Considerable progress has been made towards this goal and, at SIBOS next month,

wider banking community.

believe the Group has the potential to achieve.'

             INTERIM results for the SIX-MONTHS ended 30 JUNE 2003

I am pleased to report the Group's interim results for the six-months ended 30
June 2003. The Group's turnover for the period was £4.9 million (2002: £6.2
million). The operating loss was £1.2 million (2002: £1.9 million). Loss before
taxation was £1.1 million (2002: £2.2 million loss before the profit on disposal
of SIM, £2.7 million profit including the disposal of SIM) with a retained loss
for the period of £1.1 million (2002: £2.3 million profit). The resultant loss
per share is 2.24 pence.

The decrease in turnover is largely attributable to our contract staff and
recruitment agency. Trading conditions have become no easier than I indicated in
my last report. Notwithstanding this, we have significantly reduced the level of
operating loss and continued to invest in the development of the business.

The Group's financial position has been strengthened during the period by the
raising of £3.9 million though a share placement. As a result the net funds
position has increased from £3.9 million at 31 December to £6.3 million at 30
June.

Strategy

We have continued our strategy of focusing on the core areas of the business;
Banking, Integration and Storage.

Banking

The utilisation of real time information has become a major focus of the banking
sector. This focus will be evident at the major Industry exhibition of the year,
SIBOS, which is being held in Singapore from the 20th to 24th October.

Our primary focus in this area continues to be in the delivery of the
application software and marketing support to Cable & Wireless to assist them to
deliver the Cable & Wireless Real Time Nostro ('C&WRTN') service to the market.
Considerable progress has been made in the past few months. The announcement
made by Cable & Wireless on 15 May that four banks, ANZ Bank, Barclays, JP
Morgan Chase and Mizuho Corporate Bank, had agreed to provide data and to act as
a channel to market for the service was a critical step towards establishing the
service commercially.

The C&WRTN service is now undergoing advanced operational testing in readiness
for full operational deployment. C&WRTN continues to be well received by the
market. Cable & Wireless have indicated that discussions are advanced with a
number of further major financial institutions regarding data provision and use
of their service. At SIBOS the capabilities and competitive advantages of C&WRTN
will be demonstrated to the wider banking community.

C&WRTN will be a subscription based service and the Group will receive a share
of these revenues through its revenue sharing arrangement with Cable & Wireless.
Your board believes that although revenue from C&WRTN will not be significant in
2003, it will build significantly over the coming years.

Integration

Although our integration business has continued to create considerable interest,
particularly in the Finance and Banking sector, this interest is yet to result
in increased revenue in the year to date. We are actively developing
partnerships in order to increase our routes to market for our integration
product, Casablanca. We consider that our proven integration and development
capabilities will enable the level of opportunities to be sustained and
converted into an increasing revenue stream.

Storage

The market for storage products remains difficult particularly in the key US
market. We have expanded our current niche product range by increasing the
number of hardware platforms it serves. In addition we have continued to develop
our new product in order to enhance our offering to a wider storage market.

Outlook

As I reported in April, we consider that C&WRTN is our most significant market
opportunity and that it has the potential to deliver the most substantial
returns in the Group's history. The continuing progress on C&WRTN has moved us
much closer to realising this opportunity. Although progress has been slower
than we hoped in the other strategic areas of our business, we believe that they
continue to have the potential to deliver shareholder value. Our focus is to
deliver the significant medium and long term growth that we believe the Group
has the potential to achieve.

Once again I must thank the staff and shareholders for their loyalty and
contribution to the progress we have made during the past few months.

4 Earnings per share
  Earnings  per share has been calculated in accordance with FRS 14 using  the
  following earnings and weighted average shares outstanding:

                                               Six months ended      Year ended
                                              30 June     30 June   31 December
                                                 2003        2002          2002
       Earnings                                 £'000       £'000         £'000
       Basic and fully diluted earnings        (1,057)      2,303         1,175
                                               (1,057)      2,303         1,175

       Weighted average number of shares
       Basic weighted average              47,186,369  46,636,479    46,816,200
       Potential ordinary shares                    -     688,605     1,197,072
       Fully diluted weighted average      47,186,369  47,325,084    48,013,272


  Diluted earnings per share are identical to basic earnings per share for the
  6 months ended 30 June 2003 because potential diluting events would have the
  effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share.
