Unaudited Interim Statement
For the six months to 28 February 2015
Corporate activity
The Company has been an investing company since August 2014 and accordingly has continued to reduce its operating costs. The Tunbridge Wells head office was closed in December 2014.
As previously announced, in December 2014, I was required under Rule 9 of the City Code to make a general offer for those shares in Armour that I (and persons deemed to be acting in concert with me) did not already own. This offer period ended on 20 February 2015. Hawk Investment Holdings Limited now owns 47.9% of the issued share capital of the Company, whilst the concert party together owns 64.6%.
The Company was granted a court order on 18 February 2015 to perform a capital reduction, by cancellation of the share premium account and the deferred shares of 9 pence each. The effect of this capital reduction is set out in Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholder Equity.
Outlook
The Company continues to seek opportunities that will enhance shareholder capital growth and income. The Company's objective is to generate an attractive rate of return for shareholders by taking advantage of these opportunities.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
1. Basis of Preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared using the recognition and measurement principles of International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations adopted for use in the European Union (collectively "Adopted IFRS").
The principal accounting policies used in preparing these interim financial statements are those expected to apply to the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 August 2015 and are unchanged from those disclosed in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2014. The financial information for the six months ended 28 February 2015 and 28 February 2014 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory financial statements for those periods.
The comparative financial information for the twelve months ended 31 August 2014 has been derived from the audited statutory financial statements for that year. These financial statements were approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditors' Report on those financial statements was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the Auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not include a statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Board of Directors approved this interim report on 27 April 2015.
2. Business Segments
During the prior year the group operated in the following main business segments:
Armour Automotive: The design, manufacture and supply of products for the in-vehicle communications and entertainment market, this segment was disposed of on 31 March 2015;
Armour Home: The design, manufacture and supply of products into the Hi-Fi, home theatre, home entertainment and office furniture markets, this segment was disposed of on 4 August 2014;
Armour Asia: The sale of Armour Automotive and Armour Home products into Asian markets and provision of supplier support services, including quality control, to the UK businesses, this segment was disposed of on 4 August 2014;

6. Loss per Ordinary Share
The basic loss per ordinary share is calculated using the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial period of 93,627,496 (28 February 2014 and 31 August 2014: 93,627,496).
The diluted loss per ordinary share is calculated using the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial period of 93,627,496 (28 February 2014 and 31 August 2014: 93,627,496). The effect of the exercise of options on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is nil for all periods.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares held by the Armour Employees' Share Trust of 3,424,000 (28 February 2014 and 31 August 2014: 3,424,000) are not included in either the weighted average, or diluted weighted average, ordinary shares in issue during the financial period.
