Interim Results

Caldwell Investments PLC
26 September 2003


CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


Results


The Group continues to make progress.


First half trading shows a small pre-tax profit of £11,149 (2002: pre-tax loss
£99,078) and turnover up over 30% at £3,365,090 (2002: £2,534,749).


Underwear Business


The underwear business has traded steadily and should we have seasonal weather
in the autumn we would hope for an improvement on 2002 turnover.


In the Chairman's statement in the Annual Report,  I stated our intention to
close our UK manufacturing activity in Bolton and concentrate the underwear
business solely on importing.   This closure took effect in June.


Nina Parasols


A sunny summer helped to achieve buoyant sales.   However, overall turnover for
parasols was down on the previous year as we took the decision to cease supply
to a large customer with whom we could not achieve a satisfactory margin.   The
business continues to add new customers and we will work to replace the lost
turnover with new business at a workable margin.


NinaSun Canopy


NinaSun recently exhibited its sun canopy at the International Outdoor Furniture
Fair in Cologne (SPOGA).


Great interest was shown in the sun canopy and additional distribution
arrangements were agreed in principle relating to Belgium, Dubai, India, Italy,
Japan and the United States of America.


NinaSun were also approached by seven original equipment manufacturers of
outdoor leisure furniture from Greece, Italy, Morocco, Spain (two), Sweden and
Turkey , who expressed interest in NinaSun producing a sun canopy for their own
product.


These developments should have a positive impact on the Group's results in 2004.


Property


On 4th September 2003, we announced that following the closure of our
manufacturing activities in Bolton, we had purchased for a cash consideration of
£225,000 a freehold warehouse and office building in Skelmersdale comprising
12,869 square feet, to which Caldwell's UK warehouse and distribution activities
will be relocated.


The Directors consider that the new premises will be more appropriate to an
importing, sales and distribution business.   In addition to Caldwell's existing
activities, the new facilities will be used for the production of NinaSun
canopies.


Further Funding


As mentioned earlier I am pleased to say that at the recent SPOGA considerable
positive interest was shown in the NinaSun canopy.


Further commercial exploitation of the NinaSun canopy will however in the short
term, require additional funding.  To help finance this funding, your Directors
have decided to utilise the authorities given to the Directors at the Annual
General Meeting to allot new shares for cash, and to arrange a placing of up to
1,500,000 shares as soon as is practicable.   A formal announcement concerning
the placing will be made in accordance with the Listing Rules as soon as
appropriate arrangements have been put in place.


Prospects


All parts of the Group's business continue to make positive progress.


The Company is delighted with the commercial response to the NinaSun canopy and
continues to believe that the large potential market for this product will
provide exciting opportunities for the Group.
