PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Year ended 30 April 2005
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Results
Our results for the year ended 30 April 2005 show turnover of £313,000 (2004:
£19,000) and operating losses of £252,000 (2004: £343,000). Furthermore, as the
board has decided to withdraw from food manufacturing, additional provisions of
£804,000 have been made at the year-end. These relate to the write-off of
goodwill and the write-down of machinery values.
Although some progress was made during the year and several listings were
achieved, the level of business was not sufficient to maintain a viable
manufacturing unit.
Since the year-end, the manufacturing unit has been closed and the machinery has
been sold.
Paul Bennett, the Chief Executive, left the company on 22 July and we wish to
thank him for his efforts in trying to build the business.
The board is now considering the options available to the Group and will update
shareholders in due course.
I would like to thank all the employees for their hard work during the difficult
trading period
