Chairman's Statement
I am delighted to be able to report a 38% increase in retail sales. This
dramatic improvement is the direct result of the significant investment we
continue to make in our unique brand. We expect that sales will continue to
grow as we begin to reap the full benefits of our newly refurbished flagship
store at 14 Savile Row and our significant investment in brand marketing.
This week has seen the completion of our new menswear store within 14 Savile Row
and I am delighted to report that significant progress has already been made in
our bespoke menswear where, as well as dressing several Sky News Presenters, we
have also reached exclusive marketing agreements to provide our visiting
tailoring service to executives within Tower 42 and Nomura International Bank.
We are also in discussion with other potential partners in this area.
Our new Hardy Amies fragrance for women has been well received by press and
customers and is currently also on sale throughout the Space N.K. network of
cosmetics stores. It is the intention of the Board to follow this success by
signing a new international cosmetics licensing deal with a major fragrance
distributor and to work with them to develop Eau de Toilet versions for both men
and women, for wider sale both in the UK and internationally.
Our international licensing income is up 4% and this week sees the conclusion of
a new sub-licensing deal for Hardy Amies underwear in South Korea. We are also
in discussion with several potential new licensees for both Hardy Amies and
Norman Hartnell, both in the UK and overseas.
Gross Profit is up 12% and we expect this to further improve as our highly
profitable licensing income increases.
BMB are making strong progress with their diffusion line for Hardy Amies
menswear, which they expect to launch at 14 Savile Row in January of next year,
for sale throughout the UK from Autumn/Winter 2006.
The new Hardy Amies advertising campaign is currently featured in a selection of
fashion magazines from Vogue to Esquire and has proved a great success with our
traditional customers as well as with the press and new customers. The
significant increase in our Administrative Expenditure this year begins to
reflect our increased investment in marketing and advertising, as well as
all-important investment in our trademark portfolios.
We will continue to invest in your brand, with a view to making it a stronger
and stronger platform from which to execute profitable licensing deals. Thank
you all for your continued support and I look forward to seeing as many of you
as possible at our forthcoming AGM.

Notes to Financial Statements
for the period 1 January 2005 to 30 June 2005
1. Accounting policies
1.1. Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention
and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
The company has consistently applied all relevant accounting standards.
1.2. Basis of of preparation
The financial information in this report has been reviewed by the company's
auditor, but is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within
the meaning of section 240 (3) of the Companies Act 1985. Statutory
accounts for the year ended 31 December 2004, upon which the auditors gave
an unqualified report, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
1.3. Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the accounts of Hardy Amies plc
and all its subsidiary undertakings made up to the accounting reference
date each period. The combination with Royal Parks Enterprises Limited has
been recorded under the principles of merger accounting and the combination
with all other subsidiary undertakings has been recorded under the
principles of acquisition accounting.
Turnover and profits arising on trading between group companies are
excluded.
1.4. Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have
originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or
events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay
more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax, with the following
exceptions:
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors
consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable
taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing
differences can be deducted. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted
basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which
timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
2. Loss per share
The calculation of the loss per share is based on the consolidated loss
after tax for the period of #448, 913 (30 June 2004: loss #201,953 and
year ended 31 December 2004: loss #665,436) and on 89,591, 867 (30 June
2004: 42,961,169 and 31 December 2004: 44,264,457) ordinary shares of 1p
each.
The calculation of the fully diluted loss per share is based on the loss as
above and on 89,591,867 (30 June 2004: 52,553,403 and 31 December 2004:
49,267,846) ordinary shares of 1p each being the weighted average number of
shares in issue and share options and warrants available, during the
period.

Factors that may affect future tax charges
No deferred tax asset has been recognised in the accounts for the year
ended 30 June 2005 on the grounds that there is insufficient evidence that
this asset is recoverable. This assumption is based on the financial
projections and the recent performance of the group as a whole. The group
has an unrecognised deferred tax asset of #2,470,457 (30 June 2004:
#2,000,000 and 31 December 2004: #2,372,246) in this respect.
The deferred tax asset would become recoverable if the group started to
make sufficient taxable profits to allow the brought forward losses to be
utilised.
The deferred tax asset is based upon the unrelieved trading losses of the
group and timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the
balance sheet date.

REVIEW REPORT BY THE AUDITORS OF HARDY AMIES PLC TO THE
DIRECTORS OF HARDY AMIES PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information
set out on pages 2 to 9 and we have read the other information contained in
the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein,
is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The AIM
Rules require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the
interim figures should be consistent with those that will be adopted in the
company's annual accounts.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin
1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists
principally of making enquiries of group management and applying analytical
procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and
based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation
have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review
excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of
assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore
provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not
express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six
months ended 30 June 2005.
