'I am delighted to report exceptional growth and profitability in our maiden
results as a public company following our flotation on AIM last March.
Interregnum is amongst the first European firms to have adopted the US-style
IT Venture Capital business model, premised on taking equity stakes in our
client companies whilst simultaneously playing a very hands on role in
nurturing their development.
'I am very pleased to welcome Ian Taylor, MP, to the Board as non-executive
director. Ian's experience as former DTI Minister with responsibility for the
UK's IT sector will be immensely valuable to Interregnum.
'In addition, we have appointed Helix Associates Limited to lead the
fundraising from institutional investors of a discrete Venture Capital Fund.
This is in line with our strategy to make direct investments in early-stage IT
companies in the core base technology areas, as well as for investment in
turnaround situations.
'This strategy maintains our differentiation in this space on this side of the
Atlantic and I have every confidence in our ability to deliver significant
growth based on our aim of transforming technology into wealth.'

Introduction
It gives me great pleasure to introduce Interregnum's maiden financial results
following our admission to AIM in March 2000. Since that date we have
continued to make significant progress in the successful implementation of our
business model as demonstrated by the results detailed below.
Revenue Growth
Our revenues fall under two main headings: fee income generated from our
advisory lines of business, and returns from the disposal of portfolio
holdings. Last year saw a 46% increase in revenues, our 6th successive year of
revenue growth, with all of our operating lines of business delivering
underlying increases in their fee incomes. Overall revenues were further
boosted by our successful disposal of Geoconference - one of our portfolio
companies.
Profitability
The last few years prior to our flotation have seen Interregnum investing in
people and growth of the portfolio. In 1999/2000, assisted by the record
revenues, we were pleased to record a return to a profit before tax of
£144,996 (1999: loss of £157,308).
Strong Balance Sheet
The core of our company's value lies in our portfolio of holdings in high
potential IT companies. The portfolio contains two different classes of
holding:
'Sweat equity' - minority positions in clients who have granted us shares,
options or other instruments
Equity positions acquired directly using Interregnum's own funds.
Last year we achieved an 881% increase in overall portfolio value. More
importantly, the sweat equity element of the portfolio grew organically by
415%.
Portfolio
Our portfolio is the foundation on which our value is built. The portfolio
presently contains 29 holdings valued at our last audit at 11,461,094, up 881%
from 1,168,448 the year before.
The portfolio consists exclusively of companies that satisfy two key criteria:
1. Their business is dependent for success on the peculiarities of the IT
market
2. Their business model contains a high likelihood of generating wealth (via
either a trade sale or IPO) in a measurable time frame.
Strict adherence to these criteria means that we only work with clients to
whom we can add the value that comes from over 180 years of experience in the
IT market.
In addition it has ensured that we have entirely avoided involvement with B2C
internet dot.com companies. Rather, where we are involved with internet
companies our focus has been on those which either develop components for the
web's infrastructure or which are using leading edge technology to exploit the
medium's power.
Our holdings are defined under four key headings: Hardware, Software, Services
and Internet Infrastructure and our strategy is to seek a balance both within
and between the four categories to ensure that no single investment type
dominates the portfolio. The Directors believe that the net year on year
growth of the portfolio (after subtracting an allowance for costs and
expenses) provides the best measure of value growth within Interregnum. That
net growth provides a measure of notional earnings which, when combined with
an expectation of sustainable growth, enables a value to be placed on
Interregnum and other companies of our type. In recognition of its
criticality to shareholder value, we use the rate of growth in notional
earnings - the 'velocity' - as a key performance indicator for management.
New Deals
Since the flotation in March, we have made six new investments utilising the
funds raised in the IPO, detailed as follows:
Company Business £
Computerwire Online IT intelligence researcher and publisher 250,000
On board Info Killer app in the eCalendar space 950,000
Mediasurface Web content management 269,468
Datapoint Contact centre consultancy & services 3,890,000
Synaxia Next generation storage management products 67,020
Adaptive Data and process mapping tools 9,039
total 5,435,527
Building our Team
An essential ingredient in our strategy for growth is the need to increase the
size of our team of people in order to be able to find and work with a larger
number of client companies and equity holdings. Since our IPO, I am pleased to
report that we have recruited two further Associate Directors and one
Principal.
I am also delighted to announce within this report that Ian Taylor MP, former
Minister for Science & Technology in the last Conservative Government, has
joined our Board as non-executive director. Ian's wealth of experience and
corporate finance background will be of immense value to Interregnum and we
very much look forward to working with him in future.
Venture Capital Fundraising
As indicated in the prospectus document we published in connection with the
IPO, an integral part of our strategy for growth is to increase both the range
and size of our investments. The most appropriate means of realising this
ability is to create a discrete Venture Capital fund to be managed and
invested by the Interregnum team. Therefore, we have appointed Helix
Associates Limited to advise on and lead an institutional investor fundraising
designed to provide a minimum of £75m specifically for this purpose. We expect
this exercise to commence within the next few weeks.
Priorities
At our IPO we raised £20.0m, pre expenses, to increase portfolio (and
therefore) shareholder value, through the investment of what the Americans
call 'smart money' namely:
1. To increase the size of our portfolio stakes by buying shares alongside our
sweat equity positions
2. To increase the number of companies in which we hold stakes by expanding
the fee-earning headcount
We have made a good start in both of these endeavours and our intention over
the next twelve months is to continue to attract and retain the best European
IT sector talent available and to find innovative ways to raise and apply
capital to high potential opportunities.
The arena in which we operate - the IT sector - looks set to continue its
rapid expansion for some time to come driven by the twin forces of ubiquity
and power. The internet, digital/interactive TV and next generation mobile
telephony will see the application of IT increase its reach considerably,
while the increase in storage, processing and bandwidth will ensure that there
is adequate capability to support those new applications.
In conclusion, I hope that you will enjoy our first annual report as a public
company and that you will share our pleasure with the first year's results and
our optimism about the future potential for our company.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention modified to include the revaluation of fixed asset investments in
accordance with applicable accounting standards.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Interregnum PLC and
all of its subsidiaries' undertakings for the year. Subsidiaries acquired
during the year are generally consolidated using the acquisition method.
Their results are consolidated from the date that control passes. The
difference between the acquisition cost of the shares in the subsidiary and
the fair value of the separable net assets acquired is carried as goodwill.
The acquisition of Interregnum Venture Marketing Limited has been accounted
for as a merger. The consolidated financial statements merge the financial
statements of the company and Interregnum Venture Marketing Limited as if they
had always so been owned. Accordingly, in those years when mergers take
place, the whole of the results, assets, liabilities and shareholders funds of
the merged companies are consolidated regardless of the actual merger date,
and corresponding figures for the previous years are restated.
All financial statements have been made up to 30 June.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on all
tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write each asset down to its
estimated residual value evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:-
Improvements to Short leasehold land and buildings 15%
Fixtures, fittings and computer equipment 15-33%
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date
of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet
date. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.
LEASING AND HIRE PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are those
where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have
passed to the group, are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over
their useful lives.
The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and
loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion
of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account
on a straight line basis over the lease term.
VALUATION OF FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments, comprising equity shares and share options, are
stated at cost or valuation and in accordance with the 'Guidelines for the
valuation and disclosure of venture capital portfolios' published by the
British Venture Capital Association, on the following basis:
Early stage investments: these are investments in immature companies,
including seed, start-up and early stage investments. Such investments are
valued at cost less any provision considered necessary, until no longer viewed
as early stage or unless a significant transaction involving an independent
third party at arm's-length values the investment at a materially different
value.
Development stage investments: such investments are in mature companies having
a maintainable trend of sustainable profits and an exit by way of flotation or
trade sale can be reasonably foreseen. An investment of this stage is
periodically revalued by reference to open market value. Valuation
will usually be by way of one of four ways as indicated.
i) At cost for at least one year unless such a basis is unsustainable;
ii) On a third party basis based on the price at which a subsequent issue of
capital is made involving a significant investment by a new investor;
iii) On an earnings basis, but not until at least a year since the investment
was made, by applying a discounted price/earnings ratio to profit after
taxation, either before or after interest; or
iv) On a net asset basis, again applying a discount to reflect the
illiquidity of the investment.
Quoted investments: such investments are valued using the quoted market price,
discounted if the shares are subject to any particular restrictions or are
significant in relation to the issued share capital of a small quoted company.
Share options are subject to vesting and other conditions set out in the
options agreements. The valuation is based on all share options which have
vested.
A review of permanent diminution in value is undertaken by reference to
funding, investment or offers in progress after the balance sheet date. No
adjustment is made for any uplift in value after the balance sheet date.
PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS
The costs of providing pension contributions for employees are charged to the
profit and loss account. The company contributes 2% of an employee's gross
salary into a personal pension fund of their choice.
TURNOVER
Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding Value Added Tax, of
services rendered during the year.
COMPARATIVES
The financial statements have been prepared as if the Group in its present
form had existed for the comparative year ended 30 June 1999.
