Beyond these substantial improvements in our trading performance, we also proved our ability to leverage our suite of proprietary online publishing software by launching Internet based joint ventures targeting other niche communities. We believe that our existing publications and services operating within the Jewish niche are all set for growth, with new product and joint venture launches planned for later this year and, as a result, the board's confidence is extremely high that this improved trading performance will continue into the second half and beyond." For further information: Steve Burns T: 020 7692 6929 CEO Totally Plc www.totallyplc.com John East & Partners T: 020 7628 2200 David Worlidge / Simon Clements Abigail Singleton T: 0207 429 6606 Conduit PR M: 07739 461 061 Chairman's Statement I am pleased to present the results for the six months ended 30 June 2006. During the period the Group made an operating profit of £22,000 (2005: £197,000 loss) and profit after taxation of £9,000 (2005: £218,000 loss) on turnover of £1.39 million (2005: £1.33 million). Jewish Niche Publishing & Services As a direct result of the product development activity undertaken in 2005, publishing revenue in the UK and US grew by 6 per cent. and 12 per cent. respectively when compared to the same period last year. Indeed both Jewish News and The Jewish Advocate newspapers produced trading results ahead of those achieved in any previous years. While Totally has been busy establishing its new dating service (www.totallyjewishdating.com) in the UK market, significant development activity has been undertaken in order to prepare the site for an international marketing drive, designed to help ensure that it takes a share in the $30 million worldwide market for online Jewish personals. A new and improved version of the site will be launched in this third quarter. At the same time, the TotallyJewish branded directory, travel and recruitment websites have all experienced revenue increases when compared to the second half of 2005 and work is almost complete on two new TotallyJewish branded online product launches within the property and celebrations sectors. As a result of the proprietary nature of Totally's Internet publishing software and the breadth of its online offering within the global Jewish niche, Totally has been able to instigate conversations with a number of other international Jewish publishers regarding the potential for strategic online distribution and ASP partnerships. These conversations will hopefully culminate in the global realisation of the TotallyJewish brand and its various derivatives, which the directors expect will help to grow additional revenue streams. After a concerted effort in the area of search engine optimisation, the current TotallyJewish portfolio of websites are extremely well represented within the naturalised listings on all major search engines, especially Google. Internet Services Over the first six months of this year Totally has demonstrated its ability to use its proprietary Internet publishing technology to target successfully other niche communities in partnership with specialist publishers, broadcasters or content owners. During the period under review, Totally launched three joint ventures as follows: * Together with the leading Greek broadcaster London Greek Radio ("LGR"), Totally launched www.lgr.co.uk a new portal targeting the UK's Greek community, promoting a range of new online services including dating, directory, property and recruitment. Under a five year joint venture agreement, the partners will share in all service related revenues and new advertising agreements. Totally will provide use of its proprietary online publishing software suite and advise LGR on its commercial online strategy. LGR will provide content, marketing via its 24-hour FM broadcast and established Greek community relationships. * Together with the publisher of The Property Trade Directory, a 1,600 page guide to over 30,000 property contacts across the UK, Totally launched www.propertytradedirectory.com, an online version of the already established printed guide which is now in its third edition. Under the joint venture agreement, Totally provides use of its proprietary online directory software and receives half of the revenues generated from online advertising, listing upgrades and other ancillary services. * Together with the leading specialist online language job board www.toplanguagejobs.co.uk, Totally launched a new portal www.toplanguagecommunity.com promoting a range of online services including dating, directory, property, forums and general classifieds targeting the fast growing communities of foreign language speakers working or looking to work in the UK and Ireland. Under the joint venture agreement, the partners will share equally in all future advertising and service related revenues. As a result of the generic and modular approach taken in the development of its proprietary publishing technology, Totally can now develop and implement partner sites quickly and cost effectively and, once the sites have been implemented, Totally's involvement in marketing and administration is minimal. As a result, revenues generated from these joint ventures are expected to be highly profitable. The directors are currently working on the development of a more formulaic strategy for the future roll out of this area of the Company. Over the last six months Totally has also grown the technology side of Totally Communications, a web agency and general technology and consultancy provider. Working across an increasingly corporate client base, as a result of its generic approach to developing Internet solutions, Totally can deliver high quality websites and bespoke online applications at extremely competitive prices. Whilst client acquisition has traditionally been created through referral and recommendation, the Company has started recruiting a sales team to drive growth and is considering options in relation to marketing activity. Prospects Through the continued development of its publications, services and distribution capability, Totally's operations within the Jewish niche are set to grow rapidly and profitably. By leveraging its proprietary internet based publishing technology, Totally can continue to develop partnerships that have the potential to deliver highly profitable revenues and create significant long term value. At the same time, through investing in a formal sales and marketing strategy, Totally's technology business can also grow rapidly and profitably. Ultimately, as a result of the product development activity undertaken over the last 18 months, Totally is now extremely well placed to take advantage of opportunities for growth in revenue and profit.

Basis of preparation The Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2006 are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts in accordance with section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. Full accounts for the year ended 31 December 2005, on which the auditors gave an unqualified report and contained no statement under Section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Interim Results do not include any provision under FRS 20 - Accounting for Share Based Payments. The Company is currently working with its auditors to agree an appropriate formula and this will be reflected in the full year accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006. 2. Dividends No dividend is proposed for the six months ended 30 June 2006. 3. Earnings/(loss)per share The basic loss per share has been calculated by dividing the retained profit for the period of £8,886 (2005:£217,645) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 90,014,378 (2004: 86,233,632) in issue during the period. The diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, in accordance with FRS 14 which prescribes that potential ordinary shares should only be used as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease net profit or increase net loss per share from continuing operations. 4. Copies of Interim Results Copies of the Interim Results will be available from the Company's website (www.totallyplc.com) and from the Company's registered office, Unit 611, Highgate Studios, 53-79 Highgate Road, London, NW5 1TL.
