PERSONAL SCREENING PLC (the "Company")
Interim Results for the six month period to 30 June 2008
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The Company's sales of �20,582 for the six months to 30 June 2008 were lower than sales of �35,875 for the comparable period in 2007,
but as a result of tight control over operating and administrative costs the trading loss, before exceptional costs of �76,296 relating to a
writedown of goodwill for Personal Screening International Limited and the Intellectual Property in Mermaid Diagnostics Limited, of �165,246
for the first half of 2008 was significantly less than the trading loss of �188,747 for the first six months of 2007. The loss per share was
0.08p compared with a loss per share of 0.11p for the same period in 2007.
The Directors are hopeful that the Company's self-test kit operations will see somewhat higher sales in the second half of 2008 and that
recent acquisitions, like the Over 50s website, will make a positive contribution to Company's revenue.
Whilst the Directors continue to have every confidence in the long term prospects for the existing businesses of Personal Screening, the
operations have not performed as originally anticipated and, as stated on several previous occasions, the Directors have been seeking other
ways to improve shareholder value, in particular by means of a suitable acquisition.
On 1 September 2008, the Company announced that it was in discussions with a potential replacement Nominated Adviser in respect of a
possible transaction. We continue to work with the Nominated Adviser but no guarantee can be given that the talks will succeed. As it has
not been possible to conclude them by the end of September, trading in the Company's shares will be suspended as of 1 October 2008, when the
Company's current nominated adviser, Nabarro Wells & Co. Limited resigns. The Company expects to make a further announcement in due course
