Overview
I am delighted to report an exceptional set of results, which indicates the
success of 1pm's restructuring under new management in tandem with the Company's
revised focus on the small ticket leasing market.
The Company has delivered a significant turnaround performance moving from an
operating loss of �217,036 for the year ended 31 May 2007 to delivering an
operating profit of �86,061 for the year ended 31 May 2008. Whilst the Board
has provided strong and clear leadership and direction, the successful
turnaround has been achieved due to the stability, conscientiousness and
dedicated operations team led by Maria Hampton.
During October 2007 the Company raised �675,000 via a placing, with the Board
investing heavily to the extent of almost 50% of total monies raised. This
demonstrated our confidence both in our strategy for growth as well as the
potential of our target market. In addition, it sent out a strong message to
our funding partners, which has been very beneficial in terms of their ongoing
support.
Testimony to this is the fact that we now have facilities in place, via four
major funding partners, of over �3.5 million as opposed to just �750,000 for the
previous comparable period. We recently announced, post period end, the
securing of �900,000 of funding bringing a total of �1.65 million of new debt
finance being raised over the last three months.
1pm now has the capability to significantly scale up its business, secure new
clients and in turn drive growth and profitability.
Indicative of this success is the fact that new business volumes increased by
53.7 % during the year ended 31 May 2008 compared to the year ended 31 May 2007.
I expect this momentum to continue due to significant opportunities in our
target market to provide funding to well established, small businesses with
proven payment histories.
Business turnaround
The turnaround in the business has been achieved by the new management team's
action of withdrawing from the sub-prime market, terminating all aligned broker
relationships and the subsequent appointment of thirty new brokers personally
known to the management team. In addition, the appointments of Rod Channon as
Finance Director and Paul Connell as non-executive director, both of whom have a
strong leasing background, have strengthened the Board.
Operational controls
Further to our financial restructuring, Maria Hampton, Operations Director, was
appointed to the Board during the year and introduced an effective collection
policy, which has been strengthened by the appointment of two specialist
lawyers. These actions have resulted in the recovery of �583,000 during the
period under review (this is compared to �413,000, for the respective period in
2007). In addition, our arrears' position is currently running at 1%, which is
well below the market target of 3%. This is a key factor in the improved
performance of the Company, and the Directors anticipate this will continue
going forward. Maria Hampton also implemented the introduction of a new
underwriting policy designed specifically to exclude any form of adverse credit
and which is contributing significantly to the strong performance of the
Company.
These fundamental changes that underpin our business model have created a secure
operating platform that will enable the Group to take full advantage of its
emerging position within the small ticket-leasing environment.
On behalf of the Board I would like to express my sincere thanks to our loyal
and dedicated staff for their hard work and commitment during the year.
Outlook
We now have a well-established, multi-talented team in place, underpinned by
strong administrative and operational support. With increasing funding lines in
place, we are now in a position to capitalise on the significant opportunities
that exist in our core market.
In my previous Chairman's statement, I referred to a "New Start"; I believe that
this is well and truly underway. I expect further success in the current year as
we continue to grow our market share by offering "Simple Finance For Smart
Business".
I look forward to reporting further progress in due course.

NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2008
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute the company's statutory
accounts. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2008 will be delivered to shareholders and to
the Registrar of Companies in the week commencing 30 June 2008 and will be available on the Company's
website (www.1pm.co.uk). The report of the auditors on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31
December 2007 was unqualified and did not contain a reference to any matters which the auditor drew
attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under
section 498 (2) or section 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Adoption of new and revised standards
The financial statements have adopted the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards
and International Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU (collectively IFRSs') for the first time in
these consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2008. Transitional disclosures from
United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice to IFRS are provided in note 12.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and with the Companies Act 1985.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to May each year. Control is achieved where the
Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain
benefit from its activities.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
Leased assets and turnover
Assets leased to customers on finance leases are recognised in the Balance Sheet and present them as a
receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Receipts from finance lease contracts
contain a capital element which reduces the debtor and an interest charge which is credited to revenue
using the "rule of 78". In addition 5% of total interest charges are credited to revenue in the year of
inception of each lease to cover initial administration costs.
All turnover arose within the UK.
