HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC

INTERIM REPORT 2018

Chairman's Statement

Dear Fellow Shareholder

The results for the six months ended 31 August 2018 showed a loss before tax of GBP70,000 (six months ended 31 August 2017: GBP126,000 profit; year ended 28 February 2018: GBP54,000 profit).

No dividend has been declared.

As set out in the announcement on 22 September 2016, the trading in the shares remained suspended. Although neither loan constituted an acquisition for the purposes of the Listing Rules under which the Company operates, the UK Listing Authority informed the directors in September 2016 that they considered that making the loans fundamentally changed the strategic direction of the business away from its stated aim to find an acquisition that would enhance shareholder value. As a result, the Ordinary Shares were suspended from trading on 22 September 2016.

Any lifting of the Suspension would require the reversal of the loan, and the Company has taken steps to complete this process.

Since the Annual Report, dated 8 March 2019, a number of actions have been taken by the company.

   --    On 30 April 2018, the Company received a loan repayment of GBP4,000 
   --    On 15 May 2018, the Company received a loan repayment of GBP2,000 
   --    From 6 June 2018 to 14 June 2018, the Company received a loan repayment of GBP163,914 

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.

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 2018 has been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2018.

The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2018 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 2018 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.

   2.         Operating loss

   3.         Profit/(loss) per share 

The profit/(loss) per ordinary share calculation has been based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of GBP70,000 (August 2017: profit GBP126,000; February 2018: profit GBP54,000), divided by 9,590,201 (August 2017: 9,590,201; February 2018: 9,590,201) being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. There is no difference between the basic and the diluted loss per ordinary share. 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 profit/(loss) per ordinary share from continuing operations are the same as the basic and the diluted profit/(loss) per ordinary share.

   4.         2018 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 GBP312,000 (August 2017: GBP474,000; February 2018: GBP474,000), is made up of the following: (a) GBP30,000 from M Szytko, a director and shareholder, and GBP2,000 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 GBP126,000 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.

   6.         Share capital
