Chairman's statement
Financial and operational review
cScape Group made a pre tax profit of GBP65,000 in the first six
months of 2010/11. Both cScape Strategic Internet Services (CSIS)
and Blue Sky Hosting contributed to the profit, combined with a
benefit from further reductions in central costs.
Blue Sky Hosting maintained its client base and revenues and
continues to deliver a consistent profit stream. Blue Sky Hosting
is repositioning itself to take advantage of the quickening pace of
cloud hosting opportunities.
CSIS continues to win new business through its expertise in
SharePoint development. In addition, CSIS delivered its first major
project using the web content management product SDL Tridion to its
long standing customer, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and
Development (CIPD). CSIS added two new blue chip clients to its
roster in this period, Deutsche Bank and Toshiba.
Outlook
While we expect Blue Sky Hosting to continue to deliver positive
results in the second half of the financial year, the prospect for
the CSIS side of the business is more challenging. The early part
of 2011 has seen a decline in demand for services in all sectors as
uncertainty has come to dominate the client outlook. Clients are
generally very cautious about spending, leading to a reduction in
the value of individual projects and also a stretching out of the
sales cycle. However, we remain confident in the long term
prospects for CSIS.
