Brief explanation of revenue, net profit and dividends (distributions).
The consolidated entity achieved sales revenue for the period
of $5.578 million (2017: $5.859 million) representing a decrease
of 4.8% mainly due to the timing of pipeline conversion. EBITDA
for the period was a loss of $4.947 million (2017: EBITDA loss
$11.870 million).
The net result of the consolidated entity for the half year
ended 30 June 2018 was a loss after tax and minority interest
for the period of $7.747 million (2017: $14.403 million loss).
Loss per share was 0.8 cents (2017: loss per share 2.3 cents).
At the balance date (30 June 2018), it was apparent that a settlement
had been reached with a customer in relation to a legal claim
brought about by the Company, with a total value of $0.862 million.
The settlement resulted in the write back of provisions made
against previously impaired trade receivables balance. The write-back
has been recognised in Administration expenses in the profit
or loss.
During the period, there was a net cash outflow of $7.546 million
primarily resulting from a net outflow from operations of $5.978
million, dividends paid to minority interest of $0.142 million.
Cash at 30 June 2018 was $2.866 million.
(i) During the previous period the Company changed its reporting
date from 31 October to 31 December and as a result, the prior
period comparative information in this half year financial report
relates to 30 April 2017.

The net result of the consolidated entity for the half year ended 30 June 2018 was a loss after tax and minority interest for the period of $7.747 million (2017: $14.403 million loss). Loss per share was 0.8 cents (2017: loss per share 2.3 cents).

Subsequent events
Subsequent to balance date (30 June 2018), settlement agreements have been signed with two customers in relation to outstanding legal claims brought about by the Group, amounting to a total of approximately $2.071 million.
The first of these agreements, amounting to $0.862 million, was in agreed form at balance date and as such, the settlement resulted in the write back of provisions made against previously impaired trade receivable balance. Cash to the total amount was received by the Group after the balance date.
Negotiations for the other settlement agreement only commenced after the balance date and as such, no adjustments were made to the provisions in place at the balance date. However, since that time, the agreement has been signed and an amount of $1.209 million has been received by the Group, of which $0.613 million was held as a provision against previously impaired trade receivables balance.

Independent Auditor's Review Report
to the Members of eServGlobal Limited
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of eServGlobal Limited, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed statement of cash flows and the condensed statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of eServGlobal Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, 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 Australian Auditing Standards 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.
Auditor's Independence Declaration
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of eServGlobal Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of eServGlobal Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1(c) Going Concern in the half year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $7.689 million and had net cash outflows from operations of $5.978 million during the half year ended 30 June 2018. As stated in Note 1(c), these conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 (c), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in this respect.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
The half year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half year financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
(b) Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The Company is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with this Corporations Instrument amounts in the directors' report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company's 2017 annual financial report for the financial year ended 31 December 2017, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
During the previous period the Company changed its reporting date from 31 October to 31 December and as a result, the prior period comparative information in this half year financial report relates to 30 April 2017.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group adopted all of the relevant new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Since 1 January 2018, the following Standards are effective and applicable for the Group:
(i) AASB 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'
(ii) AASB 9 'Financial Instruments'
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(i) AASB 15: 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'
The Group has applied AASB 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' for the first time in the current period. AASB introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition. Under AASB 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when 'control' of the goods or services underlying a particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
AASB 15 uses the terms 'contract asset' and 'contract liability' to describe what was previously classified as 'work in progress' and 'deferred revenue'. The Group has adopted the terminology used in AASB 15 to describe such balances.
The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
-- Software solution services (being a software licence and integration with customer systems); -- Support and maintenance services; -- Sale of Hardware; and -- Sale of generic stand-alone software licences.
Under the Group's previous revenue recognition policy, revenue from the sale of software licences when sold in conjunction with integration services (including installation and configuration) were generally treated as separate performance obligations with the associated revenue recognised on satisfaction of each separate performance obligation, at a point in time for the software licence and over time for the integration services. Under AASB 15, the sale of software licences in conjunction with integration services is treated as a single performance obligation ("software solution services") with revenue recognised over time as the single performance obligation is performed, generally over the period the software solution service is completed. The Group has adopted the revised accounting policy related to revenue recognition in relation to the software licence component in order to comply with AASB 15.
Under AASB 15, the revenue recognition for each of the above is as follows:
Performance Obligation Revenue stream Timing of Recognition
Provision of integrated Software solution Over time as the integrated
software solution services software solution service
service is provided.
------------------------ ----------------------------------
Provision of support Support and maintenance Over time as the customer
and maintenance services receives support and maintenance
service service for the duration
of the contract.
------------------------ ----------------------------------
Sale of Hardware Hardware At a point of time on delivery
of the hardware
------------------------ ----------------------------------
Sale of generic Generic stand-alone At a point in time on delivery
stand-alone software software licences of the software.
licences
------------------------ ----------------------------------
Revenue from provision of integrated software solution service is recognised over time based on the stage of completion of the contract, which is determined with reference to the ratio of project hours to date relative to total estimated project hours. The Group has assessed that this is an appropriate measure of progress towards the satisfaction of the performance obligation under AASB 15.
Revenue from support and maintenance service is based on a fixed-price contract and the customer pays the fixed amount based on an agreed payment schedule. If the services rendered by the Group exceed the payments, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the service rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
The Group adopted the modified retrospective method of transition to AASB 15. There were no significant software solution projects in progress at the 31 December 2017 reporting date, and therefore the application of AASB 15 did not have a material impact at the date of initial application (1 January 2018).
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

(i) AASB 15: 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' (continued)
During the half year, revenue by stream is summarised below:

(ii) AASB 9 'Financial Instruments'
This standard replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of complex financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculation of impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward guidance on recognition and de-recognition of financial instruments from AASB 139.
eServGlobal Limited has no complex financial instruments and does not apply hedge accounting. As a result, these changes have not impacted the Group.
The calculation of impairment losses impacts the way the Group calculates the bad debts provision, now termed the credit loss allowance. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts.
A provision matrix is determined based on historic credit loss rate for each group of customers, adjusted for any material expected changes to the customers' future credit risk.
Trade receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group. The total credit loss allowance on trade receivables and contract assets include certain specific customers which the Group assessed as non-recoverable in the prior periods.

The condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the half year ended 30 June 2018 reflects a loss after tax of $7.689 million and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows reflects net cash outflows from operations of $5.978 million. The Directors have reviewed the cash flow forecast prepared by management for the period through to 31 August 2019. The cash flow forecast indicates that the Group will have sufficient funding to operate as a going concern during the forecast period, and on this basis the Directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.
The cash flow forecast is predicated on timely collection of trade receivable and work in progress balances, and the Group achieving its anticipated rate of cash inflows from conversion and delivery of sales pipeline opportunities over the forecast period. The Directors believe that the actions undertaken over the past two years to re-align the core business operations will support achieving these outcomes.
If the Group is unable to generate its expected levels and timing of cash flows through to 31 August 2019, it is likely that additional capital and/or alternative funding will need to be secured. Further, in the event that additional cash calls are made by Homesend and the Group wishes to contribute, further additional capital and/or funding may be required. The Group is not legally obliged to fulfil these calls. In the absence of such additional funding, material uncertainty would exist that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

The Group recognises credit loss allowance based on accounting policy in Note 1(b) (i) above.
The Group's assessment is based on the knowledge of disputes at the reporting date and other relevant factors such as political or regulatory issues in the geographical location of the customer, as well as any change in the credit quality of the customer from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date.
Based on a detailed assessment by management, credit loss on trade receivables of $0.265 million was charged to Administration expenses, and on work in progress credit loss of $0.187 million charged to Cost of Sales was recognised in profit or loss in the current half year.
At the balance date, it was apparent that a settlement had been reached with a customer in relation to a legal claim brought about by the Company, with a total value of $0.862 million. The settlement resulted in the write back of provisions made against previously impaired trade receivables balance. The write-back has been recognised in Administration expenses in the profit or loss.

10. Subsequent events
Subsequent to balance date (30 June 2018), settlement agreements have been signed with two customers in relation to outstanding legal claims brought about by the Group, amounting to a total of approximately $2.071 million.
The first of these agreements, amounting to $0.862 million, was in an agreed form at balance date and as such, the settlement resulted in the write back of provisions made against previously impaired trade receivables balance. Cash to the total amount was received by the Group after the balance date.
Negotiations for the other settlement agreement only commenced after the balance date and as such, no adjustments were made to the provisions in place at the balance date. However, since that time, the agreement has been signed and an amount of $1.209 million has been received by the Group, of which $0.613 million was held as a provision against previously impaired trade receivables balance.
