During the period under review the Company's gross turnover grew by 3 per cent. to £ 2.77 million (2004: £2.7 million) and its operating loss reduced by 10 per cent. to £0.27 million (2004: £0.30 million). In order to drive future growth and profitability, during 2005 the Group undertook a considerable amount of product development across all its media and technology platforms. I am extremely pleased to report that this activity has culminated in: * the launch of new Internet based services in the high growth sectors of dating and directories; * the creation of a new proprietary online publishing software suite which is already supporting new joint ventures with third party media owners and a fast growing web design agency; and, * the re-launch of the Group's primary print and online publications with a focus on reducing operating expenses whilst also improving product quality and advertising revenue. In particular, during 2005, the Group: * launched www.totallyjewishdating.com into the Jewish online dating market estimated to be worth in excess of $25 million pa; * launched www.totallyjewishdirectory.com, a new white and yellow page directory service, with aspirations for it to become the global standard for online Jewish directories around the globe; * re-launched www.totallyjewish.com, the Group's flagship website, with a primary focus on driving subscription based services and advertising; * re-launched www.totallyjewishtravel.com in both English and Hebrew, with a new global restaurant directory and other value added services; * re-launched the www.thejewishadvcoate.com to support online newspaper subscriptions and classified advertising; * re-launched both the Jewish News and The Jewish Advocate newspapers with a greater emphasis placed on classified advertising and a sharper editorial focus; * launched a new 100 page glossy annual called Totally Jewish Simcha, which targets the UK's Jewish wedding and celebrations market; * created a new proprietary online publishing software suite to support the efficient and expedient creation of new websites for third party media partners and clients direct. Current Developments Since the year end, the Group has launched a new joint venture with the UK's leading Greek broadcaster, London Greek Radio ("LGR"). Totally and LGR have launched a new LGR web portal promoting a raft of new online services including dating, directory, property and recruitment targeting the UK's Greek community. The launch of the new LGR portal demonstrates the Group's ability to use its new online publishing software suite and general Internet expertise to successfully target other niche communities, which your directors believe will help build new revenue streams and create long term value. Trading Prospects Having completed this product development activity, the Group is now well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities for increased profits and growth. This is reflected in the Group's unaudited operating performance for the first quarter of 2006 during which the Group made a modest operating profit versus a £130,000 loss for the same period in 2005. Your Directors believe that this trading improvement should continue throughout 2006 and look forward to a positive outcome for the full year.

Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Group currently meets its day to day working capital requirements through two overdraft facilities which are repayable on demand. The Group has confirmed the availability of a facility of £650,000 with Bank Hapoalim which was renewed on 29 April 2006 until 28 April 2007. As security for the facility, the bank has obtained the unlimited Joint and Several Guarantees of Dr. Michael J. Sinclair (non-executive Chairman), Mr Leo Noe and Grand Rabbi Y.A. Korff of Boston (non-executive Director). In addition, a working capital facility of £150,000 has been agreed with Natwest which is secured on the Group's debtor book. This facility is due for renewal on 31 October 2006. The Directors have prepared projected cash flow information for the period ending twelve months from the date of their approval of these financial statements. On the basis of cash flow forecasts and discussions with the group's bankers, the Directors consider that the group will be able to operate within the facilities currently agreed. Inherently, there can be no certainty in relation to these matters, but the directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate. 2.

Loss per share The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss of £295,000 (2004: £264,000) and on 87,841,901 (2004: 77,133,270) ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, in accordance with FRS 14 which prescribes that potential ordinary shares should only be used as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease net profit or increase net loss per share from continuing operations. 6. Dividends The Directors are not proposing the payment of a dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2005. 7. Publication of non-statutory accounts The financial information set out in this preliminary announcement does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2005 and the consolidated profit and loss account, consolidated cash flow statement and associated notes for the year then ended have been extracted from the Group's financial statements. Those financial statements have received an unqualified report from the auditors but have not yet been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The 2004 accounts have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and the auditors gave an unqualified report on them. 8. Copies of accounts will be sent to shareholders shortly and will also be available at the Company's registered office, Unit 611, Highgate Studios, 53-79 Highgate Road, Kentish Town, London NW5 1TL.
