          Interim results for the six month period ended 30 June 2005

Asia Capital plc (AIM: ASI), an investment company, announces its financial
results for the six month period ended 30 June 2005.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Introduction
Asia Capital continued its progress during the period under review in
positioning itself as an attractive shell company with the objective of
identifying a suitable acquisition. We have evaluated a number of potential
acquisitions to date and are moving closer to selecting an acquisition
candidate. We are determined that such a candidate should meet our acquisition
criteria, the most important of which is that any acquisition should have the
potential of providing significant capital growth thereby creating value for our
shareholders.

Group Results
Asia Capital has exercised careful cost control during the period under review
resulting in an operating loss of just #42,000, compared with an operating loss
of #130,000 in the corresponding period last year. Pre and post tax losses were
reduced to #69,000 (H1 2004: loss of #118,000) and the loss per share was
reduced to 0.08p (H1 2004: 0.14p).

Outlook
We have reached an advanced stage in discussions with one potential acquisition
and look forward to providing an update to shareholders in the near term.

Chairman

Notes to the Interim Report

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2005 are unaudited and do
not constitute statutory accounts in accordance with section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985.

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards and under the historical cost accounting convention.

Accounting policies consistent with those applied in the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2004 have been used in preparing the unaudited
interim financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2005.

2 DIVIDENDS
The Directors are not declaring a dividend for the six months ended 30 June
2005.

3 TAXATION
There is no tax charge for the period due to the loss arising.

4  LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of the loss per share is based on the loss for the period of
#69,000 (30 June 2004 - #118,000; 31 December 2004 - #224,000) and the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the period of 82,302,984. The loss per
share has been calculated based on the reorganised share capital and the 2004
comparative has been restated. A diluted earnings per share is not presented
because the options in issue are non-dilutive.

5 COPIES OF INTERIM RESULTS
Copies of the interim results will be sent to shareholders and will be available
from the company's registered office, 22 Soho Square, London W1D 4NS.
