Final Results

Highway Capital PLC 28 June 2006 HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2006 Chairman's Statement The results for the twelve months ended 28 February 2006 show a loss before tax of £57,127 (2005: £57,748 loss). The company had cash at bank and in hand of £590,641 at the balance sheet date. At this time we do not consider it appropriate to declare a dividend. During the year the company has continued to keep expenditure to a minimum in order to preserve cash resources. The non-executive directors continue, for the time being, to waive the majority of their fees. In the interim statement, I informed shareholders that target companies continue to be identified and evaluated as the board seeks opportunities to maximize the value of the company, unfortunately none of these has proved suitable. Discussions are taking place with two possible targets as your board continues to seek opportunities to maximize the value of the company.

The company does not prepare consolidated accounts and the directors have therefore continued to prepare its accounts in accordance with UK rather than international accounting standards, as permitted under EC Regulation 1606/2002. The financial information set out above does not comprise statutory accounts for the purpose of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The information for the year ended 28 February 2005 has been extracted from the statutory accounts which carried an unqualified audit report and did not contain any statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for the year ended 28 February 2005 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors are expected to give an unqualified opinion on the accounts for the year ended 28 February 2006. The statutory accounts for the year ended 28 February 2006 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Annual General Meeting. Loss per share: The loss per ordinary share calculation has been based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of £57,127 (2005: £57,748 loss) divided by 7,945,638 (2005: 7,945,638), being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. The basic and diluted loss per ordinary share figures are the same. 28 June 2006 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange DPAB
