Mission Capital plc
INTERIM RESULTS
For the six months to 31 March 2009
Mission Capital plc ("Mission Capital" or the "Company") announces its unaudited interim results for the six months to 31 March 2009.
Chairman's Statement
The consolidated interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries for the six months ended 31 March 2009 show turnover of £1.9 million (2008: £1.7 million). What would have been an operating profit before taxation of £66,000 (2008: loss of £0.6 million) has been transformed into a loss on ordinary activities before taxation of £0.69 million as a result of writing down the goodwill attaching to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Karspace Management Limited, by £0.73 million in the light of its anticipated basic disposal price of £1,290,000 as separately announced today and to be set out in the related Circular to shareholders expected to be despatched later today. This represents a basic and diluted loss per share of 0.641p (2008: 0.572p). As at 31 March 2009, the Company had consolidated net assets of £2.7 million (2008: £4.0 million). The Company will not be paying an interim dividend.
I deal in that Circular with the general position of the Company.
Philip Goldenberg
Chairman
