Review of Operations

We are pleased to confirm that the forecasted improved performance advised at the AGM has come to fruition.

Our results for the half year ended 31 December 2006 were:

  • Profit efter tax of \$791,902, representing a \$1.6 million improvement over the loss in the corresponding period last year.
  • bass in the concept many power transported for and Amortisation (EBITDA) of
    \$42.83 million representing a 123% increase on the corresponding period in the previous year.

Our performance for the first half of this fiscal year represents an encouraging start. The initiatives begun in the second half of last fiscal year have continued into the first half of this year.

We have completed a number of structural changes to our organization which have improved internal operational efficiencies. We are growing our UK operations and increasing our capacity to respond to the opportunities we are seeing in that market space. Furthermore we are generating new interest in our HUB energy billing products and responding to enquiries from both existing as well as new customers in Australia and the UK.

There are a number of new energy and telecommunications billing projects
expected to be awarded early in 2007 and our full year's performance will be dependent upon our success with these tenders as well as the timing of the start of the new projects. It is pleasing to report, as announced on 19th February 2007, that the first of these projects has been awarded to Hansen by a subsidiary of the Australian Pipe Line Trust for the supply of Hansen's proprietary HUB Network billing solution for their Queensland Gas Distribution business.

We are confident of maintaining the momentum we have built up in the first half of this year and looking forward to a solid second half performance.
