CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report further progress by the Company in the first 6 months of
2007.

Turnover has increased by just over 50% compared with the same period in 2006,
to £1.662million from £1.104million.

Our costs have increased more or less in line with this growth, primarily
reflecting our headcount increases in the second half of last year but,
overall, we have seen strong progress in trading revenues and another
significant increase in profitability. Our operating profit in this period was
28% higher than the same period last year (£367,000 versus £286,000) and our
profit before tax was 34% higher (£313,000 versus £234,000).

So, whilst we continue to address diligently our cash management, debt
reduction/ balance sheet issues, we continue to see strong trading progress.
Witness four consecutive six-month periods of pre-tax profits with each
six-months showing growth over the preceding six months.

We continue to build a stronger and more dynamic Company, so we see no reason
why this significant progress should not continue for the immediate future. I
congratulate all in the Company on this very positive performance and in the
turnaround in the Company's fortunes that it represents.

J BARTLE
Chairman

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT                                          

1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION
   
The results for the six months ended 30 June 2007, which are unaudited, have
been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the
historical cost convention.

The financial information set out in this document which has been neither
audited nor reviewed by the auditors does not comprise the statutory accounts
of the Company within the meaning of section 240(5) of the Companies Act 1985.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and of its
subsidiary undertaking Garner International Limited, a company incorporated in
England and Wales. Profits or losses on intra-group transactions are eliminated
in full.

2.  EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE
   
The calculation of the earnings per share is based on the profit attributable
to ordinary shareholders of £219,000 (2006: £234,000) and the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, being 37,968,937 (2005:
1,167,118,360).

The 30 June 2006 profit attributable to ordinary shareholders had been reported
as £200,000 and used as the basis for calculating earnings per share. This
number has now been restated to £234,000 due to the requirement for the company
to comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Note 4 below
contains the details regarding this change.

The requirement for the company to comply with International Financial
Reporting Standards has also resulted in the restatement of the profit
attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2006 and
therefore the earnings per share figure covering that period. Note 4 below
contains details regarding this change.

Investments, which represent goodwill, have been adjusted by £34,000, being the
amortisation charge for the year. In line with International Financial
Reporting Standards, goodwill has not been amortised from the transition date,
but has instead been subject to an impairment review. The review has concluded
that goodwill is not impaired.

Investments, which represent goodwill, have been adjusted by £67,000, being the
amortisation charge for the year. In line with International Financial
Reporting Standards, goodwill has not been amortised from the transition date,
but has instead been subject to an impairment review. The review has concluded
that goodwill is not impaired.

Aim Compliance Committee

In accordance with AIM Rule 31 the Company is required to have in place
sufficient procedures, resources and controls to enable its compliance with the
AIM Rules; seek advice from its nominated adviser ("Nomad") regarding its
compliance with the AIM Rules whenever appropriate and take that advice into
account; provide the Company's Nomad with any information it requests in order
for the Nomad to carry out is responsibilities under the AIM Rules for
Companies and the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers; ensure that each of the
Company's directors accepts full responsibility, collectively and individually,
for compliance with the AIM Rules; and ensure that each director discloses
without delay all information which the Company needs in order to comply with
AIM Rule 17 (Disclosure of Miscellaneous Information) insofar as that
information is known to the director or could with reasonable diligence be
ascertained by the director.

In order to ensure that these obligations are being discharged, the Board has
established a committee of the Board (the "AIM Committee"), chaired by Richard
Robinson, a non executive director of the Company.

Having reviewed relevant Board papers, and met with the Company's Executive
Board and the Nomad to ensure that such is the case, the AIM Committee is
satisfied that the Company's obligations under AIM Rule 31 have been satisfied
during the period under review.
