The business operates in two divisions: Agency Services and Media & Analysis. The performance of the business in these two areas is shown in note 4.

 

EBITDA in the Agency Services division has fallen slightly to £1.14m (2013: £1.37m), which is partially due to the creation of a new team in Content Marketing. This new team is already starting to show promising signs with a number of new client wins. Pleasingly, our efforts to build the profile of the business following the name change in 2013 have been recognised with the award for "Best Large Agency" at the Prolific North Northern Marketing Awards.

 

The Media & Analysis division has shown significant growth with gross profit increasing to £8.28m (2013: £3.09m) and EBITDA increasing to £2.24m (2013: £0.90m). This includes a full six months of trading from Epiphany which is performing in line with expectations.

 

Net debt at 30 September 2014 was £5.52m, down from £5.81m at 31 March 2014.

 

Overall, the start to the year has been very positive following the re-structuring last year.  The new shape of the business is providing a higher degree of recurring revenues, more cross-selling opportunities and access to the digital data from which our data scientists can develop innovative products and services.

1.     General Information

 

Jaywing plc (the "Company") is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The registered address is Players House, 300 Attercliffe Common, Sheffield, S9 2AG.

 

The interim financial information was approved for issue on 25 November 2014.                        . 

 

 

2.     Basis of preparation

 

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2014 have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are carried at fair value.

 

The financial information for the year ended 31 March 2014 set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.  The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.  The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain statements under Section 498 (2) or Section 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

 

 

 

3.     Accounting policies

 

Except as described below, the principal accounting policies of Jaywing plc and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are consistent with those set out in the Group's 2014 annual report and financial statements.

 

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

 

The following standards and interpretations of relevance to the Group have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group:

· IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective 1 January 2018)

· IAS 27 (Revised), Separate Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2016)

· IFRS 15 Revenue for Contracts with Customers (effective 1 January 2017)

 

These standards and interpretations are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

 

Other standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective are not considered to have any relevance to the Group.

 

 

4.     Segment information (unaudited)

 

The Group reports its business activities in two areas: Agency Services and Media & Analysis being its two primary business activities. Unallocated represents the Group's head office function, along with intragroup transactions.

All the Group's activities are carried out within the UK.

As the loans are at variable market rates their carrying amount is equivalent to their fair value.

 

The borrowing facilities available to the Group at 30 September 2014 were £2.5 million (2013: £3.9 million) and, taking into account cash balances within the Group, there was £3.8 million (2013: £2.1 million) of available borrowing facilities.

 

A composite accounting system is set up with the Group's bankers, which allows debit balances on overdraft to be offset across the Group with credit balances.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO JAYWING PLC

 

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the interim financial information in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2014 which comprises the consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated interim balance sheet, the consolidated interim cash flow statement, the consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1 to 10.  We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the condensed set of financial statements.

 

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in ISRE (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.

 

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim financial information are consistent with those which will be adopted in the annual accounts having regard to the accounting standards applicable for such accounts.

 

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. The interim financial information in the half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation in note 2. 

 

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the interim financial information in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

 

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2014 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of accounting described in note 2.
