Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 January 2009 
 
 
I am pleased to report that the first half results continue to show a profit. 
Management has concentrated on searching for and fulfilling new business, 
primarily connected with production of electronic passports and security print 
verification. This type of activity offers high gross margins, the highest 
calibre of customers in the world and a good ongoing revenue stream as a result 
of support contract income. 
 
 
The result for the first half of this year shows a profit on operations of 
c.GBP70,000 (2008: c.GBP67,000). Turnover for operations increased 14% to GBP1.4 
million (2008: GBP1.2 million). Earnings per share were 0.60 pence (2008: 0.44 
pence). Cash was GBP771,000 at 31 January 2009 (2008: GBP222,000), and net 
assets were GBP96,000 (2008: GBP211,000 net liabilities). A large proportion of 
our cash holdings are on deposit in the US. The significant change in the 
pound/dollar rate since July 31 last year has flattered the balance sheet, as 
this is reported in Sterling. 
 
 
The Board does not propose the payment of an interim dividend. 
 
 
Operational Review 
Business for the first half year to January 31, 2009 has continued much as 
expected. The primary activity on the e-passport side has been completion of one 
contract in Korea and continued work on another in Africa. We are also near 
completion of an existing order in the US. Significantly, we have won two new 
contracts in Europe, which require us to install our tracking and Sentinel 
solutions on to a variety of new e-passport making machines from different 
manufacturers. This will broaden our experience and expand the target range for 
future sales. 
 
 
In November, we exhibited at the Graph Expo and Cartes exhibitions in Chicago 
and Paris, respectively. Although both were less well attended than last year, 
we are pleased with our own visitor response, from which one new project is 
already progressing with a major US printing company. Our main focus at these 
exhibitions is to identify and strengthen new strategic partnerships for all our 
solutions. 
 
 
On the high speed camera and MagVision side, we continue to demonstrate new 
applications. Our contract support income is holding up well, and cash flow 
continues to be on plan. 
 
 
Current Trading 
Ongoing projects, orders in hand and deals currently in negotiation lead us to 
expect a satisfactory outcome for the rest of this year. Anecdotal evidence from 
some of our peers suggests that business is being at best delayed, although, 
with our own focus on security printing applications, we continue to see 
attractive business opportunities. 
 
 
The major components of our business expenses are salaries and travel. We have 
made modest reductions to our payroll, and have always maintained a tight 
control of expenses. 
 
 
We continue to invest in marketing and new research and development, since these 
are the lifeblood of our business. 
 
 
Future Prospects 
Our current business dynamics, type of customer, route to market and margin on 
sales, have shown to hold up well in the past. In the current difficult economic 
climate, we intend to continue with our existing operations, where we will 
target winning new e-passport projects and the more specialist document tracking 
requirements in security printing. To this end, we are aware of multiple new 
tenders for such equipment around the world, which, together with our expanding 
list of partners, we will aggressively pursue. By maintaining a close 
relationship with all our customers, we become aware of new projects, which 
guide our decisions on risk developments and speculative marketing activities.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
        The significant accounting policies, which have been consistently 
applied in preparing the 
 financial statements are as follows: 
 
1      BASIS OF PREPARATION 
 
        The financial information set out in the interim report does not 
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 
1985. The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2008 
prepared under  the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards 
as adopted by the European Union, IFRIC interpretations and the Companies Act 
1985, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on 
those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under 
Section 237(2) of the Companies Act 1985. 
 
        These interim financial statements are for the six months ended 31 
January 2009. They do not include all of the information required for full 
annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2008. 
 
        These interim financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention. 
 
        These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
the accounting policies set out in the most recently available public 
information, which are based on the recognition and measurement principles of 
IFRS in issue as adopted by the European Union (EU). 
 
        Inspectron Holdings plc's consolidated financial statements were 
prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom 
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) until 31 July 2007. The date of 
transition to IFRS was 1 August 2008. The disclosures required by IFRS 1 
concerning the transition from UK GAAP to IFRS are explained in note 5. 
 
        The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the 
Group for the purposes of preparation of these interim financial statements. 
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION 
 
        The financial statements consolidate the results, cash flows and assets 
and liabilities of the company and its wholly owned subsidiary undertakings. 
2      TAXATION 
 
Taxation charged for the period ended 31 January 2009 is calculated by applying 
the directors' best estimate of the annual tax rate to the result for the 
period. 
 
3      SHARE CAPITAL 
 
As at 31 January 2009, the company had an authorised share capital of 15,000,000 
ordinary shares of 1p each, of which 11,890,904 had been issued and were fully 
paid. 
4      EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE 
 
        The earnings per ordinary share have been calculated using the profit 
for the period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue 
during the period as follows:

+-------------------------------------+-+------------+--------------------+ 
|                                     |  |            |         Profit per | 
|                                     | |            |              share | 
+-------------------------------------+-+------------+--------------------+ 
| Basic earnings (pence per share)    |  |            |                .60 | 
|                                     | |            |                    | 
+-------------------------------------+-+------------+--------------------+ 
        The basic earnings per share are calculated on the weighted average 
number of shares in issue during the period. 
 
The share option schemes have expired and hence the basic and diluted profits 
per share calculations are the same this year. 
 
5 EXPLANATION OF TRANSITION TO IFRS 
 
As stated in the basis of preparation, these are the Group's first condensed 
consolidated interim financial statements for part of the period covered by the 
first IFRS annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with 
IFRS. 
 
An explanation of how the transition from UK GAAP to IFRS has affected the 
Group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out 
below. 
 
        Explanation of material adjustments to the cash flow statement: 
Changes to the cashflow statement previously reported under UK GAAP are mainly 
presentational. For the purpose of the cashflow statement, cash and cash 
equivalents comprise cash on hand less overdrafts. 
 
There have been no changes to the figures in the cashflow statement due to the 
transition to IFRS. 
 
Explanation of reconciliation from UK GAAP to IFRS for the balance sheet and 
income statement: 
 
The adoption of IFRS by the Group has resulted in some reordering of the 
presentation of certain balances within both the income statement and balance 
sheet. 
 
There have been no changes to the figures in the balance sheet and income 
statement due to the transition to IFRS.
