The gross profit realised was $8.349 million (gross profit margin: 61%) (2012: $4.990 million (gross profit margin: 40%)). EBITDA for the period was a loss of $0.327 million (2012: EBITDA loss $7.764 million).

In accordance with the Group's accounting policies, development expenditure incurred during the period of $0.862 million (2012: $0.586 million) was capitalised in the Statement of Financial Position. The expenditure related to internally generated software comprising the HomeSend platform.
During the period, the cash flow for the period was a net inflow of $1.275 million primarily resulting from the issuance of 52,198,291 new ordinary shares at 21 pence ($0.32) generating net cash receipts of $15.925 million and the full repayment of $7.200 million of shareholder loans.

As lead audit partner for the review of the financial statements of eServGlobal Limited for the half year ended 30 April 2013, I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been no contraventions of:
(i) the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the review; and

Yours sincerely

Independent Auditor's Review Report
to the Members of eServGlobal Limited
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of eServGlobal Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 April 2013, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and, the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 7 to 15.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 April 2013 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of eServGlobal Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report 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 Australian Auditing Standards 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.
Auditor's Independence Declaration
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of eServGlobal Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of eServGlobal Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 April 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The half-year financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
Basis of preparation
The condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.
The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the directors' report and the half-year financial report are rounded off the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company's 2012 financial report for the financial period ended 31 October 2012, unless otherwise stated. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current reporting period.
New and revised standards and amendments thereof and interpretations effective for the current half year that are relevant to the Group include:
·; Amendments to AASB 1, 5, 7, 101, 112, 120, 121, 132, 133 and 134 as a consequence of AASB 2011-9 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income'.
The adoption of all the new and revised standards and interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group's accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior half years. However, the application of AASB 2011-9 has resulted in changes to the Group's presentation of, or disclosure in, its half year financial statements.
AASB 2011-9 introduces new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to AASB 101, the statement of comprehensive income is renamed as a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the income statement is renamed as a statement of profit or loss. The amendments to AASB 101 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to AASB 101 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to the profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met.
Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis - the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to AASB 101 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, Other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.
