Earnings before tax, depreciation and amortisation were £1,060,000 compared with £787,000 in the previous year, an increase of 35%. This is the first year that EBITDA has exceeded £1.0 million. Pre-tax profits for the year were £811,000 compared with £577,000 in the previous year, an increase of over 40%. Earnings per share increased by 39% from 3.3p to 4.6p. In the light of the continued growth in the profitability of the Company and the strong cash flow the Board is recommending a dividend for the year of 1.46p. This dividend will be covered 3.2 times by earnings. The Company has to date only paid a final dividend but your Board intends to review its dividend policy at the time the results for the six months figures for the period ending 31st August 2005 are announced. In my interim statement I referred to the upturn in business in our Capital Markets activity. This has continued in the second half of the year and a major contract was signed earlier this year with EDS for work on behalf of a major bank in London. The impact of this contract on profits will not be felt until the second half of the current financial year. The sales and support for Kx database technology is a significant part of our business. In the past six months staffing levels in the New York office have been increased to cater for the enhanced level of activity and since the financial year end an experienced executive has been appointed to head up the North American Business Development Team. This appointment is expected to generate Capital Markets business in addition to Kx business. A new partnership with Kx was signed in April on enhanced terms and the sale of Kx products is continuing at a very satisfactory level and there is a healthy pipeline of prospective sales. The Company continues to benefit from its relationship with Kx and in the past six months the Company has signed consultancy agreements with more than 10 Kx customers with a total value in excess of £1 million (a number of which are on a rolling basis). During the year the e-Business activity has continued at a low level and overheads in this area have been reduced to a minimum. There has been a recent upturn in e-Business activity and I am pleased to report that in the last quarter we moved into a breakeven position ahead of plan. During the course of the year the Company purchased 2 further residential properties in London to provide accommodation for staff supporting the increased level of activity. Since the year end a residential property has also been acquired in New York for the same purpose. Shareholders funds now stand at £2.116m compared with £1.698 million a year ago. Partnership agreement discussions are continuing with a number of high profile software companies. The increased level of activity experienced in the second half of the financial year has continued in the early part of the current financial year. Again this increase has been in all areas of the Company's activities and the Board looks forward to a satisfactory outcome for the year. David Anderson 25 May 2005 Chairman Managing Director's statement The general climate in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications market has continued to improve. The most striking theme in the Deloitte 2005 Fast 500 CEO Survey Results was the increased confidence in future growth prospects. FDP operates primarily in the capital markets sector and there is little evidence of any contraction in technology spend in major financial institutions. Banks continue to focus on getting value for money from suppliers and are placing severe pressure on charge out rates and increasingly looking to outsource non-core functions. FDP have secured a small number of lucrative nearshore support contracts but the challenge from low cost centres such as India remains. Review of Activities First Derivatives operates loosely as 4 profit centres. Personnel can easily transfer from one profit centre to another. Capital Markets and Sales Partnerships contributes the vast majority of our current turnover and profitability but our investment in R&D should start to filter through to the bottom line in the current financial year. Capital Markets - FDP provides highly skilled resources to the capital markets providing consulting, support and development services. We have ongoing contracts with 5 of the largest banks in Europe and have 3 nearshore support contracts in place. These nearshore contracts involve providing remote support services from our offices in Newry. The biggest of these contracts for the provision of 12 resources with EDS was announced in February. This and other recurring revenues accounts for 62% of our income. Sales Partnerships - FDP continues to provide sales and marketing support for all industry sectors (excluding insurance) of Kx Systems worldwide. The contract was renegotiated with more favourable commercial terms, effective as of 1 January 2005. Their products continue to be widely used by some of the world's largest financial institutions including J P Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and Dresdner. We have provided consulting and support services to 15 of these organisations in the past year at various locations including London, New York and Tokyo. Most of these contracts are recurring in nature. We will continue to build our portfolio of alliances with other non-competing software vendors. Product Development - this group is in the process of developing a number of products, primarily for the use of customers of Kx Systems. The team is at an advanced stage of prototyping new products in the capital markets sector and more are in the development roadmap. Development has also commenced on a number of products which will be marketed to the telecoms sector and which will complement our e-business offering. No significant revenue will accrue from this division until the next financial year. e-business - this division gained some sales traction in the second half of the financial year and the partnership with BT is beginning to bear fruit. Pilots have started in a number of regions in England including Northumberland, Yorkshire and Manchester. Contracts have been signed with local authorities in Dublin, Cork, Kerry and Newry and Mourne for the use of our award winning e-procurement modules over the coming years. This division has now reached breakeven point and should contribute to profits in the current financial year. Managing Director's statement Personnel The company now employs 46 people and has staff based in London, New York and Stockholm. We will continue to source staff in Ireland due to the favourable cost differential vis-a-vis major financial centres. Most of our employees are participating in option schemes which we see as a key driver in retaining staff. Our staff turnover is relatively low which means that we are seeing increasing wage inflation as the average experience increases. Once again I would like to pay tribute to all FDP employees who almost without exception are hard working, talented, flexible and dedicated. Our customer retention rates are evidence of this. Property Portfolio As the number of staff working on-site in the major financial centres increases we will continue to buy property in lieu of paying for hotels and rented accommodation. As at the balance sheet date we had purchased 4 properties in London financed by cash and term loans and in the interim period have secured the purchase of a further property in New York. Financial Review Our pre-tax profit (2005: £811,000; 2004: £577,000), EBITDA (2005: £1,126,000, 2004: £810,000) and turnover (2005: £3,793,000; 2004: £2,679,000) were significantly up on last year. This was largely due to increased consultant utilisation and sales commission from partner agreements. Our balance sheet is strong with a cash balance of £788,000 and equity shareholders' funds of £2,116,000. This and our confidence in our ability to generate cash going forward enables us to declare a dividend of 1.46p per share. Outlook We are increasing headcount to meet demand from the current sales pipeline and to develop product. Our outlook for the year ahead is for trading to continue in line with previous trends and the further strengthening of our balance sheet. We now have a spread of activities with our recurring revenue stream insulating us against general industry downturn and our interest in the sale of various software products giving us the benefit of considerable potential upside.

Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost accounting rules. Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Intangible fixed assets Intangible fixed assets comprise intellectual property rights over software and are capitalised where purchased on an arm's length basis. Such assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives, estimated to be 5 years. Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost less the expected residual value of fixed assets over their anticipated useful lives at the following annual rates: Motor vehicles - 25% straight line Office furniture and equipment - 25% straight line Plant and equipment - 25-50% straight line Buildings - 2% straight line Government grants Government grants are recognised in the profit and loss account so as to match them with the expenditure towards which they are intended to contribute. Fixed asset investments Fixed asset investments are stated at cost unless, in the opinion of the Directors, there has been an impairment, in which case an appropriate adjustment is made. For shares acquired on the exercise of an option previously granted to the company, cost includes any in the money element of the option, as calculated at the date the option was granted. Research and development All research and development expenditure is written off in the period in which it is incurred. Pension plans The company operates 'Personal Pension Plans' whereby the company agrees to pay, for eligible employees, a defined contribution into the employee's own personal pension scheme. The pension charge represents contributions payable by the company for the period. The company's liability is limited to the amount of the contribution. The liability for meeting future pension payments rests solely with the employee's personal pension scheme. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transactions or at a contracted rate. The resulting monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the balance sheet rate or the contracted rate and the exchange differences are dealt with in the profit and loss account. 1 Accounting policies Taxation The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised, without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by FRS 19. 2 Turnover Turnover excludes value added tax and represents the fair value of services delivered to customers in the accounting period. Services are deemed to have been delivered to customers when, and to the extent that, the entity has met its obligations under its service contracts. Credit for enterprise software licence revenue is deferred and released over the period of the licence on a straight line basis. The directors are of the opinion that disclosure of the analysis of turnover and profit by geographical market would be prejudicial to the interests of the company. 3 Profit on ordinary activities before taxation Year ended Year ended 28 February 29 February 2005 2004 £'000 £'000 Profit on ordinary activities before taxation has been arrived at after charging: Depreciation 69 30 Amortisation 180 180 Auditors' remuneration - audit 10 10 - tax 7 10 Hire of premises - rentals payable under operating lease 14 12 4 Interest payable and other similar charges Year ended Year ended 28 February 29 February 2005 2004 £'000 £'000 On bank loans 74 31 5 Tax on profit on ordinary activities Year ended Year ended 28 February 29 February 2005 2004 £'000 £'000 UK corporation tax for the period 246 170 Adjustments relating to earlier years - (7) Total current tax charge 246 163 Deferred tax (see note 16) (4) 2 242 165 The basis by which taxation is calculated is stated in Note 1.
