Ian Bowles, Chief Executive Officer of Allocate commented: "I am very pleased with the performance of Allocate in this half year. We have added good numbers of new customers and a number of our NHS customers extended their contracts. Our customer installed base continues to grow in the UK as well as overseas with a further win in Malaysia and our second Healthroster win in the USA.

"The government restructuring of the NHS and, in particular, the abolition of the PCTs has had an impact on Dynamic Change but less so on our mainstream Healthroster business, as evidenced by the number of new accounts won and the contract extensions. Notwithstanding the macro level slowdown in government spending and the NHS restructuring, we remain on track for our full year revenue and profit targets."

The Company's results for the half year will be released at the end of January 2011.
