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.

Notes:
1. Basic loss per share has been calculated using a loss for the financial
period of £1,111,000 and a weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue during the period 6 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 of 108,145,756. Exercise
of the Company's share options would not result in any dilution in the loss
per share.
2. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of CDE Solutions Limited and Law 2407
Limited amounting to £5,759,000 has been capitalised and amortised through
the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over a period of 10
years.
3. The group has no liability to current taxation due to the existence of tax
losses. The group has no potential liability to deferred taxation.
