("Regenesis" or "the Company")
Half-yearly results for the six months ended 30 June 2008
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to provide the Company's unaudited interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2008.
Introduction
This period represented the onset of the widely reported credit crunch, during
which time the level of enquiries for new lending was high for both the
industry and for the group. During the period under review, the Company did not
aggressively pursue it's internal targets due to the deteriorating economic
backdrop and consequently, , the group's loan portfolio performed below
expectations.
Financial Performance
Group turnover (i.e. interest receivable from the loan portfolio) for the six
months ended 30 June 2008 was �117,000 and resulting gross profit was �88,000.
After operating costs, the group loss before taxation was �24,000 (2007: �
336,000) representing a loss per share of 0.04p (2007: loss 0.57p). Net assets
as at 30 June 2008 stood at �357,000. The Directors are not declaring an
interim dividend for the period.
Outlook
Since the period end, the Directors have reflected on the disproportionate
level of central and plc overhead versus the capital available to the Company
and had proposed to shareholders a de-listing of the group's shares to
rebalance the group's expense ratios more appropriately.
After the circular containing the notice of general meeting was circulated to
Shareholders, the Company received an approach to inject further funds into the
Company, conditional upon the Company remaining on the AIM Market. On 29 August
2008, the Company announced that it had placed 12.5 million shares with
Merchant Corporate Limited ("Merchant Corporate") at a price of 0.5p per share.
Merchant Corporate agreed to advance in convertible loan of �60,000 and a
further �127,500 once two individuals, nominated by Merchant Corporate and
acceptable to the Board, are appointed directors of the Company.
Further since the period end, John Barnacle has retired from the board, leaving
the group with a legacy of first class systems and professional relationships
which the group will use as a platform for the continued development of the
business and I thank John for devoting his time to the group most recently.
Whilst trading remains challenging in the current market, I am confident that
our ability to develop and adapt our strategy whilst largely protecting our
capital base will ultimately reward shareholders.

they have no voting rights and have negligible rights as to dividends and on a
return of capital.
4 BORROWINGS
During the period the group entered into a short-term loan with one of its
directors, J D Barnacle, for an amount of �10,000. The loan, which was repaid
in May 2008, accrued interest at the rate of 1.25 per cent. per month or part
thereof, was unsecured and had no fixed repayment term. The proceeds were used
to underwrite a short-term asset-backed loan to one of the Group's customers.
During the period the group's facility agreement with Yorkshire Bank plc for
the provision of a lending facility of up to �8,000,000 for the purpose of
advancing individual short-term bridging finance loans to customers of the
group was scheduled for review. In proposing renewal terms, the Company's
bankers have tightened the conditions and covenants that were contained in the
original facilities. The Directors have examined these carefully and reached
the conclusion that they will constrain the ability of the Company to undertake
new business and were unlikely to be varied significantly by negotiation. The
offer of renewal was therefore declined. The Directors intend to repay the
group's existing bank loans on redemption of the current loan book.
