Preliminary Results

The Board of Bolton Group (International) Limited ('Bolton Group' or 'the 
Group') real estate holding and development group, announces its preliminary 
unaudited results for the year ended 30 April 2004.


Chairman's Statement

Review of operations

As announced previously, in January 2004, the company had moved to protect its 
position and has obtained a High Court Freezing Injunction preventing the 
transfer or removal of the company's former principle asset, Angel House pending 
resolution of the company's legal attempt to retain title to the aforesaid 
asset. Urania Securities Limited was the sole owner of the building known as 
Angel House.

The Board would like to inform the shareholders of the outcome of a settlement 
reached at Mediation on 25 August 2004.

According to the agreement reached on 25 August 2004, within 10 weeks the 
company will have to pay the sum of #670,000 to the third defendant, Mileplace 
Limited, and upon completion of that transaction the shares and consequently, 
Angel House will return to the company.

The company in its present position does not have the required funding to pay 
this sum and other outstanding debts. The Directors of the company are taking 
all necessary steps to either raise funds on the property or sell the property.

In either case the directors are satisfied that they would be in a position to 
comply with the terms of the agreement achieved at the mediation on 25 August 
2004 and thus secure the reinstatement of the company's assets.

At the commencement of the litigation, the company had been divested of its 
assets. At the conclusion of the Mediation the company will achieve the return 
of its assets and have sufficient resources to seek and obtain new investments. 
The settlement agreed was in the company's best interests. The inherent risk of 
litigation and extensive legal costs incurred in respect of the same have been 
averted by achieving the settlement agreed at the Mediation.
