John O'Shea, CEO of zamano, said:  'While the current economic conditions and Sterling weakness have created a challenging trading environment, the steps the Board has taken, as highlighted in the interim results, continue to effectively position the business to meet the challenges.  The Board remains confident in its strategy and its ability to execute successfully on opportunities, as proven by the profitable growth in the US.'


The Board will provide an update on 2009 trading when it releases final results for 2008 in late March 2009.
