("Feedback", the "Company" or the "Group")
Interim Report for the six months ended 30 November 2012
KEY POINTS
-- Turnover GBP0.97 million (2011 continuing operations - GBP0.99 million)
-- Loss before tax GBP0.29 million (2011 - Profit before tax GBP0.35 million)
-- Loss per share 0.22p (2011 - Earnings per share 0.30p)
Results for the first half of the year reflect the continuing
challenge of restructuring the Group in tight market conditions
whilst we remain bound by the constraints of the Group's working
capital requirements.
Reducing overheads has been a primary concern and this led to a
significant restructuring during the period under review - hardware
development, production and certain customer support functions have
now all been outsourced.
Against this challenging background, we have had some success
with our strategy of focusing on the two markets that show the
greatest promise and enhancing our hardware products with a more
compelling software proposition through our cloud based Fastlane
platform ("Fastlane"). In our established Access Control market,
our commitment to providing a total service continues to generate
sales and recurring maintenance income. In the Attendance market,
our Nohmad product, now fully integrated with Fastlane, is being
used by customers in the UK, Europe and Australasia and has been
the key to opening new customer relationships.
After a period of considerable change, I'm pleased to report
that current trading is showing signs of stabilising. However, we
recognise the challenges and constraints within which we operate
and we continue to explore all opportunities to maximise
shareholder value and realise our strategic goals.

FEEDBACK PLC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of
International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the
European Union ("IFRS") and expected to be effective at the year
end of 31 May 2013. The accounting policies are unchanged from the
financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2012.
The information set out in this interim report for the six
months ended 30 November 2012 does not comprise statutory accounts
within the meaning of section 434 of The Companies Act 2006. The
results for the period ended 31 May 2012 are based on the published
financial statements for that period on which the auditors gave a
report which did not contain statements under section 498 of the
Companies Act 2006. The financial statements for the period ended
31 May 2012 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
This interim report was approved by the directors on 25 February
2012.
2. GOING CONCERN
The current situation and outlook cast significant doubt on the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on current
plans however, the Directors consider that the Group is a going
concern and have prepared the interim financial statements on a
going concern basis. The interim financial statements therefore do
not include any adjustments that would result if the Group was
unable to continue as a going concern. In the event the Group
ceased to be a going concern, the adjustments would include writing
down the carrying value of assets, including intangible assets and
inventories, to their recoverable amount and providing for any
further liabilities that might arise.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings per share for the six months ended 30 November 2012
is based on the Group loss on ordinary activities after taxation of
GBP298,000 (2011: Profit GBP347,000) attributed to the weighted
average of 130,946,746 Ordinary Shares (2011: 130,946,746), being
the weighted average number of shares in issue
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO FEEDBACK PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the interim financial report for the six
months ended 30 November 2012 which comprises the Consolidated
Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity,
the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow
Statement and the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Report. We have
read the other information contained in the interim financial
report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in
the condensed set of financial statements.
This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and
only for the Company for the purpose of meeting the requirements of
the AIM Rules for Companies and for no other purpose. We do not,
therefore, 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.
Directors' Responsibilities
The interim financial report, is the responsibility of, and has
been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for
preparing and presenting the interim financial report in accordance
with the AIM Rules for Companies.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the
Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") pronouncements as adopted by
the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements
included in this interim financial report has been prepared in
accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of
International Financial Reporting Standards and International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC")
pronouncements, as adopted by the European Union.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial
report based on our review.
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, and 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.
Emphasis of matter - Going concern
In forming our opinion, which is not modified, we have
considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 2 to the
interim financial statements concerning the Group and company's
ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions, along
with the loss incurred in the period to date indicate the existence
of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about
the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The interim financial statements do not include the adjustments
that would result if the Group and Company were unable to continue
as a going concern.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the interim financial report for the six months ended 30
November 2012 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of
International Financial Reporting Standards and International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC")
pronouncements as adopted by the European Union, and the AIM Rules
for Companies.
