The following amendment(s) has (have) been made to the Interim Results announcement released on 16 August 2017 at 07:00 under RNS No 0902O.

The Financial Results paragraph of the Chairman's Statement incorrectly referred to the cash and cash equivalent held by the Company as at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015. This paragraph has been amended to reflect the balance held at 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 and now reads as follows:

"Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2017 were GBP1.469m (30 June 2016: GBP1.947m) reflecting the losses incurred, offset by the Roberto Sella financing."

All other details remain unchanged.

The full amended text is shown below.

Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2017

cloudBuy plc (AIM: CBUY), the global provider of cloud-based ecommerce marketplaces and B2B buyer and supplier solutions, today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

Key Points

Operational

-- PHB Choices making positive progress with 25% of CCG's either contracted or in advanced discussions.

   --      Contracts won in 2016 continue to generate revenue. 

-- The impact of cost reductions made in 2016 and in 2017 have significantly reduced the cost base.

Financial

   --      Revenue increased by 4% from H1 2016 to GBP0.819m. 

-- Administrative expenses, excluding share based payments, decreased by 34% to GBP1.733m (2016: GBP2.643m).

-- After a charge for share based payments of GBP0.248m (2016: GBP0.348m), the operating loss decreased by 45% to GBP1.296m (2016: GBP2.347m).

-- Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2017 were GBP1.469m (30 June 2016: GBP1.947m) reflecting the losses incurred, offset by the Roberto Sella financing.

-- Management expectations are for revenue and operating profit, excluding share based payments, to be broadly in line with market expectations for 2017.

Ronald Duncan, Executive Chairman of cloudBuy, commented, "During the first half of the year we continued to make positive progress with PHBChoices through our customer, NHS SBS. This remains our main focus for growth, supplemented by contracts already won around the world and a limited number of new opportunities including in the Middle East.

The expected progress on these key contracts and cost reduction measures already taken will result in a significantly lower loss for 2017 compared to 2016."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Operational

We continue to focus on our key projects.

PHBChoices

Our Marketplace for Personal Health Budgets (PHB's) is showing considerable promise with around 25% of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG's) either contracted or engaged in advanced discussions and a strong pipeline across the remainder. Working with the early adopters, our customer, NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) has developed a compelling business case for CCG's to use PHBChoices. PHB's are projected to represent GBP7bn of NHS Spend by 2020/21 with 100,000 budget holders planned. Working with our current CCG's, NHS SBS has identified significant efficiencies and savings when PHBChoices is deployed: the ratio of PHB's able to be managed by each CCG staff member increases fivefold and there are additional cash releasing savings of around 25% of amounts spent.

The majority of PHB's currently in place employ personal assistants (PA's) rather than using care suppliers. Recognising this and to increase the breadth of the offer, NHS SBS Employment Services have added a payroll solution to PHBChoices to include PA's alongside the 400,000 NHS staff members they currently pay. From a cloudBuy perspective we have developed a PA module which covers PA booking, time-sheets, time and attendance and feeds directly into the payroll service ensuring that we have a fully electronic solution. On average PHB holders employ 4 PA's, however this can increase to 10 or more for individuals with very complex health needs, making this a critical area for the success of PHBChoices.

During the first half we engaged with CCG's and their PHB holders on a pilot basis as it became clear that we would have to develop a fully functional solution to PA's for this phase of take-on to be successful. This is now largely complete and from September CCG's are going live with standard contracts.

NHS England has increased the pressure on CCG's to hit their PHB targets and has introduced 'Markers of Progress' to track the progress of each CCG against their expected PHB numbers. This information is available in the public domain.

United Overseas Bank in Singapore

We are providing a marketplace for the bank's SME customers, giving access to special offers and competitive pricing from a range of flagship suppliers. The initial suppliers are all large organisations with whom the bank has a strategic relationship. The marketplace is now live in Singapore, with a wider Asia Pacific roll out being considered for Q4 and 2018. The contract is revenue generating with set up fees, SaaS licence and transaction fees payable to cloudBuy. We are currently working with the suppliers to integrate their booking and inventory systems with the UOB marketplace.

Confederation of Indian Industry

The CII marketplace in India has continued to develop with approximately 55,000 products featured and available for purchase. The majority of the content is manufacturing based and early transactions are subject to a request for quote rather than an ecommerce basket purchase. These early suppliers are receiving orders and a small number are interested in purchasing their own cloudBuy B2B websites as a consequence.

Egyptian Marketplace

We have started initial discovery work on our first project in Egypt with the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce under our MOU agreement with Visa and Efinance. Efinance, shares many of the characteristics of NHS SBS as it is a major supplier of outsourced services to the Egyptian government and private enterprises. This along with the involvement of Visa, gives additional confidence in the attractiveness of the prospect.

York Schools

Our project with the York Region District School Board in Ontario is now live and our client is showcasing the system to the 72 other school boards that can join in under the contract, along with the municipal governments. The contract is revenue generating with set up fees, SaaS licence and transaction fees payable to cloudBuy.

HealthShare New South Wales

Our flagship Spend Analytics project in Australia is live and providing spend analysis to 33 hospitals and health organisations in the region. We have identified significant savings opportunities for our client during implementation and this has generated further interest from other Australian States in using the product. The contract is revenue generating with set up fees and SaaS licence fees payable to cloudBuy.

Funding

During the half year, the final tranche of the Roberto Sella funding of GBP1.476m was utilised.

Financial Results

Turnover showed a small increase on 2016 with increased project revenue partially offset by non renewal of contracts in H2 2016 and lower revenue in Company Formation Services. Operating losses were reduced by GBP1.051m to GBP1.048m as a result of the reduction in administrative expenses and share based payments.

Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2017 were GBP1.469m (30 June 2016: GBP1.947m) reflecting the losses incurred, offset by the Roberto Sella financing.

Outlook

PHBChoices remains our key focus for future growth. Positive progress towards revenue growth from this contract has been made in H1 and is expected to continue for the remainder of 2017 and in future years. This will be supplemented with revenue from existing contracts and focussed new revenue opportunities.

Losses will continue to reduce through growth in revenue and the effect of costs reductions already implemented which will have a greater impact on the H2 cost base.

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 2016 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 2016 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 15 August 2017 will be published on the company's website at www.cloudbuy.com.

   3.             Loss per share (unaudited)
