MANAGEMENTS' COMMENTARYFOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 APRIL 2009REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS
Turnouer was £252,698 as compared with £355,418 for the same period last year. This has resulted in a pre-tax loss of £22,690 as against a loss of £416 for the same period.
A slight recovery in recent months leads your Directors to hope that the second half of the year will show an improvement on the results of the first half year, however trading remains difficult.
