Chairman's Statement
Overview
When I last reported to you, the Group had already begun to feel the positive
effects of the overhead restructuring carried out in the first half of 2002. I
am pleased to say that these benefits have continued through the first half of
this year and, together with a 6.1% overall increase in sales, have resulted in
a Group operating profit of #200,000 compared with an operating loss of
#2,073,000 in the same period last year.
UK & Europe
During the first half of this year, the level of order taking has begun to
improve and some larger deals have reappeared. In April 2003 the Board announced
that a #400,000 agreement to supply Adapt to The Rullion Group had been
concluded. Negotiations are continuing with a number of other potential
customers and your Board expects to be able to announce further contracts in the
near future.
There has also been an increase in the recurring revenue streams and in
particular, with Adapt VMS, our Managed Services product, which now provides
significant monthly income.
North America
I am pleased to say that we have seen a considerable improvement in business
prospects in the United States. In my last report I emphasised our need to
evolve there and to maximise our offerings in niche markets. This strategy has
been successful and has so far this year resulted in two major orders in the
Healthcare Staffing sector, one with StarMed Staffing Group which we announced
on 18 July 2003 and the second with Career Staff.
Australia and Asia Pacific
Our Australian subsidiary has continued its success, recently concluding their
largest order to date worth around #150,000.
Product Development
Having resisted the temptation to cut back on product development, the Group has
actually increased efforts in this area in order to ensure that we continue to
offer the most advanced software solutions. In the first six months of the year
the Group spent #551,000 with further development projects planned for the
second half. The result will be a range of software solutions second to none in
the recruitment industry and which the Board believes will enhance the Company's
position in the UK market and overseas.
Outlook
Business conditions continue to improve. The rate of order take is increasing
and some of the larger deals have begun to re-emerge. These factors, together
with the exciting products that we have in development, will ensure that we are
well positioned to benefit from this continuing upturn.

3. Earnings/(loss) per share
The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share is based on attributable
profit for the period of #92,000 (June 2002 - loss #1,961,000; year ended 31
December 2002 - loss #1,970,000) and on 14,297,232 ordinary shares (June 2002 &
year ended 31 December 2002 - 14,297,232) being the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the period.
The diluted earnings/(loss) per share is based on attributable profit for the
period of #92,000 and on
14,300,216 ordinary shares calculated as follows:
Number
Basic weighted average number of shares 14,297,232
Diluted potential ordinary shares:
