HIGHWAY CAPITAL PLC

INTERIM REPORT 2012

Chairman's Statement

Dear Fellow Shareholder

The results for the six months ended 31 August 2012 showed a loss before tax of £54,000 (six months ended 31 August 2011: £41,000 loss; year ended 29 February 2012: £93,000 loss).

No dividend has been declared.

Highway Capital remains a cash shell. Efforts have been made to find a suitable target to reverse into the company but there is the need for the two largest shareholders to agree on any deal put forward.

The company has value as a fully listed shell, but has a dwindling amount of cash to support itself as an entity. The board is considering various options to remedy this, and I hope to communicate with you further on this in due course.

The reason that the company's cash is running low is simply due to the fact that, over the last ten years, successive major shareholders have either failed to introduce strong prospective companies to reverse into Highway, or have failed to agree on potential ones.

Last year I was invited to join the board as Chairman and tasked with finding a solution to this situation, which continues to this day. I own only 5% of the company's shares, and am therefore unable to break any impasse that may occur. However, I am mindful that the board has a very important duty to ensure the best outcome for Highway Capital's shareholders and I hope you will support me and the board in the coming months as we attempt to resolve all these issues by using our powers to execute a sensible strategy.

D Wheatley Chairman

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 2012 has been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements for the year ended 29 February 2012.

The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31 August 2012 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 2012 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, as permitted under EC Regulation 1606/2002.

3. Loss per share

The loss per ordinary share calculation has been based on the losses attributable to ordinary shareholders of £54,000 (August 2011: £41,000; February 2012: £93,000), divided by 7,945,638 (August 2011 and February 2012: 7,945,638) being the average of the issued share capital during the period.

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