Management Resource Solutions PLC

Half Year Report

Period Ended

31 December 2016

Company number: 8046513

CEO's Statement

Dear shareholders,

The Half Year results show a Net Loss Before Tax of A$3.2m on Revenue of A$20.6m.

Shareholders should be aware that the going concern basis of preparation of these interim accounts is based on the Directors assumptions, having prepared a cash flow forecast, of the Company's working capital requirements and the need to access additional equity funding or asset divestment if required within the next 12 months.

Restructure

Significantly underperforming business units within MRS necessitated a restructure of the group in October/November 2016:

   -- The high risk underperforming contract to build aviation fuel tanks at Jackson's International Airport in Port 
      Moresby, Papua New Guinea was put into dispute. MRS Guernsey Limited and MRS PNG Limited, the MRS entities which 
      managed the PNG contract, were put into Voluntary Liquidation in December 2016 and February 2017 respectively to 
      quarantine any issues that may arise from this contract. 
 
   -- The other high risk underperforming contract to dismantle a Polypropylene Plant at Rosehill, Sydney was put into 
      dispute in November 2016 and all work was ceased. MRS Pty Ltd, the company contracted to undertake this work, was 
      placed into Voluntary Administration in February 2017, again to quarantine the group from losses and potential 
      liquidated damages claims. Bachmann Plant Hire (BPH) and MRS Services Group (MRSSG) were quarantined from this 
      process. 
 
   -- The oil and gas industry white collar labour hire business, which had declined through the year to the point it 
      was unsustainable, was also closed. 
 
   -- The Southport head office, which had supported the above sections of the business, was closed in October 2016 and 
      the staff were made redundant. 

Non-Recurring Costs

Significant non-recurring costs have been incurred to date in FY17 to fund the restructure of MRS group as well as the acquisition and restructure of the Subzero assets to establish the MRS Services Group (MRSSG):

   --   MRS Pty Ltd incurred A$600k for the acquisition of the Subzero assets 
 
   --   MRSSG incurred A$309k in relocation costs to achieve rent and occupancy cost savings of A$950k pa, A$240k in 
      financing   costs to initiate the Hermes invoice discounting facility and A$180k in redundancy costs to achieve 
      A$1.2m pa reduction in   overhead salary costs. 
 
   --   MRS Plc incurred A$470k for restructuring of the subsidiaries. 
 
   --   Loss on liquidation of subsidiaries of A$454k, being MRs Pty Ltd A$101k and MRS Guernsey A$353k 
 
   --   MRS PLC impairment of debtors A$543k 

Of the above, A$1,920k has been recognised in the first half of FY17.

MRS Services Group Performance

Upon the acquisition of MRS Subzero, out of its Receivership, there was a requirement to make major structural changes to overhead and occupancy costs resulting in significant restructuring and non-recurring costs. This was planned prior to the acquisition. A lack of working capital and the resulting cash constraints has impacted the performance of the business. MRSSG has implemented an overhead reduction program outlined above and is in the process of implementing operating cost savings with installation of bulk oil, gas and fuel to the workshops and implementing consumable kiosks with resulting savings in consumable and inventory costs. Every facet of the business is under review to streamline costs.

Bachmann Plant Hire

All the documentation, agreements and payment of consideration are now complete for the purchase of BPH, save for the outstanding issue of new shares to the value of A$500,000, as previously announced.

BPH continues to perform well against budget. It is a mature, established business with a 50 year history of civil earthworks in Ipswich and will continue to operate effectively in this sector.

Group Performance

The business restructure, ensuing non-recurring costs and the underperformance of MRSSG have put significant strain on cash flow which has impacted the growth of the business to date and our ability to take advantage of opportunities in the market.

MRS Outlook

The focus for MRS going forward is the consolidation of the four "pillars" of the business and developing the business strategy and framework to drive the performance of the Group. When recovered from the current cash constraints the business will be in a very good position to take advantage of the coal industry upturn in the Hunter Valley and the residential growth in Southern Queensland.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the MRS employees, clients, suppliers and shareholders for maintaining the belief in the Company in difficult times.

Management Resource Solutions PLC

Notes forming part of the Interim Results

For the six months ended 31 December 2016

1. Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial information set out in this report is based on the financial statements of Management Resource Solutions plc ("MRS"). The condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The interim financial information for the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2016 was approved and authorised for issue by the Board on 7th April 2017. This interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that are expected to be applied in the Report and Accounts of MRS for the year ending 30 June 2017 and are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted for use in the European Union.

2. Basis of preparation

The financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2016 does not constitute the Company's statutory financial statements for those periods. The comparative financial information for the full year ended 30 June 2016 has been derived from the statutory financial statements for that period. The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2016 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.

The financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) except where otherwise indicated.

3. Going concern

The interim financial information has been prepared on the going concern basis as, in the opinion of the Directors, at the time of approving, there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

As reported in the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016, closure of the former consulting business has brought major cost savings and the Group has secured further finance facilities. Based on these developments and on the Company's ability to modify expenditure outlays further if required, and to source additional funds, the Directors consider there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable, and therefore the going concern basis of preparation is considered to be appropriate for the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2016. The Board of Directors are aware, having prepared a cash flow forecast, of the Company's working capital requirements and the need to access additional equity funding or asset divestment if required within the next 12 months.

In the event that the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the normal course of business and perhaps at amounts different to those stated in its financial report.

4. Earnings / (loss) per share

Earnings / (loss) per share is calculated on the reported loss for the period of $4,030,000 and on 57,554,573 ordinary shares, being the weighted average number of shares in issue throughout the period ended 31 December 2016.

For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue has been adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has two classes of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being share options granted to directors and employees and warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares issued in connection with the placing of ordinary shares on 11 December 2014.
