REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007


In the year to 31 December 2007 Group revenue rose to £1,812,000 up from £1,029,000 in 2006. Excluding the contribution from Information Exchange Limited ('IXL') which was sold in October 2007 the comparable figures are £1,416,000 and £407,000 respectively. The current operating subsidiaries, Falcon Securities (UK) Ltd ('Falcon') and Montague Pitman Stockbrokers Ltd ('MPS'), both traded profitably. Overall Group operating profits (excluding exceptional items) was £64,000 (including a contribution of £85,000 from IXL to date of disposal) which compares to an operating loss of £136,000 in 2006. On a Group basis the disposal of IXL realised a loss of £390,000 which has been shown in the Accounts as an exceptional item and is reflected in the Loss before Tax for the Group of £326,000.


As reported Alltrue sold its wholly owned subsidiary IXL back to the original vendors in exchange for their interest in Rubi Ltd, a special purpose vehicle that holds 50m Alltrue ordinary shares, being the original consideration paid by Alltrue for the acquisition of IXL, together with arrangements for the repayment by IXL of inter-company debt due to Alltrue amounting to £240,000. The commercial and business development performance of IXL did not ultimately meet the Board's initial expectations and it was felt that the IXL brand would be better able to develop outside the Alltrue Group. Nevertheless both companies have agreed to continue to work together to exploit the synergies already identified including participation by MPS at future IXL investor events. As a result of this transaction Simon Campbell and Alpesh Patel ceased to have any interest in Alltrue's ordinary shares and resigned as directors of Alltrue. More recently Mr Patel has been appointed a director of MPS.


With regard to the continuing operations, turnover within Falcon increased significantly largely as a reflection of activity through MPS under the Appointed Representative arrangements. Falcon recorded an operating profit of £85,970 (2006 £83,428). Activity in stockbroking services within both the cash market and through the third party spread betting services to Falcon's underlying high net worth and professional clients picked up in the early part of the second half of the year but again tailed off towards the close reflecting much more difficult general market conditions. Corporate broking fees were lower reflecting the downturn in corporate transactions. Retainer fees were also lower as a number of clients are investment vehicles whose shares were either suspended from trading or had their listing cancelled on AIM following changes to LSE rules in 2006.


The Board considers the performance of MPS was very creditable in what was a 'start up' year. The Appointed Representative arrangements came into force in March 2007 and despite significant expenditure to help establish its brand in the retail client sector MPS recorded an operating profit before tax of £38,708. MPS now has an established customer base to which it offers a range of advisory services both in small capitalisation and main market listed securities. The company also provides CFD trading services to more sophisticated retail clients and is now in a position to incorporate advice and dealing in ISA held securities and more recently has introduced an 'on line' white labelled spread betting capability through a recognised third party supplier.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007





This has been a year of establishing two complementary stockbroking businesses and given the economic climate the Board is very satisfied to be reporting a profit, on the operating level at least, and believes that given the momentum of each business the Group will be well placed to take advantage when market volumes and activity return to normal levels. I look forward to reporting further progress to you in the future.

Share capital (deferred and ordinary) is the amount subscribed for shares at nominal value.


Share premium represents the excess of the amount subscribed for share capital over the nominal value of the respective shares net of share issue expenses. 


Retained loss represents the cumulative loss of the Group attributable to equity shareholders. The balances as at 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2006 have already been restated as a result of the transition to IFRS. Refer to note 30 for details. 


Other reserves relate to the issue of new shares to fund the acquisition of Information Exchange Ltd and Falcon Securities Holdings Ltd was effected by a share for share exchange. This utilised merger relief provisions under section 131 of the Companies Act 1985, resulting in credit to the merger reserve of £1,350,000.

Basic and diluted loss per share

 

 


The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit before exceptional costs of £64,000 and loss after exceptional costs of £330,000 (2006 - both: £114,000) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, which is 244,167,500 (2006: 231,427,774). 


The diluted loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares adjusted to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. For the year ended 31 December 2007, the diluted loss per share is equivalent to the basic loss per share.

The diluted loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares adjusted to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which is 244,167,500 (2006: 231,427,774. Therefore for the period ended 31 December 2007, the diluted loss per share is equivalent to the basis loss per share.

Intangible Assets (continued…)


The group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, by considering the net present value of discounted cash flows forecasts. If an indication exists an impairment review is carried out. At the period end, there was no indication of impairment of the value of goodwill or of development costs


The directors have also concluded that no amortisation of goodwill is necessary, because its value has been actively maintained since it was acquired.

    

The development and website intangibles are internally generated.

    The company owns 100% of Falcon Securities Holdings Limited, an investment company, which in turn owns 100% of Falcon Securities (UK) Limited, a stockbroker. During the year the company acquired 81.1% of Montague Pitman Stockbrokers Limited, providers of corporate financial services and stock-broking. All these companies are registered in England.


    Minority shareholders of Montague Pitman Stockbrokers Limited have options to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the company should they meet their performance targets, up to reducing the holding of Alltrue Investments Plc to 51%.


    During the year the company sold its 100% subsidiary Information Exchange Limited, to that company's directors, in exchange for their holdings in Rubi Limited totalling 50,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each in Alltrue Investments Limited, valued for the purposes of the transaction at £175,000 - see above. The loss on disposal has been expensed through the profit and loss account at an exceptional cost (see note 8 above).


    In the opinion of the directors, the aggregate value of the company's investment in subsidiary undertakings is not less than the amount included in balance sheet.

    The convertible loan notes were issued on 16th February 2007 with a redemption date of 31 January 2012. The loan notes are convertible into 1 Ordinary share of 1p each for every £6 of loan notes. At 31 December 2007 there remained £150,000 of loan notes outstanding. The company accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the investment date of 16 February 2007 until the date on which the convertible notes are converted or up to the redemption date.


    The Company also has £100,000 of secured loan that is not convertible. This loan is acquiring interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the investment date, 16 February 2007, until either the convertible loan notes above are converted or two years from the investment date, whichever is the later. Subsequently the secured loan will accrue interest at 4% per annum until the redemption date of 31 January 2012.


    Both the secured and convertible loans are secured by a debenture containing fixed and floating charges over the assets of the company. All payments of interest and repayment of the secured loan will become payable when the company has sufficient available cash after providing for its working capital requirements as determined by Alltrue Investments Plc, the Investor and the Executive Directors from time to time.

29.  Financial Instruments





The objectives, policies and strategies applied by the group with respect to financial instruments are determined at a group level. The group's principal financial instruments are cash and its bank loans and overdraft facilities.





The group adopts a conservative policy towards the management of its cash and has not engaged in any speculative trades. The group has no derivative instruments or hedging transactions. The group has other financial instruments such as trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations.


The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities of the group and the company at the balance sheet date approximated their fair values.


The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables/payables, and borrowings approximate fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of these financial instruments.

Transition to IFRS


Introduction


Alltrue Investments PLC has previously prepared its consolidated Financial Statements under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP). With effect from 1 January 2007, it is required to prepare its consolidated Financial Statements in accordance within International Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.


The accounting policies set out in Note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006 and in the preparation of the opening IFRS balance sheet at 1 January 2006. (transition date).


The IFRS transition statement has been prepared to explain the impact on the reported result of Alltrue Investments Plc and to set out the changes to the accounting policies of the group together with provision of reconciliations of the restatement of previously published comparative financial information.


References to IFRS throughout this document refer to the application of International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.


Overview of impact of adoption of IFRS


Conversion to IFRS affect Alltrue Investments PLC's reporting particularly in respect of intangible assets and capitalised development expenditure. It does not affect the cash flows or the underlying prospects of the business; however, the implementation of the new standards may result in increased volatility in reported result due to changes in accounting for intangible asset.



Revised Group Accounting policies under IFRS.


The following accounting policies represent changes from the accounting policies stated in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006. The remaining accounting policies remain the same as in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006 which are consistent with IFRS. All business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Goodwill represents amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiary undertakings. Goodwill is now stated at cost or deemed cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
