HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC
INTERIM REPORT 2007
Chairman's Statement
The results for the six months ended 31 August 2007 showed a loss before tax of
£26,000 (2006: £29,000 loss).
No dividend has been declared.
Unfortunately, even though we currently have two shareholders each controlling
20% or more of the issued share capital, neither they nor your directors have
yet succeeded in identifying a suitable acquisition for your company which would
add shareholder value. However, I assure you that your directors will put to
shareholders any opportunity for an acquisition which will add shareholder
value.
A H Drummon
Chairman

Notes to the Interim Statement
1. Basis of preparation of the interim statement
The income statement, reconciliation of equity shareholders' funds, balance
sheet and cash flow statement have been prepared on a basis consistent with
the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2007. A copy of the
full financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2007, on which the
auditors have issued an unqualified report, has been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The financial information contained in the interim
statement does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of
section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. There are no acquired or discontinued
operations in the above two financial periods.
Highway Capital plc is a stand-alone company and does not prepare
consolidated accounts. It has therefore continued to prepare its accounts in
accordance with UK rather than international accounting standards, as
permitted under EC Regulation 1606/2002.
2. Loss per share
The loss per ordinary share calculation has been based on the losses
attributable to ordinary shareholders of £26,000 (2006: £29,000), divided by
7,945,638 (2006: 7,945,638) being the average of the issued share capital
during the period.
There is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share.
3. 2007 interim dividend
No interim dividend has been declared.
4. Publication
Copies of this statement will be circulated to all shareholders and will
also be available from the company's registered office at 73 Wimpole Street,
London W1G 8AZ.
