CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
On 21 August your Board recommended shareholders to accept an
offer from EVO Business Supplies Limited (EVO) of 51p per share. We
did so in the full knowledge that only a week later we would be
announcing results for the first half of 2014 that are on track for
the year as a whole and in line with the market's and our own
expectations, and with net debt reduced further since the year
end.
In recommending the offer, the Board took into account a number
of factors including the structural change and need for
consolidation in the Group's principal, but declining, business
supplies sector; current trading and prospects of the Group; the
Group's financial position and the feasibility of other strategic
options.
Our current on-track performance does not mask the fact that the
trading environment for Managed Procurement is challenging.
Customer buying habits have changed, with a focus on making smaller
purchasing orders on a more frequent basis, buying lower cost
products and reducing their direct costs generally. Your Board
believes this is a permanent shift in buying behaviour, which has
increased the Group's cost-to-serve and negatively impacted the
Group's financial performance. We have therefore implemented a
strategy to improve the performance of Managed Procurement by
cutting costs, reducing debt and remodelling the business through
changes to its logistics platform.
The Board believes there is also a need for industry
consolidation, requiring a material commitment of resources, to
reduce costs and duplication in the business supplies sector.
Hence, in combination with its operational initiatives, the Board
decided to explore a number of consolidation opportunities. We have
concluded that combining office2office with another business in the
office supplies industry is the best way of creating value for our
shareholders, and that this can best be achieved by EVO acquiring
office2office.
The Group has also in recent years focused on expanding its
Business Critical Services activity, a process which the Board
believes has been successful to date. However, the Group does not
have sufficient funds to invest further in this activity in order
to fulfil its growth potential while at the same time restructuring
the Group's role in the declining business supplies sector.
The Group is currently in discussions to refinance its GBP12.5
million term loan, GBP3 million revolving credit facilities and
GBP30 million asset-backed lending facility, which are all
committed to June 2015. Whilst these discussions are constructive,
the terms of such a refinancing and when it would be completed
depend in part on the Group's finalising its strategic plans to
address change in the business supplies sector.
At this stage, EVO's offer remains subject to Competition
Markets Authority clearance as well as shareholder approval.
Management and the Board remain committed to driving the business
forward, pending approval of EVO's offer.
With our six month average share price pre-announcement of
25.88p the offer price of 51p represents a premium of 97.1%.
Results
In the six months to 30 June 2014, Group revenue was GBP114.6m
(2013: GBP119.2m), underlying profit before tax was GBP1.6m (2013:
GBP2.0m), non-recurring costs were GBP0.8m (2013: GBP0.3m) and
profit before tax was GBP0.1m (2013: GBP1.2m). Underlying earnings
per share were 3.3p (2013: 3.9p) and basic earnings per share were
0.0p (2013: 2.3p).
The Group has continued to reduce its net borrowings, which at
30 June 2014 stood at GBP20.4m (2013:GBP23.3m). In the first half
of this year cash generation continued the progress made last year
at GBP1.6m (2013 GBP6.5m).
Segmental review
Managed Procurement
Managed Procurement revenue decreased 5.2% to GBP71.8m (2013:
GBP75.7m), and adjusted EBITA (being underlying profit before
income tax and before charging Group administration and finance
costs as detailed in note 6) declined to GBP3.6m (2013:
GBP4.8m).
Business Critical Services
Revenue in Business Critical Services decreased 1.4% to GBP42.8m
(2013: GBP43.4m) and segmental adjusted EBITA (as discussed above
and in note 6) was stable at GBP3.7m (2013: GBP3.8m).
Dividend policy
The Board is not recommending an interim dividend (2013:
nil).
Employees
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many
employees who have helped contribute to the Group's success. The
Board recognises that a change of owner and industry consolidation
will introduce fresh challenges. Consolidation is, however,
inevitable, and a combined group will be better able to stand up to
the market than we could alone.
As mentioned in our 2013 Annual Report & Accounts, the half
yearly financial report will be published on the o2o website and
hard copies will be provided only on request.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
for the six months ended 30 June 2014
1. General information
office2office plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group)
provide managed procurement and business critical services. The
Group operates in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. The
Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in
the United Kingdom and its shares are listed on the London Stock
Exchange. The address of its registered office is St Crispins, Duke
Street, Norwich, NR3 1PD.
The half yearly financial report does not comprise statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act
2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013 were
approved by the Board of Directors on 2 April 2014 and delivered to
the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those
financial statements was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis
of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under section
498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The half yearly financial report has been reviewed, not audited
and was approved for issue by the Directors on 28 August 2014.
2. Basis of preparation
This half yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted
by the European Union. The half yearly financial report should be
read in conjunction with the annual report and financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2013, which have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
as adopted by the European Union.
The Directors, in their detailed consideration of going concern,
have reviewed the Group's future cash forecasts, covenant forecasts
and revenue projections, which they believe are based on prudent
market data and past experience, and believe based on these
forecasts and projections, underpinned by the continuing support of
RBS, that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements of
the Group on a going concern basis.
The announcement dated 21 August, which outlined an agreed offer
for the entire issued share capital of the Group, does not, in the
opinion of the Directors influence the Group's ability to continue
as a going concern. The Board has been exploring strategic options
for the Group and in this context it was not felt appropriate, at
this time, to put in place long term funding that would prove
costly and potentially ultimately unnecessary in light of that
announcement. As a consequence the Group has not currently agreed
refinancing arrangements with the Group's bankers for the period
beyond June 2015, when, in the absence of such agreement, the
current facilities would be due to expire.
Since the April 2008 refinancing, RBS, as sole providers to the
Group, have demonstrated their continuing support of the business
and, indeed, they have confirmed in writing that it is their
intention to continue their constructive dialogue with the Board in
the event that the sale in contemplation were not to complete.
Consequently, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that
the Group will continue to comply with the covenants in their
facilities and they have adequate resources to meet their
liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months
from the date of approval of the financial statements. For this
reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing
the financial statements.
3. Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the
annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2013, as described in the Annual Report and Accounts.
4. Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the
Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group classifies its financial assets and liabilities in the
following categories: loans and receivables, and other financial
liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which
the financial assets or liabilities were acquired. Management
determines the classification of its financial assets and
liabilities at initial recognition. The classification of financial
liabilities is determined in accordance with IFRS 7, 'Financial
instruments: Disclosures', taking account of the repayment profile
of the liability. For those with fixed or determinable payment
profiles the amounts are recognised as either current liabilities
or, where amounts are not due for more than 12 months after the
reporting period, as non-current liabilities.
Trade receivables: Trade receivables are recognised initially at
fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A
provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when
there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to
collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the
receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor,
probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial
reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60
days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable
is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between
the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced
through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss
is recognised in the income statement within revenue. When a trade
receivable is uncollectable, it is written off against the
allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of
amounts previously written off are credited against revenue in the
income statement.
Borrowings: Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value
net of transaction costs. Borrowings are subsequently stated at
amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the
income statement over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the
Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Trade payables:Trade payables are not interest bearing and are
recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments:Equity instruments issued by the Company are
recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Where
any Group company purchases the Company's equity share capital
(treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly
attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted
from equity attributable to the Company's owners until the shares
are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently
reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly
attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income
tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company's
owners.
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is
objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial
assets is impaired.
The above financial assets and liabilities are grouped as
follows:
-- Cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables
(excluding prepayments) are classified as loans and receivables for
the purpose of IFRS 7, 'Financial instruments: Disclosures'.
-- Borrowings, finance leases and trade and other payables
(excluding statutory liabilities) are classified as other financial
liabilities at amortised cost for the purpose of IFRS 7, 'Financial
instruments: Disclosures'.
5. Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group arise
from: the impact of the economic downturn on customers, leading to
reduced demand, and on suppliers, leading to sourcing issues; the
impact of operating in a highly competitive market leading to the
loss of a large customer or a reduction in gross margins; an
interruption of the Group's operations or IT services; exposure to
product cost increases and a variety of financial risks. A full
review of these is included in the 2013 Annual Report. These remain
unchanged but continue to be regularly monitored to ensure that any
mitigating actions are prompt and appropriate.
6. Segmental information
IFRS 8, 'Operating Segments', requires a 'management approach',
under which segment information is presented on the same basis as
that used for internal reporting purposes. The operating segments
are identified on the basis of internal reports regularly reviewed
by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors being the chief
operating decision-maker, in order to allocate resources to the
segments and to assess their respective performance.
The Board considers the business from a service perspective. The
Group is organised into two main business segments:
-- Managed Procurement; and
-- Business Critical Services.
The business units of each reportable segment, Banner Business
Services and Truline in respect of Managed Procurement and Banner
Managed Communication and Banner Document Services in respect of
Business Critical Services, do not qualify as reportable segments
as decisions about the allocation of resources and the assessment
of performance are not made at this level.
The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments
based on a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, income tax
and amortisation (adjusted EBITA). This measurement basis excludes
the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating
segments, such as restructuring costs. Other information provided
to the Board, except as noted below, is measured in a manner
consistent with that in the financial statements.

Compensation payments relate to amounts paid to ex-employees of

the Group in relation to management's commitment to improve
operational efficiency.
9. Income taxes
Income tax expense is recognised based on management's best
estimate of the average annual income tax rate expected for the
full financial year, as adjusted to reflect estimated disallowable
expenses. The estimated average annual tax rate used for the six
month period to 30 June 2014 of 91.9% (30 June 2013: 28.0%) is
based on the prevailing current tax rate of 21.5% (six months ended

(b) Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the
weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding to assume
conversion of all dilutive potential Ordinary shares. The Company
has one category of dilutive potential Ordinary shares, being share
options. For share options, a calculation is undertaken to
determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at
fair value (determined as the average market share price of the
Company's shares during the period) based on the monetary value of
the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The
number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of
shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the
share options.
