Chief Executive's Review

 

 

 

 

When I presented our full year 2012 results four months ago at the end of March I noted that the restructuring of costs completed in the second half of 2012 had helped to reduce the overall loss for 2012 and would deliver improvements in profitability for 2013.

 

I am pleased now to present our unaudited half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2013 where we have achieved profit before tax of £180,758 on revenues of £1,256,836. Revenues are up 10.9% on the same period last year whilst the profit before tax is an improvement of £371,940 on the comparable period and reverses all losses suffered in FY 2012.

 

We have strengthened our balance sheet and used positive cash flows to further reduce historic licensing liabilities (the residue of which will be repaid during the second half of 2013). We have also introduced tailored equipment financing facilities to support new business growth.

 

We continue to engage with clients, with 11 new brands already providing new business so far this year.

 

In these times when digital content and communications are an important part of the mix of consumer experience and lifestyle, we are better placed than ever to build our business.

The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

2. Basis of preparation

 

These consolidated financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2013 are unaudited. They have been prepared and approved by the directors following the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU ("Adopted IFRSs"); they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012.

 

On the basis of current financial projections prepared up to the end of 2014, recent news of new contracts and of contract renewals, continuing improvements in management of costs, and ongoing availability of facilities, the Directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and consequently the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

 

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 29 July 2013.

 

 

3. Significant accounting policies

The basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are calculated using the after tax profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders for the financial period of £180,758 (30 June 2012: loss of £191,182; 31 December 2012: loss of £150,755) divided by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares in issue in each of the relevant periods: 30 June 2013: 13,724,470 shares (30 June 2012 and 31 December 2012: 13,724,470 shares).
