Directors' Statement on the Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months Ended

31st May 2010

The Company made a loss of £33,884 which compares to a profit of £11,697 in the same period last year. Fee income fell to £20,496 (2009: £77,358) which reflects the termination of the investment management agreement with Capita for the CF Analyst UK Fund, consisting of approximately £4 million funds under management. No performance-related fees were earned during the interim 6 month period.

There has been a small decrease in costs, from £48,567 to £40,372 as a result of relocating our offices to Reading. The opportunity to cut costs further is limited and the future success of the business is reliant on increasing funds under management.

The company had assets under management of approximately £8.75m on 31 May 2010.

The recently appointed two new investment managers have brought in additional funds under management of £8.4 million which are expected to increase by a similar amount by the end of the year if pending negotiations with several investors are successful.

We failed to agree terms of arrangements with Mr Sandeep Jaitly who planned to launch the Gold Fund as mentioned in the Chairman's Statement for the year ended 30 November 2009. Mr Jaitly is no longer with the company.

We recently had a formal visit from the FSA who have completed their review and subsequently requested further information. No material exceptions were highlighted, however. We have reported our dispute with Capita to the FSA, and a decision as to any further action will be taken soon.

The previous fund manager who left the company on 30 November 2009 has made a claim for unfair dismissal which has been referred to the Employment Tribunal. Specialist employment lawyers have been appointed to represent the company and are reviewing all the documentation whilst waiting for a hearing date.

We are pleased at the progress so far made by our two new investment managers, and continue to identify further opportunities to enhance the business

This Statement has been prepared by and is the sole responsibility of the directors of Analyst Investment Management plc.
