CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
for the six months ended 30 June 2005
I now have pleasure in reporting to you on the accounts for the 6 months ending
30th June 2005.
You will note that although we have further reduced administration charges,
there is a continuing loss.
Unfortunately, these losses will continue until profits flow through from
developments. In this regard I am pleased to report we are very far advanced in
doing all the necessary preliminary work on Phase 1 of River Quay and hope to
start building work by the end of the year.
We have decided to put in a revised planning application for our site in Newark
whilst we are appealing against the refusal of our original application and we
await the outcome.
