Interim Results
Chairman's Statement
The Board of Bolton Group (International) Limited announces the unaudited,
consolidated results for the six month period ended 31 October 2004.
Results
The Group has made a loss before tax of #34,000 (2003: loss before tax
#188,000). The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
Review of Operations
The Company is currently reviewing the future strategy and will be looking to
make investments in areas that will maximise shareholders value. Islington
Primary Care Trust has taken occupation of Angel House, the Company's main
asset.
As stated in the Company's Annual Report, regretfully in the past 12 months, the
Company has been involved in substantial litigation to regain its main asset,
which frustrated any attempts to move the Company forward. This matter having
been settled leaves the Company free to investigate opportunities.
