Chairman's statement
Financial and operational review
It is pleasing to report a profit before tax for the first six months of the
year of GBP183k (2008 - a loss of GBP331k).
The disposal of ITM Graphics Ltd in November 2009 which yielded an overall
surplus of GBP250k has benefitted our Balance Sheet and enables us to
concentrate on our core IT activities. cScape has continued to develop its
expertise in Microsoft SharePoint ("SharePoint") and has added blue chip clients
to its client roster, the benefits of which are expected to feed through in the
second half of the financial year. The business environment remains challenging
and the containment of costs remains a priority.
Outlook
We expect cScape's business to improve in the second half as the economy comes
out of recession and the demand for SharePoint, particularly in the private
sector, increases. It is anticipated that Blue Sky will continue to add to its
client base while retaining its recurring income.

market position. Based on this assessment the board is of the opinion that
goodwill has an indefinite life. The board carries out regular impairment
reviews on goodwill and recognizes any impairment immediately.

No liability to UK Corporation tax arose on ordinary activities for the period
owing to trade losses brought forward from previous periods.

ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares during
the year. The diluted profit/(loss) per share is the same as the actual
profit/(loss) per share.
