Chairman's Statement
Highlights for the six month period to 30 June 2007 (compared to 30 June 2006)
*Turnover #2.89 million (#1.88 million)
*Pre-tax profit #0.02 million (#0.05 million)
*Current investments stated at fair value of #0.86 million (#0.35 million)
*Non-current investments stated at fair value of #3.23 million (#1.74
million)
*Total assets up 112% year on year at #4.89 million (#2.30 million), and
up 63% in first half
*Board confident of further asset advances being made in the second half
year
I am delighted to be reporting our Interim Results for the period ended 30 June
2007. This is our first period of reporting to comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
In this period under review we have concentrated on PLUS Markets for our new
issues. We have also used PLUS Markets to heighten our own profile, by admitting
our shares to trading on this platform. In January 2007 we introduced Oil and
Gas Support Services plc (PLUS: OGSP) to PLUS Markets following a #500,000
fundraising. We have a number of opportunities available to reverse into this
vehicle and it is hoped that it will announce an acquisition by the end of this
year. Having identified the oil and gas support services sector as one that had
a range of 'buy and build' opportunities, we have not been disappointed by the
potential. We hold 46.94% of the Oil and Gas Support Services plc equity.
In March 2007 we were pleased to be able to introduce Gaming Ventures Plc (PLUS:
GAMP) to PLUS Markets following an oversubscribed fundraising. Addworth has a
9.32% stake in this vehicle, which was established for the purpose of investing
in and/or acquiring assets, businesses and companies in the online and mobile
gaming markets.
Our stake in Yellowcake plc (PLUS: YEL), the global investor in uranium
equities, has increased to 29.73%. The uranium sector is experiencing excellent
sentiment and we are delighted to have been involved in this exciting market at
an early stage. To further our participation in this sector we introduced
Uranium Prospects plc (PLUS: URPP), in which we hold a 16.43% equity stake, to
PLUS Markets in July 2007. Once again, we are not short of opportunities to
invest in global uranium prospects.
In January 2007 we made a significant investment in Risk Transfer Limited, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and now own an insurance company in
Guernsey, Channel Islands. Risk Transfer Limited has significantly progressed
negotiations with a number of major companies with a 'lease care' policy. We
envisage the company will have embedded its business model and will be
fee-earning by the end of this year, and we will subsequently look to introduce
it to the AIM market.
The Core Business plc (AIM: CORE), in which we have a 7.99% interest, has
completed its #2.6 million acquisition of Amirose International Limited
following a #1 million fundraising in July 2007.
In the period under review we raised a total of #540,000 (less costs of #18,000)
through the issue of new ordinary shares at a price of 2.25p per share to enable
us to participate at significant levels in our new issues. We are currently
working on bringing three more companies to market by the year end. We also have
a very interesting selection of prospective funding opportunities in our
'pipeline'.
Addworth has continued to move from its entrepreneurial phase of business and we
are now fully operational in our new offices in Carthusian Street. Our staff
levels increased from seven to twelve, eight of whom are full-time. We are now
able to provide facilities and management services through our offices to
companies we bring to market.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our substantial shareholders for
their strong support of our Company and I am confident that we will be able to
continue our momentum to announce further positive news at the year end.

Note to Editors:
Addworth (ADW), which gained admission to AIM on 3rd February 2005, was formed
primarily to act as an 'active capital investor'. The focus is upon the growth
of capital value and the generation of fee income from: establishing and funding
newly quoted sector focused companies; acquiring and developing companies with
growth potential; and taking minority equity positions in undervalued smaller
listed companies.
In the middle of January 2007 the Company established its own insurance company
in Guernsey, Channel Islands, called Risk Transfer Insurance Company Limited.
In late January 2007 it also floated Oil and Gas Support Services plc on PLUS
Markets, a special purpose acquisition company planning to acquire companies
providing services to the global oil and as sector. In late March 2007 it
floated Gaming Ventures plc, an investor in the mobile and online gaming sector.
In July 2007 it floated Uranium Prospects plc, which is involved on the funding
of exploration and development of uranium prospects.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO ADDWORTH PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June
2007 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Balance
Sheet and the Summarised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related
explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the
half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed
set of financial statements.
Directors' Responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved
by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly
financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
As disclosed in note 1, the next annual financial statements of the Group will
be prepared in accordance with IFRSs adopted by the European Union. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly report has
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our
review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with international Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we
do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report for the six months ended 30 June 2007 is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by
the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
As at 30 June 2007
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The next annual financial statements of Addworth Plc (the "Company" or the
"Group") will be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the EU applied in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act 1985.
Accordingly, the interim financial information in this report has been prepared
using accounting policies consistent with IFRS. IFRS is subject to amendment and
interpretation by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the
International Financial Reporting Committee (IFRIC) and there is an ongoing
process of review and endorsement by the European Commission. The interim
financial information has been prepared on the basis of IFRS that the Directors
expect to be applicable as at 31 December 2007.
The interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost
convention as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale investments. The
principal accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to
all financial periods presented.
IFRS transition
The disclosures required by IFRS 1 concerning the transition from UK Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP) to IFRS 1 are given in note 13.
Non-statutory accounts
The financial information set out in this interim report does not comprise the
Group's statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006, which were prepared
under UK GAAP, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors
of the Group at the time, Nexia Smith & Williamson, reported on those accounts:
their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under either
Section 237 (2) or Section 237 (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2007 and 30
June 2006 is unaudited, but a review has been carried out by Saffery Champness,
an independent firm of chartered accountants, on the six month period ended 30
June 2007.
Basis of consolidation
The interim financial information incorporates the results of the Company and
entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where
the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating polices of an
investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are
included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of
acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the results of subsidiaries to bring
the accounting policies into line with those used by the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on
consolidation.
Associated companies
In accounting for investments in associates, the Group has taken advantage of
the exemption granted in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 28 to venture
capital organisations. Such investments are included on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet at fair value under non-current asset investments.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in
the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related
taxes.
Revenue arising from the sale of investments is recognised on the date that the
contract for the transaction is entered into.
Revenue arising from the sale of services is recognised when and to the extent
that the Group obtains the right to consideration in exchange for the
performance of its contractual obligations as follows: on a monthly basis, in
accordance with the terms of the relevant contract or upon full delivery of the
services provided.
Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the rates of exchange
prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date,
monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Exchange gains
and losses on short term foreign currency borrowings and deposits are included
with net interest payable. Exchange differences on all other transactions,
except relevant foreign currency loans, are taken to operating profit.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the tax currently payable and any deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on the estimated taxable profit for the
period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income
statement because it excludes items of income or expenditure that are taxable or
deductible in other years and further excludes items that are never taxable or
deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is
accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities
are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits
will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be
utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a
business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that
affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences
arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to
control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not be reversible in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet
date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient
taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be
recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is
charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged
or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt
with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally
enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and
the Group intends to settle its current assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Share based payments
The cost of share based employee compensation arrangements, whereby employees
receive remuneration in the form of shares or share options, is recognised as an
employee benefit expense in the income statement.
The total expense to be apportioned over the vesting period of the benefit is
determined by reference to the fair value (excluding the effect of non-market
based vesting conditions) at the date of grant. The assumptions underlying the
number of awards expected to vest are subsequently adjusted for the effects of
non-market-based vesting to reflect the conditions prevailing at the balance
sheet date. Fair value is measured by the use of a binomial model. The expected
life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate,
for the effects of the non-transferability, exercise restrictions and
behavioural considerations.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
recognised impairment loss.
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their
estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, on the following basis:
Leasehold improvements - over the period of the lease
Office furniture and equipment - 25% per annum on a straight line basis
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Investments are classified as either held-for-trading or available for sale at
initial recognition and this designation is re-evaluated at each balance sheet
date. At the balance sheet date all such investments are classified as available
for sale. Investments are initially measured at cost, including transaction
costs. At subsequent reporting dates available-for-sale investments are measured
at fair value or at cost where fair value is not readily ascertainable. Gains
and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity
until the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which
time the cumulative gain or loss recognised previously in equity is included in
the net profit or loss for the period.
Trade and other receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value,
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the
Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of any provision
is recognised in the income statement.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash held by the Group and short-term bank
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate
method.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified
in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into
and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity
instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of
the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by
the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct costs.
Interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and other loans are recorded at the
proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance costs are accounted for on
an accruals basis in the income statement using the effective interest method.
2. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The significant judgements
made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies were:
Impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in
use of the cash generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value
in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected
to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to
calculate the present value. No goodwill was recognised in the period.
Share based payments
In determining the fair value of equity settled share based payments and the
related charge to the income statement, the Group makes assumptions about future
events and market conditions. In particular judgement must be made as to the
likely number of shares that will vest, and the fair value of each award
granted. The fair value is determined using a valuation model which is dependent
on further estimates, including the Group's future dividend policy, employee
turnover, the timing with which options will be exercised and the future
volatility in the price of the Group's shares. Such assumptions are based on
publicly available information and reflect market expectations and advice taken
from qualified personnel. Different assumptions about these factors to those
made by the Group could materially affect the reported value of share based
payments.
Valuation of financial instruments
At each reporting date the Group values its financial instruments at fair value.
In the case of listed securities this is deemed to be the bid price of the share
at the close of business on the reporting date. In the case of unlisted
securities the value is deemed to be the cost price less any impairment the
directors may feel it prudent to provide.

Basic earnings per share in each period are based on the return on ordinary
activities after taxation attributable to equity shareholders.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of all
potentially dilutive ordinary shares, all of which arise from share warrants.
5. Investments
All investments are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss or
available for sale, as defined by IAS 39. The classification depends on the
purpose for which the investment was acquired. Management determines the
classification of its investments at initial recognition.
(a) Investments at fair value through profit or loss
Investments at fair value through profit or loss are investments held for
trading. An investment is classified in this category if acquired principally
for the purpose of selling in the short term. Investments in this category are
classified as current assets.
(b) Available for sale investments
Available for sale investments are non-derivatives that are either designated in
this category or not classified in any other category. This category also
includes the Group's investments in associates. They are included in non-current
assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months
of the balance sheet date.
All investments are designated upon initial recognition as held at fair value
through profit or loss and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair
value, which in the case of listed investments is the bid price.
Unlisted investments are valued at cost price, subject to a review by the
Directors taking into account relevant information as appropriate including
market prices, accounting information and professional advice.
6. Investments in associates
The Group accounts for its investments in associates under the rules set out in
IAS 28 for venture capital organisations. Such investments are included on the
balance sheet at fair value under non-current asset investments.
The following valuations are included in non-current asset investments and are
based on each associate's bid price at close of business on the reporting date,
except that the valuation for Oil and Gas Support Services plc at 31 December
2006 is the cost price, as the shares were not yet listed at that date:
