            Preliminary Results for Year ended 31st October 2003


Chairman's statement

Results


Advance Capital Invest, the investment vehicle, was incorporated on 20 October
2000.  In conjunction with its admission to AIM on 1 December 2000, the Company
raised a total of approximately #2 million cash. During the period under review,
ACI has not undertaken any trading activities, but incurred certain staff and
operational costs associated with reviewing a number of acquisitions.



As a result of the Board's decision to halve their remuneration the loss for the
year was reduced to #30,000 (2002: #68,000) and the cash outflow was reduced to
#30,000.





Outlook



The Board continues to actively review potential acquisitions. Since conditions
in the market have improved and there is positive investor sentiment the Board
believes this will make finding a suitable transaction easier than in the
previous two years.



ACI remains an attractive investment vehicle and if necessary, one capable of
providing additional managerial and capital input into a suitable opportunity,
once identified.  The Company continues to have a strong balance sheet with net
assets per share of approximately 16.4p, consisting predominantly of cash at
bank and in hand.

Notes to the financial statements





1.         Basis of preparation



The profit and loss account, balance sheet and cashflow statement which are
unaudited have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out
in the 2002 Annual Report.  The financial information contained in the financial
statements does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section
240 of the Act.



The results for 2002 full year are an abridged review of the full accounts which
have received an unqualified audit report and have been filed with the Registrar
of Companies.





2.         Loss per share



The basic loss per share calculation has been based on the loss attributable to
ordinary shareholders of #30,000 divided by 8,100,000 shares, being the entire
issued share capital of the company.



There is no difference between the basic and fully diluted earnings per Ordinary
Share, as no Ordinary Shares are issuable under the Share Options until the
completion by the Company of a business acquisition, and this condition had not
been met at the end of the reporting period.





3.         Dividends



The Board has not declared a dividend in respect of this period.
