Is there anybody there ??

Just in case anyone is interested MAP's slip into a loss of £577k from a profit of £904k is not as bad as would first seem as last years profit was primarily due to an exceptional write back of £910k resulting from redemption of convertible unsecured loan stock and the cancellation of a director's loan to the company.

Indeed the very detailed statement accompanying the first half results appears to be fairly positive & optimisitic in the long term.

Also the late 2.5p tick-up today on no trades, the first upward movement since the share consolidation in Oct 2004, would appear to indicate & confirm that the disappointing loss has already been written into the share price, particularly as it has been on a constant downward trend for around 15 months.

IMHO, the worst seems to be in the past & significant recovery may not be too far away although most would probably still consider MAP as a speculative investment- could however be one to tuck away for any investors looking for long term gains.

Not sure of anyone has been looking at this one recently, as it has been a bit dead in the water here for months.

On the face of it there appears little to cheer about for those long-suffering shareholders (myself being one of them !!) & I am a bit puzzled about what's been going on here over the last couple of trading days ??

After months of virtually zero inactivity MM's have suddenly dropped the price 2 days in a row by around 10p on the strength of no news, no trades & no rumours ??

Unless anyone else is aware of anything significant about to happen I guess this could mean one of several things IMHO:-

1) MM's are trying to drop the price to get hold of more stock in anticipation of good news ahead (which could be seen as a positive sign, long term).

2) MM's are trying to drop the price to encourage investors to buy-in, in order to satisfy a large delayed sell order by a shareholder trying off-load stock, due to the stock's illiquidity (which of course could be seen as pretty negative !!).

3) Significant delayed sells over the last couple of days not yet showing up.

4) MM's have got wind of trouble ahead and/or possibly an anticipated downrating.

Who knows ??

Is there anyone else who flits in here from time to time who may have any incling as to what the MM's are up to here & why ?

Someone must be about to dump their big holdings into the rise that we retail investors generate.

Maybe got wind off one of the products to be launched as stated in the last Interim results:

A number of new products are under preparation, designed to address specific
investment needs. None of them rely on any sudden rebound in investor sentiment
for a successful launch, and we hope to move ahead with the first one of them
shortly.

Results for the year ended 30 June 2002



Chairman's Statement



A global bear market in equities is not the easiest background for building the
foundations of a new investment business, but in spite of all the gloom and
volatility MG Capital has managed to make some good progress during and since
the year under review.



Our focus is now very much on the establishment of new investment funds for
which as a group we can provide management, administration, advice or other
services. In February 2002 the Elite MoneyGuru Income with Growth Trust was set
up with our FSA regulated subsidiary MoneyGuru Limited as its portfolio adviser.
The performance record of this unit trust in its first eight months has been
outstanding. Over that period it is 5th out of its UK Equity Income peer group
of 83 funds and has outperformed the FT All-Share (total return) Index by 10.8%
as at 5th December 2002. As investors take off their hard hats we believe they
will see the attraction of a fund offering good prospects for growth and
supported by a reasonable yield. The trust is currently still small in size,
but with its track record now established, albeit still relatively short in
duration, we intend to market this trust energetically over the rest of the
year.



January 2002 saw the launch of Resources Investment Trust. Our subsidiaries
MoneyGuru Limited and Rectory House Associates Limited had been working for some
time on this self-administered investment trust, and they were rewarded by
finally booking very satisfactory one-off fees, amounting in total to some
#380,000. I suggested at the interim stage that the success of this launch
would give us the opportunity to get involved in the launch of other specialized
closed ended investment vehicles, and so it has proved. Almost immediately after
the Resources launch we started work with others on the launch of a new
self-administered investment trust to be invested in smaller companies located
principally in the UK. As with Resources, the aim was to assemble a ready-made
portfolio of shares in small growth stocks at a time when these stocks were
utterly out of favour and valuations had been hammered, by accepting
subscriptions to the trust in shares as well as in cash.



This new trust, New Opportunities Investment Trust plc, was in fact launched
just a few weeks ago on 25 September 2002. This will have a significant and
beneficial effect on MG Capital's financial position, which will be reflected at
the interim stage of the current financial year. MoneyGuru Limited has benefited
from fees amounting to #436,000 related to its work on the launch of the trust,
with a number of such fees still outstanding. Moreover a new group subsidiary,
NOIT Services Limited, has been appointed by the trust as the provider of
certain management services, including personnel, administration, accounting and
company secretarial services, subject to the overall control of the trust's
board. Under the terms of the management services agreement, NOIT Services is
entitled to an annual management charge of 1.5 per cent per annum of the net
asset value of the trust. NOIT Services will also be entitled to a performance
fee based on the performance of the Trust's net asset value over each half year,
at a rate of 10 per cent of gains in the net asset value in excess of 6 per cent
per annum (compounded annually), but payable only to the extent that the net
asset value of the trust exceeds its previous highest net asset value. At the
time of writing #22.3 million of capital has been raised by this Trust, with
expectations of further capital being raised in due course. Those interested in
further information about New Opportunities Investment Trust or in following its
progress can access its website at www.noit.co.uk.



As I noted above, there is still potential for New Opportunities Investment
Trust to add more assets in the short term, and we are ready to help it to do
so. Furthermore, the successful launch of this trust and its predecessor has
encouraged us to turn our minds to the possibility of other closed ended
investment vehicles which might be launched with our assistance. We believe that
a launch of another closed end fund, not necessarily along the same lines as New
Opportunities, is feasible before the end of our current financial year.



The successful launch of New Opportunities more than made up for the
postponement of the launch of K Fund, which was structured as an offshore
domiciled global "macro" fund. We are currently in discussions to change the
investment process and objectives of this fund with a view to moving forward
with it in a new form in the first half of 2003.



In the last Annual Report and then at the interim stage I reported on the
acquisition of Synergy Seminars Limited in September 2001, the starting of a
small financial advisory business under the trading name of Howard & Co, and the
subsequent decision to sell this business at its net asset value to the team
involved in setting it up. The view we took was that this business could grow
better as an independent business, whereas MG Capital should concentrate all its
energies and resources on building and servicing its investment products. We
have written off #524,000 attributable to our investment in Synergy Seminars.



As part of this sharpening of focus, expenses have been cut back significantly
throughout the year and are now at an appropriate level to support the growth of
a more tightly focused business. The costs of Rectory House Associates, our
corporate consultancy arm, have already been reduced to a bare minimum. Its
activities now fall outside our main area of focus but to the extent that they
do not any ongoing activities will in future be undertaken elsewhere in the
group.



In order to support the business while it moves to profitability we completed
two small issues of ordinary shares during the year under review, at the end of
November 2001 and in early December 2001, raising a total of #575,000. As
indicated at the interim stage, it is likely that shortly we will make a further
equity issue to support the development of the business.



It is obviously still early days for us in terms of assets under administration
or advice, but we believe we have succeeded in establishing a solid basis for
the development over the next few years of an exciting and substantial new
specialist investment business.



Our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Monday 10th February
2003 at 10.30 am at Ocean House, 10/12 Little Trinity Lane, London EC4V 2DH.
