Chairman's Statement
Overview
In March, at the announcement of our 2011 Preliminary results, I noted a slower start to trading in 2012 than in the same period in 2011 but anticipated a stronger second half to the year. I am now particularly pleased to be able to announce that, as a result of earlier deliveries, operating efficiencies and the pro-active management of our cost base, SCISYS has delivered a much better set of half year results than expected and trading for the full year is now projected to be more balanced. We opened the year with a solid order book and our order intake for 2012 continues to be encouraging.
Key Financials
The drop in top line revenue of 11% compared to the same period in 2011 is more reflective of timing differences than the underlying activity levels within the business. Our results for the first half of 2011 were distorted by some accelerated public sector spending ahead of the Government clamp down and the implementation of austerity measures. We have experienced the reverse pattern this year with a number of key customers deferring spending decisions pending conclusion of the London Olympic Games.
More detailed analysis shows that the revenue drop is primarily due to a reduction in low margin pass through revenues and hardware sales (£1.7m in H1 2012; £3.3m in H1 2011). The 4% drop in professional fees is substantially accounted for by the differences in foreign exchange rates: a major element of our professional fees is earned in Euros. With the Pound strengthening against the Euro, the translation of this Euro-denominated income has resulted in lower revenues when expressed in Sterling.
Against this back cloth the 8% rise in adjusted operating profit reflects solid progress on our key objective of positioning the business to deliver margins consistently in excess of 7%. SCISYS Deutschland delivered a particularly strong first half performance that contributed heavily to the increase in adjusted earnings per share of 19%.
SCISYS remains cash generative with minimal net debt, despite having borrowed to part-fund the £5.0m purchase of our Chippenham headquarters in May 2011. The Company granted a 10 year lease on part of its surplus office space in Chippenham in February, which will generate income in line with market rents. There is current interest in other available space which potentially will aid the Company in its drive to improve net margins.
Operations
During the six month period SCISYS has made solid but steady progress across all fronts including some good contract wins and a number of key deliveries. Examples include:
Within our Media & Broadcast division the Icelandic national broadcaster RÙV in Reykjavik placed an order for the extension of its existing audio-archive system. The Division also received an order from Sharjah Media Corporation for an archive-extension to its dira!® radio system. The partnership between the BBC and SCISYS reached another major milestone with the final acceptance and successful Onair operation in total of eight new dira!®-workgroups and the combination of five more workgroups into one single homogenous dira!® environment in London to broadcast BBC World Service and BBC News. Germany's largest public broadcaster, WDR, has procured a dira!® enterprise license to run all its networks on dira!® Content Management, and an additional network at Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR, based in Hamburg) has gone live using dira!®.
Our Government & Defence division has started work on the Warrior replacement programme. Additionally and supported by our Space division, it has been awarded a contract to support the delivery of a major element of the UK MOD's CubeSat Research Programme. CubeSat is a type of miniaturised satellite, currently developed for space research that typically uses commercial off-the-shelf electronic components. CubeSats represent a disruptive technology for operational users who require rapid, low cost, short duration deployment of sensing and communications capability in Low Earth Orbit. Our project with RNLI, which is being run through our Government & Defence division, has successfully reached a significant milestone with the final sea trials being undertaken for RNLI's new design of boat known as the Shannon Class. Our SEAF™ product which is being used on the Shannon boat was also demonstrated and well received at the SeaWorks exhibition in Southampton in June.
In our Space division, as part of the European Space Agency's challenge-style innovation programme called STARTIGER-SEEKER, we completed a ground-breaking demonstration of an autonomous "Mars Rover" navigation system in the Atacama Desert, Chile, using a unique technique which offers considerable promise for both space and terrestrial unmanned vehicles of the future. With new contract wins, the Space division has also gained a foothold in the German Heinrich Hertz (H2Sat) mission on future space based communication and in the European EGNOS programme which supplements existing satellite navigation services.
In January our Environment division, working on behalf of the Coal Authority, delivered the first phase of an innovative, spatially-enabled corporate business information system known as Inferis. Inferis provides the Coal Authority for the first time an enterprise-wide, spatially-enabled solution that facilitates smarter working via corporate data sharing and service re-use.
Our Applications Management division (previously Application Support) was successful in extending or renewing a number of support contracts during the period. It also won a long term contract with a new customer - the National Trust.
Structure
Ulrich Reimers resigned as a Director at the AGM in May. Investors were given advance notice of this move in the 2011 Annual Report.
Our other non-executive Director, Klaus Meng, has now taken up an executive Director role within the Group specifically to oversee our acquisitions strategy as well as taking responsibility as Chairman for governance and corporate responsibility at our SCISYS Deutschland GmbH subsidiary. This move in part reflects the Company's pro-active drive to use the strength of its balance sheet to accelerate growth through acquisition.
The Company is actively seeking a suitable replacement for Prof. Reimers and we hope to make an announcement of an appointment by the end of the year. There have been no other changes to Directors or senior management positions within the Group. Continuity of leadership from within forms a strategic element in the succession planning for the Group.
The formal launch of our new branding at the beginning of June was another large step on being recognised as a tightly integrated pan-European IT solutions group. We are also currently undertaking several internal projects to align and improve the project reporting systems across all parts of the Group which should deliver further operational benefit in 2013.
Dividend
The Directors indicated at the AGM in May 2012 that the Board expected to maintain its progressive dividend policy at the interim stage, subject to the continued strength of trading and strong cash generation. I can now confirm that an interim dividend of 0.4p per share, representing an increase of 11%, will be paid on 14 November 2012 to shareholders on the register as at 19 October 2012. The shares are expected to go ex-dividend on 17 October 2012.
Outlook
Our trading outlook remains positive and our first half year performance provides comfort that we will meet current market expectations for the full year. Our order book at the end of July was £25.3m, an increase of 8% on the position in July 2011. The fluctuating Euro/Sterling exchange rate represents a potential concern as a large part of our revenues are earned in Euro. Consequently we have implemented currency hedging arrangements that will protect our Euro earnings and cash deposits from any further deterioration in the €/£ exchange rate this year. Our strategy continues to be that of targeting to grow professional fees revenues organically year on year as well as achieving operational improvements and efficiencies to deliver an adjusted operating margin target of at least 7% by the end of 2013. The Board is continuing its search for appropriate acquisition opportunities to accelerate growth over the short term.
Mike Love
Chairman
Financial Director's Statement
I am pleased to report that SCISYS made further progress towards achieving its corporate objectives with growth in adjusted operating profit and improved operating margins. The total revenue for the Group was £19.6m (June 2011: £22.0m). Adjusted operating profit, before share based payment charges and exceptional costs, was £1.3m (June 2011: £1.2m) and adjusted basic earnings per share were 3.1p (June 2011: 2.6p). The adjusted operating margin was 6.4% (2011: 5.5%). The statutory profit from operations was £1.0m (June 2011: £1.1m). The profit before tax for the period was £0.9m (June 2011: £1.1m) and the basic earnings per share were 2.4p (June 2011: 2.2p).
The share based payment charge shown on the face of the Income Statement reflects the costs of the Group's share incentive schemes. The charge does not affect the Group cash flow. The exceptional charges represent restructuring costs incurred in aligning future operating costs with anticipated income.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group had bank deposits (comprising cash and cash equivalents less overdrafts) of £2.9m (June 2011: £2.5m). Unutilised working capital facilities totalled £1.9m (June 2011: £2.9m). Group debt excluding bank overdrafts at the period end was £3.7m (June 2011: £4.9m).
The resulting liquidity position was net debt of £0.8m (June 2011: £2.4m). Sterling strengthened against the Euro during the half year to June 2012 which reduced the reported value of Euro cash deposits held in Germany.
SCISYS continues to benefit from the tax credit system for UK expenditure on Research & Development to the extent that the UK Group companies should be sheltered from paying corporation tax for at least the next few years. Late in 2011 SCISYS chose to surrender tax losses that arose under the UK R&D tax credit regime for both 2010 and 2011 in return for a cash rebate from HMRC. This resulted in an anomalously low reported effective tax rate for the full year in 2011 of 11% whereas the rate for the first half year, without accounting for a rebate, had been high at 38%. The effective tax rate of 26% reflected for the first half of 2012 is expected to be more representative of an ongoing rate.
The half year accounts are presented on a basis consistent with policies to be adopted for the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Report
1. | Basis of preparation of Interim Financial Information & Statement of Compliance
|
SCISYS PLC (the "Company") is a UK company incorporated in England & Wales. The consolidated half year financial statements of the Company for the six months to 30 June 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Group reports its financial results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("EU").
This interim results announcement is prepared in accordance with the IFRS accounting policies expected to be applied by the Group at 31 December 2012. These policies are unchanged from those set out by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 and available on the Group's website at www.scisys.co.uk. As permitted, this interim report has been prepared in accordance with the AIM rules and not in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and is therefore not fully compliant with IFRS. There are no new standards or interpretations endorsed by the EU during 2012 that impact on the financial results or presentation.
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2012 is unaudited and does not include all of the information required to constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. It should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011. These published accounts have been reported on by the Group's auditors and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (1) unqualified; (2) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and (3) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of these consolidated half year financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these consolidated half year financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key areas of estimation were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.
The Interim Report was approved by the Directors on 25th September 2012. |

5. | Impairment of goodwill
| ||||||||
Goodwill is tested for impairment every half year based on management's estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units (CGUs) to which the goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation is dependent upon management's estimate of future cashflows expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate.
Management has considered the estimates of cashflows and applicable discount rates and has concluded that no impairment is necessary at 30 June 2012.
