Interim Results
Six Months ended 31 March 2007
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the half-year accounts for the six months ended 31st
March 2007.
Results
Following the sale of the Group's residential properties and the winding down of
the companies comprising the travel division, which I referred to in my
statement accompanying the full year results to 30th September 2006, Group
turnover for the half year to 31st March 2007 declined to #490,230 (2006:
#3,638,387). Within this is turnover from continuing operations of #487,315
showing a slight increase over the figure of #474,413 in 2006.
The majority of the Group turnover represents the trading results of Bettagrade
Ltd., the Group's hotel company, which continued to trade in line with previous
years.
Reflecting this discontinuance, the Group loss for the period has been greatly
reduced to #138,391 from #725,757 in 2006.
Strategy
The Board is actively seeking new business opportunities which can create
shareholder value in the future and is currently in the early stages of
discussions which may achieve this.
Dividend
The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend at the interim stage.
