Notes to the Editor:
Impact Holdings (UK) plc through its individual subsidiaries provides financial
outsourcing and ancillary services to the legal profession.
In addition Impact will fund other opportunities where debt instruments or
debentures provide the primary security and there are opportunities for short
term bespoke funding where serviceability precludes larger lenders from
entering this area.
Impact is regulated by the Office of Fair Trading through which it is licensed
to lend under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
The financial information detailed below has been extracted from the Annual
Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2015, which are available

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
We have previously advised that as a consequence of the ongoing credit crisis
and new economic environment in which we operate, it has been necessary to seek
out additional revenue streams for the group.
THE BOARD
The Board remains committed to adhering to strong Corporate Governance and
operating within a framework of prudent controls which ensures the future risks
of the business are controlled and managed.
STRATEGY
The development of the strategic direction of the business has continued in
this financial year with a further reduction in our exposure to third party
funders. This peaked at GBP10.0m in March 2010 and now stands at GBP1.2m as at 31
March 2015.
OUTLOOK
The group remains focused on providing services to the legal and business
sectors. The Board of Directors is committed to the future growth opportunities
earmarked and continues to develop this strategy which will provide the
foundation for controlled growth, increased profitability over time and
enhanced shareholder value.
The dedication and commitment of all staff to re-align the business is a credit
as they have collectively worked with commitment and resilience to deliver this
performance.
I should like to place on record my appreciation for the efforts of the
executive, management and staff during the year. I also appreciate the
enthusiasm and support of my fellow directors and thank them for their
continued encouragement and counsel.
DIVIDEND
No dividend will be declared for the year.
