MERIDEN GROUP PLC
INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2008
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I am pleased to present my Chairman's report for Meriden Group plc for the six months ended 30 June 2008.
Results
During the period the Company made pre-tax losses of �18,857 (2007 - loss of �54,673).
Events during the year
On 9 June 2008 the Company announced that it was in detailed negotiations regarding an acquisition which, if consummated, would
constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules. The acquisition would be subject to the approval of shareholders and the granting by the
Takeover Panel of a waiver of the obligation on the Company to make a general offer under Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
Since the Company had been unable to complete a reverse takeover prior to 9 June 2008, being 12 months after the Company became an
investing company pursuant to the AIM Rules, trading in the Company's shares on AIM was suspended on that date.
I am please to be able to advise shareholders that negotiations with the target company are continuing. Restoration of trading will
occur upon publication of the Company's circular and AIM admission document relating to the acquisition.
