                                  ("Caplay")                                   

                             Outcome of Litigation                             

The Board of Caplay Plc is pleased to announce that the High Court has ruled in
favour of Caplay Plc in the proceedings issued by Mr Kenneth Murray, the former
Chief Executive of the Company.

The judge made various criticisms of Mr Murray's conduct and ruled that his
claims for three years salary and benefits as a severance package have failed
and that no payment is due to Mr Murray.

Caplay had provided fully for the three years salary and benefits totalling �
850,000 and will now seek to recover those funds from escrow and reverse the
provision made in the 2003 accounts.

Caplay also intend to apply to the High Court to recover their costs of the
litigation from Mr Murray.

Caplay Chairman, Philip Reid, commented:

"We are delighted with today's result and can now put these matters behind us
to concentrate fully on the future growth of the business. The funds from our
recent fundraising combined with the recovery of the funds from escrow which
had been set aside for the case against Mr Murray afford us an attractive
position from which to make future investments."
