consideration of GBP2.3 million and Utiligroup has been sold to a new company backed by NorthEdge Capital LLP for a cash consideration of GBP16.1 million. The Board intends to return cash to shareholders as soon as possible and will be writing to shareholders today with proposals and timing in this regard.
Finally, I would like to thank the Board and staff for their support during a very challenging period for the Group. I am confident that both B Global Metering and Utiligroup will flourish under their new owners and that the people in those businesses will thrive and continue to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves.

Notes to the preliminary results
1 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The preliminary financial information does not constitute full accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 but is derived from accounts for the years ended 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2013, both of which are audited. The preliminary announcement is prepared on the same basis as set out in the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2013. While the financial information included in this preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU), this announcement does not in itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRSs.
Bglobal plc is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The consolidated financial information of Bglobal plc set out in this announcement is presented in Pounds Sterling (GBP), which is also the functional currency of the parent. The consolidated financial information has been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 10 July 2014.
The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2014 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2014 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain any statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
2 GOING CONCERN
Notwithstanding the proposed return of capital to shareholders, the directors consider that the Group has sufficient financial resources and that, accordingly, the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. The directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully such risks being potential claims under the warranties and indemnities given to the buyer of each of B Global Metering and Utiligroup. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial information.

4 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Bglobal plc announced on 22 April 2014 that it had reached an agreement on 17 April 2014 with Energy Assets Group plc to dispose of the entire issued ordinary share capital of its metering business, B Global Metering Limited ('BGM'), for a cash consideration of GBP2.3 million, which includes payment of GBP0.2 million for the cash balance of BGM on completion. The disposal was made on a debt free basis with a working capital adjustment mechanism in place post completion. The sale and purchase agreement contains warranties and indemnities that are customary for a transaction of this nature.
Bglobal plc announced on 27 May 2014 that it had reached an agreement with a new company backed by NorthEdge Capital LLP to dispose of the entire issued ordinary share capital of Utiligroup Limited for a cash consideration of GBP16.1 million. The sale and purchase agreement contains limited warranties and indemnities that are customary for a transaction of this nature.
Accordingly, all assets and liabilities allocated to B Global Metering and Utiligroup were classified as a disposal group. Revenue and expenses relating to the discontinuation of these subgroups have been eliminated from the profit and loss from the group's continuing operations and were shown as a single item on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
In addition, prior to 31 March 2014 it was determined that each of Nutech Training Limited and Bsmart Energy Solutions Limited were no longer commercially viable and it was therefore agreed to try and sell each company and that if this was not possible to close each company. A sale of each company was not possible during the period and the decision was therefore taken to discontinue these operations with effect from 31 March 2014. As a result these are also included within discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Since 31 March 2014, certain of the assets of Nutech Training were sold to two third parties for value.

5 LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
Diluted loss per share are calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The loss for the year after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary shares for calculating the diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 March 2014 are identical to those for the basic loss per share. This is because the outstanding share options and shares arising on conversion of the convertible financial liabilities would have the effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share and would therefore not be dilutive.
