Positive action taken over the last few years has finally started to show
through. The result for the year is a small pre-tax profit of 72,084 (2001:
loss 65,566).

UNDERWEAR BUSINESSES.

Germany

Despite continuing difficult trading conditions in Germany our Nissel subsidiary
managed a further year of improvement and once again made a positive
contribution to the Group's result.

United Kingdom

Underwear in the UK continues to be a highly competitive activity. We have
therefore taken the decision to focus totally on the importing side of our
business. Regrettably, this will lead to the closure of our manufacturing
activity in Bolton at the end of June 2003. Following the closure, we intend to
relocate to premises more appropriate to an importing, sales and distribution
business. There will be some small redundancy and relocation costs. The above
action will strengthen our business and enable us to give more competitive
prices to our customers.


NINACLIP

Parasols

The 2002 summer season turned out to be less buoyant than we had hoped. A wet
summer throughout Europe affected our sales. However, the Ninaclip parasols made
a positive contribution to Group profits.

Sun canopies

Since the successful showing of the NinaSun suncanopy at the SPOGA show in
Cologne, much time, effort and money has been spent on it's development.

We hope to commence commercial trials at the end of June 2003 and subject to
these being successful, delivery to customers will start November/December 2003.

REVIEW

2002 was a further year of improvement. Germany did well, especially against an
exceptionally poor economic background.

The underwear business in the UK was stable and Nina Parasols had a profitable,
if a somewhat disappointing year.

The NinaSun canopy project is progressing well but is taking longer than we had
hoped, postponing the time when we will reap the benefits of the time, effort
and money invested.

PROSPECTS

The traditional activities of the Group produced a small pre-tax profit in 2002,
and we hope to improve on this performance in the coming year.

The NinaSun canopy will not make any material contribution to Group profits in
2003, but we are hoping for a significant contribution in 2004.

With highly competent executives, motivated employees, excellent products,
quality customer base and strong balance sheet, we look forward to 2003 with
quiet confidence.

GENERAL

2002 was the fourth year of continued progress. I would like to thank my
colleagues and all Caldwell employees, without whom these achievements would not
have been possible.

I think thats called putting your money where your mouth is.

cheers GF.

can see this getting above 30p in next 6 months needs to get some new momentum somehow clearly got directors buying and in profit but needs volume and more exposure to get it to where it should be ?? mkt cap of 3M with forward profits could be 0.5M p/e of six ideal for tippers shares mag are you listening ??

Im listening Gordon, Im listening. Your spot on, a growth company which is very cheap.

cheers gf.

I can't understand why it is a growth stock. the fundamentals look good as you have indicated and a patented product. why is it winner, I don't think everyone wants a canopy. plz enlighten me further if you can.

cheers
