Julian Burney, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We  have  made considerable advances in all aspects of our business during 2005, which are reflected
in  our  profit  before impairment and goodwill but not yet reflected in reported turnover.  However,
attention  to  cost control and cost efficiencies has enabled  us  to report an increase  of  88%  in
profit  before tax and impairment  and  goodwill and an increase of 94% in earnings per share  before
impairment.

"During  the  year  we  upgraded our specialist hedge fund services which ,together  with  favourable
regulatory  change, gives us great confidence in our professional consultancy. We  have  capacity  to
expand this business without significant additional cost. Our institutional services team is maturing
nicely; our analytical expertise and client relationships are now more widely distributed within  our
business than at any other time.

"We  have  also been greatly encouraged by the growth in numbers of subscribers for our wider  market
services  and  in the revenues arising from our business-to-business relationships with  third  party
stockbrokers for whom we contribute an integral component of their own research.

"Our  technology business, Ecube, is building very good foundations in the financial services  sector
combining bespoke functionality with Stockcube's technical research and analysis."
