Chief Executive's Review

Following our successful admission to AIM on 21 June 2007, I am pleased to
report the Group's first set of interim results as a public company.


Financial Review

From our IPO we raised #30,450,000 net new money (after advisor fees) - which
gives us a healthy cash and net assets position at 30 June 2007.

Following the IPO we repaid, in full, the loan of #5,478,000 from our parent
company (MGT Capital Investments, Inc), and terminated by mutual agreement, the
credit facility that we had in place from Asia IT Capital Investments Ltd.

At 30 June 2007 we had #27,928,000 of cash and #27,625,000 of net assets. We
have invested our surplus cash in short term cash deposits.

In the period ended 30 June 2007 we spent a total of #3,566,000 on operating
costs (#3,155,000 for the period ended 30 June 2006) - which is in line with
Company expectations.


Strategy

We have an aggressive strategy in place to increase sales and maximise
shareholder return. We aim to sign new distribution agreements for our ColonCAD
(TM) and LungCAD(TM) products and to drive the use and distribution of existing
products. We have also developed new revenue opportunities with our online 'pay
per use' model. In order to maintain our leading position, we will continue to
invest in new technology and will roll out additional product improvements.


Commercial Partnerships

In accordance with our strategy, we distribute our products through commercial
partnerships with leading 3D visualisation companies and medical equipment
manufacturers. We recently reinforced our global distribution capability and
relationships with key partners and currently have global distribution
agreements in place with Vital Images, Inc., Barco N.V., TeraRecon, Inc.,
Viatronix, Inc. and 3mensio Medical Imaging BV.

Barco is a leading provider of enterprise-wide 3D advanced visualisation
solutions. Our relationship will enable Medicsight's ColonCAD(TM) to be
distributed with Barco's 3D visualisation products and through the Picture
Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) offered by Barco's partners.

These contracts will enable Medicsight and its partners to accelerate the
penetration of the growing CAD market.  Through these channel partners alone
there is a total potential installed base of over 7,500 workstations.

We anticipate completing additional distribution contracts in 2007 that will
give us access to a further 15,000 workstations.

Medicsight estimates the global installed base opportunity is 25,000 MDCT
scanners. Furthermore there are a further 35,000 single detector CT scanners
which it would be reasonable to expect could be upgraded to MDCT scanners after
five years of use.


Regulatory Update

The Company's regulatory applications are progressing as planned.  In the period
ending 30 June 2007, we secured the following regulatory approvals for our
products:

  * On 30 January 2007, we were granted Medical Device Licenses from the 
    Therapeutic Products Directorate of Health Canada for our ColonCAD(TM) API 
    Version 3 and our LungCAD(TM) API Version 3 applications.
  * On 4 June 2007, our MedicRead Colon 1.0 and ColonCAD(TM) API 3.2 applications 
    were CE marked.

  * On 5 July 2007, we were granted Medical Device Licenses from the Therapeutic 
    Products Directorate of Health Canada to allow us to begin marketing and 
    selling MedicRead Colon 1.0 in Canada.

Our regulatory approval applications in the USA, China, Japan, Australia and
Brazil are on schedule.


Prospects

The Group is in a strong position to take advantage of the health imaging market
and expects to deliver strong growth in both existing and new markets following
approvals.

The loss per share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue during the year.  The Company has recorded a loss in all periods.  No
adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share, as the exercise of the
share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share and
is anti- dilutive.

Options are fair valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No
performance conditions were included in the fair value calculations. The
following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
stock options granted in the period:


Dividend yield                                                     Nil
Expected volatility                                             60% to 65%
Risk free rates                                               4.65% to 5.25%


Expected volatility is based on historical volatility over the last three years
of MGT Capital Investments, Inc (the parent company).  The expected life is the
average expected period to exercise (usually the vesting period).  The risk free
rate of return is the yield on zero-coupon UK government bonds of a term
consistent with the assumed option life.

In the period ending 30 June 2007 the Company recorded a share option charge of
#478,000 (December 2006: #291,000).
