Free Cloud Wi-Fi has been rolled out across the shopping centres; the Mall smart phone app has been launched and we are reconfiguring space to support the multi-channel strategies of our retailers. Dividend The dividend policy continues to link future payments to the Group’s cash generating ability. Following the renegotiation of the Group’s banking arrangements, the restrictions limiting the payments to 50% of operating cash flow less interest and tax have been removed. Following further de-gearing, the Mall is likely to be in a position to recommence distributions in the second half of the year. Distributions from The Mall should enable the Group to resume the payment of a dividend, to be covered by cash earnings, at the end of 2013. Until this happens the John Clare Chairman Board is not recommending the payment of a dividend meaning that no dividend will be payable for the full year 2012.

    Companies Registration Office Report 2005 CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2. MISSION STATEMENT 2 3. INPUT 2 4. OUTPUT 9 5. QUALITY 13 APPENDIX 1: DETAILED STATISTICS 16 APPENDIX 2: FINANCE 66 APPENDIX 3: REGISTRAR OF COMPANIES 67 AND OTHER AUTHORISED PERSONS APPENDIX 4: CROLINK MEMBERSHIP 68 3 1. INTRODUCTION In the sections below we set out the commitment we made in the business plan for 2005 and the extent to which that commitment was met. Major Projects The Integrated Enforcement Environment continued to have a major impact particularly through the strike off process. While plans were implemented to step up actions regarding presenters and directors the major effect will be felt during 2006. The backlog clearance project continued to bring substantial benefits in document checking and registration but the levels of throughput necessary to clear the backlog of unregistered annual returns is not yet in place. Renewed effort on a number of fronts will be necessary in 2006. Considerable work was done on the rules database and it too will bring benefits. Extensive work was done to support the statutory Electronic Filing Agent, and to develop the pre-filled annual return. The implementation of the Companies On-line Registration Environment went very smoothly and can now be extended to a much wider user base. CROLink CROLink is the Users Council of the CRO. It is a forum which allows management and users of the CRO to share ideas to improve the services provided by the CRO. CROLink met three times during 2005. At the CROLink meetings, representatives of CRO users get a chance to raise questions and air views about CRO services.
