Neil Murphy, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), commented: “We continue to build positive
momentum in our business as we further invest in new talent and maintain our focus on customer
service. The last year has seen Bytes continuing to strengthen its market position in cloud, security and
annuity software and services, working with some of the world’s most successful software
companies. We are making good progress with our strategy and are well positioned to deliver on the
significant opportunity ahead of us.”
