CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
Half year results
UK interactive broadcast revenues for the six months ended 30
June 2016 were approximately GBP5.3 million, a decrease of 8% on
the same period last year. Revenue from newly launched overseas
gaming consultancy services represented GBP320,000. Gross profit
amounted to GBP378,000 (H1 2015: GBP639,000).
Operating costs for the period were GBP343,000 (H1 2015:
GBP380,000).
Overall, the Company's operations generated a profit before tax
of GBP78,000. This compares to an operating profit of GBP256,000
for the period ending 30 June 2015.
The post-tax profit for the period amounted to GBP78,000. This
represents earnings per share of 0.1p. By comparison, the period to
30 June 2015 achieved a net profit of GBP339,000 and earnings per
share of 0.4p.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2016 stood at
GBP1,189,000 compared to a balance of GBP1,563,000 at 30 June
2015.
Outlook
As the Group's core revenues from UK interactive broadcasting
diminish, the Directors are continuing to explore opportunities for
diversification, specifically focussing on building revenues from
the licensing, consulting and support of interactive gaming
products and services in emerging markets. The Directors are
pleased with the progress made in the Company's first venture into
this new business area, as a services provider to a gaming operator
in Kenya. Whilst launched in November 2015, the Company commenced
meaningful revenue generation during H1 2016 and its contract with
its local client is on-going. It is hoped that net contribution
from these services could be increased by margin improvement from
the economies of scale that could be achieved by expanding its
portfolio of applications.
Whilst the Group does not envisage a short term recovery in its
core UK interactive TV business, the Company is progressing
interesting opportunities in these area, such as launching on a new
cable TV platform and provision of new paid-for online content. The
Company's objective over the medium term is that the new and other
related initiatives can offset the continuing deterioration of the
domestic TV related business.
