Chairman's Statement
For the six months ended 30th June 2009
I am pleased to report an operating profit of GBP604,000 (GBP342,000: 2008) for
the six months ended 30th June 2009. Sales in the period were up by GBP462,000
to GBP1,884,000 (GBP1,422,000: 2008).
The increase in both sales (32%) and operating profit (76%) are largely due to
the impact of the US commercial launch on 1st July 2009 of the cool.click(TM)2
needle-free injector system by our licensees, Merck Serono. The supply of
cool.click(TM)2 launch stocks to Merck Serono will also have an impact in the
second half as cool.click(TM)2 is rolled out in other territories.
cool.click(TM)2 is an advanced needle-free injector system which incorporates
novel features, such as electronic dose measurement and display. The launch of
cool.click(TM)2 means that our live development projects all relate to our ASITM
disposable autoinjector technology.
The first of these projects scheduled for commercial launch is the ASITM
autoinjector device being developed for Dr Reddy's Laboratories. This project is
progressing satisfactorily however, like all new project development, the
project has had its fair share of challenges. As with any drug product timing of
the launch will depend on regulatory approvals which are difficult to predict
with any certainty. Currently, we are led to believe that the product should be
ready for market within the coming 6 months.
The next ASITM autoinjector launch is expected to be that of our unnamed
pharmaceutical company partner, which announced earlier this year that it has
received regulatory approval for the drug which will be used with our technology
in one of their principal marketing territories. Use of the drug in combination
with our device still remains subject to approval as a combination product.
Following behind this will be the project we are working on with Catalent and
Stallergenes to develop an emergency epinephrine autoinjector for the European
market. This project is currently proceeding to plan.
Interest in our technologies, which cover delivery of a wide range of injectable
drugs, continues to be strong, including for those drugs in dry formulations
that require reconstitution prior to injection. We are confident that we will
continue to sign further agreements.
I wish to place on record my thanks to all my colleagues at The Medical House,
without whose dedication and commitment these results would not have been
achieved.
Prospects
The second half of the year is trading in line with our expectations

Responsibility statement of the directors in respect of the consolidated
financial statements
On 12 August 2009 the Group announced it was in early discussions that may or
may not lead to an offer being made for the Group. Having regard to these
discussions and the requirements of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, the
Group has voluntarily chosen to comply with the reporting requirements as set
out in IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the appropriate sections of the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
* The set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.
* The interim review report includes a fair review of the information required by
DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an indication of
important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial
year and their impact on the set of financial statements.
By order of the Board

Independent review report to The Medical House PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the set of financial statements in
the Interim Review Report for the six months ended 30 June 2009 which comprises
the consolidated interim income statement, the consolidated interim statement of
comprehensive income, the consolidated interim statement of changes in equity,
the consolidated interim balance sheet, the consolidated interim statement of
cash flows, and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other
information contained in the Interim Review Report and considered whether it
contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
information in the set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our
engagement. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company
those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this
report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
Directors' responsibilities
The Interim Review Report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by,
the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Review
Report in accordance with the AIM Rules.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The set of financial
statements included in this Interim Review Report has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the set of
financial statements in the Interim Review 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 UK. 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.
Whilst the company has previously produced an interim review report, that report
has not previously been subject to an interim review. As a consequence, the
review procedures set out above have not been performed in respect of the
comparative period for the six months ended 30 June 2008.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the set of financial statements in the Interim Review Report for the six
months ended 30 June 2009 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the AIM Rules.

Those accounts have been reported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to
the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii)
did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention
by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a
statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the accounting policies set out in the Annual Report for the year ended 31
December 2008. The Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Group are
prepared in accordance with the IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The prior year
comparatives are derived from audited financial information set out in the
Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 and
the unaudited financial information in the consolidated interim financial
statements for the six months ended 30 June 2008. These consolidated financial
statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
On 12 August 2009 the Group announced it was in early discussions that may or
may not lead to an offer being made for Group. Having regard to these
discussions and the requirements of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, the
Group has voluntarily chosen to prepare the set of financial statements in
accordance with the reporting requirements as set out in IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and the appropriate sections of the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules. The set of financial statements has been
prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in
the preparation of the Group's published consolidated Annual Report and
Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2008. They do not include
all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated Annual Report and Financial
Statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2008.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
3. Going concern
The Directors have reviewed the banking facilities available to the Group, the
profit and cash forecasts of the Group with appropriate sensitivities around
operational performance. The ability of the Group to continue trading in the
foreseeable future is contingent upon the availability of its overdraft
facility, which is due for renewal on 31 March 2010. The Medical House PLC will
open renewal negotiations with its bank in due course and has not at this stage
sought any written commitment that the facility will be renewed. However, the
Medical House PLC is aware of no indications that the overdraft facility will
not be renewed at that time. Accordingly the directors consider that these
statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.
4. Significant accounting policies
The following published accounting standards have become effective from 1
January 2009:
- IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" - Financial information is required to be reported
on the same basis as is used internally for evaluating operating segment
performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Further information relating
to the Group's operating segments is included in Note 5.
- Revised IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs" - The Group does not expect this to impact
the Financial Statements.
- Revised IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" - This has resulted in
the presentation of a Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
- Amendments to IFRS 2 "Share Based Payment - Vesting Conditions and
Cancellations" -The Group does not expect this to impact the Financial
Statements.
5. Segmental analysis
The directors consider that the Group only has one business segment being the
design, development, assembly and sale of medical instruments capable of
injecting a drug or vaccine, as well as research and development activities in
this area. Other income is ancillary and does not constitute a segment in its
own right. The turnover, operating profit and net assets of the Group are
attributable to the drug delivery devices.
Turnover originated in the
United Kingdom (60%), EU (33%) and Rest of the World (7%). All assets are held
within the United Kingdom.
6. Taxation
Taxation has been provided at the estimated effective rate for the period, based
on the mainstream rate of 28%. The profit in the period is covered by unused tax
losses brought forward and therefore a deferred tax charge arises as a reduction
in the deferred tax asset on these losses, after adjustments in respect of the
tax charge in prior periods.
7. Earnings per share
The calculation of earnings per share is based on the profit after taxation and
the number of ordinary shares in issue during the period (60,118,869 shares as
at 31 December 2008 and as at 30 June 2009). The diluted earnings per share are
based upon the number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, plus the
maximum number of shares which could be issued under share option schemes. The
total number of shares used to calculate the diluted earnings per share is
62,501,369.

Product development costs relate to the capitalised costs of developing drug
delivery systems. As at 30 June 2009 these amounted to GBP2,352,000 (31 December
2008 GBP2,195,000). Where a contract exists these costs are amortised on a cost
per unit basis over the life of the related contract, taking account of the
minimum contracted volumes. Where no contract exists they are written-off over
the expected useful life of the product. The costs are charged through
administrative expenses section of the income statement.
During the period ended 30 June 2009 the directors identified an indicator of
impairment in respect of a certain drug delivery system and therefore carried
out an impairment test on this drug delivery system. This resulted in the
recognition of an impairment expense of GBP95,000. No further indicators of
impairment have been indentified in the period.
