January 2007 issue

Speculation mounted over whether the magazine was still in publication with reports of cleared offices and disconnected telephones^[1]. At one point, it was reported that attitude had closed owing to financing problems and that they may be put up for sale^[2]. However, the February 2007 edition came on sale as planned. In his monthly letter, the editor explained the problems had been due to a change of publisher. It has since been confirmed that the magazine has been sold to Giant Clipper Ltd ^[3].
