Medsea Estates Group PLC
AGM Statement
At today's annual general meeting Mr Tony Gatehouse, Chairman, will make the
following statement:-
'When we launched on AIM last year, we outlined our plans to maintain the
successful growth of Medsea. I would like to take this opportunity to highlight
a number of initiatives which have been undertaken since the beginning of the
year as part of that process.
- We regularly review opportunities for physical expansion in Spain and
I am pleased to announce that we are about to launch our latest office
in Castillon, the Costa Azahar, or in English, the Orange Blossom
Coast. This is an attractive area which is under exploited and we
believe it will attract significant client interest.
- In April, Euromed's first product, the Frondoso Valley development in
Nuevo Torre Guil, Murcia, was launched. We believe this exciting
development, that will ultimately be home to almost 800 residential
properties, has great potential.
- Last month we announced an agreement with Barca & Boom Real Estates
of the Netherlands, which has been formed to market Medsea's
properties exclusively throughout Holland, Germany, Belgium and
Luxembourg.
- We have recently invested in two top professionals for two key areas
of the Group. A dedicated financial controller has joined the team and
reviewed all our procedures and controls to ensure that we are in the
best shape possible to maximise our performance as the business
expands. We have also appointed an in-house marketing and advertising
professional who will be working with our agents to take full
advantage of the opportunities available to us to expand our client
numbers.
- A consultancy agreement was signed in February by Euromed Investments
with the propsed Arc European Property Fund. It is intended that
Euromed will source suitable investment properties for the fund.
'While I have been pleased with our progress, problems within the UK housing
market and general lack of consumer confidence have had an effect on our
business. As already announced, unit sales in the first quarter to March were
lower than the same period of 2004. I am pleased to report that since then we
have seen some improvement in performance although overall unit sales to date
are below the comparable period. I would reiterate my comment in the annual
report that we remain confident for the longer term prospects for our business.'
