Royalblue Group PLC
23 June 2003


royalblue, the leading supplier of global financial trading software, notes the
announcement released earlier today by Lava Trading Inc. that it has filed a
patent infringement claim in the United States in respect of the business
process of ECN consolidation. The patent relates to the concept of displaying
prices from more than one source (ECN) on a single screen. Accordingly, this is
only relevant to a small element of the royalblue product suite.

royalblue, having taken legal advice, believes that the lawsuit is without merit
and will be defending it vigorously.
