Carte, commented as follows:- "The Chief Executive's comments on the Company's prospects were contained in ourAnnual Report. I am pleased to report that after trading unprofitably in thesecond half of last year we have traded profitably in the first quarter of thisyear, although conditions remain difficult. We have largely completed thephysical restructuring of the business following the demise of MG Rover. All ofthe former MG Rover sites have now been re-franchised other than the dealershipin Worthing, which will open as an Audi dealership by early September. To fullydeliver the potential of our re-franchised dealerships will take up to threeyears and whilst I am very encouraged by early signs, their full potential willnot be reached until 2008."
