Final Results

On-Line PLC 19 December 2006 Embargoed for release until 1.30 pm 19th December 2006 On-line PLC ('On-line' or 'the Company') Preliminary Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2006 On-line today announces preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2006. For further information, please contact: On-line Plc Michael Hodges, Chairman and Managing Director mikeh@advfn.com On-line PLC Chairman's Statement You will notice that our results for this year are shown for the Company, whereas previously figures were consolidated for the Group. This change is due to accounting requirements as we no longer have any operating subsidiaries; with all of our investments now being either associates or trade investments. In the past year we have been busy working with our investments, which, I'm happy to report have been developing to plan. ADVFN Plc ADVFN has undergone a transformation; it is no longer solely a UK-centric stocks and shares website. It has geo-targeted, native language versions of the site in Italy, Japan, Brazil, Germany, France, India and the USA. ADVFN is operating on a global basis, while enjoying the cost benefits of managing its sites in-house. ADVFN has now become an international brand. Its tactics are to address familiar markets from London and partner in territories such as Japan and Brazil which, although exciting and potentially lucrative, are hard for it to approach directly. It has made acquisitions when opportunities have arisen and is now in a position where it has all the pieces in place to grow in territories it has already entered and can replicate this model in new global markets. Since the year end ADVFN has made big strides towards its growth strategy by buying InvestorsHub.com and Silicon Investor - two top five online investment community websites in the North American market which have over 100 million combined monthly page views. Equity Holdings Limited, which was acquired by ADVFN in February of this year, has exceeded its first turnover milestone, in respect of the financial year to June 2006. Equity Development's core product is high quality equity research. Their profitable financial year saw a rise of over 40% in the number of companies paying for this product. In addition, Equity Development was able to expand its range of services approved by the FSA and became an authorised Corporate Adviser for companies on the thriving PLUS Markets exchange. All IPO Plc All IPO Plc achieved FSA regulatory authorisation in August 2005 and LSE membership in May 2006, and has since focused on building up both customer base and profile with investment banks and brokers in the City. As it has been introducing City investment banks to its platform it has had the opportunity to make various IPOs available to its growing user base of private investors and consequentially has linked up with Stocktrade and Etrade to bring the All IPO platform to their customers. The British Government has stated that it wishes to privatise many of its shareholdings in enterprises such as the Tote and British Energy and All IPO is working hard to win inclusion for the private investor via the All IPO platform. Since the year end All IPO has launched an IPO discretionary service joint venture with Redmayne Bentley Stockbrokers. By combining All IPO's platform and technical skills with Redmayne Bentley's award winning discretionary investment management, it should significantly broaden the spectrum of IPO investments to which the private investor can gain exposure and we are excited about it's prospects.

(Loss)/earnings per ordinary share The calculation of the basic earnings or loss per share is based on the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average numbers of shares in issue during the year.

Reconciliations of earnings and weighted average number of shares used in the calculation are set out below. 2006 2005 Number of Earnings Number of Earnings Loss shares per share Profit shares per share £'000 '000 p £'000 '000 P (Loss)/profit for the year (103) 783 Weighted average number of shares 7,662 7,654 Basic earnings per share (1.3)p 10.2p Number of shares under option - 990 Number of shares that would have - (448) been issued at average market value Diluted earnings per share (103) 7,662 (1.3)p 783 8,196 9.5p There is no diluted loss per share as the options are anti-dilutive. 3.
