UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 APRIL 2003
SHAREHOLDER UPDATE
OVERVIEW
There have been a number of developments in your Company since the release of
the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2002. The
combination of these developments has your Company well placed for expansion and
profitability.
SUMMARY OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 APRIL
2003
The Company's gross profit for the period ended 30 April 2003 increased
threefold compared with the same period in 2002. However, due mainly to high
staff and web development costs, there was a net loss of #494,015 (2002
#182,784).
Looking forward, increased sales and reduced overheads have now positioned the
Company to benefit from expected continued growth and profitability.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT
Richard Fossett has joined the Board of Directors of the Company as Chief
Operating Officer. Richard brings a wealth of experience in organisation and
administration as we move into a new phase of expansion.
Eren Nil, based in Istanbul, who is the Company's principal shareholder, has
assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer.
Ken Mackay stepped down as Managing Director of the Company at the end of June
2003 to continue running the New York based wholly owned subsidiary, EmdexTrade
Delaware LLC, and focus on the launch of two Emerging Market Trade Funds in the
U.S. market.
REVIEW OF BUSINESS
EmdexTrade is an international operation with offices and representation in
London, New York, Bahrain, and Istanbul.
Richard Fossett, the Head of Operations, is based in Bahrain and will run the
Company from there.
The increase in revenues during the period and subsequently, has been due not
only to an average of between 1-2 spot trades per month, but also, in July 2003,
to the broking of a substantial five year trade finance transaction which should
continue to yield an attractive return in each of the next five years. This
also forms part of a potentially larger series of transactions in the future,
demonstrating your management's commitment to sustaining and building quality
revenues.
FINANCING AND LOAN ARRANGEMENTS
Pursuant to an agreement between CCH Europe GmbH ("CCH"), a company controlled
by Eren Nil, the outstanding loan of #300,000 from CCH will shortly be satisfied
by the issue of 4,444,444 ordinary shares to CCH. By virtue of this transaction
the Company will become debt free with cash reserves of #38,569 as at 30 April
2003. Eren Nil will consequently increase his shareholding from 82.4% currently
to 84% of the issued share capital as enlarged by this transaction.
