Adrian Bradshaw, Chairman of Atlantic Global commented: 
"The first six months of 2009 represent a period in which Atlantic Global's 
sales and marketing efforts were divided between our new OnDemand product and 
the traditional license sales model. In addition, overall economic conditions 
and the consequent reductions in customers' IT spending has impacted our half 
year results. 
 
 
"The introduction of the OnDemand product, together with its evolution, is 
considered by the Directors to be the key to Atlantic Global's future 
profitability. In particular, the enhancement of the product into areas other 
than PPM will enable the core product to have wider applications in relation to 
our customer's requirements. 
 
 
"The Group expects an improvement during the second half of the year based on 
the sales pipeline and ongoing discussions with existing and potential new 
customers."

Chairman's Interim Statement 
 
 
Introduction 
The first six months of 2009 represent a period in which Atlantic Global's sales 
and marketing efforts were split between our new OnDemand product and the 
traditional license sales model. The Board reports, on account of this change in 
the Group's business model, that revenue was lower in the first half of 2009 
despite the Group's continued introduction of the OnDemand product to both 
existing and new customers. In addition, overall economic conditions and the 
consequent reductions in customers' IT spending has impacted our half year 
results. 
 
 
Revenue was lower than in the comparative period and, as already disclosed in 
our trading statement dated 24 July 2009, the Group produced a loss before 
taxation. 
 
 
Financial Review 
Atlantic Global's losses before taxation for the six months to 30 June 2009 were 
GBP148,000, compared to a profit before taxation of GBP201,000 in the first six 
months of 2008. Revenue was significantly down to GBP647,000 compared to 
GBP1,120,000 in the same period of 2008. 
 
 
Profit has been stated after sales and marketing expenditure of GBP335,000 for 
the period (2008: GBP443,000). The cost savings and redeployment of resources 
that the Group has continued to make during 2009 are in preparation for 
significant delivery of the OnDemand business model, which has started. Demand 
for Atlantic Global's consultancy services have reduced due to a decrease in 
customers' requirements when buying our products as a service and delivery of 
the products as Software as a Service (SaaS). 
 
 
In the first half of the year, the Group has continued to maintain its 
investment in research and development with costs of GBP202,000 (2008: 
GBP210,000) which ensured the successful delivery of the new OnDemand suite of 
products. The Group expects these products to contribute more to revenues during 
the second half of 2009. 
 
 
Losses per share were 0.53p for the six-month period (2008 earning per share: 
0.66p). 
 
 
 
 
As at 30 June 2009, the Group had cash balances of GBP2,265,000 (2008: 
GBP2,046,000). Cash balances have increased by GBP106,000 since the Group's 
financial year end of December 2008. 
 
 
Operating Review 
During the first half of 2009, Atlantic Global launched its new OnDemand 
product. This launch represents a major technical achievement and we expect this 
will transform the Group's commercial services and sales and marketing model 
going forward. 
 
 
The Group is pleased to report that ADP, Building Services Design, Cordis Bright 
Ltd, CRU Strategies Ltd, EMS Group, Enzygo Ltd, Geotechnical Instruments (UK) 
Ltd, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Man Investments, MavenWire (Europe) Ltd, Plain 
Healthcare, Red Embedded Consulting, SeaRoc and VILT Portugal SA have all become 
new OnDemand customers. Orders received for additional products from existing 
customers include TRL Technology, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, AIRCOM 
International Limited and GroupM Media Edge. Strategic customers have also 
renewed their support service contracts. 
 
 
The Group has invested significant time and effort on developing and delivering 
a cost effective OnDemand Service which include the following major improvements 
to both the software and our processes: 
 
 
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ 
| Multi-Tenancy | OnDemand customers use the same website to access their   | 
|               | own implementations, resulting in a more cost effective   | 
|               | use of our OnDemand infrastructure                        | 
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ 
| Automated     | A simple yet powerful function that allows customers to   | 
| Data Load     | load their own data, meaning that our software is now     | 
|               | truly "self service"                                      | 
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ 
| Integrated    | Training videos and tutorials to support customer use of  | 
| Training      | all key screens in the product, reducing support calls    | 
|               | and ensuring efficient use of the software functionality  | 
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ 
| Further       | Over 140 enhancements to make the product easier to use   | 
| Enhancements  | were released in July 2009                                | 
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ 
| OnDemand      | Allows Atlantic Global to monitor the levels of activity  | 
| Analytics     | on each implementation, an important evaluation measure   | 
|               | when customers are on trial                               | 
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These changes will improve both the speed and ease of adoption of our products 
for customers whilst significantly reducing the administration and support 
overheads and cost of sales for the Group. It is now possible to offer 
attractive promotions to new customers at a relatively low cost to Atlantic 
Global. The Group continues to refine the product and the supporting services to 
ensure that customers find the service easy to evaluate and adopt. 
 
 
Atlantic Global is currently working with its customers to extend the product in 
two key areas, client billing and financial and resource forecasting in the next 
six months, so that it provides improved support for the financial management 
functions within those organisations. 
 
 
Client Billing 
The offering is being extended to incorporate a powerful Client Billing & 
Contract Management Solution. This will manage client engagement contracts, the 
addition and maintenance of purchase orders, invoice creation and will be fully 
integrated into the existing time and expense and planning modules. Lastly, it 
will manage the contract "Book of Work" which is the outstanding work to be 
completed, allowing financial forecasting and risk management to take place. The 
product is expected to be released in October 2009. 
 
 
Financial & Resource Forecasting 
Financial & Resource Forecasting is an extension to the current Portfolio 
Project Management Solution (PPM) which is used to manage project and programme 
budgets. There is an increasing need in all organisations to improve financial 
forecasting and resource capability management, which is particularly 
challenging in large IT departments where: 
 
 
+----+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -  | Cost centres in the central Finance Systems are setup at a senior     | 
|    | management level. These systems do not provide the detailed           | 
|    | flexibility and support required to manage hundreds of people across  | 
|    | hundreds of Projects.                                                 | 
+----+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -  | The Finance Systems do not provide the ability to model the skills    | 
|    | and shape of the teams which are constantly changing in response to   | 
|    | the demands from the rest of the business, changes in technology,     | 
|    | changes to outsourcing and partnering strategies or when the          | 
|    | organisation is engaged in Merger and Acquisition activities.         | 
+----+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
 
 
 
Identifying a senior sponsor or buyer is a recurring issue in the sales cycle 
when selling our Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution.  These two 
initiatives, client billing and Financial and Resource Forecasting, are designed 
to change the focus of our product offering so that it will integrate with any 
Central Finance System thereby making PPM a key component. The target audience 
for this solution are Chief Executives, Finance Directors, Operations Directors 
or IT Directors who wish to improve their financial forecasts and the financial 
performance of their organisations.  This functionality is scheduled for release 
in November 2009. 
 
 
Current Trading 
Trading in the third quarter of 2009 remains challenging given the ongoing 
economic recession and the factors outlined above. However, the Group expects an 
improvement during the second half of the year based on the sales pipeline and 
ongoing discussions with existing and potential new customers. 
 
 
Dividend 
The Directors do not intend to propose an interim dividend for this half year. 
 
 
Outlook 
The introduction of the OnDemand product, together with its evolution, is 
considered by the Directors to be the key to Atlantic Global's future 
profitability. In particular, the enhancement of the product into areas other 
than PPM will enable the core product to have wider applications in relation to 
our customer's requirements. 
 
 
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the staff who have demonstrated a 
significant commitment to the Group during the development and introduction of 
the OnDemand product.

Notes to the interim report 
 
 
 
 
Basis of preparation 
 
 
  1.  The interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of the 
  recognition and measurement requirements of adopted IFRSs as at 30 June 2009 
  that are effective (or available for early adoption) at 31 December 2009. Based 
  on these adopted IFRSs, the Directors have applied the accounting policies, 
  which they expect to apply when the annual IFRS financial statements are 
  prepared for the year ending 31 December 2009. 
 
 
 
The group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 (Interim Financial Statements) in 
preparing these interim financial statements and therefore the interim financial 
information is not in full compliance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards. 
 
 
The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute 
statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The 
figures for the year ended 31 December 2008 have been extracted from the 
statutory financial statements which have been filed with the Registrar of 
Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified 
and did not contain a statement under Section 237(2) of the Companies Act 1985 
 
 
The presentation of these interim financial statements has been changed to that 
required by the revised IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements'.  This has 
resulted in the inclusion of a Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income 
and changes to the formatting of the Consolidated Statement of Changes in 
Equity. 
 
 
The adoption of IFRS 8 has not changed the segments that are disclosed in these 
interim financial statements because in the previous annual and interim 
financial statements, segments were already based on the internal management 
reporting information that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision 
maker. There is considered to be only one reportable segment of the group. 
 
 
The group's accounting policies remain as stated in the group's full annual 
accounts for the year ended 31 December 2008 (except for the adoption of IAS 
1Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007) and IFRS 8 Operating 
Segments). 
 
 
Tax and EPS 
 
 
2.    The tax charge for the period is based on the anticipated effective tax 
rate for the year to 31 
 

       December 2009. 
 
 
3.    Basic loss or earnings per share are calculated on the loss for the period 
of GBP120,000 (2008: profit of 
 

     GBP151,000) and on 22,663,350 ordinary 
shares, being the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
 

     in issue 
in the period (2008: 22,899,350 ordinary shares). 
 
 
 
Independent review report to Atlantic Global Plc 
 
 
Introduction 
We have been engaged by the company to review the financial information in the 
half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2009 which 
comprises the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated 
Balance Sheet, the Summarised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, the Statement of 
Changes in Equity and the related notes. 
 
 
 We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial 
report which comprises only the Chairman's Interim Statement and considered 
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with 
the information in the condensed set of financial statements. 
 
 
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained 
in ISRE (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information 
performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. Our review work has been 
undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required 
to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest 
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone 
other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the 
conclusion we have formed. 
 
 
Directors' responsibilities 
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved 
by, the directors. The AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange require that the 
accounting policies and presentation applied to the financial information in the 
half-yearly financial report are consistent with those which will be adopted in 
the annual accounts having regard to the accounting standards applicable for 
such accounts. 
 
 
As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are 
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The 
financial information in the half-yearly financial report has been prepared in 
accordance with the basis of preparation in Note 1. 
 
 
Our responsibility 
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the financial 
information in the half-yearly financial report based on our review. 
 
 
Scope of review 
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review 
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information 
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing 
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial 
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for 
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review 
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in 
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and 
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware 
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we 
do not express an audit opinion. 
 
 
Conclusion 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe 
that the financial information in the half-yearly financial report for the six 
months ended 30 June 2009 is not prepared, in all material respects, in 
accordance with the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
