Aspinalls Online PLC

  The Unaudited Interim Statement of Aspinalls Online plc ("Aspinalls" or "the
                               Company") for the

                         six months ended 30 June 2003





Interim Statement

Six months ended 30 June 2003



As set out in my last Chairman's Statement, and following a strategic review by
the Board, on 16 April 2002 the Company's principal operating subsidiary entered
into agreements to outsource to Golden Palace Limited the management of the
online casino operations formerly operated by the Group, in return for a share
of net revenue.



The unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2003 are attached.
Turnover of #59,000 for the period comprised the share of net revenue derived
from the agreement with Golden Palace Limited, and the net profit for the period
amounted to #10,000. No dividend is proposed in respect of the period.



The net loss for the period ended 30 June 2002 is not comparable, as this
included revenue from the online trading operations, as well as non recurring
costs in connection with the run down of the operations.
