Pentagon Protection Plc ('Pentagon' or 'the Company')
AGM Statement
At the Company's AGM this morning all resolutions were passed. The following is
the text of the statement at the meeting made by David Thomas, Chairman of the
Company.
Pentagon's first AGM since listing on AIM provides me with the opportunity to
update you with a report of the progress that we have been making since
September 2003.
As I have already detailed in the 2003 Annual Report, the biggest single
achievement has been the acquisition of Filmtek, the details of which you may
access in my Chairman's Statement.
However, what has been more significant has been the sharpening of our focus to
enhance the safety and security performance of glass. The adverse developments
in the UK laws of automotive tinting have impacted Pentagon's business, as
described in the Annual Report, and have helped catalyse the appeal of our
protective product, SupaGlass, within the automotive sector. We have made strong
progress in securing interest from motor manufacturers in not only SupaGlass
related protection, but also in legal solar protective tints. The VW contract
announced in September 2003 will begin to be executed in the coming months on
the VW marque of cars. In addition, we have secured commitments from at least
three other automotive manufacturers to avail of our products.
Your Company is also making inroads into the potentially lucrative international
markets, both in building protection (with the acquisition of Filmtek) and
automotive master franchises. There are a number of major building construction
projects for which Pentagon's services are being considered in the Middle East,
primarily as a result of evolving tensions in the area. In the automotive sector
we have commenced business through our representatives in Kuwait, UAE and
Cyprus, and are entertaining strong discussions with representatives from
certain countries in Central Asia.
This international progress combined with a sharpened focus in marketing
anti-terrorist protection in the London area, including conversations conducted
with a number of blue chip companies therein, are reinforcing the Directors'
confidence that the strategic decisions we made to sharpen the Company's focus
in the area of protection are paying off.
I look forward very much to reporting the specific successes of these activities
in the weeks and months to come.
