  *  The French Courts in Belfort signed on the 7 July 2009 the approval of Nipson 
  SAS's, the French subsidiary, restructuring plan along the lines of the project 
  agreed with Creacorp NV("Creacorp"), the controlling shareholder of the Group 
  since 14 October 2008; 
  *  On the 26 June 2009, of the total amount owed by Nipson SAS (the French 
  Subsidiary) to Creacorp  of EUR 14,531,377, Creacorp capitalised EUR874,280 (approx 
  6%) and waived the remaining EUR13,667,097 (approx 94%).  The waiver of these 
  loans results in an exceptional profit of EUR 13,667,097; 
  *  For the first six months, and compared to the same period of 2008, recurrent 
  revenues increased by 5%; however, equipment revenues decreased by 38%. 
 
Marc Maes, Nipson's Chairman commented: "The positive result comes essentially 
from the waiver of loans by Creacorp.  This result does not reflect the 
underlying operational result.  The turnaround process shows some positive 
elements, but the Group still faces operational losses and severe cash 
pressures, which along with the unpredictable sales continue to make its 
continuity uncertain.  In addition, the Board of Nipson is holding negotiations 
with Roseman, Polar and Creacorp in order to come to long term solutions for the 
outstanding loans and open issues and to avoid an insolvency situation. 
 Finally, the cash support from Nipson SAS to Nipson can only be limited, 
since Nipson SAS is still supervised by the court administration in Belfort and 
under these arrangements cash has to be retained in the subsidiary for repayment 
of the debts related to the Redressement Judiciaire."

  CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
Overview 
The French Courts in Belfort signed on the 7 July 2009 the approval of Nipson 
SAS's, the French subsidiary, restructuring plan along the lines of the project 
agreed with Creacorp, but the operations are still loss making. 
The positive result comes essentially from the waiver of loans by Creacorp. 
 This result does not reflect the underlying operational result. 
The operating loss of almost GBP0.2m, incurred in the first half of 2009 was in 
line with our expectations despite the lower equipment sales, and the 
reorganisation costs. 
Other announcements were made recently concerning the tight cash situation of 
Nipson and the French subsidiary. The negative result impacted the Group's cash 
position. 
In the current market and economic circumstances, it is very difficult to 
predict as to how sales will evolve. 
The turnaround process shows some positive elements, but the Group still faces 
operational losses and severe cash pressures which, along with unpredictable 
sales, continue to make its continuity uncertain. 
Despite the difficult situation, the Group is continuing to produce machines, 
spare parts and consumables and continuing to provide a maintenance service to 
customers either directly or via its agreed distributors. 
Reference is made to the announcement of 18 September 2009. Management of Nipson 
has meanwhile had meetings with Roseman, Polar and Creacorp.  All parties 
concerned want to avoid insolvency if at all possible and have agreed to 
arrangements which allow Nipson to continue its operations in the short term. 
Discussions are continuing between the parties to try to arrive at a longer term 
solution.  Polar, Roseman and Creacorp agreed to continue this dialogue, and 
will inform the Board of Directors as to the outcome on Wednesday 30 September 
2009.  The Board has arranged for a further Board meeting on 1 October 2009. 
Nipson is constrained by lack of cash resources which therefore has implications 
for it as a going concern.  Nipson has only limited access to cash from its 
subsidiary Nipson SAS, as Nipson SAS is still supervised by the court 
administration in Belfort. Under these arrangements cash has to be retained in 
the subsidiary for repayment of the debts related to the Redressement 
Judiciaire. 
Nipson received a default judgement with regard to a contractual issue with the 
former CEO. Nipson is preparing an application to the court. 
Revenue and Operating Results 
Revenue for the six months to 30 June 2009 was GBP13.2m, a decrease of 6.9% over 
the same period last year. The decrease came essentially from lower sales of new 
equipment. 
Equipment sales, at GBP2.5m for the six months, showed a decrease of 38% over 
the comparative period. 
Recurrent revenues for the six months to 30 June 2009 were GBP10.8m, an increase 
of 5% as compared to the same period last year. The Group's recurrent revenue 
continues to grow. 
Gross profit for the six months to 30 June 2009 was GBP2.7m, 10% higher than the 
comparative period last year. The margin made on equipment sales and recurrent 
revenues improved as a result of the decrease in production costs following the 
restructuring plan, and helped by the margin made on equipment sales especially 
in the Middle East area.Gross margins are still suffering from the adverse US 
Dollar exchange rate, which remains weak against the Euro. 
The operating result for the six months to 30 June 2009 showed a profit of 
GBP11.9m against a loss of GBP2.1m for the corresponding period in 2008.  This 
result includes the profit from the loans waived by Creacorp of EUR13.7m in June 
2009.  Operating expenses at GBP4.8m (2008: GBP4.5m) were higher mainly due to 
fees supported by the French Subsidiary for the administration and legal costs 
of the "Redressement Judiciaire", also no R&D costs were capitalised during the 
first half year of 2009. 
The costs of Research & Development for the first six months of 2009 were 
GBP1.8m (against GBP1.9m in the first 6 months of 2008) of which none were 
capitalised (first 6 months of 2008: GBP0.8m capitalised).  No R&D costs were 
capitalised in the first 6 months as management considered those projects to 
support existing business and would not create additional future positive cash 
flow streams. 
The net profit for the first six months was GBP12.3m (2008: net loss of 
GBP3.0m). Other than the improvement of the gross profit and loans waived by 
Creacorp, the finance costs are lower in 2009 mainly due to less interest on 
loans, and less use of financing facilities (bank overdraft and factoring). 
As at 30 June 2009 cash balances were GBP1.1m (GBP2.1m at 31 December 2008).The 
inventory level of GBP8.2m decreased compared to GBP12.3m at 30 June 2008 but 
remained stable in local currency compared to 31 December 2008.  The level of 
trade and other receivables decreased to GBP6.0m (GBP7.4m at 31 December 2008 
and GBP8.3m at 30 June 2008).  The level of trade and other payables decreased 
to GBP15.1m compared to GBP17.2m at 31 December 2008.  The trade and other 
payables also include the debt due by the French Subsidiary to the social 
security and certain amounts due to employees of the French Subsidiary as part 
of the restructuring plan.  This debt has to be repaid over a 3 years period. 
Comments on the valuation of the Loan Notes for D Roseman Nipson Limited 
Partnership ("Roseman") and for Polar Communications LTD ("Polar") are detailed 
in Note 4 to the accounts.  As at 30 June 2009, the total amount owing to the 
Polar for loans was GBP1.9m. 
The results announcement makes reference for the first time to Minority 
Interests. This follows the conversion by Creacorp, as previously announced, of 
part of the debt owed to it by Nipson SAS into shares of Nipson SAS. As such 
Nipson now holds approximately 52.3% of Nipson SAS and Creacorp holds the 
remaining 47.7%.

NOTES 
 
 
1.  Basis of Preparation of Interim Report 
The information for the interim accounts for the six month period ended 30 June 
2009 has neither been audited or reviewed by the auditors, and does not 
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 
1985 (section 435 of the Companies Act 2006). The figures and financial 
information for the year ended 31 December 2008 do not constitute financial 
statements for that year. Those financial statements have been delivered to the 
Registrar and included an audit report which was unqualified, contained no 
statements under either section 237(2) or (3) of the 1985 Act (section 498(2) or 
(3) of the 2006 act). The audit report in those financial statements ended 
31 December 2008 did however contain the following emphasis of matter: 
"In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not qualified, we 
have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 23 to the 
consolidated financial concerning the Group's ability to continue as a going 
concern which is reliant on support of the ultimately controlling party Creacorp 
N.V. This support, which includes agreements to write off certain loans and 
provide further finance, is contingent on successful completion of the 
Redressement Judiciaire process for Nipson SAS in France, for which a decision 
is not expected until 23 June 2009. These conditions indicate a material 
uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to 
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the 
adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going 
concern."

2.  Profit/(Loss) per Share 
The Profit/(Loss) per Ordinary Share is calculated on the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of 52,303,581 (2008: 
52,303,581).In the period the basic and diluted EPS have been taken to be the 
same. 
3. Accounting Policies 
The interim results have been prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting 
rules.  With the exception of the adoption here of IAS1, the Accounting Policies 
used in the preparation of these results were the accounting policies used in 
the preparation of the results for the year ended 31 December 2008 and detailed 
in the notes to those results (see Annual Report 2008 issued 8 June 2009). 
4.  Equity Portion of Convertible Loan Notes 
The fair value of the liability component and the value of the equity component 
of the Roseman and Creacorp convertible loan notes, were determined at the same 
time as the issue of the notes; calculated using a market interest rate based 
upon equity venture capital loans at a rate of 20%.
