Regenesis Group plc
("Regenesis" or "the Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2007
Chairman's Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to present the 2007 interim report for the six month period ended
30 June 2007.
Results
The loss on ordinary activities for the interim period amounted to �336,000,
much of which relates to arranging and implementing the change in the Company's
investment strategy. The loss per share is 0.57 pence and no dividend is
recommended.
Background
On 2 April 2007, shareholders approved a change in the Company's investment
strategy to that of providing short-term asset finance, including short-term
real estate finance. The Company also changed its name from Poly Information
plc to Regenesis Group plc.
Operations
I am pleased to report that the Company made its first loan in May 2007 at a
highly profitable gross margin. This has been funded from the Company's own
cash resources and an unsecured loan of �250,000 made by me to the Company.
A substantial proportion of the Company's expenses for the period related to
the fees associated with the issue of the admission document and the on-going
costs of being a quoted company. In order to conserve cash, each of the
Directors has accepted a halving of their salary pending the business becoming
firmly established, in order to assist the Company's performance. However, each
Director is later entitled to an annual bonus which is equal to his varied
director's fee or salary subject to and conditional upon the Company having
sufficient cash to pay the bonus having regard to the working capital
requirements of the Company.
Trading Update
I am pleased to report that since the half-year end, the company's loan book
has continued to perform, and that additional loan facilities to customers have
been agreed, taking the aggregate book exposure to in excess of �2m. The
Group's senior facilities with Yorkshire Bank continue to be available despite
a more difficult lending backdrop. The company's total lending capacity is now
almost at 100 per cent and we are examining our options to provide further
capital to the Group to facilitate our continued expansion.
Prior to re-admission, AIM Regulation advised the Company that it had to meet
certain requirements in order to demonstrate that it had substantially
implemented its new strategy during the first six months following the
re-admission of its shares to AIM. The directors believe that they have met the
requirements, but unless AIM Regulation confirms this by 15 October 2007, the
Company's shares will be suspended from trading on AIM until AIM Regulation is
satisfied that the requirements have been met.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 June 2007
1. Corporate Information
This interim financial information, which was approved by the Board of
Directors on 11 September 2007, does not constitute statutory accounts within
the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The financial information
presented in this document is unaudited.
Regenesis Group plc is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in England
whose shares are publicly quoted and traded on AIM and traded on PLUS Markets.
2. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies
This interim report for the six months to 30 June 2007 is the first interim
report under IFRS and the first Annual Report under IFRS will be the Annual
Report and Accounts for the year to 31 December 2007. The interim report is
unaudited and has been prepared on the basis of accounting policies set out in
the accounts for the year to 31 December 2006 amended where necessary to comply
with IFRS. There are no material differences to the principal accounting
policies arising from the adoption of IFRS and accordingly the differences
relate to presentation only. New accounting policies are disclosed below:
a. Turnover represents interest on loans and advances to customers, which
accrues on a monthly basis (or part thereof) according to the balance on
the account and is credited to income in the period to which it relates.
The figures shown for the year to 31 December 2006 are based on the Company's
statutory accounts for that period, restated for IFRS, though as noted above
there are no material changes from this restatement. The statutory accounts,
which were prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("UK
GAAP"), received an unqualified audit report and have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies.
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and
should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as
at 31 December 2006.
The figures shown for the period to 30 June 2006 and 31 December 2006 are for
the Company only as no subsidiary was owned at either balance sheet date. The
figures shown for the period to 30 June 2006 are re-stated to reflect this as
they had previously been presented in consolidated form.

Given the loss for the year, no fully diluted loss per ordinary share is
disclosed. The deferred shares have not been included in the loss per share
calculation as they have no voting rights and have negligible rights as to
dividends and on a return of capital. The weighted average number of shares for
the period ended 30 June 2006 and 31 December 2006 has been restated to reflect
the share consolidation carried out in April 2007.
4. Dividends
No dividends have been declared for the six months ended 30 June 2007.
