Commenting on the interim results Chief Executive Officer, Conor
Foley, said:
"Against a background of very turbulent markets we continue to
make steady progress in the implementation of our long term
strategy. Unsettled conditions in the Euro area and the volatility
in markets that accompanied it delivered a boost to top line
activity but mandated an extremely focussed approach to risk and
exposure.
Our international operations are progressing as anticipated. Our
IT platform and product suite is developing fast and on time with
the recent release on an on-line CFD offering and a mobile
telephony application. Their impact on top and bottom line revenue
should be felt from early in 2012.
We continue to have every confidence that our strategy to
strengthen and broaden the Group's international reach, activities
and infrastructure will bear fruit. We have continued to
demonstrate strong growth in our international markets, most
notably in Europe where the new offices we established last year
have begun to make a meaningful impact in the performance of the
Group. We are excited by our pipeline which includes not only new
partners, both local and international, but also new technology in
the form of our CFD and mobile offerings, and new jurisdictions
such as Israel, where the Company has recently opened a small sales
office which has already started to introduce clients."

Chief Executive Officer's Statement
The Group has traded well in the six months to 30 September
2011. Revenues from continuing operations have increased by 11% to
EUR8.28 million (GBP7.20 million), up from EUR7.44 million (GBP6.47
million) in the comparable period last year. The Group posted a
loss before tax from continuing operations for the period of
EUR0.63 million (GBP0.54 million) compared to a loss before tax of
EUR0.44 million (GBP0.38 million) in the same period last year. The
Group's European operations have performed strongly in the period,
with revenues increasing 22% to EUR3.08 million (GBP2.68 million).
The Group has experienced slower growth in the UK market with net
revenue growth of 2% in the period. This would have been
significantly higher but for the fact that the Company operated a
prudent hedging policy during the period due to the extremely high
levels of volatility in the World's financial markets. Average
trades per day have grown by 22% to 9,612 for the six months to 30
September 2011 and similarly active clients have grown by 40% to
4,916 in the period. As has been the case in prior years, the Board
expects the Group's revenues for the full year to 31 March 2012 to
be weighted towards the second half of the year.
Operating costs for continuing operations increased 6%
year-on-year to EUR6.26 million (GBP5.44 million). This increase is
due to the fact that infrastructure and marketing costs added
during last year were not in place for the full comparable period.
The Group has increased its investment in information technology in
order to ensure that it has competitive platform offerings and a
pipeline of new products and innovations. The Group recently
launched a new CFD platform and a new mobile trading platform, both
of which have yet to contribute to the Group's results. In
addition, significant developments have been rolled out for pricing
and execution technology and we have completed an upgrade of our
spreadbetting platform across our offices making it both more
advanced and easier to use.
The Group has strengthened its back office and compliance
functions in order to ensure that it has the capacity to deal with
the increasing levels of business we are experiencing and continue
to expect to generate. We have invested in client services and
better integrated our sales and marketing operation (UK and
International) in order to benefit from any efficiencies across our
multiple markets. We have also made significant improvements in
risk oversight via improved management information and internal
reporting.
The Group held net cash (excluding monies held on behalf of
clients) of EUR11 million (2010: EUR13 million) at 30 September
2011 and had net assets of EUR21 million (2010: EUR23 million). The
net cash position will be further improved by EUR1.650 million
(GBP1.44 million) with the final payment of the deferred
consideration from the sale of the Irish financial spread betting
division, which is due at the end of December 2011.
Summary and Outlook
The Group has undergone a sea change in its operations and
business over the past 18 months. We have bolstered key areas of
the business through careful investment in people and
infrastructure. We continue to operate in an environment of market
uncertainty and poor visibility. However, this is typically a
trading environment that is beneficial for firms in our sector.
Our expansion opportunities are excellent and we have recently
opened a new sales office in Tel Aviv in Israel. This will be run
in a similar fashion to our other international offices but with
more of a concentration on introducers rather than direct sales and
marketing activities. The initial signs are very positive and,
coupled with our existing business and other pipeline
opportunities, we are confident that the Group will continue to
grow its top line revenues and return to profitability in the near
future.

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATION
At 22 December 2009 the Group entered into a contract, by way of
a management buyout, to sell its Irish financial spread betting
division consisting of one wholly owned subsidiary, WorldSpreads
(Ireland) Limited. Part of the consideration for the sale was by
way of the transfer of 1,885,579 shares in WorldSpreads Group plc
(the "Sale Shares") which had been held by the management team. Due
to an adverse movement in the Group's share price between the prior
year end and the period ended 30 September 2011 the Group has
posted an unrealised loss on the revaluation of these Sale Shares
of EUR221,339. This amount has been disclosed in the income
statement under discontinued operations.
