The Board was completed by non-executive directors Dr.Hossein Yassaie, Dr. Martin Knight, Dr. Winston Wong, Dr. Ian McWalter andSerge Grisard.In addition, Toumaz Holdings acquired the remaining shares of Future Waves (UK)Limited ('FW') by way of a share swap and commenced its consolidation into theGroup. Technical achievements included the successful delivery of thetechnology platform for the EUR7.1 million EU-funded collaborative DIAdvisor(TM)Clinical Trial. To target some of the most important emerging markets and further develop itsexisting relationship with Imagination Technologies Group PLC ('Imagination'),Toumaz Holdings also signed a further intellectual property ('IP') licensingdeal. Under the agreement Toumaz Holdings has gained access to Imagination'smarket-leading next generation communication and digital radio multimediatechnologies, including META Series2 and ENSIGMA UCC Series3 IP cores, allowingthe Group to fully exploit the synergy between Imagination's communication andmultimedia IP and Toumaz Holding's unique AMX RF (radio frequency) platformtechnology in System-on-Chips ('SoC'), targeting important and fast-developingconsumer connected-device markets.

In the period, Toumaz Holdings raised a total of 3.5 million before expenses, to fund the Group's development and commercial programmes. Since the period-end, the Group has raised a further 3 million.

The Group made a pre-tax loss of 939,000 (2008: 1,751,000) reflecting theincreased net revenue from Toumaz Technology and its contracts with variouspartners and reduced operating costs. The loss per share was 0.32 pence (2008:0.81 pence)

Toumaz Technology - Healthcare

Sensium(TM) Digital Plaster

One of Toumaz Technology's key objectives for 2009 has been to deliver itsdigital plaster system, based on its core Sensium(TM) technology, for clinicaltrials. At end-August 2009, Toumaz Technology completed the development andpilot batch manufacture of the first digital plasters. Together with associatedsystem software the plasters were ready as scheduled for the commencement ofStage 1 clinical trials at the Imperial College Hospitals in London. The trialsare sponsored by CareFusion Corporation ('CareFusion'), the former ClinicalTechnologies and Services division of Cardinal Health Inc. which was spun outand listed on the NYSE on 1 September 2009. The timely delivery of the plastersrepresents a significant achievement by our committed staff. The relationshipwith CareFusion remains strong; Toumaz Technology: in conjunction withCareFusion, is currently working with US regulatory advisors to determine themost effective way to reduce the time to full commercial release of the digitalplaster systems in US hospitals.

DiAdvisor(TM)

The DiAdvisor(TM) European collaborative diabetes project continues to make goodprogress. The successful delivery by Toumaz Technology of the technologyplatform has enabled the first clinical trials (in France, Italy and CzechRepublic) to be completed and the data is now being analysed. Toumaz Technologyis now working on the new mobile data acquisition platforms for the nextclinical trials. The initial results of the first trials indicate thatDiAdvisor(TM) can deliver its objective of developing a method andprediction-based tool that can vastly improve the lives of millions of insulindependent diabetics throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

Telran

Toumaz Technology has introduced a new ultra-low power wireless chip product,"Telran". The chip is a simplified version of the Sensium(TM) chip; in essence itcomprises the radio transceiver, and whilst arguably the world's lowest powergeneral purpose radio transceiver chip, it also offers low cost connectivity toSensium(TM) devices. In this capacity it is expected to play an important role inSensium(TM) enabled consumer devices that connect individuals in the home tohealth and wellness service providers. Prototype samples and evaluation kitsare now being supplied to customers.

Life Pebble System

The Toumaz Life Pebble body worn monitor has now been CE marked and is now approved for sale throughout Europe as a medical device without further approvals from national regulators.

Future Waves - Consumer Applications

The acquisition of FW and the alignment of strategies across the Group haveallowed FW's management to focus on key customer engagements, higher marginopportunities and cost reductions. Accordingly, a product roadmap review hasled to a cost reduction and improvement programme for Fenix 1, which hasbrought immediate benefits by extending the lifetime of this already successfulproduct and improving its production yields and sales margins. Fenix 1 salesremain focused on current customers, in particular PURE (a division ofImagination). A new programme introducing complete modules from FW, based onFenix 1, is underway, building on FW's earlier development work. The modulebusiness offers higher margins, greater customer loyalty and importantly aninternal "socket" for Xenif, FW's next generation System-on-Chip ('SoC'), as itbecomes available as a full production part in Q3 next year.The design for the latest Xenif device has now been released for prototypemanufacturing, and preliminary work has commenced by the (now combined) Toumaz/FW semiconductor development team to take delivery of the new chip in Q1 nextyear. Discussions with PURE, and other potential customers, indicate that Xenifwill play a key role in a new generation of internet connected radios. Othercustomers and applications for this exciting new chip are being identified.By acquiring FW and consolidating the business with Toumaz Technology,significant cost reductions in FW's operating budget have already beenachieved. FW's Hong Kong and Korean offices have been closed, the main officein Taipei has been downsized and further savings have been created by theintegration of various activities across Toumaz Holdings. In addition, furthercost efficiencies are being produced by the implementation of changes tomaterial supply; silicon manufacturing (foundry) costs are expected to reduce.

Consolidation of Toumaz Technology and Future Waves

The consolidation and rationalisation across the Group have provided immediatebenefits. Semiconductor design for both healthcare (Toumaz Technology) andconsumer (FW) products have been combined in an expanded team in the UK.Building on existing expertise and experience, the consolidated team now hassufficient depth and critical mass to rapidly produce new products. As anindication of the maturing of the business and the power of the core AMxtechnology, a number of the new products under development are improvements andvariants on existing devices. Importantly this allows product families thataddress broader customer needs and higher margin products to be produced atsignificantly lower, incremental costs. Telran and the improved Fenix 1 areexamples of this trend.Concurrently, additional applications engineering for the healthcare andconsumer markets is underway in Taiwan. We are utilising the skill andexperience of the Taiwan team and taking advantage of the proximity to localsubcontractor and supplier bases that are generally cheap, fast and of a veryhigh quality. The new FW modules and the Telran evaluation kits (for ToumazTechnology) illustrate our success in adopting this strategy. At the strategic level, the consolidation has led to a new product roadmap thatdemonstrates; the incremental development of current product lines such asSensium(TM), Fenix 1 and Xenif; the development of product families; and theproduction of innovative integrated products offering seamless convergence ofhealthcare and consumer applications through the relationship with Imagination.

World Technology Awards

The Board is delighted to report that on 16 July 2009 Toumaz Holding'sco-founder and chief executive officer Professor Christofer Toumazou FRS wonthe 2009 World Technology Award ('WTA') in the Health and Medicine category.The prestigious WTA are given in recognition of those individuals and companiesdoing innovative work of "the greatest likely long-term significance" in theirrespective fields. It is worth noting that World Technology Network founder andchairman, James P. Clark, said of Professor Toumazou: "Professor Chris Toumazouis a great example of an extraordinary individual working tirelessly ontechnologies and businesses that are actively creating the future, asexemplified by the pioneering digital band-aid healthcare product now enteringthe market through Toumaz Technology". Other winners included 'Face-book' andYouTube.OutlookAs previously stated in our 2008 Report and Accounts, 2009 is a year ofcontinuing development and progress with the further strengthening of ourexisting partner relationships by timely delivery of milestones and bygenerating opportunities to develop new relationships with key players in ourtarget markets. Significant increases in volume and revenue for product fromboth Toumaz Technology and FW are expected in Q4 2010. The Group expects toreach profitability in 2011; Toumaz Technology revenues are projected to comefrom its existing products - Sensium(TM) chips and digital plasters based onSensium(TM) technology; while FW anticipates building sales from its currentproduct Fenix 1 and its new Xenif chip, which will go into production in Q32010. Both businesses have key partners in place to underpin sales growth(CareFusion and PURE). The technology programmes remain on track and we are already realising thebenefits of the consolidation. For the remainder of 2009, our focus willcontinue to be on our core customers, CareFusion and PURE, for the healthcareand consumer markets. Furthermore, we will continue with our planned programmeof investment in product development and generating new commercialopportunities.Sir Richard Sykes FRSChairman25th September 2009 STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2009 Unaudited Unaudited Six Six months months Audited ended ended Year ended 30 June 30 June 31 December Note 2009 2008 2008 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 Continuing operations Revenue 2,641 713 2,754 Cost of sales (1,063) (106) (736) Gross profit 1,578 607 2,018

The figures for the year ended31 December 2008 have been extracted from the 2008 statutory financialstatements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain astatement under section 237(2) of the Companies Act 1985, however readersshould note that the report of the independent auditors included an emphasis ofmatter paragraph as follows:

"Emphasis of matter - going concern

In forming our opinion, which is not qualified, we have considered the adequacyof the disclosure made in the principal accounting policies of the financialstatements for the year ended 31 December 2008 concerning the Group's abilityto continue as a going concern. The Group incurred a net loss of 2,235,000during the year ended 31 December 2008. This condition, along with the othermatters explained in the principal accounting policies, in particular therequirement to raise further funding from existing and new shareholders,indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significantdoubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The financialstatements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group wasunable to continue as a going concern."2 ACCOUNTING POLICIESBASIS OF PREPARATIONThe Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands which do not prescribe theadoption of any particular accounting framework. The Board have resolved thatthe Company will follow IFRS and apply the Companies Act 2006 when preparingits annual financial statements.

The principal accounting policies of the Group remain unchanged from those set out in the Group's 2008 annual report except for the adoption of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007) and IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

The adoption of IAS 1 (Revised 2007) does not affect the financial position orprofits of the Group, but gives rise to additional disclosures. The measurementand recognition of the Group's assets, liabilities, income and expenses isunchanged, however some items that were recognised directly in equity are nowrecognised in other comprehensive income, for example translation differences.IAS 1 (Revised 2007) affects the presentation of owner changes in equity andintroduces a 'Statement of comprehensive income'.

The adoption of IFRS8 has not changed the segments that are disclosed in the interim financial statements

critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resultingaccounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actualresults. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causinga material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities withinthe next accounting year are detailed below;

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resultingestimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Theestimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the nextaccounting period are discussed below:

Going concern

The interim report has been prepared on the going concern basis. As detailed inthe section above headed 'Going concern' the preparation of the interim reporton the going concern basis is initially dependent [on fund raising which is notcompleted nor committed.] Therefore, there is some uncertainty over theappropriateness of preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Impairment of assets

The Group conducts impairment reviews of assets when events or changes incircumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverableannually, or in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. Animpairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset is lowerthan the greater of its net selling price or the value in use. In determiningthe value in use, management assesses the present value of the estimated futurecash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from itsdisposal at the end of its useful life. Estimates and judgments are applied indetermining these future cash flows and the discount rate.

Valuations of share options granted

The fair value of share options granted was calculated using a standardmethodology, called the Binomial option pricing model, which requires the inputof highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share price.Because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fairvalue estimate, in the opinion of Directors of the Company, the existing modelwill not always necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair valueof the share options.

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING THE GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management in applying the accounting policies, consider that the most significant judgements they have had to make are whether any impairment provision is required against the intellectual property and goodwill on consolidation and interests in associates.

The accounting for the acquisition of Future Waves (UK) Limited as of the fillacquisition was completed during the period ended 30 June 2009. Management haveaccounted for the acquisition of Future Waves (UK) Limited in one step. At thedate of acquisition, however Toumaz Holdings Limited owned 23.2% of FutureWaves (UK) Limited. This, therefore, constitutes a stepped acquisition and inaccordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations goodwill should be revised at eachstage of the acquisition. The difference in the value of the goodwillassociated with the acquisition if it had been accounted for as a steppedacquisition is not significant and therefore management have accounted for thisas the Company had been acquired in one stage.

3 SEGMENTAL REPORTING

a) Primary reporting format - business segment

As defined under International Accounting Standard 14 "Segment Reporting" (IAS14), the only material business segment the Group has is that of the commercialexploitation of nano technologies.

b) Secondary reporting format - geographical segment

Under the definitions contained in IAS 14 the only material geographic segment that the Group operates in is the UK.

4 LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss attributableto ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares inissue during the period. The impact of the share options and share warrant onthe loss per share is anti-dilutive.

The consideration for thelicense agreement with Imagination Technologies consists of a number ofpayments scheduled over the duration of the Group's development projects. Thefirst of these payments, amounting to US$2.5 million, was settled through theissue off 28,153,153 new ordinary shares in Toumaz holdings Limited on 14 May2009.
