Chairman's Interim Statement
During the six months ended 30 April 2004, Deep Sea Leisure has made good
progress and I am delighted to report a pre-tax profit of #261,000 on turnover
of #2.86million compared to a pre-tax loss of #22,800 on turnover of
#2.45million in the corresponding period. No interim dividend will be declared
by the Company.
The operational strategy and new marketing initiatives referred to in previous
statements continue to progress well at both aquariums and have contributed to a
slightly increased per capita spend of #10.78 and to a 16% increase in visitor
numbers to 265,812 compared with 229,363 during the same period last year.
As announced on 30th April 2004, Stuart Earley resigned as Managing Director and
the Board would like to thank him for the contribution he made to the Company.
The Board also announced the appointment of Sue Howarth as Finance Director and
the General Managers of Deep Sea World and Blue Planet will report directly to
Ms Howarth who in turn will report to Carlos Marina, the General Manager of the
Aspro Group and a non-executive director of Deep Sea Leisure.
Historically, the period under review is the quieter half of our financial year
and the Board is therefore encouraged by the financial performance of the
Company. The summer season has started slower than expected but the Board
remains cautiously optimistic for the full year.
