I am pleased to report to shareholders today on the continued growth of your Group, which shows marked improvements throughout all divisions compared with the same period last year.
Corsie's business operates in four distinct markets; sports, leisure, health and beauty.
In June, Corsie announced that its ordinary shares and warrants had been admitted to trading on PLUS. Corsie's principal trading facility will continue to be AIM, and the Board believes that this new avenue of exposure on PLUS will offer opportunities to increase the Group's liquidity and broaden the shareholder base.
Financials
Profit after tax from continuing operations (excluding the exceptional gain of ‚£1.07m highlighted in the period to June 2006) increased from ‚£120,000 to ‚£ 154,000 representing a 28% improvement over the same period last year. Sales from continuing operations increased 12% to ‚£2.22m. Gross profit increased by 25% to ‚£994,000 (2006: ‚£798,000) assisted by a much improved gross margin of 44.7% (2006: 41%).
Balance sheet
The balance sheet for the period shows a marked improvement over the previous 12 months, following the equity fundraising in February and the exceptional gains from the legacy leasehold premises. This has been achieved while the Board continues to invest in a number of key areas within the business. Inventory levels were increased in the period under review to fulfil anticipated growth, investment in sales and marketing increased in the period, and we also completed the necessary investment in new premises which provides the platform to deliver substantial growth.
Exceptional items - Legacy leases
On 7th August the Group announced that its two legacy property leases in Derby and Musselburgh had now been settled in full. Both leases were fully provided for in the balance sheet which will result in a one off (non cash) gain of ‚£ 328,250 this financial year. ‚£178,250 has been released in the accounts to June. The balance of ‚£150,000 will be released in the second half to reflect the timing of the second deed of surrender.
Trading
All trading divisions made good progress in the first half and contributed positively to the Group overhead with the exception of our Spa division. This division was loss making during the first half, but monthly losses are reducing and the Board anticipates a monthly breakeven position to be reached in the second half.
The Sports division, which showed an excellent first half, is anticipated to deliver a record year, exceeding the board's expectations at the start of the year.
The Group's Surfaces division performed in line with management expectations during the first half. Surfaces has a record order book moving into the second half which should convert to strong sales and good cash generation.
Kaloss International Limited ("Kaloss"), a distributor and wholesaler of health and beauty products, acquired last September for a cash consideration of ‚£ 389,000, continues to make good progress in its respective markets and has contributed positively in the period.
Green Tea Zero Ltd
On 17th August the Board announced that it had signed a distribution agreement with Teatech to distribute Jackie Chan Green Tea. A new company (Green Tea Zero Ltd) has been incorporated to handle the distribution agreement for the UK and Ireland. Corsie will hold a 76% controlling stake in Green Tea Zero Ltd which will be managed from Corsie's head office in Haddington.
Jackie Chan Green Tea has been received well in the U.S. market to date, where it has been distributed by TeaTech and the Board believes it is capable of substantial growth in the UK through high street retail stores and supermarkets. Negotiations have already been opened with major UK high street food chains, and the Board is hopeful that positive outcomes from these negotiations will be reached in due course.
The Board continues to review new distribution agreements that are capable of delivering substantial growth and profit improvement as they believe this is an excellent and cost effective way to improve revenue streams.
New IR website
In line with AIM Rule 26, the Company announced on 7 August that it had launched a fully comprehensive Investor Relations section to its website. Visitors can access the site at www.corsiegroup.com.
Outlook
Following the move to Haddington, the business is well placed to support substantial growth and deliver increased shareholder value. The Group has a robust order book moving into the second half which is expected to deliver a strong financial performance.
Your Board's strategy to increase revenue through selective acquisitions and new distribution agreements still remains a key driver.

General information
The interim financial information does not constitute statutory accounts for the purpose of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The figures for the year ended 31 December 2006 have been extracted from the Group audited accounts for that year as adjusted for the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). IFRS implementation adjustments, reconciliations of profit and equity, and related narrative explanations are included within note 8.
The interim financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies and estimation techniques that are expected to apply at the year end. The financial information comprises the financial information of Corsie Group plc (the "Group") for the 6 months to 30 June 2007 ("2007"). The following financial information comprises the accounts of Corsie Group plc an AIM listed company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 1985, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as detailed in note [2] ("the Group").
The principal activity of the Group is the sale and distribution of bowls related products, the supply and maintenance of sport surfaces and the supply of essences to the leisure and wellbeing market.
2. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union as they apply to the financial statements of the Group for the year ending 31 December 2007 and applied in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. The accounting policies which follow set out those policies which will apply in preparing the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2007.
For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group prepared its financial
statements in accordance with United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice (UK GAAP).
These financial statements, for the 6 months 30 June 2007, are the first the Group is required to
prepare in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the
European Union (EU). Refer to note 8 for further details of the transition to IFRS.
The Group undertook a group reorganisation on 5 June 2006. Under this arrangement Corsie Group plc acquired the whole of the issued share capital of Company 91 Limited, formerly Corsie Group Limited by way of a share for share exchange. Corsie Group plc and Company 91 Limited, formerly Corsie Group Limited were controlled, and continued to be controlled, by the same individual. A business combination involving entities or businesses under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. Accordingly, the pooling of interest method has been used to account for the reorganisation with the result that the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the entities had always been combined, reflecting the carrying values of each of the entities and including comparative figures for all of the entities acquired by Corsie Group plc.
The consolidated financial information shows the results, cash flows and balance sheet positions as if the Group had transitioned to IFRS on 1 January 2006.
The consolidated financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for goodwill where fair value is used. The Group financial information is presented in pounds sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (‚£'000) unless otherwise indicated.
The following standards and interpretations have not been applied in the consolidated financial information as, although in issue at the date of preparation, they were not effective for the periods covered by these consolidated financial information:
IFRS 8 `Operating Segments' effective periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009;
IFRIC 12 `Service Concession Arrangements' effective periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008;
IFRIC 13 `Customer Loyalty Programmes' effective periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008; and
IFRIC 14 `IAS 19-The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction' effective periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008.
The directors anticipate that the adoption of these standards and interpretations on or after 31 December 2007 will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial information consolidates the financial information of Corsie Group plc and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December 2007. The financial statements, which have been prepared using the pooling of interest method as described in the basis of preparation which present the results of the Group as if Corsie Group plc had been in existence and had owned Company 91 Limited, formerly Corsie Group Ltd and its subsidiaries for the whole period under review. The results of each subsidiary are included for the whole period in the year it joins the Group.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full.
In the company's financial statements investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost unless, in the opinion of the directors, there has been an impairment in their value, in which case they are immediately written down to their estimated recoverable amount.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
Revenue on the sale of goods is recognised once goods have been despatched. Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised in full as soon as all obligations to the customer are satisfied. Deferred income is recognised for amounts invoiced for contracts not compete at year end.
Goodwill
Business combinations on or after 31 December 2005 are accounted for under IFRS 3 using the acquisition accounting method. This involves recognising identifiable assets (including previously unrecognised intangible assets) and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and excluding future restructuring) of the acquired business at fair value. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recognised in the balance sheet as goodwill and is not amortised. To the extent that the net fair value of the acquired entity's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is greater than the cost of the investment, a gain is recognised immediately in the income statement. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangibles assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life on a straight line basis and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. The amortisation expense on intangible assets is recognised in the income statement.
Amortisation rates applied by the group are:
Customer base 5 years
Software 5 years
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment when that cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of all tangible assets over their expected useful economic life on a straight line basis. The rates generally applicable are:
Plant and machinery 10 - 20 % straight line
Equipment and fittings 10 - 20 % straight line
Motor vehicles 25 % straight line
Impairment of tangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Goodwill is tested on an annual basis regardless of whether any indicators of impairment exist. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
Inventories
Raw materials and finished goods
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and selling costs.
Work in progress
Work in progress is valued on the basis of direct costs plus attributable overheads based on normal levels of activity. Provision is made for any foreseeable losses where appropriate. No element of profit is included in the valuation of work in progress.
Financial assets
Financial assets are cash or a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the entity. In addition, contracts that result in another entity delivering a variable number of its own equity instruments are financial assets.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and recoverable amount. Where the time value of money is material, receivables are carried at amortised cost. Provision is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to recover balances in full. The amount of the write-down is determined as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand. For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.
Overdrafts
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current financial liabilities. Bank overdrafts form part of net cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the Cash Flow Statement.
Leases
Assets held under finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease, with corresponding liability being recognised for the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the reduction of the lease liability and finance charges in the income statement so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Taxation
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, with the following exceptions:
* where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; * in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and * deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undisclosed basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related asset is realised or liability is settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income tax is charged or credited directly to equity if it relates to items that are credited or charged to equity. Otherwise income tax is recognised in the income statement.
Foreign currency
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.
A financial liability exists where there is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset another entity, or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potentially unfavourable conditions. In addition contracts which result in the Group delivering a variable number of its own equity instruments are financial liabilities. Equity containing such obligations are classified as financial liabilities.
Trade and other payables
Trade payables are recognised and carried at their original invoiced value. Where the time value of money is material, payables are carried at amortised cost.
Interest bearing loans and borrowing costs
Obligations for loans and borrowings are recognised when the Group becomes party to the related contracts and are measured initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discounted or premium on settlement. Issue costs in relation to term loans are deducted from the loan proceeds and are charged to the income statement at constant rate over the term of the loan to which they relate.
Retirement benefit costs
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
Share based payments
IFRS 2 requires the recognition of equity settled share based payments at fair value at the date of the grant and the recognition of liabilities for cash settled share based payments at the current fair value at each balance sheet date. All equity settled share based payments are ultimately recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account with a corresponding credit to `other reserves'.
If vesting periods or other non market vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Estimates are revised subsequently if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs for previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognised in the current period.
Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and where appropriate, share premium.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.
Exceptional items
The Group presents as exceptional items on the face of the income statement, those material items of income and expense which, because of the nature and expected infrequency of the events giving rise to them, merit separate presentation to allow shareholders to understand better the elements of financial performance in the year, so as to facilitate comparison with prior periods and to assess better trends in financial performance.
3. Critical accounting assumptions and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management has made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Intangible assets have been calculated on the basis of customers inherited at the time of acquisition. It is assumed that this to be amortised over 5 years.
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are as below:
Impairment of goodwill calculation.
Estimated residual values of all tangible assets.
4. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per ordinary 0.1p share is calculated by dividing the earningsattributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number ofordinary shares in issue during the period, which was 167,041,667 (2006:145,599,544). Profit for Weighted Earnings the year average per share number of shares ‚£'000 ‚£ Year to 31 December 2006 1,187 145,599,544 0.008 Period to 30 June 2006 1,189 86,228,499 0.014 Period to 30 June 2007 332 167,041,667 0.002There is no dilutive effect on the earnings per share as the average marketprice of the ordinary shares during the period was less than the exercise priceof the options and warrants. 5.

For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group prepared its financial
statements in accordance with United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice (UK GAAP).
These financial statements, for the period ended 30 June 2007, are the first the Group is required to
prepare in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the
European Union (EU).
Accordingly, the Group has prepared financial statements which comply with IFRSs applicable for
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006 and the significant accounting policies meeting those
requirements are described in note 2.
In preparing these financial statements, the Group has started from an opening balance sheet as at 1 January 2006, the Group's date of transition to IFRSs, and made those changes in accounting policies and other restatements required by IFRS 1 for the first-time adoption of IFRSs. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Group in restating its UK GAAP balance sheet as at 1 January 2006 and its previously published UK GAAP financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2006, and the year ended 31 December 2006.
Exemptions applied
IFRS 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the general requirement to apply IFRSs as
effective for December 2005 year ends retrospectively. The Group has taken the following exemptions:
* IFRS 3 Business Combinations has not been applied to acquisitions of
subsidiaries or of interests in associates and joint ventures that occurred
before 1 January 2006.
