Interim Results for the 6 months ending 31 July 2007

Leo Insurance Services plc today announces the Interim Results for the six
months to 31 July 2007.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

I have the pleasure of advising you that the profit before tax for the six
months ended July 31 2007 amounted to #17,324.  This compares to a loss in the
corresponding period for 2006 of #176,725. This loss was, however, post an
exceptional item regarding share options in the sum of #169,912 which is not
repeated in the current figures. Accordingly, on a like for like basis, the six
months to July 2006 showed a loss of #6,813, compared to the profit of #17,324
as stated above.

This increase in operating profitability was possible despite a slight decrease
in revenues to #140,747 from #150,789 in the six months to July 2006. The major
driver in the increase in operating profitability was a reduction of the cost of
sales in the period to July 2007 to #74,998 from #112,775 in the corresponding
period for 2006.

In September 2007 Safeland Plc with whom Leo has a long term contract announced
that it had raised an additional #55m of equity to expand its Property Fund.
This equity when matched with bank funding will enable further property
purchases in excess of #200m to be made by the Fund.

Under the long term contract referred to above all of these buildings will be
insured by Leo's subsidiary Grafton Insurance Services Ltd which therefore gives
me confidence that profits will continue to rise.

Leo Insurance Services Plc
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
for the six months ended 31 July 2007
                     
     
1    BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial information contained in this interim report does not constitute
statutory accounts within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
The figures for the period ended 31 January 2007 have been extracted from the
audited statutory accounts. The interim results, which have not been audited or
reviewed by the company's auditors, have been prepared in accordance with
applicable International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB).  These standards are also collectively referred to as "IFRS".

Statutory accounts for year ending 31 January 2007 (prepared in accordance with
UK GAAP) were prepared and filed with the Registrar of Companies and received an
unqualified audit report.

The interim report was approved by the Board of Directors on 30 October 2007.

Copies of this statement are being sent to all shareholders and are available to
the public for collection at the company's Registered Office at 94-96 Great
North Road, London N2 0NL.

     
2    TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

All listed companies in the EU are required to present their consolidated
financial statements for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007
in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. Therefore, the group's
consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 January 2008 will be
presented on this basis with IFRS comparatives. These interim financial
statements have been prepared on the basis of the IFRS accounting policies
expected to be adopted in the year end consolidated financial statements.
Reconciliations have been provided to UK GAAP and these, together with an
explanation of the resulting changes in accounting policies, are set out in
notes 6 and 7.

Although there is a now a fairly stable platform, standards continue to evolve
and those currently in issue and endorsed by the EU are subject to
interpretation by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (IFRIC) and further standards may be issued and endorsed by the EU
before 31 January 2008. These uncertainties could result in the need to change
the basis of accounting or presentation of financial information from that
applied in the preparation of this document.

The group is required to apply its IFRS accounting policies retrospectively to
determine the opening IFRS balance sheet at the transition date of 1 February
2006 and the comparative information for the year ended 31 January 2007.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use                      
of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are
based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual
results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

6    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UNDER IFRS


Basis of accounting

Prior to the introduction of IFRS, the group had prepared its financial
statements under United Kingdom accounting standards. As a result of adopting
IFRS it has been necessary to change some of the group's accounting policies and
these are detailed below.


Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of
Leo plc, its subsidiaries and the group's interest in jointly controlled
interest accounted for on a basis of proportionate consolidation, up to 31 July
2007.


Joint ventures

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the group and other parties
undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control.

Where a group company undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements
directly, the group's share of jointly controlled assets and any liabilities
incurred jointly with other ventures are recognised in the financial statements
of the group and classified according to their nature. Liabilities and expenses
incurred directly in respect of interests in jointly controlled assets are
accounted for on an accrual basis.

Joint venture arrangements which involve the establishment of a separate entity
in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled
entities. The group reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using
the proportionate consolidation method of accounting.  The group combines its
share of the joint venture's individual income and expenses, assets and
liabilities and cash flows on a line by line basis with similar items in the
group's financial statements.

     
7    EXPLANATION OF TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

This is the group's first interim report prepared in accordance with IFRS.  The
only effect of the transition to IFRS is the method of consolidation of the
Joint Venture, which has proportionally consolidated the assets and liabilities
and income and expenses of the Joint Venture rather than showing the gross
assets and liabilities within non-current assets and the share of the Joint
Venture's operating profits. The reconciliations of balance sheets and equity at
31 January 2007 (date of last UK GAAP financial statements) and 31 July 2006
(date of last UK GAAP interim report) are set out overleaf. As there is no
effect on equity as a result of the transition, no reconciliation of the opening
position at 1 February 2006 (date of transition to IFRS) has been presented. In
addition, there is a reconciliation of profit for the six month period to 31
July 2006 and the year ended 31 July 2007.

These reconciliations will enable comparison of the 2007 interim figures under
IFRS with those published under UK GAAP in the 2006 interim report and the
annual report for the year ended 31 January 2007.
