I am pleased to present the half-yearly accounts to the 30th June 2008.
You will be aware from the media and other sources that the state of theproperty market and financial markets is currently very challenging. In today'smarket conditions the values of commercial sites, even those with planningconsents, have been severely affected. My fellow Directors and I continue towork extremely hard to limit any impairment to the value of your Company'sassets.The Board does not expect the situation to improve in the short term and, as aconsequence, I expect Amicrest's NAV to reduce further by the end of thecurrent financial year. Obviously, the longer the property recession continues,the greater will be the challenge facing your Company.Gerard A. LeeChairman30 September 2008AMICREST HOLDINGS PLC
