                                Worldsec Limited

              Interim Report for the six months ended 30 June 2007


The Directors submit the interim report on Worldsec Limited (the 'Company') and 
its subsidiaries (collectively known as the 'Group' for the six months ended 
30 June 2007 (the 'Period').

For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group incurred a net loss of
US$114,000. This compares to the net loss of US$1,166,000 for the corresponding
period in the previous year which included the realization of US$1,033,000
(being a one time charge) standing on the Group's currency translation
reserve to the income statements. The small improvement in lower operating loss
of US$19,000 in the first half of this year as compared to the previous
corresponding period arose largely from a reduction in manpower expenses. At the
end of 30 June 2007, Group shareholders' funds stood at US$2.07 million
as compared to US$2.18 million at the end of December 2006.

The Board continues to explore opportunities in the securities and financial
services business. Shareholders will be informed as soon as such investment
opportunity eventuates.

                                        By order of the Board

2    ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current period, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised

Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC') of the IASB that are
relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2007. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and
Interpretations has no significant impact on the financial statements of the
Group.

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following
Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:

IAS 23 (revised)                     Borrowing costs 1
IFRS 8                               Operating segments 1

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007

Save as disclosed above, the accounting policies adopted in preparing this
report are consistent with those adopted in preparing the consolidated financial
statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2006.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards. It has been prepared on a basis other than that
of a going concern which includes, where appropriate, writing down the Company's 
assets to net realizable value.  Provision has also been made for any
onerous contractual commitments at the balance sheet date.  The financial
statements do not include any provision for the future costs of terminating the
business of the Company except to the extent that such costs were committed at
the balance sheet date.  Accordingly, all assets are classified as current
assets.

The Group's financial statements consolidate the financial statements of
the Company and the subsidiary undertakings included in the Group.

The results of subsidiaries disposed of during the periods/year are included in
the consolidated income statement up to the effective dates of disposal.
     
4    BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS
