For further information please contact:- Sue Elaiho, Finance Director Deep-Sea Leisure PLC 0151 357 8804 Roland Cross, Director Broadgate 020 7726 6111 Chairman's Interim Statement During the six months to 30 April 2006, Deep Sea Leisure turnover improved slightly to #2,771 million (#2,750 million - 2005). However, pre-tax profit was down at #267,000 (#309,000 - 2005). No interim dividend will be payable by the Company. An increase of #113,000 in administrative expenses accounted for the decline in pre-tax profits. This was made up of an increase of 33.1% increase in the Company's utility charges and increased depreciation following investment in new visitor attractions, namely the Seal Sanctuary and Octopus Adventure. A new Reef Magic exhibit at Blue Planet is nearing completion and has been designed to give visitors the experience of being immersed in a coral reef. Coral reefs are often called the rainforests of the Ocean and are highly complex marine eco systems which are under threat from both nature and human abuse. The new exhibit of six displays, which includes a central display of captive bred clownfish, will communicate the magic of the world's coral reefs. Two new temporary exhibitions are appearing at Deep Sea World later this year. The first exhibition: 'SHARK! Myths and reality' runs from 1 April until 18 June and the second: 'BBC SEA MONSTERS' is a walking with dinosaurs exhibition that opens on the 24 June until 30 September. The second phase of the new electronic point of sale system will be implemented in the second half of the year. This customer relationship management system will allow both aquariums to develop, maintain and grow relationships with its customers. It is important for repeat visitation to be able to understand our customers' needs and their future requirements and this new tool will enable us to do this much more effectively. The major benefit from the first phrase has been the ability for customers to purchase tickets online. With the new exhibits being opened shortly at both aquariums we are hopeful that visitor numbers will be in line with the second half of the last year.
