CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
In the half year to July 31 2008 the Group made a consolidated loss of £15,078 (2007: profit of £18,180).
Leo's single investment is a 50% share in Grafton Insurance Services Limited a brokerage specialising in property insurance and whilst there has been a small amount of organic growth the main asset continues to be its long term contract with Safeland Plc.
The board continues to search for growth both organically and via acquisitions.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial information contained in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The figures for the period ended 31 January 2008 have been extracted from the audited statutory accounts. The interim results, which have not been audited or reviewed by the company's auditors, have been prepared in accordance with applicable International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These standards are also collectively referred to as "IFRS".
The accounting policies and methods of computations used are consistent with those used in the Group Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2008 and are expected to be used in the Group Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2009.
The interim results for the six months ended 31 July 2007 have been restated to be consistent with the accounting policy for joint ventures adopted in the 2008 statutory accounts. This change in presentation had no impact on profit for the period or net assets as at 31 July 2007.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 January 2008 were prepared and filed with the Registrar of Companies and received an unqualified audit report.
The interim report was approved by the Board of Directors on 28 October 2008.
As at 31 July 2008, the group had net current liabilities of £76,407. Included within current liabilities are redeemable preference shares of £65,000 and accrued dividends on those shares of £11,115. These amounts are all due to Safeland plc, a related party, who has given an undertaking to the group that these amounts will only be payable when there are adequate cash resources within the group so that the group can continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. On the basis of this commitment, and after considering the group's cash flow forecasts, the directors have prepared these interim results on the going concern basis.
