Interim Results

Azure Holdings Plc (' Company') Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2005 Chairman's statement In the six months ended 30 June 2005 the Company incurred a loss before and after taxation of £74,000 (2004: £229,000). Because of the lack of cash in the Company, creditors have increased but continue to be supportive. The directors are continuing to keep overheads to a minimum, the expenses being those necessary to maintain the Company's listing on AIM. The board continues to seek an acquisition for the Company. Owing to a technicality, the Company no longer has any authority to issue any of its share capital and will therefore be convening an extraordinary general meeting for this purpose.
