Thanks for that Joe.

Great summary Joe! Wish some journalists could be as efficient as that ;)

Interesting to note that we'll make a loss this year when only a few months ago we were 'looking at a $500,000 profit' :(

Did he mention how sharp the drop was in terms of income? Any reasons as to why corporate support was down?

At the end of the year (i think) the Vodafone contract will be reviewed .... and there is a lot riding on it!
