The study did not show statistically significant differences between treatments in the primary endpoint of patient reported adequate relief of IBS symptoms Statistically significant evidence favouring Rezular treatment was achieved in a number of secondary endpoints, particularly those relating to aspects of diarrhoea (e.g. stool form as assessed by the Bristol Stool Scale), stool frequency and in the majority of sub-categories of quality-of-life (IBS-QOL) scores and in the overall IBS-QOL score There were no statistically significant differences between treatments in adequate relief of pain/discomfort or change in severity of pain Based on this preliminary data analysis, AGI does not believe that Rezular will meet the regulatory requirements for an effective therapy for the broad IBS-D population and plans to cease its development in this indication
"A safe and effective therapy for patients with IBS-D remains elusive. We are very disappointed that this study did not achieve its primary clinical endpoint. While we saw evidence that Rezular™ has activity in many aspects of this multi-symptom disease, as in our earlier study, our experience in bringing products to market suggests to us that the pursuit of this product as a therapy for IBS-D would not be a prudent use of our resources. AGI has a promising portfolio of other products. Recently we announced positive proof-of-concept Phase II results for AGI004 in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhoea (CID) in cancer patients. We will now focus our efforts on prioritising our pipeline and plan how best to move these forward. We will keep our shareholders apprised of these plans."

08 May 2009 Interim Management Statement This constitutes the Interim Management Statement of International Personal Finance plc ("IPF"), in accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. The purpose of this Interim Management Statement, the full text of which is set out below, is to provide an update on the performance of IPF from the start of 2009 up to the date of publication, along with an update of its financial position. The statement is as follows: "All markets with the exception of Hungary are performing in line with expectations. Our developing markets in Mexico and Romania are progressing to plan and the outbreak of Swine Flu in Mexico has not affected performance. We remain on track for Mexico to report a profit for 2009 and for Romania to report a much reduced loss. Economic and trading conditions within Central Europe vary considerably. In Poland and Czech/Slovakia we experienced a sharp downturn in collections performance and a rise in impairment in January and February but in March and April collections performance was much improved and impairment levels were reduced. In most branch locations in these markets we are now able to relax the very tight credit criteria we imposed in October of last year and return to controlled growth in customer numbers and credit issued. Hungary has been hardest hit by the global recession. It is clear

22-APR-2009 16:14 LONDON, April 22 (Reuters) - Britain announced plans on Wednesday to boost the ailing car industry with a scheme to give motorists a £2,000 discount on purchasing a new vehicle when they trade in one more than ten years old. Finance minister Alistair Darling said in his annual budget the government would contribute 1,000 pounds to a new purchase, with the remainder funded by car companies. The move, which follows the introduction of similar schemes across Europe, was given a mixed reception as car manufacturers had hoped the government would finance the entire subsidy and environmental groups had hoped it would be limited to the purchase of less polluting vehicles. The AA also said it was disappointed by the government's plans to increase fuel duty by 2 pence a litre in September. 'Drivers will be delighted that a scrappage scheme has been given the green light, however motorists will be furious that he (Darling) has landed a fuel duty bombshell to pay for it,' said AA President Edmund King. The RAC said the scheme would consign a lot of 'perfectly good, and relatively clean, vehicles to the dustbin.' Friends of the Earth transport campaigner Tony Bosworth said: 'This is just an unnecessary subsidy to an industry that has consistently opposed tough legislation to cut carbon emissions.' The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) welcomed the plan, saying it was 'good news for consumers and will get people in the showrooms
I just had a text from a friend of a friend who has said Darling will announce the car scrap scheme 100% but at what rate he cannot confirm just yet either £2000 or he could suprise us all with £2500 or more lol lol lol
