Argonaut Games PLC
24 January 2005


Immediate Release 24 January 2005


Argonaut Games plc


('Argonaut' or the 'Company')


In Argonaut's statement of 18 November 2004 it was stated that the Board was
awaiting a more accurate indication of any dividend receivable by Argonaut from
Argonaut Software Ltd (in administration) and that once this had been received
the board would be in a position to further assess the financial position of the
Company.


The administrators have now confirmed that, after settlement of preferential
claims and the costs of the administration, any dividend is likely to be nominal
and is unlikely to be paid for several months.


In the light of this information the Board has been advised that the Company
cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue and it should therefore be
wound-up voluntarily. The Company will be writing to its shareholders in the
near future to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting for the purposes of
considering, and if thought fit, passing a resolution to this effect.

Harry, this is a thread for the AGSAG, what's this about RII, does it have any relevance to the subject?

[wbjunior] 24/1/2005 11:08

Are our shares worth anything or not harry ?

[harry punter] 24/1/2005 07:55

When this comes out of suspension, probably this wednesday -- I think you will find the business being reversed into RII will be a drugs company that came out of Glaxo at the time of the merger with SmithKline.This company has migraine,and schizophrenia drugs, both with enormous potential.The new company will almost certainly be valued at 100 million plus,given that RII was capitalised at 5 million you don't need me to tell you how exciting this could be.

RNS Number:4469H
RII PLC
17 January 2005

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 17 January 2005

RII PLC

("RII" or the "Company")

The Board of RII has noted both today's movement in the Company's share price and the press speculation that the Company is shortly to announce a transaction which, under the AIM Rules, would amount to a "reverse takeover".

RII announces that it is currently in the process of completing such a transaction, and so, in the interests of an orderly market, has requested the London Stock Exchange to suspend the trading in the Company's shares with immediate effect.

The Company will make a further announcement shortly.

Exactly, gives a different perspective on the collapse of AGT. If the team at Edgeware really thought that it was SCi's fault they were loosing their jobs, as suggested by Jez, then it would seem unlikely for them to prefer to set up on their own with support from SCi, rather than go with Jez.

Seems to me to be a very good deal for SCi.

[verulamium] 17/1/2005 08:10

Thought you'd be pleased that SCi and a couple of Jez's old managers have pulled a quick one on Jez - nice work by them, and good news for the 20 remaining staff - no wonder Jez was shooting his mouth off in the press about SCi...

SCI Entertainment Group PLC
17 January 2005


SCi Entertainment Group Plc

Strategic investment in Rocksteady Studios

SCi Entertainment Group Plc ('SCi' or 'the Company'), one of Europe's leading
publishers of computer and video games, today announces a strategic investment
in newly formed computer games developer, Rocksteady Studios Ltd ('Rocksteady').

Under the agreement announced today, SCi has acquired 25.1% of the shares of
Rocksteady for a nominal consideration and has made a loan to Rocksteady of
£0.25 million to fund the start-up costs of the new company. In return, SCi will
have representation on the Rocksteady board and will also have first rights over
all future products from Rocksteady. SCi will work with Rocksteady on the same
basis as it does with all other developers. Rocksteady will be paid a
development advance based on the successful delivery of regular milestones and
will receive further royalties dependent on the eventual success of its
products.

Rocksteady is currently developing a new product, Roll Call, for SCi, scheduled
for release in 2006. SCi originally agreed a contract with Argonaut Games PLC in
August 2004 to develop Roll Call. However, in October 2004, the trading
subsidiaries of Argonaut Games PLC were placed in administration. Subsequently
Rocksteady was formed by Jamie Walker (former Creative Director of Argonaut
Edgware) and Sefton Hill (former Head of Production at Argonaut Edgware). It has
employed many other former Argonaut employees. SCi transferred development of
Roll Call to Rocksteady to allow completion of the product.

As Rocksteady is a start up company it has not yet issued audited accounts. It
currently employs approximately 20 people and is based in North London.

Jane Cavanagh, Chief Executive of SCi said:

'We are very pleased that we have secured the development of Roll Call which is
an exciting product and strengthens our pipeline. The additional strategic
investment in Rocksteady is great news for SCi as it allows us to develop what
we anticipate will be a long and successful partnership with a very talented
development team.'
