"We took some tough decisions early in the financial year, and
saw the benefits in the second half in the form of our first
EBITDA(1) profitable half-year and a material reduction in cash

FINKit(R) remains the main driver of long-term growth at
Monitise and whilst contracts are taking longer to conclude than
anticipated, I am encouraged by the response of our potential
