CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2009
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present my Chairman's report covering the year ended 31 December
2009. During the year under review, the Company reported a loss of GBP83,962 and
as at 31 December 2009 had liquid cash balances of GBP3,269,514 (2008:
GBP3,355,556). Various investment propositions were reviewed during the year and
the overheads reflect the abortive costs of proposed transactions. Although none
as yet have met the Board's investment criteria, the search continues for a
suitable opportunity. I look forward to updating shareholders on progress in due
course.
Craig Niven
Chairman

1. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
The comparative figures cover the period from 20th December 2007, the date of
incorporation, to 31st December 2008.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European
Union.
Trading income
Trading income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic
benefit will flow to the Company and the trading income can be reliably
measured.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash in hand, demand deposits and
short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash, subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a
maturity of less than 3 months from the date of acquisition.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash in hand and bank deposits.
Taxation
The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the period.
Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement
because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in
other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or
deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax
rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation
Deferred income tax is provided for using the liability method on temporary
timing differ-ences at the balance sheet date between tax basis of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in full for all temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differ-ences
carried forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent that
it is prob-able that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, and carry-forward of unused tax credits and
unused losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is assessed at each balance
sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are
reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that is
probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be
recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that
are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability
settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at
the balance sheet date.
Share-based payments
Certain Directors of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based
payment transactions (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined with reference to the fair
value at the date on which they were granted. The fair value is determined by
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a
corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the service
conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees
become fully entitled to the award ("the vesting date"). The cumulative expense
recognised for equity-settled transactions at each re-porting date until the
vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the
Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately
vest. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement
in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
The dilutive effect of the outstanding options is reflected as
additional dilution in the compu-tation of earnings per share.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the
Company's balance sheet when the Company becomes a contractual party to the
instrument.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at their fair value which equates to
their nominal value as reduced by appropriate provision for irrecoverable
amounts and subsequently at amortised cost.
Trade payables
Trade payables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently at
amortised cost.
Accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRSs
requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances
that affect reported amounts. The most sensitive estimate affecting the
financial statements is the area of share based payments. Actual outcomes may
therefore differ from these estimates and assumptions.
In determining the fair value of equity settled share based payments and the
related charge to the income statement, the Company makes assumptions about
future events and market conditions. In particular, judgment must be made as to
the likely number of shares that will vest and the fair value of each award
granted. The fair value is determined using a valuation model which is
dependent on further estimates including the Company's future dividend policy,
employee turnover, the timing of the exercise of options and the future
volatility in the price of the Company's shares.
Such assumptions are based on publicly available information and reflect market
expectations. Different assumptions from those used (which are disclosed in
note 9) could materially affect the reported value of share based payments. The
Company has recognised a corresponding increase in equity in accordance with
IFRS 2: Share based payments by crediting "Share based payment reserve" (a
component of equity) for the issue of shares in connection with the share
options.
Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The Company has not early adopted the following new and amended IAS,
IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations issued. The relevant new and amended IAS, IFRS

· Amendments to IFRIC 14 IAS 19 - Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset,

periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011)
The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and

statements of the Company in its current form.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of earnings per share is based on the loss of GBP83,962
(2008: GBP2,765) and on the number of shares in issue, being the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the period of 23,080,002 (2008:
16,641,695) ordinary GBP0.01 shares. There is no dilutive effect of share
options on the basic earnings per share, as the option exercise prices are
higher than the average market price in the period.

The fair value of equity settle share options granted is estimated as at the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account
the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The following
table lists the inputs into the model used for the period ended 31st December
2008:
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| | | 2008 |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| | | |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| Dividend yield on underlying shares | | 0% |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| Risk free rate | | 4% |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| Expected volatility | | 22.36% |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| Average time to expiry | | 1 year |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| Weighted average share price of options | | 20p |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
| | | ========== |
+---------------------------------------------+---------+------------+
The expected life of the options is based on an estimate and is not
necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected
volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative
of future trends, which may also not be the actual outcome.
