Chairman's Statement
The first half of 2016 has been one of solid delivery of
services and solutions to our customers. We have previously
referred to the deployment of a new release of our mobile banking
application at the leading UAE banking group Mashreq, working
closely with them as they roll out a new operating environment for
their own customer base. Our technical teams continue to innovate
and adapt to our customers' needs in projects such as this as well
as other deployments.
As our installed base grows there is an increase in recurring
support and maintenance revenue and we now have staff dedicated to
this role. We continue to deploy to new customers and we were very
pleased to have launched the first installation of a new retail
solution which we have developed and put into operation for a major
European retailer.
Our sales and marketing team continue the long, but potentially
very rewarding process of developing new sales channels. In
addition to the marketing partnership with ExperienceLab, commented
on previously, there are a number of initiatives being developed
and we do hope to be able to say more later in the year.
Despite the well-publicised conditions for European banks, the
demand for fintech solutions continue and there is strong interest
in our offering of products and services, particularly Card
Control. Our challenge is to convert these into active contracts
and deployments on a timely basis.
In February we appointed an additional non-executive director,
Jeremy Nicholds. He has extensive experience in the global payments
field and has already been proactive in assisting the Company with
strategic partnerships and sales.
The board does not feel that Brexit has had an immediate impact
per se, but the drop in the value of the Pound versus the Euro has
had an impact on the consolidated accounts which include the
translation of certain Sterling denominated assets.
Looking ahead to the rest of the year, the financial result
will, as noted in past years, be significantly dependent on the
timing of transactions and in particular, the speed of customer
decision-making. However, our expectation is that group revenues
will show an increase over the previous year, continuing our track
record of revenue growth for a seventh successive year.

1 Basis of preparation
The financial information contained in this half year financial
report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section
434 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the
half years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 has been neither
audited nor reviewed by the auditors.
The figures and financial information for the period ended 31
December 2015 are extracted from the latest published audited
financial statements of the Group and do not constitute the
statutory financial statements for that period.
The audited financial statements for the period ended 31
December 2015 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The
report of the independent auditors on those financial statements
contained no qualification or statement under section 498(2) or
section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with
the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and
IFRIC interpretations. The financial information has been prepared
under the historical cost convention. The statutory financial
statements are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union.
The Group has applied consistent accounting policies in
preparing the interim financial statements for the six months ended
30 June 2016, the comparative information for the six months ended
30 June 2015, and the financial statements for the period ended 31
December 2015.
As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS 34
"Interim Financial Statements" in preparing this interim financial
information.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing these half-yearly financial
statements.

3 Loss per share
Basic loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss on
ordinary activities after taxation by the weighted average number
of shares in issue during the year. None of the share based
payments were potentially dilutive at the year end and so there is
no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share.
