HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC
INTERIM REPORT 2017
Chairman's Statement
Dear Fellow Shareholder
The results for the six months ended 31 August 2017 showed a profit before tax of GBP126,000 (six months ended 31 August 2016: GBP102,000 loss; year ended 28 February 2017: GBP407,000 loss).
No dividend has been declared.
Highway has a long history on the London Stock Exchange and has for many years been an investing vehicle in search of a transaction, with the recent suspension occurring as the UKLA deemed that the loans extended to Mylux constituted a reverse transaction.
The company has a single class of ordinary share in issue and has constituted a class of convertible loan notes, of which a small number have been issued.
The Directors strongly believe the retention of the listing is key and would be in shareholders' best interests.
Since the Annual Report, dated 22(nd) February 2018, a number of actions have been taken by the company.
-- In July 2017, the Company issued two convertible loan notes ("CLN") for the aggregate amount of GBP125,000 to unconnected investors. The CLN are repayable 5 years from the date of issue and carry an interest rate of 5% per annum.
Principle Risks and Uncertainties
The preservation of our cash balances remains a principal risk for the Group and we remain committed to maintaining minimal operational costs to ensure that maximum funds remain available to invest in projects.
Additionally, while we are seeking the restoration of trading in the Company's shares, there is uncertainty over the timeline and possibility of this restoration by the FCA.
The Company's business strategy is to identify, evaluate and complete suitable acquisition opportunities. No guarantee can be made by the Directors that such an acquisition will be made.
I will keep you informed on further developments.
L Sobolewski

Notes to the Interim Report
1. Basis of preparation of the interim report
The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2017 has been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2017.
The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2017 has not been audited or reviewed by the auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.
The comparative financial information for the year ended 28 February 2017 has been extracted from the audited financial statements, on which the auditors issued an unqualified audit report, and which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The financial information contained in the interim statement does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
There are no acquired or discontinued operations in the relevant financial periods.
There are no recognized gains or losses other than the profit or loss for the relevant financial periods.
Highway Capital plc is a stand-alone company and does not prepare consolidated accounts. It has therefore continued to prepare its accounts in accordance with UK rather than international accounting standards.

3. Profit/(loss) per share
The profit/(loss) per ordinary share calculation has been based on the profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of GBP126,000 (August 2016: loss GBP(102,000); February 2017: loss GBP(407,000)), divided by 9,590,201 (August 2016: 8,740,201; February 2017: 9,590,201) being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The August 2017 diluted profit per ordinary share calculation has been based on an adjusted profit of GBP130,391 and an adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares of 11,234,367.
There are no discontinued operations in the periods and, therefore the basic and the diluted loss per ordinary share from continuing operations are the same as the basic and the diluted loss per ordinary share.
4. 2017 interim dividend
No interim dividend has been declared.
5. Creditors: due after more than one year
The creditor due after more than one year of GBP474,000 (August 2016: GBP434,000; February 2017: GBP349,000), is made up of the following: (a) GBP30,000 from M Szytko, a director and shareholder, and GBP165,000 from an institutional investor: these loans are unsecured, repayable after two years, and bearing interest at a rate of 5% per annum (if it so wishes, the company can repay the loan or part thereof at any time within the two year period); (b) GBP127,000 from M Szytko, GBP27,000 from D Zych, a director and shareholder, and GBP125,000 from outside investors: these loans are unsecured, repayable after five years, convertible at the holder's request into new ordinary shares in the company at a price of 10 pence per share; in the event that the loan is not repaid or converted prior to its maturity date then it will attract accrued interest at a rate of 5% per annum.
