Innovise plc
("Innovise" or "the company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 31 March 2011
Chairman's and Chief Executive's statement
Highlights
* Turnover rose to GBP10.1 million from GBP7.9 million in H1 2010
* Adjusted* operating profit rose to GBP626,000 from GBP574,000 in H1 2010
* Software division of Expolink Europe Ltd and intellectual property assets
of Pivetal Ltd acquired.
* Adjusted excludes amortisation of intangibles and attributable tax.
Innovise is pleased to report a solid financial and operating performance
during the six months ended 31 March 2011. Against a stable general business
environment, we achieved an encouraging rate of sales growth and a modest
improvement to profits.
Turnover increased by more than 25% compared with the first half of 2010, which
included the impact of acquisitions. Adjusted operating profit before net
finance costs, tax and amortisation of intangibles also increased, from GBP
574,000 in the previous first half to GBP626,000.
During the period, we maintained our focus on efficient management of working
capital. As a result, we were able to convert over 100% of operating profit
into cash. Our cash reserves at 31 March 2011 increased to GBP1.2 million, from GBP
0.3 million at 31 March 2010. However, it is expected that some of this
improvement will unwind in the second half. Recurring sales also grew, from GBP
1.9 million in the previous first half to GBP2.3 million.
The company purchased 250,000 of its own ordinary shares of 1p each at 20p per
share during the period. The purchased shares are held as treasury shares.
We continue to seek strategic opportunities to enhance the range and quality of
our IT capabilities and solutions. Early in this interim period, we acquired
the software division of Expolink Europe Ltd and the intellectual property
assets of Pivetal Limited. Both businesses have been successfully integrated
into the group, and have traded in line with expectations during the first
half.
The Board of Innovise remains committed to growing its business and generating
shareholder value. After a detailed cost-benefit analysis, the Board is
proposing that the company's admission to AIM be cancelled. Shareholders will
be asked to vote on the proposal at a General Meeting to be convened later this
month, and an explanatory circular will be sent to them shortly.
The principal reasons for seeking admission to trading on AIM were to support
the company's growth strategy by providing access to capital and enabling it to
use shares as consideration for acquisitions. In arriving at the conclusion
that cancellation would be in the best interests of the company and
shareholders at this time, the directors took account of many factors and in
particular the following:
* The Board believes that the costs associated with maintaining the AIM
listing can be better deployed as additional working capital in the
business. We estimate that, in the last financial year, the direct and
indirect costs of the company's AIM listing amounted to in excess of GBP0.1
million. This estimate includes listing expenses, legal and adviser fees,
but excludes the considerable amount of senior executive time which is also
spent dealing with issues related to the listing.
* The AIM listing of shares in the company does not, in itself, currently
offer investors increased liquidity, marketability or scope to trade in
significant volumes or with frequency. With little trading volume
currently, the share price can fluctuate sharply following trades of small
numbers of shares. We do not believe that the liquidity situation would be
materially affected by cancellation.
* The relative lack of liquidity means that opportunities to use shares of
the company as consideration for acquisitions are very limited. The last
time Innovise used its shares to fund an acquisition was in 2009. All
subsequent acquisitions have been made from cash generated internally; in
each of these cases, the directors concluded that debt finance was
preferable to equity finance.
For these reasons, the Board is recommending that Innovise remains a public
company at this time but cancels its AIM listing.
We believe our positive results for this interim period demonstrate that
Innovise has the strategy, leadership and talented workforce to keep on
delivering value for its shareholders and capitalising on the opportunities
that exist within its niche markets.

Notes to the unaudited interim report

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Innovise plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the
Companies Act 2006. Its registered office address is Hellier House, Wychbury
Court, Two Woods Lane, Brierley Hill, DY5 1TA.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the company for the
six months ended 31 March 2011 comprise the company and its subsidiaries
(together referred to as "the group"). These interim statements do not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act
2006. The interim financial information has otherwise been prepared using the
same accounting policies, presentation, method of computation and estimation
techniques as are expected to be adopted in the group financial statements for
the year ending 30 September 2011 and which were adopted in the audited group
financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010 .
The financial information for the year ended 30 September 2010 has been
extracted from the statutory accounts for that period. The auditors have
reported on the statutory accounts for the year ended 30 September 2010 and
their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498
(2) (accounting records or returns inadequate or accounts or directors'
remuneration report not agreeing with records and returns), or Section 498 (3)
(failure to obtain necessary information and explanations). A copy of those
financial statements has been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared
using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting
standards (IFRSs) as adopted in the EU. While the financial figures included in
this half yearly report have been computed in accordance with IFRSs as adopted
in the EU applicable to interim periods, this half yearly report does not
contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as
that term is defined in IAS 34.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in pounds
sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the group operates, and were authorised for issue on 7 June 2011.
Further copies of the unaudited interim report can be obtained from the
registered office during normal business hours. The report is also available on
the company's website, www.innovise.com.
