Retec Digital used to be known as Elite Strategies (ETS).

I've been in this since just before the recent placing and reverse takeover because I like the fact that the company has been busy winning numerous contracts with leading retailers. RET's technology reportedly enables retailers greatly to increase turnover by means of providing information, advertising and ordering facilites direct to customers in stores.

Definitely still fairly speculative, but could be worth keeping an eye on. PDYOR.

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to be able to make my first report to you as Chairman of the
Company.

Introduction

Last year was a period of significant change for the business. Over the year,
the underlying business of Retec Interface Limited ('Retec Interface'), in
which Elite Strategies PLC held a strategic investment, grew substantially and
the Board decided to acquire the business by means of a takeover. I am
delighted to report that following the year-end, we completed the transaction,
and on 19 September 2006 have changed the name of the Company to Retec Digital
PLC, with the principal operating business called Retec Interface.

Along with these changes have come a number of changes in the composition of
the Board. Harvey Lipsith took over as Chairman at the start of 2006 to oversee
the proposed acquisition and Stuart Guyton became Finance Director. Now that we
have successfully acquired Retec Interface, Charles McKay has joined as Finance
Director, replacing Stuart Guyton, and I replaced Harvey Lipsith as Chairman
with effect from 19 October 2006.

On your behalf I would like to thank both Harvey and Stuart for their hard work
and dedication to this business during the acquisition.

Review of activities

Results for the year ended 30 June 2006

Turnover for the year ended 30 June 2006 from continuing operations amounted to
43,758 (2005: nil). Administrative costs amounted to 173,224 (2005:
148,410), the Company received interest of 56,837 (2005: 38,495). The loss on
ordinary activities before tax amounted to 72,829 (2005: 109,945), a loss of
0.15p per ordinary share (2005: loss 0.45p). As at 30 June 2006 shareholders
funds increased to 2,260,620 (2005: 1,602,203) and cash balances amounted to
104,558 (2005: 167,575). The Company had no debts as at 30 June 2006.

The Company is not in a position to pay dividends at this time although it
remains the aspiration of the Directors to make dividend payments in future
periods in the light of future results.

Post balance sheet events

On 14 September 2006, the enlarged issued share capital of the Company was
readmitted to trading on AIM following the acquisition of Retec Interface
Limited. As part of this transaction the Company raised 1,584,250 (before
expenses) through the issue of 42,246,666 new Ordinary shares, and has issued a
further 8,622,664 options over Ordinary shares at an exercise price of 3.75p
per share.

Following the issue of equity pursuant to the acquisition of Retec Interface
Limited and the Offer for Subscription, the enlarged share capital of the
Company is now 125,155,641 Ordinary shares of 0.5 p.

The money raised will provide the Company with additional working capital
resources principally to assist the further development of Retec Interface.

The Board would like to thank the Company's shareholders and its advisers for
their support and assistance in making this acquisition take place and raising
further funds for the Company.

Operational review

Retec Digital PLC has the long term objective of becoming a leading global
provider of digital communications solutions to the retail world. Retec
Interface Limited ('Retec Interface') already has a leading position within the
UK retail market and we intend to capitalise on this as appropriate
opportunities arise to enhance shareholder value.

Retec Interface provides retailers with an in-store digital marketing package
designed to increase core sales, provide additional revenue over and above
this, improve cost control and enhance the customer experience.

Retec Interface's solutions comprise three basic components: plasma screens for
general in-store advertising; shelf-edge interactive systems activated by touch
screen, keyboard or bar-code; and shelf-edge broadcast systems sited next to a
specific product range, carrying advertising and promotional content on these
products. When combined these components join together to create a
communication channel between the retailer and its customers.

Retec Interface has made some excellent progress in the last 12 months, and
especially following the year end, with significant contract wins from some of
the UK's leading retailers, including Sainsbury's, Tesco, Woolworths and Argos.
IBM continues to be an important business partner and Retec's affiliation with
IBM has been instrumental in winning contracts with Woolworths and Argos.

Retec Interface is providing its Entertainment Xtra product to both Sainsbury's
and Tesco. This is a solution deployed in the Home Entertainment departments of
these retailers, providing customers with the opportunity to preview music,
films and games material ahead of the purchase decision.

The business is contracted to deploy its Entertainment Xtra solution in a
minimum of 100 stores by the end of October 2006 and we are on track to
successfully complete this roll-out. The revenue stream from this contract is
dependent on advertising revenues from the large screens deployed in store.

Retec Interface's contract with Tesco is based on a service model whereby Tesco
pays for the product itself including its maintenance and upkeep, but any
advertising or additional trade marketing monies flow directly to the retailer.

Woolworths and Argos are more bespoke in nature and provide different
functionality to the end user. Woolworths is an extended range kiosk that
allows customers to perform a number of functions, including browsing the
product range, as well as ordering and paying for the goods at the kiosk. Argos
is similar in that it combines the browsing, ordering and payment function in
one kiosk, reducing the need to queue whilst in an Argos store. Nearly 400
units have already been ordered by these two customers which will be installed
by the start of December 2006, in time for the busy trading period.

In addition, we are constantly looking at ways to enhance our revenue stream
and are exploring a number of different business sectors where our products may
be utilised. The Company continues to work with other blue chip retail clients
and is engaged in a number of trials and pilots that we hope will lead to
roll-outs with new customers as well as extensions with those already working
with the Company.

Outlook

We enter 2006/07 with a very solid platform on which to build, both organically
and by selective acquisition. The reverse takeover of Retec Interface means we
have transformed the business and we believe our existing relationship with
IBM, as well as our unique digital communications solutions, can deliver
significant value for our shareholders as retailers discover the merits of our
products and services.

We look forward to reporting further progress in the development of the Company
during the current year and the Board remains confident of the future prospects
of the Company.

FWIW - this stock is still very speculative at present, so don't say you haven't been warned! However, if they can keep writing new business the way they have been, then things could start looking quite good.

IMO, PDYOR, etc.

Nice tick-up today on about 400,000 shares traded.

And up again: RET Bid: 3.25p Offer: 3.5p Change: 0.125


Okay, I know it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it.

More movement, on tiny volume, but furthering the nice rise seen since the beginning of the month.

RET Bid: 3.5p Offer: 4p Change: 0.125

Today's rise could be linked to financial reporting from customer Argos (GUS/Home Retail Group).

Also the 400 kiosk units should be installed at Woolworths and Argos by the end of the month; an RNS may be on the way to confirm this.

Retec Digital PLC

('Retec Digital' or the 'Company')

AGM Trading Statement


At the Annual General Meeting, held this morning, Sir Brian Ivory, Chairman,
made the following statement to Retec Digital's shareholders.


'The current financial year has got off to a promising start. The reverse
takeover of Retec Interface in September 2006 means that we have transformed the
business and we believe that our unique digital communications solutions can
deliver significant value to our customers and shareholders going forward.


We are continuing to see growing demand for our services across all areas of the
retail industry. The roll-out with Sainsbury's for Entertainment Xtra is
progressing well. Over 100 stores have been installed into the Sainsbury's
estate and media sales are accelerating as we approach the busy Christmas
trading period.


The opportunities of the retail sector and the steps we are taking to expand and
strengthen our business, both in the UK and overseas, gives the Board confidence
in the future progress of the Company. We enter the new financial year with a
very solid platform on which to build, both organically and by selective
acquisition.


We look forward to reporting further progress in the development of the Company
during the current year and the Board remains confident of the future progress
of the Company.'


All resolutions proposed at the meeting were duly passed.

Retec Digital PLC - Issue of Equity
RNS Number:5926M
Retec Digital PLC
23 November 2006



23 November 2006



Retec Digital PLC ('Retec' or 'the Company')

Issue of Equity



On 14 September 2006 it was announced that valid acceptances had been received
from shareholders of Retec Interface Ltd relating to 67,172 ordinary shares
under the Retec Offer, representing 93.3 per cent. of the issued share capital
of Retec Interface Ltd not already owned by the Company. As a result, the Retec
Offer was declared unconditional in all respects and the acquisition of Retec
Interface Ltd was completed.



The Company has now acquired the remaining balance of the Retec Interface Ltd
Ordinary shares for which acceptances were not received pursuant to the
statutory rights under section 429 of the Companies Act 1985. Accordingly the
Company has issued and allotted a further 553,500 Ordinary Shares



It is expected that Admission will take place and that dealings will commence on
Friday 24 November 2006. The New Ordinary Shares, are issued, and fully paid
and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.
Consequently the enlarged issue share capital of the Company is now 125,709,141
ordinary shares.

Seems the MM's have adjusted the price up on the basis of today's news, in spite of apparently no trades going through:

RET Bid: 3.75p Offer: 4.25p Change: 0.375

Still can't see any trades, but it's gone up again:

RET Bid: 4p Offer: 4.5p Change: 0.625

On the move again - 136k traded:

RET Bid: 4p Offer: 4.5p Change: 0.125

This RNS may explain the SP move - I missed it at the time of release.

Retec Digital PLC - Acquisition(s)
4 December 2006

Retec Digital acquires Media 4 UK Limited

Retec Digital PLC ('Retec' or 'the Group'), the in-store digital marketing
company, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the entire issued share
capital of Media 4 UK Limited ('Media 4'), a company that provides hardware
installation and maintenance services to Retec's clients, for a total
consideration of 192,500 in cash.

Media 4 was founded in January 2003 and is based in Bedford. It operates almost
exclusively for the Group providing hardware installation and maintenance
services to Retec's clients. Given the strong pipeline in Retec's business from
customers such as Sainsbury's and Tesco, the addition of this engineering
expertise to the Retec Group will enable the Group to offer its customers more
innovative and cost effective digital solutions as part of an end-to-end
solutions package. In particular, where multiple applications and devices are
provided to the same customer, it is anticipated that the economies of scale
will provide significant cost reductions whilst at the same time improving
margins for Retec. Media 4 will retain its name and will operate as a separate
subsidiary within the Retec Group.

Retec has paid 192,500 in cash for 100 per cent. of the issued share capital
of Media 4. In the year ended 31 December 2005, Media 4 had turnover of
273,409 and a profit before taxation of 25,236. At 31 December 2005, Media 4's
net assets were 18,740. The acquisition is expected to be earnings enhancing
within the first year of operation.

Commenting on the acquisition, John Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Retec,
said:

'We are delighted to have acquired Media 4, which adds a new portfolio of
services to our customers. Retec's expertise lies in in-store digital marketing
and Media 4's is focussed around the maintenance of the screen itself. By
bringing this business into the Group, we can offer our clients more value in
the solutions we provide to them. We look forward to working with Media 4.'

Good news: - they paid only around 8 times earnings and the acquisition is expected to be immediately earnings-enhancing. The assets weren't worth much,so clearly a lot of goodwill will be entered on the balance sheet, but given the potential for cost savings and growth of Media 4's revenues due to the strong pipeline for RET's products, the acqusition looks like a very good move.

According to a post over the road, on 04th Dec, "Charles Stanley has issued a Strong Buy note this morning."

I have no idea whether this is true, PDYOR.

Here are the details of the Charles Stanley forecast.

Hi ST

I've held ETS for a while, buying into them as a cash shell. I should know this, but due to a recent house move and baby, my eye has been taken off the ball somewhat! do you know what has happened to my ETS shares? do they still exist? or have they been converted into Retec shares and if so at what rate? I don't think i've received any correspondence from the Co but i may have done and lost it in all the mayhem. Any info you have would be greatly received. Thanks

Hi Paul,

ETS was reverse taken over by Retec Digital and changed its name to Retec Digital at the same time. There was no share split or consolidation, or any other exchange of shares, so your holding has remained the same.

Hope this helps. please let me know if you need any more info.

ST.

Thanks ST

That explains a lot

Paul

Good news in today's trading update:

Retec Digital PLC - Trading Statement
25 January 2006

RETEC DIGITAL PLC

('Retec' or 'the Group')

Trading Statement for the 6 months ended

31 December 2006

Retec Digital PLC ('Retec' or 'the Group'), the in-store digital marketing
company, is today pleased to issue the following trading update.

Retec is pleased to report that trading for the six months to 31 December 2006
was in line with management's expectations. The Group has enjoyed a busy
trading period since the acquisition of Retec Interface in September 2006 and
has won a number of contracts throughout the period with a number of large
retailers, either directly or through its business partner, IBM UK Limited.
Today, the Group's clients include national high street retailers such as
Sainsbury's, Tesco, Argos and Woolworths.

Retec has been pleased by the uptake of its Entertainment Xtra product,
particularly in relation to the Sainsbury's contract. The units have been
installed in more than 125 of Sainsbury's largest stores and these
installations have taken place ahead of schedule and within budget. This
roll-out is being extended and Retec will install units across a further 75
Sainsbury's stores, taking the total number of stores using Retec's
Entertainment Xtra product to over 200.

Over the course of the period, Retec has delivered 400 units to Woolworths and
Argos, and has successfully completed the roll out of its Entertainment Xtra
product to 32 Tesco stores.

In addition, the Group has witnessed strong demand for third party advertising
on its Entertainment Xtra units, particularly with the Sainsbury's contract.
This is a new and exciting offering which provides an additional revenue stream
to the Group and early indications are encouraging. Consequently, the Board
looks to the future with confidence.

The Group is today holding a City Day in Central London where it is showcasing
its best selling products. No new financial information will be provided at
this briefing.

Up 20%, and only 20k shares traded: RET Bid: 3.5p Offer: 4p Change: 0.625

The chart for the past few months looks a bit lumpy, I have to admit. Wonder where things will go from here?
