Notes:
1 This interim report was neither audited nor reviewed by the auditors. It was
authorised for issue by the board on 18 March 2008. It has been prepared using
accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the statutory
accounts for the year ended 30 June 2007.
2 The calculation of earnings per share is based on a loss of £76,502 (2006:
£11,631 profit) being the profit after taxation and after deducting preference
dividends, and on 13,168,100 ordinary shares of 5p each (2006: 13,168,100).
3 This statement is being sent to shareholders in due course. Further copies
are available from the Company's registered office at 7 Queripel House, 1 Duke
of York Square, London SW3 4LY or via the company's website
www.grholdingsplc.co.uk
4 The interim results do not constitute the statutory accounts within the
meaning of s240 of the Companies Act 1985.
5 The board is advised that as at 31 December 2007 the company was a close
company within the meaning of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.
G.R (Holdings) plc
The pre-tax loss of the group for the period was £76,502 (£11,631 2006 -
profit).
During the period, the group was engaged in (a) the manufacture and sale of
Morlands footwear, sheepskin car rugs, and other products, (b) transactions
involving property and (c) investments.
At 31 December 2007, we were still involved as a limited partner in four
partnerships in land in the USA. There were no disposals during the six months
to 31 December 2007.
During the period, a small parcel of land was sold by a property company in
which Mintbay Limited, a group subsidiary, has a 50% interest. This sale
resulted in our share of the profit of £38,854.
In January 2008, the group disposed of a flat located in the City of London for
a net consideration of £599,254. The flat had previously been revalued in the
accounts at £400,000.
On 24 January 2008, the company redeemed all of the Second Cumulative Preference
shares.
Overall, I am still pessimistic regarding the trading position of the group.
The board has decided not to declare an interim dividend (2006 - nil).
