CHAIRMAN 'S STATEMENT
The audited results for the twelve months ended 31 December 2003 showed that
your Company incurred a profit, both before and after taxation of #5,798,000
(full year ended 31 December 2002 #1,054,000 loss before taxation) on turnover
of #nil (full year ended 31 December 2002 #74,000). The results for the year
include, as an exceptional item, the net amount that has been waived by the
Company's creditors following the Creditors Voluntary Arrangements.
At present the Company does not conduct business and is a cash shell and as
stated in my last report we are actively seeking a suitable acquisition to allow
us to re-establish shareholder value going forward. Further announcements will
be made on our progress in this regard in due course.
The audited accounts for the 12 months to 31 December 2003 will be sent to
shareholders and together with copies of this announcement are available from
the Company's registered office, Finsgate, 5-7 Cranwood Street, London, EC1V 9EE
for a period of 30 days from the date hereof.
