Chief Executive Officer's Statement
I am pleased to announce interim results for PCG Entertainment plc ("PCGE") that include revenue generated from our recent acquisition of Center Point Development Corporation ("CPDC"). This business was acquired with an effective acquisition date of 16 June 2015, and the results since that date have been consolidated in accordance with IFRS 3. The transaction was the subject of an announcement on 11 August 2015 and was approved by resolution by the shareholders at a general meeting. On 28 August 2015, the enlarged share capital was admitted to AIM.
Revenue of US$745,220 was earned between 16 June 2015 and 30 June 2015. This generated a gross profit of US$256,714 which, after expenses, nets to US$221,086. PCGE anticipate ongoing revenues from CPDC, and look forward to these revenues being reflected in our year-end results.
It has been an active year with PCGE listing on AIM less than a year ago in December 2014, a temporary suspension under Rule 14 of AIM Rules in February 2015 and then readmission in August 2015 following the reverse takeover of CPDC.
Interim Results' Highlights include:
1. Group cash balances at 30 June 2015 of US$719,617 (2014: US$538,420)
2. The loss for the Group is US$2,482,669 (2014: US$114,802) after charging readmission costs of US$1,176,000
3. The CPDC acquisition although completed in August 2015 has been accounted for under IFRS 3 from 16 June 2015, the date of acquisition agreed in the Sale and Purchase Agreement
4. Revenue of US$745,220 was earned and gross profits have been earned by the CPDC acquisition from 16 June 2015 to 30 June 2015 of US$256,714 which after expenses nets to US$221,086
In line with PCGE's stated strategy, the Company is focused on the development of business in the media and gaming industry across the Asia-Pacific region. We aim to continue growth through further acquisition and exploitation of our licenses in China, and the acquisition of CPDC represents a transformational first step in the process.
The media and gaming sectors are among the fastest growing in China. McKinsey calculated that China's online gaming market, valued at US$18bn in 2014, will grow substantially to over US$22bn over the coming year. PCGE offers safe, transparent exposure to this sector for western investors.

Basic loss per share have been calculated by dividing the net results attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period as disclosed in note 12. Due to the Group being loss making, the warrants and convertible loan notes are anti-dilutive.
4 Goodwill impairment
Pursuant to a supplemental agreement with the vendors of PCG Entertainment Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, on 10 October 2014 the Company allotted 105,091,436 ordinary shares at a premium of £0.029 per ordinary share, being US$ 5,242,460. These shares were initially recorded as goodwill and immediately written off to the statement of comprehensive income.
5 Readmission costs
Further to negotiations relating to the acquisition of CPDC as per note 6, under AIM rule 14 this acquisition is classified as a reverse takeover since the turnover of CPDC exceeds that of the Group. Consequently the ordinary shares of the Company were suspended on 13 February 2015. The Company proposed to apply for the readmission of the enlarged share capital (note 17) to trading on AIM. These shares were readmitted on 28 August 2015 and costs in relation to the readmission amounted to US$1,176,000.
6 Acquisition of CPDC
In January 2015, the Group commenced negotiations to acquire Center Point Development Corp ("CPDC"), a Belize-registered distributor of online games management software from Kolarmy Technology Ventures Inc. The Group acquired a call option in February 2015 to acquire CPDC at a price of up to US$20,000,000. The option is capable of being exercised in cash or through the issue of ordinary shares of the Company. The option price of US$410,000 was paid.
The Company acquired the entire issued share capital of CPDC for an initial consideration of US$10,000,000 less the option price paid which is to be satisfied by the issue of initial consideration shares of 114,811,491 together with a contingent consideration arrangement. The net assets on acquisition of CDPC was based on the net assets of US$18,264,000 as at 16 June 2015 which equates to the total consideration transferred, therefore no goodwill arising.
The fair value of the 114,811,491 ordinary shares issued as part of the consideration paid for CPDC (US$10,000,000) was measured using the closing market price of the Company's ordinary shares on the acquisition date.
The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay the former owners of CPDC up to a maximum amount of US$10,000,000 (undiscounted) based on the net profit of CPDC for the period 1 June 2015 to 31 May 2017. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Company could be required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement is between US$0 and US$10,000,000.
The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of US$10,000,000 was estimated by applying the income approach. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement refers to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include a discount rate range of 10 per cent and assumed probability-adjusted net profits in CPDC of US$29,136,000.
As of 30 June 2015, neither the amount recognised for the contingent consideration arrangement, nor the range of outcomes, nor the assumptions used to develop the estimates had changed. The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets of US$18,214,000 is provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for those assets.

The Directors of PCGE are of the opinion that the licences which have been put in place are worth US$3,500,000 and accordingly have recognised an asset in the consolidated financial statements. The Directors consider that the intangible assets have an indefinite useful life and therefore are subject to an annual impairment review.
Management are in the process of conducting an exercise to identify the classes, fair value on acquisition and useful economic lives of intangible assets obtained on acquisition of CPDC. This exercise is expected to be completed for the 2015 year end. For the purposes of preparing these interim financial statements management have estimated there to be one class of intangible asset (Customer relationships), with a value estimated to be the difference between identifiable net assets upon acquisition and consideration of US$18,214,000, with an estimated useful life of five years.

Deferred acquisition consideration represents amounts credited for the contingent consideration arrangement as per note 6, until the consideration shares are issued, when the amounts are taken into share capital and premium.
Included within other payables are amounts payable to Kolarmy Technology Ventures Inc ("Kolarmy") of US$1,590,165. The amount due to Kolarmy relates to a loan note of US$1,000,000 ("the Loan Note") and the remainder relate to short term payables, including the assignment of balances which were repaid on 16 January
2015.
The Loan Note bears interest at 6% and is repayable by 5 May 2016, or any earlier time at the discretion of the Company. A conversion option allows Kolarmy to demand that the Loan Note be settled by the allotment of ordinary shares, based on the average closing price of the Company's shares in the preceding five days of trading prior to the date of Kolarmy's notice to the Company.
