The result associates of 2.8 million in H1 2013 included a one off gain of 2.5 million as the result of the remeasurement of the carrying value of our previously held interest in the associate mapIT to its fair value when we acquired the remaining 51% interest.
Income taxes
The net income tax charge in all the jurisdictions in which we operate was 1.4 million in H1 2013, a decrease compared to last year (H1 2012: 2.2 million). The effective tax rate in H1 2013 was 20.0% compared to 22.8% in H1 2012.
Cash flow
The cash flow generated from operations was 55 million versus 35 million in the same period last year. The increase in cash flow was driven by reduced working capital utilisation. Interest paid decreased year on year to 1.5 million in H1 2013 compared to 4.7 million in H1 2012. We received a net corporate income tax refund of 84 million in H1 2013 mainly relating to the refund from a settlement of prior years tax discussions as disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report.
The cash flow used in investing activities was 45 million, an increase of 21 million from 24 million in the same period last year mainly due to larger investments in R&D related projects, the acquisition of technology assets in the fitness space, as well as the remaining equity interest in mapIT.
