Annual General Meeting - Statement

Focus Solutions Group plc (AIM: FSG), a leading supplier of enterprise solutions to the financial services industry, is today holding its Annual General Meeting, at which the Chairman, Alastair Taylor, will make the following statement:

"Focus has had a very encouraging start to the current financial year with our financial performance to date significantly ahead of the same period last year. Despite wider market conditions we have not seen any deterioration in new business enquiries, and remain confident that the underlying requirement for our customer base to comply with regulatory requirements at all times, irrespective of short term market conditions, will continue to drive the business forward.  We expect the business to perform in line with market expectations for the year as a whole.

We continue to pursue the appropriate legal framework to ensure that the company is able to pay a dividend in the future. 

The official launch of focus:360° in May was particularly successful and the company now leads the market with its whole of office and extranet solutions. 

The Group's intention is to be recognised as the leading provider of front office solutions to the UK financial services market and the Board has a clear strategy for both organic and non-organic growth to achieve this."
