IMS Maxims ("the Company" or "IMS")
Final Results for the Year Ended 31 March 2008
Chairman's Statement
We have continued to invest in the expansion of our applications portfolio and in the enhancement of our underlying architecture and
technology. IMS MAXIMS can now offer an immediate means of delivering to UK National Health Service ("NHS") Trusts the key, priority
applications described in the recent NHS Informatics Review as "The Clinical 5". As we pointed out last year, the situation in our major
market of the NHS has continued to evolve. The Connecting for Health ("CfH") programme is now openly experiencing difficulty in meeting its
timetable for rolling out solutions to these needs. The NHS is demanding more flexibility in the delivery of the services to Trusts. This is
evidenced by the recent cancellation of a contract for the South Region held by Fujitsu, the Local Service Provider ("LSP"). Despite the
fact that IMS applications can meet the needs of Trusts now, the complex contractual arrangements between CfH and its LSPs make it extremely
difficult for us to make progress in this area.
CfH have now put in place supplier framework agreements - known as the Additional Supply Capability and Capacity ("ASCC") - offering a
wide range of IT goods and services, including clinical applications, at national, regional and local levels. We are listed as a
sub-supplier to 6 named suppliers. Furthermore, our wholly owned subsidiary, 3C Healthcare Partnership Limited ("3C"), has been appointed as
a supplier in its own right. This latter appointment not only creates a further channel for us to offer our own products to the NHS, but
also allows us the possibility to work with proven partner companies in the NHS in offering a broader range of non-competitive products.
However, it is not clear just how much business will be done through the ASCC agreements, and we are disappointed that there has not yet
been any meaningful level of enquiry via this channel from potential purchasers. The Irish Health Services Executive is under intense public
and political scrutiny and a major restructuring of the organisation is in progress. In these circumstances we do not anticipate that there will be any serious level of new business from this sector in
the near future. In view of the above, we have turned our focus towards the private healthcare provider sector. Early signs are very
encouraging and we have signed framework contracts with GHG, the biggest private supplier to the UK healthcare sector, and with Care (UK)
Limited, the fourth largest. Discussions with remaining private suppliers are proceeding positively. We see this as an important shift in
direction for IMS, from which we expect to generate further revenue in 2009.
In other noteworthy events, we successfully completed delivery of our contracted requirements via British Telecom to Barking, Havering
and Redbridge NHS Trust during the year, which has had a positive effect on the second half of the year. Also, in March we announced the
acquisition of Preview Health Limited, a small provider of specialist information systems. This transaction has been structured to allow IMS
to earn a future royalty stream - with no risk - and we will pursue other opportunities to replicate this model if they arise.

Operating and Financial review
Turnover for the year of £4,734,000 (2007: £5,033,000) produced an operating profit of £735,000 (2007: £1,343,000). The group profit for
the year after interest and taxation was £10,000 (2007: £498,000).
There was a tax credit earned in respect of research and development of £265,000 recorded for the year (2007: £nil) and tax losses
available to offset future profits are estimated at £8,688,000 (2007: £5,800,000).
The basic earnings per share for the year was 0.00p (2007: 0.20p).
Total liabilities of the group of £12,570,000 (2007: £12,047,000) include current liabilities of £5,994,000 (2007: £5,564,000). During
the year average headcount increased by 4% reflecting increased sales activity and a low staff turnover.
The statement of cash flows illustrates that there was an decrease in cash for the year of £519,000 (2007: increase of £694,000). This
is stated after the inflow of cash from operating activities of £291,000 (2007: inflow of £472,000) and the outflow of cash for interest
payments of £1,120,000 (2007: £958,000).

1 Basis of information in the preliminary announcement
The financial information in this preliminary announcement does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the periods ended 31
March 2008 or 31 March 2007 but is derived from those accounts.
Statutory Accounts for 2007 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those for 2008 will be delivered following the
Company's annual general meeting. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a
reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and (iii) did not contain a
statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
The preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted under International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the first time with a transition date of 1 April 2006. The disclosures required by IFRS 1 "First-time
Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" concerning the transition from UK GAAP to IFRS can be found in the Interim
Announcement for the period ended 30 September 2007.
2 Segmental information
The business is organised and managed according to geographical segment. Each segment represents a strategic business unit that operates
in a different location.
Transfer prices between business segments are set on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. The
group's geographical segments are determined by the location of the group's assets and operations. Turnover is analysed by origination not
destination. The location of clients materially matches the origination of revenue.

5 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the group by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

The exercise price of the options is in excess of the share price as at the year end 31 March 2007 and year end 31 March 2008, therefore
these options are anti-dilutive and as such have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.
6 Aim Compliance Committee
In accordance with AIM Rule 31 the Company is required to have in place sufficient procedures, resources and controls to enable its
compliance with the AIM Rules; seek advice from its nominated adviser ("Nomad") regarding its compliance with the AIM Rules whenever
appropriate and take that advice into account; provide the Company's Nomad with any information it requests in order for the Nomad to carry
out is responsibilities under the AIM Rules for Companies and the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers; ensure that each of the Company's
directors accepts full responsibility, collectively and individually, for compliance with the AIM Rules; and ensure that each director
discloses without delay all information which the Company needs in order to comply with AIM Rule 17 (Disclosure of Miscellaneous
Information) insofar as that information is known to the director or could with reasonable diligence be ascertained by the director.
In order to ensure that these obligations are being discharged, the Board has established a committee of the Board (the "AIM
Committee"), chaired by David MacDonald, a non executive director of the Company. Having reviewed relevant Board papers, and met with the
Company's Executive Board to ensure that such is the case, the AIM Committee is satisfied that the Company's obligations under AIM Rule 31
have been satisfied during the period under review.
