Colin Goodall , Chairman of Asite plc comments:

"Despite significant internal change within the Group during the year gross operating margins have been increased and operating costs reduced. It is most pleasing to note that the pre exceptional pre minority loss recorded in the second half of 2005 fell to £0.36m, being an improvement of £0.60m over the comparative loss recorded in the first half of 2005. We have invested heavily in our product base and we are seeing improved demand for our collaboration and sourcing solutions in the first half of 2006. Whilst progress towards profitable and sustainable trading has been slower than expected the actions taken to improve margins and reduce costs have now started to have a real impact on the Group's performance".
