Chairman and Chief Executive's Statement


Results

The results for Fishworks plc for the year ended 31 July 2007 show a loss
attributable to shareholders of #1,857,381.  This compares with a loss of
#518,673 for the corresponding year ended 30 July 2006.

The Group's business continues to be the operation of the Seafood Restaurant
chain of operating restaurants with traditional on-site fishmongers and cookery
school and a specialist fish supplier called Channel Fisheries.  The Group
currently operates 12 outlets.

Turnover in the year of 2007 was #10,739,714, which is #3,123,224 more than the
turnover for the year of 2006, reflecting the additional outlets opened in the
year and the full year trading on other sites.

The loss for the year represents a loss of 3.99 pence per ordinary share
compared to a loss of 1.60 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 30 July
2006.

Consolidated net assets as at 31 July 2007 amounted to #3,869,197 with cash at
bank of #157,339.


Events during the year

The business experienced difficult trading conditions during the year.

With appointment of a new board and injection of fresh capital during the year
the group has spent 2007 re-structuring and has built a foundation that will
enable the business to develop.  The business has undergone a complete
restructuring and the viability of individual sites has been reviewed.
Extensive changes have been made throughout the operation as part of an overhaul
of the business.

The board would like to extend its thanks to the entire staff of Fishworks and
appreciation for their continued support during this transition period.


Outlook

Since the year end it has been decided to close the Notting Hill site owing to
poor performance and hence its fixed assets have been fully written off in the
year and we are starting a new restaurant opening programme in larger cover
sites with one likely site identified.

In conclusion, your board believes the business has a firm foundation and is
optimistic that it will continue to progress in the current trading year.
