Chief Executive's Statement: 
 
Overview 
 
A key objective for our management team this year is to get each of our 
subsidiaries trading profitably at an EBIT level and I am pleased to report 
that this has been achieved in the results for the first half. A combination of 
increased revenue and prudent cost control has delivered a pleasing set of 
interim results. 
 
Trading 
 
Our managed services business in the UK and USA has performed very well, 
growing both our core contracted revenue and project/consultancy work. We have 
been able to attract new clients as well as to sell more services to existing 
customers. During the period we have successfully installed our first two 
copies of the Microsoft Lync product, formally OCS, and look forward to many 
more implementations of this communications technology. We have re-vamped 
several key services and should now be able to reach more clients with these 
services whilst using the Company's resources more efficiently. 
 
All of our managed services are paid for monthly, typically over a two year 
period, and assist in greatly reducing the capital expenditure often associated 
with IT spending which is becoming increasingly important for our customers in 
these challenging economic times. 
 
The Resilience division has also performed well in the first six months and has 
produced a welcome profit at the EBIT level for the first time since it was 
acquired in March 2009. During the period Resilience has signed up many more 
new resellers and, although the effort in training these new resellers is 
substantial, we expect it to lead to increased sales in the future. In December 
2010, we reported that Resilience had won a substantial new contract. I can 
report that this new client is progressing well and has since ordered further 
product. As a result of the difficult economic climate, Resilience's larger 
customers and government departments are tending not to place large single 
orders, preferring instead to set up framework agreements with their resellers. 
They, in turn, set up similar arrangements with Resilience and then purchase 
products on a regular basis under those agreements. 
 
Outlook 
 
The market for our comprehensive range of products and services in the UK and 
USA remains challenging, however the Board is optimistic about the future 
prospects for the Company. It is our intention to build on the solid start to 
the financial year, which is reported in these interim results, but remain 
vigilant of fast changing market conditions.
