PCG Entertainment Plc (AIM: PCGE), the AIM quoted Asia-Pacific
online gaming and media company, today announces its interim
results for the six months ending 30 June 2016.
A summary of the interim report and accounts is set out below.

Chief Executive Officer's statement
I am pleased to announce interim results for PCG Entertainment
plc for the six-month period ending 30 June 2016 (the "Period").
The Company remains focused on the development of its business in
the media, sports and gaming industry across the Asia-Pacific
region.
During the Period, revenues were US$8,616,129, and these were
entirely generated from the Centre Point Development Corporation
("CPDC") part of the business. Gross profit was US$3,832,327,
which, after expenses, nets to an operating loss of US$488,492. The
loss is generated by a provision of $2,208,153 against receivables
of CPDC, which are currently being disputed by the customer. This
was noted in the trading updates published on 31(st) May and 6(th)
June 2016. This has now been provided for in full as a doubtful
debt, though the Directors continue to work towards an amicable
solution.
PCGE expects ongoing revenues from CPDC in the second half of
2016 as the Company launches its own games management platform. The
Board is in continuous talks with potential sports and media
projects and will update shareholders as these develop.
We have noted comments on why shareholders have not been
updated. Under the rules of AIM we are unable to comment
continuously on deals we are working on which may or may not come
to fruition nor are we able to comment on any fundraising
initiatives which may or may not be realised. As always we will
update shareholders as soon as we are able to do so on all PCGE's
initiatives.
Nicholas Bryant
Director, CEO
Interim Results' Highlights include:
1 Group cash balances at 30 June 2016 of US$60,502 (30 June 2015: US$864,799)
2 The loss for the Group is US$(745,766) (June 2015: US$2,482,669)

acquisition agreed in the Sale and Purchase Agreement
4 In the current half year to 30 June 2015 we have made a
provision of $2,208,153, against revenue owed by a debtor to CPDC.
This is included in administrative expenses. This will be written
back as and when these funds are recovered.
