CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Financial Highlights
It gives me great pleasure to present the figures for the year ended 31 December 2007. During the period under review, turnover
increased by 28.9% to �16,633,307 (2006: �12,903,451), gross profit rose by 128% to �1,511,582 (2006: �661,592), and profit before tax was
up by 158% to �409,849 (2006: �158,492).
Whilst in line with my interim statement, these results for the period are all the more pleasing given they were achieved against the
backdrop of a very weak dollar, a significant increase in the worldwide price of oil, and the inherent workload of "bedding in" last year's
acquisitions during the busiest time of the year. I am also pleased to report that the number of yachts fuelled during the year rose to 303
(2006: 271). Perhaps most significantly the Group is still debt-free and maintains a positive cash-flow.
Once again, I believe that these results demonstrate the Group's resilience to adverse outside influences, the quality of its various
brands, and the skill and dedication of its personnel.
Additionally, I can report that the first quarter of 2008 has been very encouraging and shows a significant improvement over the same
period in 2007 as the Group continues to expand its business base.
Post Year Events
Although I would not normally comment in this statement on post year-end events other than a brief mention of trading conditions, one
event is so significant to the future of the Group that it needs to be mentioned.
On 27 May 2008 we completed the acquisition of YCO, a super yacht sale, purchase, charter, management, and crew recruitment company
based in Monaco. YCO also project manages super yacht builds of which it currently has nine on the go. This acquisition is a large part of
our stated strategy of becoming a market consolidator as it uniquely delivers super yacht operations that were previously not contained
within the Group, and vice versa.
Given the strength of the YCO branding, the Board additionally took the decision to change the name of our Group to "YCO Deuxmil plc",
which now has over 80 employees across 8 European offices.
Outlook
Over the period under review we have concentrated on integrating our acquisitions in Spain and Gibraltar. A new office was opened in
Gibraltar and we have rationalised the management structure and staff complement in Palma making it a much leaner and more efficient
operation. Now, with the addition of YCO to the Group, I see the year of 2008 as one of further consolidation and integration of our various
businesses so that we may exploit the obvious synergies that exist across the various facets of the Group in order to produce greater
shareholder value.
It is also our intention in 2008 to begin a "roll-out" of Yacht Help Group offices in a select number of locations around the world,
each office including a YCO Crew operation within it. We have just started an initial test of the combination of the two businesses within
the Yacht Help Group offices in Palma and I am pleased to report that the initial results are very encouraging. I hope to report further
progress on the development of this structure in my next interim statement.
Summary
As I have stated in previous statements our strategy has always been one of diversification within the super yacht industry and becoming
a leading market consolidator. I feel that with the acquisition of YCO we have taken a huge step forward towards achieving this objective.
We believe that the Group is now widely regarded as the largest full-service provider to the world's privately owned super yacht fleet.
Our industry continues to grow with more, bigger, and better super yachts being launched monthly across the world. I feel that the Group
is now perfectly placed to maximise the potential of this quickly expanding marketplace.

CEO's REPORT
Trading Update
I would like to take this opportunity to provide my first Group update on trading for the current financial year for the five months to
31st May.
Yacht Fuel Services (YFS), our core super yacht fuelling division, has had the best start to a year since records began twenty years
ago. The high oil price has not deterred our customers and we have continued to grow the business in what has historically been the quietest
time of the year. When compared to the first five months of last year, tonnage is up by 10% and fuel sales revenue up 40% due primarily to
the high oil prices. As such, the YFS business continues to grow and we maintain our position as the largest supplier of fuel to privately
owned super yachts.
Meanwhile, Yacht Help Group (YHG), our super yacht provisioning division, is now beginning to see the benefit of having a second office
in Barcelona. In less than a year, we have managed to build an excellent operation in Barcelona that complements YHG's existing presence in
Palma. As a result, YHG's turnover for the first five months of this year is up 70% to that of the same period for last year and, more
significantly, overheads have been much reduced in its operation.
Furthermore, now that the acquisition of YCO has completed, it is our intention to roll out the YHG operation into three other countries
this year so as to provide additional support and services to YCO's "yachts under management" clients as well as to other customers wishing
to use the YHG service.
The precedent of cross-fertilising the YCO and YHG operations has already been successful as seen with a YCO Crew team - responsible for
super yacht crew recruitment - being successfully established in YHG's offices in Palma. Again, it is our intention to establish YCO Crew
teams in all the YHG offices that are in existence as well as the new ones that we plan to open in the future.
Staying with our existing operations in the Balearics, I can also report that B A Yachts (BAY) has moved its offices into those of YHG's
in Palma. is now responsible for both operations and we are very happy with how this is progressing. BAY plays an important niche role for
super yachts because of the tax and duties it is able to recover for yachts that are wintering in Palma whilst minor repair are being
undertaken. The combination of YHG and BAY is an exceptionally strong business proposition that has very few competitors in Palma, and we
expect the benefits of bringing the two businesses together will bear fruit in the second half of the year.
The significant feature for 2008 will be the impact that YCO can bring to the Company. The 2007 accounts for YCO show an unaudited
profit before tax of �1.7m and we are looking in 2008 for a good improvement in this number.
The YCO business is split into five main areas and I can report as follows on them for the first five months of 2008:
* Charter: the number of yachts for which YCO acts as the central agent has risen by 60% and the total revenues generated from
charters has more than doubled with a 104% increase when compared to the first five months of 2007.
* New construction: YCO currently has 9 yachts between 40 meters and 135 meters under construction; this is double the amount for
the same period last year.
* Yachts under management: this is a very important part of the YCO business model because it delivers monthly recurring revenue.
YCO presently has 65% more yachts under management than at the same time last year and has signed eight new management yachts since the
beginning of 2008.
* Sales: In the first five months of 2008 YCO surpassed the total sales of 2007 selling six yachts.
* YCO Crew: this is the yacht crew recruitment side of the business and is going from strength to strength. Compared to the same
period last year, there has been a 40% increase in the number of crew successfully placed on yachts.
In YCO we have acquired an exceptionally strong and complementary business. We are confident that we can integrate all the companies now
in the Group so that they all provide a uniformly high and consistent level of service as the reputation of all of the companies within the
Group is based on that of delivering excellence. We aim to provide a world class service each and every time and that is why we believe more
and more super yacht owners are now using us. In summary, whilst the YCO acquisition made a significant demand on management's time and took
eight months to conclude, I am delighted to say that we have still been able to successfully grow our business throughout this period.
We are all excited by the future and the challenges that are ahead of us. We firmly believe that we can continue to grow the business
successfully and are proud of our position as the world's largest service provider to privately owned super yachts.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2007
GENERAL INFORMATION
YCO Deuxmil Plc (formerly Deuxmil Marine Plc) is a company incorporated in England and Wales and quoted on the Alternative Investment
Market of the London Stock Exchange. The address of the registered office is disclosed on page 1 of the financial statements. The principal
activity of the Group is described on page 6. The Company changed to its present name on 27 May 2008 upon the successful acquisition of YCO
S.A.M.
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Companies Act
1985 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The
principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The Group's *nancial statements were prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) until 31
December 2006. UK GAAP differs in some areas from IFRS. In preparing the Group and Company *nancial statements, management has considered
certain accounting, valuation and consolidation methods applied in the UK GAAP *nancial statements to comply with IFRS. The comparative
*gures in respect of 2006 were restated to re*ect these adjustments, except as described in the accounting policies. Reconciliations and
descriptions of the effect of the transition from GAAP to IFRS on the Group's equity and its net income and cash *ows are provided in Note
27.
(a) Standards, amendment and interpretations effective in 2007
IFRS 7, 'Financial instruments: Disclosures', and the complementary amendment to IAS 1, 'Presentation of financial statements - Capital
disclosures', introduces new disclosures relating to financial instruments and does not have any impact on the classification and valuation
of the Group's financial instruments, or the disclosures relating to taxation, trade and other payables.
IFRIC 8, 'Scope of IFRS 2', requires consideration of transactions involving the issuance of equity instruments, where the identifiable
consideration received is less than the fair value of the equity instruments issued in order to establish whether or not they fall within
the scope of IFRS 2. This standard does not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.
IFRIC 10, 'Interim financial reporting and impairment', prohibits the impairment losses recognized in an interim Year on goodwill and
investments in equity instruments and in financial assets carried at cost to be reversed at a subsequent balance sheet date. This standard
does not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.
(b) Standards, amendment and interpretations effective in 2006
IFRS 1 (Amendment), First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;
IAS 21 (Amendment), Net Investment in a Foreign Operation;
IAS 39 (Amendment), Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intercompany transactions;
IAS 39 (Amendment), The Fair Value Option; and
IAS 39 and IFRS 4 (Amendment), Financial Guarantee Contracts;
(c) Standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2006 but not relevant
The following standards, amendments and interpretations are mandatory for accounting
Years beginning on or after 1 January 2006 but are not relevant to the Group's operations:
IFRS 6 (Amendment), Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources;
IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources;
IFRIC 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease;
IFRIC 5, Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds; and
IFRIC 6, Liabilities arising from Participating in a Specific Market waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment;
(d) Standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2007 but not relevant
The following standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards are mandatory for accounting Years beginning on or after
1 January 2007 but they are not relevant to the Group's operations:
IFRS 4, 'Insurance contracts';
IFRIC 7, 'Applying the restatement approach under IAS 29, Financial reporting in hyper-inflationary economies';
IFRIC 9, 'Re-assessment of embedded derivatives', and
IFRIC 11, 'IFRS 2 - Group and treasury share transactions'
(e) Interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group.
The following interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group's accounting years beginning on
or after 1 January 2008 or later years but the Group has not adopted them:
IFRS 8, 'Operating segments '(effective from 1 January 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 and aligns segment reporting with the requirements
of the US standard SFAS 131, 'Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information'. The new standard requires a 'management
approach', under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The Group will apply
IFRS 8 from 1 January 2009. The expected impact is still being assessed in detail by management, but it appears likely that the number of
reportable segments, as well as the manner in which the segments are reported, will change in a manner that is consistent with the internal
reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. As goodwill is allocated to Groups of cash-generating units based on segment
level, the change will also require management to reallocate goodwill to the newly identified operating segments. Management does not
anticipate that this will result in any material impairment to the goodwill balance.
(f) Interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and not relevant for the Group's operations
The following interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group's accounting Years beginning on
or after 1 January 2008 or later years but are not relevant for the Group's operations:
IAS 23 (Amendment), 'Borrowing costs' (effective from 1 January 2009). It requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial Year of time to get ready
for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs will be removed. IAS 23
(Amended) is not relevant to the Group as there are no qualifying assets.
IFRIC 12, 'Service concession arrangements' (effective from 1 January 2008). IFRIC 12 applies to contractual arrangements whereby a
private sector operator participates in the development, financing, operation and maintenance of infrastructure for public sector services.
IFRIC 12 is not relevant to the Group's operations because the Group does not provide for public sector services.
IFRIC 13, 'Customer loyalty programmes' (effective from 1 July 2008). IFRIC 13 clarifies that where goods or services are sold together
with a customer loyalty incentive (for example, loyalty points or free products), the arrangement is a multiple-element arrangement and the
consideration receivable from the customer is allocated between the components of the arrangement in using fair values. IFRIC 13 is not
relevant to the Group's operations because the Group does not operate any loyalty programmes.
IFRIC 14, 'IAS 19 - The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction' (effective from 1 January
2008). IFRIC 14 provides guidance on assessing the limit in IAS 19 on the amount of the surplus that can be recognised as an asset. It also
explains how the pension asset or liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum-funding requirement. IFRIC 14 is not
relevant to the Group, as it does not have pension scheme in place.
Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which YCO Deuxmil Plc (formerly Deuxmil Marine Plc) has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to YCO Deuxmil Plc (formerly Deuxmil Marine Plc). They are
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is
measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus
costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a
business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority
interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded
as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is
recognised directly in the income statement.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are
also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted the Group.
Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of
the acquired subsidiary or associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in 'intangible
assets'. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in 'investments in associates' and is tested for impairment as part of the
overall balance. Separately recognised goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill
relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating
units or Groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The Group
allocates goodwill to each business segment in each country in which it operates.
(b) Trademarks and licences
Acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks and licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost
less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licences
over their estimated useful lives.
Licenses 20% on cost
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating
units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each
reporting date.
Property, plant and equipment
Tangible non-current assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The
carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the
financial Year in which they are incurred. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its
estimated useful life.
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 5% - 35% on cost
Motor vehicles - 16% - 25% on cost
The asset's residual values and useful economic lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset's
carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable value.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within other (losses)
or gains in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in other reserves are transferred to retained
earnings.
Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course
of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the
Group.
Functional currency translation
i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
entity operates (the functional currency), which is mainly Euros (EUR). The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (�), which
is the Group's presentation currency.
ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the presentational currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(b) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at
the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
(c) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and
other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders' equity. When a foreign operation is
partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain
or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
entity and translated at the closing rate.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on the taxable
profit for the year. Taxable profit differed from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The entity's
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises
from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted
or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the
deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which
the temporary differences can be utilised.
Operating leases
Rental leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income
statement.
Segment reporting
A business segment is a Group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns
that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a
particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic
environments.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the
balance sheet.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials and other direct costs. It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be
able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor,
probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments is considered
indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.
Trade payables
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised
cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the
year of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Financial Instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash
equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or
loss, any directly attributable transactions costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial
instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets
are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the
financial assets to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and
sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Fair values
The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables of the Group at
the balance sheet date approximated their fair values, due to relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company provides financial guarantees to licensed banks for credit facilities extended to a subsidiary company. The fair value of
such financial guarantees is not expected to be significantly different as the probability of the subsidiary company defaulting on the
credit lines is remote.
Share-based compensation
The fair value of the employee and suppliers services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The
total amount to be expensed over the vesting year is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact
of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in
assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the
number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income
statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium
when the options are exercised.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the
proceeds.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities are discussed below:
(a) Impairment of goodwill
The Group is required to test, at least annually, whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount is determined
based on value in use calculations. The use of this method requires the estimation of future cash flows and the choice of a suitable
discount rate in order to calculate the present value of these cash flows. Actual outcomes could vary.
(b) Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be recoverable. When a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is determined based on value in use calculations
prepared on the basis of management's assumptions and estimates.
(c) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is provided so as to write down the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as set out above. The
selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of management judgement.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the directors consider that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on earnings after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue during the year. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group has two classes of dilutive potential ordinary shares being those share
options granted to employees and suppliers where the exercise price is less than the average market price of the Group's ordinary shares
during the year and the shares to be issued to satisfy the deferred consideration on the acquisition of a subsidiary.

21. RISK AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, capital
risk and credit risk. The Group's activities also expose it to non-financial risks: market risk. The Group's overall risk management
programme focuses on unpredictability and seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Board,
on a regular basis, reviews key risks and, where appropriate, actions are taken to mitigate the key risks identified.
Interest rate and foreign currency risk
The Group does not have formal policies on interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. However, the Group's exposure in these areas (as
at the balance sheet date) was minimal.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than pound
sterling (�). The Group maintains a natural hedge that minimises the foreign exchange exposure by matching foreign currency income with
foreign currency costs.
The Group does not consider it necessary to enter into foreign exchange contracts in managing its foreign exchange risk resulting from
cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currency, given the nature of the business for the time being.
The net unhedged financial assets and liabilities of the Group that are denominated in its functional currency are as follows:
Group
Financial Assets Financial Liabilities
2007 2006 2007 2006
� � � �
Euro (EUR) 356,881 87,357 608,600 117,385
United States Dollars (US$) 641,396 633,813 1,241,599 959,874
998,277 721,170 1,850,199 1,077,259
Liquidity risk
The Group prepares periodic working capital forecasts for the foreseeable future, allowing an assessment of the cash requirements of the
company, to manage liquidity risk. The directors have considered the risk posed by liquidity and are satisfied that there is sufficient
growth and equity in the company.
Capital risk
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Market risk
The market may not grow as rapidly as anticipated. The Group may lose customers to its competitors. The Group's major competitors may
have significantly greater financial resources than those available to the company. There is no certainty that the company will be able to
achieve its projected levels of sales or profitability.
Credit risk
The Group's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables. The credit risk on liquid funds is
limited because the counter parties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The Group's credit
risk is primarily attributable to its trade. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowance for doubtful receivables. An
allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experiences, is evidence of a reduction in
the recoverability of the cash flows. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of
counter parties and customers.
22. FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS
Operating lease commitments
The Group leases office premises under a non-cancellable operating lease agreement, which contains various escalation clauses and
renewal rights. The lease expenditure is charged to the income statement during the year as incurred. At the balance sheet date the Group
was committed to payments under the operating lease agreement as follows:
2007 2006

Less than one year 51,727 38,500
Between one and five years 5,260 28,875

There was no capital expenditure contracted for at each of the balance sheet dates but not yet incurred.
