NOTES TO THE SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2012
1. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements has been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations adopted for use in the European Union ("IFRS") and those parts of the BVI Business Companies Act applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The financial information for the period ended 31 January 2012 has been reviewed in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. The figures were prepared using applicable accounting policies and practices consistent with those adopted in the statutory accounts for the period ended 31 October 2011. The figures for the period ended 31 October 2011 have been extracted from these accounts, which have been delivered to the AIM Market operated by the London Stock Exchange, and contained an unqualified audit report.
The financial information contained in this document does not constitute statutory financial statements. In the opinion of the directors the financial information for this period fairly presents the financial position, result of operations and cash flows for this period.
This Special Purpose Financial Report was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 February 2012.
Statement of compliance
These condensed special purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union with the exception of International Accounting Standard ('IAS') 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly the special purpose financial statements do not include all of the information or disclosures required in the annual financial statements.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd and its controlled entities. The financial statements of controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in full.
Foreign currencies
The functional currency of each entity is determined after consideration of the primary economic environment of the entity. The group's presentational currency is Sterling (£).
2. Loss per share
The calculation of earnings per share is based on the loss after taxation divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period:
Period ended 31 January 2012 (unaudited) | Period ended 30 April 2011 (unaudited) | Year ended 31 October 2011 (unaudited) | |
£'000 | £'000 | £'000 | |
Net loss after taxation | (372) | (573) | (1,879) |
Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating basic earnings per share | 363.77m | 348.19m | 354.35m |
Basic loss per share (expressed in pence) | (0.10) pence | (0.16) pence | (0.53) pence |
As the inclusion of the potential ordinary shares would result in a decrease in the loss per share they are considered to be anti-dilutive and, as such, a diluted loss per share is not included.
3. Share capital
The authorised share capital of the Company and the called up and fully paid amounts at 31 January 2012 were as follows:
Called up, allotted, issued and fully paid | Number of shares | Nominal value £'000 |

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO TOP LEVEL DOMAIN HOLDINGS LIMITED
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the financial information for the three months ended 31 January 2012 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, and the related notes. We have read the other information contained in the special purpose report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in ISRE 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The special purpose financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the special purpose financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this special purpose financial report have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the group intends to use in preparing its next annual financial statements.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the special purpose financial report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the special purpose financial report for the three months ended 31 January 2012 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
