AGM STATEMENT
At the Huveaux PLC AGM today, the Chairman, Kevin Hand, will make the following
statement:
"The first 5 months of the year have seen the sale of our Education Division to
Harper Collins for GBP10m and the UK General Election which has resulted in the
new Coalition Government.
The sale of the Education Division has left the Group focused on its Political
Division and with the comfort of a healthy balance sheet with positive cash
balances. Following the sale, we announced our intention to return to the
payment of a dividend and the necessary Capital Reduction exercise will be
processed following the passing of a resolution at today's AGM.
The UK General Election has resulted in increased interest in the UK Parliament,
with a new focus on transparency. We are seeing strong demand for information on
the new Parliament with interest in all 3 major political parties creating
increased demand for events.
The announcement of cuts within the public sector has resulted in some reduction
in demand for some of our training events and some uncertainty for potential
sponsors of events aimed at this market. This is being mitigated by creating
additional conferences and events around the new coalition government.
The Group's trading remains significantly weighted to the second half of the
year - which has been exacerbated by the Election which has pushed additional
events into the second half. The Board is cautious regarding how deeply the
cuts will affect the second half of the year, but remains confident that any
such reduction will be offset by increased demand across the remainder of the
portfolio and thus remains confident regarding the full year's results."
