CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
During the year ended 30 April 2005, ANGLE made good progress in developing its
business in accordance with plans set out at flotation in March 2004.
Strong growth of the Consulting and Management businesses was achieved and the
Ventures business was scaled up using the monies raised at the flotation.
Investments were made to establish three new Progeny(R) Companies in the year
with a fourth announced immediately after the year end.
Strong progress was made by Acolyte Biomedica, NeuroTargets and Provexis against
their milestones during the year, with a notable success being Provexis'
flotation completed in June 2005.
Results
In the year ended 30 April 2005, ANGLE increased turnover by 44% to £4.13
million (2004: £2.87 million). The loss before tax was £2.35 million, which was
principally made up of the following elements:
• Increased profit before tax on the Consulting and Management businesses to
£0.52 million (2004: £0.43 million), up by 22%;
• Increased investment to establish and develop new Ventures expensed in the
profit and loss account of £1.79 million (2004: £0.68 million) up 164%;
• A provision for diminution in the value of investments of £1.57 million
resulting from our holding in Corpora plc;
• Interest of £0.24 million (2004: £0.05 million).
In 2004 the profit before tax was £2.33 million, which included profit of £2.31
million on disposal of Exago to Corpora plc. The basic loss per share was
13.87p (2004: profit 20.43p).
Finance
At the year end, ANGLE had cash at bank of £5.55 million (2004: £8.25 million).
The reduction was principally planned investment to establish and develop new
Ventures, which increased by 251% to £3.02 million (2004: £0.86 million)
comprising Ventures operating costs expensed in the profit and loss account of
£1.79 million (2004: £0.68 million) and increase in fixed asset investments on
the balance sheet of £1.24 million (2004: £0.19 million).
In addition to cash balances, ANGLE held a quoted investment valued at £0.88
million at the year end relating to its holdings in Corpora plc. Subsequent to
the year end, completion of the Provexis flotation led to ANGLE holding an
additional quoted investment in Provexis plc valued at £3.47 million at the
placing price, which included a gain in valuation of £2.00 million.
Progeny(R) Companies
Significant progress has been made in expanding our Ventures capabilities and
activities. Senior staff have been appointed to lead and develop new Ventures
in both the UK and US markets, bringing experience from major corporate,
management consulting and venture capital roles.
During the year, we completed work on establishing four new Progeny(R)
Companies, three of which were founded in the year and the fourth immediately
thereafter. These companies address large markets in software testing, internet
personalisation, computer graphics and IVF embryo viability.
We are in negotiation with several major corporates and universities in the UK
and US to agree the basis for commercialisation of their intellectual property.
Of our four Progeny(R) companies existing at the start of the financial year,
three developed well during the year according to their agreed milestones. Of
particular note, was the work undertaken during the year towards the flotation
of Provexis, which completed in June 2005. Development of the fourth company,
IDR Therapeutics, was terminated when market evaluation indicated that there
were better alternative opportunities available to us.
Strategy and Outlook
ANGLE's objective is to achieve profitable long term capital growth for its
shareholders through the successful combination of its Consulting and Management
businesses with the establishment and development of a portfolio of Progeny(R)
Companies in a range of technology sectors. The Group's access to intellectual
property combined with its highly experienced management team puts it in a
strong position to fulfil this objective over the next few years.
The Consulting and Management order book remains strong at £8.98 million at 30
April 2005 (2004: £3.23 million), with particularly strong growth forecast in
the Middle East as a result of a major new contract in Qatar.
The outlook for the current financial year is encouraging. Since the start of
the financial year, we have already made a number of important announcements
including the:
• flotation of Provexis through a reverse acquisition of Nutrinnovator
Holdings plc raising new equity of £5.9m from new funding and the
conversion of loans. Provexis' leading product Sirco, containing active
ingredient FruitFlow(R) (previously known as CardioFlow(R)) for
maintaining cardiovascular health, is scheduled to be launched in UK
supermarkets in the final quarter of 2005;
• launch of the BacLite(R) MRSA detection product by Acolyte Biomedica
with sales to Barts and the London NHS Trust and Salisbury District
Hospital. The product has been well received and the company expects
strong demand. Separately Acolyte signed a joint venture with Scottish
National Blood Transfusion Service to develop a test for bacterial
contaminants in blood.
• formation of a new Progeny(R) Company, Geomerics, to commercialise
intellectual property developed by academics from the University
of Cambridge for application in high speed computer games graphics.
The pipeline of potential Progeny(R) Companies is strong and presents
significant opportunities for ANGLE to further expand its Venture development
activities.
I would like to thank all members of the ANGLE team for their efforts in
delivering a strong performance in our first year as a public company. We have
an exceptional team, and I am grateful for all their hard work, enthusiasm and
commitment to the business. I look forward to working with them in the year
ahead.

OPERATIONS SUMMARY
Consulting and Management
ANGLE has built profitable Consulting and Management businesses in the UK, US
and Middle East, generating revenue and providing expert in-house staff
capability as well as the opportunity to build important relationships with
corporates, government research establishments and universities. The
relationships with owners of intellectual property are a key channel for the
Group to identify and exploit opportunities to commercialise intellectual
property using its proprietary Progeny(R) process.
The Consulting and Management businesses have performed strongly during the
year. Fees increased 47% to £3.90 million (2004: £2.66 million) resulting in a
profit up 22% at £0.52 million (2004: £0.43 million). A number of major
contracts were secured during the year and the order book is strong at £8.98
million (2004: £3.23 million).
During the year, ANGLE secured its largest ever fee-for-service contract, to
manage the Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) until March 2009. The
contract is worth over £6m in addition to the existing Qatar contracts. ANGLE
is responsible for the effective establishment and operation of the QSTP,
placing us at the centre of one of the world's most ambitious technology
commercialisation projects. We will be leading the research and
commercialisation process in Qatar through a raft of QSTP programmes including
the creation and growth of new technology companies, establishment of a venture
capital fund, and development of an entrepreneurship training and mentoring
program.
Ventures
The Ventures business made good progress during the year. The management teams
in the UK and US were both strengthened with new recruits, and, in accordance
with our plans set out at the time of flotation, investment to establish and
develop new Ventures was increased 251% to £3.02 million (2004: £0.86 million).
This comprised Ventures operating costs expensed in the profit and loss account
of £1.79 million (2004: £0.68 million) and an increase in fixed asset
investments on the balance sheet of £1.24 million (2004: £0.19 million).
The pipeline of new opportunities available to ANGLE has been significantly
developed. An example of this was the agreement with Ben Franklin Technology
Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania (BFTP), an internationally recognised
economic development organisation, to advance the growth of technology-based
companies in the Greater Philadelphia region. It is contemplated that ANGLE
will commit $5 million over five years for funding new technology spin-outs that
meet its Progeny(R) requirements. This funding will be matched by BFTP on a
non-dilutive basis, thus doubling the leverage on ANGLE funds for creating
Progeny(R) companies.
The Greater Philadelphia region is home to many of the world's most renowned
academic institutions including the University of Pennsylvania - one of the
leading research universities in the United States. Collectively, the region's
academic institutions attract more than $1 billion of research funding per
annum, generating more than 200 patent applications per year. The region is
well recognised as a global leader in the bio-pharma and medical research arena.
ANGLE will serve as BFTP's preferred commercialisation partner for
technologies from universities, colleges and related institutions in the region.
This agreement demonstrates the benefit ANGLE obtains from the combination of
its Consulting and Management businesses with its Ventures business. ANGLE's
relationship with BFTP has developed from successful consulting work in
Pennsylvania, including the development of the strategy for nanotechnology in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
During the year, work was undertaken on establishing four new Progeny(R)
Companies:
• ContraSoft: a software testing product company commercialising
technology developed by a corporate VP of R&D and University of
Texas academic to improve productivity, reduce costs and improve
quality in the software testing process.
• Customiser: an internet personalisation company founded to
commercialise intellectual property generated by a Cambridge team of
psychologists and University pattern recognition experts to improve
on-line advertising and sales.
• Geomerics: a computational graphics company founded just after the year
end to commercialise intellectual property developed by a team of
leading academics from the University of Cambridge, Colorado School of
Mines and Arizona State University for application in high speed
computer games graphics.
• Novocellus: an IVF diagnostic company founded to commercialise
revolutionary technology from University of York for non-invasive
testing of the viability of IVF embryos.
Each of these new Progeny(R) Companies offer the potential to address major
worldwide markets with differentiated products protected by intellectual
property. The development of these companies is carefully controlled using
ANGLE's Progeny(R) process to minimise the development risk and enhance the
return to all the shareholders. Substantial capital returns are expected to
accrue to ANGLE shareholders from these new Progeny companies within three to
five years.
Good progress was made with ANGLE's existing Progeny(R) companies. Most
notably, work during the year resulted in the flotation on AIM of Provexis via a
reverse acquisition of Nutrinnovator Holdings plc raising £5.9 million through a
placing and the conversion of loans. Since the flotation was completed in June
2005, the financial impact of the transaction is not shown in ANGLE's accounts
to 30 April 2005.
Provexis was founded by ANGLE in 2000, using the Progeny(R) process, as a joint
venture with the Rowett Institute (a leading human nutrition research centre).
ANGLE's cost of investment on the balance sheet to develop Provexis using the
Progeny(R) process is £0.46 million. At the placing price, this original
investment is valued at £2.13 million representing a multiple on investment of
4.6 times, an increase of £1.67 million over cost. In addition, ANGLE provided
Provexis with convertible loan funding of £0.50 million in February 2005. This
loan has been converted into new shares in Provexis plc valued at £0.83 million
at the placing price, representing a multiple on investment of 1.7 times and an
increase of £0.33 million over cost. The overall gain in valuation to ANGLE
from the transaction is £2.00 million at the placing price.
ANGLE believes that the value of Provexis may increase substantially if Provexis
is successful in its launch of Sirco and has therefore invested £0.50 million in
the placing. Following the placing and completion of the reverse takeover,
ANGLE holds 24.8% of Provexis plc's issued share capital.
ANGLE currently holds investments in eight companies, which it has developed
using its established Progeny(R) process. Provexis is the second successful
transaction for ANGLE's venture companies since ANGLE's flotation in March 2004
and further demonstrates the value of ANGLE's Progeny(R) process.
In addition to work on Provexis' flotation, progress has also been made during
the year with the Progeny(R) companies established before ANGLE's flotation,
notably:
• Acolyte Biomedica has completed the development of its MRSA testing
product and made its first sales of this product in May 2005.
Independent hospital analysis of the product has been highly favourable
and market demand looks promising;
• NeuroTargets has progressed its nerve injury and pain treatments and
secured an alliance with BioFocus plc aimed at discovering treatments
for nerve injury and pain;
• Provexis has progressed product development and clinical trials of
Sirco, its cardio-vascular health drink containing active ingredient
FruitFlow(R) (formerly known as CardioFlow(R)) and has announced plans
for the launch of the drink in the final quarter of 2005.
During the year, a detailed evaluation was undertaken of the market prospects
for Progeny(R) company, IDR Therapeutics. It was concluded that the market
dynamic for IDR's product offering had changed with the likely impact that the
company would require a significantly increased level of investment over a
longer timescale before a return would be achieved. Under these new
circumstances, the development of IDR Therapeutics no longer met our
requirements for investment under the Progeny(R) process. Accordingly the
programme was terminated. The cost of investment was £0.14 million, all of
which had previously been expensed through the profit and loss account.
Whilst it was disappointing to terminate the IDR programme, the strength of the
Progeny(R) process was demonstrated through identification of a potential
problem in advance of a major financial investment. Where problems are
identified in the future with other Progeny(R) companies, these will be
similarly terminated with the minimum investment from ANGLE having been
committed.
The share price of Corpora PLC, the AIM listed company in which ANGLE holds
shares following the sale of its Progeny(R) company Exago to Corpora, has
regrettably fallen significantly during the year resulting in the need for an
increase in the provision for the diminution in value of investments to £1.57
million. Even after this write down, ANGLE's original investment is still
valued at £0.85 million at the year end which is 4.0 times cost. On a more
positive note, Corpora has recently completed a £3m placing to fund expansion
and announced software product sales to Microsoft and EDS.
The Company's ongoing strategy is to create more Progeny(R) companies in the
biosciences, electronics, optronics, IT, materials, nanotechnology and software
sectors. At the year end, the pipeline for further Venture opportunities was
strong. ANGLE's business model, high calibre management and its Progeny(R)
process have been recognised by many potential technology partners as bridging a
critical gap in exploiting their intellectual property. As a result ANGLE is
evaluating new Venture opportunities with several of the UK's and US's top
technology universities, key research organisations and FTSE 100 / Fortune 500
businesses.
ANGLE's business is scaleable, well diversified into international markets and
benefits from a portfolio of companies specialising in a number of different
sectors. This diversity and flexibility is key to ANGLE's ongoing strength and
stability.
With a solid performance underpinning its activities, a strong sold order book
going forward and many exciting and profitable venture opportunities on the
horizon, ANGLE is facing the future with confidence and optimism.

ANGLE PLC
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2005
The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company's
statutory financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2005 within the
meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985 but are derived from the
audited financial statements. The auditors have reported on these accounts and
their report was unqualified and did not contain statements under s237(2) or (3)
of the Companies Act 1985.
1 Basis of preparation
The financial information in this announcement has been prepared on the basis of
the accounting policies as set out in the financial statements for the year
ended 30 April 2004. The 2004 statutory accounts have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies and the auditor's report on those accounts was
unqualified.
2 Compliance with accounting standards
The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the Companies
Act 1985 and applicable United Kingdom accounting standards.
The directors have, in accordance with sections 226 and 227 of the
Companies Act 1985, departed from the standard format of the profit and loss
account in presenting the financial statements. Profits and losses on disposals
of fixed asset investments, and provisions for diminution in value of fixed
asset investments are included in 'Other operating income' within operating
profit as these represent a return from a principal class of business activity.
Other material disposals that are not part of the main business activities are
shown below operating profit in accordance with the Companies Act 1985 and FRS3
- Reporting Financial Performance. Examples of such material disposals include
fixed assets, such as property, or current asset investments, such as listed
shares held for disposal in the short term.
3 Tax
The Group is eligible for and takes advantage of the substantial shareholdings
relief UK corporation tax exemption. This results in the gain from any
disposals of UK investments where the Group has an equity stake greater than
10%, and subject to certain other tests, being free of corporation tax.
Tax is therefore based on the net of profits in the Consulting and
Management businesses as relieved by losses incurred in the establishment and
development of new ventures.
4 Earnings per share
The basic and fully diluted earnings per share is calculated on an
after tax loss of £2.32 million (2004: profit £2.29 million).
The basic earnings per share is based on 16,697,500 weighted average
ordinary 10p shares (2004: 11,209,904). Share options are non-dilutive for the
year because of the loss. The fully diluted earnings per share is based on
16,697,500 weighted average ordinary 10p shares (2004: 11,775,197).
