Introduction
SCISYS is reporting strong results for the first half of 2016.
Although revenues are at a record level, profitability during the
first half has been hit by hedging losses as a result of wide
currency fluctuations. However we expect significant benefit to be
derived from the weaker pound for the remainder of the year if the
euro-sterling exchange rate remains at current levels.
Our order book remains robust and at the end of June was GBP35m
(2015: GBP28m), which is marginally behind our record opening order
book for 2016 and 25% higher than June 2015.
This trading performance is reflected by a further strengthening
of the Group's cash position.
Key financials
The Group's revenue totalled GBP22.2m (2015: GBP16.5m), a record
historic first-half level, including GBP8.6m from ESD, GBP9.6m from
Space, GBP3.5m from M&B and GBP0.4m from Xibis. In the six
months ended 30 June 2016, the Group's operating profit was GBP1.1m
(2015: loss of GBP1.1m). Basic earnings per share for the period
recovered to 2.8 pence (2015: loss per share of 4.9 pence). A
fuller explanation is available in the Finance review section.
Operating Review
Introduction
All divisions have performed well during the first half of 2016.
Contracts were delivered on time and within budget and helped to
improve our cash position. Major new contracts were won and added
to our strong order book. There are strong prospects for future
contract wins in all divisions during the second half, some of
which have materialised already.
We do not expect any adverse operational consequences as a
result of June's EU referendum outcome impacting any divisional
opportunities in the short to medium term.
Enterprise Solutions & Defence (ESD) division
ESD has had an excellent first half year and has impressively
substantiated the earlier signs of recovery. Based on the very
strong order book at the beginning of the year and significant
recurring revenues from well-established customers the Division has
delivered revenues of GBP8.6m, 79% up on the first half of
2015.
Current projects are all in a healthy state, on plan in terms of
cost and time to deliver, and have helped to achieve a very good
contribution margin of 29%.
The 105 national power-cut phone line service provided by
Vodafone for the Energy Networks Association (ENA) went live in
April. SCISYS delivered the call routing component of the service,
similar to the 101 and 111 systems previously supplied by SCISYS.
Callers dialling the 105 number are put through to their local
electricity network operator to report or receive information about
power cuts and to report damage to electricity power lines and
substations.
In September another significant contract was secured with the
UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to deliver further research and
software development services to the Defence Science and Technology
Laboratory (Dstl). The project extends SCISYS' reach into the area
of tactical combat systems in surface warships as it will create
and demonstrate a new decision support system for use by the Royal
Navy.
Based on the strong order book and the successful delivery the
Division is well positioned to end the year on a similarly strong
footing.

Space division
During the first half of the year our Space division has secured
over GBP3.2m of new contracts, mainly from existing programmes;
these include the European satellite-navigation system, Galileo,
and the European Space Agency's (ESA) rover mission to Mars,
ExoMars.
With the launch of the first of two ExoMars missions, Europe is
now on the way to Mars. This historic step was also supported by
SCISYS Flight Dynamics experts working in the Flight Control Team
of ExoMars at ESOC in Darmstadt.
Consequently, the Space division has been able to increase its
revenues during the first half year to GBP9.6m, 22% ahead of the
comparative period in 2015. Divisional contribution benefitted even
more and moved the divisional contribution margin to 20%.
There are considerable bid opportunities with ESA, Eumetsat and
also from German national and bilateral programmes that, if won,
will secure revenues for the Space division for several years.
Significant progress has been made with SCISYS's proprietary
PLENITER product which provides reusable functional modules to
operate complete satellite missions. In a post period event OneWeb,
a new internet telecommunications enterprise which is preparing to
build, deploy and operate the World's biggest satellite
constellation to provide global internet access for all, has chosen
PLENITER to plan its mission of several hundred satellites.
As an ongoing commitment to innovation in space, SCISYS and
PLENITER have become partners of the PTScientists and their
"Mission to the Moon" in the frame of the Google Lunar-X-Price
competition.

Media & Broadcast (M&B) division
M&B secured its first win in South Africa in April. A EUR2m
contract for South Africa Broadcasting Corporation demonstrates
dira!'s international reputation hard won over many years with
state broadcasters in Europe. This was the second major win during
the period, adding to a GBP2m contract with a major UK radio
broadcaster won in February.
Although won well into the first 6 months of 2016, both
contracts, together with the robust repeat business and smaller
wins from the existing client base, have helped to deliver a
healthy performance for the first half year. With its strengthened
order book position the outlook for MBS during the second half year
is encouraging.

Finance review
Results for the half year to June 2016 demonstrate that SCISYS
has bounced back from last year's setbacks and built on the
recovery witnessed in the second half of 2015.
Total revenues were up 35% to GBP22.2m (2015: GBP16.5m) and the
professional fees' component increased by 40% to GBP18.4m (2015:
GBP13.1m). Despite absorbing a foreign exchange expense of GBP0.5m
that relates to future periods the Group generated an operating
profit of GBP1.1m (2015: GBP1.1m loss). Basic earnings per share
for the period were 2.8p (2015: 4.9p loss per share).
The average euro-sterling exchange rate for the period was
EUR1.28/GBP, which represents an 8% uplift from the comparative
2015 value of EUR1.38/GBP. This movement boosted revenues to a
record historic first-half level.
Approximately half of the Group's business is conducted in
euros. SCISYS mitigates its exposure to exchange rate movements by
entering into hedging contracts to convert forecast surplus euros
into sterling at fixed forward rates. Such contracts are revalued
quarterly on a mark-to-market basis. Following June's referendum
vote for the UK to leave the EU the value of the pound fell sharply
against the euro. This gave rise to an adverse revaluation at 30
June of the Company's remaining 2016 and 2017 hedging contracts and
resulted in a GBP0.5m charge in the income statement for the first
half of the year.
While currency hedging contracts restrict losses when spot rates
move adversely, potential gains from favourable fluctuations are
also limited and the Company realised a loss of GBP0.2m on trades
that matured in the period.
The uplift in trading performance was reflected in buoyant cash
flows. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had bank
deposits (comprising cash and cash equivalents less overdrafts) of
GBP5.6m (30 June 2015: GBP3.0m). Unutilised working capital
facilities totalled GBP4.6m (30 June 2015: GBP3.1m). Group debt
excluding bank overdrafts at the period end was GBP4.2m (30 June
2015: GBP4.9m). The resulting net cash was GBP1.4m, GBP2.4m higher
than the 2015 year-end position of GBP1.0m net debt (30 June 2015:
GBP1.9m net debt).
The effective tax rate for the period of 15% reflects the
anticipated rate for 2016 as a whole. Tax rates between the first
halves of 2015 and 2016 are not comparable due to last year's
losses. SCISYS continues to benefit from the tax-credit system for
UK expenditure on Research & Development. Credits are received
in the form of cash rebates from HM Revenue & Customs, and this
serves to offset the relatively high corporate tax rates
experienced by our German business.
The half-year accounts are presented on a basis consistent with
policies to be adopted for the Annual Report & Accounts for the
year ending 31 December 2016.
Dividend
Our final dividend for full year to 31 December 2015 was 1.78
pence per share and put us back on track in our stated strategy of
progressive dividend growth of around 10% per annum. I can now
confirm that an interim dividend of 0.53 pence per share will be
paid on 10 November 2016 to shareholders on the register as at 14
October 2016. The shares are expected to go ex-dividend on 13
October 2016.
Outlook
We are pleased with this bounce back to profitability and
healthy organic growth in revenues at the half-year mark. At this
point in time we fully anticipate that we can achieve the uplift in
full year market expectations as announced in our trading update in
August.
Given the strength of our short term pipeline we expect the top
line momentum achieved during the first six months to continue for
the rest of the year. Our closing order book position and recent
contract wins provide a solid foundation for the second half of the
year. All divisions are performing to or are exceeding budget. As
has been seen in previous years, we anticipate a stronger trading
performance in the latter half of the year, and continued organic
growth well in line with our medium-term objectives. We also expect
to see positive impacts on profitability from the weaker pound if
this continues for the second half.
We continue to look for opportunities to acquire companies where
there is a good market, product and cultural fit.
Based on current performance on projects and order pipeline, the
Directors remain fully confident in the future prospects of the
Group.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Report
For the six months to 30 June 2016
1 Basis of preparation of Interim Financial Information
& Statement of Compliance
SCISYS PLC (the "Company") is a UK company incorporated
in England & Wales. The entities consolidated
in the half year financial statements of the
Company for the six months to 30 June 2016 comprise
the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred
to as the "Group"). The Group reports its financial
results in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the
European Union ("EU").
This interim results announcement is prepared
in accordance with the IFRS accounting policies
expected to be applied by the Group at 31 December
2016. These policies are unchanged from those
set out by the Group in its consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2015
and available on the Group's website at www.scisys.co.uk.
As permitted, this interim report has been prepared
in accordance with the AIM rules and not in
accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'
and is therefore not fully compliant with IFRS.
There are no new standards or interpretations
endorsed by the EU during 2016 that impact on
the financial results or presentation.
The interim financial information for the six
months ended 30 June 2016 is unaudited and does
not include all of the information required
to constitute statutory accounts within the
meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act
2006. It should therefore be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2015. These published
accounts have been reported on by the Group's
auditors and have been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies. The report of the auditors was
(1) unqualified; (2) did not include a reference
to any matters to which the auditors drew attention
by way of emphasis without qualifying their
report and (3) did not contain a statement under
section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act
2006.
The preparation of these consolidated half year
financial statements requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
income and expense. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. In preparing these consolidated
half year financial statements, the significant
judgements made by management in applying the

Impairment of goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment every half
year based on management's estimation of the
value in use of the cash generating units (CGUs)
to which the goodwill has been allocated. The
value in use calculation is dependent upon management's
estimate of future cashflows expected to arise
from the CGU and a suitable discount rate.
Management has considered the estimates of cashflows
and applicable discount rates and has concluded
that no impairment is necessary at 30 June 2016.
