Notes to Editors:
The Company was admitted to trading on AIM on March 29 2005, having been
incorporated on January 21 2005 to invest in the transportation sector. In the
transport sector, the Board anticipated that opportunities would arise in the
provision of bus services, chauffeur-drive services, and integrated ground
transportation. In the Company's admission document dated March 11 2005 the
Board stated its intention to complete the Company's first acquisition within
six months of Admission and in August 2005 it agreed the acquisition of the
Flights Group of companies.
The Flights Group comprises three companies: Flights Hallmark, Flights Corporate
Transfers and FH Transport. Flights Hallmark is a mature coach and bus business
formed through the acquisition and amalgamation of a number of businesses. Its
main activities include the provision of dedicated transport solutions for a
range of corporate customers, the operation of various shuttle bus services and
a substantial coach hire business. Flights Corporate Transfers operates
chauffeur driven cars, particularly relating to transport to and from UK
airports, for a range of airlines and airline-related customers. The third
company, FH Transport, does not trade.
