                                 AGM Statement


Sports Cafe, the owner and operator of the Sports Cafe chain of leading licensed
Sports Entertainment Venues, held their AGM today and Chris Akers, Deputy
Chairman, made the following comments on current trading:

'Following the difficult trading conditions during the second half of 2006, the
initial months of 2007 have, as announced in the Annual Report, been a period of
consolidation of the business on a reduced operating cost base with significant
change in both strategic direction and operating focus. Whilst total sales
during the first quarter of the year were at a similar level to 2006, the cost
reduction exercise undertaken at the end of 2006 was reflected in both our gross
margins and operating cost base during the first quarter.

In common with many high street businesses, April trading was impacted by the
unseasonably warm weather. However, trading during May, with its strong sporting
calendar, has shown improved figures in the month to date. The Rugby World Cup
and an increased level of televised premiership football from August are
expected to provide the basis for a strong second half to the year.

As detailed in the Annual Report, the Board has revised its strategy and, led by
the new Chief Executive, Peter Marks, looks forward to the expansion of the
Company's business through both organic and acquisitive growth.'
