    Chairman's statement

    This will be my last Chairman's statement to you as I intend to step down at the forth coming Annual General Meeting.

    Densitron Technologies plc is now a very different Group to the one I joined three years ago. 

    When I joined the Board as interim Chairman in May 2005 Densitron was in turmoil. The company's finances were precarious, its
operational structure was ineffective and the flow of information from subsidiaries was erratic. Shareholders, understandably, were furious.
My priorities were therefore to stabilise the Group's finances, to establish proper divisional reporting, to assess which businesses should
be sold and which should be retained and to devise a plan to create value for shareholders. 

    We agreed new facilities with our bankers, Barclays Bank PLC, and focused on either moving Group companies into profit or selling
loss-makers. With proper reporting in place, it soon became apparent that the public information displays division, for which we initially
had high hopes, in fact only had a limited future. This business was sold immediately for £1 million. We also realised that the Group did
not have the financial strength to see the Gaming division through its start up phase. This business was sold for a profit of £500,000. In
addition, Densitron will continue to share in the future business as we have a five year royalty agreement in place. The royalties payable
for the first eleven months of trading are ahead of our expectations.

    Our remaining operating division, Displays, is now solidly profitable, having made £1.1 million operating profit before Group overhead
and interest in 2007. Sales were lower than in 2006 partly as a result of the weakening of the US dollar against UK sterling and partly as a
result of a weak orderbook at the end of 2006. However an increase in margins and a reduction in administrative expenses resulted in a solid
profit for the year. Orders booked during 2007 were £16.3 million compared with £14.6 million in 2006 giving an orderbook at the end of 2007
of £7.4 million. These orders will help to underpin the business in 2008.

    Having addressed the difficulties with Group's operating activities, the Board has been able to focus on maximising its two key
investment assets. During 2007, agreement was reached for the sale of part of the sports ground in Blackheath to Greenwich Borough Council
for £1,233,985 and this was concluded on 21 December 2007. The sale of the strip of land enabled the Company to repay some of its borrowings
and this will see a reduction in interest payable over the next 6 months of some £78,000. The Company has retained a strip of land of
approximately 1.25 acres which the Board is planning to develop for residential housing and has appointed an Agent to manage the planning
process. The Land currently attracts a Metropolitan Land Order which prohibits development but the Board is confident that it will be able
to obtain re-designation for the land. When there are any significant developments shareholders will be kept informed.

    Evervision Electronics Limited (formerly VBest Electronics Corporation), the Group's investment in a displays manufacturing company in
Taiwan, remains a substantial asset for the Group with good potential upside. 

    Evervision has factories in both Taiwan and mainland China. 2007 began well for Evervision with significant orders requiring the
recruitment of new production personnel in its main factory in China. Due to a combination of poor training and poor supervision the
production line experienced a number of quality issues causing the production yield to be very poor. Consequently, the margin achieved in
the first half of 2007 was very poor causing Evervision to make a loss. These issues were addressed and the problems improved in the second
half of the year. During the second half of the year a decision was made to rationalise the production capabilities of Evervision which
resulted in the decision to close one of its Taiwanese factories. This resulted in a significant impairment of plant, property and equipment
resulting in a further significant loss in the second half of the year. However, despite the problems referred to above, Evervision
continued to generate cash during 2007 and by the end of the year it was carrying approximately £6m of net cash. The Board has recognised a temporary reduction in the value of the investment in the year and
considers that the carrying value of Evervision on the Balance sheet at £6.1m is reasonable.

    The restructuring of the group would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of our major shareholder Peter
Gyllenhammar who stood by us in our hour of need. I am pleased to report that we have repaid the majority of Peter's loan and are in the
process of repaying the balance. Jan Holmstrom has worked very closely with me since joining the board and I am very pleased that he has
agreed to take on the role of Chairman after I step down

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank the directors and staff at Densitron for their continuing commitment to the company and
our shareholders for their continuing support.

    Outlook and strategy - The strategy for the Displays business continues to be organic growth and opportunistic strategic acquisitions
should they arise. In 2007 it was more profitable than in 2006 and continues to grow steadily. We are making good progress in unlocking the
value of the land in Blackheath where we believe that a patient approach to re-designation will produce very material returns in relation to
Densitron's market capitalisation. Meanwhile, Evervision has weathered a tough 2007, demonstrating its resilience. We confidently expect
further progress in 2008.

    Notes to the preliminary results

    1. Basis of preparation

    The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting
Standards and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European
Union (Adopted IFRSs) and with those parts of the Companies Act 1985 applicable to companies preparing their accounts under Adopted IFRSs.
This is the first time the Group has prepared its financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, having previously prepared its financial
statements in accordance with UK accounting standards. Details of the transition from UK accounting standards to IFRSs have affected the
Group's reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows are given in note 2 to the Preliminary Announcement.

    The accounting policies applied are consistent with those set out in the financial statements of Densitron Technologies plc for the year
ended 31st December 2006 as amended in the Restatement for IFRS referred to above. The financial information in the announcement is
unaudited and does not constitute the company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31st December 2007 or 2006. The financial information
for the year ended 31st December 2006 is derived from the statutory accounts for that year, which were prepared under UK GAAP, which have
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified, did not include
references to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their reports and did not contain
statements under the Companies Act 1985, s 237(2) or (3).

    The statutory accounts for the year ended 31st December 2007, prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, will be finalised
on the basis of the financial information presented by the directors in this preliminary announcement and will be delivered to the registrar
of Companies following the company's annual general meeting.

    In preparing these financial statements, the Group has elected to apply the following transitional arrangements permitted by IFRS 1
'First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards':
    *     Business combinations effected before 1st January 2006 have not been restated.
    *     The carrying amount of capitalised goodwill at 31st December 2005 that arose on business combinations accounted for using the
acquisition method under UK GAAP was frozen at this amount and tested for impairment at 1st January 2006.
    *     Goodwill written-off directly to reserves on business combinations effected before 1 January 1998 has not retrospectively been
capitalised and will not be transferred to the income statement on the disposal of the subsidiary to which it relates.
    *     Only those exchange differences arising on the retranslation of foreign operations since 1st January 2006 have been recognised as
a separate component of equity.

    Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. In addition, the comparative income
statement has been re-presented as if an operation discontinued during the current period had been discontinued from the start of the
comparative period. A full reconciliation between previously reported financial statements prepared under UK GAAP and on the basis as stated
above will be included in our Annual Report and Accounts.

    Notes to the IFRS Adjustments

    a) Goodwill amortisation
    Under UK GAAP, goodwill is amortised over its expected useful life, whereas under IFRS goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life
and is not amortised, but is tested for impairment annually. This adjustment reverses the amortisation charged in the year to 31st December
2006.

    b) Impairment of goodwill
    Impairment provisions have been made in both the years ended 31st December 2005 and 31st December 2006. Adjustments have been made to
reflect the impairment of goodwill.

    c) Financial assets
    The investment in Evervision electronics Limited (formerly VBest Electronics Co. Limited) has been accounted for as a fixed asset
investment at its cost less impairment under UK GAAP. The Group owns 24.48% of the equity of Evervision and under adopted IFRS is required
to consider its ability to exercise influence on the presumption that it has significant influence which would make Evervision an associate.
The Group does not have significant influence over the financial or operating policies of Evervision and has consequently accounted for its
holding as a financial asset available for sale at fair value under this policy.

    Deferred consideration due on sales of investments was treated under UK GAAP and debtors due in more than one year. Under adopted IFRS
the substance of these transactions result in these amounts being treated as loans within financial assets and accounted for using the
effective interest method.

    d) Discontinued Activities
    Under adopted IFRS the results of discontinued activities can be shown as an item after loss for the period on continuing operations.

    e) Non Current Assets Held for Sale
    Under IFRS 5 assets whose carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continuing use are
classified as non current assets held for sale. The Sportsground that the Company owns in Blackheath is one such asset. At the 31st December
2006 the Company was in advanced negotiation with the Local Authority regarding the disposal of this asset.

    In addition the sale of the Gaming business took place on 31st January 2007. At 31st December 2006 negotiations of the sale were in
progress and principal terms had been agreed. As such those assets subject to the sale have been classified as non current assets held for
sale. 

    f) Cumulative translation differences
    Under IAS 21 cumulative translation differences for foreign operations should be disclosed within a translation reserve as a separate
part of equity. These differences are those arising only since the transition date.

    g) Warrants
    Under IFRS 2 the Company is required to recognise an expense for the provision of services in exchange for the issuance of shares or
rights to shares. The issuance of fully vested shares, or rights to shares, is presumed to relate to past services, requiring the full
amount of the grant-date fair value to be expensed immediately. A similar adjustment would have been required by FRS 20; the adjustment
would therefore have resulted in a prior year adjustment, were the company reporting under UK GAAP.

    3. Business and Geographical segments

    The Group manages its business by reporting by business segment and by geographical location of the business segment. The business
segments that the Group has operated in are displays, gaming boards and public information displays. Following the disposal of the gaming
board and public information displays divisions the group manages its remaining displays business on a geographical basis.

    Inter-segment transfer pricing is based on the level of work carried out and the risk encountered by each party in order to make a third
party sale.
