evolution securities’ income analysis Evolution securities’ total income (before fee and commission expenses) has clearly been impacted in 2008 from a weaker primary performance with total primary income (before fee and commission expenses) in 2008 lower at £9.2m (2007: £18.6m). Equity commissions of £12.7m (2007: £16.4m) and trading revenues of £0.1m (2007: £15.8m) have also fallen significantly following the decline in market conditions, however this was partially offset by a 97% increase in fixed income revenues at £7.1m (2007: £3.6m). secondary income therefore fell in total to £19.9m (2007: £35.8m). evolution securities’ cost analysis in view of deteriorating revenue opportunities during the year, Evolution securities underwent a thorough cost reduction exercise. Costs 1 have therefore decreased in 2008 by over 11% or £5.9m. This was achieved through two redundancy rounds, supplier re-negotiations and suspension of phased development programmes. staff costs this year continue to make up a similar proportion of the total cost base as in 2007. The other costs have remained stable and relate principally to premises, direct transactions, systems and market data. 1 Excludes the impact of the cost of options and non-recurring and 2007 exceptional items. evolution securities china Following the announcement of the proposed transaction entered into with First Eastern, Evolution securities China (which was previously shown as separate geographical segment) has been treated as discontinued in both 2008 and 2007. As a result the Consolidated income statement shows a loss for the year from discontinued operations of £2.5m (2007: £0.4m profit). At 31 December 2008, £4.8m of assets (including cash of £0.8m) and £0.6m of liabilities to third party’s outside the Group have been reclassified as assets and liabilities of disposal group held-for-sale.
