Brief explanation of the figures above

The consolidated entity achieved sales revenue for the period of $78M (2009 $147.2M) - a decrease of 47%. This decrease in revenue was anticipated (refer to company announcements on 26 May 2010 and 14 July 2010) and was a consequence of key USP customers deferring traditional end of financial year orders due to the announcement on 26 May 2010 that the company had entered into a conditional agreement to sell its USP business to Oracle.

Β 

The EBITDA loss (before non-recurring restructuring and foreign exchange losses) was $14,2M (2009 EBITDA profit before non-recurring restructuring and foreign exchange losses: $3,1M), consistent with the previous company announcement of 14 July 2010.

Β 

The net result of the consolidated entity for the full year ended 30 June 2010 was a loss after tax and minority interest for the period of $32.3M (2009 $34.5M).

Β 

Loss per share was 16.5 cents (2009: loss per share: 20.1 cents).

Β 

In accordance with the group's accounting policies, development expenditure incurred during the period of $2.2M (2009: $4M) was capitalised in the Statement of Financial Position. This expenditure related to internally generated software comprising the HomeSend platform.

Β 

The transaction costs relating to the sale of the USP business to Oracle which were incurred prior to 30 June 2010 ($0.9M) have been expensed in the current year.

Β 

Foreign exchange losses for the year totalled $3.0M (2009: Foreign exchange loss of $0.6M).

Β 

The operating cash flow for the period was a net outflow of $13.0M primarily resulting from the settlement of termination payments to departing employees. Cash at 30 June 2010 was $2.2M.

Β 

Subsequent Events

Β 

On 26 May 2010, the company entered into a conditional agreement to sell the assets and undertakings of its USP business to Oracle Australia Pty Limited.

Β 

The sale was subject to numerous conditions including shareholders' approval, which was obtained on 30 June 2010. The sale was not completed as at 30 June 2010 and accordingly, the assets and related liabilities attributable to the sale have been classified as "Assets classified as held for sale" and "Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2010.

Β 

The sale of the USP business was completed on 3 August 2010, subsequent to the 30 June 2010 balance sheet date. The sale price of the USP business was AUD$107M and the transaction will be accounted for in the financial year ending 30 June 2011.
