INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
Preamble
Our half-yearly report does not usually have a Chairman's preamble. The reason
it does this time is because for the first time this is the Chairman's preamble
alone and not that of the Chairman and Chief Executive. In late November 2007
the board invited long-time Head of Sales, Mark Wells, to take on the role of
CEO. This move recognises Mark's increasing influence and allows him to take
control of the day to day affairs of the business giving me more time to spend
with senior staff in general, helping them, and him, achieve the long-term
ambitions we all share.
Getting the business back on track after several difficult years has been, and
continues to be, hard work. Progress towards top line growth has not been as
fast as any of us would like, but progress there has been. We remain a growth
business and are now getting benefits from the efforts our staff have been
making. There is still much to do, and we are united in our determination to do
it.
T H F Kirby
Chairman
Results
These half-year results are encouraging; we have re-established constant
currency sales growth in the UK, the Americas and Asia Pacific, our gross
margins remain strong and our cost reduction programme is delivering the
overhead reductions we expected. We still have work to do in Continental Europe
to re-establish sales growth. However, we believe that the right managerial and
operational steps are being taken.
In the UK and the Americas our constant currency sales growth has been driven by
higher sales to independent retailers and stronger internet sales, while sales
through our Hobby stores have remained flat as we have restructured the store
chains. In Continental Europe most of the sales decline has been from sales to
independent retailers and we are beginning to see some improved performance from
our Hobby stores.
We have opened five Hobby stores and closed 18 during the period, leaving us
with 335 at the end of November 2007.
The pre-exceptional gross margin, at 69.9%, remains strong. We believe this to
be sustainable.
Compared to November 2006, sterling has strengthened by 8.5% against the US
dollar and weakened by 1.2% against the euro. We have shown below our sales
progression in constant currency terms so that readers can better understand the
figures.
Cost reduction programme
Our cost reduction programme, announced in May 2007, has three key areas:
* Closing loss-making stores
* Rationalisation of the manufacturing and supply chain
* Simplification of the support infrastructure
In the first half of this year we have shut over half of the stores identified
for closure, nine in the Americas, four in the UK, four in Continental Europe
and one in Asia Pacific.
We have closed our tool making facility at Wisbech, UK and this activity has
been relocated to our Nottingham site. Our programme to rationalise inventory
management is being rolled out across our UK Hobby stores and it is also being
introduced in the Americas.
We have completed the removal of the former divisional management structures and
service centres have been established in Nottingham to remove unnecessary
duplication of back office functions. The service centres support the IT,
accounting, HR, production planning and supplier development functions across
the majority of the Group's activities.
We still expect the cost reduction programme to result in annualised cost
reductions of £7m.
The costs associated with this programme are shown as exceptional costs.
Prospects
The principal risks and uncertainties for the balance of the year lie in the
ability of each of our individual sales businesses to establish and maintain
sales growth. Our gross margins are strong, our costs and working capital are
under control, so sales delivery remains an area of key focus.
Nevertheless these half-year results are encouraging, and the directors firmly
believe that the prospects for the business remain very good.
Dividend
We are using the cash which would have otherwise been applied in paying
dividends this year to finance the cost reduction programme described above. The
board remains confident in the future growth and profitability of the Group and
will resume paying dividends when appropriate.
Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors confirm that this condensed set of financial statements has been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union, and that
the interim management report herein includes a fair review of the information
required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8.
The directors of Games Workshop Group PLC are listed in the annual report for
the 53 weeks to 3 June 2007, with the exception of M N Wells who was appointed

The restatement of the prior period results is to reflect the reclassification
of certain costs from cost of sales to operating expenses following the
establishment of the service centres (Nov 2006: £406,000; May 2007: £787,000).
There are also reclassifications from cost of sales (Nov 2006: £110,000; May
2007: £216,000) and operating expenses (Nov 2006: £106,000; May 2007: £226,000)
to revenue following the standardisation of trading terms to independent
retailers within Europe. Although these reclassifications are not material, they
are being reclassified to aid comparison to the current period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Basis of preparation
The half-year results for the six months to 2 December 2007 and for the
comparative six months to 26 November 2006 are unaudited and do not constitute
statutory accounts within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
Statutory accounts for the 53 weeks to 3 June 2007 have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified,
did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any
statement under section 237 of the Companies Act 1985.
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting
policies under International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') detailed in
the financial statements for the 53 weeks to 3 June 2007 which are expected to
be followed in the full financial statements for the year ending 1 June 2008.
This half-yearly report has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and with IAS 34 'Interim
Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
Changes to accounting standards and interpretations and their likely impact on
the Group's future accounting policies are set out below:
IFRS 7 'Financial instruments: disclosures' is effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2007, and will therefore be applicable for the
year ending 1 June 2008, and IFRS 8 'Operating segments', effective for
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, will be applicable in
the year ending May 2010. These amendments to disclosure requirements will have
no effect on the Group's reported results. The Group does not consider that any
other standards or interpretations issued by the IASB, but not yet applicable,
will have a significant impact on the Group's results.
The half-yearly report is available to shareholders and members of the public on
the Company's website at investor.games-workshop.com.

The restatement of prior periods is to disclose costs for IT, accounting,
payroll, HR, production planning and supplier development services as costs
relating to the service centres and to reflect these changes in the allocation
of operating profits to the geographic segments. This is following the
establishment of service centres covering these areas in the six months to 2
December 2007.
3. Dividends
No dividend was paid in the six months to 2 December 2007. In addition, no
interim dividend is proposed for the year ending 1 June 2008 (2006: 4.95p).
4. Tax
The taxation credit for the six months to 2 December 2007 is based on an
estimate of the full year effective rate of 40% (2006: 40%) for the year ending
1 June 2008.
5. (Loss)/earnings per share
Basic (loss)/earnings per share is calculated by dividing the (loss)/profit
attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue throughout the relevant period, excluding ordinary shares
purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.

Diluted (loss)/earnings per share
The calculation of diluted (loss)/earnings per share has been based on the
(loss)/profit attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average
number of shares in issue during the relevant period, excluding treasury shares,
adjusted for the dilution effect of share options outstanding at the end of the
period.

There is no impact on the diluted EPS for the six months to 2 December 2007 and

losses, these options are anti-dilutive.
