Airea PLC 18 March 2008 AIREA plc (the 'Company') 18 March 2008 Interim results The Company is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 31st December 2007. For enquiries, please contact: AIREA PLC 01924 203 742 Kevin Henry - Group Finance Director Brewin Dolphin Investment Banking 0845 270 8610 Andrew Kitchingman Sean Wyndham-Quin OPERATING REVIEW INTRODUCTION In the six months to 31st December 2007 significant progress has been made on a number of major strategic projects. These include the sale of the specialist yarns division, the sale of surplus properties, re-engineering manufacturing of residential carpets and creating a single management team for both commercial and residential products. As a consequence of the disposal of the Sirdar specialist yarns business the company changed its name to AIREA plc in December 2007. The results The results are presented under International Financial Reporting Standards for the first time. There are a number of presentational changes, the most significant of which is the analysis of the results between continuing operations and discontinued operations on the face of the consolidated income statement. Further details of this and the other presentational changes are set out in the notes to the accompanying financial statements. The only significant change to the results reported previously is that goodwill is no longer amortised and the amounts previously amortised since 1st July 2006 have now been reinstated in the consolidated balance sheet. A provision for impairment of the goodwill associated with the subsidiary yarn dyeing business has then been included in the income statement for the current period. Continuing Operations Sales of floor covering products reduced by 1% to Â£25.8m (2006: Â£26.1m) in the period with modest growth in commercial products being offset by a slight decline in residential products. Operating profit was Â£9.0m (2006: Â£0.4m) but the period to 31st December 2007 includes an exceptional profit on sale of property of Â£9.6m (2006: Â£nil). After excluding this exceptional profit, a provision for impairment of goodwill of Â£0.8m (2006: Â£nil) and other exceptional costs of Â£0.3m (2006: Â£0.5m), operating profit before exceptional items was Â£0.5m (2006: Â£0.9m). Earnings per share from continuing operations were 20.80p (2006: loss per share 0.22p) and adjusted earnings per share, excluding the effect of the exceptional profit on sale of property, the related release of deferred tax, the provision for impairment of goodwill and the other exceptional costs, was 0.75p (2006: 0.49p). Discontinued Operations The specialist yarns business was sold on 2nd November 2007. Sales to the date of disposal were Â£5.7m (2006: Â£8.1m). The operating loss was Â£2.3m (2006: profit Â£1.1m) but this includes a loss on disposal of Â£2.7m (2006: Â£nil). After excluding this item, operating profit was Â£0.4m (2006: Â£1.1m). Discontinued operations generated a loss per share of 4.98p (2006: earnings per share 1.22p). Adjusted earnings per share, excluding the effect of the loss on disposal, were 0.79p (2006: 1.22p). Group results Profit for the period was Â£7.3m (2006: Â£0.5m). This includes the exceptional profit on sale of property, the loss on sale of the specialist yarns business and other exceptional items as detailed above. Earnings per share were 15.82p (2006: 1.00p) and adjusted earnings per share, after excluding the effect of the exceptional profit on sale of property, the related release of deferred tax, the provision for impairment of goodwill, the loss on sale of the specialist yarns business and other exceptional costs, were 1.54p (2006: 1.71p). There was a cash outflow from operating activities of Â£4.3m (2006: Â£2.2m inflow), due to a combination of an increase in working capital and increased contributions to the defined benefit pension scheme. As a result of the property disposals and the sale of the specialist yarns division, there was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of Â£7.8m (2006: decrease Â£1.0m). Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to Â£6.3m compared to total net debt at the start of the period of Â£5.2m. The board has declared an interim dividend of 0.80p per share (2006: 0.80p). This dividend is payable on 6th May 2008 to those shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 4th April 2008. Management and personnel Following completion of a number of specific projects, Steve Harrison, the former Chief Operating Officer, left the group on 29th February 2008. A process of recruitment for a managing director is underway and we have appointed an experienced manager to lead the floor coverings business in the interim. The board would like to thank all personnel for their dedication and commitment to the business during this period of change. Current trading and future prospects Like-for-like sales in the early part of 2008 are in line with last year with growth in commercial products compensating for a decline in residential products. The commercial market appears to be growing but the residential market is more challenging due to economic uncertainty and subdued consumer spending. Increased resources are being devoted to new product development and innovation and, combined with a lower cost base, we believe this will lead to improved performance in the future. 18th March 2008 Consolidated Income Statement 6 months ended 31st December 2007 Unaudited Unaudited Unaudited 6 months 6 months year ended ended ended 31st December 31st December 30th June 2007 2006 2007 Note Â£000 Â£000 Â£000 Continuing operations Revenue 25,781 26,138 50,304 Operating costs (26,376) (25,756) (49,672) Exceptional profit on sale of property 9,616 - - Operating profit after exceptional items 9,021 382 632 Analysed between: Operating profit before exceptional items 500 850 1,379 Exceptional operating costs 2 (250) (468) (747) Impairment of goodwill (845) - - Exceptional profit on sale of property 9,616 - - Net interest payable and similar charges (135) (198) (477) Other finance costs - (150) (186) Profit/(loss) before taxation 8,886 34 (31) Taxation 733 (135) (100) Profit/(loss) from continuing operations 9,619 (101) (131) Discontinued operations Revenue 5,694 8,122 15,026 Operating costs (5,322) (7,046) (14,032) Operating profit before exceptional item 372 1,076 994 Loss on disposal of discontinued operation 10 (2,668) - - Operating/(loss) profit (2,296) 1,076 994 Net interest receivable/(payable) and similar charges 166 (39) (50) Other finance costs - (100) (124) (Loss)/profit before taxation (2,130) 937 820 Taxation (174) (373) (219) (Loss)/profit from discontinued operations (2,304) 564 601 Profit for the period 7,315 463 470 Earnings per share Basic and diluted 4 15.82p 1.00p 1.02p Earnings/(loss) per share from continuing activities Basic and diluted 4 20.80p (0.22)p (0.28)p (Loss)/earnings per share from discontinued activities Basic and diluted 4 (4.98)p 1.22p 1.30p There is no difference between the profit before taxation and the profit for the period stated above and their historical cost equivalents.

Accounting Policies Accounting policies adopted under IFRS These interim financial statements have been prepared using the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS'). The basis of preparation and accounting policies used in preparing the interim financial statements for the six months ended 31st December 2007 are set out below. The basis of preparation describes how IFRS have been applied under IFRS 1, the assumptions made by the group about the Standards and Interpretations expected to be effective, and the policies expected to be adopted, when the group issues its first complete set of IFRS financial statements for the year ending 30th June 2008. Basis of preparation The financial information for the six months ended 31st December 2007, six months ended 31st December 2006 and the year ended 30th June 2007 is unreviewed and unaudited and, within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985, such accounts do not constitute full statutory accounts of the group. The accounting policies which follow set out those policies which are expected to apply in preparing the financial statements for the year ending 30th June 2008. These policies have been followed in producing these interim financial statements. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th June 2007 are not the statutory financial statements of AIREA plc for that financial year. Those financial statements, which were prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('UK GAAP'), have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditors was unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. Significant accounting judgements and estimates The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These judgements and estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to prior experience, but actual results may differ from the amounts included in the financial statements. Information about such judgements and estimates is contained in the accounting policies and accompanying notes to the financial statements. Revenue recognition Revenue, for all classes of business, comprises the invoice value, after discounts and customer credits and excluding value added tax, of goods supplied to customers and is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. Transactions between members of the group are excluded. Exceptional items The group seeks to highlight certain items as exceptional operating income or costs. These are considered to be exceptional in size and/or nature rather than indicative of the underlying trading of the group. These may include items such as restructuring costs, material profits or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment and profits or losses on the disposal of subsidiaries. All of these items are charged or credited before calculating operating profit or loss. Material profits or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment and profits or losses on the disposal of subsidiaries are shown as separate items in arriving at operating profit or loss whereas other exceptional items are charged or credited within operating costs and highlighted by analysis. The Directors apply judgement in assessing the particular items, which by virtue of their size and nature are disclosed separately in the income statement and the notes to the financial statements as exceptional items. The Directors believe that the separate disclosure of these items is relevant to understanding the group's financial performance. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of AIREA plc and its subsidiaries. Acquisitions of subsidiaries are dealt with by the acquisition method of accounting. The results of subsidiaries are included from the effective date of their acquisition to the effective date of their sale. Any difference between the fair value of assets acquired and the consideration paid is treated as goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill and business combinations Goodwill results from the acquisition of subsidiary and associated undertakings and equates to the amount by which the consideration for the subsidiary or associated undertaking differs from the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill written off to reserves prior to the date of transition to IFRS has not been reinstated on the balance sheet. This goodwill is not written back to profit or loss on disposal. Impairment testing of goodwill and property, plant and equipment For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the group at which management monitors the related cash flows. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences of a trading nature are dealt with in the income statement. Financial instruments The group uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments utilised are forward currency contracts. The fair value of forward currency contracts is assessed at the balance sheet date and any profit or loss is recognised in the income statement. Financial assets Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any required allowances for uncollectible amounts. Financial liabilities Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Taxation Current tax payable is provided on taxable profits at prevailing rates for the period. Deferred income tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the carrying value of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full with no discounting. A deferred income tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profits on which this asset can be charged. Deferred income tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer likely that a sufficient taxable benefit will arise. Deferred taxation is shown on the balance sheet separately from current tax assets and liabilities and is categorised among non-current items. Changes in deferred tax balances are recognised as a component of the tax expense in the income statement. Pensions The current service cost of providing retirement pensions and related benefits under the group defined benefit scheme is charged against operating profit as part of operating costs and the expected return on pension scheme assets and the interest on pension scheme liabilities is included in other finance costs. Actuarial gains and losses, net of the related deferred taxation, are recognised in the statement of total income and expense. Other amounts paid to defined contribution schemes are charged against operating profit as part of operating costs as incurred. Scheme assets are measured at fair values. Scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method and are discounted at appropriate high quality corporate bond rates that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related liability. The surplus or deficit as calculated by the scheme's actuary is presented separately on the balance sheet. The related deferred tax is shown with other deferred tax balances. A surplus is recognised only to the extent that it is recoverable by the group. Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a cash-generating unit, or a group of cash-generating units, that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. The disclosures for discontinued operations in prior periods relate to all operations that have been discontinued by the balance sheet date for the latest period presented. Leased assets In accordance with IAS 17, the economic ownership of a leased asset is transferred to the lessee if the lessee bears substantially all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the leased asset. The related asset is recognised at the time of inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments plus incidental payments, if any, to be borne by the lessee. A corresponding amount is recognised as a finance leasing liability. Leases of land and buildings are split into land and buildings elements according to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests at the date the asset is initially recognised. The interest element of leasing payments represents a constant proportion of the capital balance outstanding and is charged to the income statement over the period of the lease. All other leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made under them are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives are spread over the term of the lease. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and on short term deposit, together with other short-term, highly liquid, investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 2.
