AWG Services PLC 31 July 2003 31 July 2003 AWG SERVICES PLC ('the Company') Interim Results for the six months ended 30 April, 2003 Chairman's Statement Results I am pleased to be able to report the results for six months ended 30 April 2003. In the six months ended 30 April 2003 your Company made an operating loss before exceptional items of £103,860 (30 April 2002: £133,193) on turnover for the period of £2,656 (30 April 2002: £32,269). There were no exceptional items in the result for the period (30 April 2002 results included £524,504 of exceptional items of which £494,504 related to narrow boat disposals.) The Directors do not propose the payment of a dividend (2002: £Nil). Current Trading The Company has negligible current trading activities. Strategy The directors have continued to focus their efforts on identifying a suitable acquisition, which, given the Company currently has no trading activities, is likely to be classified under the AIM Rules, as a reverse takeover in view of its size and will therefore be, subject to shareholder approval.

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. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The Listing Rules of the United Kingdom Listing Authority, with which the directors have chosen to comply in preparing this interim statement, 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. 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 six months ended 30 April 2003.
