Pale Spanos, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Whilst the
financial performance for the 12 months to 31 December 2015 was
below our expectations, as had been highlighted in previous

further strengthened its balance sheet.
During the period we focussed on serving our existing clients
and ensuring that these projects were well executed.
Whilst our existing client base has remained unchanged during
the first quarter of 2016, and we expect revenues from these
existing projects to decline during the course of the year, the
business remains well placed and well-funded to capitalise on the
new business opportunities that may arise this year."

About CDialogues
CDialogues provides mobile marketing solutions enabling MNOs to
retain and acquire market share, increase average revenue per user
(ARPU) and reducing subscriber churn.
The Company's products and services deliver fully managed
solutions, utilizing advanced Data analytics techniques combined
with Linguistic engineering marketing, to build awareness and
multiply sales and opt-ins of promotional offerings and other
mobile content being offered by the MNOs.
The solutions designed by the Company, are tailored and served
with the appropriate Linguistic format, to each individual mobile
network subscriber typology and geography it operates in, using its
proprietary software and scalable infrastructure.
The majority of CDialogues' revenues are derived from a
recurring subscription-based revenue model, which has been
pioneered by the Company. As a result, the Company benefits from
incremental cash flow growth from each new campaign customer and
mobile network subscriber.
The Company's near-term focus is on growing both its customer
base and expanding its geographic footprint in selected markets in
the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, where mobile device
penetration and mobile network usage is growing rapidly.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The 12-month period to 31 December 2015 was clearly a
challenging one.
The period was therefore one of consolidation for the Company as
we focused on delivery of existing contracts across geographies
where MNO subscriber churn has traditionally been high, due to the
fact that mobile phone subscribers typically use pre-pay mobile
phone tariffs.
A decision was also made to focus on further product development
during the period, and whilst certain project launches were
delayed, the company remains confident that its product offerings
remain competitive in the marketplace.
Given the disappointing revenue performance, we are able to
report that the Company has continued to generate cash during the
year and maintain a strong balance sheet as of 31 December
2015.
Reassuringly, our solutions achieved direct results for our
existing clients by demonstrably reducing subscriber churn, which
helps to underpin the basis of our client relationships. We believe
that our continued product investment will result in an improved
value proposition, which should also result in further customer
loyalty and a reference point for us to generate new business and
relationships.
Our first full year on the Alternative Investment Market has
been challenging, and we must continue to improve the foundations
of the business model. The key to the future is the development of
stable new revenue opportunities. The number of MNOs and countries
in which we could operate means that there are still plenty of
opportunities ahead.
The Board remains focused on improving the business model,
whilst preserving the balance sheet and seeking to deliver
increased shareholder value, following a disappointing share price
performance over the period.
Mark Horrocks
Non-Executive Chairman
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REVIEW
When we joined the AIM Market in 2014, the focus was on
diversifying revenue through multiple client engagements across the
Middle East and beyond. As such we invested in both products and
personnel to ensure that we are well placed to take advantage of
the growing range of global opportunities.
However, as announced during the period, the Company suffered a
number of project delays as MNOs pushed back project start dates
due to the poor economic environment during 2015. This impacted our
second half revenue performance significantly and resulted in lower
revenues and EBITDA for the year.
Notwithstanding the poor income performance, cash generation
remained strong during the year with free cash flow for the year
further enhancing the Company's net cash position to EUR3.6 million
at 31 December 2015 (2014: EUR2.4 million).
During 2015, CDialogues delivered a total of eight mobile
marketing projects in six countries to a total subscriber base of
above 20 million customers (2014: 35 million) across the Middle
East and Southeast Asia. These projects attracted more than 1.4
million unique subscribers.
Our continued investment on the evolution of our solutions and
strategic direction towards a loyalty centric offering has already
resulted in an increased interest on our value proposition from
potential customers. Further to the Company's prior announcement,
it is unfortunate to report that our initial customer in Central
America for this proposition faced different challenges on
integration that could not be resolved.
I would like to thank our staff and shareholders for their
continued support during 2015 as we consolidated our position as
one of the leading providers in the space.
Outlook
Despite the challenging environment and poor financial
performance, we continued to invest in the business whilst
maintaining our strong balance sheet and therefore remain well
positioned to capitalise on any new opportunities in the regions
where we have presence or active business development
activities.
Given that net contributions from some mature projects are
expected to decrease during 2016, the Company is now focused on
building the new business pipeline while maintaining cash
generation to preserve our balance sheet during this challenging
period for the Company.
Pale Spanos
Chief Executive Officer
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER REVIEW
Revenues for the period fell 12.2% to EUR8.71m (2014: EUR9.92m)
due to weaker performance in the second half of year from the
existing projects and the lack of new project launches.
Gross profit was down by 35.6% to EUR2.27m (2014: EUR3.52m)
representing a gross margin of 26.0% (2014: 35.5%). The reduction
in gross margin came as a result of reduced revenues and increased
costs of our existing projects in the second half of 2015 as well
as investment in new project launches. Administration and selling
& distribution costs were EUR1.27m (2014: EUR0.90) representing
14.6% of revenues (2014:9.0%).
Operating Profit (after depreciation and amortisation) was down
by 62.0% to EUR1.00m (2014: EUR2.63m) representing a margin of
11.5% (2014:26.5%).
Adjusted EBITDA fell by 47.2% to EUR1.55m (2014: EUR2.94m)
representing a margin of 17.8% (2014:29.6%).
Profit before tax fell by 62.6% to EUR0.98m (2014: EUR2.61m)
with a margin of 11.2% (2014: 26.3%) while basic earnings per share
fell by 64.7% to EUR0.15 (2014: EUR0.43).
Operating cash flow remained strong with net cash flows
increasing by 47.8% to EUR2.54m (2014: EUR1.72m) as a result of
efficient working capital management. After taking into account
working capital movements and cash flows used in investing
activities, which comprise primarily capitalised investment in
software development, Free Cash Flow (after development costs and
capital expenditure) was EUR1.49m (2014: EUR1.22m).
At the year-end we had accrued income of EUR1.14m and related
accrued expenses of EUR0.63m which represents income earned during
the last months of 2015 (and its associated costs), which has
already been invoiced and collected/settled since the year end.
Net cash as of 31 December 2015 was EUR3.61m (2014: EUR2.42m)
and provides a firm foundation for further growth into new
territories.
As at 31 March 2016, net cash was above EUR3.5m as a result of
the Group's continuing focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet.
This should allow the Group to capitalise on any new business
opportunities that may arise this year.

STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
The Directors present the Strategic Report of CDialogues Plc for
the year ended 31 December 2015.
-- Review of the Business in the year
The Group provides mobile analytics solutions, being offered in
the format of marketing loyalty activities that enable brands,
mobile network operators and media companies to implement targeted,
interactive and measurable loyalty programs by engaging with and
entertaining mobile network subscribers via their mobile
devices.
The Group has developed internally a technology platform
(C/Profiler Software Platform), which is used for the provision of
mobile marketing solutions. The Group's technology platform is
offered as either a fully managed or as a Software-as-a-Service
(SAAS) product.
The core services supported by the Group's platform include the
use of any channel that is based on linguistic and text
communication such as SMS, MMS, IVR and mobile internet services.
Furthermore, the Group's platform supports recurring user
subscription and mobile billing services in cooperation with the
mobile network operators on either a pre-paid or post-paid
basis.
The Group's technical infrastructure is connected directly with
Mobile Network Operators in the territories in which it operates
and, in most cases, transacts with its business partners through
revenue sharing arrangements under which the net revenues generated
from the relevant mobile marketing initiatives are divided. In
several cases, those mobile marketing initiatives are devised in
cooperation with the operators themselves. In other instances,
campaigns are instigated by the Group and may be rolled out
concurrently across several mobile operator networks and in a
number of different countries.
More specifically, through the use of its mobile analytics and
linguistic engineering platform, the Group tries to attract as many
mobile subscribers to participate in any given service and then
seeks to engage and maintain them within the service with relevant
content offering and reward programs. To attract potential mobile
subscribers, the Group employs promotional seeding techniques which
include the use of traditional media and the use of text via mobile
or online. Once mobile subscribers are initially attracted, the
Group tries to make them engage by providing exciting mobile
utilities or providing incentives. The pool of mobile subscribers
that eventually engage is analysed and profiled into categories in
order for the Group to design the appropriate loyalty building
programs and reward schemes.
The ongoing management of mobile marketing solutions provides
the Group with a growing database of behavioral and customer
engagement analytics. The knowledge and experience on monetization
of those data, provides important feedback for the Group's future
performance and is also reflected in continuous expansion to the
Group's technology platform and evolution of product solutions
supported, progressively towards a more loyalty and analytics
centric offerings.
The Group is currently focusing its operations on emerging
markets. Countries in which it has operated since establishment are
Iraq, Vietnam, Ivory Coast, Russia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, North
Cyprus, Guatemala and Oman. It is a Group target to grow market
share in existing geographies and also expand its business in other
territories.
A summary of the key financial results for the relevant year end
are set out in the table below:
2015 (EUR) 2014 (EUR) % Change

--------------------------- ----------- ----------- ---------
Profit after tax 955,317 2,552,911 -62.6%
--------------------------- ----------- ----------- ---------
Group revenue fell by 12.2% from EUR9.92m in 2014 to EUR8.71m in
2015. This was due to weaker performance in the second half of year
of the existing projects and the lack of new project launches.
Group Adjusted EBITDA for the year fell to EUR1.55m (2014:
EUR2.94), representing a fall of 47.2%. Free cash flow, after
development costs and capital expenditure grew to EUR1.49m further
enhancing the Group's cash position to EUR3.61m as of 31 December
2015.
-- Position of the Company's business at the end of the year
During the period the Group continued to diversify its revenue
base both by number of clients and geographical sources of revenue
while further strengthening its balance sheet. The Group's
statement of Financial Position at 31 December 2015 set out in the
table below:
Assets (EUR) Liabilities Net assets

------------------------------ ------------- ------------ -----------
Total as at 31 December 2015 7,338,994 (1,794,881) 5,544,113
------------------------------ ------------- ------------ -----------
Subscription-based recurring revenues, which provide greater
scalability and visibility for the business, accounted for 82 per
cent of the total revenues during 2015 as a whole. Notwithstanding
the Board's expectation that revenues from existing projects will
decline during the course of 2016, the Group's subscription-based
recurring revenues are viewed as a key element of the business
model.
The Group has identified a pipeline of potential new contracts,
a number of which are being actively developed as prospects.
-- Principal risks and uncertainties facing the business
In addition to the financial risks discussed in Note 29 to the
accounts, the Directors set out below the principal risks and
uncertainties facing the Group and a summary of the key measures
taken to mitigate those risks:
Contract duration and non-renewal of contracts
The Group enters into contracts with its customers which are
typically short term in nature (three/four months) but are normally
renewed at the end of each term, though this cannot be guaranteed.
The Board seeks to ensure that the Group's relationships with its
customers and level of service minimises the risk of contracts not
being renewed.
Concentration of customer base
The Group is a relatively young business and has not yet
achieved a diverse customer base. However, CDialogues has been
continually seeking to reduce customer concentration and will
continue this aim for 2016.
Credit risk
The Group provides services and receives revenues under
agreements entered into with a local partner in the territories in
which it provides services. Whilst the Group endeavours to
diversify its sources of revenue, it is reliant on this
relationship which may result in a greater level of credit risk
than if the Group was contracted directly with the MNOs. However,
such credit risk has not affected the business adversely in the
past and the Group manages this risk by negotiating and enforcing
appropriate contract terms.
Countries in which CDialogues operates
CDialogues operates in countries where there may be risks
associated with the political or economic environment. The Group
seeks to mitigate these risks by (i) undertaking its own risk
analysis of each territory in which it operates; and (ii) operating
with local partners with detailed knowledge of the prevailing
environment.
Attracting and retaining talented staff and motivating key
people
The Group has competitive remuneration packages in place to
secure the services of talented staff and key employees.
Significant failure or interruption to the network or IT
Systems
The Group has rigorous controls to maintain and secure its
operations, including multi-site back up of key systems. In
addition, the Group implements a standardised disaster recovery
plan.
Failure to keep up to date with fast evolving technology
The Group is constantly developing its software platform
ensuring it is evolving in line with the latest technology and in
line with its clients' expectations and demands. Management
regularly communicates with the Company's clients ensuring the
mobile marketing campaigns are meeting their needs.
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
April 11, 2016 02:00 ET (06:00 GMT)
Failure to comply with local laws and regulations
Management mitigate this risk by assessing the regulatory
environment and legal system before entering a new market. The
Group also implements a strong code of conduct across all of its
operations.
In addition to the principal risks and uncertainties above, the
Group faces other risks that include but are not limited to:
-- Increased competition
-- Failure to retain, or loss of, customer contracts
Corporate Responsibility
CDialogues Plc takes its responsibilities as a corporate citizen
seriously in the territories in which the company operates. The
Board's primary goal is to create shareholder value but in a
responsible way which serves all stakeholders. Furthermore,
CDialogues seeks to continually enhance and extend its contribution
to society through the work the Group undertakes with its clients
and in areas where the Group decides to operate.
Governance
The Board considers sound governance as a critical component of
the success of CDialogues and this is given the highest priority.
The Group has an effective and engaged Board, with a strong
non-executive presence from diverse backgrounds, and
well-functioning governance committees. The Audit Committee
receives and reviews reports from management and from the Company's
auditors. It is responsible for ensuring that the financial
performance of the Group is properly reported with particular
regard to legal requirements, accounting standards and the AIM
Rules. Through the Group's compensation policies and variable
components of employee remuneration, the Remuneration Committee of
the Board seeks to ensure that the Company's values are reinforced
in employee behaviour and that effective risk management is
promoted.
Going Concern
The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements
through existing cash reserves. The Directors have prepared
projected cash flow information for a period of at least twelve
months from the date of their approval of the financial statements.
On the basis of this cash flow information, the Directors consider
that the company and group will continue to operate without the
need for additional financing. Therefore, the Directors consider it
appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern
basis.
Current Trading
Given that net contributions from some mature projects are
expected to decrease during 2016, the Company is now focused on
building the new business pipeline while maintaining cash
generation to preserve our balance sheet during this challenging
period for the Company.

1. Corporate information
The consolidated financial information of Cdialogues Plc and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") for the year ended 31
December 2015 has been prepared on the basis set out below.
Cdialogues Plc (the "Company") was incorporated in England and
Wales as a limited liability company in June 2011 and during
financial year 2014 as a consequence of its listing on AIM became a
public company limited by shares.
2. Basis of preparation
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
April 11, 2016 02:00 ET (06:00 GMT)
The consolidated financial information of the Group has been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial information has been prepared on a
historical cost basis, except for, available-for-sale (AFS)
financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The
consolidated financial information is presented in Euros, except
when otherwise indicated.
The financial information does not constitute the Company's
statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015
but is derived from those financial statements. The statutory
financial statements will be delivered following the Company's
Annual General Meeting. The Auditors have reported on those
financial statements; their reports were unqualified and did not
contain any statements under Companies Act 2006 section 498 (2) or
(3).
The directors do not recommend the payment of a final
dividend.
The financial information set out in this announcement was
approved and authorised for issue by the board of directors on 8
April 2016.
Copies of this financial information will be available on the
Company's website.
3. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial information comprise the financial
statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 December
2015. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights,
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only
if, the Group has:
-- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it
the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee)
-- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting
rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the
Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of
an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and
circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee,
including:
-- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
-- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-- The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if
facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or
more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a
subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the
subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the
subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a
subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in
the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains
control until the date the Group ceases to control the
subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of Other Comprehensive Income
(OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the
Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in
the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of
subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the
Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and
liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to
transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on
consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a
loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises
the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities,
non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any
resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any
investment retained is recognised at fair value at the date when
control is lost.
4. Segmental reporting
Based on management information there is only one operating
segment. The Directors of the Company consider the principal
activity of the Group to be that of a provider of Mobile Marketing
services.
In this context there is no obligation to prepare and publish
financial results by segment, according to the requirements of IFRS
8 "Operating Segments". As far as geographical segment the Group
operates mainly (95%) in the area of Middle East and therefore is
considered as one geographical segment.

Defence contribution 7 491
Business tax 1,985 1,000
Total 23,269 60,924
====================== ======================
As at 31 December 2015, the Group's tax loss which is available
for offset against future taxable profits amounts to EUR690,942 for
which no deferred tax asset is recognised in the statement of
financial position.
The "10% additional charge" was nil (2014 EUR2,353) and the
"Defence contribution" amount of EUR7 (2014 EUR491) is related to
Telilea Ltd. More specific is the 10% of the year's tax liability
as calculated in the tax computation of corporation tax. According
to the Cyprus Tax legislation companies have to pay temporary tax
on the 75% of their estimated taxable profits for the year
otherwise there is a surcharge of 10% on the final tax liability
for the year.
The Company is obliged to file its tax returns in accordance
with the applicable tax law in England and Wales. No income tax is
payable on the net income deriving from subsidiaries with foreign
operations.
The Group's subsidiaries file their tax returns in the countries
in which they are established and/or operate. The tax rates at 31
December 2015 of the countries where the operations of the Group
are located are the following:
Greece 29.0 %. (2014: 26.0 per cent)
Cyprus 12.5 %. (2014: 12.5 per cent.)
United Arab Emirates.
The income tax is not applicable. Royal Decree of 2002 of the
Emirate of Dubai states that the company should be exempt from all
taxes including income tax as they operate within the Free
Zone.
Greek subsidiary (Cdialogues S.A.)
Greek tax laws and regulations are subject to interpretations by
the tax authorities. Tax returns are filed annually but the profits
or losses declared for tax purposes remain provisional until such
time, as the tax authorities examine the returns and the records of
the taxpayer and a final assessment is issued. Tax losses, to the
extent accepted by the tax authorities, can be used to offset
profits of the five fiscal years following the fiscal year to which
they relate.
Tax Compliance certificate
From the financial year 2011 and onwards, all Greek Societe
Anonyme and Limited Liability Companies that are required to have
their statutory financial statements audited must in addition
obtain an "Annual Tax Certificate" as provided for by paragraph 5
of Article 82 of L.2238/1994. This "Annual Tax Certificate" must be
issued by the same statutory auditor or audit firm that issues the
audit opinion on the statutory financial statements.
The tax compliance certificate for the financial year 2014 was
concluded by its auditors, based on the provisions of article 65 L.
4174/2013. No significant additional tax liabilities arose, in
excess of those provided for and disclosed in the financial
statements.
The tax compliance certificate for the financial year 2015 is
still in progress based on the provisions of article 65 L.
4174/2013. No significant additional tax liabilities are expected
to arise, in excess of those provided for and disclosed in the
financial statements.
Cyprus subsidiary (Telilea Ltd)
The corporation tax rate is 12.5% (2014:12.5%).
Under certain conditions interest income may be subject to
defence contribution at the rate of 30% (2014:30%). In such cases
this interest will be exempt from corporation tax. In certain
cases, dividends received from abroad may be subject to defence
contribution at the rate of 17% for 2014 and thereafter.
The company has utilised tax relief incentives provided by the
Cyprus tax legislation. These incentives allow for special
treatment on intellectual property.
The Cyprus tax law on Intellectual Property gives rise to the
following tax treatment.
-- The cost of the acquisition or development of Intellectual
Property of a capital nature is amortised over a period of five
years, starting in the year of purchase / development.
-- A statutory reduction of 80% of the profit arising from the
use of the Intellectual Property, as well as from any gain on the
sale of the Intellectual Property.
-- The 80% deduction applies to profit after deducting any
direct expenses including amortisation and interest.
8. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net
profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing
the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of
ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the
dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the
basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
