INTERIM REPORT
FOR
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2002
INTERIM STATEMENT
The company reports a trading loss for the six months ended 30 September 2002
amounting to £29,467.
The Board continues to investigate opportunities to restore shareholder value.
However, as yet the Directors have not identified any sufficiently attractive
enough to recommend to shareholders.
Although the Board hoped to report on a positive note in due course, the
continued uncertainty in financial markets has limited the opportunities
available. In the circumstances, capital preservation, particularly cash,
continues to be a management discipline.
