Revenue more than doubled (113% increase) from the same period in F07 with
product related revenue increasing 194%. Revenue levels were maintained from 2nd
half F07. Moving into the 2nd half F08, approximately $7.6m committed revenue is
expected to be recognised.

While the consolidated entity did not achieve a profit for the half, the
financial performance continues to improve with a turnaround of over $4.2m (87%)
from the same period in F07 and a 38% reduction in the 2nd half 2007 loss. This
improvement occurred despite the 6 month result being adversely impacted by
$0.65m in costs that are not expected to recur.

Business Highlights

   *New projects were secured including Calyon New York and LCH.Clearnet
    Group
   *Successful completion of 2 significant projects - Federal Home Loan Bank
    of Pittsburgh and Man Group (plc)
   *Progression of the delivery of key projects on time and on budget
    including Royal Bank of Canada and Queensland Treasury Corporation.
   *Restructure of the Board and use of consultancy services to reduce
    overheads on an annualised basis by more that $0.44m
   *Strengthening of the balance sheet with an equity placement of 16m shares
    to raise $1.44m

Business Outlook

There is increased global interest in the Razor product with currently 4
qualified prospects of which all have been shortlisted with proof of concepts
complete. In addition another two "requests for proposal" for the Razor product
have been received and are in the process of completion.

The Razor product is achieving increasing market penetration and its global
reputation is growing with each success. Discussion on qualified prospects leads
the Board and Management to be cautiously optimistic that further sales will be
secured in the second half of 2008 and with the focus on cost management this
should enable the financial performance to continue to improve. The Board is
monitoring the financial performance and will, if and when appropriate, update
the market prior to the release of the full year results.

The consolidated entity did not achieve a profit for the half, however the
financial performance continues to improve with a turnaround of over $4.2m (87%)
from the same period in F07 and a 38% reduction in the 2nd half 2007 loss. This
improvement occurred despite the 6 month result being adversely impacted by the
following costs that are not expected to recur:

   *Once off costs of $0.21m in relation to 'make good' costs associated with
    the Sydney office relocation and a change in the timing of recognition of
    commissions and other expenses
   *$0.27m added cost associated with the previous larger board size and
    consultancy services as compared to the current structure
   *Foreign exchange losses of $0.17m. Since 31 December 2007 the
    consolidated entity has restructured its global banking and is currently
    considering local currency banking arrangements that allow group off-sets to
    minimise foreign exchange exposures

Revenue more than doubled (113% increase) from the same period in F07 with
product related revenue increasing 194%. Revenue levels were maintained from 2nd
half F07. The consolidated entity continued to redirect resources normally
engaged in deriving "other revenue" to meet the exigencies associated with
pursuit of global opportunities for the Razor product in lieu of engaging added
resources before projects were secured. The 2nd half F08 committed revenue is
approximately $7.6m.

The consolidated entity's current ratio has improved during the period to 1.66
(1.35 at 30 June 2007). Although cash and short term deposits have reduced there
has been an increase in debtors and accrued revenue and these balances will be
collected in the second half of the 2008 financial year.

Outlook

The Razor product is achieving increasing market penetration and its global
reputation is growing with each success. Discussion on qualified prospects leads
Board and Management to be cautiously optimistic that further sales will be
secured in the second half of 2008 and with the focus on cost management should
enable the financial performance to continue to improve. The Board is monitoring
the financial performance and will, if and when appropriate, update the market
prior to the release of the full year results.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

Since 31 December 2007 the consolidated entity has decided to relocate its
Sydney premises. An estimate of the cost of 'make good' in respect of its
current premises was provided in full in the half year accounts.

which immediately follows the Report on the Half Year Condensed Financial
Report.

Notes to the Half-Year Financial Statements

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally
included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to
provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial
position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as
the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the Annual
Financial Report of IT&e Limited as at 30 June 2007, which has been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian
Accounting Standards.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered
together with any public announcements made by IT&e Limited and its controlled
entities during the half-year ended 31 December 2007 in accordance with the
continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The half-year consolidated financial report is a general-purpose financial
report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 including Australian Accounting Standards, AASB 134
"Interim Financial Reporting" and other mandatory professional reporting
requirements.

The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis.

The half-year financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values
are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) unless otherwise stated
under the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/100. The
company is an entity to which the class order applies.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has
been treated as a discrete reporting period.

(b) Significant Accounting Policies

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the
same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2007 except for the adoption of amending standards mandatory for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007. These amendments have had no
impact on the group's accounting policies.

(c) Basis of Consolidation

The half-year consolidated financial statements comprise the financial
statements of IT&e Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2007 ('the
Group').

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group comprises of the following geographical segments:

   * Australia, India, USA, UK.

The following table presents revenue and profit information regarding
geographical segments for the half-year periods ended 31 December 2007 and 31

NextSet

The NextSet business was acquired in 2004 and brought skilled resources as well
as the PTX product. The PTX product is a multi-asset web-based transaction
platform that enables banks and financial institutions to define products and
buy and sell these products with corporate treasurers and institutional clients.
Customers include the NAB, ANZ and Queensland Treasury Corp.

TMS

The TMS acquisition was completed in 2004 to provide a presence in North America
with an office in New York, executives well connected in the financial services
industry in the region, as well as Monarque, a niche product consisting of
multiple integrated modules designed for automating the front, middle and
back-office functions in the trading and treasury management environment.

Halcyon

Halcyon was acquired in October 2006. Based in Melbourne, Halcyon provides risk
management and financial markets consulting services. The acquisition was funded
through a mixture of cash and shares and in December 2007, having achieved
performance targets, the 2nd tranche payment was made comprising $301,125 of
cash and 3,017,455 shares. The 3rd tranche due on 30 November 2008 comprises a
further $301,125 and 821,250 shares to be issued. These earn out payments have
been fully reflected in the value of the acquisition and related goodwill above
due to the probability of being achieved.

7. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS

The following share options were issued during the period under the Employee
Share Option Plan:


   * 30 September 2007, 950,000 options to employees;

The exercise price of the options is 20 cents which was above the market price
of the shares on grant date.

The above options are five-year call options and vest over a three-year period
in 36 consecutive monthly instalments; however no options can be exercised in
the 12 months after the date of grant. The following table lists the inputs to
the model used for the half years ended 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2006:

                                  31 Dec 2007       31 Dec 2006

                                  Monte Carlo       Monte Carlo

The estimated fair value of each option issued during the period (at grant date)
is $0.05.

As a result of the resignation of Greg Meekings from the Board on 14 November
2007, a reversal of $77,668 in share based payment expense has been reflected in
the consolidated profit and loss accounts. This relates to 2 million options
issued to him on 4 December 2006 as they could not be exercised as they were
within the first 12 months of issue.
