Independent Auditor's Review Report
to the members of eServGlobal Limited
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of eServGlobal
Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial
position as at 31 December 2009, and the condensed consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the
condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on
that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration of the
consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the
end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on
pages 7 to 15.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair
presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and
the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and
maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting
policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the
circumstances.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report
based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing
Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial
Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state
whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any
matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair
view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2009 and
its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with
Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations
Regulations 2001. As the auditor of eServGlobal Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that
we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual
financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report 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 Australian Auditing Standards 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.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
Auditor's Independence Declaration
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any
matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of eServGlobal
Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position
as at 31 December 2009 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that
date; and
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and
the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial
Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International
Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year
financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an
annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent
annual financial report.
Basis of preparation
The condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical
cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial
instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in
exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.
The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/010,
dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the
directors' report and the half-year financial report are rounded off the nearest
thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of
the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed
in the company's 2009 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30
June 2009, unless otherwise stated.
Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards
The company has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretation
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its
operations and effective for the current reporting period.
The adoption of these new and revised standards and interpretations has resulted
in changes to the presentation of the half year financial statements in the
following areas:
(i) Revised AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB2007-8:
Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB101 (effective from 1 January
2009).
The September 2007 revised AASB 101 required the presentation of a statement of
comprehensive income and makes changes to the statement of changes in equity,
but has not affected any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Comparative balances in the condensed statement of comprehensive income
In the prior period, certain Administrative Expenses incurred were allocated to
Cost of Sales and Selling and Marketing Expenses which were not allocated in the
current period. The comparative balances have been reclassified to conform with
the current period's presentation which resulted in the reduction in the
comparative period's Cost of Sales by $2,191,000 and Sales & Marketing by
$255,000 and the increase in the comparative period's Administrative Expenses by
$2,416,000.

6. Segment Information
The Group has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 with effect from 1 January
2009. AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of
internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by
the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in order to allocate resources to the
segment and to assess its performance. In contrast, the predecessor Standard
(AASB 114 Segment Reporting) required an entity to identify two sets of segments
(business and geographical), using a risks and rewards approach, with the
entitys "system of internal financial reporting to key management personnel"
serving only as the starting point for the identification of such segments.
The Group operates in a single segment being the telecommunications software
solutions business.
7. Issuances, repurchases and repayment of securities
During the half-year, the company did not issue any shares.
During the half-year ended 31 December 2008, the company issued 1,026,000
ordinary shares for $294,000 on exercise of 1,026,000 share options issued under
its executive and employee share option plans. As a result of this share issue,
$123,000 was transferred from the equity-settled employee benefits reserve to
issued capital. There were no other movements in the ordinary share capital or
other issued share capital of the company in the prior comparative half-year.
The company did not issue share options over ordinary shares under its executive
and employee share option plan during the half-year reporting period (6 months
to 31 December 2008: nil).
8. Facilities
Subsequent to balance date, the company renewed its $5 million bank bill
facility to 30 June 2010. The facility is subject to a range of covenants and
provisions.
