CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
 
I am pleased to present the Chairman's Statement for Sky High Plc for the year 
to 31 March 2009. 
 
 
Results 
 
 
In line with many businesses, the current global economic climate has had an 
adverse effect on the company's performance during the current year. During the 
second half of the year the company's traffic data businesses in the UK and 
Australia have experienced fluctuating demand and increasing price pressure in a 
very competitive market place. 
 
 
Despite this I am pleased to report that the results for the year show a profit 
after tax of GBP133k (2008: GBP143k). Turnover was GBP5.1m in the period which 
shows growth of 21% compared to GBP4.2m in the same period the previous year. 
 
 
Prospects 
 
 
The Board has faced some difficult decisions in recent months and I believe that 
the efforts made to keep costs as flexible and efficient as possible in addition 
to the ongoing investment in the sales and marketing plan will stand the company 
in good stead. 
 
 
The Board is very pleased with the company's performance in the current economic 
climate and is encouraged about its future prospects. The investment in the new 
offices in Luton and Cardiff has already proved a positive move and the company 
will continue to look into further investments as it feels appropriate. 
 
 
On 1 September 2008, the company acquired 100% of the share capital of Halifax 
Computer Services Limited. I am pleased to report that Halifax Computer Services 
Limited has contributed GBP295k turnover and GBP36k profit before tax in the 
period since acquisition and the future prospects look very promising. Halifax 
Computer Services Limited has now been fully integrated into Sky High Technology 
Limited and its results will therefore be included in the Financial Statements 
of this business in future. 
 
 
The costs of maintaining the Plc have been well controlled. The costs in the 
year were GBP89k compared to GBP144k the previous year. 
 
 
Overall, the company expects the market place to remain challenging during the 
next 12 months. However, we do believe that by maintaining the focus on the 
quality of our service and by continuing to invest in our sales and marketing 
effort we will continue to be successful. 
 
 
Dividend 
 
 
The Directors have proposed the payment of a final dividend of 0.5p per share 
that will be paid to shareholders on 30 October 2009, with an ex-dividend date 
of 23 September 2009 and a record date of 25 September 2009, subject to 
shareholder approval at its annual general meeting on 26 October 2009. 
 
 
The directors are hopeful of maintaining the dividend policy set this year but 
this will be reviewed against the company's working capital needs and against 
the plans for future growth. 
 
 
Annual General Meeting 
 
 
The Annual General Meeting of Sky High Plc will be held at 32 Bedford Row, 
London, WC1R 4HE on 26 October 2009 at 2.00pm. 
 
 
Directors and Employees 
 
 
Finally, I would like to say thank you to all the directors and employees of Sky 
High Plc and its associated companies. In particular, I would like to thank all 
the employees of Sky High Technology Limited for their support during February 
and March 2009 when it was necessary to introduce reduced working hours.
