Leo Insurance Services Plc
INTERIM REPORT for the six months ended 31 July 2006
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
As shareholders will recall in January of this year Leo announced that it was
setting up a joint venture with a company called Arlington Insurance Services
Ltd whereby they and Leo would each own 50% of the share capital of Grafton
Insurance Services Ltd to focus on property insurance and at the same time
announced that new long term agreements with Safeland plc and Bizspace plc were
to be entered into.
As the nature of the relationship with Grafton is a joint venture and there are
no other subsidiaries or associated companies of Leo the results of Grafton are
not able to be consolidated.
The results of Leo for the period under review are that it made a loss of
42,158 with a resultant loss per share of 0.60p. After taking into
consideration the profit of Grafton for the same period, the loss reduces to
6,814 and the loss per share to 0.10p.
The long term contracts mentioned above are generating the expected business,
there have been a number of new introductions and the board have also been
actively seeking potential acquisitions.
This acquisition policy will continue in the future, as will the introduction of
potential clients, and I am therefore confident of a continued improvement in
the company's results.
