Amberley Group PLC
Interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2008
The Group's principal asset is its investment in Fortress (GB) Limited ("Fortress"), a market-leading provider of secure,
multi-application smartcard-based solutions for a variety of markets.
I recently reported to you on the progress that Fortress has made during 2008. In February 2008, as previously reported, Amberley invested
£1.2 million in new shares of Fortress in order to increase its stake to 23.9%. Fortress is now deploying that capital to increase its
investment in R&D, fund its geographic expansion, and for general working capital purposes.
Amberley currently has a loan facility of £150,000 which is fully drawn. The loan is provided by Starlight Investments Limited
("Starlight"). Starlight has been put into administrative receivership, so the board of Amberley has decided that this funding should be
replaced, although it should be noted that the facility has not been withdrawn. I expect to provide an update to shareholders in the near
future with respect to the replacement of this loan.
I remain confident in Fortress's future prospects and look forward to reporting again on its progress.

Notes to the interim financial statements
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) using the same
accounting policies as used in the last published statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007. The comparative
figures for the six months ended 30 June 2007 have been restated to correctly record the derivative financial asset and to treat the Group's
investment in Fortress (GB) Limited ("Fortress") as an associated company. This treatment is consistent with that adopted in the audited
statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2007, the first period for which audited financial statements were prepared on an IFRS
basis. This interim financial statement has neither been audited nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing Practices Board.
The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2007 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those
accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was
unqualified, did not include references to any matter to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their
report, and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The financial information in this document
does not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
2 Tax losses
The Group has tax losses carried forward of approximately £15.1m of which £12.9m are capital losses. No deferred tax has been recognised
as the Group does not expect to utilise the losses in the foreseeable future.
3 Dividends
The directors do not recommend an interim dividend.
4 Loss per share
The weighted average number of shares in issue during the six months ended 30 June 2008 was 56,040,021 (Six months ended 30 June 2007
and year ended 31 December 2007: 47,067,494).
5 Investments in equity accounted associates
As at 30 June 2008, the Group had an investment in 23.9% of the issued share capital of Fortress. This investment has been equity
accounted in the consolidated financial statements.
On 1 February 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to subscribe £1,200,000 for 480,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in Fortress.
The agreement utilised the extended option that had previously been recorded as a derivative financial asset in the Group balance sheet. The
subscription was made in two equal tranches of £600,000 on 7 February 2008 and 10 April 2008. The investment increased the Group's
investment in Fortress from 17.6% at 31 December 2007 to the current 23.9%.
6 Issue of share capital
On 31 January 2008 the Company placed 7,500,000 new ordinary shares of 2.5p each in the Company at a placing price of 8p per share and
on 1 April 2008 the Company placed a further 7,500,000 new ordinary shares of 2.5p each in the Company at a placing price of 8p per share.
