Never became involved and now never will as they are delisting due to the cost of AIM listing of £87k not justified by trading volume-they state 87% of the time(ie trading days)there is not a single transaction.

Dear Shareholder,


Proposed Cancellation, Capital Reorganisation, Re-registration and Capital
Reduction


Introduction


The Group's interim results announced on 30 March 2009 included certain details
concerning the Board's intention to seek a delisting from AIM of the Ordinary
Shares and related proposals. The Board believes that it would be in the
interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to cancel from the
admission to trading on AIM the Ordinary Shares ("the Cancellation"), effect a
share consolidation of the share capital of the Company ("the Capital
Reorganisation"), re-register as a private company ("the Re-registration") and
effect a share capital reduction ("Capital Reduction"), together "the
Transaction". The reasons for and details of the proposed Transaction are set
out below. I am therefore writing to you today to seek the necessary approval to
allow the proposed Transaction to proceed. Notice of a General Meeting of the
Company (at which the Resolutions to give effect to the Transaction will be put
to the Shareholders) is set out on pages 15 and 16 of this document.


Background to and reasons for the proposed Transaction

1. Reasons for proposed Cancellation


Following careful consideration the Board has concluded that it is no longer in
the best interests of the Company or its Shareholders to maintain the Company's
trading facility on AIM and consider that the costs of remaining quoted on AIM
far outweigh the benefits.
As with many other smaller AIM quoted companies, the Group's Shareholder
register is tightly held. Over 80 per cent. of the Shareholders by number listed
on the Group's register own less than 0.6% of NBA Quantum's issued share
capital. The Group suffers from a lack of liquidity in its shares. In the twelve
months to 29 March 2009 (being the latest date before the Company announced its
intention to delist) there were 226 trading days when no Ordinary Shares were
traded on the London Stock Exchange (87 per cent of trading days) and 244
trading days when less than 5,000 Ordinary Shares were traded (94 per cent of
trading days in that period). The average daily volume over the twelve months to
29 March 2009 is less than 4,000 shares, equating to 0.04 per cent of the
Group's current issued share capital. As it is unlikely that the Group will be
issuing new shares as part of a fundraising or as consideration for an
acquisition, the lack of liquidity in its shares and low trading volumes are
likely to continue.
The Group's quotation on AIM involves considerable direct costs which the
Directors estimate amount to approximately GBP60,000 per annum and deem are not
appropriate for a Company of the size of NBA Quantum. Additionally, the
Directors consider that the Company's listing on AIM results in a
disproportionate amount of senior management time being spent in meeting the AIM
Rules and related requirements, including reporting, disclosure and corporate
governance requirements. The Directors believe that the interest of the Company
and the Shareholders would best be served by removing these costs and allowing
the Company's business to develop outside the constraints to which it is
currently subject.
The Company is aware that there is limited institutional investor appetite for a
Company of the size of NBA Quantum. The Directors do not therefore consider that
the Company will be able to attract and maintain an institutional investor base,
especially in light of the current economic environment.


In light of the factors detailed above, the Directors have concluded that the
Cancellation be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.


Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies requires an AIM company which wishes the
London Stock Exchange to cancel admission of its shares to trading on AIM to
notify such intended cancellation and separately inform the London Stock
Exchange of its preferred cancellation date at least 20 business days prior to
such date. The Cancellation is conditional upon the consent of not less than 75
per cent of votes cast by Shareholders given at the General Meeting.


The Company has notified the London Stock Exchange of its preferred cancellation
date and if the relevant resolution is approved at the General Meeting it is
anticipated that Cancellation will occur with effect from 7.00 a.m. on Friday 5
June 2009.

2. Effect of the Cancellation on Shareholders

The principal effects of the Cancellation would be that:


(a) there would no longer be a formal market mechanism enabling Shareholders
to trade their shares on AIM or any other market or tracking exchange;

(b) the Company would not be bound to announce material events,
administrative charges or material transactions nor to announce interim or final
results;

(c) the Company would no longer be required to comply with any of the
additional specific corporate governance requirements for companies admitted to
trading on AIM; and

(d) the Company will no longer be subject to the AIM Rules and Shareholders
will no longer be required to vote on certain matters as provided in the AIM
Rules.


The Board will, however, continue to:
(a) continue to hold general meetings in accordance with the applicable
statutory requirements and the Company's articles of association; and

(b) continue to send Shareholders copies of the Company's audited accounts in
accordance with the applicable statutory requirements.


Shareholders should note that following the Cancellation the Company will remain
subject to the provisions of The Takeover Code on the basis set out in those
provisions.


3. Following the Cancellation


The Directors are aware that Shareholders may still wish to acquire or dispose
of Shares. The Directors are considering making available a matched bargain
settlement. Under this facility Shareholders or persons acquiring Shares will be
able to leave an indication with the matched bargain settlement facility
provider that they are prepared to buy or sell at an agreed price. In the event
that the matched bargain settlement facility provider is able to match that
order with an opposite sell or buy instruction, the matched bargain settlement
facility provider will contact both parties and then effect the order. The
contact details of any matched bargain settlement facility provider, if
arranged, will be made available to Shareholders on the Company's website at
www.nbagroup.com.


4. Reasons for proposed Capital Reorganisation, Re-registration and Capital
Reduction


The Company's authorised share capital currently is GBP10,000,000 comprising of
100,000,000 Ordinary Shares of 10p of which 7,329,372 Existing Ordinary Shares
are in issue.


The Company has approximately 180 Shareholders. Some 130 of these Shareholders
hold approximately 6,000 of the Existing Ordinary Shares and represent less than
1% of the current issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider
that a more appropriate capital structure is therefore now required. The Capital
Reorganisation will also offer an exit route for some of the minority
Shareholders. Further, the proposed Capital Reorganisation and Re-registration
will reduce the administrative burden of the Company and the Re-registration
will make the Company easier to manage under the lighter regulatory regime for
private companies introduced by the Act.


The Directors are, therefore, proposing to effect the Capital Reorganisation and
Re-registration, details of which are set out below.


Summary of the Proposals


The Board will be putting resolutions to effect the proposals as detailed below
before the Shareholders at the General Meeting, to be held on Thursday 28 May
2009. The Resolutions provide for:-

i) the authority to allot 628 Existing Ordinary Shares free of statutory
pre-emption provisions;

ii) the consolidation of the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares into New
Ordinary Shares;

iii) consequential amendments to the Memorandum of Association and
Articles of Association and approval of

the Transfer Placing

Agreement;

iv) cancellation of the Shares from admission to trading on AIM;

v) re-registration as a private limited company;

vi) authorisation of actual or potential conflicts; and

vii) the approval of the use by the Company of electronic communications
as permitted by the Act.


The Resolutions are set out in full in the Notice of General Meeting.


The Shareholders should note that, if the Re-registration Resolution becomes
effective, they will continue to receive the protections afforded by the City
Code on Takeovers and Mergers for so long as the Company falls within section
3(a)(ii) A-D of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. The City Code will
continue to apply to the Company for a period of 10 years commencing from the
day on which the admission of its shares on AIM is cancelled.




Details of Proposed Capital Reorganisation


The Directors are proposing to consolidate the Existing Ordinary Shares on the
basis of 1 New Ordinary Share for every 1,000 Existing Ordinary Shares held,
creating New Ordinary Shares of GBP100 each.


To effect the consolidation, it will be necessary to issue and allot 628
additional Ordinary Shares so that the Company's issued share capital is exactly
divisible by 1,000. Conditional upon and subject to the passing of the
Resolutions specified above, the Company will issue the 628 Ordinary Shares for
cash at an issue price of 10p per Existing Ordinary Share to Peter
Elliott-Hughes (who will receive 297 Ordinary Shares), Robert Jervis (who will
receive 275 Ordinary Shares) and Alan Rumford (who will receive 56 Ordinary
Shares), being the 3 members of the concert party ("Concert Party"). The issue
price of 10p per Existing share is 2.87p higher than the last traded price of
7.13p on 13 January 2009.


Accordingly, immediately prior to the consolidation the Company's issued
ordinary share capital will comprise 7,330,000 Ordinary Shares. The Directors
estimate that the number of Shareholders following the Capital Reorganisation
becoming effective would reduce by approximately 72 per cent to approximately 56
Shareholders.


Other than the change in the nominal value, the New Ordinary Shares arising on
completion of the Capital Reorganisation will have the same rights as the
Existing Ordinary Shares including, without limitation, the same voting,
dividend and other rights.


The consolidation of the Company's shares would be effected by Resolution 3 on
the Notice of the General Meeting. Resolution 3 is conditional on Resolutions 1
and 2 also being passed as they are necessary to ensure that the Company's
issued share capital is exactly divisible by 1000. Resolution 4 is part of the
Directors' proposal for dealing with the fractional entitlements arising from
the consolidation.


A consequence of the terms of the Capital Reorganisation is that holders of
fewer than 1,000 Existing Ordinary Shares will not be entitled to receive a New
Ordinary Share and holders of more than 1,000 Existing Ordinary Shares will only
be entitled to one New Ordinary Share for every 1,000 Existing Ordinary Shares
they hold at the Record Date. They will not be entitled to receive New Ordinary
Shares in respect of their Fractional Entitlements. Further information about
the treatment of Fractional Entitlements is set out below.

Well this is going private by the looks of things; probably a reasonable move as with lower costs and a balance sheet restructuring then dividends could be on the agenda. Not really tempted at selling for less than 7p a share.

Sorry for pointing the obvious but NBA Quantum is a very small and thinly traded micro cap so expect wild price swings as the norm. IMHO still very undervalued.

NBA Quantum PLC
27 March 2008


NBA Quantum PLC (the 'Group')

Interim Results for the six months to 31 December 2007

NBA Quantum PLC, the specialist Management Consultant to the construction and
engineering, petrochemical, marine and associated industries announces its
interim results for the six months ended the 31 December 2007.

Financial Highlights

The profit before tax has remained steady at £67,311 on a turnover of
£1,441,452. The earnings per share is 0.86p (2006:0.86p).

Review of Operations

In my Chairman's Statement with the Annual Accounts in 2007, I referred to the
measures introduced in the financial year 2006/07 to improve the Group's
performance. These interim results show that these changes have now been
consolidated and I am pleased to say that we are seeing a more consistent
performance as a result.


Quantum International Consulting Limited and Taylor Rumford Consulting Limited

As the integration of the Taylor Rumford acquisition continues, we are now
seeing the benefits this is bringing to the Group. Further savings have been
achieved through the closure of the Chichester office, the centralising of the
Accounts and Administration functions and we continue to seek ways of reducing
overhead costs.


Having acquired Taylor Rumford, the Board is now looking to add to the Group's
turnover and range of services offered by seeking further small scale
acquisitions. On 19 March 2008 we announced the acquisition of the goodwill of
Technisolve Limited, a management consultancy services business, specialising in
claims development and dispute resolution to the construction and engineering
sectors. I hope to be able to report further progress on these issues at the
year end.

We continue to add to the strength of the Management team and I am delighted to
be able to announce the appointment of Jon Coates as Operations Director for the
UK and Europe. Jon has a wealth of relevant experience and new contacts to bring
to our business and I am sure that Jon will make a significant contribution to
our UK Management team.


Quantum International Consulting Pty. Ltd and Lucid Edge Pty. Ltd

The performance of the Australian operation has remained steady in the first six
months of the year, particularly in the multi-media sector, and we are now
seeing improvements in the Far East market which we hope to benefit from in the
next six months.


Quantum International Consulting Qatar

The new self-management team in Qatar and Dubai has continued to develop the
business in the Middle East generally and the increase in turnover has been most
satisfactory. Opportunities in the region are exciting and I have every
confidence that we will be able to report s continued growth in the second half
of the year.


Bionic Productions Limited

The slow down in the PFI market continued to reflect in the downturn of work for
Bionic Productions Limited but the cost saving measures introduced by the Board
during the last six trading months have now been effective in eliminating any
further significant losses.


DMS International Inc.

Following the completion of the disposal of DMS International Inc., the
Management continues to review its operational options for future years in the
USA.


Summary

The first half of the year has seen a continuation of profit levels as the
benefits flow from actions taken by management. We intend to continue with
measures to improve profitability and expect work in Europe, the Middle East and
Far East to add to these successes.

We are confident that we will be able to continue making progress with the new
management structures and procedures and expect to see the full effects of these
changes in the near future.

We currently have an exciting portfolio of new work in the UK, Europe, the
Middle East and Far East and look forward with confidence to further
developments in each of these areas.

Anyone watching? Results were quite good actually.
P&L is messy with disposals, restructuring etc. Continuing business appeared to make £150k PBT.
The share price is currently trading at NAV (excluding goodwill) which appears a tad low. Not really tempted to buy any more myself, but does look encouraging now.
