                          Pinnacle Staffing Group plc 
                          ("Pinnacle" or "the Company") 
 
             Half year results for the six months ended 4 July 2010 
 
Pinnacle Staffing Group plc, (AIM: PCL) the healthcare recruitment group 
announces its half year results for the period ending 4 July 2010. 
 
 
Key Points 
Turnover from continuing operations was GBP4million (2009: GBP1.7million) 
Loss from continuing operations of GBP808,000 (2009: GBP929,000) 
Pre-tax loss of GBP5,688,000 (2009: GBP137,000) 
Agency Nursing and Medical Services Businesses were sold after the period end 
and are treated as discontinued operations 
Focus on growing the Doctors recruitment businesses 
Company now cash positive with no bank borrowings 
Chairman's Statement 
 
The first half of the year has been devoted to searching for a buyer for the 
Company at a time of deteriorating financial performance. In the time available, 
no offer for the Company which could be put to shareholders was forthcoming. 
Subsequently the Board decided to sell the Agency Nursing and Medical Services 
businesses to Arabella Health Staffing Limited for GBP2.75 million. The disposal 
was completed on 6th September 2010 and the sale proceeds were used towards 
repaying the invoice discounting facility and reducing the outstanding current 
liabilities.  The Company still owns the sales ledger relating to work done by 
the sold businesses up to the date of completion and good progress is being made 
in collecting the amounts outstanding. As of 17th September 2010 the Company 
held net cash of approximately GBP500k. 
The Agency Nursing and Medical Services Businesses are being treated in these 
accounts as discontinued businesses. Generally their performance was 
unsatisfactory in the period although several of the British Nursing Association 
("BNA") branches did report significant improvements in the commission they 
generated. Since the beginning of April 2010, corresponding to the start of the 
new financial year for NHS organisations, the market background has become more 
difficult with shifts being booked with substantially reduced advance notice. 
This impacted on BNA's ability to fill the shifts being offered with its 
available workers. Regional NHS budget restrictions resulted in poor 
performances by the Company's specialist nursing brands, Mayfair and Grosvenor 
and also by the Medic International allied health professionals business . 
The discontinued businesses made a loss of GBP0.2million before an impairment 
charge relating to goodwill of GBP3.2million and a provision for onerous 
contracts of GBP1.5million. 
In the continuing businesses, Doctors recruitment which trades as Medic 
International and Holt Doctors saw a 14% rise in turnover from the six month 
period ended 3 January 2010 and this business continues to grow steadily. 
International Nursing Permanent Placements made a small positive contribution. 
 
 
Outlook 
 
The doctors businesses are maintaining a steady growth rate and are currently 
planning the next stage of their expansion. We will look for suitable bolt-on 
opportunities for both the doctors businesses and our compliance monitoring 
activities. 
There remains much to be done to minimise the ongoing commitments and 
obligations relating to the discontinued businesses however this will be a key 
focus over the next few months as we seek to maintain the value within the 
Company.

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| The preparation of accounts in accordance with IFRS requires management   | 
| to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of     | 
| assets and liabilities at the date of the accounts and the reported       | 
| amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These        | 
| estimates are based on historical experience and various other            | 
| assumptions that management and directors believe are reasonable under    | 
| the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making         | 
| judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are    | 
| not readily apparent from other sources.                                  |

| Areas comprising critical judgements that may significantly affect the    | 
| Group's earnings and financial position are revenue collection, valuation |

| payments, all of which are discussed in the respective notes.             |
