Chairman's Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to report solid progress during the first six months of 2009
underpinned by a series of new customer wins. This has resulted in an 8%
increase in total revenues and a 36% increase in operating profit for the six
months ended 30 June 2009.
As mentioned in our 2008 annual report, the difficulties in the UK banking
sector combined with a global recession have had an impact on our business,
particularly our plans to expand internationally. Testimony to this was the
cancellation of our contract with the Royal Bank of Scotland who pulled out of
the European consumer finance market. Other prospects do exist and through our
partnership programme we continue to assess viable opportunities.
We have enjoyed steady success in the consumer finance market with two new
customers being acquired who both wish to offer their cardholders secure online
account management and e-statements. This is a proven way to enhance customer
service and reduce operational costs.
Revenue from the consumer finance market has reduced as Banks limit their
current phase of investment in acquisition platforms. However, this reduction
has been more than offset by the buoyant market for online retail saving systems
for both the acquisition of new customers and for providing a secure online
account management platform. Continuing work from our existing savings customers
coupled with the addition of Stroud and Swindon Building Society as a new
customer has seen our revenues from the UK savings market double in the six
month period.
One of our key strategic aims is to increase the proportion of our total
recurring revenues. I am pleased to report therefore that in the half year,
recurring revenues were up 21% and now represent 30% of total revenues with a
doubling of income from transactional revenues. Our investment in Research and
Development has continued to increase. Our teams in Kingston and Pune, India,
are working effectively together to enhance the functionality of the NetFinance
V4 platform. We have extended the capabilities to support mobile banking and the
product factory over the last six months with further exciting developments in
the coming months. Our R&D expenditure doubled in the period to GBP0.5 million,
a level that we are comfortable with going forward.
The delivery function has had a very busy six months with three major V4
projects reaching a successful conclusion and significant enhancements to the
Barclaycard platform. I am particularly proud of the first V4 project
completions that now give us live reference sites to strengthen our marketing
message as well as increasing the knowledge and expertise of our staff.
Currently we employ 65 people up from 50 at the same point in 2008.
Financial summary
The addition of three new customers contributed to the 8% overall increase in
revenues to GBP3.2 million and to the 30% increase in licence income during the
six month period, compared with the same period last year. Consulting revenues
fell 7% in the period, compared with the prior six month period, due to the
termination of the RBS contract and the reduced spend at HBOS. On the positive
side the completion of three V4 projects and the higher number of brands on the
transactional revenue model meant that recurring revenues were up 21% compared
with the same period last year.
A reduction in the use of third party contractors combined with the favourable
revenue mix has resulted in a reduction in the cost of sales that has also
improved the gross profit by 13% compared with the same period last year. The
gross margin percentage now stands at 86% up from 82% in the first half of 2008.
Operating expenses are up 9% in the period, compared with the same period last
year, driven by the increase in headcount. We have also increased our marketing
expenditure as we look to commercially exploit the new NetFinance V4 software
platform.
The increase in operating profit has been achieved by a reduction in the cost of
sales coupled with the net capitalisation of research and development costs
totalling GBP356k, in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards. The operating margin for this first half of the year is up from 11%
in the corresponding period last year to 14% this year.
Given the continued profitable growth, the Board feel there is sufficient
certainty to increase the deferred tax asset to reflect the recoverability of
trading losses in the foreseeable future. The result of this action is a
non-cash credit to the income statement of GBP28k.
The cash position improved to GBP1.1 million compared to GBP1.0 million at the
end of 2008 and also at 30 June 2008.
On the basis of the continuing trend of profitability, it is your board's
intention to have a progressive dividend policy and to pay its first dividend
which will be declared at the time of the issuance of the preliminary figures
for the year ending 31 December expected in April 2010.
Outlook
The continued disruption to the credit markets is expected to deliver strong
revenue growth in the savings market that will be partly offset by continued
weakness in the consumer finance market. There are further opportunities to
upgrade our existing customers to the NetFinance V4 platform during the second
half of the year, which should bring further progress to our strategic aims.
I expect that the focus of our customers will continue to be on cost cutting,
which will bring to the fore the greater use of the internet and mobile banking.
These are your company's core strengths and should generate profitable sales
opportunities. We have a market leading solution, delivered by an unrivalled
team of experts in a prominent channel and this drives my enthusiasm for the
future.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
This Report was approved by the directors on 18 September 2009.
The company is domiciled in the United Kingdom. The company is listed on the
Alternative Investment Market stock exchange.
The current and comparative periods to June have been prepared using the
accounting policies and practices consistent with those adopted in the annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 except the adoption of
IAS 1 Revised and IFRS 8 as noted below and are also consistent with those which
will be adopted in the 31 December 2009 financial statements. Comparative
figures for the year ended 31 December 2008 have been extracted from the
statutory financial statements for that period which carried an unqualified
audit report, did not include reference to any matters to which the auditor drew
attention by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under section
237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985 and have been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies.
The Group has applied IAS 1 Revised "Presentation of Financial Statements" and
IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" as of 1 January 2009. In accordance with IAS 1 the
financial statements have been re-titled and a consolidated statement of other
comprehensive income produced. IFRS 8 states that segment information should be
based on management's internal reporting structure and accounting principles.
As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008,
the Group's segment information has already been based on the management
reporting structure and therefore the operating segments are the same as
previously reported.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 were prepared in
accordance with International Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") as adopted in the EU.
The Financial Information contained in this report does not constitute statutory
accounts as defined by section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. This report has
not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors.
During the first six months of the current financial year there have been no
related party transactions that materially affect the financial position or
performance of the group and there have been no changes in the related party
transactions described in the last annual financial report.
The principal risks and uncertainties of the group have not changed since the
publication of the last annual financial report where a detailed explanation of
such risks and uncertainties can be found.
2. Dividends
The Board has not declared a dividend for the period ended 30 June 2009 (30 June
2008: Nil; 31 December 2008: Nil).
3. Basic and diluted earnings per share

4. Revenue
The Group's revenue and profit before taxation is derived entirely from its
principal business activity. The Group's management and internal reporting
structures split the turnover between licences, customer consultancy services
and recurring revenues, but not costs and its operating results. Consequently
there is only one class of business activity undertaken by the Group, being the
provision of online software and services that allow organisations to
disseminate information, integrate systems and deliver e-business applications.

5. Capital and reserves
Share option reserve
The share option reserve includes an expense based on the fair value of share
options issued since 7 November 2002 in accordance with IFRS 2 for a number of
share-based payment awards which have been granted and which have not vested by
the effective date of the accounting standard 1 January 2006. During the six
months ended 30 June 2009, the group granted 2.75m share options to employees
where the aggregate fair value at date of grant was GBP109,835. The share
options were conditional on the achievement of minimum profit before tax targets
of GBP1.5 million on an annual basis.
Cumulative translation reserve
The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising since
1 January 2006 from the retranslation of opening net investment in subsidiary
companies that do not have sterling as a functional currency. Exchange
differences are classified as equity and transferred to the Group's translation
reserve. Such translation differences are recognised in the income statement in
the period in which the subsidiary is disposed of.
6. Tax on profit on ordinary activities
The Directors are confident that the group will achieve future profitability in
line with the current business plan, therefore, a deferred tax asset of
GBP364,000 (June 2008: GBP374,000; December 2008: GBP336,000) has been
recognised at the balance sheet date. There is sufficient certainty to increase
the deferred tax asset to reflect the recoverability of trading losses in the
foreseeable future. The result of this action is a non-cash credit to the income
statement of GBP28,000 (June 2008: GBP74,000; December 2008: GBP36,000).

The internally generated intangible asset arises from the Group's computer
software development initiative. These development costs are capitalised and
amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of three years once
the related software product is available for use. If the product becomes
unviable the deferred development costs are written off. The amortisation
included in operating expenses is GBP177,059 (June 2008: GBPnil and December
2008: GBP114,956). The development costs capitalised for the six months ended
June 2009 amount to GBP533,473 (June 2008: GBP185,566 and December 2008:
GBP717,484) and will be amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful
life of three years once the software product is available for use.
Development costs which are not related to product maintenance and version
upgrades are capitalised.

Share premium account
On 29 April 2009 the Company received a high court approval for the cancellation
of its share premium account as the Company had an accumulated deficit on its
retained earnings. The absence of distributable profits meant that the Company
was unable to pay dividends. The Resolution, which was proposed as a special
resolution, approved the cancellation of the Company's share premium account,
which as at 29 April 2009 amounted to GBP21,823,185.
Accordingly the cancellation of the share premium account is now effective. This
now enables the Company to consider the payment of dividends in the future.
