CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1999

The Group recorded a profit attributable to Group Shareholders of IR#227,000
(EUR289,000) in 1999. This compares to a profit of IR#415,000 (EUR527,000) in
1998.

Turnover increased by 15% from IR#2,867k (EUR3,640k) in 1998 to IR#3,303k
(EUR4,194k) in 1999, largely arising from the positive impact of sterling
strengthening against the Irish pound and euro.

The consolidated balance sheet of the Group shows Shareholders' funds of
IR#2,163,000 (EUR2,746,000). The fixed assets held by the Group are mainly the
rental asset portfolios of current computer products. It is Group policy to
fully write off these assets over a 3 year period and, at the end of the
product's useful rental life, to sell the products on to unrelated third
parties. 

The cash situation of the Group has improved - increasing from IR#428,000
(EUR543,000) in 1998 to IR#642,000 (EUR815,000) in 1999.

The Board will continue to focus its attention on the rental business in the
UK. From the beginning of this year the Group operates its rental business in
one entity, First Rental Limited, which we expect will bring an improved
profit performance.

The Group will continue to pursue opportunities to enhance its growth by
looking at investments in the information technology field which have the
potential to add value for our shareholders.

In conclusion I would like to thank the executives and staff of the Group for
their efforts and commitment during the year.
