ALL IPO PLC29 March 2005 ALL IPO PLC ('ALL IPO' or 'the Company') Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2004 ALL IPO today announces unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31December 2004 Managing Director's Statement I am pleased to report our first set of results since our change of name fromAkaei Plc to ALL IPO PLC. Since our last annual results we have raisedadditional funds resulting in a significantly healthier balance sheet, completedthe acquisition of All Ipo Limited, strengthened our board and moved into thefinancial sector. The acquisition was only completed in November 2004 and thenew business is pending FSA approval so this has had a minimal effect on theprofit and loss account. These developments present new opportunities and have brought a substantiallynew board that brings with it many years of experience of working in theFinancial Markets. We also now have a significant new shareholder in ADVFN PLC,Europe's leading provider of Stock Market data to private investors, which hasindicated that it will provide All IPO with access to ADVFN's substantial userbase which will provide a significant distribution channel. ADVFN is aninvaluable resource for anyone interested in or monitoring the financial marketsand can be viewed at: www.advfn.com All IPO will be a pivotal platform for the efficient distribution of financialinstruments to private investors. It will make available to private investorsshares of companies that are coming to the market and wishing to raise capitalvia the Internet. Retail investors will be able to participate on-line in IPOsand other fundraisings. ALL IPO's business is designed to allow investors toapply for new issues of shares during an IPO via a fully on-line process.Investors will view investment opportunities, apply for shares, pay and havetheir investments confirmed via a seamless electronic process. The new business requires ALL IPO to be regulated by the Financial ServicesAuthority ("FSA"). This is a lengthy and complicated process, but ourapplication seeking FSA approval has now been submitted and we are waiting onthe FSA to respond. Timing of such a response is uncertain, but usually takesseveral months. An announcement will be made once we have received suchapproval and we will then shortly begin to make IPOs available and develop theplatform further to expand the range of offerings it can provide. We believe that we will soon be ready to exploit the many opportunities expectedto become available in the IPO arena and we look to the future with optimism.
