REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL REVIEW

CPT Global’s revenue for the half year ended 31 December 2010 was $19.6 million, a 4% increase on the previous corresponding half year’s revenue of $18.8 million. Australian Revenue increased 1% to $14.1 million (2009 $13.9m) and international revenue increased 15% to $5.5 million (2009 $4.8m). EBITDA for the half year was $1.2m compared to a loss of $0.7m in the previous half year.

CPT Global’s net profit after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2010 was $0.6 million, compared to the previous corresponding half year’s loss of $0.9 million.

Continued volatility in foreign exchange markets has led to $257,000 of foreign currency translation losses (2009 $103,000).

Earnings per share was 1.66 cents per share and diluted earnings per share was 1.65 cents per share.

Based on the first half results CPT Global Limited will pay a dividend of 1.5 cents per share which is in line with its policy of a high dividend payment ratio on net profit after tax.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Australia

Performance of the Australian operations has improved in the period. Although CPT Global’s business at its largest Australian client has reduced significantly due to the completion of client projects, this has been offset by growth in a number of other accounts, particularly within two large financial institutions which have become large strategic accounts. In addition Australian staff expertise has been utilized in the USA and Europe to assist in the growth of CPT Global’s international business.

The restructure implemented in early 2010 has been a key contributor to the reduction in the cost base which supported the achievement of this result. A key strategic objective is the expansion of the Sydney market. A senior business development executive with a strong track record of successfully growing profitable business has recently been appointed to lead this expansion from early 2011.

International

The international operations have also performed better in the period. Although profitable, CPT Global is still awaiting a return on the business development investments made over the past few years. During the period CPT Global completed several small engagements (Phase 1) at Fortune 500 Companies, with one client committing to the more lucrative Phase 2, where CPT Global shares in the savings achieved by the client. There are many clients in Europe and North America currently considering the potential to proceed to Phase 2 on a risk / reward basis. We anticipate that many of these clients will proceed at some stage over the next 12 months, leading to further expansion of the International business. A number of long term contracts with CPT Global’s larger International clients have been renewed again.

CPT Global Limited & Controlled Entities - Half-Year Report

Now that CPT Global’s value proposition is generating more interest in the company’s International business, our focus remains on further business development, the capitalisation of previous business development activities and the cultivation and growth of our current client base, with the aid of our alliance partner Tori and our relationship with Austrade.

OUTLOOK

In the Australian operations, the framework is now in place to capitalise on the improved economic outlook, with the appointment of a proven business development executive to lead our expansion in the Sydney market and further enhancement of our intellectual property through targeted expansion of our practice and consultant capabilities. In the event there are further reductions in CPT Global’s presence at our previously largest Australian client, CPT’s mitigation strategy will be to redeploy these consultants to other strategic accounts due to their highly specialist skills base and capabilities. This is in line with activity over the period where almost all resources who have become available, have been redeployed to other accounts without delay.

In the International operations, we expect further growth by capitalising on prior business development investments and focusing on transitioning clients to the more lucrative Phase 2 projects.

CPT Global is positive about the outlook for the second half of the 2011 financial year and our Statement of Financial Position remains sound.

ROUNDING

The amounts contained in this report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable) under the option available to the company under ASIC Class Order 98/0100. The company is an entity to which the Class Order applies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF CPT GLOBAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of CPT Global Limited and controlled entities (“the consolidated entity”) which comprises of the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2010, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising of a summary of significant accounting policies, other selected explanatory information and the director’s declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of CPT Global Limited (“the company”) are responsible for the preparation of the halfyear financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 , and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial report is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of CPT Global Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and account matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Moore Stephens ABN 39 533 589 331. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. An independent member of Moore Stephens International Limited – members in principal cities throughout the world. The Melbourne Moore Stephens firm is not a partner or agent of any other Moore Stephens firm. And is a separate partnership in Victoria.

==> picture [171 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of CPT Global Limited and controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Significant Uncertainty Regarding Accounting Estimate

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, we draw attention to the following matter. The impairment analysis performed on the goodwill is based on a number of assumptions and accounting estimates whose outcome depends on future events. Given the current economic uncertainty, it is extremely difficult to forecast future cash flows with the degree of confidence required to be able to state that goodwill within the three Australian cash generating units (“CGU”) is fully recoverable at the amount disclosed in the financial report.

Notwithstanding the directors’ belief that the goodwill figure is fully recoverable, this matter indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on whether the company will realise the value of goodwill at the amount disclosed in the financial report.

Matters Relating to the Electronic Publication of the Audited Financial Report

This review report relates to the financial report of CPT Global Limited and controlled entities for the period ended 31 December 2010 included on CPT Global Limited’s website. The company’s directors are responsible for the integrity of CPT Global Limited’s website. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of the CPT Global Limited’s website. This review report refers only to the half-year report identified above. It does not conclude on any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from this report. If users of the financial report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from publication on a website, they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the half-year financial report to confirm the information contained in this website version of the financial report.
