Disposal of Interest in Cameron Kennedy Resources Limited
Prime People plc ('Prime People' or the 'Company') today announces that, on 28
April 2006, it disposed of its entire 44.66% holding in Cameron Kennedy
Resources Limited ('CKR'), a financial recruitment company, for a cash
consideration of £180,000.
In the nine months ended 30 September 2005, the Company's share of CKR's
operating loss was £20,825. Management accounts for the six months ended 31
March 2006 show that CKR, which historically has been treated by the Company as
an associate undertaking, has underperformed its budgets and has continued to
make losses. The Board of Prime People therefore concluded that it was in the
best interests of shareholders to sell its entire shareholding in CKR.
As a consequence of the sale the Company will incur a write down representing
the difference between the net proceeds of the sale and the carrying value of
CKR as at 31 March 2006 of £140,920.
The net cash proceeds from the sale (approx. £175,000) will be used to assist in
the further development of the property recruitment business of Macdonald &
Company Group Limited, the Company's main subsidiary.
