Marc Vassanelli, Chairman of iEnergizer, commented:

"This has been another successful period for iEnergizer across each division, despite structural challenges in some business areas. The continuation of profitable growth has been driven by our colleagues' continued efforts, in deepening existing customer relationships and attracting new customers via iEnergizer's compelling and evolving proposition, coupled with careful cost management. As a result, we are pleased to announce an interim dividend of 5.2p, for the first time.

"We benefit from a solid foundation, and with continued strong operational execution, the development of new sales initiatives and differentiated offerings, underpinned by a healthy balance sheet and substantial growth opportunities, we expect sustained business performance through the second half of the year. The Board looks forward to the remainder of the year with confidence."

[1] EBITDA has been calculated under the IFRS 16 accounting standards, under which a company's operating lease liabilities are shown as liabilities on the balance sheet, together with the related assets that correspond to the right to use such assets over the remaining life of the related lease contracts. If these impacts had not been taken into consideration, the EBITDA would have been $28.24m.

[2] Net Debt has been calculated after excluding IFRS 16 impact of capitalization of leases as "Right of Use Assets" and their consequent lease liability creation. If these impacts had been included, Net Debt would have been $6.72m.

   2.   GENERAL INFORMATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS 

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as developed and published by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'), on a going concern basis. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared and presented in United States Dollar (US$) which is the Company's functional currency.

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board on

12 November 2019.

The Group has applied the same accounting policies in preparing these unaudited management financial information as adopted in the most recent annual audited financial information of the Group.

   3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group's most recent annual financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.

IFRS 16 - Lease Accounting

IFRS 16 will replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 introduces a single lease accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 16 is annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019

The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective second approach, by measuring the asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments recognized immediately before the date of initial application.

The Group has applied the following practical expedients:-

a) On Transition to IFRS 16 the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized under IFRS 16 was 8.40%.

b) On Transition for Leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and for leases of low- value assets the Group has applied the optional exemptions to not recognize right of use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight-line method over the remaining lease term.

The changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 March 2020. The Group has initially adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 April 2019. The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore comparative information is still reported under IAS -17.

The following is a reconciliation of total operating lease commitments at 31 March 2019 to the lease liabilities recognised at 1 April 2019:

Policy for new leases started from or after 1 April 2019

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 April 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as a contract or part of contract that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration'. To apply this definition the Group assesses whether it meets three key evaluation points:

o The contract contained identified asset.

o Group has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefit from the use of identified asset throughout the period of use.

o The Group has right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use.

Measurement and Recognition of leases as a lessee

At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet date. The right of use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of initial measurement of a lease liability and any initial direct cost incurred by the Group.

The Group depreciates the right of use assets on a straight line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the end of lease term. The Group also assesses the right of use asset for impairment when such indicator exists.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Group's incremental borrowing rate

The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Policy for the comparative period (which has not been restated) has been repeated as follows:-

Determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Group as a lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Rent abatements and escalations are considered in the calculation of minimum lease payments in the Group's capital lease testing and in determining straight line rent expense for operating leases.

   4.   SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY 

When preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

Management currently identifies the Group's two service lines business process outsource and content delivery as operating segments on the basis of operations. These operating segments are monitored and operating and strategic decisions are made on the basis of operating segment results.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by reportable segments. The Group's reportable segments are as follows:

   1.    Business Process Outsource 
   2.    Content delivery 
   3.    Others 

The measurement of each segment's revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. In addition, two minor operating segments, for which the quantitative thresholds have not been met, are currently combined below under 'Others'. Segment information can be analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:

These non-current financial assets and liabilities, current financial assets and liabilities have been recorded at their respective carrying amounts as the management considers the fair values to be not materially different from their carrying amounts recognised in the statement of financial positions as these are expected to realise within one year from the reporting dates. Derivative financial instruments, recorded at fair value through profit and loss, are recorded at their respective fair values on the reporting dates.

13. FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 1 and 3 fair value measurements.

The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

15. ESTIMATES

The preparation of interim financial statements require 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.

(1) EBITDA has been calculated under the IFRS 16 accounting standards, under which a company's operating lease liabilities are shown as liabilities on the balance sheet, together with the related assets that correspond to the right to use such assets over the remaining life of the related lease contracts. If these impacts had not been taken into consideration, the EBITDA would have been $28.24m.

(2) Net Debt has been calculated after excluding IFRS 16 impact of capitalization of leases as "Right of Use Assets" and their consequent lease liability creation. If these impacts had been included, Net Debt would have been $6.72m
