it completed the sale of Axiom Design & Print Limited ('Axiom') to Trilogy
Media Group Limited for approximately £650,000 in cash, with a possible
adjustment up or down depending on the value of net assets at completion. At

business of photographic and electronic image processing, lithographic
printing and graphic design. They earned a profit before tax of £94,000 in the

David Coghlan, Quadrant's Chief Executive, commenting on the disposal, said
'the management of Axiom have done an excellent job in turning around and
developing the business over the past few years. We are pleased that Axiom has
now gone to a new owner committed to further expansion in the design and print
sector. The sale enables Quadrant to focus on its growing electronic systems
businesses'.
