Interim Results
For the six months ended 31 January 2008
The Board of FishWorks plc, the specialist seafood restaurant group, announces
its interim results for the six months ended 31 January 2008.
Chairman and Chief Executive's Statement
"The first half of this financial year has been a period of challenge and change
for FishWorks.
There has been an intense focus on customer service, execution and delivery.
This has encompassed menu repositioning, staffing structure, training and
development and systems investment to create a robust sustainable model. These
actions are now bearing fruit.
We are delighted that our new format, 98 seat flagship restaurant in Swallow
Street, London, has opened on time and on budget. Within its first four weeks of
trading, it has become our busiest site in restaurant sales and also scored very
highly in customer satisfaction feedback.
Improvement in execution has meant that some of our sites have recorded double
digit growth compared to the same period last year. Even including non
performing sites, we have restored like for like growth to FishWorks, in what
has been a challenging time for the restaurant sector more generally.
We are committed to cutting costs, reducing waste and improving margins
throughout the estate, taking whatever action is necessary to return all sites
to profitability. We are also looking at the possibility of selling non core
assets to reduce debt and provide capital for expansion.
Business Facts
Total sales growth for the period of 1.4% excluding new openings
FishWorks (restaurants) sales growth of 2.7%
Mature estate growth of 9.1% comparing January 08 with January 07
Margin reduced to 61.7% from 62.7% for the same period against a wholesale food
price rise of 7.4%
Provision of �1.49m to cover disposal of leases
Current liabilities down to �2.1m, from �3.0m in July 07 and �4.8m in January 07
Outlook
We believe that the above results, although harder to win and longer to gain
than we intended, have now laid a solid platform for growth and margin
improvement. The successful Swallow Street model has allowed us access to a
number of previously unavailable prestige sites, to roll out similar restaurants
in the future. The Board believes, while trading losses have continued into
2008, that the group will deliver positive EBITDA for the last quarter of this
financial year."

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As explained below the group will be presenting its financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the
first time in the 31 July 2008 full year financial statements. Set out below are the accounting policies
that differ from the full financial statements prepared at 31 July 2007 that management expect to apply
in the 31 July 2008 IFRS-compliant full year financial statements. This Report has neither been audited
nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing Practices Board
(a) Basis of preparation
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 31 January 2008.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC
interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at the time of preparing these
statements (April 2008)
Fishworks plc's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (UK GAAP) until 31 July 2007. UK GAAP differs in some areas from IFRS. In
preparing the consolidated interim financial statements, management has amended certain accounting
methods applied in the UK GAAP financial statements to comply with IFRS. The comparative figures were
restated to reflect these adjustments and also the removal of intra-group trading.
Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition from UK GAAP to IFRS on the Group's
equity and its net income and cash flows are provided in Note 4.
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The information set out in this interim report for the six months ended 31 January 2008 does not
comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 240 of The Companies Act 1985. The interim
report was approved by the directors on xx April 2008.
(b) Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net
profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are
taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.
The Group's liability for current tax is calculated by using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount
of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred
tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which
deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition
(other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction which affects
neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in
subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control
the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled based upon tax rates that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except
when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also
dealt with in equity.
(c) Goodwill
UK GAAP required goodwill to be amortised over its expected useful economic life. Under IFRS, goodwill
is no longer amortised but held at carrying value on the balance sheet and tested annually for
impairment.
FISHWORKS PLC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT (continued)
(d) Employee share options
The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. In accordance with the transitional
provisions, IFRS 2 has been applied to all grants of equity instruments after 7 November 2002 that were
unvested as of 1 August 2006.
The Group issues equity-settled share-based payment transactions to certain employees. Equity-settled
share-based payment transactions are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined
at the grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. Fair value is measured
by use of a binomial model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's
best estimate, for the effect of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
2. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of the loss per share is based on the following profit/(loss) and number of shares:
6 months to 6 months to 31 Year to
January 2007
31 January 2008 31 July 2007

3. TRANSITION TO IFRS
The Group's financial statements for the year ending 31 July 2008 will be the first annual financial
statements that comply with IFRS. These interim financial statements have been prepared as described in
Note 1. The Group has applied IFRS 1 in preparing these consolidated interim financial statements.
Fishworks plc's transition date is 1 August 2006. The Group prepared its opening IFRS balance sheet at
that date. The reporting date of these interim consolidated financial statements is 31 January 2008. The
Group's IFRS adoption date is 1 August 2007.
FISHWORKS PLC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT
4. EXPLANATION OF THE EFFECT OF THE TRANSITION TO IFRS
The following explains the material adjustments on the transition to IFRS.
Goodwill
UK GAAP required goodwill to be amortised over its expected useful economic life. Under IFRS, goodwill is no
longer amortised but held at carrying value on the balance sheet and tested annually for impairment.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets are now required to be shown as non-current assets.
