Chairman's Statement
Introduction
The first half of the current financial year was a period of continued good
progress in some areas and weaker performance in others. On the positive side,
Synectics' sales to the North American gaming security sector enjoyed further
strong growth compared to the same period last year. As previously reported,
though, progress within our UK systems integration activities was slower than
anticipated. Actions were taken quickly to protect margins by reducing the cost
base in that area, although the impact of one-time charges means that the
benefit of these reduced costs will not show through until the second half.
Financial Results
Quadnetics' results for the first half were in line with the expectations set
out in our trading statement on 28 November 2007.
This is the Company's first set of results reported under IFRS accounting
conventions, although the net impact of changes compared with the previously
applied UK GAAP has not had a material effect on underlying profits.
Consolidated turnover for the half year was £35.9 million (2006/7: £30.9
million). This increase of just over 16% was flattered by approximately £3
million of additional turnover from low margin capital works performed by
sub-contractors in accordance with agreements with our retail managed services
clients. Excluding this effect, like-for-like turnover increased by 7.3%.
Underlying profits (that is, profits before tax, goodwill reduction in respect
of tax losses and share-based payment charges) were £1.3 million (2006/7: £1.8
million). Profit Before Tax was £2.0 million (2006/7: £1.4 million) after
benefiting from a credit of £0.8 million in respect of share-based payment
charges that the Board believes should be reported separately to avoid obscuring
the true operating performance. Underlying earnings per share (after tax) were
6.0 pence (2006/7: 8.7 pence), and basic earnings per share 8.8 pence (2006/7:
6.6 pence).
These results also reflect the significant decline in the US dollar exchange
rate, with an impact across the Group estimated to be around £0.2 million for
the half year. Subsequent to 30 November, part of the dollar decline has been
reversed and, if this position is maintained until our year end, we would expect
an exchange gain in the second half.
Cash Position
Net cash as at 30 November improved to £7.8 million (30 November 2006: £6.3
million; 31 May 2007: £5.6 million), aided by proceeds of £2.1 million from the
sale and leaseback of Synectics' headquarters building in Sheffield purchased in
March 2007.
Dividend
An interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share (2006/7: 2.0 pence) will be paid on
14 March to shareholders on the register at 15 February 2008.
Operating Review
Quadrant Security
The Group's security services division, providing integrated security systems,
mobile surveillance and security management support services.
Turnover £26m
Operating Profit £1.3m
Quadrant reported turnover increased to £26.0 million for the period (2006/7:
£22.9 million) although, as noted above, almost all of this increase derived
from additional capital works for retail managed service clients. Gross profits
for the division were essentially flat compared with the first half last year.
Underlying operating profits were £1.3 million (2006/7: £1.7 million), including
the redundancy costs already mentioned.
The major operating factor contributing to this first half financial performance
was the previously reported slowdown in finalisation of orders and delivery
schedules from central government customers in the UK and Middle East. It is
encouraging to note that such timing issues have now noticeably abated, with
important new orders received in both these areas. In total, the division's firm
order book at 30 November was approximately 50% higher than at the corresponding
point last year, underpinning expectations for the remainder of the year.
Synectics
The Group's security technology division, providing security network products
and software, hazardous area systems and high security surveillance technology.
Turnover £10.6m
Operating Profit £0.7m
Synectics grew turnover by 22% to £10.6 million (2006/7: £8.7 million), on which
it made an underlying operating profit of £734,000 (2006/7: £649,000).
Performance was to a certain extent held back by delays in the launch of
Synectics' new digital product range, due primarily to component supply issues
that have now been satisfactorily resolved. Initial orders for the first product
in the range have exceeded expectations, and customer trials of Synectics'
important new mobile surveillance products are now well on track.
Progress in sales to the gaming industry in North America continued to be
strong, and the pipeline of orders anticipated in the second half is robust. We
invested further to support our strategy of increased proprietary software
content in Synectics' sales, and our flagship Synergy system management and
control software continues to gain recognition as the premier product available
in this growing area.
Outlook
Quadnetics enjoys the benefit of an attractive and dynamic underlying
marketplace for electronic security systems, despite occasional volatility from
the timing of major projects. We are confident that our strategy of focusing on
specialised, highly demanding applications within the overall market will
continue to deliver long term growth and value to shareholders. Overall order
books, bid pipelines and the initial market response to Synectics' new products
together support an unchanged positive outlook for the second half of this year
and beyond.
Nevertheless, the Group's expected results this financial year are weighted even
more than usual towards the year end. In light of the inevitable risk this
implies, and against an increasingly uncertain worldwide economic background, a
note of caution is in order. Quadnetics is profitable, with a strong, ungeared
balance sheet and a well-diversified, primarily blue-chip, customer base skewed
to sectors of the economy (government high security, gaming, oil and gas,
transport, food retailing) that have historically been less exposed to any
general downturn. The Board will continue to ensure that the Company's approach
gives weight to these strengths, as well as to the exciting opportunities we see
to build on the market and technology positions Quadnetics has successfully
established over the past few years.

Notes
1. Basis of preparation
The AIM Rules require that the next annual consolidated financial statements,
for the year ending 31 May 2008, be prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU ('adopted IFRSs').
AIM-listed companies are not required to comply with IAS 34 'Interim Financial
Reporting' and accordingly the Company has taken advantage of this exemption.
This interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of the
recognition and measurement requirements of adopted IFRSs as at 30 November 2007
that are effective (or available for early adoption) at 31 May 2008, the Group's
first annual reporting date at which it is required to use adopted IFRSs. Based
on these adopted IFRSs, the directors have applied the accounting policies, as
set out below, which they expect to apply when the first annual IFRS financial
statements are prepared for the year ending 31 May 2008.
However, the adopted IFRSs that will be effective (or available for early
adoption) in the annual financial statements for the year ending 31 May 2008 are
still subject to change and to additional interpretations and therefore cannot
be determined with certainty. Accordingly, the accounting policies for that
annual period will be determined finally only when the annual financial
statements are prepared for the year ending 31 May 2008.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 May 2007 are not taken
from the Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. However, the 'UK
GAAP as previously reported' figures for that year included in the
'Reconciliations from UK GAAP to IFRS'
(Note 7) have been extracted from those accounts, which were prepared under UK
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, have been reported on by the Group's
auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors
was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the
auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and
did not contain statements under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act
1985.
These consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of
Directors on 6 February 2008.
The accounting policies applied by the Group resulting from changes for IFRS are
set out below. In all other respects, they are the same as those applied by the
Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31
May 2007.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisitions of subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures. As part of its transition to IFRS, the Group elected not to restate
those business combinations that occurred prior to 1 June 2006. In respect of
these acquisitions, goodwill represents the amount recognised under the Group's
previous accounting framework (UK GAAP). For acquisitions on or after 1 June
2006, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative, it is
recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The carrying
amounts are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. Where there is, the recoverable amount is estimated
and an impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount.
Employee benefits
As a result of specific guidance contained in IAS 19 'Employee Benefits', the
Group recognises an accrual for untaken holiday pay at the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised on all taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and
its carrying amount in the balance sheet.
2. Segmental analysis
Turnover and underlying operating profit (operating profit before goodwill
reduction and share-based payments credit or charge) derives from the Group's
two business segments as follows:

Central costs (827) (683) (1,572)
1,235 1,648 5,084
3. Share-based payments
The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments and cash-settled
share-based payments to certain employees in the form of share options under the
Group's share option schemes, and awards under the Quadnetics Group Employee
Share Scheme respectively.
Based on the Company's share price as at 30 November 2007, the liability in
respect of share-based payments has fallen by £805,000 and accordingly this
amount has been credited to the income statement.
4. Tax charge
The tax charge for the period is based on the estimated rate of corporation tax
that is likely to be effective for the full year to 31 May 2008.
5. Dividends
An interim dividend of 2.5p per share (2006/07: 2.0p), totalling approximately
£388,000 (2006/07: £300,000) will be paid on 14 March 2008 to shareholders on
the register as at 15 February 2008.
