Chief Executive's Report

I am pleased to report a year during which we have consolidated the growth achieved in the previous two years and increased pre-tax profits by 20%.

The Group turnover for the year stabilized at GBP27.0m after a period of rapid growth over the last two years. Pre-tax profits of GBP960,000 (an increase of 20% compared with 2009) confirms our strategy of business process outsourcing and working in partnership with leading organizations. Post tax profits are GBP643,000 (an increase of 25% over 2009). Over the year we have repaid GBP790,000 of long term debt and are on target to clear the balance by December 2012.

Our partnerships with Steria, Nuffield Healthcare and TNT have continued to enable us to enhance our operational processes and deliver a broad range of rehabilitation and medical services and to respond rapidly to the requirements of our customers.

Ongoing Strategy

The strategy we adopted in 2006 has now delivered a significant and sustainable competitive cost advantage which, as these results demonstrate, is delivering improved financial returns. We will continue to target organic growth using both cost and service advantages plus we will continue to seek acquisition targets that meet our key criteria.

We continue to innovate in IT development. Key projects during the year include the development of a platform to enable two-way data exchange with our customers which will deliver processing speed and efficiency benefits.

We continue to evaluate the options open for us to deliver a range of healthcare services to both consumers and employers.

Key Performance Indicators

The day to day key indicators of business performance have not changed from those reported last year, these are measured and monitored based on the following categories: -

New instructions received and processed (3% increase in the year);

Medical reports returned and processed (6% decrease in the year);

Margins are measured daily against budget and used to determine purchasing efficiencies; and

Daily cash collection (3% increase in the year).

A quality audit is undertaken on a daily basis for all key operational processes, the results of which are collated and presented to both the operational team and individuals each day by the operations managers. The audit process is based on a predetermined matrix and errors are recorded as low, medium and high with a benchmark of 96% accuracy.

Dividend

No dividend will be paid for the year ended 30 November 2010 (2009: nil).

Current Trading and Outlook

We look forward to another year of profitable trading. The UK Government is consulting on reforms to legislation which, if implemented in full, could adversely affect funding for personal injury claims. The Directors are of the opinion that the risk to the business in the foreseeable future is small.
