All three trading companies have been successfully integrated and are now operating profitably before holding company overheads. The Group overall loss will be significantly reduced. Interim results, to be announced in September, will include six months from Electro-mec, which was acquired on 16 March 2007, and three months trading from Alpha Anodising, which was acquired on 28 March this year. Our business model, as a consolidator in the precision engineering sector, combines organic growth with carefully targeted acquisitions. This strategy is beginning to deliver synergies and cost savings and, subject to funding, further acquisitions will be made, which should result in long-term benefits for our shareholders."

As the target sector is highly fragmented the Company strongly believes that value can be added through consolidation. The Group came into being through the acquisition of 3 Point Blue, which was founded by Jonathan Bobbett, the Group's Chief Executive, and was reversed into Euro Investment Fund plc in June 2006 and changed its name to Avid Holdings plc on being admitted to trading on AIM in June 2006. Since then the Company has made two further acquisitions. Pill Protect 3 Point Blue became the first operating company in the emerging Group changing its name to Pill Protect which provides pharmaceutical companies with child resistant and senior friendly packaging solutions for their blister pack drugs. Electro-Mec Electro-Mec, founded in 1969, is a precision engineering business producing high quality blister pack change tooling for the pharmaceutical industry (from which it generates the majority of its revenues) as well as offering some machining and assembly for the defence industry. It was acquired in February 2007 for a total consideration of £1.55 million of which £759,000 is dependent on future profits. Alpha Anodising Alpha was established in 1972 and is a high quality metal finishing business based in Buckinghamshire. It has developed a highly diversified customer base due to its specialised expertise and reputation. Its offerings include a wide range of production techniques such as mechanical and chemical finishes, high quality surface and sub-surface printing, as well as professional design and prototyping services. The company supplies the medical, scientific, defence and audio industries. It was acquired for £799,813 of which £120,000 is deferred. END
