HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC
INTERIM REPORT 2005
Chairman's Statement
The results for the six months ended 31 August 2005 show a loss before tax of
£26,932 (2004: £26,102 loss).
At this time we do not consider it appropriate to declare a dividend.
In the last annual statement, I informed shareholders that preliminary
discussions were taking place with other possible targets. To date none have
been suitable.
Target companies continue to be identified and evaluated as the board seeks
opportunities to maximize the value of the company.
I will report to you as soon as there are positive developments.

Notes to the Interim Statement
1. Basis of preparation of the interim statement
The profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement have been
prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements for the year
ended 28 February 2005. A copy of the full financial statements for the year
ended 28 February 2005, 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 £27,000 (2004: £26,000), divided by
7,945,638 (2004: 7,945,638) being the average of the issued share capital
during the period.
There is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share.
3. 2005 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 2 Fitzhardinge
Street, London W1H 6EE.
