Bolton Group (International) Limited
Interim Results
Chairman's Statement

The Board of Bolton Group (International) Limited announces the unaudited,
consolidated results for the six month period ended 31 October 2004.

Results

The Group has made a loss before tax of #34,000 (2003: loss before tax
#188,000). The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.

Review of Operations

The Company is currently reviewing the future strategy and will be looking to
make investments in areas that will maximise shareholders value. Islington
Primary Care Trust has taken occupation of Angel House, the Company's main
asset.

As stated in the Company's Annual Report, regretfully in the past 12 months, the
Company has been involved in substantial litigation to regain its main asset,
which frustrated any attempts to move the Company forward. This matter having
been settled leaves the Company free to investigate opportunities.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
          
     1.   The interim report has been prepared using accounting policies
          consistent with those set out in the statutory accounts of the group 
          for the year ended 30 April 2004.
          
     2.   The financial information for the six month period to 31 October 2004
          and 31 October 2003 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory 
          accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. 
          The figures relating to the year ended 30 April 2004 have been 
          restated from those reported in the 30 April 2004 statutory accounts 
          and on which the auditors gave a qualified opinion. The restatement of 
          the year ended 30 April 2004 figures is as a result of the settlement 
          reached at mediation which is detailed in the company's announcement 
          of 26 August 2004. The company has now met the terms of this mediation 
          agreement.
