I am pleased to announce the Group's unaudited results for the six months ended 
30 September 2009. 
 
 
Results 
 
 
Turnover for the six months ended 30 September 2009 was GBPNIL compared with 
GBP23,000 in the same period last year. The loss (both before and after tax) for 
the half year was GBP123,000 compared with a loss of GBP315,000 in the same 
period last year. The Group finished the period with net funds of GBP2,000 
compared to GBP15,000 at 30 September 2008. 
 
 
 
 
Operating Review and Current Developments 
 
 
As previously reported Playwize has ceased to trade and is treated as an 
investing company under the AIM Rules. The Group announced on 19 November 2009 
that it had signed non-binding heads of terms for the acquisition of a business 
in accordance with its investing strategy. The acquisition, which would 
constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules, remains subject to a number 
of conditions including satisfactory completion of due diligence. Shareholders 
will be updated in due course as appropriate. 
 
 
Trading in the ordinary shares of Playwize on AIM was suspended on 19 November 
2009 as the Group had been unable to implement its investing strategy by this 
time, the anniversary of the extraordinary general meeting of the Group at which 
shareholders gave consent to the investing strategy of Playwize. Under rule 41 
of the AIM Rules Playwize has until 19 May 2010 to complete an acquisition or 
investment that constitutes a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules in line with 
its investing strategy.

has been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those 
financial statements was unqualified and did not contain any statements under

2.Going Concern 
 
 
The directors have assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern 
and have confirmed that the Group will continue to have support from the Group's 
debt finance providers. For this reason, they continue to adopt the "going 
concern" basis for preparing accounts. 
 
 
3.    Loss per share 
 
 
Basic loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the period 
attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares outstanding during the year. 
In view of the group loss for the year, share warrants and options to subscribe 
for ordinary shares in the Company are anti-dilutive and therefore no adjustment 
has been made in order to calculate a diluted loss per share. 
 
 
The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted 
earnings per share computations:
