Notes


1 BASIS OF PREPARATION


The Directors approved the interim financial statements on 26 February 2007. The
interim financial information for the six months to 30 November 2006 is
unaudited and has been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in the
statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2006. These accounting policies are
also expected to be adopted in the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May
2007. The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 November
2006 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2006, which
received an unqualified auditors' report, have been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies.



2 TAXATION


There is no tax liability for the periods reported and no deferred tax asset has
been recognised in respect of the tax losses carried forward.



3 (LOSS)/EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE


The calculation of basic (loss)/earnings per share is based on loss of #32,000
(six months ended 30 November 2005: profit of #39,000, year ended 31 May 2006:
loss of #34,000) and ordinary shares of 9,510,000 (30 November 2005: 8,914,167;
31 May 2006: 9,455,833) being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue during the period.

9 EXPLANATION OF TRANSITION TO IFRS


The group adopted IFRS for the first time for the audited financial statements
for the year ended 31 May 2006. The interim results for the six months to 30
November 2005 were prepared under UK GAAP and hence have been restated to
reflect IFRS. A detailed explanation of the transition to IFRS is given in the
financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2006.


The Group previously consolidated using merger accounting, which is prohibited
under IFRS. Consequently, the merger reserve of #1,072,000 that existed under
merger accounting has been taken to the income statement, under IFRS 3 Business
Combinations, and hence the profit and loss account at 31 May 2005 under IFRS
became #456,000 as opposed to a negative reserve of #616,000 under UK GAAP and
the merger reserve became #nil.
