Mr Ian Buddery, Executive Chairman, said: "eServGlobal has again produced an
excellent first half result, ahead of our plan and with significant growth from
the corresponding period last year.  I am also particularly pleased to note the
EBITDA margin performance of 14.5%, which reflects the success of our strategy
to improve efficiency.  Our cash result was below forecast and further business
process improvements are in progress. The cash balance is forecast to reach
$13million by 30 June 2008."

"Our sales growth was the result of the strong demand for our advanced charging
and messaging solutions for mobile operators worldwide.  Many of our customers
experienced record transaction volumes during the half and expect continuing
growth in subscriber numbers and services activity throughout 2008."
