Integrated Research Limited Announces Results for 2008 Financial Year

Sydney, Australia, 15 August 2008 - Integrated Research (ASX:IRI), leading developer and provider of systems and application management solutions for high availability computing environments, today released the following results for the financial year ended 30 June 2008.

The Company is pleased to report a 6% increase in net profit after tax over the previous financial year to $5.8 million. Total revenue for the Company increased 3% over the prior year to $37.4 million.

The Company achieved the financial guidance previously provided to the market with both current year revenue and profits surpassing the prior year despite tough market conditions created by the global liquidity crisis.

Growth in revenue and profit would have been substantially stronger except for the relative strength of the Australian dollar against both the US dollar and UK Sterling. Underlying revenue growth would have been approximately $3.9 million higher and NPAT increased by $1.8 million after taking into account the impact of currency exchange rates over the prior year.

The financial highlights are as follows:
