-Continued-Chairman's Statement

Overview

2010 was a year of considerable progress for the Company and success for its shareholders. In August Vipera GmbH completed a reverse acquisition of Ricmore Capital Plc, and Ricmore Capital Plc changed its name to Vipera Plc ("Vipera"). The principal activity of Vipera is the provision of software and services that enable mobile access to personal financial services. Its primary revenue streams come from the banking, technology and telecoms sectors that are all making the development of mobile banking and payment solutions increasingly core to their strategies. I joined the Board at the date of acquisition, and I am pleased to welcome you all to the enlarged group and to report on its affairs.

Acquisition of Vipera and Placing

Pursuant to the reverse acquisition by Vipera GmbH of Ricmore Capital Plc ("Ricmore"), an investing company under the AIM Rules, Ricmore executed a Capital Reorganisation being a Subdivision and Share Consolidation as a result of which a holder of 25 then Existing Ordinary Shares held instead one New Ordinary Share (and one Deferred Share).

For Vipera GmbH shareholders, shares were swapped for shares in Vipera Plc and shareholders either now hold these in CREST or in certificated form. The Group has raised £1,055,000 from two successful placings during the year, one at the time of the acquisition and an additional placing in November. This has given the Group a secure financial base from which to work.

Financial Results

The financial statements to 31 December 2010 reflect the trading results of Vipera GmbH for the year, the results of Vipera Plc from the date of acquisition, and the results of a new subsidiary that was formed in Italy in September 2010. In the Financial Statements set out in these Report and Accounts, the 2009 comparatives relate, under the IFRS treatment of a reverse acquisition, to the outturn for Vipera GmbH.

During the year Ricmore Capital plc received further consideration from the sale of a former subsidiary, giving rise to income of £158,000. The mechanics of accounting for the reverse acquisition also gave rise to goodwill arising on the acquisition of Ricmore Capital Plc by Vipera GmbH and the board have felt it appropriate to provide £320,000 against this goodwill enabling us to only carry that goodwill at the £351,000 of costs incurred in executing the reverse acquisition of Vipera GmbH. Excluding the impact of this impairment provision, the Group's profit before tax was £32,000.

Marketplace

Vipera now has a highly defined product offering. Through its unique technology platform it provides financial services institutions, mobile telecom operators and technology partners a highly regarded full suite of mobile financial products including m-payments, m-banking and money transfer.

Current banking and telecoms clients include Mashreq Bank, Qatar National Bank and Axiom Telecom and the Company has made considerable progress in the Middle East, undertaking work for the Ministry of Interior of Qatar and Dubai Police.

Vipera has also secured meaningful partnership agreements with leading payment institutions and technology providers including Wipro Technologies, T.N. Information Systems and Siemens. These will significantly assist the Company to compete globally in enabling the migration of financial transactions to the mobile platform. The market for these services continues to grow at considerable pace with 2.1 billion customers expected to use financial services on a mobile platform by 2013. In particular the strong traction that Vipera has made in Asia, which is set to take 51% of the US$835 billion total global market, positions us well for future uptake.

People

With staff now based in London, Zurich and Milan, our fresh capital has allowed us to treble our headcount and establish presence in the Indian market. Presence in our current strategic locations makes us ideally placed to serve our current and potential customers in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. I would like to thank all of our staff for their enthusiastic work and commitment over the last year.

Annual General Meeting

Our Annual General Meeting will be held at 1 Cornhill, London EC3V 3ND at 12.00 noon on Tuesday, 17 May 2011 and we welcome shareholders to attend our meeting and to meet our directors and staff.

Outlook

We entered 2011 with a strong balance sheet with over £1m in cash. The current business pipeline includes exciting opportunities which, combined with our growing reputation for technical excellence and a fast expanding marketplace, allow Vipera to look forward with cautious optimism.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2010

3 Total revenue and segmental analysis

IFRS 8 requiresoperating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. Management considers the business from both a geographic and activity perspective. The Group has three geographic operating segments and one single activity. The three geographic segments are located in the UK, Switzerland and Italy. These three segments are involved in the Group's single business activity, being the provision of software and services. In 2009 the activities of Vipera GmbH were conducted in Switzerland, which was the only segment at that time and so amounts shown in respect of 2009 relate to this single geographic segment.

Total revenue comprises:

*Vipera GmbH

Revenues are generated in a number of countries analysed as to:

*Vipera GmbH

*Vipera GmbH

Sales between segments are carried out at contractually agreed rates.

5 Directors

Directors' emoluments including pre-acquisition costs incurred by Vipera Plc (formerly called Ricmore Capital Plc) comprise:

*Vipera GmbH

Information regarding Directors' share options is shown under Directors' Interests in the Directors' Report.

The amounts shown include remuneration paid by Vipera Plc to the Directors in the pre-acquisition period.

6 Operating (loss)/profit

*Vipera GmbH

In accordance with IFRSs, costs associated with the reverse acquisition of Vipera Plc (formerly Ricmore Capital Plc) by Vipera GmbH have been expensed in the statement of comprehensive income of the Company. These had been incurred or accrued for by the date of completion of the acquisition, and have been accounted for as pre-acquisition expenses. In addition to the non-audit fees disclosed above, Littlejohn LLP charged £60,625 (2009 - £Nil) in connection with the corporate finance transaction.

The loss for the financial year dealt with in the financial statements of the parent Company, Vipera Plc, was £346,414 (2009 - loss of £31,636). As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, no separate statement of comprehensive income is presented in respect of the parent Company.

7 Expenses by nature

8 Profit on disposal of subsidiary undertaking

During the year, the Company received further deferred consideration pursuant to the disposal, in January 2009, of Energy Assets Limited amounting to £158,139.

9 Finance income

10 Finance costs

11 Tax

Analysis of tax (credit)/charge on ordinary activities:

*Vipera GmbH

Factors affecting the tax (credit)/charge for the year

The tax (credit)/charge for the year is higher (2009 - lower) than the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 28% (2009: 28%). The difference is explained below:

*Vipera GmbH

Factors affecting the tax charge of future periods

Tax losses available to be carried forward by the Group at 31 December 2010 against future profits are estimated to comprise trading losses of approximately £2,296,501 and capital losses of approximately £2,015,813.

A deferred tax asset amounting to approximately £937,898 (31 December 2009: £159,105) has not been recognised in respect of accumulated losses in the UK, as there is insufficient evidence that the asset will be recovered in the foreseeable future. There were no other factors that may affect future tax charges.

12 Loss per share

Basic loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss on ordinary activities after taxation by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. None of the share based payments were potentially dilutive at the year end and so there is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share.

Since the year end, 276,471 warrants have been exercised, which may result in the dilution of the earnings per share in the future. Details of share options and warrants that were anti-dilutive but may be dilutive in the future are set out in note 22.

*Vipera GmbH † re-stated for the effect of the reverse acquisition

13 Goodwill and business combination

**Vipera Plc

The goodwill is considered to be attributable to the benefits to be derived from the parent company as a listed entity. Goodwill is included within the UK reporting segment.Details of the consideration paid, net assets acquired and goodwill are as follows:

In the absence of a reliable valuation of Vipera GmbH, the cost of the combination was calculated using the fair value of all the issued equity instruments of Vipera Plc at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the Ordinary Shares of Vipera Plc was based on the published share price on 16 August 2010. The carrying value of the net assets acquired was the same as the fair value.

Vipera Plc did not contribute any revenue to the Group since the acquisition on 16 August 2010. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes £158,139 of profit from the sale of a former subsidiary and an operating profit of £6,827 in the period since acquisition, which is attributable to Vipera Plc. Had Vipera Plc been consolidated from 1 January 2010, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income would show unchanged revenues of £253,109 and a loss of £704,785 (an additional £496,370 loss).

14 Intangible assets

*Vipera GmbH

The above intangible assets comprise investment in the development of group product platforms. All research and development costs not eligible for capitalisation have been expensed.

The recoverable amount of the above cash generating unit has been determined based on value in use calculations. No goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash generating unit as this related to the parent company as explained in note 13. The value in use calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a two year period. These incorporate contracted revenues, revenues which are based on project tenders and projected revenue. Given the nature of the work and the visibility of revenue in the future, it is considered appropriate not to extend the discounted cash flow workings beyond this period. Probabilities have been assigned to revenues based on the anticipated success - a rate of 90-95% has been applied to contracted work, versus 70% applied to projected work. A discount rate of 15% has been used in the calculations. The recoverable amount based on value in use exceeded the carrying value by £2,252,182. A reduction in the projected revenues by 70% would remove the remaining headroom and give rise to the recognition of an impairment charge against profit or loss.

15 Deferred taxation

*Vipera GmbH

Deferred tax assets are recognised on tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognise deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses of approximately £3,596,142, which are available to carry forward against future taxable income.

16 Property, plant and equipment

* Vipera GmbH

17 Investment in subsidiary undertakings

**Vipera Plc

The following are the principal subsidiaries of the Company at 31 December 2010 and at the date of these financial statements.

Vipera GmbH was acquired on 16 August 2010 for a consideration of £7,897,013. This was settled by the issue of shares at 7.55p each, being the fair value of the shares at the acquisition date, together with 4,044,217 warrants. The fair value of the warrants has been calculated as £71,308, using the Black Scholes pricing model.

On 4 October 2010 the Company created a subsidiary in Italy, Vipera Srl, with share capital of €10,000 (£8,688).

21 Called up share capital

**Vipera Plc

On 13 August 2010 the Company consolidated each Ordinary Share of 1p each in the capital of the Company into Ordinary Shares of 25p each. Immediately thereafter each resulting Ordinary Share of 25p was sub-divided and reclassified as 1 Ordinary Share of 1p each and 1 Deferred Share of 24p each in the capital of the Company.

Subsequent to that date, the Company issued the following shares:

- 103,651,724 new Ordinary Shares at an issue price of 7.55 pence per share as part of the consideration payable upon the acquisition of Vipera GmbH on 16 August 2010;

- 647,058 new Ordinary Shares at an issue price of 8.5 pence per share subscribed for at re-admission following the acquisition of Vipera GmbH;

- 352,942 new Ordinary Shares by way of commission in relation to the November 2010 placing.

The Ordinary Shares entitle the holders to receive all ordinary dividends and all assets on a winding up, subject only to satisfying the entitlement, if any, of the holders of the Deferred Shares.

A Deferred Share does not entitle the holder thereof to receive notice of or attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company or to receive a dividend or other distribution or to participate in any return of capital on a winding up other than the nominal amount paid on such shares once the holders of new Ordinary Shares have received a distribution of £10,000,000 per new Ordinary Share.
