Interim Results

Crescent Hydropolis Resorts PLC 29 September 2005 Crescent Hydropolis Resorts PLC INTERIM REPORT For the month ended 30 June 2005 INTERIM REPORT Chief Executive's Statement 29 September 2005 Crescent Hydropolis Resorts PLC (CHR), the world's leading developer of ultra- luxury underwater resort hotels and casinos under the Hydropolis design concept first conceived and developed by the German architect and CHR's executive chairman, Joachim Hauser, announces its interim results for the period ended 30 June 2005. The Company had euro4.125.000 in cash at the date of its admission to trading on AIM. The main items of expenditure in the interim accounts relate to the costs of admission and the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred prior to admission. Since then, additional funds have been raised through private placings. These additional funds are being deployed to develop the architectural, design, engineering and feasibility studies for proposed Hydropolis projects. CHR is in active negotiations to launch projects in five locations spanning the globe in both deep and shallow water Hydropolis configurations. In four of the five proposed locations, Landstation towers are planned to accompany the underwater Hydro-Palace structure, thereby enhancing each project's financial feasibility through pre-sales of residential units. Among the proposed locations for Hydropolis properties are Dubai, UAE, as well as locations in North America, along Europe's Mediterranean coastline, in the Indian Ocean and in the Far East. The proposed project for Dubai, while not yet contractually agreed, remains an active and high priority on CHR's roster of planned projects. The Company is presently bringing its Dubai project proposal into compliance with the financing terms and conditions set forth by the Dubai Development and Investment Authority and Dubailand. CHR maintains strong relations with its industrial partners, including Siemens AG, Hydropolis' engineering and technical adviser, Siemens Industrial Building Consultants GmbH, the project manager for each of the proposed Hydropolis properties, Duik Combinatie Nederland BV (DCN), underwater tunnel and concrete experts for Hydropolis' shallow water designs and Ostsee-Kontor, marine and naval consultants on structural design for Hydropolis' deep water Hydro-Palaces. We were pleased to have Siemens Executive Vice President, Joachim Kundt, join CHR's Board of Directors shortly after the Company's listing. As we proceed in executing the Company's business plan, CHR is positioned to develop shareholder value through the implementation of the Hydropolis concept with the announcements of the Company's first actual projects in the months ahead. Mansoor Ijaz, Chief Executive LONDON, 29 September 2005 Contact:- +44 7717 333 137 INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CRESCENT HYDROPOLIS RESORTS PLC Introduction The Board of Directors of Crescent Hydropolis Resorts PLC (the Company) have instructed us to review the financial information set out on pages 3 to 7 and we have read the other information contained in the Interim Report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information. This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have performed. Directors' Responsibilities The Interim Report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the Company's Directors. The Listing Rules of the London Stock Exchange require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed. Review Work Performed We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists principally of making enquiries of group management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Review conclusion On the basis of our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information as presented for the month ended 30 June 2005.

Basis of Preparation The Interim Accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable international accounting standards and the Company's established accounting policies. The Interim Accounts do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of S.240 of the Companies Act 1985. 2. Loss per Share One month ended 30 June 2005 euro'000 Loss for the period from continuing operations (378) Number of ordinary shares in issue during the period 79,375,298 Loss per share Basic (euro0.01) There are no dilutive instruments over the period. The loss per share calculation is distorted by accounting requirements to base the period's loss calculations on a weighted share average. As the majority of the Company's shares were issued midway or later through the accounting period, the weighted share average distorts in a material way the loss per share calculation, a fact that must be taken into consideration when reviewing the Company's financial performance. 3.
