                        Intermediate Capital Group PLC:

     Strong financial performance in the six month period to 31 March 2007



Since the announcement of the first half results in November last year the level
of realised gains has been higher than we had expected. We now believe that
capital gains in the second half will be at least as great as those in the
first.


Our core income continues to grow at a satisfactory rate as does our loan book
despite continued competition and price pressure in the mezzanine market.
Accordingly it is anticipated that profits for the full year will be somewhat
higher than current market expectations.
