CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2004
The Company recorded a loss after tax of £178,000. (£289,000 loss 2003).
Such losses are essentially Central Costs of £146,000. The equivalent costs in
2003 were £154,000.
Additionally the directors have decided for prudency to provide in full against
the carrying value of unrealised investments in the sum of £32,000.
We have looked at a number of 'reverse' acquisitions and investments for the
Company during the year, all of which have not been pursued for sound commercial
reasons and we will continue to look for such a suitable proposition.
