The continued absence ofearly revenue reflects the challenges involved in planning and property leasingnegotiations, but your board remains confident that discussions underway duringthe period and subsequently will secure the initial project we are hoping for indue course. I am pleased to report that during the period we have been able to exploit thestrong positioning opportunities provided by our investment in ConvexConveyancing Ltd and our ownership of Harrell Hotels (Europe) Ltd. The setbackin our plans to develop a Courtyard by Marriott aparthotel at North BrentfordQuarter in West London means that project is now unlikely to be the first weshall be able to get underway. We are, however, progressing steadily with plansfor two alternative sites, in the Midlands and the North, and remain confidentwe shall be able to proceed with market and feasibility reports needed toconfirm the viability of the projects. At the same time, we are also continuing with our wider long-term objective tobecome a strategic investor in businesses we believe offer strong growthpotential. Alongside our interest in aparthotel opportunities, and allied tothem, we are well positioned to exploit the opportunities of our investment inConvex Conveyancing Ltd which, as I explained to shareholders with our finalresults for 2005, is a company providing a web-based technology platform for theconveyancing sector. We also remain alert to possibilities created by ourinvestment in Venue Solutions Ltd, a company specialising in the provision ofvenue management technologies and services. We continue to be solidly positioned to pursue this range of opportunities, withnet assets of £1,646,901 as at June 30, 2006, and cash balances of £369,445. The Directors' do not propose paying a dividend. As always, I would like to thank the small and hard-working team who continue towork hard to bring our first projects to fruition.
