                           Caplay PLC ("the Company")

                   Shareholding in Private Treaty Systems Inc

In August and September 2004, Caplay made convertible loans for a total of #1m
in Private Treaty Market PLC, which is now part of Private Trading Systems Inc
("PTS"). PTS is a publicly traded securities trading platform that provides an
order book matching system, same day settlement and account management
facilities.

Caplay has now entered into an agreement with Terry Ramsden, a shareholder in
PTS, whereby the loans have been released in exchange for 4,375,000 shares in
PTS which have been received by the Company. In the last three months, the
shares of PTS have traded on the OTC market at between US$0.60 and US1.10. PTS
announced on 26 July 2005 that it intends to file for an American Exchange
(AMEX) listing in the near future.

Caplay has also agreed to replace an option it held over 5% of PTS, exercisable
in the event of a flotation or trade sale of PTS, with an option over 18,700,000
shares in PTS held by Mr Ramsden (approximately 5% of the ordinary share capital
of PTS) which is exercisable for a period of one year from 2nd August 2005 at a
price of US$0.40 per share. As part, and for the duration, of this agreement Mr
Ramsden has an option to callback 50% of the granted option at a price of
US$1.40. The underlying shares are being held to the Company's order with a firm
of solicitors.

As a consequence of these agreements, Caplay now holds, or has options over,
23,075,000 shares in PTS.

On 26 July 2005, the Company announced that an option had been granted to Mr
Ramsden, subject to certain conditions being met. These conditions have
now been met, and the option agreement is now in place.
