Chairman's and Chief Executive's Statement

 

This has been a transformational year for Netcall, incorporating key acquisitions supporting our growth strategy. Since this time last year we have increased our market presence, significantly grown our customer base to over 600 customers and substantially increased the Group's revenues of a recurring nature which the Board believes provides a solid foundation for delivering long term shareholder value.

 

The Group continues to enjoy a strong financial position underpinned by a business with high revenue visibility which will continue to support our growth strategy.

 

Acquisitions

 

Within a 12 month period Netcall undertook two acquisitions:

 

Q-Max

In October 2009, Netcall acquired Q-Max, a leading UK-based provider of workforce management software to contact centres. As well as adding more than 100 new customers to Netcall's existing customer base, this has also opened up a new market for the Company. Q-Max's integration was completed to plan and the business has performed well during the year, in line with management's expectations.

 

Telephonetics

On 2 June 2010, the Company announced the recommended proposed acquisition of Telephonetics, a UK-based provider of speech automation and data integration solutions, along with a placing of new Netcall shares at 19p per share to raise £4.25m before expenses. The acquisition was made by way of a scheme of arrangement and constituted a reverse takeover pursuant to the AIM Rules. It was successfully completed on 30 July 2010, after Netcall's financial year end. Integration work has begun and is proceeding according to plan, with a number of cost saving and synergistic opportunities having been identified. These opportunities include cross-selling to the significantly increased customer base and reseller channels. The removal of duplicate head office costs will also benefit the Group through cost synergies and efficiency gains.

 

Telephonetics last published set of audited accounts were for the year to 30 November 2009, in those accounts it reported revenue of £10.5 million and profit before tax of £0.4 million.

 

Financials

 

Group revenue for the 2010 financial year was £4.13m, representing an increase of 5% over the prior financial year (2009: £3.93m). This improved performance included the first time contribution from newly acquired Q-Max of £1.19m which compensated for a reduction in QueueBuster revenues.

 

Revenue of a recurring nature, from our hosted platforms and maintenance and support agreements, continues to provide good visibility of future earnings and increased 10% to £3.42m (2009: £3.10m) which represents 83% (2009: 78%) of Group revenues.

 

Gross profit margin increased by 1% to 91% (2009: 90%) including the effect from Q-Max.

 

The integration of Q-Max into the Group increased the percentage of direct sales as a proportion of Group revenues to 58% (2009: 53%).

 

Costs were monitored closely during the year with operating costs increasing marginally by 2%, including the effect from Q-Max, to £2.75m (2009: £2.69m), before share-based payments, acquisition costs and amortisation of acquired intangible assets. At this level gross profit achieved from revenues of a recurring nature continue to exceed operating costs and provide the Group with a sound financial platform.

 

As a result, the Group recorded a 23% increase in adjusted operating profits to £1.02m (2009: £0.83m), a profit margin of 25% (2009: 21%).

 

This adjusted operating profit taking into account (i) share-based payment charges of £0.2m, (ii) amortisation charges on acquired intangible assets relating to Q-Max of £0.15m; (iii) acquisition costs in respect of Q-Max and Telephonetics of £0.92m; and (iii) lower interest income of £0.13m on a lower cash balance following the part-cash acquisition of Q-Max, resulted in a loss before tax of £0.23m (2009: profit of £0.75m).

 

The Group continues to benefit from the utilisation of tax losses brought forward and therefore has no income tax expense. In light of trading in the period, the Board considers that a higher proportion of losses are likely to be utilised in the future and therefore a deferred tax credit of £0.26m has been recorded in the income statement.

 

Net cash generated from operating activities was £0.37m (2009: £1.58m) which was lower than last year due to cost of acquisition and timing differences. This combined with £2.00m of cash paid to acquire Q-Max resulted in a cash outflow for the year of £1.71m (2009: inflow of £1.25m).

 

The Group has a debt-free balance sheet and net cash funds of £2.45m at 30 June 2010. This position was strengthened further post-year end following a placing on 29 July 2010, raising a total of £4.25m (before expenses) through the issue of 22,368,420 shares at 19 pence per share. The funds have been used to part finance the Telephonetics acquisition and for general working capital purposes. 

 

Market and strategy

Netcall aims to build a focused software portfolio of technologies and applications that provide a seamless solution for end-to-end customer engagement, enabling our customers to deliver flexibility and excellent customer experience, whilst at the same time achieving internal efficiencies.

 

The recent acquisitions of Q-Max and Telephonetics have added products and customer base that significantly broaden our presence and offerings in this space. Our product portfolio now includes inbound and outbound call handling, callback, smart automation, workforce management and data unification.

 

These products can be introduced into an organisation in phases, to provide step-by-step improvements, or as a complete end-to-end solution from day one. Additional flexibility is provided via a combination of hosted or premises-based implementation.

 

The financial position of the Group continues to be robust with significant cash resources post-acquisition of Telephonetics of £4m and a strong operating model. This position of strength, with focus on maintaining financial security underpins the Group's ability to confidently invest in its technology, staff and customers. Therefore, Netcall will continue to pursue both an organic and acquisitive growth strategy in its fragmented market to achieve greater presence and efficiency and deliver long term shareholder value.

Changes to the Board

 

Netcall is pleased to welcome James Ormondroyd, Michael Neville and Mark Brooks to the Board of Netcall following completion of the acquisition of Telephonetics on 30 July 2010. James Ormondroyd joined the Netcall Board as Group Finance Director from Telephonetics where he had been Finance Director since 2005. Michael Neville, previously Telephonetics' Non-executive Chairman and Mark Brooks, previously a Non-executive Director of Telephonetics, both joined as Non-executive Directors.

 

The Board would also like to take this opportunity to welcome all new Q-Max and Telephonetics employees and shareholders to the enlarged Group and thank all of our staff for their commitment and dedication to the Company and its customers.

 

Outlook

 

The start to the current financial year has been promising, with the first months of this period showing early sales and healthy profit levels. Whilst market conditions remain uncertain, the Board's outlook remains confident.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

 

1. General information and basis of preparation

 

Netcall plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is 10 Harding Way, St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, PE27 3WR. The Financial Statements will be made available from the above address or the investor section of the Company's website at www.netcall.com no later than 22 October 2010.

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and, as required by EU Law, the Group's Financial Statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU ("IFRS").

 

The preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2010 do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2010 have not been filed with the Registrar of Companies and will be delivered in due course. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2009 were prepared under IFRS and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The audit report on these statutory accounts was unqualified, did not include references to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their reports and did not contain a statement either under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The accounting policies used in the preliminary results are consistent with those set out in the statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2010 except for the adoption of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007), IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised 2008) and IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

 

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007) does not affect the financial position or profits of the Group, but gives rise to additional disclosures. The measurement and recognition of the Group's assets, liabilities, income and expenses is unchanged, however some items that were recognised directly in equity are now recognised in other comprehensive income, for example, revaluation of property, plant and equipment. It affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and introduces a 'Statement of comprehensive income' and it requires presentation of a comparative balance sheet as at the beginning of the first comparative period, in some circumstances. Management considers that this is not necessary this year because the 2008 balance sheet is the same as that previously published.

 

IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised 2008) has meant that professional fees and similar incremental costs are no longer capitalised as part of the cost of an acquisition but are written off as incurred. It requires that contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Any subsequent changes in contingent consideration are recorded in the income statement.

 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments has introduced the "management approach" to segment reporting. This requires the disclosure of segmental information based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is deemed to be the Board of Directors, in order to assess each segment's performance and allocate resources to them. This standard amends the requirements for disclosure of segmental performance and does not have any effect on the Group's overall reported results. IFRS 8 requires the Group to provide an explanation of the basis on which the segment information is prepared and a reconciliation to the amount recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statement.

 

The consolidated financial information is presented in sterling (£), which is the company's functional and the Group's presentation currency.

 

2. Segmental analysis

 

Management consider that there is one operating business segment being the design, development, sale and support of software products and services, which is consistent with the information reviewed by the Board of Directors when making strategic decisions. Resources are reviewed on the basis of the whole business performance.

 

The key segmental measure is adjusted operating profit which is profit before separately identifiable charges, interest and tax as set out in the consolidated income statement.

3. Earnings per share

 

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the profits attributable to the shareholders of Netcall plc divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. All earnings per share calculations relate to continuing operations of the Group.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share takes into account the potentially dilutive effect of share options, this is based on a diluted weighted average of 64,846,786 (2009: 64,410,811) shares.

 

4. Acquisition

 

On 6 October 2009 the Group acquired the entire issued share capital of Q-Max Systems Limited (a company incorporated in England & Wales) and the software IP rights owned through partnerships by the shareholders of Q-Max Systems Limited ("Q-Max").

 

Q-Max provides workforce management software predominately to UK contact centres. The acquired business contributed revenues of £1.19m and net profit of £0.47m (after related amortisation charges of £0.15m) to the Group for the period 6 October 2009 to 30 June 2010. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2009, Group revenue would have been £1.59m and profit before allocations would have been £0.63m (including amortisation of £0.2m). These amounts have been calculated using the Group's accounting policies and by adjusting the results of the subsidiary to reflect the additional amortisation that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had applied from 1 July 2009, together with the consequential tax effects.

The fair value of the Netcall plc shares issued was based on the published share price at 6 October 2009.

 

Fair value adjustments

 

The fair value adjustments have been made to align Q-Max's revenue and cost recognition policies with those of the Group.

 

The Group has separable recognised intangible assets totalling £2.72m which are customer contracts and software, both of which are being amortised over their estimated economic lives of 10 and 15 years respectively. The customer contracts have been valued at £0.50m and the software has been valued £2.22m.

 

Goodwill of £0.25m represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill arising on the acquisition is largely attributable to synergies anticipated to be associated with being part of the group.

 

As part of the consideration of Q-Max, the Group agreed to pay additional consideration against surplus working capital above an agreed threshold (on the basis of Q-Max's accounting policies) that was retained in the business at completion. Following a completion accounts review process an amount of £3,400 was repaid to the vendors of Q-Max in relation to surplus working capital.

 

The costs incurred in the acquisition of Q-Max of £0.09m have been charged against the profit and loss for the period.

 

5. Events after the Balance Sheet Date

 

On 26July and 27 July 2010 the company raised in total £4.25m (gross of expenses) through a placing of 22,368,420 new ordinary shares of 5 pence each at 19 pence per share. The proceeds of the placing were utilised to part finance the acquisition of Telephonetics and for general working capital purposes.

 

On 30 July 2010 the Group completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Telephonetics Ltd ("Telephonetics") a UK-based provider of speech automation and data integration solutions, by way of a scheme of arrangement.

The fair value of shares issued was based on the published share price at 29 July 2010.

 

On acquisition of Telephonetics, all assets were fair valued and appropriate intangible assets recognised following the principals of IFRS 3 (Business Combinations). A deferred tax liability relating to these intangible assets was also recognised.

 

The Group has separable recognised intangible assets totalling £4.25m which are customer relationships, software and brand value. The customer relationships have been valued at £3.33m, the software has been valued at £0.87m and the brand at £0.05m.

 

Goodwill of £4.9m represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. The goodwill arising on the acquisition is largely attributable to synergies anticipated to be associated with being part of the group.

 

The costs incurred in the acquisition of Telephonetics of £0.83m have been charged against the 2010 income statement as incurred.

 

Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group

Telephonetics last published set of audited accounts were for the year to 30 November 2009, in those accounts it reported revenue of £10.5 million and profit before tax of £0.4 million.
