Chairman's Statement

The first half of 2017 was a productive and eventful period for Vipera.

In March we entered into an agreement with the Arab Bank for Investment & Foreign Trade ("Al Masraf") for a multi phase project covering the design, development and implementation of a mobile banking and bill payment solution.

At the end of April we announced the signing of our largest contract to date. The deal, worth an initial $2.4million will see us develop the next generation of omni-channel banking and payment solutions for one of the UAE's leading financial institutions. Also at that client we rolled out a mobile payment service fully integrated with Visa and Mastercard, and in particular for Mastercard it's one of the first converged wallets in the Middle East.

In early June we announced a multi-year agreement with Bankart to provide an Host Card Emulation (HCE) solution for its client banks. Bankart is a Payment Processor located in Slovenia but which operates across the Balkans region. The project which will deliver implementation income and volume based licence fees, will see Motif deployed in Slovenia to orchestrate Bankart's HCE processes. HCE is the new and universally recognised technology for implementing mobile contact-less payments.

Meanwhile, we have now completed the re-organisation relating to Codd & Date, announced last December. In parallel, we have now opened an office in Dubai: with a team permanently based in UAE, we will be better placed to serve our customers in the region.

We have also been looking at a range of options as to acquisitions and in July we signed a contract for the acquisition of SoftTelecom in Spain which will both give us additional resources for continued product development and, in particular, act as a launchpad for expanding Group sales into the Spanish market with a local delivery capability in the Iberian region.

We have been grateful for the support of our shareholders and at the same time as the acquisition, we raised an additional EUR2.5 million of capital, placed at a premium to the market price, to help fund both the acquisition and the continued growth of the group.

In recent years we have seen a stronger second half and we expect this trend to continue.

   1          Basis of preparation 

The financial information contained in this half year financial report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the half years ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 has been neither audited nor reviewed by the auditors.

The figures and financial information for the period ended 31 December 2016 are extracted from the latest published audited financial statements of the Group and do not constitute the statutory financial statements for that period.

The audited financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2016 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the independent auditors on those financial statements contained no qualification or statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and IFRIC interpretations. The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The statutory financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

The Group has applied consistent accounting policies in preparing the interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2017, the comparative information for the six months ended 30 June 2016, and the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2016.

As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing this interim financial information.

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 these half-yearly financial statements.

   3          Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the loss on ordinary activities after taxation by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. None of the share based payments were potentially dilutive at the year end and so there is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share.
