Principal activity, review of business and future developments The company continues to operate in the residential contractor/housebuilder market. During the year we provided working capital for the development of three residential sites in the Greater London area. The loss before taxation for the period was £1,730 (2006: £149,797). During the year the board has evaluated opportunities in relation to both building contracts and the financing of those contracts. The company achieved its target of fully committing its available cash resources during 2007. By committing to three separate projects which are ring fenced within individual special purpose vehicles , albeit all subsidiaries of one development group, , exposure to any single development is reduced. The working capital was provided as loan notes and these have been structured to receive a fixed interest return plus a share of development profit. The interest element has been accrued during the period but profit share will only be recognised once there is sufficient evidence and projects are sufficiently progressed to assess the likely profitability with a reasonable level of accuracy. The three projects are: West End Lane, Ruislip, Middlesex. £900,000 was loaned in this 19 unit residential scheme. It is due to complete in the final quarter of 2008. All units have been sold off plan. Northolt Road Harrow, Middlesex £1,000,000 was committed to this 25 unit project. This scheme is due to complete in first quarter of 2009. 24 units have been sold off plan. St Margarets Road, Twickenham £700,000 was loaned in this project. A 27 unit scheme was granted planning on 15 May 2008 and construction is programmed to commence in the second half of this year. Completion is projected for late 2009/early 2010. As profit share on these projects becomes recognisable the board will consider available resources and declaration of an ordinary share dividend. Ends
