I am pleased to report the results for the six months ended 30 June 2007.
During the period, the Company incurred a loss of �46,000, compared to a loss
of �30,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2006 and a loss of �473,000 for the
year ended 31 December 2006. The previous year's loss included �297,000 in
respect of a premium paid on redemption of loan notes and an �85,000 write-down
in the value of investments. The loss for the current period includes a write
down of investments of a further �12,000 and an additional premium on
redemption of loan notes of �10,000.
The Company had been in negotiations to acquire an investment company but
terminated discussions earlier this year.
Although the directors continue to review potential opportunities, none is
being pursued at present.

equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue. There
are no potential ordinary shares which are dilutive and therefore diluted loss
per share equals basic loss per share.
