acceleration of top-line growth.

Commenting on the results, Simon McGivern, Chief Executive

"ILA Group has made considerable progress, with sales rising
four-fold compared to the last six months and operating losses
reducing by over 35%. Most importantly, ILA's distribution
footprint is increasing rapidly, with the Company's products now
selling in over 20 countries worldwide. In line with group
strategy, product ranges are increasing organically (through new
product development) and by acquisition. As such, we were pleased
to announce the acquisition of Premium Factory shortly after the
period end. This brings a new range of products, new manufacturing
capabilities and new distribution channels, most notably giving an
immediate introduction to multiple retailers, including Asda and
Sainsbury's, where contracts are in place."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to say that the Company has made significant
progress in the past six months and this has continued into the
current financial period. We have seen strong organic growth and
this is now enhanced by the acquisition of Premium Factory.
Financial performance
Revenue for the six months to 31 December 2010 was GBP646,995
(six months to 30 June 2010: GBP136,105) and the total loss for the
period before exceptional items was GBP378,818 (6 months to 30 June
2010: GBP598,752).
Current trading and prospects
Trading has continued strongly in the first half of the
financial year. The Directors are committed to delivering long term
growth through the delivery of four main strategies:
1. Increasing distribution channels (both domestically and
through international sales channels).
2. Development of cost efficient marketing strategies with core
marketing partner, BBH
3. Increasing branded product ranges.
4. Actively looking for suitable acquisition targets
The Board is confident that this can be achieved by the
continued hard work of the management team which includes Sir
Richard Greenbury and which Gordon Black CBE has recently joined as
an adviser. We believe that we will see a sharp rise in turnover
from both existing and new products in the second half,
complemented by a steadily growing distribution network.
The outlook for the next six months, and looking further ahead,
is very positive and the Directors remain confident that the
business plan can deliver sustained growth in what is a specialist
market.

1. Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The interim financial statementsThe interim financial statements
of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010, which are
unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting
policies set out in the annual report and accounts for the year
ended 30
June 2010, which were prepared under International Financial
Reporting Standards
("IFRS").
The financial information contained in the interim report does
not constitute statutory accounts. The financial information for
the preceding period is based on the statutory accounts for the 6
months ended 30 June 2010. The Auditors' report for the 6 months
ended 30 June 2010 was unqualified.
As permitted, this interim report has been prepared in
accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and not in accordance
with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Therefore it is not
fully compliant with IFRS.
As a result of the application of Amendments to IAS 1
Presentation of Financial Statements: A Revised Presentation the
Group has elected to present a single Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income. Previously the Group presented an income
statement only, with movements in other comprehensive income
recognised as part of total recognised income and expense in the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. In
addition, certain primary statement titles have changed in order to
align with the terms used in IAS 1. The Amendment does not change
the recognition or measurement of transactions and balances in the
financial statements.

attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
The calculation of diluted loss per share is based on loss per
share attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares that would be in issue, assuming
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary
shares.
Reconciliations of the loss and weighted average number of
shares used in the calculations are set out below:
