Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2005
On-line today announces unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31
December 2005.
Chairman's Statement
You will notice that our results for this period are shown for the Company only
whereas the comparative figures were consolidated for the Group. This change is
due to accounting requirements as we no longer have any operating subsidiaries
with all of our investments now being either associates or trade investments.
The past 12 months have been quiet for the Company as we continue, as in
previous years, to work with our investments, which have been developing apace.
ADVFN PLC
ADVFN has continued to build and invest in its future and has achieved a 37%
increase in users and a 21% increase in turnover. ADVFN has been working on
non-English versions of the site during the past 12 months and has built a new
ADVFN French site and an Italian site. It also has a Japanese, Brazilian and
German site in test. The year has also seen the creation of ADVFN Japan - a
Joint Venture based in Tokyo. This Joint Venture raised $5M in the local market
to allow it to develop a Japanese site.
Since the period-end it announced the purchase of Equity Development Ltd which
is a valuable addition to the group. Equity Development produces high quality
sponsored research, which is used and very well respected throughout the UK
financial sector.
ALL IPO PLC
ALL IPO has developed and achieved FSA approval for the ALL IPO system and has
made its first IPOs available to the public. ALL IPO is a simple idea, which
enables investors to take part in IPOs that, in the past, they would have been
excluded from. We know there are many investors that would love the opportunity
to invest in good companies if only they had access. ALL IPO simply allows this
to happen via the internet; a digital distribution platform bringing investors
and companies seeking investment together.
I look forward to another year of working closely with our investments and
helping them to fulfil their potential.
