Lombard Risk Management plc, one of
the fastest growing companies in the rapidly expanding area
of software and independent valuation for the financial sector,
announces an update on contracts won in addition to those
announced on 28th July 2006.
Colline Collateral Management Software
The Group has won two contracts for its collateral management
software Colline:
1) A major Austrian banking group
The first Colline contract, worth in excess of GBP100,000,
is with a major banking group in Austria.
2) A major UK energy supplier
The other contract provides Colline software as a service
(an ASP solution) for the trading arm of a large UK energy
supplier.
Furthermore, the Group is close to finalising
a number of other deals for Colline.
Demand for collateral management software
is being driven by a number of factors, but principally the
expansion in the use of collateral in derivative markets.
This is mainly due to the wish to reduce credit risk in financial
markets and free up credit lines, which in turn is linked
to Basel II. Colline's first-to-market web based technology
and the Group's team of ex collateral management practitioners
are among the reasons why Colline is being selected as a system
of choice.
STB-Reporter and Winterflood
In addition, the Group has won a contract worth in excess
of GBP100,000 for the STB-Reporter regulatory reporting product
from Winterflood Securities Limited ("Winterflood"), the predominant
UK market making firm. STB-Reporter enables Winterflood to
meet its obligations for UK regulatory reporting under the
FSA's BIPRU rules. BIPRU, the Prudential Sourcebook for banks,
building societies and investment firms, is the set of regulations
which implements the EU Capital Requirements Directive in
the UK. The Directive applies to many other investment firms.
Our contract win with Winterflood follows on from a contract
we won with Charles Stanley for the same purpose. Other similar
deals are close to being finalised which implement both Basel
II reporting and the FSA's Integrated Regulatory Reporting
requirements in this area.
Our Position in the Financial Services

the market leader in the U.K. Bank Regulatory Reporting market
with over 140 out of 350 banks in the U.K. and several investment

Most of the revenue from these deals will be recognised in
the second half of this financial year.
