Half-yearly results for the six months ended 30 June 2009
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I report on the Group's results for the interim period 1 January 2009 to 30
June 2009.
Results and dividends
The loss after taxation for the six month period amounted to GBP256,000 (six
month period ended 30 June 2008 - GBP701,000) and the loss per share was 0.07
pence (six month period ended 30 June 2008 - 0.19 pence). The directors do not
recommend the payment of a dividend.
Trading
Although the Group's revenues and gross margins have improved compared to the
same period in 2008, the Group has continued to generate operating losses. The
Group's core procurement services are beginning to show signs of revenue growth
as customers enter into new budgetary phases, although gross margins remain
tight due to competition for orders. The Group's rental division currently has
27 pieces of heavy equipment leased out to customers and this area continues to
be a relatively small but stable profit centre. Our ground work to obtain
orders in the oil sector continues, but after two years we are still waiting
for our first order in this area, although negotiations are progressing very
slowly.
Outlook
In my statement dated 30 June 2009 covering the Group's financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2008, I reported that, in addition to cutting
Group costs, in line with many AIM quoted companies, serious consideration was
being given to de-listing the Company from AIM. The Board have subsequently
concluded that de-listing is in the best interests of shareholders. A circular
is due to be posted to all shareholders shortly outlining the Board's rationale
for proposing the de-listing, together with a notice of general meeting at
which shareholders will be asked to approve the proposal which, to be passed,
must be approved by at least 75 per cent of the votes cast on the resolution.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
1. Reporting entity
EXC plc (the "Company") is a company registered in England and Wales. The
condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six
month period ended 30 June 2009 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries
(together the "Group").
2. Statement of compliance
This interim financial report has been prepared on the basis of the recognition
and measurement requirements of IFRS in issue that are either endorsed by the
EU and effective (or available for early adoption) at 31 December 2009.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2008,
which were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 June 2009, as it
provides an update of previously reported information. The comparative figures
for the year ended 31 December 2008 are not the company's statutory accounts
for the financial year.
The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2008 were derived from
the statutory accounts for that year which have been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies. Those accounts received an unqualified audit report which did not
contain statements under sections 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the
Board on 30 September 2009. The financial information contained therein for the
six month period ended 30 June 2009 and similarly the six month period ended 30
June 2008 has neither been audited nor reviewed.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies used in the presentation of these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008.
4. Estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting
policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those
that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2008.
5. Operating segments
The Group operates in a sector where no significant seasonal or cyclical
variations in revenues and operating results are experienced during the
financial year.
Subsequent to the close down of operations of David Conrad (International)
Limited during the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group is currently
organised into one operating subsidiary, Excalibur Ventures Limited, and its UK
holding company EXC plc. This is the basis on which the Group reports its
primary segmental information. In the table below, all revenues are generated
by sales to external parties.

discontinued operations

Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number
of ordinary shares in issue assuming conversion of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares. The Company's potential ordinary shares consist of share
options. Due to losses in the current and preceding periods there are no
dilutive ordinary shares.
8. Dividends
No dividend is proposed for the six month period ended 30 June 2009. No
dividend was paid in or proposed for the year ended 31 December 2008.
