                           UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS                           

                    FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2008                     

This is my third statement as Chairman of Cumberland Place Investments Plc
(PLUS:CPIO) ("CPI" or "the Company") and I am pleased to present the Company's
interim results, for the six months ended 31 March 2008.

The unaudited half year figures show pre-tax losses of (�46,348) which compared
with (�102,176) for the half year to 31 March 2007. There was a write down of
CPI's investments of �19,500. The Company's board has taken a deferred salary
as well as professional advisors in order to conserve cash resources.

In the announcement dated 24 January 2008, the Company announced its intention
to raise up to �400,000 with the issue of a convertible unsecured loan stock
which would enable it to acquire Web TV Enterprise Limited. The board is
working upon this transaction and hopes to report on any progress in due
course.
