Interim results for the period ended 30 June 2003
Chairman's Statement I am pleased to report the results for the six month period
ended 30 June 2003. The period has seen trading continuing at levels broadly
similar to those achieved in both the six month periods of 2002, following the
steep declines experienced in both 2000 and 2001. Turnover was £1,412,000 (2002:
£1,426,000). The reported loss before tax was £27,000 (2002: loss £7,000). This
loss is struck after goodwill amortisation of £73,000; (2002: £85,000) before
amortisation, operating profit was £46,000 (2002: £31,000). The loss after
taxation for the period was also £27,000 (2002: loss £7,000) and the loss per
share was 0.11p (2002: 0.02p).
In my statement included in the accounts for 2002, I reported on the continuing
uncertain trading conditions resulting from global economic conditions, but the
levelling of sales over the last eighteen months give us some cause to hope that
the worst may now be behind us. That said, trading conditions in your company's
particular market sectors continue to be very competitive and increased numbers
of licence sales do not necessarily translate into increased revenues.
In the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December, 2003, the Company
included in a post balance sheet event note, details of a €3.3 million
commitment to purchase an office in Monaco. The first payment of £101,000 was
paid in early June and the second payment of £180,000 was due for payment on 30
June, 2003. The note stated that the Board had decided it was more prudent to
maintain its cash resources. Accordingly, the commitment was cancelled without
penalty and on 31 July, 2003, the Company was repaid all payments made.
In my statement I also mentioned that your directors were considering the
appropriateness of continuing admission of your company's shares on AIM.
Shareholders will have recently received a circular setting out our views on
this subject in which we announced that notice has been given to the London
Stock Exchange to cancel admission of the Company's shares from trading on AIM.
Subject to the passing of the appropriate resolution at the forthcoming Special
General Meeting of the Company, it is expected that the cancellation will become
effective at the close of business on 18th September, 2003. The company has also
announced that it will instigate a share buy back programme in conjunction with
the cancellation. The programme will now commence on AIM and continue on
ShareMark after cancellation.
If any shareholders wish to take advantage of the share buyback, they should
contact their usual stockbroker.
Your directors continue to do everything possible to contain costs and the
savings resulting from the cancellation are expected to make a contribution to
this process.
Once again I would like to thank our management and staff for their continued
dedication and support.
Your Board is not declaring an interim dividend and does not currently expect to
recommend the payment of a final dividend for the year.
