HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC

INTERIM REPORT 2020

Chairman's Statement

Dear Fellow Shareholder

2020 has had a difficult start to the year but the Board has expended considerable time and effort on seeking to ensure the continuation of the business after lockdown.  Based on discussions with potential acquisition targets over the summer, the Board is optimistic that the Company's shares will be relisted on a public market shortly and will keep shareholders informed on developments.

The results for the six months ended 31 August 2020 showed a loss before tax of £148,000 (six months ended 31 August 2019: £127,000 loss; year ended 29 February 2020: £293,000 loss).

No dividend has been declared.

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 2020 has been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements for the year ended 29 February 2020.

The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2020 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 29 February 2020 has been extracted from the audited financial statements, on which the auditors issued an unqualified audit report, 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.

2.         Operating loss

3.         Profit/(loss) per share

The profit/(loss) per ordinary share calculation has been based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of £148,000 (August 2019: loss £127,000; February 2020: loss £293,000), divided by 11,490,201 (August 2019: 9,590,201; February 2020: 11,490,201) being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.  There is no difference between the basic and the diluted loss per ordinary share, as any adjustment would be anti-dilutive.

There are no discontinued operations in the periods and, therefore the basic and the diluted profit/(loss) per ordinary share from continuing operations are the same as the basic and the diluted profit/(loss) per ordinary share.

4.         2020 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 £466,000 (August 2019: £703,000; February 2020: £215,000), is made up of the following: £31,000 from B Patnaik, a director, £70,000 from D Zych, a shareholder and former director, and £365,000 from outside investors. These loans are unsecured, repayable after five years, convertible at the holder's request into new ordinary shares in the company at a price of 5 or 10 pence per share; in the event that the loan is not repaid or converted prior to its maturity date then it will attract accrued interest at a rate of 5% per annum.

6.         Share capital

7.         Related party transactions

As at the balance sheet date, there are loans to the company of £31,000 from B Patnaik, a director of the company, and £255,000 from N Mayster, a director and shareholder of the company.  The terms of the loans are interest at 5% and this is considered reasonable.

No other related party transactions were undertaken as such that are required to be disclosed under FRS 102.
