Brief explanation of the figures above

eServGlobal announced on 22 November 2011 that it had changed its financial year end from 30 June to 31 October. The change of year-end is intended to better align the company's reporting period with the budgeting cycles of its customer base given the shift in customers and operations since the divestiture of the USP business and assets to Oracle Corporation.

The consolidated entity achieved sales revenue for the four month period of $7.0M (year to 30 June 2011 $42.8M). The four month period from 1 July to 31 October is traditionally a slow period for eServGlobal, incorporating Ramadan and the Northern hemisphere summer.

The EBITDA loss was $6.2M (year to 30 June 2011 EBITDA profit $52.2M). The net result of the consolidated entity for the four months to 31 October 2011 was a loss after tax and minority interest for the period of $9.3M (year to 30 June 2011 profit after tax and minority interest $39.2M). Loss per share was 4.7 cents (year to 30 June 2011: profit per share: 19.8 cents).

The operating cash flow for the period was a net outflow of $8.8M. Total cash flow for the period was a net outflow of $50.6M as a result of a dividend and capital distribution to shareholders in August 2011 ($57.1M). Cash at 31 October 2011 was $10.1M.

Subsequent Events

On 30 July 2011 eServGlobal received notification from Oracle claiming that it had or anticipated incurring losses in connection with three alleged joint customer billing issues and was entitled to be indemnified by eServGlobal pursuant to the transaction agreements in connection with these losses. Oracle had claimed against the escrow fund in connection with these losses for the amount of $11.5 million.

The claim on the escrow amount was resolved in November 2011. In accordance with the resolution, Oracle released the full $11.5M escrow amount to eServGlobal and eServGlobal paid for services delivered by Oracle.
