Daniel Levy, Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur plc, said:
"We continue to be ambitious for the Club both on and off the pitch. Off the
pitch, our two major capital expenditure projects are making progress - they
require considerable dedication of resources, both financial and management
time, but will be key to ensuring the future competitiveness and success of our
Club. On the pitch, we have continued to invest in the playing squad and this
period saw a welcome and rewarding turnaround in our performances which we
anticipate should have a positive impact on the financial results for the second
half of the season."

Chairman's Statement
Financial Results
I am pleased to announce the financial results for the six months ended 31
December 2009. Revenue remains broadly consistent at GBP53.5m for the period
(2008: GBP54.9m).
As a result of continued stringent financial management and an associated
reduction in operating expenses for the comparative period, profit from
operations before football trading remained at the same level as the previous
period last year at GBP4.9m.
Media and broadcasting revenues contributed GBP18.6m (2008: GBP18.1m), mainly
through the central FAPL TV rights deal. This contribution is set to grow for
the second half of the year as a result of an increased number of match
selections for broadcast.
Premier League gate receipts rose to GBP10.6m (2008: GBP10.4m) in the first six
months of the year despite a freeze on ticket prices for the season. The
increase is due to the higher category mix of games, with games continually
being played to full or near capacity.
For the first time in four years the Club did not qualify for what is now the
Europa Cup competition and as a result our gate receipts from cup competitions
are down by GBP2.0m. The Club reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup
before going out to Manchester United, the eventual winners. We continue to
progress in the FA Cup and look forward to taking the Club to Wembley for the
third year in a row.
Sponsorship and corporate hospitality income fell by 11% for the first six
months of the year. This is principally due to the fact that we are not playing
in European competition which has resulted in the team playing three less home
Cup games than at this stage last season.
Conversely, our merchandising income has increased by 14% largely due to strong
internet sales and a good start to the season in the Premier League.
Operating expenses before amortisation of intangible assets have fallen from
GBP50.0m to GBP48.6m, despite an increase in player related costs. The stability
of first team management and absence of restructuring costs have assisted in
reducing operating costs. In addition, unrealised foreign exchange losses in
relation to future player transfer payments are significantly lower than in the
prior period.
The Club has continued to invest in three key areas - the First Team squad, site
assembly for the new stadium project and the development of the new Training
Centre.
The Club continues to make a profit at the operating level and importantly this
profit continues to cover all financing costs by a significant margin.
Amortisation of intangible assets has increased to GBP20.0m (2008: GBP16.2m) as
a result of our investment in the playing squad.
Profits on player trading for the six months show a drop to GBP9.4m from
GBP53.4m the previous year, when significant gains were made, in particular on
the sales of the registrations of Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane. This
season, sales during the summer of 2009 were those of Didier Zokora, Darren
Bent, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Chris Gunter.
The increase in amortisation and the decrease in profits on player sales
resulted in a loss for the six month period of GBP6.1m (2008: profit of
GBP27.6m).
On the balance sheet, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment has
risen to GBP113.8m (2008: GBP87.7m) due to the significant investments the Club
has made over the past twelve months in relation to the Northumberland
Development Project and the new Training Centre.
In August 2009, the Club placed 30 million new ordinary shares of 5p each,
raising GBP15.0m to ensure that the Club's cash flow was not affected by the
Northumberland Development Project.
Looking at the balance sheet, the increase in intangible assets from GBP106.8m
to GBP126.6m further reflects the continued investment in the playing squad.
Overall, net assets have increased by 7% from GBP66.5m at 31 December 2008 to
GBP71.0m at 31 December 2009.
On the pitch
Our performances during this period, in particular the manner in which we
started the season, presented the starkest of contrasts to the corresponding
period the previous year which had seen our poorest ever start to a season. In
the current season, our record after four games represented our best start to a
season since 1960-61.
As there had been no overhaul of the squad during the summer transfer window and
no major changes to key positions, these good performances were delivered by a
cohesive and settled team of players.
We strengthened the squad with the addition of Sebastian Bassong, Peter Crouch,
Niko Kranjcar, Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker.
We have enjoyed a period of consistently good performances and remained near the
top of the League and in contention for Champions League qualification.
As has been our policy over the years, we continued to reward players who had
made a significantly improved contribution to the Club with new, extended
contracts.
Pre season the Club participated in the Barclays Asia Trophy, successfully
winning the tournament in Beijing before travelling to Hong Kong where we played
South China. In line with the Club's growth of the brand in further territories,
we signed an international partnership with South China, which will see an
exchange of coaching methods and players.
During the visit to Beijing, the players visited the SOS Children's Village, the
Club's global charity partner.
Off the pitch
Our two-long term projects - the new Training Centre and the Northumberland
Development stadium project - continued to progress.
In September, we held a launch event with key stakeholders, councillors and
media to mark the start of groundworks at the new Training Ground in Bulls
Cross, Enfield. Ledley King, our Club captain, and representatives of each
Academy squad year were in attendance. Six months into the works programme, we
have completed around two-thirds of the ground-levelling and infrastructure work
required, along with the installation of drainage, irrigation systems, access
roads and fencing.
The Future Plans section of our website carries regular updates on the progress
of work as we move the groundworks at the Training Centre forward over the next
two seasons. The Training Centre has already been highlighted as a premier
training venue for both the 2012 Olympics and the World Cup 2018 should the bid
be successful and the proposed new stadium is listed as a possible venue.
In October we submitted an outline planning application for our stadium-led
development. Given the scale and complexity of the Northumberland Development
Project it has required many months of consultation and we continue to work
closely with Haringey Council and statutory consultees to produce the best
possible development for the Club and the locality. It is impossible to put an
exact timetable on this as our main priority is to ensure that it meets all the
necessary criteria to enable us to be successful in gaining planning permission
at Committee stage.
We shall keep all of the Club stakeholders updated regularly as this moves
forward.
Our shirt sponsorship is due for renewal for the 2010/2011 season and we are
currently in discussions with interested parties.
We continue to play an active role in the communities in which we operate. The
Foundation currently delivers 75 programmes across the Boroughs of Haringey,
Enfield and Waltham Forest and this is set to increase as we start to deliver
our S106 obligations in Enfield alongside our Training Centre development. For
the third year running the Club was a key sponsor of the Tottenham Summer
Carnival and the Winter Parade.
During the period Paul Barber resigned from the football club board to join
Vancouver Whitecaps. We thank him for his time at the Club and wish him and his
family well on their relocation to Canada.
Summary and outlook
We continue to be ambitious for the Club both on and off the pitch. Off the
pitch, our two major capital expenditure projects are making progress - they
require considerable dedication of resources, both financial and management
time, but will be key to ensuring the future competitiveness and success of our
Club. On the pitch, we have continued to invest in the playing squad and this
period saw a welcome and rewarding turnaround in our performances which we
anticipate should have a positive impact on the financial results for the second
half of the season.
It has been important that we have operated with strict financial planning and
controls and that any debt we incur as a result of our increased activities is
kept at manageable and prudent levels.
All of our stakeholders would expect that we, as managers of the Club's
finances, balance ambition with the need to ensure the future financial strength
of the Club and looking ahead I am confident that this has and will continue to
be achieved.
Once again I should like to thank our shareholders, supporters and staff who
have continued to demonstrate huge support and loyalty to the Club. As ever, it
is a team effort which positions us well for the future.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2009
1. Basis of preparation
The Group's next annual consolidated financial statements, for the year
ending 30 June 2010, will be prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards adopted for use in the EU ("IFRSs"). These condensed
consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the
recognition and measurement requirements of IFRSs that are effective (or
available for early adoption) in those annual consolidated financial statements.
These requirements are still subject to change and to additional interpretation.
The financial information presented in this interim statement does not
constitute full financial information within the meaning of Section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the year ended 30 June 2009
has been extracted from the statutory accounts for the year then ended which has
been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The audit report on these accounts
was unqualified and did not contain any statements under s498(2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 2006.
The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared using accounting
policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are
followed in the condensed set of financial statements as applied in the Group's
latest annual audited financial statements, except for IFRS 8 which is effective
in the current period. While the financial figures included in this half-yearly
report have been computed in accordance with IFRSs applicable to interim
periods, this half-yearly report does not contain sufficient information to
constitute an interim financial report as that term is defined in IAS 34.
The Board of Directors continually monitor the Group's exposure to a range of
risks and uncertainties, including the success of the First Team, the
development of the new stadium and the current economic downturn. The Directors
believe that these risks and uncertainties are mitigated by, inter alia, the
robust nature of our business with long-term fixed revenues from the key
business areas, notably the FAPL TV deal.
The Board of Directors have undertaken a recent thorough review of the
Company's budgets and forecasts and have produced detailed and realistic cash
flow projections. These cash flow projections, which when considered in
conjunction with the Group's forecast cash and available banking facilities
(some of which fall due for renewal later this year), demonstrate that the Group
will have sufficient working capital for the foreseeable future. Consequently,
the Directors believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future and the financial statements
have been prepared on the going concern basis.
Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been identified by the Board as being the
most significant to the financial statements.
Revenue
Revenue represents income receivable from football and related commercial
activities, exclusive of VAT.
Gate receipts and other matchday revenue is recognised as the games are played.
Sponsorship and similar commercial income is recognised over the duration of the
respective contracts. The fixed element of broadcasting revenues is recognised
over the duration of the football season whilst facility fees received for live
coverage or highlights are taken when earned. Merit awards are accounted for
only when known at the end of the football season.
Player costs and transactions
The costs associated with the acquisition of player and key football management
staff registrations are capitalised as intangible fixed assets. Any intangible
assets acquired on deferred terms are recorded at the fair value at the date of
acquisition. The fair value represents the net present value of the costs of
acquiring players and key football management staff registrations. These costs
are fully amortised on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives,
in equal annual instalments over the period of the respective contracts. Where a
contract life is renegotiated the unamortised costs, together with the new costs
relating to the contract extension, are amortised over the term of the new
contract. Under the conditions of certain transfer agreements, further fees will
be payable to the vendors in the event of the players concerned making a certain
number of First Team appearances or on the occurrence of certain other specified
future events. Liabilities in respect of these additional transfers are
accounted for, as provisions, when it becomes probable that the number of
appearances will be achieved or the specified future events will occur.
Provision is made for any impairment of the carrying value of the playing squad
should the carrying value of the squad as a whole exceed the amount recoverable
from the squad as a whole through use or sale, and where the reduction in value
is considered permanent.
Where a player is not considered to be part of the playing squad a provision for
impairment would be made if the individual player's carrying value exceeds the
amount recoverable through use or sale and where the reduction in value is
considered permanent.
Profits or losses on the disposal of these registrations represent the fair
value of the consideration receivable, net of any transaction costs, less the
unamortised cost of the original registration.
Remuneration of players is charged in accordance with the terms of the
applicable contractual agreements and any discretionary bonus when there is a
legal or contractual obligation.
Signing on fees are charged evenly, as part of operating expenses, to the income
statement over the period of the player's contract. These fees are paid over the
period of the player's contract. Loyalty fees are accrued, as part of operating
expenses, to the income statement for the period to which they relate.
Finance costs
Finance costs of borrowings are recognised in the income statement using the
effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the
borrowing.
In accordance with IAS39 'Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement',
any non-current assets acquired on deferred terms are recorded at the discounted
present value at the date of acquisition. The associated payable is then
increased to the settlement value over the period of deferral, with this value
being charged as a notional finance cost through the income statement.
Similarly any intangible asset disposed of on deferred terms will be initially
recorded at the discounted present value of future receipts and the receivable
is then increased to the settlement value over the period of deferral with this
value being charged as notional finance income through the income statement.
In respect of intangible asset acquisitions, the differing rate at which the
finance cost and amortisation are recognised in the income statement produces a
deferred tax credit. In respect of intangible asset disposals the finance income
recognised produces a deferred tax asset. The adjustments are stated net of
deferred tax.
Property, plant and equipment
Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold property is amortised over the term
of the lease. Other fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis at
annual rates appropriate to their estimated useful lives as follows:
Freehold properties 2% - 4%
Motor vehicles 20%
General plant and equipment 10% - 33%
The Group capitalise costs in relation to an asset when economic benefit from
the asset is considered probable. Assets under the course of construction are
carried at cost and include professional fees. Depreciation commences when the
assets are ready for their intended use.
Land and buildings that are currently held for the Northumberland Development
Project are included within Assets Under Construction. In the event that the
proposed Northumberland Development does not proceed, GBP14.8m (30 June 2009:
GBP11.2m) of professional fees capitalised would need to be written off.
Preference shares
Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares ("CRPS") are regarded as compound
instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. At the
date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the
prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt. The difference
between the proceeds of issue of the CRPS and the fair value assigned to the
liability component, representing the embedded option to convert the liability
into equity of the Group, is included in equity.
Issue costs were apportioned between the liability and equity components of the
CRPS based on their relative carrying amounts at the date of issue. The portion
relating to the equity component is charged directly against equity.
The finance expense on the liability component is calculated by applying the
prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt to the
liability component of the instrument. The difference between this amount and
the interest paid is added to the carrying amount of the liability component.
These statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 March 2010, and
are not audited.
These results were announced to the Stock Exchange on 26 March 2010 and are
being posted to all shareholders. Copies will be available to personal callers
at the registered office,
Bill Nicholson Way, 748 High Road, Tottenham, London N17 0AP.

4. Taxation
A corporation tax credit of GBP2,175,000 (31 December 2008: tax charge
of GBP12,248,000) has been recognised as at 31 December 2009. The credit arises
due to the availability of losses in the current period which can be carried
back and utilised against the adjusted taxable profits of the previous period.
5. (Loss)/earnings per share
(Loss)/earnings per share has been calculated using the weighted average number
of shares in issue in each period.
+------------------------------------+----------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| | Six | Six | |

+------------------------------------+----------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| | | | |
| Diluted (loss)/earnings per share | (5.4p) | 15.7p | 12.9p |
+------------------------------------+----------------------+-------------------+-------------+
There are no ordinary share options outstanding at period end (31 December 2008:
nil). On conversion of the CRPS, the fully diluted share capital at period end
would be 213,862,111 shares (31 December 2008: 183,862,111 shares).
In the period ended 31 December 2009 the CRPS were not dilutive as they would
have reduced loss per share.
6. Contingent liabilities and assets
Under the terms of certain contracts for the purchase of players' registrations
future payments may be due to third parties, dependent on the success of the
team and/or individual players. At the balance sheet date the maximum contingent
liability which has not been provided for was GBP28,097,000 (June 2009:
GBP24,188,000).
Under the terms of certain contracts for the sale of players' registrations
future receipts may be receivable from third parties, dependent on the success
of the team and/or individual players. At the balance sheet date the maximum
contingent asset was GBP20,261,000 (June 2009: GBP12,061,000), none of which has
been recognised.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR PLC
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 2009 which comprises the income statement, the balance sheet, the
statement of changes in equity, the cash flow statement and related notes 1 to
6. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial
report 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 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. Our work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an
independent 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 formed.
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 1, 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 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the group
intends to use in preparing its next annual financial statements.
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 inquiries, 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 2009 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock
Exchange.
