    Innobox Plc (the "Company" or the "Group")                   

        Preliminary results announcement for the year ended 30 April 2007       

 
Chairman's Statement

I report the Group's results for the year ended 30 April 2007.  The trading
loss for the year, before impairment and amounts written off investments, was £
359,227 (2006: £648,285).  This year we have not needed to make any impairment
provisions against the carrying values of the fixed assets in each of our
subsidiaries, having already made provisions of £500,000 in the previous year. 
The loss for the year after taxation and minority interests is therefore the
same at £359,227 (2006: loss of £1,214,757), which represents a weighted
average loss per share of 0.98p (2006: loss per share of 5.04p).

At the start of the year the Company operated three trading pub and hotel
sites: The Moss Cottage in Ripley, Derbyshire; The Three Tuns in Pettistree,
near Ipswich; and The Royal Oak in Leominster, Herefordshire.  In addition a
development site was owned which was located at Fishmore Hall, Ludlow.  As I
reported last year the Company has continued to experience extremely tough
trading conditions in common with much of the licensed trade sector, and the
directors believe that these market conditions will not improve in the short
term.

As previously announced the Group successfully completed the disposal of the
freehold investment property at Fishmore Hall, Ludlow in April 2007, which was
owned by the subsidiary I F Hotels Limited.  The freehold property was sold at
the asking price of £675,000, but the monies recognised from the sale, after
having repaid the bank mortgage and overdraft, were insufficient to enable all
of the creditors of I F Hotels Limited to be paid in full.  Therefore the
Directors consulted with insolvency practitioners to ascertain the most
favourable course of action that would result in a maximum return to
creditors.  The subsidiary I F Hotels Limited then proposed entering into a
Company Voluntary Arrangement, which was agreed and approved by members and
creditors on 13 July 2007.

Also during the year the Company converted The Three Tuns pub from a managed
house to a tenancy under a three year agreement to private tenants.  The
tenancy agreement provides for an annual rental income of £34,800.  At the time
of entering into the tenancy agreement the Board successfully negotiated with
the bank for a capital repayment holiday in respect of the mortgage on this
site.

The Board recognised the need for the Company to be able to raise finance and
the decision to reorganise the share capital was made and subsequently approved
at an EGM held on 9 October 2006.  Whilst the Directors have the authority to
raise finance, we have been reviewing the strategy of focusing on the licensed
trade sector and have made a decision to try and exit this sector at the
earliest opportunity.  The Directors are currently reviewing the options for
this exit strategy and further announcements will be made in due course.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues and our
employees for their hard work during this year and under continued difficult
trading conditions.

Notes to the Preliminary Results for the year ended 30 April 2006

1 Accounting policies                                                  

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable 
accounting standards and under the historical cost convention.

At 30 April 2007 the Group*s balance sheet reflects a net current
liability position. The Group meets its day to day working capital 
requirements through overdraft facilities which are repayable on demand.
The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period following
the year end to 31 October 2008.  The nature of the Group*s business
is such that there can be significant unpredictable variances in cash flows. 
However the Directors confirm that the Company is prepared to provide 
the necessary financial support to meet any shortfall in the Group*s 
cash position that may occur, without any legal obligation to do so. 
The Directors believe that the Company will have the necessary resources
to meet this commitment by raising funds by way of an equity fundraising 
in order to meet any shortfall in the Group*s cash position that may occur
in the period to 31 October 2008 and by the contribution due from the CVA 
dividend of £55,297.64 which was received on 25 October 2007 following the 
sale of one of the Group*s freehold properties. The success of the equity 
fundraising is subject to significant uncertainty. Should it be delayed there 
will be significant doubt as to the ability of the Group to continue as a 
going concern which may result in the Group being unable to realise its 
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

On the basis of the cash flow information, which is dependent on the success
of the equity fundraising, the Directors have formed a judgement that it
is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
                                       

2 Publication of non-statutory accounts                                
                                                                       
  The financial information set out in this preliminary announcement   
  does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of  
  the Companies Act 1985.  The summarised consolidated balance sheet at
  30 April 2007 and the summarised consolidated profit and loss        
  account, summarised consolidated cashflow statement and associated   
  notes for the year then ended have been extracted from the Group's   
  2007 statutory financial statements upon which the auditors opinion  
  is unqualified and does not contain any statement under section 237  
  of the Companies Act 1985.                                           
  

3 Dividends                                                        
                                                                        
  No dividend is proposed for the year ended 30 April 2007.             
 

4 Loss per share   
                                                     
  The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss on  
  ordinary activities after tax and minority interests and on the      
  weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.  The   
  impact of share options is anti dilutive.  The loss and weighted     
  average number of shares used in the calculations are set out below:
