Chief Executive Mike Lawrie comments
'Customers have continued to adopt the new solutions that
we have been investing in, despite challenging market
conditions in financial services. Sales of these new
solutions brought ILF order intake growth of 33% in the
second quarter, and we added 41 new customers in the first
half across Banking and Capital Markets. Our investment in
new solutions increased in the half and today we announce the
summer launch of BankFusion 2.0.
During the period, our customers took longer over their
purchase decisions as financial market conditions
deteriorated. However, with many customers there are new
opportunities as they seek to consolidate their systems with
fewer vendors and to upgrade their systems to meet regulatory
requirements.
Our recently acquired Misys Sophis business improved its
order intake growth in the second quarter and for the first
half achieved a 4 percentage point operating margin increase
on last year as we executed cost synergies.
I am pleased with the overall results from the growth regions
of Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, which
contributed almost 70% of our new customer wins.
Our medium-term financial targets, for the two years to 31
May 2013, are unchanged: annual revenue growth of 5-8% and
adjusted operating margins of 20-23% for the Misys Group
including Sophis. However, given the continuing uncertainty
among our customers, we have put in place contingency plans
to eliminate £6-8m of operating costs to support our
financial results over the rest of this financial year
without impacting our product development investments or
sales capacity.'

Exceptional items (6) (3) Operating Profit 5 18 (73%) Order
intake was £108.6m, up 3% on the prior year period. Licence
orders were up 15%, driven by adoption of our new solutions.
Services orders were uneven, with new Banking solutions at
early stages in their implementations and the prior year
period including some large multi-year premium support sales.
Services orders grew strongly in TCM and Misys Sophis as a
result of new customer and upgrade activity. Revenue of
£196.9m was 1% above the prior year with 7% growth in TCM, a
3% decline in Banking and a 2% decline in Misys Sophis.
Services revenues increased strongly from the implementation
of new solutions and from upgrading customers' existing
systems, particularly in TCM and Misys Sophis. Lower licence
revenues reflected the increased proportion of orders coming
from new solutions, which convert more gradually into
revenue. Recurring revenues from maintenance, ASP
subscriptions and transaction processing constituted 52% of
revenues. Adjusted operating profit was £30.1m (2010/11:
£33.2m), impacted by a higher proportion of revenues from
services in the period and by increased investment in product
development, particularly on the performance, functional
coverage and componentisation of our capital markets
solutions. Strong demand for our new solutions remains
clearly evident. We secured key new licence sales during the
period as 41 customers adopted our new solutions for Capital
Markets and Banking.
The growth regions of Asia, Africa Latin America and Eastern
Europe provided 68% of our new customers and 40% of our order
intake.

year due to the higher proportion of orders from new
solutions and to slow purchase decisions amongst some of our
existing and potential new customers.
Application Service Provision revenues were at similar levels
to prior year.
Global Services revenues grew 11% as recently sold solutions
went into implementation and as adoption of our expanded
support services increased.
Maintenance was at the same level as the prior year,
reflecting an increase in TCM, with new customers going live,
and a decrease in Banking as recent new customers have not
yet begun their maintenance contracts.
Transaction Processing fees were 10% above last year,
benefitting from new customers adopting our confirmation
matching service.
Divisional Review
The information in this section is presented on an adjusted
basis, with comparisons to prior year on a constant currency
basis unless stated otherwise (see notes on page 11).
Treasury & Capital Markets (TCM)
In TCM, order intake grew 10% to £42.9m, including strong
growth in ILF orders, a reduction in ASP orders after some
large new customer deals in the prior year, and particularly
strong growth in services orders resulting from
implementation of new solutions sold in recent periods.
Revenues grew 7% to £ 89.0m, including strong growth in
services. Adjusted operating profit was below last year's
level at £11.0m (2010/11: £ 15.6m), due to a higher
proportion of revenues from services and to increased product
development spending on interfaces for Loan IQ, and on
componentising Summit. £m 2011/12 2010/11 % change Order

There were 16 new customer sales in the period across all of
our key product lines, including 11 sales in the growth
regions of Asia and the Middle East.
Opics Plus, our mid-market and treasury solution, added nine
new customers, all from the growth regions of Asia and the
Middle East. Treasury customers such as Muslim Commercial
Bank in Pakistan and Bukopin Bank in Indonesia have been
seeking to move off manual systems in order to handle
increasing transaction volumes and comply with regulations.
Derivatives and fixed income traders such as ADS Securities
in Abu Dhabi and Harbin Bank in China were seeking fast
implementation of systems that could handle their new trading
operations in compliance with local trading regulations. In
the lending market, Loan IQ added three large new customers
in the US for both syndicated and bilateral lending,
including US Bank and Farm Credit. All are replacing manual
and disjointed systems. Another, PNC Capital, is the first
adopter of the new Loan Trader Desktop.
Summit's three new customers included China Bond
Insurance, purchasing a front-to-back office system for
market making in credit derivatives. Some key existing
customers also upgraded and consolidated their systems.
In a market characterised by increasing requirements to
analyse and control risk, realise trading efficiencies and
comply with regulations, TCM is well-positioned for
leadership, having been placed in Gartner's
'leadership quadrant' of treasury and trading system
vendors.
Misys Sophis
In Misys Sophis, order intake was £22.8m (2010/11 first half:
£24.3m), having strengthened markedly in the second quarter
with 34% growth on the prior year period. Revenues were
£32.1m (2010/11 first half: £32.7m). Services revenues
increased as services offerings were enriched and projects
were initiated with large existing customers to develop their
systems further, to incorporate greater risk control and
analytics. ILF revenues declined as some potential new
customers delayed purchase decisions. Adjusted operating
profit increased 13.2% on the prior year period, largely as a
result of administrative efficiencies as part of the
integration into Misys. The operating margin increased to 33%
(2010/11 first half: 29%). £m 2011/12 2010/11 % change Order

The 6 new name sales in the period included 4 new buy-side
customers, among them some new and expanding hedge funds.
Sociİtİ Gİnİrale was another new customer in its new
derivatives trading operation in Korea as it established a
system compliant with Korean regulations. A cross-selling
success came with Bank of Beirut in Lebanon, a Misys banking
customer, adopting Misys Sophis for both its sell-side and
buy-side trading.
New deals included some leased software contracts which will
yield recurring revenues in future periods.
Misys Sophis remains at the forefront of trading, portfolio
and risk management systems, having during the period brought
to market new solutions for front-office portfolio analysis,
exchange-traded funds and market risk management.
Banking In Banking, order intake increased 3% to £42.8m
(2010/11 first half: £41.5m), including strong growth in ILF
orders, mostly from customers adopting our new solutions.
Services orders were lower than last year because new
customers are at early stages in their implementations and
because the prior year included some large multi-year premium
support sales. Revenues were £75.6m (2010/11 first half:
£77.6m). The strong increase in ILF orders from new solutions
has not yet flowed through to licence, services and
maintenance revenues.
Adjusted operating profit rose 11% to £13.5m as a result of
licence revenue growth and tight control of costs. Investment
in our new BankFusion and Transaction Banking solutions
continued at high levels.

New solutions, principally comprising BankFusion and
Transaction Banking, were 61% of total ILF orders. The
BankFusion strategy progressed with eight new sales and
upgrades for existing BankFusion customers. 11 customers are
now live on BankFusion, which represents a significant step
forward in the referenceability of our installations. Two new
BankFusion customers were added in Eastern Europe. Raiffeisen
in Hungary converted to BankFusion Equation, including
lending and branch teller modules and with our Trade
Innovations component also added in. Belvenesheconombank in
Belarus became our first BankFusion deal involving renovation
of third-party software. In Transaction Banking there were 10
new sales in the period, a pick-up in momentum from the seven
sales in the prior year period. Six of the new customers were
in the growth regions of the Middle East, Eastern Europe and
Asia, where regional banks are becoming increasingly involved
in funding the trade finance requirements of their corporate
customers. New transaction banking customers included
Commercial Bank of Qatar, the Bank of East Asia in Singapore
and East West Bank in Hong Kong. The componentised approach
of the Banking division, incorporating core banking and
transaction banking components delivered through unified
portal technology, is increasing its competitive win rates.
The leadership credentials of our banking solutions have been
recognised in Gartner's 'leadership quadrant' of
international retail core banking vendors.
Corporate & Other
The net charge for the period was £5.1m compared with £3.9m
in the prior year period, which benefitted from higher Open
Source revenue and from recharges to Allscripts, prior to its
disposal, for shared corporate services.
Open Source
Open Source is considered an operating segment but is not a
reportable segment required to be disclosed under IFRS 8. It
is included in the 'Corporate & Other' category in
the divisional results.
Misys Open Source Solutions ('MOSS') has continued to
develop interoperability solutions for the free exchange of
data, based on a services, subscription and maintenance
model. We are seeing particular interest in our healthcare
information exchange solutions. Revenues in the period were
£0.2m (2010/11
first half: £0.6m). Global Services
A Group summary of the services revenues which are reported
separately under each of the principal divisions.
In addition to activity related to the implementation of
software solutions (professional services, consulting,
education and training), we have extended the services and
support offered to customers through initiatives such as
premium support.
Services revenues grew 11%, reflecting the implementation and
go-live of some large systems sold over recent periods by
TCM. These have included both new customers and large scale
system extensions enabling existing customers to expand
trading operations and make trading systems more efficient.
In Banking, services orders were below last year's
levels, with an impact on revenues, because implementations
for our recent new customers are at early stages and because
the prior year included some large premium support contracts.
Misys Sophis achieved significant growth in services revenues
as it enriched its services offerings and started projects
with large existing customers to incorporate greater risk
control and portfolio analytics into their systems. Financial

first half-year contribution from Misys Sophis since its
acquisition. Operating profit before exceptional items
reduced to £11.6m from £20.3m in the prior period because the
higher adjusted operating profit, as a result of the first
Misys Sophis contribution, was offset by a £17.3m charge for
amortisation of acquired intangibles in Misys Sophis. The
increase in exceptional charges before interest and tax to
£6.4m (2010/11: £2.6m) arose from merger and acquisitions
projects, and from non-recurring integration costs and
management retention payments in respect of the Sophis
acquisition. Divisional operating results As reported, £m

£8.8m (2010/11: net finance income of £1.1m) included a £
2.4m charge (2010/11: £0.4m credit) in respect of unrealised
remeasurement losses on the hedging of future operating cash
flow currency exposures, for which hedge accounting is not
considered practical. This item is excluded from adjusted
earnings per share since it relates to future periods. Last
year, the Allscripts disposal generated high cash balances
which earned interest before the return of capital and Sophis
acquisition took place. Profit (Loss) and Taxation There was
a loss before taxation of £3.6m (2010/11: profit before
taxation of £ 18.8m), as a result of lower operating profit
and the increased net finance charge.
The net tax credit of £0.9m included a deferred tax credit.
The underlying effective tax rate on adjusted operating
profit was 22%, which reduced from last year's 26% rate
as a result of the first full half year impact of the lower
tax rate of Misys Sophis.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Adjusted basic EPS excludes
exceptional items, embedded derivatives gains (losses),
amortisation of acquired intangible assets and unrealised
gains (losses) from hedging the future cash flow currency
exposures of future periods. In the opinion of the Directors,
this measure provides the most comparable and representative
information on the trading activities of the Group. The
increase of adjusted basic EPS to 6.0p (2010/11: 2.8p)
reflects the first full half year contribution from Misys
Sophis since its acquisition and also a reduction in the
weighted average number of shares in issue to 325.2m
(2010/11: 532.9m) after last year's share buyback and
share consolidation and this year's share repurchase
programme. Capital expenditure, research & development
Expenditure on research and development including capitalised
expenditure was £ 38.7m (2010/11: £32.1m). Capitalised
software development expenditure on key new solutions
addressing new market opportunities was £13.3m (2010/11:
£9.2m), the increase attributable to the expanded scope of
BankFusion development and expenditure by Misys Sophis since
its acquisition. Research & development expenditure

In Banking, the functional coverage of BankFusion Universal
Banking has been accelerated to enable the targeting of a
much wider range of new banking opportunities. In addition,
the BankFusion technology platform is being extended to
enable a wider range of banking software systems to be
renovated.
In TCM and Misys Sophis, the Summit and Risque sell-side
platforms are being componentised so that trading
functionality can be progressively added to and integrated by
customers seeking to take a new approach to consolidating
their systems. Loan IQ is being developed for new customers
and for consolidation by existing customers, with the
addition of a trader desktop, enterprise workflow and
interfaces to other systems.
Total capital expenditure and investment was £20.0m (2010/11:
£10.5m), the balance after software development being £6.7m
(2010/11: £1.3m), spent principally on improving our computer
and systems infrastructure and on expanding product
development facilities in India and China.
Cash Flow and Net Debt Trade receivables were reduced from
£64.8m at the start of the financial year to £61.8m at the
end of the first half, a result of focused collection
efforts. Accrued income reduced from £53.8m to £50.9m.
Days' sales outstanding (based on trade receivables and
accrued income compared with trailing quarter revenues) was
95 days, compared with 86 days at the start of the period as
a result of seasonally lower revenues in the second quarter
compared with the final quarter of the previous financial
year. The first half is seasonally one of net cash outflow,
because annual maintenance fees are not billed until the end
of the calendar year. The net cash outflow from operations of
£5.3m represented an improvement on last year's £22.7m
outflow. This resulted from the first full contribution from
the Misys Sophis acquisition, a greater number of customers
making early maintenance payments than in the prior year, and
lower payables outflows. A share buyback programme was
commenced by the company during the period. By 30 November,
6.1m shares had been purchased in the market, resulting in a
cash outflow of £15.8m. Between 1 December and 25 January a
further 1.4m shares were purchased for £3.3m in aggregate
under an authorisation given to our advisors.
Net debt increased from £94m at the start of the period to
£149m at the end of the period, principally due to capital
expenditure and financing outflows including share buyback
expenditure.
Notes on non-GAAP measures
Order intake Orders exclude maintenance and transaction
processing. For the provision of software and services, order
intake is based on signed contracts or letters of intent
where contracts are substantially finalised.
Adjusted operating results Adjusted results are stated before
exceptional items, losses on embedded derivatives and
amortisation of acquired intangible assets.
The non-exceptional items excluded from adjusted results are
losses on embedded derivatives in Banking of £0.5m (2010/11:
£1.4m) and in TCM of £0.2m (2010/11: £0.2m), and amortisation
of acquired intangible assets in Banking of £0.3m (2010/11:
£0.4m), in TCM of £0.2m (2010/11: £0.3m) and in Sophis of
£17.3m (2010/11: no charge). Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted earnings per share is subject to the adjustments
outlined above for operating results and in addition is
stated before unrealised remeasurement gains or losses on
hedging future operating cash flow currency exposures.
Accordingly, the impact upon earnings per share of these
unrealised gains and losses is adjusted to match with the
period of the cash flows to which the currency exposures
relate.
Pro-forma constant currency results
For comparative purposes, prior year results are adjusted by
the retranslation of results at current year exchange rates
and by the addition of results from Sophis before its
acquisition, at current year exchange rates,
The addition of Sophis increases prior year revenue by £32.7m
and prior year adjusted operating profit by £9.4m.
Retranslation increases prior year revenue by £0.6m (Banking:
£0.7m increase, TCM: £0.2m decrease) and prior year adjusted
operating profit by £1.2m (Banking £0.9m, TCM: £0.2m). These
retranslations remove material currency impacts from
movements in the US dollar, the Euro and the Indian Rupee
against Sterling. Average exchange rates in the first half of
2011/12 were US$1.60, â'Ĵ1.14 and INR75.4 compared to
US$1.55, â'Ĵ1.19 and INR71.2 in 2010/11. Consolidated income

ACCOUNTS 1. Basis of preparation The condensed consolidated
financial statements for the half year ended 30 November 2011
have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and
IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by
the European Union. The accounting policies adopted are
consistent with those of the annual financial statements for
the year ended 31 May 2011, as described in those annual
financial statements, except for taxes on income in the
interim period which, in line with previous half year
reporting periods, are accrued using the tax rate that would
be applicable to expected total earnings for the full
financial year. The IFRIC interpretations, amendments to
existing standards and new standards which became mandatory
for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2011 have
been adopted in the current financial year, but since this
interim report only contains a condensed set of financial
statements, full disclosure will be given in the annual
financial statements for the year ending 31 May 2012 where
the impact is considered material. This half-yearly condensed
consolidated financial report should be read in conjunction
with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31
May 2011 which were prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European
Union. The financial information contained in this interim
report does not comprise statutory accounts within the
meaning of sections 434 - 436 of the UK Companies Act 2006.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2011 were
approved by the Board of Directors on 28 July 2011 and
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors'
report on those statutory accounts was unqualified and did
not contain a statement under section 498 of the Companies
Act 2006. After making enquiries, the Directors have a
reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources
and committed borrowing facilities to continue in operations
for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing its condensed
consolidated financial statements for the half year ended 30
November 2011.
This interim report was approved by the Board of Directors on
25 January 2012. It is unaudited but has been reviewed by the
auditors and their report is attached to this document.
The following IFRIC interpretations and amendments have been
adopted in the unaudited condensed half-yearly financial
statements but neither had any material impact on the Group
results or financial position:
- IFRIC 14 'Prepayments of a minimum funding
requirement'
- IFRIC 19 'Extinguishing financial liabilities with
equity instruments'
2. Segmental analysis
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with
the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker
('CODM'). The CODM has been identified as the Misys
Operations Team, comprising the Group Chief Executive, Chief
Financial Officer and all Executive Vice Presidents. The
Misys Operations Team is responsible for resources allocation
and assessing the performance of the operating segments. The
operating segments are defined by distinctly separate product
offerings or markets. The operating segments consist of
Banking, Treasury & Capital Markets (TCM), Misys Sophis (new
segment after its acquisition from 1 March 2011) and Open
Source. The Corporate and others category includes Open
Source and corporate costs as these operations are not
reportable segments as required to be disclosed under IFRS 8.
Global Services is considered as a horizontal function with
performance assessed by the CODM in each of the defined
operating segments.
Certain costs within the Corporate and others segment are
allocated to the other reportable segments based on revenue.

charge of £3.1m (first half 2010/11: £3.2m) has been
recognised as an exceptional item in relation to costs
incurred in the ongoing Group-wide restructuring and
turnaround programme. The costs comprise severance payments,
retention bonuses and relocation expenses in relation to
development and back office activities. A net credit of £0.2m
(first half 2010/11: credit £1.1m) arose on provisions for
onerous property leases.
(B) Advisory and professional fees related to corporate
activities These principally relate to legal and consulting
fees in respect of significant corporate mergers and
acquisitions projects (first half 2010/11: £nil).
(C) Costs related to the Misys Sophis acquisition These
include post acquisition integration costs of £0.6m and
management retention bonuses of £1.6m agreed as part of the
acquisition. Costs in the first half 2010/11 are related to
initial advisory fees in respect of the acquisition.
(D) Profit on disposal of business A profit of £619.6m was
realised in the comparative period as a result of the sale of
majority stake in Allscripts on 20 August 2010. The profit on
disposal was exempt from tax in the relevant taxing
jurisdiction. In addition, Allscripts incurred £7.9m of
exceptional costs in the period to the date of disposal
relating to the separation from Misys and merger with
Eclipsys. (E) Loss on available for sale assets Following the
disposal of Allscripts in August 2010, there was a further
disposal of 12.5m shares of the residual shareholding in
November 2010. Misys received proceeds of £139.4m which gave
rise to a loss of £1.3m compared to the carrying value
calculated as at August 2010.
An analysis of the above costs by business unit is shown in
note 2.

The Group is subject to structural currency cash flow
imbalances due to the difference in location of its customers
compared with its cost base. Accordingly, the Group has
instigated a policy of managing the resulting exposures by
forward currency contracts matching the most significant
functional currency cash flows on a rolling 12 months basis.
It is not considered practical to apply hedge accounting for
these forward contracts and so the unrealised remeasurement
gains / losses in respect of future periods are taken to the
income statement as shown above. A loss of £ 2.4m (first half
2010/11: gain of £0.4m; year 2010/11: £nil) has arisen
principally due to a weakening of the Indian Rupee against
Sterling during the period.
As these forward contracts mature, the realised loss or gain
is moved to finance costs.
An adjustment is made in respect of the unrealised loss or
gain on hedging of structural currency cash flows in arriving
at adjusted earnings per share (see note 6). 5. Taxation

£2.1m (first half 2010/11: £0.2m) relating to taxation on
exceptional items. First First half half all figures in £
millions 2011/12 2010/11 Total tax (credit) charge Continuing
operations (0.9) 3.9 Discontinued operation - 3.8 (0.9) 7.7
The tax credit for the half year has been calculated using
the tax rates expected to apply for the full year ending 31
May 2012 and includes a £2.1m (first half 2010/2011: £0.3m)
credit on exceptional items. The effective tax rate for the
half year on adjusted operating profit of £30.1m is 22%
(first half 2010/2011: 26%) which approximates to the
forecast full year expected tax rate. The fall of 4% in the
effective tax rate reflects the full year inclusion of the
Sophis business. After adjusting for prior year adjustments
and net financing costs, the effective tax rate reduces to
18.6% (first half 2010/2011: 23.0%). The reduction in the UK
tax rate from 26% to 25% enacted in Finance Act 2011 has
reduced the UK deferred tax asset by £1m of which £0.9m is
charged to the income statement and £0.1m is included in
equity. Further proposed reductions in the UK rate of 1% per
annum to 23% by 1 April 2014 are expected to be enacted which
will reduce the net deferred tax assets by £1.8m with a
decrease in profit of £0.9m in 2013 and 2014.
6. (Loss) earnings per share (unaudited)
Earnings per share ('EPS') have been calculated by
dividing profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the period. Diluted
EPS includes the dilutive effect of outstanding share
options.
Adjusted basic and adjusted diluted EPS are presented to
provide more comparable and representative information on
continuing operations. Accordingly, the adjusted basic and
adjusted diluted EPS figures exclude discontinued operation,
exceptional items, gains and losses on embedded derivatives,
amortisation of acquired intangibles, translation exchange
differences recycled from reserves and unrealised losses /
gains on hedging of future structural currency cash flows.
As disclosed in note 4, unrealised remeasurement gains /
losses on forward contracts taken out to manage structural
functional currency exposures of future periods are
separately identified within finance costs. Given that hedge
accounting is not applied to these contracts, their
remeasurement introduces volatility to the income statement.
Accordingly, the adjusted EPS reflects that these unrealised

This relates to GBP and Euro overdraft facilities. Bank loans
The credit facility is comprised of a £90m term loan and a
£190m multicurrency credit facility. The term loan is
repayable in installments between May 2011 and August 2014.
The revolving facility expires in August 2014. Arrangement
fees of £2.0m paid on drawdown are carried on the balance
sheet. These costs are being amortised over the expected term
of the facility. Interest on these borrowings is payable at
LIBOR plus a variable margin (based on a covenant ratio),
currently 2.0% (first half 2010/11: nil; year 2010/11: 2.0%).
The Group is subject to certain financial covenants under the
term loan and revolving credit facility agreement. These
include a minimum ratio of operating profit, before
depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items to net
interest charged and a maximum ratio of net borrowings to
operating profit, before depreciation, amortisation and
exceptional items. These covenants have not been breached
during the period. Convertible bonds The Company issued 1,000
2.5% convertible bonds at a par value of £100m on 22 November
2010. The bonds mature five years from the issue date at
their nominal value of £100m or can be converted into shares
at the holder's option from the 41st day after the
settlement date until seven days prior to maturity date at
prevailing conversion price. If not previously converted or
redeemed, the bonds will be redeemed at par five years from
the settlement date. The Company will have the option to call
all outstanding bonds from approximately three years after
the settlement date until maturity in the event that the
value of the shares on the London Stock Exchange exceeds 127%
of the principal amount over a certain period. The values of
the liability component and the equity conversion component
were determined at issuance of the bond. The fair value of
the liability component, included in non-current borrowings,
was calculated using a market interest rate for an equivalent
non-convertible bond. The residual amount, representing the
value of the equity conversion option, is included in
shareholders' equity in other reserves. 16. Provisions

(8.0)
Included in non current liabilities (6.2) (12.1) (11.3)
(14.5) (18.9) (19.3)
The property provisions comprise the net present value of the
estimated future costs of vacant and sublet properties of
subsidiaries acquired in previous years. The property
provisions have been reduced in the period ended 30 November
2011 primarily as a result of subleasing of vacant property
space.
Included in other provisions are amounts primarily in respect
of onerous service contracts.
17. Contingent liabilities (unaudited)
Contingent liabilities that are quantifiable arise from
property rental guarantees that have been issued in the
normal course of business, from letters of credit and from
bonds that have been issued in support of tenders submitted
to prospective customers. These amount to £4.1m (first half
2010/11: £3.3m, year 2010/11: £3.2m). The Group's
subsidiaries and the Company can be parties to legal actions
and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Whilst
the outcome of current outstanding actions and claims remains
uncertain, it is expected that they will be resolved without
a material impact to the Group's financial position.
As at 30 November 2011, there was a $45m guarantee in place
relating to potential tax liabilities arising as a result of
the demerger of Allscripts, which Misys would be responsible
for covering if it were to become payable. Since 31 May 2011
there has been no significant change to the underlying
potential tax exposures.
18. Related party transactions (unaudited)
Transactions between Misys plc and its subsidiaries, which
are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation
and are not disclosed in this note.
The key management personnel of the Group comprise the
Company Directors and other senior management. Their
remuneration will be disclosed in the year-end Group
financial statements.
ValueAct Capital has a holding of approximately 21.15 per
cent as at 30 November 2011 (31 May 2011: 20.21 per cent) in
the Company on an aggregated basis. Mr. Ubben, who is a
non-executive Director of the Company, is Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Investment Officer of ValueAct Capital.
19. Risk factors as required by DTR 4.2.7(2)
As with all businesses, the Group is affected by certain
risks, not wholly within our control, which could have a
material impact on the Group's long term performance and
could cause actual results to differ materially from forecast
and historical results. The principal risks and uncertainties
facing the Group were last updated in October 2011. In
summary, these risks involve: economic and market risks (e.g.
related to Eurozone sovereign indebtedness and regulatory
reviews of the Banking sector); product development and
implementation delivery risks; risks related to capturing
planned synergies associated with the recent acquisition of
Misys Sophis; talent management risks; risks related to
protecting our own intellectual property and not infringing
that of others; IT and business continuity risks; and legal
and regulatory compliance risks.
20. Seasonality
The Group's business cycle is such that sales and profits
are typically stronger in the second half of the financial
year. Misys invoices many of its customers for recurring
licence fees at the beginning of the second half of its
financial year resulting in higher cash collection compared
to the fiscal first half. 21. Registered Office
The registered office is One Kingdom Street, Paddington,
London, W2 6BL. The Company is registered and domiciled in
England No. 1360027.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO MISYS PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report for the six months ended 30 November 2011, which
comprises the consolidated income statement, consolidated
balance sheet, consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity,
consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes.
We have read the other information contained in the
half-yearly financial report and considered whether it
contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of
financial statements. Directors' responsibilities The
half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are
responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in
accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority. As
disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the
Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union. The condensed set of consolidated financial
statements included in this half-yearly financial report has
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as
adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility Our
responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on
the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the
half-yearly financial report based on our review. This
report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and
only for the company for the purpose of the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and
for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report,
accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to
any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose
hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior
consent in writing. Scope of review We conducted our review
in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim
Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of
the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for
use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,
applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and
Ireland) 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.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated
financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for
the six months ended 30 November 2011 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and
the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
