Key Risks and Uncertainties

Foreign currencies: The company deals in a variety of foreign currencies: Continual review of foreign currency movements to ensure company undertakes transactions in the most financially beneficial currency and ensuring the company is not overly exposed in one currency.

Brexit: Changing legislative environment between post Brexit UK and EU may place additional regularity burdens on the company which make it more difficult to operate with EU based companies to investments with Europe: Reviewing strategies to monitor and address the Brexit negotiations and outcomes.

Covid-19: The Pandemic may impact the Company's ability to execute an acquisition. However, the Directors will review, on an ongoing basis, the options for the Company, including raising additional funds.

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 2021 has been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2021.

The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2021 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 2021 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 £136,000 (August 2020: loss £148,000; February 2021: loss £135,000), divided by 11,490,201 (August 2020: 11,490,201; February 2021: 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.         2021 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 £666,000 (August 2020: £466,000; February 2021: £466,000), is made up of the following: (a) £4,000 from B Patnaik, a director, and £1,000 from institutional investors (these loans are unsecured, repayable after two years, and bearing interest at a rate of 5% per annum); and (b) £27,000 from B Patnaik, a director, £70,000 from D Zych, a shareholder and former director, £564,000 from institutional 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); and £200,000 from an institutional investor which is unsecured, repayable after five years, convertible at the holder's request into new ordinary shares in the company at a price of 5 pence per share; and accrues interest of £20,000 up to 31 December 2021 and at a rate of 12% per annum thereafter.
