Chairman's statement
For the six months ended 30 June 2007
The approval of the High Court on 23 January 2008, to the capital reorganisation
approved by Shareholders, has enabled the Board to release the interim financial
information for the period to 30 June 2007; itself representing only two months
trading, following the closure of the TV Commerce Limited operations in February
2007.
This approval will enable the Board to effect a reduction in the capital of the
Company, with surplus funds being returned to Shareholders in due course. This
represents the conclusion of what has been a difficult period for the Group.
At the time the Company's shares were first admitted to trading on AIM in
February 2005, the prospects for the Group's business model depended upon the
continuation of the regulatory regime covering the telecommunications and
broadcasting market then in force. It was disappointing, therefore, that changes
to that regime rendered this model unsustainable, at the time when the Group had
become profitable.
I have no doubt that Shareholder's interests have been preserved by the prompt
action of the Board to shut down the operations of TV Commerce Limited and the
steps taken to ensure that the remaining funds are returned as soon as possible.
I would like to thank my fellow directors for their support during this period.
Andy Mintern
Chairman
