HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC

AUDITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2012

Chairman's statement

Results for 12 months ended 29 February 2012 show a loss before tax of £93,105 (2011: £92,933 loss).

The company had cash in the bank and in hand of £136,199 at the balance sheet date. The board does not consider it appropriate to declare a dividend.

At the last AGM, Mr Drummon, the previous Chairman, indicated that he was pleased the three largest shareholders, Mr Rowan (29.9%), Mr Szytko (28.8%) and myself (4.98%), were all present, as the existing structure, with two shareholders each holding in excess of 25% meant that the board's hands were tied, as any proposals needed both of these parties to be in agreement.

Following the meeting the board invited Messrs Rowan, Szytko and myself to join the board. Whilst Mr Rowan declined to do so, Mr Szytko and I agreed to do so and were appointed on 19 September 2011, and following this restructuring Mr Drummon and Mr Perloff resigned from the board.

Since his resignation in September 2011 the company has been informed that Howard Drummon has sadly passed away and the company extends its condolences to his family.

The board has continued to explore opportunities to increase shareholders' value, unfortunately, none has yet proved suitable. We will continue to work with both major shareholders to identify an acceptable target and will inform you of any developments.

Directors' responsibility statement

Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss for that period. In preparing those accounts, the directors are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- follow applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for the system of internal control, and for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The directors are also responsible for ensuring that all information relevant to the audit has been made available to the auditors.

Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also responsible for preparing a directors' report, directors' remuneration report and corporate governance statement that comply with that law and those regulations.

The directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief:

- the accounts in this document, prepared in accordance with applicable UK law and accounting

standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and loss of the company; and

- the business review and management report in the directors' report includes a fair review of the

development and performance of the business and the position of the company, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces.

Notes to the accounts

Year ended 29 February 2012

Basis of accounting

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

Highway Capital plc does not prepare consolidated accounts and the directors have therefore continued to prepare its accounts in accordance with UK rather than international accounting standards, as permitted under EC Regulation 1606/2002.

Going concern

After reviewing the company's budget for 2012/2013 and its medium term plans, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

Consolidation

At 29 February 2012, Highway Capital plc was a stand-alone company and is therefore not required to prepare consolidated accounts.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on all fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight line basis over its expected useful life.

Stocks and work-in-progress

Stocks and work-in-progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is provided in full at appropriate rates in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes, if those timing differences are not permanent and have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date. The deferred tax balance has not been discounted.

Finance leases and hire purchase commitments

Assets obtained under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful economic lives.

The interest element is charged to profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the finance leases or hire purchase contracts.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease period.

Foreign currencies

Profit and loss account transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling and recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

Turnover

Turnover represents management fees receivable.

4. Directors' remuneration

Information relating to directors' emoluments is included in the directors' remuneration report on pages 6 and 7.

The company has estimated losses of £896,000 (2011: £803,000) that may be available for carry forward against future profits, and estimated capital losses of £1,460,000 (2011: £1,460,000) that may be available for carry forward against future chargeable gains. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in the accounts in respect of these unrelieved losses.

7. Loss per share

The loss per ordinary share calculation has been based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of £93,105 (2011: loss £92,933), divided by 7,945,638 (2011: 7,945,638), being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. The basic and the diluted loss per ordinary share are the same.

There are no discontinued operations in either period 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.

8. Investments

The company currently has no investments.

The company had no bank loans or overdrafts existing at the beginning or end of the year.

13. Deferred taxation

The estimated deferred tax asset not recognised in the accounts, based on a 24% rate of tax, amounts to £565,000 (2011: based on a 26% rate of tax £588,000). Of this amount, £350,000 may be recoverable by the company against future chargeable gains, and £215,000 may be recoverable against future profits.

Howard Drummon, non-executive Chairman until he resigned on 19 September 2011, was a consultant to, and until 11 June 2008 was a director of, Keith, Bayley, Rogers & Co Limited, the financial adviser and stockbroker to the company. In the year ended 29 February 2012, Keith, Bayley, Rogers & Co Limited received retainer fees of £10,000 (2011: £10,000) and website set up and maintenance fees of £1,000 (2011: £1,667).
