Chief Executive Review

We executed another strong six months as we continue to acquire new customers, expand relationships with existing customers and partners, grow internationally and innovate. Our objective of establishing a strong capital base and delivering on our key business objectives across our operations and target market remains on track.

I am also pleased to report that our focus on costs and sales performance provides us with the visibility and confidence to expect break-even during the next financial year, as forecasted at the time of the IPO.

The strength of the RAPid platform is being increasingly recognised in the industry which is giving us the opportunity to take major steps forward on a number of important fronts, most notably our improved win loss ratio in competitive bids. Underpinning the progress is our talented and skilled team which is fuelling the continued development of innovative smart solutions which is widening the sphere of sales opportunities. This is being played out through our growing list of clients, which include many leading global businesses, and more importantly the increasing number of partnerships we are establishing with global technology, BPO and consultancy firms. These partnerships bring us closer to where high volumes of business and commerce meet giving us the opportunity to play a role. During the period we secured notable customer wins with one partner leveraging the platform to deliver 11 client projects which included more than €50bn in transaction value being analysed.

The direct sales teams continue to gain momentum and have delivered a strong performance. This strength and performance is being underpinned by improving sales cycle metrics and a healthy demand side dynamic. Furthermore, revenue growth, from our installed customer base, has moved ahead of the churn rate and, we believe, is evidence of early success in our "land and expand" strategy as well as of the emerging value of the Rosslyn business model.

The Group is well positioned to benefit from increasing opportunities in its key markets which are being driven by customer need for speed and certainty as the importance of leveraging corporate data increases. Our new business prospects are actively exploring ways to capture efficiency gains, cost savings, improved sales and marketing effectiveness and meet their regulatory compliance needs. Trusted data is fundamental to our customers' ability to deliver on each of these.

We remain confident that, supported by strong contracted revenue visibility and new business momentum, we will continue to build on the solid progress made in the first half of the year.

Business Review

The six months to 31 October 2015 saw the Company continue to generate substantial market traction, with new contracts won with large enterprises including Anglo American, Berensden, Mitie and a Global Law Firm. The Directors believe that the Company is sufficiently capitalised to execute its plans and develop new market opportunities.

Our strong sales growth was achieved through our approach of being able to assist enterprises to significantly reduce the complexities associated with analytics, reduce the costs of deploying analytics, increase the speed of deployment and demonstrate a positive return on investment. The comparative value gap between a traditional on-premise solution and our cloud based approach is increasing as we continue to develop faster, better and more intuitive solutions. We believe this will assist us in improving our sales cycle metrics, accelerate our expansion plans and maintain a low churn rate.

We are continuing to expand our sales and marketing teams in both the UK and US, focusing on large enterprises in key industry segments and have deployed dedicated partner managers whose focus is on establishing deep and trusted relationships with these strategic accounts. Supporting each of these areas is an expanding customer success team who support not just the success but also the expansion of the footprint of the platform in each account.

The Company's sales pipeline is growing as expected and I am pleased to report that we are in contract negotiations with a number of large enterprises and look forward to updating shareholders in due course. On the partner front, our focus is on making our existing partners ever more effective in selling the benefits of the platform through which we extend and scale our sales capability.

We are continuing to build on our world-class and well regarded development team. Their depth of expertise and agile approach enables us to respond quickly to customer needs and market opportunities and give us an advantage over the traditional on-premise approach.

The Group's strategy is to build a strong and dynamic company focused on organic growth and building shareholder value through delivering on our goals and a strong financial track record.

Financial Review

Group revenues increased by 45% to £1,821,517 (2014: £1,250,770), with all growth being organic.

EBITDA loss decreased by 22% to £1,290,170 (2014: £1,660,981) and there was also a 22% decrease in the loss before tax of £1,316,412 (2014: £1,684,322).

The basic and diluted loss per share for the period was 1.75p (2014 (2.14p).

Net cash / debt at the end of the six month period was £2.6m (2014: £6.2m). Cash consumed in the first half equated to £2.1m (2014: £2.6m).

Cash consumption was in line with expectations set for the year and in line with those set out at the time of the IPO. The proceeds from the IPO continue to be targeted at investment into the RAPid product and the sales and marketing effort. It is expected that the payback on this continuing investment will be seen in the months ahead and we are pleased with the organic growth we have seen in the first half of the year and the real potential we see from the partner interest in our technology.

Average headcount in the period remained stable at 49 (2014: 49). The investment in our people was focused particularly on our technical development team in 2013/14 but has begun to migrate towards our sales and marketing resource in the first half of this year.

Prospects

The second half of the year has begun well. There have been a number of new contract wins as well as expansion of our current customer portfolio.

The firm has been short listed as the preferred vendor in both the US and UK for potential new contracts which cover a number of new exciting verticals and applications for RDT and we look forward to updating shareholders in due course. Our recent invitation to become one of Microsoft's select group of global Red Carpet partners is a strong endorsement of our technology and, we believe, positions RDT's RAPid platform and its associated data technologies within the ecosystem of one of the emerging and principle players in the cloud analytics space.

The research and development team is executing on an exciting schedule of improvements and new technologies, which we expect to be released into full production during the second half of this financial year. Of note, we expect to deliver our clients predictive analytical capabilities whilst increasing the number of data sources from which our customers can enrich their source data, including sanction, black list and macro economic indices. We expect this to improve our customers' risk analytics and compliance reporting capabilities, and information and insights to support their strategic decision making.

The Directors are pleased with the progress made to date and believe that the Company is increasingly well positioned to take advantage of the business opportunity. The RAPid platform is emerging as a recognised and well regarded technology in this large, growing market place and, through our continued and disciplined execution, we expect progress to continue. Our target of achieving cash flow break-even during the next financial year remains on track and this combination of progress and opportunity does, we believe, put the Company in an exciting position for the rest of this year and beyond.
