for the record...
Unaudited interim results
For the six months to 31 October 2004
Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report the Group's interim results.

During the period, the Company raised approximately £1 million by way of a
Rights Issue at 10p per rights unit. Each rights unit comprised one ordinary
share and seven warrants in the capital of Amberley. 91.7 per cent. of the
rights units were taken up by shareholders with the balance being placed with
Barry Pincus and Robert Goldsmith, both directors of Amberley. The Group's two
remaining properties were disposed of for a total consideration of £900,000.

During the period, the Group made a loss on ordinary activities of £68,000
(2003: £62,000).

The net asset value as at 31 October 2004 was £2.45 million, which is equivalent
to 6.95p per share, of which £2.3 million is in cash. The Directors do not
recommend an interim dividend.

Towards the end of the period, the Group purchased Contracts For Difference
('CFDs') over shares in Chapelthorpe Plc, a company quoted on the London Stock
Exchange. As at 28 January 2005, the Group held CFDs over 10,006,927
Chapelthorpe shares at an average price of 18.94p per share versus a mid-market
price of 19.88p. A CFD gives the holder an economic interest in the performance
of the share concerned but does not confer legal or beneficial ownership of such
share.

THE FUTURE

We have looked at a number of potential investments, in both the public and
private arena, and continue to search for opportunities that will create
significant shareholder value in the long term. Shareholders will be kept
informed of any major developments.

ram,

That 50K was the stock that I sold in September, it looks as if they forgot to announce it when the warrants converted. At the time I was selling the AMB Ords at 13p, equivalent to 3p on the Warrants.

I wonder what there thoughts are on CPL!!!

This should be interesting (although unexpected), are they trying to flush out a bidder? With Chris Mills (North Atlantic) allready on board at CPL with 6%+
it looks like action may be in peoples mind.
Cannot see AMB bidding for the whole of CPL, but who knows?
Maybe LUP will bid?

between 17 September 2004 and 16 December 2004 it purchased contracts for
difference over 8,506,927 ordinary shares (equivalent to 4.17 per cent. of the
ordinary shares) in Chapelthorpe plc ('Chapelthorpe')


CHAPELTHORPE PLC
INTERIM RESULTS

For the six months ended 30 September 2004

• Turnover up 4% to £60.9m (2003: £58.7m)

• Underlying* operating profit of £2.3m (2003: £3.1m)

• Net borrowings reduced from £22.7m to £21.2m; on track for borrowings
below £20m by March 2005

Canada being closed with write-down of £5.4m

• Interim dividend of 0.33p, up 10%, covered 1.6 times by underlying*

• Underlying* EPS 0.53p (2003: 0.71p restated)

• Reshaping of the Group underway

* Before exceptional items and goodwill

Commenting, John Standen, Chairman stated: ' The determined efforts we have made
to maximise our cash generation and improve our control over working capital
have ensured that, despite the setbacks we have experienced in the first six
months of this year, we have been able to deliver further reductions in
borrowings.

We look forward to improved trading in the second half and remain firmly on
track to achieve our target of borrowings below £20m by March 2005.'

Commenting, Brian Leckie, Chief Executive stated: ' The review of our businesses
and assets outlined at the time of our 2004 financial results is proceeding. The
purpose of the review is to ensure that Chapelthorpe is as well placed as it can
be to deliver growth and acceptable returns for shareholders.
We have decided to focus the Group's activities more towards man-made fibres,
which currently represent the major proportion of Group sales. Our Umbrella
Frames division does not fit into this new direction we are taking and we are
currently exploring ways to release cash from this division.
Continuing raw material price pressures and increasing energy costs will
continue to present challenges for the remainder of the year and defence of our
margins remains a priority. We will continue to focus on productivity and the
development of new markets and products.'

Warrants moved up to 2p bid i see. They are extremely cheap - one penny rise in AMB will mean a near 50% rise in the warrant (the offer anyway).

I'm still depserately trying to understand about AMB and AMBN. I'm interested. If any of you can link me to more, I'd be grateful. I'm confused about switching from ords to units. Moreover, are the warrants straightforward warrants - or is there anothe rpayment attached to them. What is the expiry date? Is there a market for them? Is it possible to put a case for these in a few sentences?

Sorry if I'm gatecrashing a private party here. :)

tilton,
i cant find ambn quoted anywhere. and amb is now xr as far as i can see. but if this is the case why are folks still buying the shares (amb)? am i now going to have to wait to buy the units and do they disappear in 2 weeks and just revert to wrrs? and where do you see the share price once the reorganisation is completed?

sorry for all the questions, but i am keen on the idea.

tilton, im unclear about this one. the share (amb) i see quoted at 10p ish, is that the unit (i cant find any other share class/epic) or is that the old share with rights to the unit, or have i now missed the boat or what?

also, are hambro/chris mills still a holder or did they get out?

YESTERDAY WAS THE LAST DATE YOU COULD BUY TO QUALIFY FOR THE DIVIDEND !!

"Once a company has announced that it's to pay a dividend, which it normally does twice a year, the shares will be available to investors "cum dividend" or "with" dividend for about a week after the announcement. Investors who wish to buy the shares with this right to the dividend will have to do so before the ex-dividend date, the day on which the seller loses the right to the payment.

The ex-dividend date is set by the company after it has announced its intention to pay a dividend to the London Stock Exchange. Because of the three-day rolling settlement system of the Exchange, this marks the end of the period when investors can buy the shares and still ensure that their name appears on the shareholders register in time for the record date two days later. Those buying the shares on the day before they go ex-div will be the last allowed on to the register to qualify.

Payment of the dividend is usually within five or six weeks of the ex-dividend date. But the market should already have taken account of the payment. In theory anyway, the share price drops when the share goes ex-dividend, taking the dividend out of the share price as buyers will no longer be entitled to it. It is at this point that investors can choose to pick up the dividend or acquire a less expensive share. For shares with larger yields, the ex-dividend movement can be significant. "
