CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Operational
We continue to focus on a small number of key accounts in order
to drive revenues. Amongst these are PHB Choices and CII
marketplace, both of which are in the on boarding phase for
suppliers.
With PHB Choices we have had good uptake with CCG's to date, and
are now working with them to ensure that their suppliers are live
in order to bring on the personal budget holders. Whilst there is
no mandate for the CCG's to use PHB Choices, it has been welcomed
by the CCG's as it provides a scalable, transparent and auditable
solution to the challenges posed by the roll out of PHB's. We have
agreed to waive the fixed fees for the initial CCG's in order to
encourage rapid -----adoption.
The CII marketplace is live and suppliers are gradually coming
on board.
To date, there are over 400 suppliers registered with over 7,000
products able to be purchased. Once a critical mass of suppliers
and products is achieved, CII and cloudBuy will increase marketing
efforts to attract buyers to the marketplace.
We are pleased to have won new licenced based contracts with
HealthShare NSW in April 2016 and, post period end, University of
Exeter in July 2016.
The purchasing portal for the York Region District School Board
in Canada is nearing pilot. This has progressed in line with
management's expectations during the 6 month project to implement
finance integration and develop new functionality for the wider
Ontario schools market. This will be beneficial as we target other
schools' boards in North America. To date, 22 boards have expressed
an interest in our solution, out of a total addressable market of
72. Our experience with York Region will enable us to roll out
future projects in a quicker time frame. A small amount of revenue
was recognised in the first half with higher revenue expected to be
recognised in the second half of 2016.
More generally we have an active pipeline of eProcurement
prospects across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, India and the
Middle East. This is our traditional business and these are licence
revenue opportunities, as opposed to transactional revenue from the
new marketplaces.
In Egypt we have progressed rapidly from an introduction by Visa
in February to signing a 3 way memorandum of understanding between
cloudBuy, Visa and Efinance. The whole country initiative for all
cloudBuy technologies was launched by UK Trade Envoy, Sir Jeffrey
Donaldson MP and Yasser ElKady, Egyptian Minister of Communications
and Information Technology on 26(th) July. The initiative is
supported by the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce and
the Union of African Chambers of Commerce.
The cost control initiatives are continuing, as part of these,
we are restructuring the Coding International Limited subsidiary
which has resulted in the redundancy of 4 of the 7 employees.
Revenue from this business is down by nearly 50% in H1.
Funding
We are delighted to have agreed the financing package with
Roberto Sella and associates totalling GBP5.75m which was approved
in a shareholders meeting on 26 April 2016. To date, GBP3.274m has
been utilised.
Financial Results
Turnover decreased by 11% from H1 2015 to GBP0.785m, turnover
decreased by 9% from H2 2015.
Administrative expenses, excluding share based payments,
decreased to GBP2.643m (2015: GBP3.658m).
After a charge for share based payments of GBP0.348m (2015
GBP0.217m), the operating loss decreased to GBP2.347m (2015
GBP3.163m).
Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2016 were GBP1.947m (30
June 2015: GBP1.917m) reflecting the losses incurred, offset by the
Roberto Sella financing
Net assets as at 30 June 2016 were GBP(0.497m) compared to
GBP2.025m at 30 June 2015.
Outlook
The Company's realignment of its cost base will continue
throughout the remainder of the year.
Revenue from projects already won should result in an increase
in revenue in the second half of the year compared to the first and
deliver a full year performance in line with last year, as well as
providing contribution in the coming years.
Going forward, we believe that the current contracted mix of
licenced business together with larger transaction based revenue
projects will enable us to grow revenues in the medium term, whilst
also developing further opportunities.
Contribution from new wins in the year should result in some
increase in revenue in H2 over H1.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies set out in the Annual
Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015 and the
interpretation of those accounting standards underlying the
accounting policies. IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, has not
been applied. The interim financial statements have been issued in
accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange and are

Registrar of Companies was unqualified, did not draw attention to
any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement
under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Although the estimates are based on management's best
knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results may
differ from those estimates.
