AGM Trading Statement
In our preliminary results announcement on 17 March, we expressed our confidence
that UK ATM transaction volumes would start to show an improvement as the
unprecedented press criticism of charging ATMs died down and our engineering
work to upgrade our ATM estate to meet 'Chip and Pin' and revised encryption
standards was completed. I am pleased to report that this confidence is being
borne out with a good recovery in our daily transaction rate experienced in
April compared to those levels achieved over recent months.
We continue to focus our UK ATM efforts on securing new profitable sites,
actively managing our ATM estate to re-deploy under-performing sites and
reducing the overall cost of service provision. Our European businesses
continue to show good growth and progress. Exciting opportunities exist in our
cashless payments and access control business and our new product, Myriad, is
continuing to set a competitive standard in this developing and growing market.
The group profit before tax for the 4 months ended 30 April 2005 is in line with
our expectations.
We announced on 31 March that we had received preliminary approaches, which may
or may not lead to an offer for the issued and to be issued share capital of the
company. This situation remains unchanged and a further announcement will be
made when appropriate. Shareholders will be kept informed of any relevant
developments and in the meantime should await further advice from the Board.
The business is being run to create increasing sustainable shareholder value and
for this we appreciate and value the hard work, diligence and efforts of all of
our staff. Our focused efforts can only bode well for the future.
