    INTERIM REPORT 2008

    Chairman's Statement

    The results for the six months ended 31 August 2008 showed a loss before tax of �30,000 (six months ended 31 August 2007: �26,000 loss;
year ended 29 February 2008: �54,000 loss). 

    No dividend has been declared.

    During the period under review, your directors have continued to search for an acquisition or other solution which would add shareholder
value, regrettably without success. We will continue our efforts in this direction. Until such time as we are able to put suitable proposals
to shareholders, we will continue to minimise expenditure.

    A H Drummon
    Chairman

    Notes to the Interim Report

    1.         Basis of preparation of the interim report

    The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2008 has been prepared on a basis consistent with the
financial statements for the year ended 29 February 2008.  

    The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2008 has not been audited or reviewed by the auditors
pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

    The comparative financial information for the year ended 29 February 2008 has been extracted from the audited financial statements, on
which the auditors issued an unqualified audit report and which have 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 relevant financial periods.

    There are no recognized gains or losses other than the profit or loss for the relevant 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.

capital during the period.

    There is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share.
