Voss Net PLC31 March 2006 VOSS NET PLC ("Voss Net" or "the Company") ACCOUNTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 31 DECEMBER 2005 OVERVIEW The Company is actively pursuing a suitable acquisition to enhance shareholdervalue. Financial Results The unaudited accounts for the six months to 31 December 2005 show an operatingloss of £73,000 and a loss per share of 0.037p (0.035p fully diluted). Cash Flow and Funding The Company had £604,000 in hand at 31 December 2005. However this was distortedby £500,000 of third party funds held by the Company in advance of a possiblecorporate transaction which did not take place. These funds were returned to thethird parties shortly after the year end. Net of the above, the cash in hand was£104,000 and this is considered sufficient to cover future routine expenditure. Outlook The quotation of the Company's shares on the AIM Market was restored on 23 June2005. We continue to actively seek a suitable acquisition and an announcementwill be made as soon as a deal is concluded.
