INTERIM REPORT 2014

 

Chairman's Statement

 

 

Dear Fellow Shareholder

 

The results for the six months ended 31 August 2014 showed a loss before tax of £53,000 (six months ended 31 August 2013: £49,000 loss; year ended 28 February 2014: £104,000 loss).

 

No dividend has been declared.

 

Highway is a "cash shell" and the board continues to identify and evaluate target companies as it seeks opportunities to maximize the value of the company. In the meantime, the company continues to keep expenditure to a minimum in order to preserve its cash resources. The company had cash at bank and in hand of £18,000 at 31 August 2014. The largest shareholder has confirmed their continued support for the company and we are discussing the funding of continuing working capital by way of a further loan.

 

We have been notified by our accountants and auditors Littlestone Golding that they are able to continue to perform accountancy work for the company, but due to regulatory requirements now have insufficient resources to perform the role of auditor. The company will appoint another auditor in due course.

 

Shells have been rather out of favour in recent years, but with the resumption of positive economic activity we have started to receive serious enquiries. We continue to believe there is value in a clean shell on the LSE and will report any news in due course.

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 2014 has been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2014.

 

The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2014 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 2014 has been extracted from the audited financial statements, on which the auditors issued an unqualified audit report with an emphasis of matter, 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, as permitted under EC Regulation 1606/2002.

The loss per ordinary share calculation has been based on the losses attributable to ordinary shareholders of £53,000 (August 2013: £49,000; February 2014: £104,000), divided by 8,740,201 (August 2013: 7,945,638; February 2014: 8,313,530) being the average of the issued share capital during the period.

 

There is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share.

 

 

4. 2014 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 £30,000 (August 2013: £150,000; February 2014: £30,000), is an unsecured loan from M Szytko, a director and shareholder, repayable after 2 years and bearing interest at a rate of 5% per annum.
