Marc Vassanelli, Chairman of iEnergizer, commented:
"This has been another successful period for iEnergizer across each division,
despite structural challenges in some business areas. The continuation of
profitable growth has been driven by our colleagues' continued efforts, in
deepening existing customer relationships and attracting new customers via
iEnergizer's compelling and evolving proposition, coupled with careful cost
management. As a result, we are pleased to announce an interim dividend of
5.2p, for the first time.
 
"We benefit from a solid foundation, and with continued strong operational
execution, the development of new sales initiatives and differentiated
offerings, underpinned by a healthy balance sheet and substantial growth
opportunities, we expect sustained business performance through the second
half of the year. The Board looks forward to the remainder of the year with
confidence."
 
 
 1  EBITDA has been calculated under the IFRS 16 accounting standards, under
which a company's operating lease liabilities are shown as liabilities on the
balance sheet, together with the related assets that correspond to the right
to use such assets over the remaining life of the related lease contracts. If
these impacts had not been taken into consideration, the EBITDA would have
been $28.24m.
 
 2  Net Debt has been calculated after excluding IFRS 16 impact of
capitalization of leases as "Right of Use Assets" and their consequent lease
liability creation. If these impacts had been included, Net Debt would have
been $6.72m

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
accounting policies adopted in the Group's most recent annual financial
statements for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.
 
IFRS 16 - Lease Accounting
IFRS 16 will replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related
interpretations. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 introduces a
single lease accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and
liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the
underlying asset is of low value. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 16
is annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019
The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective second
approach, by measuring the asset at an amount equal to the lease liability,
adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments recognized
immediately before the date of initial application.
The Group has applied the following practical expedients:-
a)    On Transition to IFRS 16 the weighted average incremental borrowing
rate applied to lease liabilities recognized under IFRS 16 was 8.40%.
b)   On Transition for Leases previously accounted for as operating leases
with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and for leases of low-
value assets the Group has applied the optional exemptions to not recognize
right of use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight-line
method over the remaining lease term.
The changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the
Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31
March 2020. The Group has initially adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 April 2019.
The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and
therefore comparative information is still reported under IAS -17.
The following is a reconciliation of total operating lease commitments at 31
March 2019 to the lease liabilities recognised at 1 April 2019:

Policy for new leases started from or after 1 April 2019
 
For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 April 2019, the Group
considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as a
contract or part of contract that conveys the right to use an asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration'. To apply this definition the
Group assesses whether it meets three key evaluation points:
o  The contract contained identified asset.
o  Group has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefit from
the use of identified asset throughout the period of use.
o  The Group has right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout
the period of use.
Measurement and Recognition of leases as a lessee
At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a right of use asset and a
lease liability on the balance sheet date. The right of use asset is measured
at cost, which is made up of initial measurement of a lease liability and any
initial direct cost incurred by the Group.
The Group depreciates the right of use assets on a straight line basis from
the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of
the right of use asset or the end of lease term. The Group also assesses the
right of use asset for impairment when such indicator exists.
 
At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the
present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the
Group's incremental borrowing rate
 
The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value
assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use
asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as
an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Policy for the comparative period (which has not been restated) has been
repeated as follows:-
 
Determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on
the substance of the arrangement at inception date whether fulfilment of the
arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the
arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
 Group as a lessee
 
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and
benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the
commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if
lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are
apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as
to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Finance charges are recognized in the consolidated income
statement.
 
Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if
there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the
end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the
estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
 
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated
income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Rent abatements
and escalations are considered in the calculation of minimum lease payments in
the Group's capital lease testing and in determining straight line rent
expense for operating leases.

4.   SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
 
When preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and
assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and
assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
 
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, including the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last
audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019.

11.  SEGMENT REPORTING
Management currently identifies the Group's two service lines business process
outsource and content delivery as operating segments on the basis of
operations. These operating segments are monitored and operating and strategic
decisions are made on the basis of operating segment results.
 
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates the Group's performance
and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators
by reportable segments. The Group's reportable segments are as follows:
1.    Business Process Outsource
2.    Content delivery
3.    Others
 
The measurement of each segment's revenues, expenses and assets is consistent
with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. In addition, two minor
operating segments, for which the quantitative thresholds have not been met,
are currently combined below under 'Others'. Segment information can be
analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:

These non-current financial assets and liabilities, current financial assets
and liabilities have been recorded at their respective carrying amounts as the
management considers the fair values to be not materially different from their
carrying amounts recognised in the statement of financial positions as these
are expected to realise within one year from the reporting dates. Derivative
financial instruments, recorded at fair value through profit and loss, are
recorded at their respective fair values on the reporting dates.
 
13.  FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
 
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or
indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).
 
No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 1 and 3 fair
value measurements.
 
The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

15.  ESTIMATES
The preparation of interim financial statements require management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
In preparing these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the
Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were
the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at
and for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.
16.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent
with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for
the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.
