AGM Statement

The Board of London Capital Group Holdings plc ("the Group"), the financial services and online spread betting and CFD company, is pleased to report that key performance indicators for the first four months of the year are stable. Client acquisition is currently 9 per cent higher on the same period last year and client funds on deposit stand at GBP47.7m.

Although our KPIs have been stable, lower volatility compared to the same period last year has meant that revenues have been more volume driven than directional and as such the revenue generated by client activity has reduced versus the same period last year. However, the Board is focused on ensuring the Group's cost base remains low whilst maintaining sufficient flexibility to progress its growth strategy. The Group is well capitalised, with significant cash resources.

Although our business is one which has little predictability of future earnings the Board is confident that the KPIs demonstrated to date mean that the Group is well placed to capitalise upon greater volatility when it returns to the market and accordingly, the Board looks forward to the remainder of the year with confidence.
