Preliminary Results for the Year ended 30 June 2008
Introduction
In our interim results for the six months ending 31st December 2007 we were able to demonstrate that the changes introduced by the Board
in 2007 had begun to deliver benefits as the company reported a return to profitability.
Although the second half of the year has proved to be more difficult than we anticipated, we have still managed to generate a profit. In
a year in which many companies are reporting losses, I am pleased to announce that the full year's profit before tax was �106,243 (2007 :
�204,541).
The measures implemented in 2007 have helped to maintain profit levels in difficult trading conditions and the Board is determined to
continue with its policy of keeping overheads under review and strengthening the management structure. I am quite confident therefore that
even in the current economic climate we will see improvements in the Group's performance in the next 12 months.
This performance has been achieved by a combination of the Board's policies and the dedication and hard work of the management team and
staff under the direction of the Chief Executive, Peter Elliott-Hughes. My thanks go to all those involved at this difficult time.
Group Companies
Quantum International ( QIC ) and Taylor Rumford Consulting ( TRCL )
The total integration of Taylor Rumford is now more or less complete and the benefits to the Group can now be more clearly seen.
In addition, as referred to in the half year results, I was able to report with great pleasure the appointment of Jon Coates to the
management team as Operations Director for the UK and Europe. Jon's appointment has been a great success and he has added significantly to
the strength of the management team in the short period he has been with us.
In addition we have continued to add to the strength of the UK operation by the acquisition of 51% of the shares in Rock Hunter in this
period. Rock Hunter offers a wide range of services to the construction industry including visualisation services for architectural clients,
multi-media services to dispute resolution issues and marketing and design for construction and engineering companies. We believe that the
potential for this range of services will grow substantially in the near future and that Rock Hunter will bring considerable benefits to the
Group.
Quantum International Consulting Pty. Ltd ( QICA )and Lucid Edge Pty. Ltd ( LE)
Whilst the operations of QICA have been less active this year those for LE have been encouraging. The Board retains high hopes that this
region will show improved results during the next 12 months and has taken the necessary steps to streamline this operation in preparation.
Quantum Qatar (QQ)
As reported in last year's accounts this company was formed as a joint venture between QIC and APM WLL in Qatar. Its performance since
then has been tremendously encouraging and has added significantly to the strength of the parent company in the short time since its start
up.
The initiative taken by the Chief Executive, with the full support of the Board, has proved therefore to be a very wise move.
Bionic Productions Ltd.
There had been little change in the market possibilities for this company during the year from that previously reported but there are
opportunities which are currently being developed, the outcomes of which are felt will be successful.
DMS International Inc. ( DMS )
Even with the current trading conditions in the USA, this still remains a potential market place for the company in the future and the
Board continues to monitor the situation. In the meantime, the Group continues to benefit from the terms of DMS's buy-back commitments.
Summary
I am very encouraged by developments within the Group during 2008 as we have consolidated our position in the market place, during a
period of very difficult trading conditions.
The Board and Chief Executive continue taking steps to ensure that we have maintained our diversified marketing and trading strategy
which we believe will now work to our advantage. We are looking forward to 2009 and anticipate a further improvement in our trading
opportunities both in the UK and overseas in this period.

Notes
1. The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2008.
The auditors
have reported on the accounts to 30 June 2008. Their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 237 (2)
or (3) of the
Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for 2008 will be finalised on the basis of the preliminary information presented by the
Directors
in this preliminary statement and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting.
Basis of preparation
The financial information is presented in pounds sterling and is prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements, upon which this financial information is based, have been prepared using accounting policies
consistent with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The disclosures required by IFRS 1 concerning the transition from UK GAAP to
IFRS are
given in note 26.
The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") at 30 June 2008 as well as all interpretations issued by the
International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") at 30 June 2008. The Group has not availed itself of early adoption options
in such
standards and interpretations.
In the current year, the group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB and the IFRIC
of the
IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 July 2007. The adoption of the
following IFRSs has
not impacted the audited financial statements.

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards and Interpretations which have not been
applied in these
financial statements were in issue but not yet effective:
IFRS 8 - Operating Segments

These Standards and Interpretations are not expected to have any significant impact on the group's financial statements, in their
periods of initial
application, except for the additional disclosures on operating segments when the relevant standard comes into effect for periods
commencing
on or after 1 January 2009.

7. Explanation of Transition to IFRS
The group has applied IFRS 1 "First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" as a starting point for reporting
under IFRS. The group's date of transition is 1 July 2006 and comparative information has been restated to reflect in the group's adoption
of IFRS except where otherwise required or permitted by IFRS 1.
IFRS 1 requires an entity to comply with each IFRS and IAS effective as the reporting date for its first financial statements prepared
under IFRS. As a general rule, IFRS 1 requires such standards to be applied retrospectively. However, the standard allows several optional
exemptions from full retrospective application.
The group has elected to take advantage of the following exemptions:
* business combinations made prior to 1 July 2006 will not be accounted for under IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and
as such the
value of goodwill in the balance sheet at that date will be the same amount under IFRS as that recorded in the UK GAAP
financial
statements, subject to the completion of an annual impairment review;
* to deem cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations to be zero as at 1 July 2006.
The reconciliations of equity at 1 July 2006 (date of transition to IFRS) and at 30 June 2007 (date of last UK GAAP financial
statements) and the reconciliation of loss for 2006 and 2007, as required by IFRS1, are set out below.
2007
�
Reconciliation of loss from UK GAAP to IFRS
UK GAAP loss for the financial period (286,233)
Amortisation of goodwill 251,324
Loss from continuing operations - IFRS �(34,909)
Reconciliation of net assets from UK GAAP to IFRS
Net assets per UK GAAP at 30 June 2007 4,843,570
Amortisation of goodwill 251,324
Net assets per IFRS at 30 June 2007 � 5,094,894
8. Goodwill
International Financial Reporting Standards require goodwill to be subject to review for impairment rather than regular
amortisation. Previously amortised amounts in the UK GAAP accounts for the year ended 30 June 2007 of �251,324 have been reversed in the
IFRS income statement. The effect of the transition on the balance sheet is shown above.
A detailed reconciliation document has been prepared and was circulated with the interim financial statements dated 31 December
2007. This document is published on the group website.
9. Copies of the Annual Report and Financial Statements
The Annual Report and Financial Statements are being posted to shareholders on 27 November 2008 and will shortly be available to
download from the Company's website at www.nbagroup.com. Further copies will be available from the company's registered office, 3000,
