“The Company has made great progress in the year and is now well positioned, profitable and cash generative. Despite the substantial improvements during this period, we believe that opportunities exist to advance the business performance further in the coming year. We enter the current financial year with a strong sales pipeline, leading-edge products, a strengthened management team, an appropriately structured cost base and a strong balance sheet.

“The Company has evolved to a profitable position based on a leading product portfolio in a market with an ever greater need to buy regulatory or risk management products. As a result of our disciplined product development strategy and a clear focus on the needs of our customers, our business continues to develop strongly.

“Looking ahead we will continue to expand our core businesses – Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management in the financial services market – by improved product functionality, smarter technology solutions and increased geographic reach. The aim of this strategy is to deliver significant and sustainable turnover and earnings growth over the next five years. It is anticipated that this will lead to a positive return to the Company’s investors via both dividend income and capital growth.

Notes

1.The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company’s statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.  The figures for the year ended 31 March 2011 are based on unaudited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2011.  The directors anticipate that the auditor’s report, to be issued with the Group’s statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2011, will be unqualified.

The unaudited preliminary announcement has been prepared on the basis of accounting policies set out in the Group’s statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2010.

The comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2010 are derived from the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2010.  These statutory accounts, which contain an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 and which did not make any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the registrar of companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

2.The Company will announce its full audited financial statements and accompanying notes later in May 2011 together with a Chairman’s statement and detailed report from the CEO.

3.The Company’s accounting policy in respect of deferred tax states:

“Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. Deferred tax is generally provided on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the Group are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, with no discounting. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the underlying deductible temporary differences will be able to be offset against future taxable income. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the Statement of comprehensive income, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity (such as the revaluation of land) in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.”

In view of the cumulative tax losses of the Company, the improved performance of the Company in the year ended 31 March 2011 and the anticipated sustainability of profitable results against which the tax losses can be offset, the Company has recognised tax assets totalling £721,500 in line with the above accounting policy.  The resulting tax credit has been recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
