CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report on the Group's results and performance for the six months to 30 June 2011, a period reflecting continued progress and one which saw the Group move into profitability. RiIG has seen a transformation over the last three years, moving from losses in December 2008 of GBP1.3m to the present level of profitability and a debt-free position. The period under review includes days of lost revenue as a result of the high level of public holidays.

For the six months to 30 June 2011, RiIG saw an uplift of 48% in revenue to GBP1,373,215 (2010: GBP925,146) and a move to a profit of GBP25,382 before share option expense (2010: loss of GBP150,466). The Board is not recommending the payment of a dividend.

The Group continues to grow its client portfolio and, effective this month, has signed a major new contract with a leading insurer taking the total number of blue chip insurance clients to eight.

RiIG's services remain focused on the provision of Claims Advisory Services - covering Implant, Outsource, Field Inspection, Credit Hire and Consultancy. From RiIG's consultancy services clients can fully identify where their processes can be improved and where costs can be saved. RiIG provides talented and experienced claims handlers who have a track record at achieving these cost savings as well as improving customer relations. These handlers can be inserted wherever and whenever required. The Board believes that insurers need a flexible resource model in today's world and RiIG can meet this demand.

The Board has appointed two new sales managers to support the growing demands of retained business and new business. As the industry faces significant challenges in terms of talent, coupled with the rise of major retail brands entering the insurance sector bringing with them retail standards of service and operational efficiencies, the Board believes that now more than ever companies will be requiring the services of companies like RiIG.

I am pleased to report a strong start to the second half of the financial year, with the extension of two contracts and new commissions from existing clients. The Group is well funded to capitalise on growing the current business with an encouraging level of new business opportunities in the pipeline. Prospects for the remainder of the year are encouraging.

In the period under review, the Board has invested for growth and scale, increased RiIG's sales capability with focus on the untapped London market as well as the national operators. This is all geared to an aggressive growth plan throughout 2011 and into 2012 and beyond with a focus on delivering solid services to clients, driving new business and building on the Group's position of profitability. As ever, I wish to thank our employees and shareholders for their continued support.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO RESOURCES IN INSURANCE GROUP PLC

Introduction

We have been engaged by RiIG to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 which comprises the income statement, statement of changes in shareholders equity, balance sheet, cashflow statement and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the RiIG in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist RiIG in meeting its requirements. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to RiIG those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other RiIG for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies, published by the London Stock Exchange from time to time.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to RiIG a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the AIM regulations.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis. The directors, based on current management information and financial projections, have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

RiIGhas prepared detailed profit and cash flow projections; projected gross profit margins are realistic and consistent with past performance, the existing and anticipated pricing structure and order book. Projected debtor collections are also realistic and consistent with past performance. Overhead levels have been closely considered and consistent with cost saving measures implemented during 2010.

The Board considers the cost base to be stable, and the risk of losing significant customers to be low, due to the nature of the services.

There are no borrowing requirements to be considered. On 22 December 2010 the Group privately placed GBP300,000 in new shares and converted GBP100,000 of the convertible loan notes. The remaining GBP200,000 of convertible loan notes were converted in two tranches of GBP100,000 each on 13 January 2011 and on 20 January 2011. The Group has no debt and is cash positive.

Cash flow projections have analysed all known liabilities, commitments and repayment dates in the future, including the period beyond twelve months from the date of this report. These projections include current enacted taxation rates.

The Group's main products are considered to be robust and will benefit from external factors such as Ministry of Justice reforms and the poor UK winter weather in 2010. Significant new business has not been factored into the financial projections, although there are a number of new business contracts in negotiation. Current market response and the conversion of potential customers have both been good.

Projections have been tested by performing sensitivity analyses on critical assumptions, specifically levels of activity, to ensure sufficient levels of working capital. In these projections turnover has been flexed to incorporate both current confirmed work and new work expected to be won in the year.

There are additional plans in place to alter the amounts and timing of cash flows so unexpected needs or opportunities can be addressed. The Board has also restructured the share capital of the Group in 2010 to fund the growth of the business and to capitalise on the growth opportunities that may present themselves. Improved trading, confidence from existing shareholders and current investment market conditions give the directors confidence that this will be achieved.

As such the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings as if they were a single entity. Subsidiary undertakings are consolidated from the date of acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction, in accordance with IAS 18, and represents the value of services provided in the period and is stated net of VAT.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less provision for depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset less its estimated residual value evenly over its estimated useful life, as follows:

Claims software over three to five years

Office equipment and fittings over three to five years

Website development over three years

Investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.

Work in progress

Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value and is based on the percentage complete at the year end.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value. When objective evidence exists that the asset is impaired the estimated irrecoverable amount is written off to profit and loss.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Leasing and finance lease commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful economic lives. The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the contract and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital payments outstanding. Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Current and Deferred taxation

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Pension costs

The Group contributes to two Group Personal Pension Schemes for Directors and senior employees. Pension contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they are incurred.

Share-based payment transactions

The group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

2. Financial Information

The financial information above does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial information has not been audited but has been reviewed by the Company's auditors.

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These interim statements have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective as at the time of preparing these statements.

3. Taxation

No liability to taxation arises due to the loss incurred during the period. At 30 June 2011 the Group had Corporation Tax losses and unclaimed capital allowances of approximately GBP2,520,000 subject to agreement with HM Revenue and Customs.

No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of these losses due to there being uncertainty as to whether sufficient future taxable profits will be generated by the company in the near future.
