New customer in our Digital Solutions unit from the Oil & Gas sector, an industry which presents an opportunity for growth

New product, Scientific Publishing and Remittance Integration Services ("SciPris"), has been successfully launched and deal signed with an existing client. More deals under negotiation with existing and new customers. Revenue generation expected to start in H2 of 2018

Steady work streams from core customers, however 3% decline of aggregate revenue from services in content division ($34.6m in H1 2018 vs $35.7m in H1 2017) attributable to conclusion of one-time projects

Successful generation of efficiencies in "Other expenses" of more than 3% ($4.7m  in H1 2018 vs $4.8m in H1 2017)

Increased focus on division-specific higher margin work, particularly in non-voice based processes including content writing, financials, entertainment gaming support, content technology and digital solutions

Leaner organization using technology effectively and optimizing utilization of the Company's resources to handle greater volumes from key customers without notable additional human resource

 

·     US based sales team following strategy to: 1) enhance and grow key accounts; 2) identify and win new business from both new and existing customers; and 3) cross-sell and generate leads for additional services across all verticals of the company.

 

Marc Vassanelli, Chairman of iEnergizer, commented:

 

"As the growth in revenue and profits demonstrates, whilst at the same time maintaining our focus on cost efficiencies, we are seeing real progress across the Company, and are pleased to report iEnergizer's continued strong performance in the first half of this financial year.

 

"This reflects our continued focus on recurring revenue streams from business critical processes, new product launches in the Content division and long term customer relationships with both existing and new customers, as well as the highly valued ongoing hard work and dedication of colleagues across iEnergizer.

 

"The Company's healthy cash position, together with its cash generative business model, puts us in a strong position to invest in both organic and inorganic growth opportunities in the periods ahead.

 

"We expect current market trends to continue through the second half of the year and look forward to the remainder of the year with confidence."

·     IFRS9 Financial instruments

 

In July 2014, the IASB completed its project to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement by publishing the final version of IFRS 9: Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 introduces a single approach for the classification and measurement of financial assets according to their cash flow characteristics and the business model they are managed in, and provides a new impairment model based on expected credit losses. IFRS 9 also includes new guidance regarding the application of hedge accounting to better reflect an entity's risk management activities especially with regard to managing non-financial risks. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, while early application is permitted. The management is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

·     IFRS15 Revenue from Contract with Customers

 

IFRS 15 supersedes all existing revenue requirements in IFRS (IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue and related interpretations). According to the new standard, revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. IFRS 15 establishes a five step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer (with limited exceptions), regardless of the type of revenue transaction or the industry. Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue; information about performance obligation; changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The effective date for adoption of IFRS is annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the above pronouncements on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 16 Leases

 

On January 13, 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the final version of IFRS 16, Leases. IFRS 16 will replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 16 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 (but not yet endorsed in EU), though early adoption is permitted for companies applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 16 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

4.   SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

 

When preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

 

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017.

11.  SEGMENT REPORTING

 

Management currently identifies the Group's three services lines real time processing, back office services and content delivery as operating segments on the basis of operations. These operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis of adjusted segment operating results.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by reportable segments. The Group's reportable segments are as follows:

 

1.    Real time processing

2.    Back office services

3.    Content delivery

4.    Others

 

The measurement of each segment's revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. In addition, two minor operating segments, for which the quantitative thresholds have not been met, are currently combined below under 'Others'. Segment information can be analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:

These non-current financial assets and liabilities, current financial assets and liabilities have been recorded at their respective carrying amounts as the management considers the fair values to be not materially different from their carrying amounts recognised in the statement of financial positions as these are expected to realise within one year from the reporting dates. Derivative financial instruments, recorded at fair value through profit and loss, are recorded at their respective fair values on the reporting dates.

 

13.  FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

 

 Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 1 and 3 fair value measurements.

In preparing these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 March 2017 and 2016.

 

16.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 March 2017 and 2016.
