Further information on the CNS 'next generation' product and strategy
The CNS 'next generation' offering is intended to add support for deployment in cloud infrastructure, virtual environments, and larger scale networks enabling access to new global markets.
An increasing number of online providers, enterprises and data centres are actively upgrading their network designs to include a traffic inspection, monitoring and control layer at their points of connectivity to the Internet. This additional layer of security protection has become increasingly important to combat the growing variety and frequency of Internet-borne cyber threats including DDoS attacks, bot-net operations, competitive abuse and server intrusion.
During 2012 and 2013, CNS has invested in the development of a 'next generation' First Line of Defense product which expands both the feature set and market reach of its solutions for this growing market segment. The first release of this 'next generation' product is expected to be deployed in customer networks at the end of 2013, with further releases to follow in the course of 2014.
Corero Business Systems ("CBS")
Revenues in the first half of 2012 were $4.6 million (H1 2012: $4.1 million).
CBS reported an operating profit before depreciation, amortisation, and financing costs in the six months to 30 June 2013 of $1.4 million (H1 2012: profit $1.2 million).
Key achievements in the first half of 2013 include:
· 158 new academy and school customers
· Sales to 18 academy groups
Sale of CBS
The Company's interest in CBS was sold on 1 August 2013. The total aggregate cash consideration was $19.7 million, subject to the repayment of the CBS debt of $1.8 million. The Company had a legal and beneficial holding of 92% of the issued share capital of CBS, with the remainder held by management employees of CBS. The proceeds of the sale received by the Company after repayment of the CBS debt were $16.5 million.
On a pro-forma basis to illustrate the effect on the net cash position of the Group that the sale of CBS would have had if it had occurred on 30 June 2013 and including the net consideration received by the Company from the sale (after repayment of the CBS debt), the Group would have had net cash at 30 June 2013 of $15.2 million.
The aggregate valuation of CBS of $19.7 million on a debt free basis represents:
· a multiple in excess of 8.0 times the CBS earnings before development costs capitalised, depreciation, amortisation and financing for the year ended 31 December 2012; and
· in excess of 2.2 times the CBS revenues for the year ended 31 December 2012.
The sale has generated a profit on disposal, to be reported for the year ending 31 December 2013, of approximately $15.0 million.
Central costs
Central costs for the the six months to 30 June 2013 were $0.7 million (H1 2012: $0.6 million) which relate to the Group's finance and administration functions as well as the costs associated with the Company's listing on AIM.
Board changes
On 6 September 2013 Ashley Stephenson was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Andrew Miller was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, having previously been Group Chief Operating Officer.
Outlook
The sale of the CBS business has resulted in the Company becoming exclusively focused in the network security market and has provided the Company with the cash resources to fund the organic development of the network security business.
The Board believes that the network security market remains highly attractive. Specifically, the DDoS prevention market is forecast by Infonetics to grow by over 25% CAGR in the period 2012 to 2017 and IDC forecast the market will be worth $870 million in 2017.
For the year ending 31 December 2013 the CNS division expects to report revenue similar to that for the year ended 31 December 2012.
The Board remains confident in the Group's prospects.

Notes to the interim financial statements
1. General information and basis of preparation
Corero Network Security plc (the "Company") is a company domiciled in England. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2013
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,
"Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2012 Annual Report. The financial information for the half years ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 and is unaudited.
The annual financial statements of Corero Network Security plc are prepared in accordance with
IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The comparative financial information for the year ended
31 December 2012 included within this report does not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The statutory Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2012 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on that Annual Report and Financial
Statement for 2012 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors believe that the current sales prospects combined with existing working capital resources and proceeds from the sale of CBS should ensure that the Group has adequate working capital to service its existing business for the foreseeable future. The directors have made this assessment based on internal forecasts and cash flow projections.
These consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board on 16 September 2013 and approved for issue on 17 September 2013.
2. Segment reporting
Business segments
The Group is managed according to two business units which make up the Group's two reportable operating segments: Corero Network Security and Corero Business Systems. These divisions are the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information to the Board, which management consider to be the Chief Operating Decision maker for the purposes of IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The principal activity of Corero Network Security is the design, development and delivery of network security products. The principal activity of Corero Business Systems is the design, development and delivery of finance and management information software to the school, further education and commercial sectors.

3. Loss per share
Loss per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
At the reporting dates there were no potentially dilutive ordinary shares. Therefore the diluted loss per share is equal to the loss per share.
