INTERIM RESULTS
For The Six Months Ended 30 June 2005
Chairman's Statement
Highlights.
* Turnover up fourfold to #289,026 (2004: #74,219).
* Gross profit #190,253 (2004: #13,554)
* Operating loss before exceptional items reduced to #63,377 (2004: loss
#173,005)
* Purchase completed of a 12% stake in AGI, management company to SIIT,
a profitable Chinese University, for #1.0m.
* Record profits at AGI in year ended June 2005 of #2.4m, paving the way
for an autumn admission to Ofex
* Tangible pipeline of new investments progressing.
There has been a significant increase in group turnover, as the effects of the
acquisition of English 2000, our 100% owned UK language School, are felt.
English 2000 has altered the course mix and introduced new marketing methods in
order to grow the business. We will continue to seek ways to add value to this
investment, including developing into new markets.
The Company made an investment in February of #1 million for 12% of AGI,
management company for SIIT, a profitable Chinese University in Shandong
Province. AGI reported post tax profits of #2.4 million for the year ended 30
June 2005.
In June SIIT completed a major expansion, adding capacity for a further 5,000
students, the profits from which will feed through into 2006 results. SIIT is
planning a second phase of expansion, due to be completed in the summer of 2006,
for which AGI will raise further funds via a listing on OFEX, scheduled for this
autumn. Europasia is seeking to invest additional funds in AGI on its OFEX
float, and is currently exploring several financing options to raise the
necessary funds.
Following the success of this investment, I am pleased to report that our China
based team is seeking additional investment opportunities in China.
Due to it's small size as part of our portfolio, the board has decided to merge
Management International with other operations which will, in time, reduce
overheads and increase margins in this business. The board has therefore decided
to write off the goodwill relating to its investment in Management
International, which results in a one-off charge to the Profit and Loss account
of #173,038.
The Board has also taken the decision to provide #66,040 against its hitorical
investments in EnterpriseAsia plc, listed on AIM, and Value Convergence, listed
in Hong Kong. These investments were made by the previous management team.
As a result of the provisions against investments, totalling #239,078, the
overall loss for the period is #333,581 (2004 loss #182,083).
The Company has reached an important point in its development, with the
potential uplift on its investment in AGI, reduced overheads and increasing
contribution from E2000. I look forward to building on recent progress and
pursuing the investment opportunities currently under consideration in both the
UK and China.
