Chairman’s statement

I am delighted to present the results of the Group for the six month period ended 31 July 2012. The results for this period show growth in revenues as a result of the inclusion of the 1Spatial operating business ("1Spatial Business") that was acquired in November 2011.

The Board believes that management have made excellent progress during this period, particularly with respect to the 1Spatial Business. Management has spent considerable time and effort putting a new operational structure in place to enable execution of a revised strategy. This strategy is based on exploiting the opportunities in its intellectual property offering. The Board believes this new strategy puts the business in an excellent position to achieve long term growth and scalability. The Group is beginning to see the success of these changes with the new contract prospects that were recently announced to the market. Leveraging the already strong position that the 1Spatial Business has in managing the world’s largest spatial 'Big Data', this offering can be scaled and make claim to a large percentage of the spatial 'Big Data' market.

As noted in my January 2012 Chairman’s statement, we did not expect the benefits of this revised strategy to come into effect until the second half of this financial year. The initial phase of adjustment, which included re-defining roles and responsibilities of employees, was finalised during October 2012 and has resulted in an overall reduction of headcount. The Group will not get the full benefit of these cost savings until the year ended 31 January 2014. These annualised cost savings are in excess of £0.7m and we anticipate only a negligible impact on revenues.

In line with the above expectation, the Group’s Adjusted* EBITDA in the period was £20k compared to a profit of £0.6m in 2011. The 2011 figure was partly a result of the large licence sale to Unilever which has not been repeated in this period, however the Group has already had success with licence sales during the second half of the year. Firstly, with the sale to the US Government Bureau which was announced on 3 October 2012 and secondly with the announcement of the preferred supplier status with Ordnance Survey Ireland announced on 17 October 2012, which we are hopeful will result in a firm order in the near term. One of the key focus areas of the Group’s new strategy going forward is focus on product development and software licence sales for National Mapping Agencies ("NMA’s") and this profitable revenue stream is expected to increase in the second half of the year and in future years.

In my last statement, I noted that management was still keen to review other acquisition opportunities to accelerate the growth of the business and provide more scale and synergistic opportunities. Whilst the new licence sales and cost reductions should enhance profitability, the Board still believes an acquisition will increase earnings potential and therefore continues to review potential opportunities.

The common focus for all companies within the Group is to provide end users of data with assurance over its quality and insight into its significance. This is part of the ‘Big Data’ concept.

Also during the period, we recruited a new Group Marketing Director, Alison Masters. Alison has been in senior positions at both Oracle and Microsoft and has significant experience in the IT sector. We believe Alison is a significant asset to the Group and will be key in driving all the Group's businesses forward.

Financial position

Revenues for the six months were £6.4m, which is a 146 per cent. improvement on the revenues of the previous period of £2.6m. The main reason for this is the inclusion of the 1Spatial Business in these 2012 results. Included within the revenues of £6.4m is £1.5m of recurring annuity revenues in relation to support and maintenance.

The Adjusted* EBITDA profit measure is £20k compared with £0.6m in the previous period as a result of the Avisen revenues attributable to Unilever as noted above.

Amortisation has increased from £0.2m to £0.5m as a result of the inclusion of the 1Spatial acquisition in the results to July 2012. In addition, strategic and other exceptional items have also increased from zero to £0.3m mainly as a result of the costs associated with redundancies.

During the period, the Group closed down its loss making Avisen Netherlands business. This has been disclosed in discontinued operations and made an adjusted* EBITDA loss of £50k. This closure will have a positive impact on the results of the Group in the second half.

Taking account of the above items, the overall result for the six month period to July 2012 for all operations was a loss of £1.1m compared with a profit of £0.8m in the previous six months.

The Company had a strong balance sheet at 31 July 2012 with net assets of £10.1m compared with net assets of £7.9m at 31 July 2012. The increase is net assets is as a result of the inclusion of the 1Spatial Business. The net asset position includes a strong cash position of £3.1m with minimal borrowings.

The cash flow from operations was an outflow for the period as a result of the exceptional one-off costs in the period mainly in respect of redundancies. There are further redundancy costs to be charged in the second half of the year, but once these payments are finalised we expect the Group to be cash positive on a monthly basis from an operations perspective. Overall cash generated in the period was £0.3m. The key components of this were the cash outflow from operating activities of £0.4m coupled with £1.3m deferred cash consideration received in respect of the disposal of Inca in 2011 and other smaller outflows including fixed assets of £0.4, deferred consideration payable and debt repayments totalling £0.2m.

Trading business update

As mentioned earlier, the Group has been undergoing a period of review particularly within the 1Spatial Business. An update on the activities of each trading entity is set out below:

1Spatial Business

Revenues for the six month period were £5.0m and adjusted* EBITDA was £0.7m. Management were pleased with these results in light of the fact that this period was a phase of review and consolidation. With the new management team and strategy in place the Board believes that the business is in a good position for future profitability from both a revenue growth perspective and a lower fixed cost base (c.£0.7m annualised cost savings made).

With the focus on our product offering and positioning, we now have greater clarity and opportunity to market and sell our products. With the comprehensive offering of the '1Spatial Management Suite', which provides the full spatial data management solution, we can now offer a scalable approach through the product family to a greater market potential than previously. In addition, with our revised '1Spatial Cloud' offering we can supplythis to a broader market, not only directly, but also through our growing partner network.

We are pleased with the recent preferred supplier status given to the Company by OSi, evidence of the strength of our relationship with this long standing customer, and also the recognition of our expertise in data quality with the customer win at the US Government Bureau.

Avisen

Avisen had revenues in the period of £1.2m (2011: £2.5m) and an adjusted EBITDA of £0.1m (2011: £1.0m). The reason for the decrease in revenues and profit was due to the large perpetual licence sale to Unilever in 2011 ("Cost to Serve Project") as noted above, which was not repeated in 2012. During the period to July 2012 the Company has continued to work on the Unilever Cost to Serve Project and is in the process of delivering the solution globally. The profitability of the Company has also suffered due to the high staff fixed cost base. Management have left the cost base at this level for the period to allow development of the product and service offering to other potential

Page 5: · Web viewAlison has been in senior positions at both Oracle and Microsoft and has significant experience in the IT sector. We believe Alison is a significant asset to the Group and

customers. Management intend to place more focus on this business in the second half of the year and review the cost base. On a positive note, the Company continues to be actively involved in a number of potential opportunities within the Unilever business and is hopeful that some additional revenues will transpire as a result of this in the second half of the year.

Storage Fusion

Storage Fusion had revenues in the period of £0.2m (2011: £0.2m) and an adjusted EBITDA of £37k (2011: loss of £55k). Revenues are at the same level as 2011 which is slightly behind the Board’s expectation for this half year, however the Board is still confident in its product offering and believes it will be able to secure further storage vendor partnerships during the remainder of the year in order to enhance revenue and profitability. With its Cloud enabled offering, it provides a cost effective way to measure data storage usage and consumption, and with the huge growth forecast in the software-as-a-service ("SaaS") marketplace, the Storage Fusion product is very attractive and has great potential. The Storage Fusion brand has recently been refreshed and the product offering redefined to offer greater clarity, along with releasing a new product offering focusing on the virtualisation and chargeback markets.

This business will be a key area of focus for the management team during the second half of the year, and we will build on the recent additions to the product offering to broaden the market and sales potential.

Head office costs

Total head office costs in the period have increased to £0.8m from £0.4m in the previous comparative period. This is as a result of the additional head office costs incurred by the 1Spatial Business. These costs should decrease in the second half as a result of the departure of former director Nicholas Snape in June 2012.

Conclusion and outlook

The last six months have been a period of consolidation. We have revised our strategy within the 1Spatial Business and have the right people in place to support this strategy along with a significantly reduced fixed cost base. Since the period end we have also secured a key contract with a US Government Agency and have been made a preferred supplier on a pivotal key contract in the NMA market. We have some areas to focus on within the Avisen and Storage Fusion businesses during the second half of the year, but we anticipate having these in a significantly better position by the year end.

Between now and the year end we have a lot of hard work to do but believe we have excellent prospects to improve our results and cash flow generation in the shortand longer term.
