Interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2004
Chairman's Statement
Following upon the announcement on 22nd February 2005 of a #75,000 loan to the
Company by Milebeach Limited ("Milebeach") and proposed share subscription, I
have recently taken over the Chairmanship from Barclay Douglas and would like to
thank him for all he has done to date. Milebeach is a Company controlled by
myself and John Shaw.
The first half of our financial year, being the six months ended 31 December
2004, has been a period during which your Board has continued to assess various
appropriate opportunities to reverse a new business into the Company.
Results
Revenues for the six months ended 31 December 2004 were #nil.
Losses after taxation for the six month period were #26,447 compared with a
#50,655 loss for the prior year comparable period. Running costs have now been
reduced to a minimum and there are no full time employees in the Company.
Ongoing operating costs relate principally to maintaining the Company's trading
facility on AIM.
The cash balances at the end of the period were #57,692 of which #48,292 was
held by the Company in the UK. By 28 February 2005, these had increased to
#121,473 and #112,073 respectively, primarily as a result of the #75,000 loan
received from Milebeach Limited in February 2005.
Prospects
We have sent a circular to shareholders containing details of the proposed
increase in Share Capital and the conversion by Milebeach Limited of their
#75,000 loan into Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each, as a result of which I became
Chairman and John Shaw was appointed a Director. Graham Leask has resigned from
the Board, but remains as Company Secretary. We would like to thank him for his
contribution to AVC. Consequently the Board consists of myself, Barclay Douglas,
Massoud Amiri and John Shaw, all non-executive directors.
We are considering proposals which we have received and anticipate that we will
be able to identify and negotiate a suitable acquisition within the next six
months and will report to you accordingly at that time.
Sincerely,
Stephen Barclay
Chairman of the Board

Notes on the Interim Results
1. The results for the six months ended 31 December, 2004, which are
neither audited nor reviewed by the auditors have been prepared on the basis of
the accounting policies adopted for the year ended 30 June 2004 as set out in
the Company's annual report and accounts after taking into account any
accounting standards issued since that date, none of which have resulted in any
changes to the accounting policies of the Company.
2 The results for the year ended 30 June 2004 are an abridged
version of the Group's full accounts for that period, which carry unqualified
auditors' reports and do not contain any statements under S237 (2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 1985. The full accounts for the year ended 30 June 2004 have been
filed with the Registrar of Companies.
3. The calculation of earnings per share is based on the loss
attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue of 161,575,486 (2003: 161,575,486). The calculation of earnings per
share on a diluted basis takes account of the dilutive effect of outstanding
share options giving a weighted average number of ordinary shares of 161,575,486
(2003: 161,575,486).
