CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Following the Company's successful flotation on the AIM Market in February 2005,
the investment policy of the Company continues to aim to exploit growth
opportunities in the property sector and motor retailing within China. The
market for high specification commercial property is growing rapidly whilst
demand for high value European sports cars continues to outstrip supply.
For the period ended 31 July 2005, the Company made a loss of £168,621, with
general and administrative expenses amounting to £168,777, and a small amount of
interest income. Included within expenses were £41,942 of legal fees and
£109,971 of professional fees. At the year end the Company had net assets of
£31,379 and cash of £94,746.
In line with the amended AIM rules, a resolution will be proposed at the AGM to
gain shareholder approval for the Company's investment strategy. The directors
are confident that a suitable investment opportunity, in line with the Company's
stated strategy, will be identified in the near future in order to generate
increased shareholder value.
