Chairman's Statement
Interim Financial Results for the period ended 30th November 2004
The Company is pleased to report its unaudited financial results for the period
from incorporation on 27th May 2004 to 30th November 2004.
For the period ending 30th November 2004 the Company recorded a loss on ordinary
activities of £59,000 before taxation. This reflects the costs of the Company's
initial admission to trading on AIM and the fact that the Company is a 'shell'
with no trading business.
Since the Company's admission to trading on AIM on 4th August 2004, and in line
with CNOP's investment strategy, your board is searching actively for suitable
acquisitions and an announcement will be made when this objective is achieved.

Catalyst New Opportunities PLC
Independent review report to Catalyst New Opportunities PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for
the period from incorporation on 27 May 2004 to 30 November 2004 which comprises
a profit and loss account, balance sheet, cash flow statement and associated
notes numbered 1 to 7. We have read the other information contained in the
interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the financial information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report and for ensuring that the
accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures are
consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except
where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review
consists principally of making enquiries of management and applying analytical
procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and based
thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been
consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit
procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and
transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in
accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower
level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the period ended 30
November 2004.
