Chairman's Statement



We continue to make progress as we diversify into new complementary areas and
build on our position as a leading multi-media creative consultancy. Our focus
has primarily been orientated around establishing a wider offering for our
clients and building a broad based consultancy, which has the ability to offer
an all encompassing solution.

We have recognised that we need to expand our offering to maintain our profile
in an ever-increasing competitive environment. The market has been tough but I
feel that although we have remained relatively flat in terms of turnover, we
have the ability and technical offering to fulfil our growth ambitions.









Financial Results



Whilst our trading subsidiary continues to be profitable, costs involved in
running a public company have increased. Our focus on building a foundation for
future growth has meant that our numbers are relatively static and as a result
the Group is reporting a profit before taxation and goodwill amortisation of
£141,012 (2006: £259,032) on a turnover of £2,085,367 (2006: £2,173,163) for the
year ended 30 June 2007. Gross profit increased 1.81% to £867,360 (2006:
£864,551) and cash balances stand at £1,039,275 (2006: £885,559). No dividend
will be payable, but the Directors continue to review this position.

The financial results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2007 have been
prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK GAAP)
and not International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS). The Group will adopt
IFRS principles with effect from 1 July 2007.



Operations



Cheerful Scout's two key divisions incorporate a corporate creative consultancy
and a DVD production and design facility. Whilst we were pleased with the growth
of our core DVD production and design division, which delivered a number of
diverse projects for a wide range of leading distributors, our corporate
creative consultancy has been going through a transitional period. We believe
this division has a bright future but understand the need to increase investment
and attract the right people to drive it forward.

Additionally, to fully utilise our technology and creative abilities and take
advantage of opportunities in the rapidly maturing business intelligence market
we have established a new joint venture company, which is breaking new ground
and we hope will add significant turnover in the longer term.





Corporate Creative Consultancy Division



Film and Video Programme Production



Our production team, which conceives and produces unique films and videos for a
wide range of corporations and organisations, continues to perform well. We are
working with an increasing number of blue-chip companies and believe that our
reputation is growing within the industry as a provider of choice.

We have added big names to add to our client list including BP, for whom we
created an internal film working alongside BP's chief scientist Steve Koonin.
Also, in addition to our COI and Centrica rosters, we have won a three year
contract with BAA.

Other companies we have worked for during the year include the University of
Huddersfield, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Allianz, for whom we produced two
corporate films. Additionally, we further strengthened our relationship with the
Department of Optometric Continuing Education & Training ('DOCET') when we were
contracted to produce two videos as follow-on work from the video produced in
August 2006.

I was particularly happy that our presentational abilities were recognised in
the form of the two awards, which we won at the New York Festivals International
Film & Video Awards for two films we produced for the COI and the UK Home
Office. I remain confident that through investment the Company will thrive.



Events



We devise and stage dynamic and engaging live events and conferences for
corporate clients. These are truly interactive events and include high-impact 3D
visual presentations in which live elements can be created and incorporated in
real time, ultimately driving and shaping the outcome of a conference.

Earlier in the year, the team was very busy producing a number of major events
in the UK and Europe including a week long event for Allen & Overy to mark the
opening of the global law firm's new London headquarters and two events for top
corporate communications professionals in the UK in partnership with CorpComms
Magazine. However, in recent months the pace has slowed and we are now examining
how best to build on our strengths in this area. Possibilities include acquiring
a complementary outfit and additional experienced people.



DVD Production and Design Division



Our DVD production and design facility has performed well this year, increasing
its market share through the acquisition of new clients and work on numerous
high-profile titles. This has been further strengthened by a two-year contract
with Contender Entertainment Group.

We have created an extensive list of titles for the corporate and retail markets
including a number of major features such as La Vie en Rose and City of Violence
and various television series such as Life on Mars and Spooks. We are also
working with a growing number of major distribution companies including
FremantleMedia, 2 entertain, Icon, 16 Films, Clear Vision and Universal
Pictures.

We now have a strong foothold in the sector and believe that with the right
economic conditions we can gain even more market share. For this reason, we have
invested in additional high-end equipment and expect to see further growth in
this division.





Business Data Interactive Joint Venture



In August 2007 we took the decision to form a new 60/40 joint venture company,
Business Data Interactive ('BDI'), with Apperly & Associates Limited ('A&A'), to
fully optimise the potential of our proprietary visualisation software package,
which displays business data using real-time, 3D video graphics, allowing the
user rapidly to assess and compare multiple business scenarios. By combining our
technology with A&A's sophisticated analytics and advanced data mining
capabilities, BDI aims to develop powerful, bespoke computer software programmes
to analyse and display business data.

We believe our technology is at the forefront of the vast business intelligence
market and we are excited about the opportunities presenting themselves to us.

Dr James Apperly, who is fronting the new joint venture company, has
considerable experience and excellent contacts in the corporate arena. He
previously worked at leading management consultancy, McKinsey & Company, after
which he established A&A where he worked with a number of blue-chip companies
including BP and Chevron-Texaco US designing and implementing business
intelligence systems.



The Team



The team is naturally key to the success of the business and I am highly
confident in each member's abilities to help Cheerful outshine its competitors.
We use the best talent available and that includes the talent for working as a
strategic partner with our clients as well as talent in the creative, technical
and visual areas.

Our team members are dedicated to the job, expect the best of each other and
believe in our business ethic which is based on one simple aim - to make every
project the best it can be.

We have an active recruitment policy and are looking to further strengthen the
team on both the creative and sales sides.



Outlook



Having established the areas within the business which need further development,
the Company is focused on strengthening its offering through organic growth or
via acquisition. I look forward to updating shareholders on our progress.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2007



1 Accounting policies

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

1.2 Compliance with accounting standards

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards.

1.3 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet include the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 30 June
2007. The results of subsidiaries sold or acquired are included in the profit
and loss account up to, or from the date control passes. Intra-group sales and
profits are eliminated fully on consolidation.

1.4 Turnover

Turnover represent amounts receivable for goods and services, net of VAT and
trade discounts and has been derived from its principal activity.

1.5 Goodwill and impairment

Goodwill arising on acquisition is written off in equal annual instalments over
its estimated useful economic life of 20 years.

The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed for impairment in periods if events
or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
These reviews assess the recoverable amount by reference to the net present
value of expected future cash flows of the relevant income generating
unit at a discount rate of 2.8%. Impairment losses are recognised in the period
in which they are identified.

1.6 Development costs

Development expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the
year in which it is incurred, unless the directors are satisfied as to the
technical, commercial and financial viability of individual projects. In this
situation, the expenditure is deferred and amortised over the period during
which the company is expected to benefit. Development costs of current projects
will be amortised over 4 years.




1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less
estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as
follows:


Leasehold land and buildings                        straight line over the life of the lease


Fixtures, fittings and equipment                    25% straight line


1.8 Leasing

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight
line basis over the lease term.

1.9 Investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in
value.

1.10 Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.11 Deferred taxation

The accounting policy in respect of deferred tax reflects the
requirements of FRS19 - Deferred tax. Deferred tax is provided in full in
respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of
certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is measured on
a non-discounted basis.

1.12 Pensions

The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the
contributions payable by the Group during the year in accordance with FRS17.

1.13 Financial instruments

The Group does not enter into derivative transactions and does not trade in
financial instruments. For the purpose of note 20, short term debtors and
creditors are not treated as financial assets or financial liabilities.

1.14 Foreign currency translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date
of the transaction. All differences are taken to profit and loss account.




1.15 Share-based payment schemes

The fair value of equity rights is estimated using the Binomial model at the
date of grant to key employees and is dependent on factors such as the exercise
price, expected volatility, option price and risk free interest rate. The fair
value is then amortised through the Income Statement on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period. Expected volatility is determined based on the
historical share price volatility for the Company. Further information is given
in note 19 to the financial statements.

9,800,000 (2006: 9,800,000) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

during the year. These adjustments give rise to an increase of 74,597 (2006:
47,162) ordinary shares.

Share options incentives

The Company has set up an EMI Share option scheme for key employees. The maximum
term of current arrangements under the EMI scheme ends on 27 October 2014. Upon
vesting, each option allows the holder to purchase one ordinary share at the pre
agreed option price.


At 30 June 2007, the following share options have not been exercised:

Date of Grant                              Number of shares     Exercise price per share

1 May 2002                                             72,000                     62.50p
28 October 2004                                       221,600                     18.75p


Changes in accounting policies

In line with the requirements of FRS 20 share-based payments, the Group has
changed its policy on the accounting of share options issued as detailed below.
There is no adjustment required to prior years as this was not material.



Share-based payments

The Group has applied the requirements of FRS 20 share-based payments from 1
July 2006. In accordance with the transitional provisions, FRS 20 has been
applied to all grants of equity instruments after 7 November 2002 that were
unvested as of 1 July 2006.

The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to employees.
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of
grant. The fair value as determined at the grant date of equity-settled
share-based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting
period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

Fair value is measured by using the Binomial model. The expected life used in
the model has been adjusted based on management's best estimate for the effect
of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

This is the first year of adoption of FRS 20 share-based payments.

The fair value of the options is calculated using the Binomial model assuming
the following assumptions:




Grant date                                                28 October 2004
Share price at grant date                                 16.25p
Exercise price                                            18.75p
Expected life                                             4 years
Contractual life                                          10 years
Risk free rate                                            6%
Expected volatility                                       43%
Expected dividend rate                                    0%
Fair value option                                         5.9868p



The fair value calculated gives rise to a potential adjustment in the accounts
of £3,943 for the current year and £6,572 for the prior year. In the opinion of
the directors, no adjustment to the financial statements is required as the
amounts are considered to be immaterial.
