INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE 6 MONTHS' PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2008
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
On the 8 March 2008 the company changed its name from Crystalband PLC to Frame 1 PLC.
Turnover for the six months' period to 31 March 2008 amounted to �2,982k, an increase of �169k on the same period last year. I am
delighted to report that this resulted in a gross profit of �988k compared to �697k for the same period last year. This represents an 8.4%
increase in the gross margin and is wholly down to the increased efficiency of the way the business is now managed and operated. We are now,
at last, seeing the benefits of the difficult decisions taken at the end of 2006 and the efforts of the new management team since then.
Given the losses sustained in the periods prior to my chairmanship, we are not yet able to declare a dividend.
Unfortunately, one of the larger Local Authority contracts that has been a valuable source of business for the company over the past
couple of years has now ended. Whilst we are hoping that we may be successful in our attempts to secure future Local Authority contracts, I
am happy to be able to report that this turnover has been replaced by a number of other contracts with commercial customers, many with
improved margins.
The management team is also actively considering a number of other initiatives to grow the core business and further improve
efficiencies. I am, therefore, very pleased to report that now we have turned the business to profitability I am confident that we can now
see the business grow.
I believe the business is now in a position to expand in a controlled and manageable manner. However, I have to acknowledge that the
market remains challenging and I suspect will remain difficult throughout the remainder of the current financial year. That said, I am
delighted to be able to report that we are continuing to trade profitably. In the current difficult trading climate and given the
difficulties we have come through since the change in management, this will be a tremendous achievement.

3. Transition to IFRS
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 1 "First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards"
to establish requirements for the first time adoption of IFRS. In general a company is required to select an accounting policies that comply
with IFRS and apply these accounting policies retrospectively to all the periods presented in the first IFRS financial statements. The
opening IFRS balance sheet is to be prepared at the date of transition to IFRS based upon the selected accounting policies under IFRS. The
transition date is the start of the earliest period for which full comparative information is presented in accordance with IFRS. The Group's
transition date is 01 October 2006.
The Group has elected to take advantage of provisions within IFRS1 "First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards"
which offers certain exemptions from applying IFRS to the opening sheet prepared at 30 September 2007.
The comparative figures shown in this report have been restated to reflect the new accounting policies under IFRS. Reconciliations and
explanations of the effects of adopting the new policies on the Group's equity, profits and cash flows are shown below:
* IFRS3 "Business combinations" has not been applied to business combinations prior to 01 April 2007. The carrying amount of the
opening IFRS balance sheet at 01 April 2007 is therefore its carrying amount under UK GAAP.

i) Goodwill
Goodwill recognised under UK GAAP prior to the date of transition is recognised as its net book value at the transition date as allowed
under IFRS 1 and then tested annually for impairment.
Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis for changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying
value may be impaired. This is done by estimating the future cash flows and choosing a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the
present value of the cash flows. No impairment loss was recognised.
