James Faulds, Chairman of i-design, commented,
"i-design made good progress over the year, adding two major new
ATM operators as customers and agreeing further software licence
sales with existing customers. As a result, the Company delivered a
record year for software licence sales, which helped profit before
tax to more than double to GBP217,000. The sales build on the
launch last year of our next generation software solution, joono,
and serve to confirm the strength of our offering to ATM owners. At
the end of the financial year, we also added approximately 1,000
ATMs located at Asda stores to our estate of ATMs available for
third party advertising.
We anticipate that in the short term the market will remain
challenging but our sales pipeline remains encouraging and the
Board remains positive about the Group's growth prospects in the
longer term."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
i-design made good progress over the year, adding two major new
ATM operators as customers and agreeing additional software licence
sales with existing customers. As a result, i-design delivered its
best ever year for software licence sales. The sales build on the
launch last year of our next generation software solution, joono,
and serve to confirm the strength of our offering to ATM owners.
The total number of major banking networks which have licensed
software from us now stands at ten and includes both domestic and
overseas banking networks.
Software licence sales also represent our most profitable
revenue stream and this year's record software licence sales helped
profit before tax to more than double to GBP217,000 (2011:
GBP105,000) on revenues of GBP3.28m (2011: GBP3.52m). Reflecting
the economic backdrop, sales from third party advertising were
softer year on year. However, despite continued tough trading
conditions, the second half showed a marked improvement on the
first half, with a double digit increase in media sales
revenues.
The extension of our ATM customer base in both the UK and North
America with the addition of FDR Limited (part of First Data
Corporation, the global leader in electronic commerce and payment
processing) and a leading Canadian bank, together with substantial
new licence sales from Barclays and Cardtronics, underline our
dominance within the UK ATM market, and the increasing interest we
are seeing for our solution overseas, especially North America.
This is encouraging and we continue to view our longer term
expansion prospects positively.
Results
Total revenue for the year ended 30 September 2012 was GBP3.28m
million, representing a 7% decrease from GBP3.52 million in 2011,
caused mainly by lower advertising revenues. However, the lower
advertising revenues were compensated for by higher software
revenues and this together with a capitalisation of research and
developments costs meant that gross profit was GBP79,000 higher
than 2011 at GBP1,456,000 (2011: GBP1,377,000).
Administrative costs were GBP13,000 higher than last year at
GBP1,313,000 (2011: GBP1,300,000) mainly as a result of increased
travel costs. Other income of GBP72,000 (2011: GBP24,000, including
grants of GBP5,000) represents grants received in support of the
Company continuing to develop. The Group generated an operating
profit of GBP215,000 (2011: GBP101,000) and a profit before tax of
GBP217,000 (2011: GBP105,000). These numbers are presented after
capitalisation of research and development costs in the year of
GBP132,000 (2011: GBP74,000) and a charge for amortising
capitalised research and development costs of GBP68,000 (2011:
GBPnil). Further information on this is provided in note 7. After
R&D tax credits of GBP41,000 (2011: GBP46,000), the profit
after tax was GBP258,000 (2011: GBP151,000). The basic profit per
share was 1.8p (2011: 1.1p).
The net cash outflow from operating activities was GBP42,000
(2011: inflow GBP247,000), with other investing and financing
outflows of GBP142,000 (2011: outflow GBP52,000) resulting in a
cash outflow of GBP184,000 in the year (2011: inflow GBP195,000).
The operating cash outflow was mainly as a result of a reduction in
the number of days taken to pay creditors. This reduction was
caused by the timing of revenue share payments to network
owners.
Outstanding borrowings of GBP8,000 at 30 September 2012 (2011:
GBP13,000) represent finance leases on the purchase of computer
equipment. The Group's net cash and cash equivalents position at
the year-end stood at GBP757,000, a decrease of 20% against the
same point last year (2011: GBP941,000).
Dividend
As previously indicated, the Directors intend to devote the
Company's cash resources to growing its operations. However, we
will reconsider the Company's dividend policy as and when the
Company is in a position to pay a dividend.
Business Progress
We have made very good headway over the course of the year in
developing our business and our sales pipeline remains encouraging.
Our next generation customer engagement software, joono, which we
launched in mid 2011, continues to open up new opportunities for
us. Crucially, joono enables banks to deliver highly sophisticated
customer interaction at the ATM and its architecture has been
developed to support the addition of further digital channels,
including mobile phones and plasma screens, in addition to ATMs and
self-service devices. The software also remains platform
independent, capable of installation across any type of
self-service/ATM device and, more importantly, any Windows based
ATM software application environment. At the same time as
facilitating banks' own one-to-one marketing communications with
customers, we continue to provide banks and ATM operators with the
option of using our exclusive services to generate third party
advertising revenues from their ATM estates. This is an unrivalled
combination in our industry and we continue to invest in our
product offering to ensure that we retain our market-leading
position.
As well as winning two major contracts with ATM operators, we
added an exclusive multi-year advertising agreement for ATMs
located at the stores of ASDA, the UK's second largest
supermarket.
The November 2011 signing of a major Canadian bank was, as we
have previously reported, our first licence agreement in Canada and
our first with channel partner, IBM Canada Limited. Covering the
bank's entire ATM estate in Canada, comprising over 4,000 ATMs, the
deal established us with a presence in this important territory. In
June 2012, we secured an exclusive multi-year contract win with FDR
Limited, a subsidiary of global electronic commerce and payment
processing company First Data Corporation. The contract marked the
third major sale of our marketing solution, joono, since its
launch. Also in the year, Barclays and Cardtronics, both existing
customers, each acquired additional software licences between them
significantly increasing the number of ATMs licensed to run our
software in the UK, USA and Canada.
In the second half of the financial year, in late September,
following a competitive tender process, we secured an exclusive
multi-year agreement with ASDA Money. The contract gives i-design
exclusive rights to sell advertising space across ASDA's entire
network of ATMs, totalling approximately 1,000 high transaction
volume machines. Located in ASDA stores across the UK, we believe
that this offers a compelling proposition for advertisers. The
contract helps to consolidate our third party ATM advertising
estate, which already offers advertisers access to ATMs at Tesco
stores and other high footfall high street locations as well as
numerous other locations throughout the UK.
Revenues from third party advertising typically reflect the
wider economy, which remained tough and revenues for the 12 months
under review were softer than the prior year although the second
half showed a material improvement on the first half and we
continued to retain repeat business with existing adverting clients
such as Pizza Hut, Vodafone and Camelot. New high profile ATM
advertising campaigns that we secured this year include Arla,
Danone, Batchelors, Argos and Budweiser and we continue to extend
our relationships with advertising agencies and advertisers.
After the year end, in November, we launched an add-on
component, "Favourite Transaction", to our joono software solution.
This new functionality represents an industry first and Nationwide
Building Society has rolled out the new feature across its entire
self-service estate. "Favourite Transaction" offers cardholders
their most used transactions automatically at the ATM, with no
manual setup required and also adapts to a customer's changing
transactional habits.
With ten banking networks now having adopted our marketing
software, our total licensed ATM estate currently stands at
approximately 30,000 (40% higher than 2011), of which 9,500 of
these are available for advertising, up by 1,000 on 2011.
Team Effort
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all of our staff
for their hard work and commitment during the year. We are also
grateful for the continued support of our customers and
shareholders.
Prospects
i-design's services remain market leading, with our third party
advertising offering opening up new revenue streams to network
owners and banks. The signing of two major new ATM operators as
customers this year, along with additional licence purchases from
existing clients, and an exclusive advertising agreement with a
major supermarket retailer, continues to demonstrate the appeal and
revenue generating advantages our solution offers to both ATM
owners and advertisers. The advertising market will remain very
challenging in the short term but we believe our longer term growth
potential remains encouraging, with scope to continue building our
ATM customer base as well as third party advertising revenues. We
believe that the business is well placed and the Board remains
positive about the Group's longer term growth prospects.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Publication of non-statutory accounts
The financial information contained in this announcement does
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434
Companies Act 2006. The figures for the years ended 30 September
2011 and 2012 have been extracted from the audited financial
statements. The financial statements for 2012 will be delivered to
the Registrar of Companies following the Annual General Meeting and
will be sent to shareholders in due course. Additional copies will
also be available to the public free of charge, from the Company's
registered office at 30 City Quay, Camperdown Street, Dundee DD1
3JA and from the Company's website at www.i-designplc.com.
The financial statements for the years ended 30 September 2011
and 2012 received an unqualified auditors' report which did not
contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) Companies Act
2006.
2. Accounting policies
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the
preparation of the financial statements are summarised below.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The business model of the Company together with the
principal risks and uncertainties are set out in the Operating and
Financial Review. Additionally the current financial position of
the Company is described in the Chairman's statement and note 17 to
the full financial statements and highlights the Company's Risk
management objectives and policies.
Having reviewed cash flow projections, the Directors believe
that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation
for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going
concern basis in preparing these financial statements. The
Directors believe that the continuing progress made in the
financial year in identifying software revenue streams both
overseas and in the UK and the redirection of advertising sales
focus mean that current projections are achievable.
The Directors have considered various scenarios including the
delay of certain software sales beyond the next 12 months. Under
the most extreme of these scenarios the Directors are satisfied
that costs can be reduced accordingly to enable the Company to
continue to operate within its current funding limits for the
foreseeable future. As such, they consider it appropriate for the
financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and
IFRIC interpretations endorsed by the European Union (EU) and with
those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies
reporting under IFRS.
Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of
issuance of the Group's financial statements are listed below:
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards (amendments)
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures (amendments)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments- Classification and Measurement
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (amendments)
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
IAS 27 describing the transition for amendments resulting from
IAS 27 (2008)
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Amendments relating
to classification of rights issues
The Group expects that there will be no material impact on the
consolidated financial statements resulting from the implementation
of the above standards.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
The implementation of this standard could impact on the carrying
values of the Group's assets and liabilities carried at fair
value.
Business combinations
The financial statements incorporate the financial statements of
the Company and all its subsidiaries. Unrealised gains on
transactions between the Group and its subsidiaries are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the
acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given,
equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at
the date of exchange. Acquisition related costs are expensed in the
period that the costs are incurred and the services received.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess
of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of assets and
liabilities is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition
is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary
acquired the difference is recognised directly in profit or
loss.
On 25 June 2007 i-design group plc became the legal parent
company of i-design multimedia limited in a share for share
transaction. Due to the relative size of the companies, i-design
multimedia limited shareholders became the majority shareholders of
the enlarged share capital. Furthermore, the company's continuing
operations and executive management became those of i-design
multimedia limited. Under IFRS 3 this combination has been
accounted for as a reverse acquisition in 2007.
In a reverse acquisition, the cost of the business combination
is deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary (the
acquirer for accounting purposes) in the form of equity instruments
issued to the owners of the legal parent (the acquiree for
accounting purposes). Because such consolidated financial
statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of
the legal subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of i-design
multimedia limited have been recognised and measured in the
consolidated financial statements at their pre-combination carrying
amounts. The retained earnings and other equity balances recognised
in the consolidated financial statements are the retained earnings
and other equity balances of i-design multimedia limited
immediately before the business combination. The amount recognised
as issued equity instruments in the consolidated financial
statements reflects the equity structure of i-design group plc
which includes the equity instruments issued to effect the
combination.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured by reference to the fair value of
consideration received or receivable for goods and services
provided in the normal course of business, excluding VAT and trade
discounts. Revenue is recognised upon the performance of services
or transfer of risk to the customer. The business is regarded as
one operating segment due to the nature of services provided and
the methods used to provide these services. All operations are
conducted from the UK.
Software
On a contract by contract basis revenue is recognised fully at
the point of transfer of risk and rewards of ownership to the
customer. For each contract, revenue is not recognised until it is
probable that economic benefit will flow to the Group.
Maintenance
Invoiced annually in advance and recognised evenly with
reference to the period over which the support will be
provided.
Professional services and consultancy
Invoiced and recognised on the performance of the service.
Invoiced once identifiable and agreed stages of completion of the
service have been completed based on charge out terms as agreed
with the client on a short term basis.
Advertising
The Company has exposure to the risks and rewards associated
with the provision of the service, it is responsible for all
pricing, receiving and processing orders, delivery, invoicing and
cash receipts (including the credit risk of non payment by the
advertiser) and as such is acting as principal in the sale of
advertising. The sale of advertising space and additional creative
and campaign operations services is invoiced on the date that the
advertising campaign commences (except for campaigns lasting more
than three months which are invoiced each month in advance). The
revenue in respect of advertising space is recognised evenly with
reference to the period over which the campaign will run.
Additional creative and campaign operations revenues are recognised
on the date the campaign commences.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales includes direct wages and direct costs relating to
advertising revenue. The costs relating to advertising revenue are
the revenue shares that are paid by the Company to network owners
for making the ATM space available.
Interest income
Bank interest is recognised as it is earned on an accruals
basis.
Expense recognition
Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon
utilisation of the service.
Intangible assets
Research and development
All research costs which consist predominantly of salaries are
charged to profit or loss as incurred, however costs are
capitalised as an intangible asset when recognition criteria are
met such as the technical feasibility and, in particular, it is
clear that the development expenditure will generate future
economic benefit.
Amortisation is provided on a straight line basis over the
useful life of three years subject to impairment as noted below.
Amortisation commenced in the year ending 30 September 2012. The
amortisation charge is included within cost of sales.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding
goodwill
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether
there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal impairment test
based on the discounted cash flow approach is performed and the
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to quantify
any impairment loss. Any impairment loss is recognised as an
expense immediately.
Tangible assets
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are shown at cost, net of
depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is
provided on all property, plant and equipment at varying rates
calculated to write off cost to the expected current residual value
by equal annual instalments over their estimated useful economic
lives. The principal rates employed are:
Office furniture - 20%
Computer equipment - 33%
Disposal of assets
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is
determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
The gain or loss arising from the sale is included in "other
income" or "administrative expense" in the profit or loss.
Lease and hire purchase commitments
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of
the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. Assets held under leases are capitalised
in the balance sheet at the fair value of the leased assets or, if
lower, at the present value of the minimum of lease payments plus
incidental expenses, if any, to be borne by the lessee and are
depreciated over their useful lives. The capital element of future
obligations under the contract is included in liabilities in the
balance sheet.
The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to
profit or loss over the period of the lease and represents a
constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments
outstanding.
All other leases are classified as operating leases and rentals
are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the
lease term.
Pensions
Defined contribution pension scheme
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for
certain employees. Contributions to this scheme are charged to
profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
Financial assets
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair
value which is normally the invoice value. Thereafter they are
carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. A
provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when
there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to
collect all amounts due according to the original terms of these
receivables. The amount of the provision is recognised in profit or
loss. Trade receivables do not carry any interest charge.
Cash
Cash includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks,
and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within current
liabilities on the balance sheet.
Financial liabilities
Trade payables
Trade payables are non-interest-bearing and are initially
measured at fair value and thereafter at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing loans and bank overdrafts are initially carried
at the fair value. Finance charges, including premia payable on
settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for
on an accruals basis to profit or loss using the effective interest
method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to
the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they
arise. Thereafter they are carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate.
Share based payments
All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any
share based payment are measured at their fair values. Where
employees are rewarded using share based payments, the fair values
of employees' services are determined indirectly by reference to
the fair value of the instrument granted to the employee. This fair
value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of
non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales
growth targets).
All equity-settled share-based payments are ultimately
recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding
credit to reserves.
If vesting periods or other non-market vesting conditions apply,
the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best
available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest.
Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that
the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous
estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognised
in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense
recognised in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised
are different to that estimated on vesting.
Upon exercise of share options the proceeds received net of
attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital, and
where appropriate share premium.
Government grants
Revenue grants are taken direct to profit or loss and are shown
as other income. Where grants are potentially repayable under
certain conditions they are treated as a liability until such time
as there is objective evidence that the grant will not be repayable
at which time they are taken to profit or loss. During the year the
Group received GBP71,885 (2011 - GBP5,154) of Government grants.
There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attached
to the Government assistance recognised during the period.
Taxation
Current tax is the tax currently payable based on taxable
results for the year.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method
on temporary differences. However, deferred tax is not provided on
the initial recognition of an asset or a liability unless the
related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or
accounting profit. Deferred tax is generally provided on the
difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
and their tax bases. In addition, tax losses available to be
carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the company
are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, with no
discounting. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that
it is probable that the underlying deductible temporary differences
will be able to be offset against future taxable income. Current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates
that are expected to apply to their respective period of
realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at
the balance sheet date.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the
exchange rate ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance
sheet date are translated at the exchange rate ruling at that date.
Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised
in profit or loss.
Equity
Equity comprises the following:
-- share capital represents the nominal value of equity shares.
-- share premium represents the excess over nominal value of the
fair value of consideration received for equity shares, net of
expenses of the share issue.
-- retained earnings include all current and prior period
results as disclosed in profit or loss.
-- in the Group balance sheet, share capital represents the nominal value of the shares.
-- the reverse acquisition reserve arose as a result of the
reverse acquisition. It is the difference between the fair value of
the consideration shares issued on the reverse acquisition and
their nominal value.
Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting
policies
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies,
management has made the following judgement that has the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial
statements.
Key sources of estimating uncertainty
Share based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by
reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date
at which they were granted. Judgement is required in determining
the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity
instruments depending on the terms and conditions of the grant.
During the year the Group used a Black-Scholes option pricing model
for the options. Management are required to use certain assumptions
in determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model,
including expected life of the option, volatility, risk free rate
and dividend yield. The assumptions and models used are fully
disclosed in note 8.
