-- Profit before tax ("PBT") before amortisation and share based payment charges GBP1.95m (2009: GBP2.93m)
-- Profit after tax GBP0.32m (2009: GBP0.14m)
-- Net debt GBP6.07m (GBP7.26m 31 March 2010); undrawn banking facilities of GBP3.28 million

Commenting on the results, Stephen Davidson, Chairman of Digital Marketing Group plc, said: "We continue to operate in a difficult and uncertain market place however we have still produced positive results with an increase in profit after tax and reduced debt."
Ben Langdon, Chief Executive of Digital Marketing Group plc, added: "The results for the six months are reflective of a mixed performance. Our ecommerce division delivered exceptional growth in profits of 28% yr/yr. Voice marketing also delivered strong levels of new business and achieved significant growth in both gross profits and PBT yr/yr. Conversely, our data services division continues to underperform."
"We have reduced the number of office locations in our marketing agency division and this will show positive results through efficiency and resource allocation for the benefit of clients."
"We are in a strong position to take advantage of recoveries within our market and should also continue to see organic growth within our ecommerce division."

INTERIM RESULTS
Our profit before tax for the six months ended 30 September 2010 was GBP0.6 million compared to GBP0.7 million for the six months ended 30 September 2009 and our profit after tax, as a result of a reduced tax charge, increased from GBP0.1 million to GBP0.3 million. Gross profits increased from GBP17.4 million to GBP17.9 million.
The performance from our ecommerce division has continued to produce excellent results. Gross profit has increased by 68% and profit before tax has increased by 28%. This reflects a movement in the retail sector to establish business critical systems for their online offering. Our team are strategically placed to take advantage of this shift. They are a Tier 1 IBM reseller for IBM's global leading ecommerce platform, Websphere.
As I stated in the annual report and accounts, recovery in our DMG pillar and in particular our data services division is linked to the speed of recovery in financial services and we have still to see any signs of improvement in this sector. In addition, continuing delays in client decisions within our marketing agency division has meant our new business conversion has not been as we had anticipated.
During the period we received partial settlement on a contractual obligation from a client who has gone into liquidation, amounting to GBP0.9 million, which has been disclosed within other income.
Operating expenses increased as a result of the increase in staff costs within our ecommerce business in order to deliver the successful increase in its revenues. We have consolidated the 20:20 agency business around our largest office based in Newbury, Berkshire, which has resulted in the closure of the Bristol office and the relocation of a number of staff from our Swindon office. This will mean a more efficient process and allocation of resource to client assignments.
Net debt has been reduced by GBP1.2 million in the six months to 30 September 2010 to GBP6.1 million. The cost of financing this debt has fallen from GBP375,000 for the six months ended 30 September 2009 to GBP256,000 for the six months under review.
Recent client wins include Royal Bank of Scotland, Promethean, Homeserve Weight Watchers and Informa World.
Outlook
There is still uncertainty within our market sector which is delaying our return to significant growth. We are managing our cost base robustly to ensure it is appropriate for the business but are mindful of the fact that we need to invest to protect the assets that we have. We expect to produce profitable operating results above those reported in the first six months.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO DIGITAL MARKETING GROUP PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the interim financial information in the interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2010 which comprises the consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated interim balance sheet, the consolidated interim cash flow statement and the consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1 to 11. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the interim financial information.
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 interim 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 interim financial information 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 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The interim financial information in the interim report has been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation in note 2.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the interim financial information in the interim 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.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information in the interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2010 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of accounting described in note 2.
