payment in lieu of notice as a one time charge to the 2004 Profit and Loss
Account.
Peter Wakeham, Chief Executive Officer, commented "Nigel has made a major
contribution to the development of WILink's earnings performance, structure and
strategy and has also been influential in developing and maintaining a strong
culture of corporate governance. We are sorry to see him leave and wish him
well in his return to the energy sector. Equally, I am pleased to welcome
Philip Cole to the Board. He is a well qualified accountant and Finance
Director with solid and relevant experience from WILink and previous companies
he has worked for.
As a brief update for shareholders I am pleased to report that the integration
of the recent acquisition, Communicast Inc., is progressing as expected and the
overall trading performance for the Group remains satisfactory despite the
continuing weakness of the dollar."
