CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT ON THE AUDITED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008

The Group's turnover for the year decreased slightly from £1,295,119 to £1,247,188. This was due in part to the well documented turmoil in the financial markets, leading to a reduction in activity in both our operating subsidiaries as both our individual and corporate clients reduced their investment activity. In addition, the lack of availability of both equity and bank finance during the second half of the year has slowed our planned acquisition activity in the IFA sector with a consequent reduction of our expected turnover.

I can announce that your company made a loss for the year after taxation of £174,372 compared to a loss after taxation of £146,311 in 2007. No dividends are proposed. Although the loss is disappointing internal economies have resulted in the Group making a modest profit in the second half of the financial year.

The financial highlights are as follows:

                                         2008                   2007

Turnover                           £1,247,188             £1,295,119
Turnover growth                         (3.7%)                21.66%
Net profit margin                           -                      -
(Loss)/Profit before tax            (£190,623)             (£153,092)

The Group continued its strategy of creating a broad based financial services group during the first half of year and had a pipeline of interesting projects that it was pursuing. However, with the slowdown in economic activity and the consequent illiquidity in the credit and equity markets, the Board decided at the beginning of the third quarter to focus on maintaining revenues from its current businesses, improving the service to existing clients and implementing a number of overhead reductions across the Group.

The Board believes that, while the first half of 2009 will continue to present extremely challenging trading conditions, it has in place the infrastructure to take advantage of organic opportunities as they arise in the second half of the year.

MODIFICATION TO THE REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
TO THE MEMBERS OF I-FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP PLC

The report of the auditors to the members of I-Financial Services Group Plc included the following paragraph in relation to the company's ability to continue as a going concern:

Emphasis of matter - Going concern

In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not qualified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in the principal accounting policies on pages 6 and 7 of the financial statements concerning the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The adequacy of working capital, along with the other matters explained in the accounting policies to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company was unable to continue as a going concern.
