Commenting on these results, Reynolds C. Bish, chief executive officer,
said: "Our second quarter software license revenue was lower than
anticipated, principally due to a mid seven figure sale in EMEA
slipping, which we now expect to close in a future quarter. Software
license revenue in the Americas was also lower than expected as we
implemented significant changes in our sales organization to improve its
focus, execution and productivity. The overall decline in software
license revenue occurred in our legacy capture products. We're pleased
to report that our new mobile capture product revenue is growing faster
than we expected and product revenues from the Singularity and Atalasoft
acquisitions grew more than 100% in both as reported and constant
currency during this last half year. We're also pleased with the high
level of cash generated from operations and our cash of $87.0 million at
quarter end."
Bish continued: "In line with our expectations, global macroeconomic
conditions continue to be unpredictable and the recessionary
environments evident in many Western European countries have not
improved. However, because the growth in our professional services
revenue is lower than we had previously expected - as a result of the
mix of our software license revenue and relatively more indirect than
direct sales, with our channel partners often providing these services -
and the lower than expected software license revenue in Q2, we are
therefore taking a conservative view and lowering our guidance for
fiscal year 2013 to no to low single digit growth in total revenue on a
constant currency basis and an adjusted EBITDA of approximately 10% less
than that reported in fiscal year 2012."
Bish concluded: "Our new product development and acquisition strategies,
coupled with the changes we've effected in our sales organization,
position us to take advantage of the market expansion and growth
opportunities validated in Forrester's market assessment. As a result,
we believe we are now at a turning point and should begin to once again
report software license and total revenue growth."

and process automation software and solutions for the business critical
First Mile of customer interactions. These begin with an organization's

organization's customer experience and greatly reduce operating costs,
thus driving increased competitiveness, growth and profitability. Kofax
software and solutions provide a rapid return on investment to more than
20,000 customers in banking, insurance, government, healthcare, business
process outsourcing and other markets. Kofax delivers these through its
own sales and service organization, and a global network of more than
800 authorized partners in more than 75 countries throughout the

Chief Executive Officer's Review
Financial Highlights
Total revenue for the six months declined 3.6% to $123.8 million or 1.6%
in constant currency. This was driven by seasonally weak software
license revenue during our first quarter and disappointing software
license revenue during the second quarter, principally due to a mid
seven figure sale in EMEA slipping, which we now expect to close in a
future quarter. During the second quarter, software license revenue in
the Americas was also lower than expected as we implemented significant
changes in our sales organization to improve its focus, execution and
productivity.
The overall decline in software license revenue occurred in our legacy
capture products. We're pleased to report that our new mobile capture
product revenue is growing faster than we expected and product revenues
from the Singularity and Atalasoft acquisitions grew more than 100% in
both as reported and constant currency during the last half year.
During that same period, maintenance and professional services revenues
grew and offset much of the decline in software license revenue.
However, the growth in our professional services revenue is lower than
we had previously expected as a result of the mix of our software
license revenue and relatively more indirect than direct sales, with our
channel partners often providing these services.
Consistent with the decline in software license revenue and more
indirect than direct sales, during the six months we closed fewer six
and seven figure sales, with only six greater than $500,000, down from
14 in the prior year period, and one greater than $1 million, down from
five.
Adjusted income from operations (Adjusted EBITDA) for the six months
decreased 29.0% to $16.1 million, or a 13.0% margin, as a result of the
decline in software license revenue, and adjusted diluted EPS for the
six months was $0.10.
We're pleased with the high level of adjusted cash generated from
operations for the six months of $14.9 million, compared to only $2.0
million in the prior year period, and the quarter end cash of $87.0
million, compared to only $62.3 million one year ago.
Operating Highlights
Our investments in research and development have continued to improve
and add to our software product offerings in order to better serve the
needs of our customers and help grow our revenue. During the six months
we successfully launched:
-
A free Kofax Mobile Capture app through the iTunes App Store and
Google Play for demonstration and use with business cards, receipts
and other documents
-
Kofax Mobile Capture™ for Mortgage App, which allows lenders to bring
the loan application process directly to borrowers at the Point of
Origination™ by leveraging mobile devices to dramatically accelerate
loan processing and improve the customer experience
This continues to exemplify how we are prudently reallocating our
research and development expenditures to better focus on mobile capture
in order to expand our vision well beyond the traditional capture market
and access additional growth opportunities. The importance of mobile
capture was recently reinforced by The Association for Information and
Image Management (AIIM) in a report entitled "Distributed and Mobile
Capture - Moving the Process Closer to the Customer," which contained
the results of a survey revealing that mobile capture is considered a
"Game Changer" for customer focused initiatives.
We were also pleased to receive continuing recognition for our software
products and market presence:
-
Kofax Web Capture™ was named to KMWorld Magazine's prestigious listing
of "Trend Setting Products of 2012"
-
Kofax Web Capture received the Editor's Choice Award and Kofax's
implementation at Exmoor National Park was named Government Project of
the Year at the 2012 Document Manager Awards hosted by DM Magazine
-
I was honored at the 2012 British American Business Awards for
leadership in the Southern California business community
-
Kofax was added to the FTSE4Good Index Series, a family of share
indexes for companies meeting globally recognized corporate
responsibility standards
Perhaps most importantly, during the period we commissioned a market
assessment by Forrester, a leading global research and advisory firm,
which concluded that the market for Kofax's software and maintenance
services at the end user level totaled $7.1 billion in 2012 and is
forecast to increase at an 18% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to
$14.0 billion in 2016. This is composed of the capture, business process
management (BPM) and information intensive vertical smart process
applications (SPAs) segments:

The findings of this research also validated the market expansion and
growth opportunities resulting from Kofax's acquisition and new product
development strategies, reinforcing our belief that we are uniquely
positioned to succeed in each of these three segments:
-
The assessment concluded that Kofax had a number one, leading 15%
share of the capture market, and in Forrester's recently published
first "Wave" for Multichannel Capture, Kofax was shown as a "Leader"
and number one in all three categories used for the ranking
-
In the BPM market segment our TotalAgility product is considered to be
"Visionary" in Gartner's "Magic Quadrant" for BPM and a "Leader" in
Forrester's "Wave" for Dynamic Case Management
-
Our vertical smart process applications strategy - first initiated
almost 12 months ago - is focused on leveraging our capture, business
process management, dynamic case management and mobile capabilities to
provide packaged solutions for information intensive customer
engagement needs across many of our existing vertical markets
No one else has the comprehensive product set needed to effectively
automate and simplify the business critical "First Mile" of customer
interactions and thereby optimize their experience and greatly reduced
operating costs. Our solutions provide a fluid bridge between an
organization's constantly evolving "Systems of Engagement" and typically
rigid, large scale "Systems of Record," which are enterprise
applications and repositories that cannot easily adapt to more
contemporary needs such as the explosion in mobile devices. Our
solutions capture and streamline the flow of business critical
information throughout an organization in a more accurate, timely and
cost effective manner, enabling our users to be more responsive to their
customers and better grow their businesses. We have a proven track
record of providing these solutions with an installed base of over
20,000 active end user customers, and we have the vertical market
expertise and global hybrid go-to-market model and reach needed to
penetrate a broad spectrum of the market. As a result, we are
enthusiastic and confident about our future prospects.
Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2013
In line with our expectations, global macroeconomic conditions continue
to be unpredictable and the recessionary environments evident in many
Western European countries have not improved. However, because the
growth in our professional services revenue is lower than we had
previously expected - as a result of the mix of our software license
revenue and relatively more indirect than direct sales, with our channel
partners often providing these services - and the lower than expected
software license revenue in Q2, we are therefore taking a conservative
view and lowering our guidance for fiscal year 2013 to no to low single
digit growth in total revenue on a constant currency basis and an
adjusted EBITDA of approximately 10% less than that reported in fiscal
year 2012.
Our new product development and acquisition strategies, coupled with the
changes we've effected in our sales organization to improve its focus,
execution and productivity, position us to take advantage of the market
expansion and growth opportunities validated in Forrester's market
assessment. As a result, we believe we are now at a turning point and
should begin to once again report software license and total revenue
growth.
Thank You
Our performance is the direct result of the dedication and hard work of
our valued employees, channel partners and suppliers, and the continued
support of our customers and shareholders. I would like to once again
thank these stakeholders for their on-going contributions to our success.

Chief Financial Officer's Review
Revenue
Total revenue decreased $4.7 million, or 3.6%, in the six months ended
December 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011 due
to an $11.2 million, or 8.8% decrease in core capture revenue partially
offset by a $6.6 million increase associated with our acquisition of
Singularity. The decrease in core capture revenue resulted from a $12.0
million decrease in software license revenue, a $0.8 million decrease in
professional services revenue and a $1.6 million increase in maintenance
services revenue.

Software license revenue decreased $10.4 million, or 18.0%, in the six
months ended December 31, 2012, due to a $12.0 million, or 21.1%,
decrease in core capture software license revenue partially offset by a
$1.7 million increase associated with our acquisition of Singularity.
Core capture software license revenue declined in all geographies due to
a combination of sales execution issues and continued economic weakness
in EMEA. Software license revenue, as a percentage of total revenue,
decreased 6.7% in the six months ended December 31, 2012, due to the
weakness in license sales compared to the relatively stable maintenance
services revenue and the growth in professional services revenue.
Maintenance services revenue increased $3.6 million, or 6.3%, in the six
months ended December 31, 2012 due to a $1.6 million, or 2.8%, increase
in core capture maintenance services and a $2.0 million increase
associated with our acquisition of Singularity. Our core capture
maintenance services revenue, on a constant currency basis, increased in
each of our geographies due primarily to high maintenance contract
renewal rates as well as the expansion of our user base.
Professional services revenue increased $2.1 million, or 14.8%, in the
six months ended December 31, 2012 due to a $2.9 million increase
associated with our acquisition of Singularity, partially offset by an
$0.8 million, or 6.1%, decrease in our core capture professional
services. Core capture professional services revenue was relatively flat
in EMEA and declined in the Americas and Asia Pacific (AP). Many, but
not all, of our professional services engagements are associated with
new software license sales, with the timing of revenue recognition of
our professional services often lagging that of our software license
revenue. Accordingly, the decrease in our core capture professional
services in the Americas and AP has followed the relative pattern of the
decrease in our software license revenue.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Software Licenses
Cost of software licenses primarily consists of royalties to third-party
software developers as well as personnel costs related to the
distribution of our software licenses. The following table reflects cost
of software license revenue, in dollars and as a percentage of software
license revenue:

Cost of software licenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 10.2%, in the
six months ended December 31, 2012, which is generally in line with the
decrease in our software license revenue. Royalty costs vary by product,
as applicable, and accordingly, the cost of software licenses as a
percentage of the software license revenue can fluctuate based on the
mix of software licenses sold.
Cost of Maintenance Services
Cost of maintenance services primarily consists of personnel costs for
our staff who respond to customer inquiries as well as associated costs
such as facilities and related overhead charges. The following table

Cost of maintenance services increased $0.7 million, or 8.4%, in the six
months ended December 31, 2012 due to $0.4 million of costs associated
with our acquisition of Singularity, as well as to our core capture
costs having increased by $0.3 million, or 3.7%, which was in line with
the growth of core capture maintenance services revenue.
Cost of Professional Services
Cost of professional services primarily consists of personnel costs for
our staff of consultants and trainers, other associated costs such as
facilities and related overhead charges, travel related expenses and the
cost of contractors, whom we engage from time to time to assist us in
delivering professional services. The following table shows cost of
professional services, in dollars and as a percentage of professional

Cost of professional services increased $2.0 million, or 16.7%, in the
six months ended December 31, 2012 due to $2.6 million of costs
associated with our acquisition of Singularity partially offset by a
$0.6 million decrease in our core capture cost of professional services.
Our gross margin on professional services decreased from 13.2% in the
six months ended December 31, 2011 to 11.7% in the six months ended
December 31, 2012 as we were not able to deploy our resources as
efficiently because the professional services revenue has not increased
as fast as we expected.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs
incurred in connection with the design, development, testing and
documentation of our software products as well associated costs such as
facilities and related overhead charges. Our research and development
expenses have been expensed as incurred. The following table shows
research and development expense, in dollars and as a percentage of

Research and development expenses increased $0.4 million, or 2.3%, in
the six months ended December 31, 2012 due to $1.7 million of costs
associated with our acquisition of Singularity partially offset by a
$1.3 million, or 8.3%, decrease in core capture research and development
expenses. The decrease in core capture research and development expenses
is due to our strategy of moving the development of certain of our more
mature products to offshore sites with lower labor costs so that we can
better focus on expanding our products beyond the traditional capture
market.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs
related to our sales and marketing staff, costs for trade shows,
advertising and other lead generating activities, as well as associated
costs such as facilities and related overhead charges. The following

Sales and marketing expenses remained relatively flat in the six months
ended December 31, 2012 as we integrated Singularity sales and marketing
operations into our core capture operations while achieving savings from
effecting efficiencies in our sales and marketing operations.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs
for our executive, finance, human resource and legal functions, as well
as associated costs such as facilities and related overhead charges.
Also included in general and administrative expenses are costs
associated with legal, accounting, tax and advisory fees. The following

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 6.8%, in
the six months ended December 31, 2012, due to a $1.8 million decrease
in our core capture costs partially offset by $0.4 million of costs
associated with our acquisition of Singularity. The decrease in our core
capture costs is due to a $1.4 million decrease in legal, accounting and
tax fees and a $0.6 million decrease in share-based payment expense.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets - We amortize acquired
intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of the respective asset. Amortization of acquired intangible
assets increased $1.3 million, or 69.3%, to $3.2 million in the six
months ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to $1.6 million of
amortization of acquired intangible assets arising from our acquisition
of Singularity.
Acquisition-related Costs - Acquisition-related costs include
those costs related to business and other acquisitions and consist of
(i) costs directly attributable to our acquisition strategy and the
evaluation, consummation and integration of our acquisitions and (ii)
transition compensation costs. Acquisition-related costs increased $1.2
million, or 65.9%, to $2.9 million in the six months ended December 31,
2012 due to a $2.5 million increase in transition compensation costs in
connection with our acquisition of Singularity partially offset by a
$1.3 million decrease in direct acquisition costs. During the six months
ended December 31, 2011 we incurred direct acquisition costs associated
with our evaluation and due diligence associated with the business
process management software market, which ultimately led to our
acquisition of Singularity in December 2011.
Restructuring Costs - Restructuring costs decreased $4.7 million,
or 100%, as there were no restructuring charges in the six months ended
December 31, 2012. In the six months ended December 31, 2011, due to a
weak economic environment in EMEA, we recorded a $4.7 million charge for
staff redundancy payments associated with headcount reductions of
approximately 60 personnel and future payments for excess unused
facility leases in EMEA.
Other Operating Expense, net - Other operating expense, net
consists of all income or expense that is not directly attributable to
one of our other operating revenue or expense lines. Other operating
expenses, net increased $1.1 million, or 133.6% to $1.9 million in the
six months ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to professional fees
incurred for attorneys, accountants and other advisors associated with
the preliminary work needed for us to affect an initial public offering
(IPO) in the United States.
Finance Income (Expense), net - Finance income (expense), net
consists primarily of foreign exchange gains or losses related to our
receivables and payables (including non-functional currency denominated
intercompany transactions), to fair value adjustments relating to
forward contracts or other financial instruments and to a lesser extent
to interest income (expense). Finance Income (expense), net changed from
a net income of $3.5 million to an expense of $1.8 million during the
six months ended December 31, 2012, as the U.S. dollar weakened against
each of the British pound, the euro and the Swiss franc while during the
six months ended December 31, 2011, the U.S. dollar strengthened against
each of those currencies.
Tax - Income tax expense decreased by $1.9 million, or 44%, to
$2.4 million while the Effective Tax Rate (income tax expense as a
percentage of income from continuing operations) increased 80 points to
117.8% in the period ended December 31, 2012. These movements are a
function of the relatively disproportionate effect of significant
expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, coupled with lower
profit from continuing operations. The Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
increased by 1 point to 32.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2012
due to impact of elements of the tax charge relative to the relatively
lower income from continuing operations.
Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax - On May 31, 2011,
we completed the sale of our hardware business. In six months ended
December 31, 2011, we recorded associated expense of $0.6 million, which
included transaction fees, legal fees, asset values, and other
administrative and transition costs. We had no such costs in the six
months ended December 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have financed our business primarily through our cash
flows from operations. We had $87.0 million of cash and cash equivalents
at December 31, 2012, compared to $81.1 million at June 30, 2012 and
$62.3 million at December 31, 2011. The majority of our cash is held in
US dollars, euros and to a lesser extent, British pounds. We had no
outstanding debt as of December 31, 2012. We have a revolving credit
facility that provides for borrowings of up to $40.0 million and matures
on June 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2012, we had $39.6 million
available under this revolving credit facility.
Adjusted cash flow from operations increased $12.9 million to $14.9
million in the six months ended December 31, 2012, which reflects the
return to a more normalized cash conversion ratio.
Net cash generated by operating activities increased $8.6 million to
$9.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2012 due to increased
cash flows from the collection of accounts receivable offset by use of
cash for a reduction in accounts payable and deferred revenue, and
increased tax payments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $5.0 million primarily due to
$4.5 million deferred and contingent payments associated with our
December 2011 acquisition of Singularity and our May 2011 acquisition of
Atalasoft. Net cash used in investing activities was $31.0 million in
the six months ended December 31, 2011, primarily relating to our
acquisition of Singularity which used $28.5 million in cash, and to a
lesser extent relating to contingent payments in connection with our
acquisition of Atalasoft.
Net cash generated from financing activities was $0.6 million in the six
months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a use of $0.3 million in the
six months ended December 31, 2011. The difference of $0.9 relates to an
incremental $1.6 million inflow related to share capital issuances as a
result of employee exercises of stock options, offset in part by a
purchase of $1.0 million of our ordinary shares from the open market for
our Employee Benefit Trust.
The Company has significant overseas subsidiaries, which operate
principally in their local currencies. Where appropriate, intra group
borrowings are arranged in local currencies to provide a natural hedge
against exchange rate movement risks.
The Company hedges certain net foreign currency cash and cash flows
relating to transactions in accordance with policies set by the Board.
Reconciliation of Non IFRS Measures
Management uses several financial measures, both IFRS and non-IFRS, in
analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business and for
making operational decisions. We believe that these non-IFRS measures
are also useful to investors and other users of our financial statements
in evaluating our performance because these non-IFRS financial measures
may be used as additional tools to compare business performance across
peer companies and periods and financial markets.
While we use non-IFRS measures as a tool to enhance our understanding of
certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that
these non-IFRS measures are a substitute for, or are superior to, the
information provided by IFRS results. As such, the presentation of
non-IFRS measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. The primary
limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS measures as compared to
IFRS results are that non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry and
that non-IFRS measures may exclude financial information that some
investors may consider important in evaluating our performance. We
compensate for these limitations by providing disclosure of the
differences between non-IFRS measures and IFRS results, including
providing a reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to IFRS results, in
order to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our operating
results.
Adjusted Income from Operations - We define adjusted income from
operations as income from operations excluding the effect of share-based
payment expense, depreciation expense, amortization of acquired
intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs and
other operating expense, net. Share-based payment expense, depreciation
expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets in our adjusted
income from operations reconciliation represent non-cash charges which
are not considered by management in evaluating our operating
performance. Acquisition-related costs consist of: (i) costs directly
attributable to our acquisition strategy and the evaluation,
consummation and integration of our acquisitions (composed substantially
of professional services fees including legal, accounting and other
consultants and to a lesser degree to our personnel whose
responsibilities are devoted to acquisition activities), and (ii)
transition compensation costs (composed substantially of contingent
payments for shares that are treated as compensation expense and
retention payments that are anticipated to become payable to employees,
as well as severance payments to employees whose positions were made
redundant). These acquisition-related costs are not considered to be
related to the continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are
generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term
performance of the acquired assets. Restructuring costs are not
considered in assessing our performance as we have not historically
incurred such costs for our continuing operations. Other operating
expense, net represents items that are not necessarily related to our
recurring operations and which therefore are not, under IFRS, included
in other expense lines. Accordingly, we exclude those amounts when
assessing adjusted income from operations. At times when we are
communicating with our shareholders, analysts and other parties we refer
to adjusted income from operations as EBITDA.
We assess adjusted income from operations as a percentage of total
revenue and by doing so we are able to evaluate the relative performance
of our revenue growth compared to the expense growth for those items
included in adjusted income from operations. This measure allows
management and our Board of Directors to compare our performance against
that of other companies in our industry that may be of different sizes.
The table below provides a reconciliation of IFRS income from operations
to adjusted income from operations and presents adjusted income from
operations as a percentage of total revenue:

Adjusted Cash Flows from Operations - We define "adjusted cash
flows from operations" as cash flows from operations as reported under
IFRS, adjusted for income taxes paid or received and payments under
restructurings. Income tax payments paid is included in this
reconciliation as the timing of cash payments and receipts can vary
significantly from year-to-year based on a number of factors, including
the influence of acquisitions on our consolidated tax attributes.
Payments for restructurings relate to a specific activity that is not
part of ongoing operations. The table below provides a reconciliation of
IFRS cash flows from operations to adjusted cash flows from operations:

Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group
is a going concern. In connection with this presentation, the Board has
reviewed the Group's forecasts and budgets, borrowing facilities, plans
and various other analyses to determine the level of uncertainties of
the business. The use of the going concern basis of accounting is
appropriate because there are no material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability
of the Group to continue as a going concern.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were disclosed
on pages 11 and 12 of the Company's 2012 Annual Report. The Chief
Executive Officer's Review includes an update on key risks in the second
half of the current fiscal year.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for
the six months ended December 31, 2012 have been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include
all information and disclosures as required in the Consolidated Annual
Financial Statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's
Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended June 30,
2012.
The financial information contained in these Condensed Consolidated
Interim Financial Statements do not comprise statutory financial
statements within the meaning of section 435 of the UK Companies Act
2006. The Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended
June 30, 2012, from which information has been extracted, were prepared
under IFRS and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The
report of the auditors was unqualified and did not contain a statement
under section 498 of the UK Companies Act 2006.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by
the Board of Directors on February 8, 2013.
1.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the Condensed
Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those
followed in preparation of the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements
for the year ended June 30, 2012.
The adoption of the standards/ interpretations that have become
effective for year 2013 have already been outlined in detail in the
Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended June 30,
2012 and were not considered to have a significant impact on these
Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
NOTE 2 OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group operates one business segment, the software business. All
products and services are considered one solution to customers and are
operated and analyzed under one Income Statement provided to and
evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM manages
the business based on the key measures for resource allocation, based on
a single set of financial data that encompasses the Group's entire
operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing
financial performance. The Group's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
There are no reportable assets that meet the criteria under IFRS 8 to be
reported under the single operating segment.

The effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of income
from continuing operations) increased due to the relatively
disproportionate effect of significant expenses that are not deductible
for tax purposes, coupled with lower profit from continuing operations.
These non-deductible expenses are excluded from adjusted profit as used
for the adjusted EPS (Note 5).
NOTE 5 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) of ($0.00) (December 31, 2011: $0.08) for
the six months ended December 31, 2012 for the continuing business have
been calculated based on a loss from continuing operations after income
taxes of $(0.4) million (December 31, 2011: $7.2 million) using the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue totalling 84.1
million (December 31, 2011: 84.7 million) during the period.
Diluted earnings per share of ($0.00) (December 31, 2011: $0.08) for the
six months ended December 31, 2012 for the continuing business have been
calculated based on income from continuing operations after income taxes
of $(0.4) million (December 31, 2011: $7.2 million) using 84.1 million,
(December 31, 2011: 89.7 million) ordinary shares. Basic ordinary shares
are used in the six months ended December 31, 2012 share calculation
since the effect of potential ordinary shares upon conversion, which
totals 88.9 million, would be anti-dilutive.
Adjusted earnings per share of $0.10 (December 31, 2011: $0.16) for the
six months ended December 31, 2012 for the continuing business have been
calculated based on Adjusted income from continuing operations after
income taxes of $8.8 million (December 31, 2011: $13.3 million) using
the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue totaling 84.1
million (December 31, 2011: 84.7 million) during the period.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.10 (December 31, 2011 $0.15)
for the six months ended December 31, 2012 for the continuing business
have been calculated based on Adjusted income from continuing operations
after income taxes of $8.8 million (December 31, 2011: $13.3 million)
using 88.9 million (December 31, 2011: 89.7 million) ordinary shares.

The Group's personnel restructuring accounts relate to reorganizations
of various operational and management functions in the years ended June
30, 2012 and 2011. Activity during the December 31, 2012 period relate
to the utilization of such provisions.
As part of the restructuring announced in the year ended June 30, 2011,
a number of the properties under operating lease became onerous. The
period-end provision represents the Group's estimate of the net cost
expected to arise across the remaining life of the lease on these
underutilized properties, which is between one and three years.
The contingent consideration accounts relate to holdback, earn out, and
employee retention payments associated with acquisitions during the
years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. On December 31, 2012, the
Singularity share purchase agreement has been amended to extend the time
period in which contingent consideration may be earned by one year.
Management has assessed a number of scenarios and based on those
scenarios estimated for financial accounting purposes that $10.4 million
of the contingent consideration related to the earn out will be paid to
former shareholders and $3.3 million related to the retention and
incentive bonus will be paid to the continuing employees.
The other provisions accounts include different various insignificant
amounts.
NOTE 7 ADJUSTED INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
The following table reconciles the income from operations before income
taxes to adjusted operating income from operations, a measure that is
used by management to measure its operating effectiveness. This measure
of performance does not hold more prominence than measures presented on

NOTE 8 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There are no material pending or threatened lawsuits against the Group
except for one filed November 29, 2012 in which the Group was named as a
defendant in a lawsuit filed by Scan EMEA Holding GmbH in Zurich,
Switzerland, alleging that the Group breached its contract with Scan
EMEA Holding GmbH in connection with the January 2011 agreement to sell
the Group's hardware business. The Group has assessed the merits of the
lawsuit, believes it cannot reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial
condition and intends to vigorously litigate this matter and to take
other actions available to it to mitigate any potential loss. Concurrent
with filing the lawsuit Scan EMEA withheld €1.5 million of the final
€2.0 million payment associated with their purchase of the Group's
hardware business.
