The company has returned to profitable trading during the review                
period. Major changes are continuing in especially one division                 
which is still lagging behind in performance. When concluded, these             
steps will further enhance profitability. Trading results for the               
second half year are expected to be positive in spite of                        
indications that economic conditions may be less favourable than in             
the first six months of the financial year.
