A fool and his money is easily parted.
For immediate release: 11 October 2005
Envesta Telecom plc ('Envesta' or the 'Company')
Trading update
Further to the announcement made by the Company on 20 September 2005, the
process for evaluating the level of third party interest in the Company's sole
trading subsidiary, Seven Telecom ('Seven') is now complete. Several indications
of interest for Seven have been received and there is a real prospect that the
funds received from the disposal of Seven will not be sufficient to remove the
guarantee from Envesta on the secured bank borrowings of Seven currently capped
at 1.1 million, and in this event, the Company will need the continued support
of its bank. Envesta has historical capital losses of 10.7 million.
The Directors' immediate priority is to secure the sale of Seven Telecom. An
announcement updating the market on future plans for the Company will be made
when current discussions have been concluded.
