Note: numbers in summary financials may not necessary total due to rounding

John Conoley, Executive Chairman, eServGlobal, said: "These numbers confirm the very poor year that was 2015 for eServGlobal. The consequent effect is that working capital remains tight in terms of operational cash flow in the short term. We expect to begin a recovery in the second quarter of the 2016 financial year. The Board and management are targeting generating operational cash in 2016 based on better management, better control, better sales execution, and the substantially lower cost base."

"eServGlobal's Board remain confident in the long term prospects for the HomeSend joint venture based on continued progress in 2015. HomeSend achieved 386% growth in live corridors during the 12 months to 30 November 2015. The joint venture has seen growing traction with the world's leading money transfer operations on the sending side and the opening of key new markets, such as China, on the receiving side. The coming year is crucial as the business transitions from the start-up phase, focussing on structural development, into a growing business beginning to focus on growing volumes through a widening number of active corridors. The Board of eServGlobal expects significant progress in 2016"

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The consolidated entity achieved sales revenue for the year of A$25.9 million (2014: A$31.3 million).

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") was a loss of A$24.2 million after foreign exchange gains of A$0.9 million and share based payments of A$0.1 million (2014: EBITDA profit of A$28.6 million after foreign exchange losses of A$0.4 million and share based payments of A$0.4 million).

The net result of the consolidated entity for the year to 31 October 2015 was a loss after tax and minority interest for the period of A$33.7 million (2014: profit after tax and minority interest A$14.2 million). Included in this result was an income tax expense of A$2.1 million (2014: income tax expense of A$13.5 million). Loss per share was 12.8 cents (2014: earnings per share 5.6 cents).

The operating cash flow for the year was a net outflow of A$15.7 million (2014: net outflow A$4.1 million). Total cash flow for the period was a net inflow of A$1.0 million (2014: net outflow of A$1.3 million). Cash at 31 October 2015 was A$5.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the core business was a loss of A$10.4 million. The main adjustments to the total EBITDA loss of A$24.2 million are for the equity-accounted share of the losses of the HomeSend joint venture company of A$3.8 million, non-recurring costs of A$3.3 million and the debtor and work in progress provisions of A$6.9 million made after impairment re-assessment of prudent provisioning policies.

The loss for the year includes significant provisions for old debtors and work in progress, together with a full impairment of the carrying value of goodwill.

The group operates in jurisdictions where delays are frequently encountered in receipting invoiced receivables due to banking and other regulatory issues, and where political instability and other factors can cause delays in provision of contractual services to customers. This has led to a historical and continuing high level of trade receivables and work in progress relative to the group's operational revenues. In the current year the new management team have undertaken a detailed review of the trade debtors and work in progress position and have changed the method adopted in estimating the required provision against these balances. The new method requires, unless particular circumstances dictate otherwise, a full provision to be adopted against trade receivables where these are overdue by more than 12 months and a full provision against recorded work in progress to be adopted where there has been inactivity on a particular contract (beyond the control of the group) for a period of 12 months or longer. These new provisioning estimation methods have resulted in the significant provisioning expense being recorded in the current year of A$4.6 million in respect of trade receivables and A$2.3 million in respect of work in progress. Management are confident that these policies are prudent and appropriate in recognition of the particular regulatory and political hurdles the company faces in the geographical regions in which it presently operates.

In light of the Group's poor performance in the current year, and in response to the Goodwill impairment assessment that has been undertaken by management as is required under Accounting Standards, the directors have resolved to fully impair the recorded carrying value of Goodwill in the statement of financial position totalling A$4.0 million. Whilst the historical Goodwill balance was attributable to the overall cash generating unit in which the group presently operates, the Goodwill is not seen to be directly related to the primary current and future income streams of the business and has therefore been impaired in full in the current year's accounts.

The full unaudited accounts are presented in the Appendix 4E.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

In FY15, eServGlobal reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of A$10.4M (£5.2M) for the core business. As previously announced, delays in closing certain high margin orders before year-end have impacted the Company's FY15 results, however these projects remain largely in the pipeline and it is expected they will be booked in FY16. In addition to these contract slippages, significant additional costs were incurred in delivering prior period projects, in turn causing further delay in recognising work in progress.

Total overheads in FY2016 are planned to be below A$14M, against a backdrop of approximately A$20M incurred for FY2015. The Company is targeting revenues of A$31 - A$34M in FY2016 and expects to be EBITDA positive for the year (a reduced cost base and improved sale process is expected to support a breakeven point of A$29 - A$31M in revenues). Substantial changes, including changes to the sales process and structure, are now largely complete and the Company will continue to focus on cost and process optimisation going forward.

With a streamlined and revitalised Board and management team, the Company is now better positioned to drive effective cash collection and deliver revenue growth. PayMobile 3 is the platform on which eServGlobal can execute. The Company's attention is now firmly on improving gross margins and revenue generation, and with our improved sales processes and streamlined costs, the Company is capable of exceeding a 20% EBITDA margin and with greater predictability. eServGlobal, however, remains cognisant of the usual macro and execution risks that any company may face (particularly in the emerging markets in which the Company operates).

During FY2015, Duncan Lewis, Francois Barrault and Paolo Montessori left the Board of Directors of the Company, with Stephen Blundell stepping down after year-end.

Core business: Mobile money and mobile financial services

eServGlobal offers best-in-breed mobile money and advanced recharge for emerging markets. eServGlobal develops and implements technology solutions which enable simple and secure financial inclusion, through the mobile phone, for people across the world.

Developments throughout the year:

· Completion of the PayMobile 3.0 platform, a mobile money and advanced recharge technology for emerging markets.

o PayMobile 3.0 is now live in 5 customer sites and the Company is realising the benefits of offering a true industrialised product. The first end-to-end implementation of the standardised platform was completed for a customer in Botswana. This project was completed 35% faster than previous projects on PayMobile 2.0, allowing payment milestones to be reached earlier while investing less time and resources in development.

o Adoption of a new hardware architecture and a new handling process with PayMobile 3.0, making significant time savings through software standardisation. This approach brings the average project duration down from 6 - 8 months to 3 - 5 months, which equals to a 43% average saving in time and resources costs.

o Opportunities for both gross margin enhancement over time and for easier cash collection.

· eServGlobal launched a white-label smartphone app to cater to the increasing penetration of low-cost smartphones in emerging markets. The app has already been sold to five existing customers, including services in Armenia and Somalia. The app will make eServGlobal's PayMobile 3.0 solution more attractive to new customers looking for a comprehensive mobile money solution. It will also encourage the subscribers of existing customers to increase usage of their mobile wallet, therefore generating extension and upgrade projects.

· The company has made continued progress within the Zain Group. eServGlobal was featured as a key Technology Partner at the Zain Group's Technology Conference in December 2015.

o eServGlobal now has live services in four Zain affiliates.

HomeSend: International remittance

HomeSend is a disruptive, multilateral global payments hub that allows all players in the global payments space to interoperate via a single connection. HomeSend, as a B2B solution, plays a unique role in offering interconnectivity between MTOs, Telcos, Banks, Mobile Money Providers and Financial Service Providers. Through a connection to HomeSend, hub members can offer their subscribers (individuals, business, state bodies or NGOs) the ability to send money to and from bank accounts, mobile money accounts, payment cards or cash outlets - regardless of their location or that of the receiver. HomeSend natively interfaces with eServGlobal's domestic mobile money platform, providing a synergy between the two solutions.

HomeSend has been operating as a joint venture of MasterCard, eServGlobal and BICS since April 2014. During FY15, the joint venture has made substantial progress in corridor deployment; expanding customer coverage, both geographically and in terms of the types of partnerships; and progress on strategic initiatives such as the payment institution licence and move to a new PCI-DSS compliant data centre.

Developments and highlights throughout the year:

· Significant progress in corridor deployments with 2,362 live corridors at end of November 2015, a 50% increase from June 2015 and a 386% increase since November 2014. New connections are going live each month, connecting over 200 sending countries and 33 receiving countries, representing more than 100% increase in sending countries since November 2014.

· As new corridors go live, the number and volume of transactions continues to climb. 301% annual growth in transaction volume compared to November 2014.

· HomeSend is establishing itself as the backbone of the mobile money transfer ecosystem. During FY15 the hub significantly expanded its coverage, both geographically and in terms of the types of service providers:

o HomeSend's customers include several of the Top 10 MTOs worldwide, including MoneyGram, WorldRemit and Skrill. In FY15 HomeSend added to this with the launch of live services for Azimo and Transfer Galaxy.

o In November 2015, HomeSend announced an agreement with GeoSwift, opening the substantial Chinese market to the hub. HomeSend's global partners can now send money directly to consumers and businesses in China, in local currency.

o Throughout the year, HomeSend also announced agreements in several new markets including Armenia, South Africa, Sir Lanka, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Fiji.

· MasterCard continues to show strong support for the joint venture, opening several new opportunities throughout the year. HomeSend will facilitate the international remittance capabilities for MasterCard Send, an end-to-end, digital platform that will leverage the industry-leading MasterCard network, paired with key capabilities from other personal payments platforms including HomeSend.

· During FY15 the HomeSend Management team presented a strategy to accelerate growth to capitalise on current demand. The strategy includes:

o Co-funded marketing initiatives to stimulate subscriber demand

o Requirement for a new data center which is PCI-DSS compliant as a pre-requisite to connect to the MasterCard network

o Acquisition of payment institution license (required to provide services in several key markets)

The requirement for extra capital from JV partners (€3.5 million eServGlobal contribution) was approved by the Board in September 2015. eServGlobal paid €0.875 million ($1.353 million) on 14 October 2015 and is required to pay the balance of €2.625 million ($4.059) on 15 April 2016.

HomeSend's aspiration is to become the largest processor of digital remittances and to drive the shift to digital.

OUTLOOK

The Company expects to achieve a small EBITDA surplus for the core business in the 2016 financial year with some revenue growth and a substantially lower cost base.

Working capital remains tight in terms of operational cash flow in the short term. A recovery is expected to start in the second quarter of FY16. The company expects to require the second tranche of the loan facility from Henderson Global Investors of £2.5 million (A$ 5.0 million) before 31 March 2016, partly to underpin working capital requirements and also to repay the National Australia Bank loan of A$3.0 million which is due for repayment on 31 March 2016. The Board and management are targeting generating operational cash in 2016 based on better management, better control, better sales execution, and the substantially lower cost base.

The Company remains confident in the long term prospects for the HomeSend joint venture based on continued progress in 2015. HomeSend achieved 386% growth in live corridors during the 12 months to 30 November 2015. The joint venture has seen growing traction with the world's leading money transfer operations on the sending side and the opening of key new markets, such as China, on the receiving side. The coming year is crucial as HomeSend transitions from the start-up phase, focussing on structural development, into a growing business beginning to focus on growing volumes through a widening number of active corridors. eServGlobal remains satisfied with the continuing progress of the HomeSend joint venture and expects significant progress in 2016.
