Chairman's Statement

2007 was an exciting year for the Group and we are pleased to report a healthy
set of results. Revenue totalled £18.3m (2006: £11.9m) with profit before tax
and share based payments of £3.1m (2006: £2.0m). Closing net assets amounted to
£10.1m prior to a reduction of £1.9m for shares held within Treasury and the
Libertas Capital Employee Benefit Trust (2006 net assets: £7.7m). The earnings
per share before exceptionals are 4.87 pence (2006: 3.36 pence).

The Group's strategy is to provide a range of financial services to corporate
and institutional clients in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East in
the sectors of Renewable Energy, Energy (including oil and gas and natural
resources), Infrastructure, Real Estate, Healthcare, Technology and Telecom. As
explained in more detail in the Chief Executive Officer's Review, we now have
established operations in Asia and the Middle East.

STRATEGY

The Group has enjoyed four successful years on AIM. Our strategy can be
summarised as follows:-

• Our business is based on core values and strengths which we believe
differentiates Libertas Capital from its competitors and gives us a competitive
advantage. We aim to provide a high level of customer service that will result
in long-term client relationships based on the principles of openness,
innovation and creativity.

• To offer a breadth of financial services with a number of international
locations

• To offer senior management experience and expertise in investment
banking, broking and financial services

• To enhance shareholder value and generate good long term returns to
shareholders

• To exploit both internal and external synergies to grow the business
organically and through appropriate mergers/acquisitions and JVs

• To add specialist financial services operations where they bring annuity
income or synergies.

RESULTS

Our results are strong with revenue of £18.3m and a pre tax profit before share
based payments of £3.1m. Share based payments amount to £0.9m being a charge in
respect of the fair value of awards granted in shares, in accordance with IFRS 2
'Share Based Payments'. There is no cash effect for this sum. We completed some
30 transactions in IPOs, M&A and fundraisings. The Securities business has
continued to increase in depth and quality with the offering of both
institutional sponsored research through Securities and independent corporate
sponsored research through our independent brand name, Equity Growth Research.
Securities also offer a dedicated sales distribution team catering for
institutions and high net worth individuals. We have enhanced further the value
of underlying transactions completed.

DIRECTORS

It is with great sadness that we record that Mr Sven Skarendahl, a non-
executive board member, passed away on 25th January 2008 after a period of
illness. Sven has played an important role to Libertas Capital as a senior
adviser since the AIM flotation in July 2004 and since October 2004 as a
non-executive director and non-executive chairman of Libertas Capital Nordic AB.
Sven was a deeply respected and admired colleague who will be greatly missed by
all who knew and worked with him.

EMPLOYEES

The results of our operating businesses are determined largely by the efforts
and commitment of our employees who are one of the principal assets of the
Group.

Many of our employees are already shareholders, participating in the award of
shares through an Employee Benefit Trust. Our philosophy has always been to
motivate and incentivise all our employees by way of equity participation.

CORE VALUES

At the time of the formation of the Group, we set out our core values which we
believe distinguish the Group from our competition and give us a competitive
advantage. The Group aims to provide a high level of client service that will
result in long term relationships with clients based on transparency, integrity
and innovation. These values include independence, industry focus, depth and
experience, and geographical spread of operations.

DIVIDENDS

The Board did not recommend a dividend for the full year 2007 as we believe that
it is important to retain the funds in order to grow our businesses. The Board
believes that a progressive dividend policy will be pursued as the Group
continues to develop.

OUTLOOK

Despite market conditions being difficult in the second half of 2007, we have
demonstrated the strength of our business through our performance in 2007. With
the visibility of our transaction pipeline, we look forward to 2008 with
confidence.

Chief Executive Officer's Review

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

The Group made strong progress in 2007 as reflected in our full year's results.
All areas of our businesses have been robust and there has been a significant
increase in revenue generation, with revenue in 2007 of £18.3m compared with
£11.9m in 2006. Profit before tax and share based payments amounted to £3.1m in
2007 compared with £2.0m in 2006.

In summary, 2007 has seen Libertas Capital develop significantly with
implementation of its strategy to strengthen further both the corporate finance
and securities businesses. Libertas Capital is now able to take advantage of
these opportunities.

This company makes strategic and principal investments in our core sectors.

EMPLOYEES

We continue to recognise the importance of developing a culture where employees'
interests are closely aligned with those of the Group's shareholders. At
present, the Directors and employees own a significant proportion of

the Group's shares and we wish to continue to incentivise employees with both
share options and the award of shares. It is our firm belief that incentivising
and retaining our key employees is in the best interests of the Group's
shareholders. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of
staff for their efforts in achieving these results and look forward to 2008.

OUTLOOK

The 2007 results demonstrate a significant improvement in the quality of our
underlying and continuing businesses. These results are particularly impressive
given the difficult market conditions in the second half of 2007. The market
place for 2008 is exciting for us at Libertas Capital, not least as continued
investment in key staff and implementation of our strategy is bearing fruit. The
visibility for 2008 looks promising particularly in our core sectors of
Renewable Energy, Energy, Infrastructure, Real Estate, Healthcare, Technology
and Telecom. We have seen a satisfactory start to the year and with some notable
mandates on board, we are confident that we will continue to increase the number
of corporate clients in 2008. As ever we recognise that market conditions are
inherently volatile and will remain cautiously optimistic about the near term
market outlook and confident about Libertas Capital's long term prospects.

Big drop today, any news I haven't caught?

[nickcduk] 04/6/2007 10:52

Sell off on lowish volume has made LBR too cheap imo. Picked up 10k this morning and will add more on any drop lower. Its far too cheap at current levels with directors buying only last month. Strong asset backing to boot including a chunky amount of cash helps the case.

Mentioned in todays IC - BUY @ 41.5p.

IC View= "Four directors bought more shares following the results and they remain a buy."

M.

[hectorp] 06/3/2007 13:41

So growth from last year is nil... on increased turnover. 'Encouraging' sounds fairly insipid too. Yet directors have just added to their holdings.

Intersting share,though, on low market cap relative to the turnover, if! they could increase profits to £3M next year, the share price could rise by up to 50%. We need stronger than 'indications'. Of course they can't state 'full order book' its not that kind of business.
Incidentally: I see they have a buy note out on one of my shares, CFU. anyone give me few sentences from it ?

[moogies] 16/2/2007 12:34

Just noticed a reference to LBR in this article published a few weeks back.

M.



"The best-performing broker is Vancouver's Canaccord Capital, which has generated an average return of £1,954, aided by Imperial Energy, a Russian oil explorer whose shares are up 2,448 per cent since floating. The other top five stockbrokers are Investec Securities, Libertas Capital, Teather & Greenwood and Numis Securities. The 24 brokers covered by the survey - which is based on transactions defined by AIM as admission or readmission of shares - together raised about £12 billion for clients in the three years to December 2006.

[this_is_me] 22/12/2006 12:30

It looks to be doing well.

[beta_adjusted] 22/12/2006 10:32

Any comments on this stock? I used to follow it closely but somewhat out of touch now. Assuming 2% fees (a stab in the dark), the new deals will have earned them revenues of 2% * £60m. Not sure what effect on profitability ... I expect costs are largely fixed with a small variable element, so its possible that the profits will have flowed to the bottom line.

Then again, this is a relatively young company and I would be feeling a bit concerned about potential options programs etc. to be announced. Although I view the prospects and sector as very attractive in the longer term, I'm concerned about dodgy aim listings, particularly in the resource sector, and fear an AIM IPO slowdown next year which would affect this company quite badly.

Also, the trading volume in this stock is negligeable ... £15k today means I'd be inclined to take any price action to be almost meaningless.

Any thoughts?

ged5:. Only just dropped back here and seen your comments on FDMG you certainly called it right - could however be a bit toppy now?

[ged5] 19/9/2006 11:29

Pug,

Thanks for your thoughts here. Noticed your comments on the BOI thread. I've found FDMG an interesting little company which you might cast your eye over. It has risen a little recently but may have a bit more to go. Other than the online gaming sector which is extremely hairy at the moment it was one of a handful of companies which seemed to be good value at the moment.

[ged5] 19/9/2006 10:57

The 50000 buy last evening followed by the 31000 buy this morning seems to have started things moving.

[ged5] 19/9/2006 09:49

Or maybe go up?

[pugugly] 19/9/2006 08:50

Accounts way below (on a pro rata basis) house brokers estimates which were/are for an annual pre tax of £2.7 million. 6 month profit after write down of shares (possibly IGM) only £366,000.

Could have further to fall unless a significant upturn in business (IMO & DYOR etc)

[blindfaith2] 26/8/2006 12:52

I guess they can't be far away and it is not unreasonable to expect a professional firm such as this to be publishing at about the same time as last year.

One things for sure it needs some good news to start reversing this trend !
