Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report a return to profitability and strong cash generation.

Trading results

The results for the year ended 31 March 2006 show turnover of #18.2 million
(2005: #18.8 million) and an operating profit, before exceptional items and
amortisation, of #1.6 million (2005: loss #0.5 million). The profit before
taxation was #1.3 million (2005: loss #3.1 million). As I mention below we have
changed our accounting policy on work in progress. Had we continued with the
same policy we would have had an increased charge through the profit and loss
account of some #1.0 million.

I indicated in my brief statement last year and reiterated in my interim
statement that it would be a year of challenges. It has been so.

Our internet division delivered a solid performance with marginally higher
revenues of #6.1 million (2005 #5.9 million). We will seek to improve our
competitive position by investing in content for our websites.

The inexorable transition to electronic sources and delivery for information
continues to materially impact our print division. Revenues declined to #5.9
million (2005: #7.9 million). Print remains an important contributor and we
continue to carefully manage costs consistent with revenue expectations.

Our events division performed very well with 29% revenue growth to #6.2 million
(2005: #4.8 million). We will continue to focus on expanding successful events.

Change of auditors

As part of the process of reviewing the provision of professional services to
the Group the Board decided to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Group's
auditors. As Deloitte & Touche LLP resigned, PricewaterhouseCoopers were
appointed to fill the vacancy and complete the audit for the year ended 31 March
2006. They will stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting.

Change in calculation of work in progress

In accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 18 the Board regularly review
the group's accounting policies to ensure that they remain the most appropriate.

During the year the Board have decided to change the accounting policy in
respect of work in progress. Under the new accounting policy only directly
attributable expenditure to a publication, website or event is included as work
in progress. Under the previous accounting policy, certain overheads and sales
force costs were also included. In the view of the Board, the new accounting
policy is more appropriate and will provide a better platform for the Group's
transition to International Financial Reporting Standards in 2008.

This change in accounting policy has been reflected as a prior year adjustment.
This results in an additional charge of #0.1 million to the profit and loss
account for the year ended 31 March 2005 and a reduction in net assets of #4.4
million as at 31 March 2005.

Had the previous accounting policy been maintained during the year ended 31
March 2006, profit before tax would have been #1.0 million lower.

The impact on the profit and loss account of the change in accounting policy is
greater in the year to March 2006 than in 2005. This is a consequence of a
reduction in the cost base and thus a lower level of costs to be carried forward
at March 2006, and, the incidence and timing of publications and events.

Customers & Employees

I would like to express my thanks to the sponsors, delegates and advertisers who
have supported us this year. Further, the unstinting efforts of many hard
working employees has made a difference; thank you. Finally, my thanks to Board
colleagues for their considerable support.

Outlook

Revenue in the first quarter is at similar levels to last year with comparable
outlook. Faced with increasing cost pressures we will have to continue to apply
tight cost controls. Rescheduling of certain publications and events will result
in a greater percentage of revenue in the second half of this year.

Chief Executive's Operational Review

Results in Summary:

Revenues were marginally down at #18.2 million (2005: #18.8 million) with the
group returning operating profits of #1.5 million (2005 loss #3.4 million),
generating #2.2 million of operating cash flows (2005 #0.7 million), through
improving productivity and reducing the operational expenditure of the business.

The group changed its accounting policy in respect of work in progress resulting
in an additional charge of #0.1 million to the P&L year ended 31 March 2005 and
a reduction in net assets of #4.4 million as at 31 March 2005.

Business Strategy:

In 2004 we started the process of moving the business from its origins as a
controlled circulation publisher into a media company with integrated products
and services.

We set about reducing the cost base, aligning the products to specific business
markets and integrating the operations of the group.  I am delighted to confirm
we are making positive progress.

Our strategy is to deliver integrated media services, via the Internet and
publications, conferences and executive summit events, to approximately 500,000
global business executives, in a style and format that provokes opinion,
influences decisions and delivers commercial value to our many advertisers,
sponsors and business partners.

I am delighted to confirm we are making positive progress.

The UK operations are based in central London with expansion planned through our
offices in Nottingham. The UK employs approximately 225 people, focusing on 9
global B2B markets, delivering nearly 100 different products.

The Indian business is based in Hyderabad focusing on developing a national
presence with the broader objective of building our position in the key Asian
markets.  We currently employ c120 people, in India, with a strategy to develop
the operational and marketing skills to launch integrated media services
relevant to the Asian and Indian markets.

2006 will be a year of investment as we continue the process of strengthening
our overall international editorial capability, building strong industry
relationships and launching new products and services in line with our strategic
ambitions.

Market Overview:

We live and work in a fast changing world where our individual preferences,
values and beliefs are increasingly shaped by technology, most notably the
Internet.

Access to a global information source is changing how we work, how we live and
how we communicate - all have a direct and lasting impact on how an
international media business should operate to provide value and customer
satisfaction

At the heart of our strategy is a deep understanding that we must respond to
these changes, recognise the changing requirements of our customers and above
all we must strive to provide valuable services in a relevant and timely manner.

We believe SPG is well placed to respond to these changing dynamics.


Business Operations:

The business has three operating divisions:

Performance:

-                    6% increase in order intake
-                    30% increase in customer repeat rates

The Internet business provides our customers with a rich source of reference
materials on technical projects segmented across a variety of different
international business markets.

The strategy in 2005 was to improve the quality of the web sites, introduce a
new sales structure designed to improve customer service and retention, invest
in the development of our young and talented management team, in addition to,
the development of new products and web based services to provide a platform for
future growth and development.

We successfully implemented the new sales structure delivering a significant
improvement in our customer repeat rates, created a vibrant and enthusiastic
business environment and invested in product development.

We successfully launched new services across our web sites, introduced 6 new
websites, complimentary to our publishing business, in addition to launching our
first portal, for the packaging industry, using Qmina, a search based industry
directory service.

Over the past four months we have seen the number of unique user sessions grow
by 67% and the number of page views increase from approximately 5.5 million to
8.5 million per month.

In 2006 we will continue to invest in the development of our core products and
services, we will strengthen our international editorial competencies, expand
our information services, launch two new portals and continue to build our
Indian web based activities.

The joint venture with EIL to launch response based electronic newsletters was
terminated, these types of service will be integrated into our core products.

Performance:

-                    29% growth in revenues
-                    Doubled customer repeat rates
-                    Successfully launched new events in core markets


In 2005 we successfully integrated the traditional conferences business,
acquired in 2003, with the organically developed and highly successful executive
summits business, which we re-launched in 2004.

The business is now fully integrated and sector based delivering content rich
programs, via our conferences and summits, in addition to bringing global
audiences of senior buyers and sellers together to network and build
international trading relationships.

We believe that the key to developing this business will be a continual cycle of
product and service innovation based on the outstanding execution of each event.

We successfully launched a number of new events during 2005, most notably PACE,
a summit event for the packaging industry and SAOF, an International outsourcing
summit event on behalf of the South African Government.

In addition to the developments in the core events business we also launched SPG
Customise, an embryonic business focused on delivering turnkey media solutions
to blue chip clients.

This is a fast growing business building outstanding brands and deep industry
relationships.

This is a business in transition with an experienced management team carefully
managing the widely accepted and general trend of advertisers moving towards
digital media.

In recognition of these changes we have focused on only retaining publications
in our core markets and where we feel our readership would benefit from
complimentary web services and events, as a consequence the number of
publications we will run in 2006 will be reduced.

All publications are bi-annual, with the exception of one quarterly magazine,
with a controlled circulation readership broadly targeted at the top executives
in specific international markets.

New product launches are planned, predominantly in Asia, where we intend to
launch Asian editions of UK published magazines, plus a small number of new
publications targeted at the Indian and Asian markets.

We are actively aligning our publishing business to our events and Internet
business with the objective of building integrated media propositions, which we
believe has a stronger appeal to our customer base.

India:

The 2005 strategy was to build the core competencies and management team, to
launch Asian publications, to build on our expertise operating executive summit
events and to create a group data centre to support the collection and
management of the group's customer data.

We recruited a strong management team, with relevant industry experience,
successfully launched our first publications, Pharma Asia and Asian Hospitals,
ran two International Outsourcing Summit events, in Dubai and Holland, enhanced
our web based services and successfully developed the related sales operations
out of the Indian office.

Turnover increased from #0.2 million to #0.9 million.

The development of a group data centre did not materialise as fast as we planned
and as an interim step to building the group competence we have focused the
operations on building and managing the Indian data as the precursor to pursuing
the group's interests.

In 2006 we will expand the number of publications operated out of India,
transfer the sales and management of the Broadcasting products from the UK and
open a small sales office in Mumbai to support the process of selling more
economically.

In 2005 the property provision was a charge in respect of the non-operational
properties of the Group. During the current year certain of the empty properties
have been let which has meant a release of the provision made in previous
periods.

Leasehold improvements were undertaken to improve the potential letting ability
of the non-operational properties and accordingly the ascertained costs have
therefore been written off.

The Board decided to discontinue its joint venture with its partner and closed
this business down. A one-off charge has been made in the year of outstanding
loans made to the joint venture company. #57,000 has been written off.

The deferred consideration relates to the Debrett's disposal in the prior year
has been adjusted to reflect the actual amount receivable, resulting in a
#51,000 credit to the profit and loss account.

During the year the Board have decided to change the accounting policy in
respect of work in progress. Under the new accounting policy only directly
attributable expenditure to a publication, website or event is included as work
in progress. Under the previous accounting policy, certain overheads and sales
force costs were also included. In the view of the Board, the new accounting
policy is more appropriate and will provide a better platform for the Group's
transition to International Financial Reporting Standards in 2008.

This change in accounting policy has been reflected as a prior year adjustment.
This results in an additional charge of #0.1 million to the profit and loss
account for the year ended 31 March 2005 and a reduction in net assets of #4.4
as at 31 March 2005.

Had the previous accounting policy been maintained during the year ended 31
March 2006, profit before tax would have been #1.0 million lower.
