REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL REVIEW
CPT ’s revenue for the half year ended 31 December 2012 was $16.7 million, an 18% decrease on the prior corresponding half year’s revenue of $20.3 million. Australian Revenue decreased 3% to $13.4 million (2011: $13.8m) and international revenue decreased 49% to $3.3 million (2011: $6.5m). EBITDA for the half year was -$0.9 million (2011: $1.0 million profit).
CPT’s cash position of $0.7 million (2011: 2.3m) was impacted by the period’s trading performance, but remains positive and a current ratio of 1.55:1 exists.
CPT posted a net loss after tax of $1.0m for the half year ended 31 December 2012 (2011: $0.8m profit).
Earnings per share and diluted earnings per share was -2.80 cents per share (2011: 2.17 cents).
CPT Global Limited will not pay a dividend from the first half year of operations.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Australia
Performance of the Australian operations has remained consistent with prior periods. The growth which has occurred in the Sydney and Melbourne markets (16% and 1% respectively) has been offset by revenue reductions in the Canberra market where Government spending is tight and new IT projects are minimal.
As in prior years, the Australian business has played a vital role in supporting the international business by providing staff expertise to North America and Europe.
International
International operations continue to be impacted by delays in securing new client contracts. Over the past twelve months, CPT has engaged with a number of tier 1 financial institutions in Europe and North America to present CPT’s track record in IT cost optimization and illustrate the benefits that CPT can bring their organizations. A number of contracts are currently in the midst of negotiation and there is a clear expectation that contracts will be awarded to CPT in the near term. Regrettably a number of delays have been experienced in the awarding of the contracts to CPT due to the ‘restructuring agenda’ that featured as a high priority in many European and North American large corporations.
During the period CPT continued to undertake a number of small engagements (Phase 1) at Fortune 500 Companies, with two clients committing to the more lucrative Phase 2 projects, where CPT shares in the financial success provided to the client, late in the period. In addition, two long term clients renewed their commitment to using CPT for 2013. CPT has also recently engaged with two of the top ten global banks and is currently finalizing arrangements to provide cost optimization services to them on a global scale and there are currently two clients in Europe proposing the appointment of CPT in the next month to proceed to Phase 2 on a risk / reward basis. Revenue and margins will be significantly bolstered once these contracts are awarded to CPT.
CPT also invested in the development of new markets in Asia and South America, leveraging business alliances and pursuing existing clients with operations in those regions. Two contracts have recently commenced in Singapore and negotiations are currently underway in China and Brazil to commence two additional significant contracts.
3
CPT Global Limited & Controlled Entities - Half-Year Report
CPT is still awaiting a more substantial return on the business development investments made over the past few years. The economic slowdown in Europe has delayed many opportunities and CPT has incurred significant cost in attempts to close a number of these prospects.
We believe that CPT’s growth opportunities and ability to deliver in a cost effective manner remain strong. Whilst the economic environment has had an impact on the speed of engagement commencement, CPT continues to be well placed to handle the growth when and as it occurs.
OUTLOOK
The Australian operation remains solid, with growth opportunities in each of CPT’s geographical markets. The Melbourne and Sydney markets will continue to grow as relationships with the company’s tier 2 clients continue to strengthen.
The International operation will return to the revenue and profit levels of the past, once the remaining two contracts are signed and projects commence. It is still CPT’s expectation that the international business will grow at a faster pace than the Australian operation given the number and size of the opportunities currently in the pipeline.
CPT expects to return to profitability in the second half of 2013.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2012 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of CPT Global Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as “the Group”). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012, together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.
Accounting Policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements, except in relation to the matters discussed below.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The critical estimates and judgments are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the June 2012 annual report.
| NOTE 2: DIVIDENDS Distributions paid (a) Aggregate dividends payable Declared interim fully franked ordinary dividend of 0.0 cents per share (2011: 1.5 cents per share franked at the tax rate of 30% ). (b) Aggregate dividends declared and paid not previously recognised as a liability Final fully franked ordinary dividend of 0.0 cents per share (2011: 1.0 cents per share franked at the tax rate of 30%) NOTE 3: INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill at cost Accumulated impairment losses Total goodwill Intellectual Property at cost Software at cost Accumulated amortisation and impairment Total software Total intangible assets |

CPT Global Limited & Controlled Entities - Half-Year Report
NOTE 3: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)
Intangible assets other than goodwill and intellectual property have finite useful lives. The current amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense per the statement of comprehensive income. Goodwill and intellectual property have indefinite useful lives. These have been assessed as having indefinite useful lives because these intangible assets arose on the acquisition of businesses purchased as going concerns. These businesses continue to be operated within the CPT Global Group and there are no plans to cease any part of these operations.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, based on the Group’s reporting segment.
| Australian Segment Europe Segment |
2012 2011 $'000 $'000 6,557 6,557 629 629 |
|---|---|
| 7,186 7,186 |
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Valuein-use is calculated based on the present value of the projected cash flows from that cash-generating unit over 5 years; periods beyond 5 years have been extrapolated using the terminal value growth rate of 4.7%.
Key Assumptions
The following key assumptions were used in determining the recoverable amount of goodwill:
| Discount rate | Discount rate | Gross | Margin | Sales | Growth | Transfer | Pricing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 2011 | 2012 | 2011 | 2012 | 2011 | 2012 | 2011 | |
| Australian Segment | 16.5% | 16.5% | 27.0% | 28.5% | 5.6% | 5.0% | 32% | 37% |
Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets and estimates for the CGU. The value-in-use is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
-
Discount rate;
-
Gross profit margins
-
Sales growth rates; and
-
Transfer Pricing
Discount rate – discount rate is a post tax rate and reflects the risks associated with a particular segment.
Gross profit margins – values assigned reflect past experience and recognition of the existing tightening market conditions.
Sales growth rates – reflects management’s expectations of revenue growth in the context of the Group’s Australian market strategy.
Transfer Pricing – represents expected costs incurred by CPT Global Australia in respect to supporting the operations of foreign subsidiaries and recovery of them based on their performance. Delays in the closing of contracts within the International regions have led to the underperformance of foreign subsidiaries at the date of this report. Notwithstanding this, the directors still believe the estimated future cash flow required to support the value of goodwill will be achieved within the financial year.
11
CPT Global Limited & Controlled Entities - Half-Year Report
NOTE 3: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The recoverable amount of goodwill is sensitive to reasonable possible changes in some of the key assumptions. Sensitivity analysis has been performed by applying the following possible changes in key assumptions:
-
Growth rate – 2% decrease in gross margins achieved
-
Discount rate – 2% increase in discount rate
-
Transfer Pricing – 8% reduction in recoverability of expenses
The maximum possible effect of these changes would result in impairment in the value of goodwill of up to $2.64 million as at 31 December 2012.
NOTE 4: CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Since the last annual reporting date, there has been no material change of any contingent liabilities or contingent assets.
NOTE 5: BORROWINGS
The economic entity has a financing facility to the value of 75% of its Australian accounts receivable balances. This facility is used periodically. At the end of the reporting period an amount of $86,082 was drawn on the facility. This is reported as Trade and other payables.

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 the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and explanatory information and the directors’ declaration. The consolidated entity comprises both CPT Global Limited (“the company”) and the entities it controlled during the half year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 , and for such internal 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 Auditing Standard 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, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance 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 accounting 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 .

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 2012 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 your attention to Note 3 in the financial report. The impairment analysis performed on the goodwill is based on cash flow projections that use a range of assumptions and accounting estimates whose outcome depends on future events. Given the current uncertainty in achieving the cash flows, it is extremely difficult to confirm forecast future cash flows with the degree of confidence required to be able to state that goodwill is fully recoverable at the amount disclosed in the financial report. The recoverable amount of the goodwill is sensitive to reasonable possible changes in these key assumptions.
Notwithstanding the directors’ belief that the goodwill is fully recoverable, this matter indicates the existence of a material uncertainty should key assumptions change which may cast doubt on the carrying value of the goodwill and whether it is impaired.
