Interim Results

Enition PLC 15 September 2004 ENITION PLC INTERIM REPORT 2004 CHAIRMAN'S AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT Introduction We are pleased to present your Company's first report to shareholders since its admission to AIM on 19 January 2004 following the acquisition of CDE Solutions Limited ('CDE') and its parent company, Law 2407 Limited. The results cover the period from incorporation on 6 July 2003 to 30 June 2004, although the results of the acquired companies are only included from the date of their acquisition. CDE's Real Enterprise Solution ('RESolution') technology provides an enterprise-wide platform for data consolidation and reporting that helps clients manage every aspect of compliance from information integration and process deployment to reporting and policy enforcement. RESolution's innovative metadata map, together with an intuitive drag and drop interface, lets business analysts quickly and easily connect data stored in silos (e.g. central databases, local spreadsheets and department application files) and create common processes and business rules that can be federated across the enterprise. RESolution has recently been enhanced to support the XBRL standard, which has helped to differentiate the product from competitors and has generated significant interest from the finance sector. The difficulty remains the initial significant entry into the market. Results The loss on ordinary activities for the period 6 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 amounted to £1,111,000 which is stated after a goodwill amortisation charge of £262,000. The loss per share is 1.0p and no dividend is recommended. Outlook During the period since flotation, CDE has focused its efforts on attempting to raise product awareness and generating sales leads with potential customers. One of these leads, Shimadzu, has already closed. The prospect for sales of RESolution software, however, remains uncertain. Cash flow continues to be of critical importance and the Board is continually monitoring the working capital requirements of the Group in the run up to obtaining some significant sales orders. The Board has already undertaken a cost cutting exercise and we are currently directing all marketing efforts into those sectors which are perceived as being most likely to generate sales income for the Group using the proceeds of the £350,000 fund raising announced on 9 August 2004.
