NETCENTRIC SYSTEMS PLC
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2004
The Company recorded a loss after tax of £64,000 in the six months ended 31st
March 2004. These costs were essentially to keep the Company fully registered
and in compliance with Company Law and good reporting practice.
We have been looking, for sometime now, for a suitable 'reverse' acquisition or
investment for the Company and I had hoped to have been able to advise you of
firm proposals for the new direction of the Company in the period since my last
report in December 2003 . We have had a number of abortive discussions but I am
confident I will be contacting you again soon with your Board's proposals.
