Commentary on the results for the year

Profit Rebounds & Dividends Increase

The vear ended 30 June 2003 for CPT Global has been one of solid improvement with considerable progress made in our profitability resulting in CPT Global doubling its after tax profit. This has been achieved thanks to the skill and dedication of our global team of IT professionals, management and staff.

CPT Global's revenue for the year ended 30 June 2003 was \$28.92 million. This is an increase of 0.6% on the prior year. The challenging market conditions of 2002 continued with clients remaining focused on reducing IT expenditure. CPT Global retained all its major clients but it in some cases with reduced revenues. These reductions have been offset by the expansion of our global client base. While the backbone of CPT Global's business remains the provision of technical IT services, our presence in the management of IT services market has continued to expand.

CPT Global's net profit before tax for the year end 30 June 2003 was \$2.32 million an increase of 59% on the prior year. Net Profit after tax pre amortisation was \$2.14 million an increase of 69% on the prior year. CPT Global's net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2003 was \$1.67 million. This is an increase of 96.8% on the prior year. This result included a positive contribution from overseas operations. The profit improvement was primarily attributable to targeted marketing, ongoing product development and good cost control.

CPT Global's strong cash flow position was used to fund an on-market share buy back as well as provide for an increase in dividend payments. A final dividend of 3.0 cents per share (fully franked) has been declared. which is payable on 24^th September 2003 with a record date of 8^th September 2003. Total dividend declared and payable for the year ended 30 June 2003 was 5.0 cents per share (fully franked) which was a 100% increase on the prior year.

Notable achievements in CPT Global's operations (including recent developments) include:

• Continued maintenance of CPT Global's client focus, which has enabled us to rapidly respond to clients' changing requirements and priorities:
• Successful development and execution of "Risk/Reward" IT cost reduction services in the mainframe environment that have enabled CPT Global to break into new local and overseas clients, delivering significant value to these clients in a short fimeframe:
• Expansion of service offerings in response to Government Sector opportunities including management of IT to assist IT organisations in becoming more productive and better aligned with the business;
• Retention of all major clients whilst securing additional blue chip private sector and Government clients;
• Gaining selection onto a number of strategic local and overseas supplier panels that will spring board CPT Global's growth and long term future in those sectors;
• The growing reputation and recognition of our management of IT services and the impressive number of Tier 1 clients that have engaged CPT Global to assist in their business critical strategic planning and selective sourcing operations:
• Our success in leveraging our multi-national Australian client base to gain introductions to their overseas parents and affiliates building valuable relationships with some of the world's largest companies. This strategy has placed CPT Global in a position of strength to leverage and build a strong client base in each of our strategically targeted locations:
• Appointment of a regional general manager for the Northern Region (Sydney) and the continued improvement in both the Northern Region and Federal Region (Canberra) revenue and profitability; and
• Appointment of a general manager for the USA operations and the opening of a CPT Global office in New York City.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2003

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers the economic entity of CPT Global Limited and controlled entities, and CPT Global Limited as an individual parent entity. CPT Global Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The following is a summary for the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The economic entity comprises the financial report of CPT Global Limited and of its controlled entities. A controlled entity is any entity controlled by CPT Global Limited. Control exists where CPT Global Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with CPT Global Limited to achieve the objectives of CPT Global Limited. Details of the controlled entities are contained in Note 13.

The assets and liabilities of the overseas controlled entities, which are self-sustaining, are translated at year end rates and operating results are translated at the rates ruling at the end of each month. Gains and losses arising on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

Outside equity interest in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

(b) Income Tax

The economic entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense shown in the profit and loss statement is based on the operating profit before income tax adjusted for any permanent differences.

Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of accounting profit and taxable income are brought to account as either a provision for deferred income tax or as future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.

Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless there is virtual certainty of realisation of the benefit.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

For the year ended 30 June 2003

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

(c) Inventories

Work in progress is valued at cost plus profit recognised to date less any provision for anticipated future losses. Cost includes both variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are attributable to the contract activity in general and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Profits are recognised on the stage of completion basis measured using the proportion of costs incurred to date as compared to expected total costs. Where losses are anticipated they are provided for in full.

Revenue has been recognised on the basis of the terms of the contract adjusted for any variations or claims allowable under the contract.

(d) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation or amortisation. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset	Depreciation Rate
Fixtures Fitting & Equipment	$22.5\% - 37.5\%$
Leasehold improvements	20%
Plant and Machinerv	$11 - 60\%$

(e) Investments

Non-current investments are carried at cost.

The carrying amount of investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the underlying net assets of non-listed investments. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present value in determining recoverable amounts.

(f) Goodwill

Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Purchased goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of 20 years. The balances are reviewed annually and any balance representing future benefits for which the realisation is considered to be no longer probable are written off.

(g) Cash

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and at call deposit with banks or financial institutions, and investments in money market instruments maturing within less than fourteen days.

For the year ended 30 June 2003

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

(h) Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the rendering of consulting services provided are recognised upon delivery of the service to the customers.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(i) Goods & Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

(i) Rounding Of Amounts

The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly. amounts in the financial report and directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest \$1,000.

(k) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year. have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. The company operates an ownership based remuneration scheme through the CPT Share & Option Incentive Plan, details of which are provided in note 32 to the financial statements. Profit or losses incurred by employees being the difference between the market value and the issued price of the shares acquired - are not recognised as an employee benefit expense at the time the employees are entitled to the shares. In the statement of financial position, the shares are recognised at the issue price to the employee.

(I) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency tranactions during the year are converted to Australian currency at the rates of exchange applicable at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at that date.

The gains and losses from conversion of assets and liabilities, whether realised or unrealised, are included in profit from ordinary activities as they arise.

The assets and liabilities of the overseas controlled enities, which are self-sustaining, are translated at yearend rates and operating results are translated at the rates ruling at the end of each month. Gains & losses arising on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.
