CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
 
Introduction 
 
 
This is my first statement since my appointment as Chairman in October 2008 and 
I am pleased to report that the business continues to make progress despite the 
worst trading conditions the retail sector has seen for very many years. 
 
 
Over the six months to 31 October 2008, Adili delivered strong revenue growth 
and achieved some important operational goals. These included the launch of 
Adili's own label ranges, a significant expansion in the number of ethical 
brands and product lines we offer and, in November, the launch of a new website. 
These developments will help to drive future growth and, while trading 
conditions remain very challenging, the opportunity to establish Adili as 'the 
place' to shop online for ethical fashion and other related lifestyle products 
remains substantial. 
 
 
Financial Results 
 
 
Revenue for the six months to 31 October 2008 increased to GBP250,000 (2007: 
GBP140,000), a rise of approximately 78% on the comparative period last year. 
The loss before tax for the six months to 31 October 2008 was GBP901,000 (2007: 
GBP631,000 loss). The loss per share for the six months to 31 October 2008 was 
GBP0.03 (2007: loss per share GBP0.06). The Company ended the period with net 
cash resources of GBP840,000. 
 
 
Fundraising 
 
 
In October 2008, we completed a placing and entered into a loan agreement, which 
together raised additional funds of GBP1 million before expenses. The loan 
converted to equity on the proposed terms after the period end. The new monies 
raised are part of the continuing funding required over the next few months to 
meet the business' working capital requirements and to take it to cash 
break-even. 
 
 
Business Development 
 
 
Product Range 
Over the period, we invested heavily in stock, significantly expanding the range 
of ethical brands and the product lines we sell. At the end of the half year, we 
stocked 68 ethical brands and 1,679 lines, up from 53 and 756, respectively, at 
30 April 2008. By Christmas, our ethical brands and lines had grown to 86 and 
1,806 respectively, which is ahead of management plans. This took our offering 
into gifts and broadened our homewares range. We also widened all our core 
clothing ranges and our jewellery and skincare collections. More recently, we 
appointed a Head of Product whose previous background in buying at GAP, Laura 
Ashley, The Bay Trading Company and Liberty, will help to accelerate our range 
development. 
 
 
A key objective for the business has been the launch of our own label products. 
Our move into 'own label' is expected not only to improve margins but also 
expand our product range in key areas, increase Adili's brand awareness and 
allow greater control over the supply chain. The move also helps us to progress 
our ethical trade goals. 
 
 
We introduced Adili own label products over the summer and the range of own 
label products now includes: ladies knitwear, loungewear and nightwear; a 
capsule menswear collection and bath linen. The Ascension brand (which we 
acquired in March 2008) continues to sell well on our website and we plan to 
expand both the Ascension and Adili ranges over coming months, focusing on Adili 
ranges in particular. The first Adili womanswear capsule collection is in 
production and expected to launch in March 2009. 
 
 
New Website 
In November 2008, we launched Adili's new website, having made significant 
improvements to its 'look and feel' and to its functionality. The new website is 
enabling us to merchandise our products in a much more appealing way and to 
enhance customers' shopping experience. It gives us a good platform for future 
growth and we are pleased that customer reaction to the new site has been 
positive. 
 
 
Operations and Logistics 
Our operations and logistics are run from our base in Dorset and, after the 
period end, we took an additional 9,300 square feet of warehouse and office 
space, adjacent to our current site, which had become available at very low 
cost. This will provide us with sufficient additional space as we continue to 
grow and develop. 
 
 
Market Developments 
 
 
Online retailing and ethical consumerism continue to grow. The latest monthly 
IMRG Cap Gemini e-Retail Sales Index, published in January 2009, shows online 
retailing rising 14.2% year-on-year in December 2008, with sales of clothing 
rising by 32% year-on-year for the same month. The latest Co-operative Bank 
report on ethical consumerism, published in November 2008, advised that "despite 
the first tremors of the downturn being felt towards the end of last year, the 
overall ethical market in the UK was worth GBP35.5 billion in 2007, up 15% from 
GBP31 billion in the previous 12 months". The report also stated that the 
ethical fashion sub-sector has grown by 71% year-on-year to GBP89 million. 
 
 
Both these trends are positive for Adili especially over the longer term. 
However, in the short term, the sharp deterioration in market conditions, 
especially evident in the key Christmas trading period, have adversely affected 
Adili's gross margins. This reduction reflects the discounting action Adili 
took, in line with both online and high street retailers. As the margins 
available in our third party brands business are less than for our own label, 
this has had a significant impact. However, the action taken enabled us to clear 
stock to a comfortable level. 
 
 
Ethical Initiatives 
 
 
In October 2008, as part of our report and accounts, we published the Company's 
first Social and Environmental Review, which outlined how we are working towards 
our social and environmental goals. Since then, we have agreed the legal 
structure of the Adili Foundation and we are now in the process of constituting 
it. We have also begun ordering products as part of our producer group programme 
in Rwanda, which should become available on the website shortly. Aspects of our 
own label project, referred to above, are also a key ethical trade initiative 
and, as we order and sell more of this product, we will see increasing social 
impact. Finally, since the Review, we have now also begun working with charities 
in ways designed to increase the number of visitors to the Adili website while 
also generating either revenues for the charities or helping them in other ways. 
We look forward to developing that activity further. 
 Board Appointment 
 
 
I was pleased to join the board as Non-executive Chairman on 3 October 2008. 
Having worked in fashion retailing over the last seventeen years, at Hobbs and 
before that at Karen Millen, I look forward to helping the management team 
realise their growth plans for the business and establishing Adili as a leading 
name in ethical retailing. 
 
 
Current Trading and Outlook 
 
 
Sales in the four weeks to 21 December 2008, the final shipping date for 
Christmas, increased by 33% on those for the same period in 2007. 3,594 items 
(2007: 2,357) were shipped, arising from 1,468 orders (2007: 1,050), during the 
same period. Trading from 21 December 2008 to 26 January 2009, covering our main 
stock clearance sale period, showed sales growth of 102%. Looking ahead, we 
expect market conditions to remain very challenging but anticipate satisfactory 
growth in revenues. 
 
 
Finally, in what is a difficult time, on behalf of the board, I would like to 
thank Adili's industrious staff for their commitment to the business and our 
ethical goals.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2008 
 
 
1.BASIS OF PREPARATION 
 
 
The interim report is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts 
within the meaning of s240 of the Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for 
2008, which were prepared under IFRS, have been delivered to the Registrar of 
Companies. The auditors' opinion on these accounts was unmodified and did not 
contain a statement under s237 (2) or s237 (3) of the Companies Act 1985. 
 
 
The next annual financial statements of Adili plc will be prepared in accordance 
with IFRS as adopted for use in the EU, applied in accordance with the 
provisions of the Companies Act 1985. Accordingly, the interim financial 
information in this report has been prepared using accounting policies 
consistent with IFRS. IFRS is subject to amendment and interpretation by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial 
Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) and there is an ongoing process of 
review and endorsement by the European Commission. The financial information has 
been prepared on the basis of IFRS that the Directors expect to be applicable as 
at 30 April 2009.  Comparative figures are given for the six months ended 31 
October 2007 and the year ended 30 April 2008. 
 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical 
cost convention and on a going concern basis. It is expected that the Group's 
funds will last less than 12 months from the preparation of this report based on 
management's investment plans for the business. The directors believe it 
appropriate to prepare the interim report on a going concern basis as they 
believe a planned fund raising should be successful.

Basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the Group was loss making and 
therefore any contingently issuable shares would have be anti-dilutive.

No dividends are proposed for the six months ended 31 October 2008 (31 October 
2007 - Nil).
