Preliminary Results and Proposed De-listing from AIM
Preliminary Final Results for the year ended 30 June 2008
IT&e Limited (ASX code: ITE, AIM: ITEL, "the Company") today released its preliminary final results for the year ended 30 June 2008.
The Company will release its financial report prior to 30 September 2008.
In releasing the result the Chairman, Ellis Bugg, said that the Board was disappointed to have to again report the Company was in an
operating loss position. He noted however that despite the disappointing financial result, the RAZOR product is now implemented or being
implemented in eight financial institutions and three exchanges around the world which gives the Board confidence in the future prospects
for the Company.
Business highlights of the year
* Two new sales of RAZOR's Clearing House Risk Management System to LCH.Clearnet Group and a new US Clearing Organisation were
secured. These sales, combined with the RAZOR solution provided for the Australian Stock Exchange, place the Company in a good position in
the Central Counter-Party management market.
* Selection by Calyon New York - RAZOR selected to support the requirements of the Bank's regulated AAA derivatives trading
program.
* Sale to a major UK financial institution of a RAZOR solution for management of economic capital.
* Three successful implementation of RAZOR solutions:
* * Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) - global rollout of RAZOR Credit Risk and Economic Capital modules. RBC can now use RAZOR to
obtain a more accurate view of credit exposure and limit utilization across its trading business.
* Man Group plc - implemented RAZOR's Economic Capital module.
* Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh - implemented RAZOR Credit Risk & Limit Management modules.
Factors impacting the loss
* Delays in sales due to the difficult banking environment
* The deferral of revenue recognition (in accordance with AASB 118) of the sign-on portion (USD$1m) of a Razor product license that
was invoiced and paid prior to 30 June 2008
* Mutually agreed termination of a major joint development project as announced on 30 April 2008
* The resultant decrease in the discounted cash flow value of the NextSet/PTX asset requiring an impairment write-off

Outlook for the future
Mr Bugg noted that the Company has affirmed that it should maintain its primary focus on the RAZOR product as it offers the greatest
source of upside for stakeholders given its growing global reputation and client base and that should an opportunity emerge to sell
non-strategic assets at an appropriate price this would be embraced.
He also advised that the organisation's cost structure had already been scaled back by approximately $2.5m through reduced headcount and
a tight control over all discretionary expenditure, and that the Board intends to seek shareholder approval at the annual general meeting to
de-list from the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
The Board, he confirmed, is committed to continuing to take steps needed to improve the financial performance of the Company and will
further restructure the business as appropriate to better align future revenue and expenses.

Brief explanation of Revenue and Net Profit
Revenue showed some improvement from F07 due to four new sales of RAZOR and three successful implementations but was lower than expected
primarily as a consequence of:
* Delays in sales due to the difficult banking environment
* Deferral of recognition of the sign-on portion (US$1m) of a RAZOR product licence that was invoiced and paid prior to 30 June 2008
but will be recognised over several years in accordance with AASB 118 Revenue
* The mutually agreed termination of a major joint NextSet/PTX development project as announced on 30 April 2008
* Lower services revenue reflecting a growing focus on the RAZOR product and related implementations.
Operating loss before Goodwill Impairment was 23% lower than F07 primarily as a consequence of increased Razor product revenue.
The significant loss was primarily due to revenues being lower than expected as explained above.
Operating result including goodwill impairment was a loss higher than F07 as a consequence of the issues explained above and a
NextSet/PTX goodwill impairment write-off of $1,391k following the termination of the NextSet/PTX major joint development project noted
above.
