Highlights * 90 acre development at East Kilbride to open Spring 2009 * Heads of Terms agreed with tenants for the majority of commercial units * Negotiations continuing with a number of other local authorities for similar schemes * Proposed name change to PlaySport Holdings Plc to reflect core business as operator of public access multi-sports facilities Commenting on the results, Mike Mealey, Chairman said: "The Government has launched a number of financial initiatives to improve access to sports facilities for all. It is this renewed focus on sport for the community and the requirement of local authorities to provide sports facilities that will assist us in securing both the sites and the planning permission necessary to enable us to roll out our East Kilbride model across the United Kingdom."

Turnover for the year was £2,384,000 (2006: £2,939,000) and gross profits £1,378,000 (2006: £1,543,000). The loss for the year was £2,468,000 (2006: £2,127,000). Net assets per share declined from 18p per share to 9p per share. 2007 was a significant year in the evolution of the business. Since my appointment as Executive Chairman in May 2007 to date, as previously announced, the composition of the Board has totally changed to bring the experience and skills required to develop the Group into the primary developer and operator of public access sports facilities in the UK. David Piggins, Chief Executive since the flotation, has now transferred his full time attention to the development of PowerPlay Golf which is 25% owned by Playgolf. He remains on our Board and we thank him for his vision and contribution to the formation and development of the business to date. The Board has refined its strategy for the future development of the business which we believe will eliminate the recurring trading losses and focus upon new developments similar in size to our East Kilbride project. Kilmartin Property Group, as well as being our joint venture partner in the East Kilbride project, bought an additional 10,173,261 new Ordinary Shares of 0.2p each through a placing at 9.75 pence per share in December 2007 to take their shareholding to 20.17%. Throughout the year, considerable operational progress was made with our 3 existing sites to reduce operating losses: Northwick Park We have completed works to extend Northwick Park from a 6-hole course to a 9-hole course and have replaced the original tenants of the restaurant, gymnasium and retail unit. The loss-making joint venture we had for the restaurant was terminated and a new local tenant signed on a 15 year lease. They completed a wholesale refit of the premises and opened for business in May 2008. We are confident that the new operator will provide an improved offering to customers and provide a positive contribution to the Group. The retail unit has been re-let on a 15 year lease to American Golf from November 2007 and they are already trading at far higher levels than the previous tenant. The operator of the gymnasium exercised a break clause in their lease and we are currently running the gym although we are in negotiations with potential operators to take this over. These changes have improved the customer experience at Northwick Park which is resulting in increased turnover and profit for the business. Metro Driving Range The Board determined that this facility was not a core asset to the Group and consequently with effect from 1 January 2008 a 10 year lease was signed to hand over control of the site to the existing management team. Trafford Park, Manchester Following an upgrade to the facilities trading improved during the period under review. American Golf continued to improve trading and their increased turnover triggered an up-lift in their rent in accordance with the terms of their lease. Whilst Metro, Trafford Centre and Northwick Park all contribute operating profit they are not sufficiently large to generate meaningful revenues to the Group and the Board will look to dispose of these facilities in the short to medium term. Future Focus East Kilbride Our joint venture with Kilmartin Property Group to develop the East Kilbride site commenced in July 2007 with a budget of £20 million. This 90 acre site will comprise 220,000 sq. ft. of buildings, a 9-hole golf course, a driving range plus various other indoor and outdoor sports and is substantially bigger than our other facilities. The facility will be officially opened in Spring 2009 and we will operate the driving range and golf course. Heads of Terms are agreed with tenants for the majority of the space which we believe, when complete, will be considered the best sporting facility in Scotland if not the UK. This development provides the template for the future growth of the business and the size is typical for projects that we wish to roll out across the UK. The East Kilbride development is, as we have stated, the model for the future growth of the company. The scale of the development, coupled with long-term commercial leases to the various operators and tenants, will provide the recurring revenues necessary to create value for shareholders. PowerPlay Golf PowerPlay Golf is an innovative development of the traditional game which has been hailed as golf's answer to Cricket's Twenty/20. The Company is a substantial shareholder in PowerPlay with 25%. PowerPlay Golf is currently seeking equity funding to support its development plan to globalise. Whilst we are confident of its future potential, as it is at an early stage in its development, we have taken the prudent approach of continuing to hold this stake at nil value on the balance sheet. On going Negotiations Our business strategy has been designed to use the East Kilbride site as a template for future development and as such we expect to undertake additional joint ventures projects with the Kilmartin Property Group. We believe there are substantial development opportunities across the UK and we are already in negotiations with a number of local authorities to bring our unique multi-sport concept to local communities. Rebranding We intend changing the name of the company from Playgolf (Holdings) Plc to PlaySport Holdings Plc to reflect the strategy of the business to become the premier developer and operator of public access multi-sports facilities on the scale of East Kilbride. A resolution to change the name will be proposed to shareholders at the AGM. The British Government recognises the important benefit of sport on the nations' health. As part of the 2012 Olympic effect the Government has launched a number of financial initiatives to improve access to sports facilities for all. It is this renewed focus on sport for the community and the requirement of local authorities to provide sports facilities that will assist us in securing both the sites and the planning permission necessary to enable us to roll out our model across the United Kingdom.

DIRECTORS' INTERESTS IN CONTRACTS No director was, or is, materially interested in any contract subsisting during, or at the end of the financial year which was significant in relation to the business of the Group except as documented in Note 19. COMPLIANCE As an AIM listed company, the Combined Code is not mandatory and the company has therefore not produced a separate Corporate Governance or Directors' Remuneration Report. STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to; * select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; * make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; * prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. So far as each of the directors is aware at the time the report is approved: * there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and * the directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. CREST The company's ordinary shares are eligible for settlement through CREST, the system for securities to be held and transferred in electronic form rather than in paper. Shareholders are not obliged to use CREST and can continue to hold and transfer shares in paper without loss of rights. AUDITORS A resolution reappointing haysmacintyre will be proposed at the AGM in accordance with S385(2) of the Companies Act 1985. BY ORDER OF THE BOARD E.J. Wainman Secretary 27 June 2008 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PLAYGOLF (HOLDINGS) PLC We have audited the group and parent company financial statements of Playgolf (Holdings) plc for the year ended 31 December 2007 which comprise the Group Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Income and Expense, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group and Parent Company Cash Flow Statements, the Group and Parent Company Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein. This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors The directors' responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted for use in the European Union are set out in the Statement of Directors Responsibilities. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and whether the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the Directors' Report is not consistent with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors' remuneration and other transactions is not disclosed. We read other information contained in the Annual Report, and consider whether it is consistent with the audited financial statements. This other information comprises only the Directors' Report and the Executive Chairman's Review. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information. Basis of audit opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group's and company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. Going Concern Without qualifying our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of and draw your attention to the disclosures made in note 1 to the financial statements concerning the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors consider the reliance on future financing, improvements in trading and the plans for disposal of the unprofitable subsidiaries will be sufficient to meet the working capital requirements of the group for the next twelve months. Opinion In our opinion: * the group financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted for use in the European Union, of the state of the group's affairs as at 31 December 2007 and of its loss for the year then ended; * the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulations; * the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted for use in the European Union as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985, of the state of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2007; and * the information given in the Directors' Report is consistent with the financial statements. haysmacintyreChartered FairfaxHouse15 Fulwood PlaceLondonWC1V 6AY AccountantsRegistered Auditors27 June 2008 PLAYGOLF (HOLDINGS) PLC CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007 2007 2006 Note £'000 £'000 REVENUE 1 Group and share of joint venture - continuing operations 2,384 2,867 - discontinued operations - 72 ------------- ------------ 2,384 2,939 Less: Share of joint venture's revenue - - -------------- -------------- Group revenue 2,384 2,939 Cost of sales (1,006) (1,396) ------------- ------------ GROSS PROFIT 1,378 1,543 Administrative expenses (2,998) (2,909) -------------- ---------------- GROUP OPERATING LOSS (1,620) (1,366) Share of operating loss in joint (12) - venture Continuing operations (1,632) (1,354) Discontinued operations - (12) ------------- ------------ Operating loss of the group and joint 2 (1,632) (1,366) venture Loss on disposal of investments - (43) Net Finance expenditure 3 (836) (768) Other income - 50 --------------- --------------- LOSS ON ORDINARY ACTIVITIES BEFORE TAXATION (2,468) (2,127) Tax on ordinary activities 6 - - ------------- -------------- LOSS ON ORDINARY ACTIVITIES AFTER TAXATION (2,468) (2,127) ------------- ------------- LOSS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR (2,468) (2,127) ====== ====== Loss per share - basic 8 (3.8)p (3.7)p ======= ====== PLAYGOLF (HOLDINGS) PLC CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME AND EXPENSE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007 31 December 2007 31 December 2006 £'000 £'000 LOSS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR (2,468) (2,127) Unrealised surplus on revaluation of - 152 leasehold properties Impairment of leasehold property (1,000) - Reclassification of JV's property as (2,000) - inventories ---------- ---------- Total recognised expense for the year (5,468) (1,975) ====== ====== PLAYGOLF (HOLDINGS) PLC CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AT 31 DECEMBER 2007 2007 2006 Note £'000 £'000 ASSETS Non-current assets Property, plant and equipment 9 15,888 21,843 Provision for joint venture investment Share of gross assets 1,347 - Share of gross liabilities (1,387) ------------ ------------ Share of net liabilities (40) - Loan to joint venture 444 - ------------ ------------ 404 - ------------ ------------ 16,292 21,843 ------------ ------------ Current assets Inventories 11 - 15 Trade and other receivables 12 422 394 Cash and cash equivalents 13 1,246 83 ------------ ------------ 1,668 492 ------------ ------------ TOTAL ASSETS 17,960 22,335 ======= ======= EQUITY Capital and reserves attributable to the Company's equity shareholders Called up share capital 14 156 116 Share premium account 4,919 3,132 Merger reserve 467 467 Revaluation reserve 4,284 9,421 Other reserves 400 400 Retained earnings (3,510) (3,179) ------------ ------------ TOTAL EQUITY 6,716 10,357 ------------ ------------ LIABILITIES Non current liabilities Borrowings 15 10,532 10,950 Current liabilities Borrowings 13,15 41 43 Trade and other payables 16 671 985 ------------ ------------ 712 1,028 ------------ ------------ TOTAL LIABILITIES 11,244 11,978 ------------ ------------ TOTAL EQUITY AND LIABILITIES 17,960 22,335 ======= ======= The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 June 2008 and signed on its behalf by: D.A .C.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, modified by the revaluation of leasehold property, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. It comprises the consolidated financial information of Playgolf (Holdings) Plc and its subsidiaries. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at the time of preparing these statements (June 2008). The policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the periods presented. Playgolf (Holdings) Plc financial statements were prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK GAAP) until 31 December 2006. UK GAAP differs in some areas from IFRS. In preparing the financial statements, the directors have amended certain accounting methods applied in the UK GAAP financial statements to comply with IFRS. There are no reconciling differences in the numbers previously reported for the comparative period, ended 31 December 2006, after the adoption of IFRS. The Company's transition date is 1 January 2006 and it prepared its opening IFRS balance sheet at that date. The Company's IFRS adoption date is 1 January 2007. Going concern The directors have obtained confirmation that repayment of a proportion or all of the Groups' bank loans will not be required in the next twelve months if results are in line with the business plan. This, together with improvements in trading and the plans for disposal of the unprofitable subsidiaries will be sufficient to meet the Group's working capital requirements for the next twelve months. The directors are therefore of the opinion that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. Basis of consolidation The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Playgolf (Holdings) Plc and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December each year. The results of subsidiaries acquired are accounted for from the effective date of acquisition, using the acquisition method. At 31 December 2007, Playgolf (Holdings) Plc owned 50% of the issued share capital of Playgolf Kilmartin Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales. The joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Property, plant and equipment Leasehold land and buildings are stated at valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. The Group has a policy of revaluing all leasehold property, by an external valuer, upon acquisition and on completion of construction. Thereafter, the valuation will be performed annually by the directors and externally at least every eight years. Other tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (a) Financial risk management The Group's activities give rise to a number of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Market risk includes cash flow and fair value interest rate risk. The Group has in place risk management policies that seek to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance. (i) Market risk The Group activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. There has been no significant change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. Interest rate As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group's revenues and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group's interest rate risk arises from its long term borrowings. As the borrowings are bound to the LIBOR, the Group is exposed to changes in the LIBOR throughout the financial year. At 31 December 2007, if the LIBOR had been 0.5% higher, with all other variables held constant, the post-tax loss for the year would have been £50,000 higher. (ii) Credit risk As the Group's business mainly consists of cash sales, trade receivables are limited. However, ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of all accounts receivable. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because counterparties are banks with credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. (iii) Liquidity risk Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. (b) Capital risk management The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to shareholders of the Group, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group manages capital and for the purpose of proper capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The policies and processes have not been changed during the period ending 31 December 2007 nor for the period ending 31 December 2006. (c) Financial instruments The Group does not use derivative financial instruments. (d) Significant accounting policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements. The Group applied the following methods and assumptions during the estimation of fair value of financial instruments: Receivables and deposits at banks All such assets mature within 3 months and therefore the carrying value is similar to fair value due to shortness of these instruments. Loan liabilities Fair value of short term liabilities is similar to its carrying value due to shortness of these instruments. For long term liabilities, contracted interest rates do not significantly defer from current market interest rates, and due to that their fair value is similar to its carrying value. Other financial instruments Financial instruments of the Group which are not valuated at fair value are trade accounts receivable, other receivables, trade accounts payable and other payables. Historic carrying value of assets and liabilities, including the provisions, which are in accordance with the usual business conditions, is similar to its fair value.
