As reported in the Chairman's statement, the Group has had a challenging year and this, coupled with a change in strategic focus and market conditions, has resulted in the impairment of a number of the Group's assets and a loss for the period of GBP19,923,000. Whilst the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of GBP15,807,000 is non cash, it is illustrative of the difficult market the Group is operating in and the resultant pressure on cash flows. In light of these events, the directors have prepared cashflow forecasts for the period ending 31 January 2012 which are aligned to the Group's revised strategy. The forecasts take account of the revenues from the launch of online games in China which are expected to generate significant revenues going forward in a growing market. The forecasts also take account of cost reduction measures that have been implemented in the business. Management will take further steps to reduce the overhead base should this be required to meet the working capital and cash flow requirements of the group.

The forecasts, which have been sensitised to reflect the uncertain market within which the Group operates, demonstrate that the Group has adequate resources to continue to fund it's working capital and cash flow requirements for the foreseeable future.

On this basis the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the assumptions detailed above are not met.
