("Soccercity" or the "Company")
FINANCIAL RESULTS YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2006
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report that Soccercity has progressed throughout the year in
line with our expectations. The 'Soccercity' format of a high quality leisure
offer embracing organised 5-a-side football and children's play areas continues
to increase the number of customers at each of our sites. Utilisation of our
facilities has increased steadily throughout the year with a resultant
improvement in profitability.
Overall turnover for the year was #2,018,063 (2005: #1,802,852) an increase of
12% and, more importantly, profit before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation was #31,760 (2005: loss #232,481). This is the first time the group
has reported a trading profit since flotation in March 2003 and reflects the
hard work that all our staff has put in during the year. The loss before tax for
the period reduced to #283,862 (2005: loss of #634,062).
We have, during the year, continued with the refinancing programme and have
secured additional equity finance and have reduced borrowings through a
combination of loan repayments and conversion of debt into equity.
Operations
Revenues continue to increase at all four sites and, with operational
improvements made during the year, we have created greater capacity at peak
times during the week.
Football, our core activity, accounts for approximately 64% of revenues with our
children's play centres, "Funcity", accounting for around 24% and bar and
function sales accounting for the balance of 12%.
In October 2005, we announced a partnership agreement with Coors brewers, which
has injected #150,000 of cash into the group in the form of a 10-year secured
loan. This partnership has enabled us to consolidate our entire bar and social
events under one brand, and as a result have seen a continued improvement in the
revenues generated from this activity.
During the year investor loans of #345,993 were repaid and new investor loans
were agreed of #255,500. In August 2005, Soccercity raised #261,125 by means of
a placing of 5,222,250 shares at 5p per share.
Material Post year events
Additional funds of #412,500 were raised in April 2006 by the issue of new
shares and, at the same time, investor loans of #155,000 were converted into
convertible loan stock. This has been used to pay down debt, reduce trade
creditors, and invest in a planned refurbishment of the centres. With improved
gearing and increasing profitability, additional funds will be available for
further expansion.
Employees
I would like to thank all the staff working in the Soccercity Group for all
their hard work and commitment during the year, which ensures that Soccercity
offers a consistently high level of organised 5-a-side football to all its
customers.
Outlook
The Board remains confident that the demand for a leisure facility which offers
both good quality, organised football and children's play facilities remains
high and, through the continued hard work of all our staff, the potential for
each of our sites is being realised.
Current trading is in line with our expectations and, once again, revenues per
month per centre are ahead of the previous year. Losses have reduced in this
first half and we expect further progress in the second half of the year.
The opening of a "Funcity" facility at our Huddersfield site was deferred until
the current fiscal year pending the opening of a dedicated marketing department
and call centre, which was opened in January 2006. The refurbishment works to
each of our existing centres have been geared towards improving the customer
experience and includes the installation of a new media system with flat panel
TVs, projection TVs and decoration to the bars and social areas. A new
Soccercity website has been designed and launched which will provide immediate
information for new and existing customers.
Whilst football remains our core activity we expect the contribution from both
the children's play areas and the function suites to continue to grow and with
the resultant growth in income from all activities, we are confident of
achieving a further improvement in results in the current year.

9 GOING CONCERN AND POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
The Group has made a loss for the year after taxation of #283,862 (2005:
#603,586) and has net current liabilities of #1,245,597 (2005: #1,392,862).
However, the Group achieved a profit before depreciation and amortisation of
#31,760 (2005: loss of #232,481). This improvement has been achieved by
increasing sales by #215,211 and reducing personnel costs by over 46% to
#387,185. The directors anticipate and have forecasted that the improvements
achieved during the year, together with an aggressive sales strategy for the
forthcoming year will reflect favourably in future trading performance and
generate positive cash flows.
Additional funds for the group were raised in April 2006 of #412,500 by the
issue of 41,250,000 new shares and #155,000 of investor loans has been converted
into convertible loan stock. The new funds have been used, to develop the
facilities at each centre, reduce creditors and improve the cashflow of the
group.
The group is currently operating within its lending facilities and an increase
in the profitability of the group is forecast for the remainder of the year.
Following the introduction of the new equity, the conversion of existing loans
and with increased sales and profitability the directors are confident that
their forecasts will be achieved, and hence consider it appropriate for the
accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.
