Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive said:
"The Company achieved a number of objectives in the first half
transitioning from its legacy 3D business into our new offering of
the 2D TriDef SmartCam solutions that target scalable opportunities
in the gamecasting and video conferencing markets. We have been
encouraged by the positive response from end users and prospective
partners to the new TriDef SmartCam products.
"Additionally, the Company has appointed Quinn Emanuel Urquhart
and Sullivan LLP, a leading US intellectual property law firm, to
pursue patent infringement litigation in the US against LG
Electronics related to LG's range of 3D televisions. Dominion
Harbor Group continues to make promising progress on the patent
licensing program with indications that additional licenses may be
secured in the current financial year without the need for
litigation.
"Revenues from the 3D TV market were lower due to the transition
of the use of Company's TriDef 3D conversion technology from HDTVs
to UHD/4K TVs which occurred at the end of the first quarter. The
Company expects the 3D TV revenues to recover in the near term in
line with the continued growth in sales of UHD TVs and has extended
its license agreement with Samsung until the end of 2016.
"During the transition from stereo 3D products to 2D solutions
the Company continues to carefully manage costs and expenses to
maximize the working capital as the Company returns to
break-even."

Overview
The Group continues to progress in its image analysis research
and development efforts and the related introduction of new
products focused on the larger 2D image market.
Business Review
Technology Licensing
During the period, the Group focused on the delivery of its new
2D product "TriDef SmartCam" which is designed to perform real time
background removal and substitution without the need for any
special 'green-screen' equipment. TriDef SmartCam enables users of
popular PC video conferencing products like Skype and popular
gamecasting products like XSplit Gamecaster to effectively overlay
their webcam image on alternative backgrounds such as gameplay
videos or still photos using their 2D webcam.
TriDef SmartCam was launched on DDD's TriDef.com website in late
May where it is available for purchase and also as a free 7 day
trial. The Group's GenMe Inc. subsidiary signed the first affiliate
agreement with SplitmediaLabs in May enabling the distribution of
TriDef SmartCam to end users of SplitmediaLabs' popular XSplit
Gamecaster and XSplit Broadcaster applications. Under the terms of
the affiliate agreement, end users of XSplit Gamecaster and XSplit
Broadcaster can try out the TriDef SmartCam app with a 7 day free
trial. Revenues of purchases of TriDef SmartCam licenses made by
XSplit end users are then shared with SplitmediaLabs on a calendar
quarterly basis. SplitmediaLabs launched the first version of
XSplit Gamecaster that supports TriDef SmartCam in August at the
Gamescom 2015 trade show in Cologne, Germany. A separate license
agreement with SplitmediaLabs enables TriDef SmartCam to be bundled
with the XSplit Gamecaster and XSplit Broadcaster products which
SplitmediaLabs will license to manufacturers of high performance
gaming PCs. Under the terms of this agreement, DDD will receive a
per unit royalty from SplitmediaLabs for each XSplit software
subscription that is activated by an end user.
The Group is also involved in a number of commercial discussions
and evaluations with other software vendors in the game casting and
video conferencing markets in the United States and Asia and
anticipates expanding the TriDef SmartCam affiliate licensing
program over the coming months as these discussions conclude.
The Group is also finalising the development of an Android
version of the SmartCam solution that can be used with mobile
phones and tablets. In addition to video conferencing applications,
the Group is planning to introduce an app in the second half that
leverages the SmartCam technologies to enable a new category of
'social photography' whereby users can include themselves in
photographs that they receive from friends and via social media
circles.
During the first half, a total of 2.5 million 3D consumer
products were shipped with the Group's TriDef 3D 2D to 3D
conversion technologies under license. This decline in shipments
was due to a softening demand in the LCD TV market that led TV
manufacturers to reduce production capacity by between 20% and 30%
in the first half coupled with the transition to the use of the
Group's 2D to 3D conversion technology exclusively in the new Ultra
High Definition (UHD) 4K premium TV category. Many manufacturers
phased out 3D capable HDTVs during the half in favour of 3D UHD
TVs. The UHD TV market grew 400% year on year to 4.7 million TVs in
the first quarter of 2015 according to market research firm
DisplaySearch and annual sales of UHD TVs are forecast to grow to
approximately 32 million TVs during 2015. According to
DisplaySearch, Samsung was the leading supplier of UHD TVs in the
first quarter of 2015 with over 30% market share by value.
Consequently, the Group expects royalties from 3D TV shipments to
recover during the remainder of the year and beyond as production
of UHD TVs and 3D UHD TVs continues to grow.
In July, the Group extended its license agreement with Samsung
for the use of the TriDef 2D to 3D conversion technology in
Samsung's 3D TVs until the end of 2016. As part of this renewal,
the agreement was restructured such that royalties become due when
the chip incorporating the Group's technology is used in the
manufacture of a 3D product. Previously the royalty was due when
the chip was manufactured. This royalty reporting transition
resulted in a credit to Samsung representing the difference between
the total chips manufactured and the total chips used in 3D
products during the first half. The Group expects that this credit
will be used in full by Samsung during the second half based on
current market projections.
PC and mobile shipments continued to be negligible (less than
1%).
Patent Licensing
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
September 14, 2015 02:00 ET (06:00 GMT)
Following the appointment of Dominion Harbor to assist in the
licensing of the Group's extensive patent library a number of
discussions have been conducted with prospective licensees in the
consumer and professional services markets. The licensing
discussions with LG Electronics related to the 3D conversion
technology in LG's range of 3D TVs was not conclusive and the Group
appointed the law firm of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan LLP
(Quinn Emanuel) to represent them in a patent litigation with LG
Electronics that was filed in Los Angeles California in July. Quinn
Emanuel has an outstanding track record in patent related
litigation and mediation, having tried 1,516 cases and won 1,371,
or over 90%. When representing plaintiffs, Quinn Emanuel's lawyers
have won over $15 billion in judgments and settlements. Quinn
Emanuel has successfully represented many leading technology
companies including Google, Motorola, Samsung and Sony in a variety
of patent related matters.
The complaint alleges that as a result of discussions with LG
dating back to 2008 and LG's subsequent licensing of the Group's
technologies for their 3D PCs and 3D mobile phones, that LG's
unlicensed use of the Group's patent claims in their range of 3D
televisions was done in the full knowledge of the existence of the
Group's patents and continues to be willful. The complaint seeks
injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages and contends
that since LG's infringement is willful, the Group is entitled to
seek treble damages and an award of its attorneys' fees, costs, and
expenses.
As Dominion Harbor makes further progress on the licensing
discussions with other parties, the Group will provide additional
updates as and when appropriate however the Group is not of the
view that litigation will be required with all prospective
licensees.
Outlook
With the first of the new 2D products now available in the
target markets of gamecasting and video conferencing, the Group is
encouraged by the response of prospective partners and end users
alike. The Group plans to build upon the core 2D image analysis
technologies, refining the performance of the existing products and
releasing new products that deliver innovative user experiences in
sizeable growth markets.
As part of the shift in product strategy, the Group is also
placing more emphasis on direct to consumer sales through affiliate
agreements with market leaders such as the one concluded with
SplitmediaLabs. In this approach, the Group can secure
significantly higher per unit license fees from end users than
would be possible if licensing to OEMs who have fragile profit
margins as a result of perpetual price competition. At the same
time, the Group can share these end user license fees with the
third party affiliate, creating an incremental revenue opportunity
for the affiliate from their installed base which benefits both the
affiliate and the Group.
The Group plans to continue to place business development
emphasis on securing additional affiliate agreements in the
gamecasting and video conferencing markets with customers in both
the United States and Asia.
As the UHD TV market continues to grow, the Group expects that
the shipments of 3D TVs with the Groups 2D to 3D conversion
technologies will recover and will continue to contribute to the
Group's revenues for the foreseeable future.
For the remainder of 2015, the Group will focus on
commercialising the new 2D products with distribution partners in
the PC video conference and gamecasting markets and delivering the
Android versions of these new products to enable the Group to
address new mobile opportunities in the digital photography and
social media markets. The Group will continue to assist Dominion
Harbor in concluding licensing discussions with prospective
licensees and will work closely with Quinn Emanuel on the patent
litigation with LG Electronics.
Financial Review
An analysis of the financial results and business progress for
the period follows. A thorough analysis of the business model and
key markets is provided in the 2014 Annual Report and Accounts
available on the Group's website.
Revenue for the period ended 30 June 2015, primarily from 3D
technology licensing in the TV market, declined 63% against the
same period in the prior year to $437,000 (June 2014 restated:
$1,179,000) due to the decline in 3D technology shipments discussed
previously.
High margin OEM royalty revenues decreased to $378,000 (June
2014: $1,095,000), primarily resulting from the decrease in
shipments of 3D TV products by existing licensees as the 3D feature
transitions into the smaller but more profitable UHD/4K television
segment. During the first half of 2015, only two PC licensees (H1
2014: 5) were shipping 3D PC products with the majority of
remaining 3D PC products having become end of line in prior
periods. Additionally, the decline in availability of 3D PCs
effected the direct-to-consumer PC software sales which fell 41% to
$41,000 (June 2014: $69,000). Other licensing royalty revenues were
$18,000 (June 2014: $15,000).
Gross profit margin remained 99.8% (June 2014: 99.8%) therefore
the revenue decline described above directly impacted the gross
profit. Gross profit for the period was $435,000 (June 2014
restated: $1,176,000).
Depreciation and amortisation expenses totaled $704,000 (June
2014 restated: $776,000). The decrease is primarily due to the
effect of certain disposals made at the end of 2014.
The non-cash share-based incentive expense was $21,000 (June
2014: $92,000). In early June 2015, an employee-wide grant over
3,650,000 ordinary 1p shares at the market price of 1.75p per share
was announced.
Administrative expenses fell 7% to $1,446,000 (June 2014
restated: $1,566,000) and down just under 9% sequentially compared
to H2 2014 ($1,587,000). The savings is a result in weakness in the
Australian Dollar against the US Dollar, savings from the move to
the new Australian office in the second half of 2014 and continued
expenditure controls.
Other income rose to $399,000 (June 2014: $34,000). In 2015, the
amount primarily represents the R&D tax incentive for FY2014
which is anticipated to be received by September. Adjusted loss
before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and share based
payments increased to $612,000 (2014 restated: $356,000).
Reported pre-tax loss was $1,433,000 (June 2014 restated:
$1,222,000).
The majority of taxation is due to foreign withholding taxes
that are deducted at source from royalty revenues by certain
non-treaty territories such as Korea and Taiwan. These foreign
withholding taxes may be available as tax credits in the US for
future periods against foreign-sourced profits which are uncertain
and are therefore included in the taxation line item. Taxation for
the period was $109,000 (June 2014: $257,000) reflecting the mix in
revenues from tax treaty jurisdictions during the period plus the
effect of deferred tax liability adjustments as a result of the
R&D capitalisation.
The Group completed a fund raising of $1,202,000 ($1,119,000 net
of costs) in March 2015 which was partly via convertible loan notes
and partly via an equity offering.
The Group's total loss per share after taxation was $0.010 per
share (June 2014: $0.011 per share).
Cash used by operations (before tax payments and interest
received) was $214,000 (June 2014: used $528,000). Net cash used by
operating activities was $374,000 (June 2014: used $736,000).
Capitalised expenditure was $660,000 (June 2014: $1,093,000),
therefore free cash flow improved to an outflow for the period of
$1,034,000 (June 2014: outflow $1,829,000).
$1,119,000 net of costs was raised from a combination of equity
issuance and additional convertible loan note issuance activity
(June 2014: nil), resulting in cash of $783,000 at the end of June
2015 (June 2014: $867,000).

2. Basis of preparation
This interim report on the unaudited consolidated financial
statements is for the six month period ended 30 June 2015. As
permitted, this interim report has been prepared in accordance with
the AIM Rules for Companies and does not seek to comply with IAS 34
"Interim Financial Reporting" or constitute statutory accounts as
defined in Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. It does not
include all the information required for full annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended
31 December 2014. The Group's statutory financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2014, prepared under IFRS as adopted by
the EU, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. Those
accounts have received an unqualified audit report which contained
an emphasis of matter regarding going concern to which the auditors
drew attention under the Act.
Restatement - The 2014 interim results have been restated for
the effect of the discontinued operation and the 2013 formulaic
error in amortisation discussed in detail in Note 1 of the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended
31 December 2014.

financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, which

and/or revised IFRS and IFRIC publications that came into force in
the period had any impact on the accounting policies, financial
position or performance of the Group.

3. Selected segmental reporting data
The Group's operating segments are based upon the Group's
revenue streams. At present, given the size of the Group, costs of
goods sold and operating expenses cannot be allocated on a
reasonable basis to the segments below and, as a result, the
segmental analysis is limited to the Group gross profit as
presented to the Board of Directors.
Please note that the following data is not an IFRS8 compliant
disclosure but selected financial information.

(1) On 1 April 2015, 22,500,000 ordinary 1p shares were admitted
to trading following shareholder approval of the March 2015 equity
fund raising. The shares were issued at 2 pence per share (a
premium of 6.7% to the mid-market closing rate on the previous
day).
For profit periods, the diluted profit per share includes the
effect of outstanding, fully vested, in-the-money share options at
the end of the period. For loss periods, the diluted loss per share
does not differ from the basic loss per share as the exercise of
share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per share
and is therefore not dilutive under the terms of IAS 33.
For all periods, the deferred shares are not deemed to be
dilutive given the characteristics of these shares which are
described in full in the 2014 Annual Report and Accounts of the
Company.
