Chairman's Statement
Introduction
As you know, your Company's shares remain suspended pending the resolution of a possible reverse takeover of the Company. The transaction, which will be outlined in a Prospectus, is structured as a Conditional Offer which will be made to acquire the minority interests in T.I.S. Holdings Limited and PDL Acquisition Limited together with the proposed acquisition of a minimum amount of PATF TEPs. I am sorry to say that there continue to be delays, primarily as the result of the need to obtain regulatory clearances in a number of different jurisdictions. Not all of these clearances have been obtained and consequently it has been decided to publish the Interim Report and Accounts before the publication of the Prospectus. Since the Company has effectively only two assets: cash and a majority shareholding in T.I.S, there has been no material change in the Company's position since the date of the publication of the Annual Report and Accounts. The trading prospects for Promethean both for the period to December 31st 2013 and indeed since then were and continue to be effectively those of the TIS Group. There has been substantial expenditure on professional fees for the period under review and four-fifths of this has been incurred in respect of the proposed reverse takeover, which are underwritten by TIS in the event that the transaction does not proceed.
The process has been lengthy, partly because of the specialist nature of TIS's business and I am sorry that the proposed transaction has taken so long despite the remarkable efforts of both the TIS staff and the various professional advisers who have been involved. Our thanks are due to all of them for their efforts.
We continue to proceed on the basis that the necessary regulatory consents will be obtained in the near future but there can be no certainty of that and one has no way of speeding up regulatory clearances. Nonetheless, at the time of writing and in the Directors' opinion, the proposed transaction remains in the interests of the Promethean PLC shareholders and we shall continue to pursue it to a conclusion.
In the meantime and as always, my fellow Directors and I are available to speak to shareholders and to answer any questions which may arise.
Sir Peter Burt

Independent review report to Promethean plc
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31 December 2013 which comprises the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group Statement of Financial Position, the Group Statement of Changes in Equity, the Group Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory notes 1-2. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report which comprises only the Chairman's Statement and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in ISRE (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half yearly financial report in accordance with the AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with the basis of accounting described in note 2.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31 December 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange and the basis of accounting described in note 2.
