PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006
Highlights:
* 100 Xen-550 machines invoiced during the year ended 31 December 2006
(2005:41 machines)
* Forecast machine installations for 2007 of 200 machines (+100% on 2006)
* Successful completion of a fundraising of up to #1.49m to sustain ongoing
working capital
* Strongest level of interest in the Company's products since IPO
underpinning the board's belief that the revised sales and marketing strategy is
working and is creating a sustainable platform for future growth
* Strong performance so far in 2007
Martin Colenutt, Chairman of In Cup Plus PLC comments:
"2006 was another challenging year with machine sales weighted towards the
second half, which also affected ingredients sales. However, a large high
profile order was secured and installed before the year end and gave a strong
endorsement of the machines reliability and hygiene.
We have already installed a further 57 machines in January and February with a
good pipeline to support our current forecast of 200 machine sales in 2007. As
the base of installed machines grows, the ingredients income line is steadily
increasing and is now a core revenue line."

Chairman's Statement
The directors are pleased to present the report and accounts for the In Cup Plus
group (the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2006.
The year has seen significant progress in pursuing the Board's belief that the
Group can become a major player in the hot and cold drinks vending market. At
the half year, the Board reported that, while sales to 30 June 2006 were lower
than forecast at 37 units, interest in the Group's products was at its highest
since its IPO. By the year end, sales of the core machine, the In Cup Plus
Xen-550, totalled 100 for the year (2005: 41) resulting in a turnover of
#480,970 (2005: #171,835). Included within this revenue were 16 machines
installed in November resulting from a contract win with a leading global
pharmaceutical company. Additionally, 4 machines out of a total of 66 were
installed in December at a "Big 4" global professional services company in the
City of London. This contract was won through an extensive trial process
followed by a competitive tender. The remaining 62 machines have been installed
during the first quarter of 2007, giving the Group a strong start to the year
and confirming the directors' confidence that their forecast of 200 machine
sales during 2007 is both realistic and achievable.
The business model remains viable with an increasing platform of machines
(currently some 212 units) providing a predictable and sustainable ingredients
and consumables revenue stream. The machines continue to exceed customer
expectations and, with the recent contract wins, the Group is well placed to
drive forward towards monthly profitability within the next 18 months.
While shipments of machines by the year end were in line with expectations for
the year, the relative slow start has meant that there has been a time lag in
the associated ingredients revenues and profits. This delay resulted in the
Board seeking further financing during the year. As part of this process,
Pacific Continental Securities (UK) Limited "Pacific Continental" was appointed
as broker to the Group. The placing, being the first element of the fundraising
was completed in August and raised gross proceeds of #840,000. Additionally,
the Group entered into option agreements with Barry Marks and Pacific
Continental in respect of new ordinary shares for a total subscription price of
up to #650,000. These options are likely to be exercised during the forthcoming
12 months.
During the year both Jane Ker and Tony Carson stepped down from the Board. Jane
Ker had assisted the Group with its initial fund raising, AIM flotation and the
latest placing while Tony Carson has given more recent support on the marketing
side. More recently, Kevin Mills has tendered his resignation from the Board
for personal reasons. We are grateful to Kevin, Jane and Tony for their
contributions to the business and on behalf of all at In Cup Plus wish them well
in the future.
On 1 December, Chris Ford joined the Board as Finance Director. Chris is a
Chartered Accountant and joins the Group from Xn Checkout PLC where he was
instrumental in turning the business around before floating it on AIM.
The year ahead will see the Group pursue a sales and marketing strategy focusing
on the technological superiority of the In Cup Plus vending system. The high
customer satisfaction levels resulting from the consistency of performance have
confirmed the Board's confidence that a business case for customers can be built
around cost savings resulting from the lower maintenance required. When this is
coupled with the associated environmental advantages it presents a compelling
proposition to companies wanting to improve their "green footprint" while
maximising efficiency.
The ongoing support of investors, professional advisers and suppliers is
appreciated, and I would also like to thank the staff for their continued
dedication and commitment to the Group.

1. Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention
and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
2. Basis of the preparation of the financial statements
The directors have reviewed the working capital projections for the next year,
which include funds raised from the exercise of option agreements with both its
broker and largest shareholder.
The directors believe that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore it is appropriate
to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
3. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet include the financial
statements of the company and its subsidiary made up to the end of the financial
year.
The Company's only subsidiary, E Break Limited, has been accounted for as a
subsidiary undertaking from the effective date of acquisition (see note 8).
4. Business segment analysis
The turnover, loss on ordinary activities before taxation and net assets, all of
which occur in the United Kingdom, are attributable to one activity, that of the
design, manufacture and sale of the In Cup Plus System, an automatic hot and
cold drink vending machine and related ingredients.
5. Taxation
There is no tax payable due to losses available and no deferred tax asset has
been recognised in respect of tax losses available for carry forward against
future trading profits as the utilisation of these losses cannot be foreseen
with reasonable certainty.
6. Dividends to equity shareholders
As stated in the AIM admission document the Company is at an early stage of
development and has incurred losses in the years ended 31 December 2005 and 2006
and as a result no dividend is payable. The Directors believe that any free
cash flow should be reinvested in the Company and do not anticipate that the
Company will be paying a dividend in the near future. This policy will be
reviewed on a regular basis.
7. Share based payment and prior year adjustment
The Group is required to adopt FRS 20 "Share Based Payments" for the first time
for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2006. FRS 20 requires
the Group to recognise an expense in respect of the granting over shares to
employees and directors. This expense, which is calculated by reference to the
fair value of the options granted, is recognised on a straight line basis over
the vesting period based on the Group's estimate of options that will eventually
vest. The Directors have used the Black Scholes model to estimate the value of
options granted in the current and prior periods.
Comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2005 have been restated to
apply the provisions of FRS 20, increasing the administrative expenses and
increasing the operating loss for that year, as follows:
2005
#'000

Goodwill arose on the acquisition of 100% of the ordinary share capital of E
Break Limited in August 2004. It is being amortised over 20 years.
9. Loss per share
The loss per share calculation is based on the loss on ordinary activities after
taxation and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during
the year.

On 17 August 2006, 37,333,333 ordinary shares of 1p each in the company were
issued pursuant to a placing raising #840,000. Net proceeds after costs were
#680,929. These shares represent approximately 27.7 per cent. of the Company's
enlarged issued share capital and rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing ordinary shares.
The total number of shares in issue following completion of the Placing was
134,803,333.

In addition to the above options, the company has granted to its broker, Pacific
Continental Securities (UK) Limited ("Pacific Continental") three options over
its shares for a value of #400,000 in total. Each option agreement allows for
Pacific Continental to exercise its call option during the period shown below
but if it fails to exercise in that period, the company can exercise its put
option, within one month of the expiry of the call option, to compel Pacific
Continental to purchase the shares.
The subscription price for each option share under both the put and call options
is 70% of the average of the market bid price per share for the period from the
date of the notice of exercise to the trading day immediately before the payment
of the subscription price subject to a minimum price of 1p per share.

shareholder, Barry Marks to purchase 11,111,111 shares at an exercise price of
2.25p per share, giving a total subscription price of #250,000.
As stated in accounting policy 1.12, these options have been accounted for under

charge for the year of #93,000 and a prior year adjustment of #38,000.
