9999 Plc
INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
When the Company was admitted to AIM in March of this year its stated strategy
was to seek investments in specific areas of the financial services sector,
namely:
• financial trading entities using technical and fundamental principles
to trade in the equity markets, currencies and equity future markets
in the UK and US;
• stockbrokers, either quoted or unquoted; and
• certain sectors within the independent financial advisory arena.
Since coming to the market the Board has been, and is continuing to seek and
identify investments in the sectors noted above
The Company's cash balances at 30 June 2005, after settling the costs of the
placing and admission to AIM, were £219,472. The Company's very low level of
overhead expenditure means that cash levels have not reduced significantly since
that date. The Directors have placed the Company's free cash balances on
interest bearing deposit account with its bankers pending identification of an
appropriate investment opportunity.
I look forward to updating you further on our progress.

NOTES:
1. Basis of preparation
The interim financial report for the period from incorporation on 8 March 2005
to 30 June 2005 was approved by the Board of 9999 Plc ('the Company') on 28
September 2005. The interim financial report has not been audited and does not
constitute statutory financial statements for the purposes of section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985. The interim financial report has been prepared using
accounting policies consistent with those used in preparing the non-statutory
financial information on the Company included in the Company's AIM admission
document dated 29 March 2005.
The Company has not previously been required to prepare or file audited
statutory financial statements. The financial information in respect of the
period ended 30 June 2005 has been derived from the unaudited management
information for the Company in relation to the period then ended. The Company's
first statutory accounting period for which audited financial statements will be
prepared will be the year ending 31 March 2006.
2. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated on the basis of the net loss attributable to
ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue
during the period ended 30 June 2005 of 45,000,000.
Diluted loss per share represents basic loss per share after allowing for the
dilutive effect of the conversion into ordinary shares of the weighted average

issue used to calculate the diluted earnings per share in the period ended 30
