Final Results

Brainspark PLC
29 June 2006










FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                              29 June 2006





                 Brainspark plc ('Brainspark' or the 'Company')


            Preliminary Announcement of results to 31 December 2005.


The results show a loss of £0.9 M compared to a loss of £1.0M for the financial
year to 31 December 2004. The slight improvement is due to some extent to the
reduction in running costs of the Company.


These results are declared after amortisation of goodwill, our share of the
associates losses and amounts written off investments of £794,000 compared with
£1,223,000 in the previous year. The remaining goodwill of £651,000 carried in
the balance sheet will be completely written-off in the current financial year.
These amounts have no impact on group's cash position.


The Year 2005 was a very important milestone for Brainspark, we hope that it
represents a turnaround for the group and confirms the strategy implemented so
far by the Brainspark Board is heading in the right direction.


The cost cutting measures begun in 2002, having further reduced the net
operating expenses to £22,000 per month this year, net of recovery of rent and
charges made to the portfolio companies.


The Board during 2006 will continue to focus on reducing net operating expenses
to below £20,000 per month.


Brainspark's Strengths


Brainspark current strengths include the positive cash balance, significant
unutilised tax losses, management with a track record and capability to identify
attractive investment opportunities focused in the technology sector, an
established network of contacts and relationships to source new potential
targets for investment. Moreover, the company has achieved a major reduction in
operating expenses since inception. Brainspark has two Directors based in Milan
which may result in the procurement of companies for the AIM market. A Director
located in the USA, two in the UK and one in China. As a result of the later the
company has begun to investigate the viability of an IP2IPO model, like those in
China. Our Board Member, based in Beijing is highly instrumental in these types
of projects.


In China, management believes there is extensive scope to secure exciting
projects on very attractive valuation and a viable enterprise can be built
reasonably quickly.


The investment portfolio is in better shape now than it has been for some years.
Easyart made an acquisition at the end of 2005 which has encouraged the
Directors at a time when the market is not easy.


TraderServe has launched its new generation algorithmic trading platform capable
of beating VWAP (the standard equity market benchmark). The platform has
achieved excellent trading results during H1 2006.


The diamond in the Brainspark portfolio is Geosim. The Philadelphia reproduction
on the cover of these accounts is  taken from the library of Geosim and shows
the photorealism achieved by their 3D city modeling technology (for more 
details please visit their web-site www.geosim.co.il). It has moved to the next
step in its evolution, since inception  in 2000. The company develops high-tech
3D city modeling technology and applies it to create high resolution 
photorealistic 3D models of cities. Applications include urban planning and
development, tourism, estate agency, law  enforcement, advertising,
entertainment and the security and rescue services. During 2005 modeling of the
first  American university took place at UPENN in Philadelphia and new US
investors have entered into an investment agreement.


In April 2006, Crash LLC completed their $720,000 (£395,000) investment
commitment in Geosim ($400,000 or £ 218,000 by  31st December 2005) and signed
in June 2006 a new agreement for  assisting  the company to raise a further
$2,000,000  (£1,097,000), the first $720,000 (£395,000 ) of which has been
raised by three US investors at a pre-money valuation  for Geosim of $10,000,000
(£5,482,000). On this basis the current Geosim investment is worth the
equivalent of 0.73p  for each Brainspark share ignoring all other company
assets; if other company assets are included the valuation  increases to 1.22p a
share.


Fortune Cookie, a high level web design company, continues to make encouraging
progress and made a profit for the second consecutive year on revenues above
£1M.


ACS based in Italy, continue to operate in their core businesses of software
development for earth observation satellites, mission planning and management.
In August 2005 Brainspark granted a call option to AISoftware SpA over the
entire issued share capital of its wholly owned subsidiary, Infusion 2002
Limited, which has a holding of 16.2% in ACS. An initial non-refundable amount
of £300,000 was paid by way of a set-off agreement and a further payment of
£1,130,000 is payable on exercise of the Option, which expires on 31st July
2006.


Metapack is planning to launch their new ASP platform in the second half of
2006, which should help the company to reach a larger number of customers.


Brainspark has reached a stage where, because of the above results and current
assets could prove attractive to third parties. Including companies who might
view Brainspark as the ideal vehicle for an AIM reverse, as in the case of
Geosim, if and when their international expansion warrants such.


The Report & Accounts will be posted to all shareholders tomorrow.
