Enquiries:iPoint Media Plc +972 3606 1600Simon Marks Cairn Financial Advisers LLP +44 20 7148 7900Liam Murray / Avi Robinson CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENTThe past year has been a year of major transition for the Company during whichwe underwent a major restructuring of our debt and business. As a result ofthis the Company cancelled its outstanding debt to the holders of the £1,408,000 of unsecured loan notes and reduced the holding in its formeroperating subsidiaries (iPoint Media Ltd and All New Video (UK) Limited) toretain only a residual interest of approximately 5.48% in these companies (heldvia iPoint plc).Following the restructuring of the Company's debt and business described above,the Company changed focus to that of an investing company and adopted a newinvestment strategy, pursuant to which we will seek to acquire or invest incompanies in the technology sector in Europe, the Far East and North America.The Company intends to undertake a transaction or a series of transactions thatwill constitute a reverse takeover in accordance with the AIM Rules.
The new investment strategy was approved by shareholders at the general meeting held on 14 December 2010 and, as required by the AIM Rules, we must seek shareholder approval of the investment strategy at each annual general meeting.
Although the investment strategy is broad at the moment, the directors are confident that this will be of benefit to shareholders and we are active in assessing opportunities in accordance with this strategy. We are currently evaluating a number of projects, which we believe have the potential to fulfill our investment criteria and build shareholder value. We look forward to updating shareholders on these developments at the appropriate time.
Full details of the Company's investment strategy are available on the Company's website www.ipoint-media.co.uk.
Financials
The period under review relates to the operation of the Company's formeroperating subsidiaries (iPoint Media Ltd and All New Video (UK) Limited), inwhich, following the completion of the restructuring, the Company retains onlya minor residual interest.Following the restructuring, the Company changed focus to that of an investingcompany and is now moving ahead with its new investment strategy. Consequentlythese financial results are not reflective of the current operations of theCompany.
During the period under review the Group generated revenues of £499,326 ($771,249) for the year ended 31 December 2010 compared to £1,275,908 ($1,990,416) for the year ended 31 December 2009 and gross profit of £404,707 ($262,017) compared to £1,065,509 ($1,662,194) in 2009.
The Company's investment strategy has changed since the restructure. TheCompany is now a shell company listed on AIM. The aim is to carry out a deal byDecember 2011, for which fundraising will be required, at the very least tocover the transaction costs. However, if a deal is not carried out by December2011, the directors would have to consider the future of the Company.
Outlook
The directors believe that the Company is well placed to progress as we look to apply our new investment strategy focused on the technology sector. We have identified a number of projects and investment opportunities which are currently under assessment with a view to maximising our position as an investment company and executing a transaction to the benefit of shareholders.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board and our shareholders for their support throughout this transitional time for the Company.
