CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Operational

We continue to focus on a small number of key accounts in order to drive revenues. Amongst these are PHB Choices and CII marketplace, both of which are in the on boarding phase for suppliers.

With PHB Choices we have had good uptake with CCG's to date, and are now working with them to ensure that their suppliers are live in order to bring on the personal budget holders. Whilst there is no mandate for the CCG's to use PHB Choices, it has been welcomed by the CCG's as it provides a scalable, transparent and auditable solution to the challenges posed by the roll out of PHB's. We have agreed to waive the fixed fees for the initial CCG's in order to encourage rapid -----adoption.

The CII marketplace is live and suppliers are gradually coming on board.

To date, there are over 400 suppliers registered with over 7,000 products able to be purchased. Once a critical mass of suppliers and products is achieved, CII and cloudBuy will increase marketing efforts to attract buyers to the marketplace.

We are pleased to have won new licenced based contracts with HealthShare NSW in April 2016 and, post period end, University of Exeter in July 2016.

The purchasing portal for the York Region District School Board in Canada is nearing pilot. This has progressed in line with management's expectations during the 6 month project to implement finance integration and develop new functionality for the wider Ontario schools market. This will be beneficial as we target other schools' boards in North America. To date, 22 boards have expressed an interest in our solution, out of a total addressable market of 72. Our experience with York Region will enable us to roll out future projects in a quicker time frame. A small amount of revenue was recognised in the first half with higher revenue expected to be recognised in the second half of 2016.

More generally we have an active pipeline of eProcurement prospects across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, India and the Middle East. This is our traditional business and these are licence revenue opportunities, as opposed to transactional revenue from the new marketplaces.

In Egypt we have progressed rapidly from an introduction by Visa in February to signing a 3 way memorandum of understanding between cloudBuy, Visa and Efinance. The whole country initiative for all cloudBuy technologies was launched by UK Trade Envoy, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson MP and Yasser ElKady, Egyptian Minister of Communications and Information Technology on 26(th) July. The initiative is supported by the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce and the Union of African Chambers of Commerce.

The cost control initiatives are continuing, as part of these, we are restructuring the Coding International Limited subsidiary which has resulted in the redundancy of 4 of the 7 employees. Revenue from this business is down by nearly 50% in H1.

Funding

We are delighted to have agreed the financing package with Roberto Sella and associates totalling GBP5.75m which was approved in a shareholders meeting on 26 April 2016. To date, GBP3.274m has been utilised.

Financial Results

Turnover decreased by 11% from H1 2015 to GBP0.785m, turnover decreased by 9% from H2 2015.

Administrative expenses, excluding share based payments, decreased to GBP2.643m (2015: GBP3.658m).

After a charge for share based payments of GBP0.348m (2015 GBP0.217m), the operating loss decreased to GBP2.347m (2015 GBP3.163m).

Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2016 were GBP1.947m (30 June 2015: GBP1.917m) reflecting the losses incurred, offset by the Roberto Sella financing

Net assets as at 30 June 2016 were GBP(0.497m) compared to GBP2.025m at 30 June 2015.

Outlook

The Company's realignment of its cost base will continue throughout the remainder of the year.

Revenue from projects already won should result in an increase in revenue in the second half of the year compared to the first and deliver a full year performance in line with last year, as well as providing contribution in the coming years.

Going forward, we believe that the current contracted mix of licenced business together with larger transaction based revenue projects will enable us to grow revenues in the medium term, whilst also developing further opportunities.

Contribution from new wins in the year should result in some increase in revenue in H2 over H1.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   1.             Basis of preparation 

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015 and the interpretation of those accounting standards underlying the accounting policies. IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, has not been applied. The interim financial statements have been issued in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange and are unaudited. The financial information set out does not constitute statutory accounts for the purposes of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The auditors' report on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015 which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.

This announcement which was approved by the board of cloudBuy plc on 11 August 2016 will be published on the company's website at www.cloudbuy.com.
