Trading Statement - Year ended 31 December 2007

iimia MitonOptimal plc ('iMO' or the 'Group'), the AIM traded company
encompassing fund management, wealth management and corporate services,
announces its trading update prior to entering the closed period for its
preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2007.

Overview

All divisions of the Group performed well in the second half and the Group's
results for the year ended 31 December 2007 are expected to be in line with
market expectations despite a much tougher market environment during this
period.

Trading update

This has been a year of significant growth for the Group with the acquisitions
of MitonOptimal and John K Miln. The Group's funds under management and advice
have nearly doubled to over �1.25 bn at 31 December 2007 (2006: �0.65 bn).

The integration of the iimia and MitonOptimal fund of funds businesses under the
Miton Asset Management branding is progressing well. As at 31 December 2007 the
fund range includes 9 OEICs, of which 6 are in the top quartile of their sectors
over the periods since launch. CF Miton Special Situations Portfolio reached its
10th anniversary at the end of 2007 and is ranked in the top decile of its
sector over the 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods since launch.

Our Wealth Management operation continued to perform well and the acquisition of
John K Miln strengthened our franchise in the south west. This business has now
been successfully integrated.

Intelli Corporate Finance has continued to trade profitably, despite very tough
conditions for fund raising in the closed-end fund sector.

Dividend

We have completed our capital reconstruction and intend to announce a maiden
dividend in respect of the year to 31 December 2007 and to pursue a progressive
dividend policy thereafter.

Outlook

The iMO board is confident that 2008 will see further progress for the Group,
despite challenging market conditions.

Notice of Full Year Results

We intend to issue our preliminary results for the year to 31 December 2007 in
late March 2008.
