Commenting on the results, Simon McGivern, Chief Executive stated:

"ILA Group has made considerable progress, with sales rising four-fold compared to the last six months and operating losses reducing by over 35%. Most importantly, ILA's distribution footprint is increasing rapidly, with the Company's products now selling in over 20 countries worldwide. In line with group strategy, product ranges are increasing organically (through new product development) and by acquisition. As such, we were pleased to announce the acquisition of Premium Factory shortly after the period end. This brings a new range of products, new manufacturing capabilities and new distribution channels, most notably giving an immediate introduction to multiple retailers, including Asda and Sainsbury's, where contracts are in place."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to say that the Company has made significant progress in the past six months and this has continued into the current financial period. We have seen strong organic growth and this is now enhanced by the acquisition of Premium Factory.

Financial performance

Revenue for the six months to 31 December 2010 was GBP646,995 (six months to 30 June 2010: GBP136,105) and the total loss for the period before exceptional items was GBP378,818 (6 months to 30 June 2010: GBP598,752).

Current trading and prospects

Trading has continued strongly in the first half of the financial year. The Directors are committed to delivering long term growth through the delivery of four main strategies:

1. Increasing distribution channels (both domestically and through international sales channels).

2. Development of cost efficient marketing strategies with core marketing partner, BBH

3. Increasing branded product ranges.

4. Actively looking for suitable acquisition targets

The Board is confident that this can be achieved by the continued hard work of the management team which includes Sir Richard Greenbury and which Gordon Black CBE has recently joined as an adviser. We believe that we will see a sharp rise in turnover from both existing and new products in the second half, complemented by a steadily growing distribution network.

The outlook for the next six months, and looking further ahead, is very positive and the Directors remain confident that the business plan can deliver sustained growth in what is a specialist market.

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The interim financial statementsThe interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010, which are unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the annual report and accounts for the year ended 30

June 2010, which were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards

("IFRS").

The financial information contained in the interim report does not constitute statutory accounts. The financial information for the preceding period is based on the statutory accounts for the 6 months ended 30 June 2010. The Auditors' report for the 6 months ended 30 June 2010 was unqualified.

As permitted, this interim report has been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and not in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Therefore it is not fully compliant with IFRS.

As a result of the application of Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: A Revised Presentation the Group has elected to present a single Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Previously the Group presented an income statement only, with movements in other comprehensive income recognised as part of total recognised income and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. In addition, certain primary statement titles have changed in order to align with the terms used in IAS 1. The Amendment does not change the recognition or measurement of transactions and balances in the financial statements.

4. Earnings per Ordinary Share

The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

The calculation of diluted loss per share is based on loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be in issue, assuming conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Reconciliations of the loss and weighted average number of shares used in the calculations are set out below:
