CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The twelve months to 30 June 2011 has been a period of
substantial change and development for ILA Group Ltd ("ILA" or the
"Company"), progressing from a company specialising in its initial
brand "ILA" (innovative personal alarms) to an acquisitive company
with international distribution and marketing expertise. The
company is imminently launching its second brand and is considering
a number of other acquisition opportunities and brand launches.
In the 12 months, the Company has increased its retail footprint
to over 30 countries, and following the acquisition of Premium
Factory now develops and manufactures for blue chip consumer goods
companies such as Nestle and Unilever. The group is also developing
a range of children's products under major licenses, including
Disney and Marvel characters, which it sells through major
high-street retailers.
The start of the financial year saw good trading progress in
line with the planned roll out strategy to new territories and
countries. Initial orders were placed in North America with the
appointment of sales agents in multiple states across the USA. This
is a key first step to establishing a new product range in the US
market. ILA also received its first orders from Abbott in Canada
during December 2010. Sales were introduced across different sales
channels with ILA products appearing on the QVC television channel
in the UK as well as in catalogue companies and through internet
retailers.
In March of 2011 ILA announced its first acquisition of a
private company, Premium Factory Ltd (Premium Factory). Premium
Factory has been fully integrated in the group and enhances a
number of areas of operation within the business. The management
team that joined from Premium Factory have a strong background in
new product development, with wide experience of designing and
manufacturing for major blue chip multinationals. These skills are
complementary to the existing ILA team and should help accelerate
the growth of the group and with the roll out of new products and
brands.
As announced earlier in the year, the group continues to
position itself as an innovative fast growing company with the goal
of supplying major retailers with high quality brand ranges. To
reflect these changes, the company plans to rebrand the Group name.
This will enable us to launch further new brands and ranges,
preventing confusion with the company's first product line, which
also trades under the ILA brand. Subject to successfully passing
the resolutions at the AGM, the group name will change from ILA
Group Ltd. to LiteBulb Group Ltd.
Financial performance
Despite the poor retail climate, we are pleased to report strong
growth over the 12 months with sales more than tripling year on
year to GBP1.76m from GBP501k in 2009/10. Considerable investment
has been made to ensure that the company has the infrastructure to
handle further strong growth over the next 3 years. The loss for
the year (excluding exceptional administrative expenses) was
GBP876,167.
The sales performance for the period was better than budgeted.
This performance reflects the continued efforts of the ILA
management and the positive impact the Premium Factory business and
staff have had on the group.
Current trading and prospects
Post the year end, trading has been most encouraging, including
a large new order announced within the ILA Security range from
Germany and further orders from Scandinavia. As well as this there
have been major orders announced in the Premium Factory
division.
Revenues are significantly ahead of prior periods. The pipeline
of potential demand from around the world is encouraging and we
anticipate good growth for the financial year.
The company is currently launching its next branded product line
"Scootrix" in the area of children's Scooter accessories and is in
talks with a major national retailer. We expect to rapidly increase
the number of products in the range and look forward to providing
further updates on the progress of the brand in due course.
The company is also looking to launch new product lines in the
licensed product markets and is currently in talks with a number of
leading brands. We expect to announce a deal in this area in the
coming months.
We will continue to aggressively target organic growth by
increasing sales and expanding product ranges, and we are also
continuously assessing acquisition opportunities.
Overall, ILA has made good progress in a short space of time,
and I look forward to reporting further progress in due course.

number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
The calculation of diluted loss per share is based on loss per
share attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares that would be in issue, assuming
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary
shares.
