Chairman's Statement

Daily Internet continued to make steady progress in the period, showing growth in revenues from new business wins and strong recurring revenue. Revenue grew 5% against the prior period and as at 30 September 2013 Daily Internet provided web hosting services to over 50,000 customers throughout the UK, with 63% of these customers bringing repeat business.

During the period the Company further diversified its service range introducing new complementary products in-line with its strategic aim of becoming a one-stop provider for hosting products for SMEs and individuals.

Post the period end on 22 October 2013, the Group announced its intention, subject to shareholder approval, to make its first acquisition in-line with its stated 'buy and build' strategy, and a placing to raise GBP3 million to fund the cash consideration payable in respect of the acquisition. In November 2013, the Group subsequently acquired 100% of the share capital of Netplan Internet Solutions Limited ("Netplan"), an established managed hosting and cloud infrastructure provider based in Coventry. The acquisition of Netplan and its addition to the Group puts Daily Internet in a strong position to take advantage of the fast growing cloud infrastructure market whilst underpinning and accelerating Daily Internet's continued growth. Netplan not only diversifies the Group's product range but also moves the Group up the value chain where revenues per service are significantly higher and stickier in nature. We were delighted with the support shown by investors for the acquisition and fundraising, including both new and existing institutional investors, and look forward to creating shareholder value throughout continued growth in both businesses.

Following the acquisition, the Company is proceeding with streamlining the Group's operations with the goal of maximising synergies and cross selling opportunities with Netplan while emphasising continued organic growth in both companies. The Group has also been able to rationalise costs for the combined Group which will increase gross margins and accelerate the profitability of the Group.

The Group is currently trading in-line with market expectations with growth in both the original Daily Internet brand product set and contracts wins for Netplan since its acquisition. We consider the acquisition of Netplan to be a pivotal step for the Company, and the Board is confident that 2014 will see further growth and progress in creating a one-stop supplier of reliable, scalable, high performance and resilient infrastructure based hosting products within the fast-growing UK and European markets with a multi-brand and multi-location strategy.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

   1.    Accounting policies 

The financial information for the year ended 31 March 2013 set out in this half yearly report does not constitute statutory financial statements as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures for the year ended 31 March 2013 have been extracted from the Group financial statements for that year. Those financial statements have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and included an independent auditor's report, which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 493 of the Companies Act 2006.

The half yearly financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies and estimation techniques as will be adopted in the Group financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2014. The Group financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013 were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. These half yearly financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis and format with the Group financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013. The comparative half year financial statements to 30 September 2012 previously prepared under UK GAAP have been restated under IFRS. The provisions of IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' have not been applied in full.

The half year financial statements to 30 September 2013 have neither been audited nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing Practices Board.

                                    ------------  ------------  ------------ 
 

Since the conversion of potential ordinary shares to ordinary shares would decrease the net loss per share, they are not dilutive. Accordingly diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

   3.    Post balance sheet events 

On 18 November 2013 Daily Internet PLC raised GBP3 million in a share placing to fund the initial consideration of the acquisition of Netplan Internet Solutions Ltd.
