Given the importance of the RFP award ( and the impending Reserves upgrade), why did management not request suspension of trading in company shares pending clarification from the debrief with PPADB on Wednesday ?

That is normal and expected protocol when there is news which is likely to be price sensitive.

This is a great share to hold during market turmoil and down-days on the FTSE. Whilst all else is a sea of red, reliable old TOU holds firm and refuses to budge :-)


just a shame it's down 77% on my original investment :-(

Presumably creditors could seek to expropriate Levine's 5,374,000 shares in the company (4.5%). They could come onto the market which might impact the share price unless they are directly acquired by another director or investor.
....................................................................................................................

'Beano', the runaway financier, and the frantic hunt for £70m

Metropolitan Police and the SFO, which confirmed that it had heard a series of serious allegations, are trying to piece together the facts. Why did investors give millions to Mr Levene in the first place? Had the money been embezzled or simply lost on volatile markets? Was this really a fraud or just bad business judgment? The biggest surprise for many of Mr Levene's high-rolling friends is that anyone gave him money to invest on their behalf. "Whether this is fraud or not, this whole operation is staggering," said one well-known financier. "These investors seem to have simply sent Mr Levene millions of pounds, personally, without even a bank account. He wasn't even qualified, he was a broker, a middle man, he should never have been managing money and I never knew that he did." At Leyton Orient, where he and his wife Tracey, 42, had been regulars at home games, he had not been seen since August. The following month, he resigned from the board of Touch Group, a small listed company, citing "personal reasons".



Vanished City trader's losses may hit £200m

FOUR clients of a missing City financier claim they have lost £30m each, according to officials investigating the case. Total claims against Nick Levene, a 45-year-old trader and adviser, amount to £200m - three times the sum originally feared. Thirty clients have contacted Deloitte, the insolvency experts investigating Levene, who was declared bankrupt in his absence earlier this month. However, one source who knows Levene well said: "Thirty clients is laughable - there are loads." A source at a firm of private investigators said claims against Levene - nicknamed Beano - could easily exceed £300m, because of the high returns he had told investors they were making.

well if they make a small profit eventully , not relying on mr issacs . then from a 2 million loss it would be quiet a swing and you would expect a share price alot higher.

A merry Xmas from Mr Isaacs to his team:

'The Company has been notified that on 23rd December Vincent Isaacs, Executive Chairman, gifted 2,605,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company (*Ordinary Shares*) to a number of individuals including certain directors of the Company.'



Hopefully the portfolio (pharmacutical / medical element) will afford TOU a level of protection against a prospectively awful global economy in 2009. I may top-up after the final results are published if things look promising as I need to average down!

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The first six months of 2006 has been an important time for Touch Group plc as
we have continued our restructuring programme within the Group in order to
maximise growing revenue streams and reduce costs. A very positive picture has
emerged as it has become clear that within our Group there are two separate
businesses, Touch Local and Touch Briefings, which have their own unique
profiles.

Group turnover for the period from continuing operations for the period was
#4,611,000 (comparable period 2005 - #3,335,000) up some 38%.

Operating loss was #1,999,000 (2005 restated- #1,810,000). The loss included an
investment impairment charge of #701,000. The impairment has arisen from a
decline in the Mediazest share price which we received in part payment when we
sold Touch Vision in October 2005. The operating loss from continuing
operations, excluding the impairment charge was #1,298,000 (2005 restated -
#1,642,000).

In April 2006 we raised #650,000 through the placing of 8,437,500 shares at 8p
to expand on the investments made in the Touch Local business.

The basic loss per share for the period was 2.8p (2005 restated loss - 2.7p).


TOUCH LOCAL

Touch Local achieved turnover for the period of #1,810,000 (2005 - #963,000), an
increase of 88% on the prior comparable period.

During this period, we launched our new product portfolio including our flagship
product Touch Link Priority Listing. This micro site allows businesses to take
advantage of the full benefits of online advertising which is the fastest
growing advertising medium. Using sophisticated arbitrage tools, this micro
site allows businesses to electronically buy leads from search engines and our
own directory and display important information about their businesses along
with maps and pictures.

The "essence" of our business is obtaining new revenue with attractive margins
and then retaining it. Retention is all about keeping our customers attention
by delivering good service and communication. As a young business the retention
rate was low for our entry level products ( although retention rates are high
for our high end products which currently comprise the majority of our
revenues). With the development of our infrastructure, the improvement of our
services and our communications, our retention rate for entry level products has
increased ten fold since the beginning of the year. This is still improving and
is the most revealing indication of Touch Local's progress.

In addition our conversion rates (viewers who make a purchase) have increased
four fold since the beginning of this year and continues to improve. We believe
what we have now achieved will make a considerable contribution to our future
revenues. We are determined to increase this figure again by a considerable
margin.

The breadth of the Touch platform is now such that it is capable of providing
for the needs of the smallest SME right up to Blue Chip Institutions with
appropriate products for all levels and sales properly automated with people
intervention only at the highest level.

We have a proven business model but despite this our hardest task has been
recruiting the staff capable of executing our strategy. Tamer Ozmen, our Chief
Executive Officer, has spent considerable time leveraging his connections in the
Internet world to find the talented individuals who now make up all levels of
our Management Team. We now have a cohesive Touch Local team, able to deliver.

There is now a window of opportunity for Touch Local to become a major player of
high value. To take best advantage we need to move quickly. We are exploring a
number of solutions to establish significant funds to fulfil the now proven
growth potential within Touch Local. We are evaluating the best way of achieving
our objectives of providing the required funds for Touch Local whilst increasing
the value for our shareholders.


TOUCH BRIEFINGS

The period has seen continued focus on the (d1) major realignment and
restructuring programme which commenced some 18 months ago and which has seen
the division make significant enhancements to its international publications. As
such it now boasts a client base, which includes 130 of the Fortune 500
companies.

The Touch Briefings business produced revenues of #2,801,000 for the period
(2005 - #2,372,000) up 18% on prior year. This increase is due to the fact that
we published 25 books in the six months compared to 14 in the prior period.
Lower margins reflect the fact that there were a significant number of new
titles with a lower revenue per publication, which will be improved as
additional marketing budget is allocated to this task.

All of the initiatives that I mentioned in my statement of 30 June 2006 are
progressing well as explained below.

In addition to www.touchoilandgas.com, our established online platform for the
oil and gas industry, we have launched twelve clinical vertical sites, three of
which are now ready for use: www.touchneurology.com, www.touchcardiology.com and
www.touchoncologicaldisease.com. All have been carefully enriched with content,
providing the breadth and depth necessary to make each an essential place to
visit for every therapeutic professional. We are on track to complete the
further nine clinical vertical sites before the end of 2006.

We have recently received verification from BPA that our Touch Cardiology
journal achieved a certified distribution of 21,000. This is a demonstration of
value to our clients. Our other key clinical titles will be BPA verified before
the end of 2006.

We have increased our number of publications by adding new titles to the
schedule and by increasing the number of editions of existing titles. We have
upgraded many of our clinical titles from annual to biannual frequency. We will
publish 11 new titles in 2006, 10 of which launched in the first half of the
year. Many are natural extensions into other clinical and pharmaceutical areas.

Two new revenue streams have been created in Q3 of 2006. The Special Projects
division was formed to extend the Touch Briefings brand to blue chip companies
in sectors with which we have no business history, through the offering of a
bespoke publishing service that leverages our content and production
competencies. We have scored significant early successes with a range of
clients. We have secured repeat business within the quarter, and are rapidly
growing our pipeline.

We have also established a Reprints division to capitalise on our existing
high-quality content by selling it on to companies for whom specific articles
represent an invaluable arm to their marketing strategy. This division is
achieving early success.

In July we launched our Key Accounts Division, which offers sponsorship and
advertising deals across our entire publication portfolio to 20 of the world's
largest healthcare and pharmaceutical companies. The team has made great strides
and with the 2007 publication schedule in hand, we are obtaining significant
2006 orders and forward bookings for 2007. In addition we have restructured the
entire business: sales floor, production, distribution and editorial.

Our new management under the direction of our publishing director Dr Theresa
Saklatvala is taking the company to new heights. Touch Briefings is now a
profitable company of real substance, content driven with a clear focus on
delivery. We are on course to publish 60 journals in 2006, realising record
published revenues for the year.

During the last few months of this year a clarity within the Group has emerged
which will enable us to enter 2007 with the best possible opportunities.
