PRELIMINARY RESULTS

 FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2008



CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


We are pleased to present our results for the year to 30 November 2008. This has been a year of change for Access Intelligence. In the fourth quarter new equity was raised, new Directors appointed and two Executive Directors left the Company. The new Board has refined the strategy; there has also been a major initiative on sales and, a tough review of costs and a strengthening of the Balance Sheet.


Results


Group turnover from continuing activities was £3,967,000 (2007: £3,897,000) The operating loss before impairment on intangible assets and non-recurring expenses was £655,000 (2007: profit £44,000) and the loss attributable to shareholders was £5,876,000 (2007: £92,000).The basic loss per share from continuing operations is 3.59p (2007: 0.04p - loss). The Group has net cash and bank balances of £717,000 (2007: £833,000). 


The group acquired Solcara Ltd in November 2008 for £750,000 in cash from ArgentVive Plc, who had acquired Solcara in December 2007 for £4.5m. This represented a historic revenue multiple of 0.5x. Its founder Ray Jackson joins the Board as a Non-Executive Director.


The Directors are not recommending the payment of an ordinary dividend


Strategy


At the interims the Group announced that it was intending to sell all its non-software as a service (SaaS) businesses including Willow Starcom, Wired-Gov and The Marketing Guild. Despite considerable interest and after the completion of extensive due diligence, only the sale of The Marketing Guild was completed. The new Board has decided not to sell Willow Starcom and Wired-Gov. These two companies are profitable with strong recurring revenues, and Willow Starcom's balance sheet reflects its enviable status as a strong cash generator.


The Board intends to develop Access Intelligence further, with an emphasis on recurring revenues. Our product portfolio offers a strong bedrock on which to build a dynamic and competitive Software-as-a-Service proposition, providing us with sustainable profitability and long term value.  


Operations


Software as a Service


Due North has started to see the rewards of its investment in sales pipeline management and marketing at the beginning of the year. Recurring revenues have reached £55,000 per month and it continues to make steady progress in the local authority and emergency service sector in particular. The year has also seen a major upgrading of our core product suite. The company is profitable and with lower costs in 2009 should deliver increased profits. 


Since its acquisition in November 2008, Solcara's performance has been closely monitored and its cost base considerably reduced. We are pleased to report that the business is performing in line with expectations and that its experienced management team is proving to be an asset to the Group. Recurring revenues have reached £70,000 per month with a continued emphasis on SaaS delivery. The Company offers a diverse product portfolio with a blue chip client base covering the legal sector, industrial companies, Government Departments, Local Authorities and Police Forces. We are enthusiastic about the potential customer cross-selling opportunities between Solcara and the other Group companies, particularly Due North and Wired Gov.


MS2M failed to make any major new sales during 2008 although a significant opportunity remained tantalisingly close. Selling into the banking sector over the last 12 months has been very difficult, however increased regulation in the financial services sector for compliance should provide further opportunities. MS2M has recently been rewarded with a major deal at the Royal Bank of Scotland. I would expect this to have a favourable effect on cash flow by the end of Q209.


Data Management


Willow Starcom had a difficult year. It failed in the first half of the year to deliver sales growth, despite considerable investment in the sales team. The due diligence process through the summer was a distraction. It is to the credit of the management team that the change of policy has lead to a refocused sales effort and reductions in costs. The focus is now on outsourced IT maintenance and support services and recurring revenues now exceed £110,000 per month. The business returned to profit in the 4th quarter and this has been maintained in the current year. 


Other


Wired-Gov made a small profit in 2008 although sales fell slightly as sponsorship proved a difficult sell. Costs have been considerably reduced, and the Company has the potential to add value to other Group subsidiaries, in particular the newly acquired Solcara. 

 

Directors and Staff


I would like to thank Brendan Austin, Colin Davies and Ian Savage for their individual contributions to the Group over many years. They have left the Board during the last year.


The staff have endured many changes during the year. I would like to thank them for their resilience and resolve all of which have added to my optimism for the future.



Outlook


Access Intelligence Plc is in a stronger position than it was 12 months ago; new equity investment, a strengthened Board and a refocused strategy are combining with an increased enthusiasm of the executives of the business. Costs are under close control and will remain so. The Company is profitable and we have significant opportunities available to us during the year. 


On behalf of Access Intelligence's Board and management, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support.





Michael Jackson

Chairman

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2008



1          ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies represent the group's revised policies under IFRS which have been adopted by the group in its financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2008.

The accounting policies below have been applied consistently to both periods. The comparative income statement has been re-presented as if an operation discounted during the current year had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

IFRS transitional arrangements

Access Intelligence plc reported under UK GAAP in its previous financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2007. A reconciliation of profits as reported under UK GAAP for the year ended 30 November 2007 to the revised profits and net assets reported under IFRS as at that date was provided in the company's interim announcement issued in August 2008. Copies of this interim statement are available on the company's website.

Basis of consolidation

The group financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company and all of its subsidiary undertakings made up to the financial year end. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. Control exists when the group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of in the year are included in the Group Income Statement from the effective date of acquisition or to the effective date of disposal. Accounting policies are consistently applied throughout the group. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Material profits from inter company sales, to the extent that they are not yet realised outside the group, have also been eliminated.


  2         TURNOVER


The turnover, operating loss and net assets of the group are attributable to one class of business. The group operates from one geographical segment with all of its turnover being within the United Kingdom.


Segment reporting


Segment information is presented in respect of the group's business segments which are based upon the group's management and internal business reporting.


Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.


Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly head office expenses.


Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred in the year to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangibles, other than goodwill.


Business segments


The group comprises the following main business segments:

 
·         Software as a service
·         Data management
·         Other

8   LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE PARENT COMPANY

 

As permitted by Section 230 of the Companies Act, the profit and loss account of the parent company is not presented as part of these accounts. The parent company's loss for the financial year amounted to £5,005,000 (2007: profit £64,000).


9   EARNINGS PER SHARE


The calculation of earnings per share is based upon the loss after taxation of £5,876,000  (2007: £92,000) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year which was 114,968,122 (2007: 109,800,999). The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share is 145,028,987 (2007: 115,082,987). This has been adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive share options granted under the company's share option schemes. 


An adjusted earnings per share and a diluted adjusted earnings per share, which exclude goodwill amortisation, have also been calculated to allow shareholders to gain a clearer understanding of the trading performance of the group. This has been computed as follows:

Finance lease agreements


Included within net book value of £2,988,000 is £nil (2007: £18,000) relating to assets held under finance lease agreements. The impairment charged to the financial statements in the year in respect of such assets amounted to £16,000 (2007: £2,000).

 

Recoverability of development costs

    

An impairment review was triggered in the year for the carrying values of the intangible assets, representing the development of new projects, as a result of the change in direction of the group and its products which is to be followed by new management. As a result all previously capitalised development costs are seen to be fully impaired.


Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the group's operating companies which represent the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management accounts purposes.

 

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each business segment are:-
