The transition to IFRS has had no effect on the profit, net liabilities and cash flow previously reported under UK GAAP. The only changes that have been made are presentational. The comparative figures for the year ended 31 January 2007 and the six months ended 31 July 2006 have been restated for the adoption of IFRS. The comparative figures for the year ended 31 January 2007 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. The Company's statutory accounts for the year ended 31 January 2007, prepared under UK GAAP, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies; the report of the auditors on these accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The interim financial information has not been audited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The financial information for the six months ended 31 July 2007 has been prepared in accordance with the Company's accounting policies, based on IFRS that are expected to apply for the year ending 31 January 2008. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS that the Company expects to apply in the full year IFRS financial statements for 31 January 2008. 2 Accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated. Revenue Revenue represents income receivable from professional footballers and professional football clubs for services rendered. Trade and other receivables These are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amount. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Financial liabilities The Company's financial liabilities comprise trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognised at fair value. After initial recognition, such financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost. Taxation and deferred tax Taxation expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the period using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Taxable profit differs from the net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised of the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Share-based payments The Company makes equity-settled share-based payments to its employees and Directors. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. At each balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The value of any shares or options granted is charged to the profit and loss account over the period the shares vest, with a corresponding credit to reserves. When share options are exercised, the proceeds received, net of any transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium. 3 Loss per share The earnings and number of shares used in the calculation of earnings per ordinary share are set out below. Six months ended Six months ended Year ended 31 July 31 July 31 January 2007 2006 2007 (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) Basic: Profit for the financial period 4,000 15,000 50,000 Weighted average number of shares 69,905,845 65,718,000 65,718,000 Loss per share 0.01p 0.03p 0.08p 4 Taxation There is no provision for UK Corporation Tax due to tax losses brought forward, subject to agreement with HM Revenue and Customs. The deferred asset at 31 July 2007 arising from the accumulated tax losses of approximately £2.1 million (30 July 2006 - £2.1 million; 31 January 2007 - £2.1 million) carried forward has not been recognised but would become recoverable against future trading profits. 5 Dividend The directors are not able to declare a dividend in respect of the period due to the Company having no distributable reserves (2006 - £nil). 6 Additional information Copies of this report may be obtained from the Company's registered office, Stonebridge House, Chelmsford Road, Hatfield Heath, Essex CM22 7BD.
