Market conditions during FY2014 again remained challenging across all industry sectors. In particular, there
continues to be a large number of project deferrals and delays by customers in all sectors. Despite this an improved performance in the second half of FY2014 across most key metrics was achieved.
It is pleasing to note that, outside of NSW and ACT (which again have been impacted by reduced Federal Government spending), operating performance has shown solid organic sales and revenue growth which has resulted in overall revenue growth in FY2014 over the pcp. Once again production effort has grown year on year and was 11% over the pcp, reflecting an overall increase in market share.
The long term investment in the off shore facility in Hyderabad, India is again making a significant contribution to the Company's performance and strategic positioning, with that facility's share of total production being over 26% (pcp 20%). The Company's ability to meet reduced price expectations from customers has enabled the maintenance and improvement of market share in a number of sectors.
Investment in the generation of Non‐Person based Revenue (NPR), including Oakton Applications as a service and other "cloud" related service integration models has enabled a significant increase in revenue from these sources.
The Company's strategic positioning is now generating larger engagements with longer term annuity revenue streams and has resulted in a record sales year of $200m (up 20% on the pcp) which comprise revenue relating to both the current and future years. Reflecting this, the level of booked and committed revenue into the next financial year is well ahead of last year's level. Backlog into the following financial years is also significantly up on the pcp. Cash flow improved in the second half with first half cash flow impacted by timing of milestone payments on some engagements.
The Company continues to invest in the business to ensure the service offering remains relevant to rapidly changing industry directions and customers' evolving requirements. The mature off shore capability, deep specialisation and project/managed service engagement approach is now enabling a shift to a service integration and application delivery 'as a service' business model. This is becoming increasingly important as many cloud based business and technology services emerge and require careful integration and operation.

3. Subsequent events

As outlined in the market release of 12 August 2014, the Company announced a recommended cash offer from Dimension Data

Australia Pty Limited of $1.90 per share for 100% of Oakton. Key aspects of this are:

Scheme Implementation Deed entered into with Dimension Data Australia.

Oakton shareholders to receive $1.90 cash per share subject to Oakton shareholder approval, court approval and all other conditions being satisfied or waived.

The offer price represents an attractive premium of:

o 29.7% to last close on 11 August 2014;

o 35.5% to 1 month volume weighted average price ("VWAP"); and

o 42.6% to 3 month VWAP

The Board of Oakton unanimously recommends that all Oakton shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an Independent Expert opining that the Scheme is in the best interests of Oakton shareholders.

Subject to the same qualifications, the Executive Chairman and CEO, representing 11.3% of the total shares outstanding, intend to vote all of their Oakton shares in favour of the Scheme.

The FY2014 final dividend of $0.04 per share will be paid irrespective of the outcome of the Scheme.

If the Scheme is approved and implemented, the $1.90 cash amount per share will not be reduced as a result of the declaration and payment of the FY2014 final dividend of $0.04 per share.

The Scheme process is now underway and is expected to be implemented in November 2014.
