CHINA WESTERN INVESTMENTS PLC
Interim Accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2008
The report for the period to 30 June 2008 has been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Where necessary
the comparatives have been reclassified or extended from the previous statements to take into account presentational changes. The principle
changes were noted in the Annual Financial Statements at 31 December 2007. The change in year end to 31 December necessitates a change to
the date on which the interim accounts are drawn up.
The group has incurred losses of �0.482 m which is slightly better than the period ended 30th June 2007 (�0.679m). Trading results
before interest were close to break even. Expenses will continue to exceed income due to the interest expense until the Lanzou property is
developed.
The Group continues to seek investors to enable this development to be funded and efforts are ongoing in this regard. Meanwhile,
shareholders continue to maintain loan funds to the Group to support the working capital and interest continues to accumulate of these
loans.

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
This interim report, which is unaudited, was approved by the directors on 23rd September 2008 and has been prepared on a going concern
basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union. As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing this interim
financial information. The accounting policies and the presentation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in
the 2007 Financial Statements. Where necessary, the comparatives have been reclassified or extended from the previously reported Interim
Financial Statements to take into account any presentational changes made in the Annual Financial Statements or in these Interim Financial
Statements as a result of the change in annual reporting date.
The principle change in the basis of accounting has been the removal of the negative Goodwill, previously carried on the consolidated
balance sheet. IAS 38 does not permit negative goodwill and states that this should be credited to the income statement on transition to
IFRS. The prior year profit and loss account has therefore been restated, with a credit of �1,584,000 at 1 April 2006, the date of
transition to IFRS.
The prior year profit and loss account has also been restated for the �5.247m deferred tax charge on the difference between cost and
carrying value of the investment properties including property under construction. The consequent decrease in the opening shareholders'
equity as at 1 April 2006 is shown in note 4. The statutory accounts for the period ended 31 December 2007 upon which the auditors issued an
unqualified report have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
GOING CONCERN
United Kingdom law requires the Company's directors to consider whether it is appropriate to prepare financial statements on the
basis that the Group is a going concern. In considering this matter the directors have reviewed the Groups' budget and its plan for 2008 and
2009. This involved consideration of the cash flow implications of the budget and the plan. The directors see no reason why the Group and
Company should not continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, given the subordinated loan and shareholder loans secured.
For this reason they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Group's financial statements.
2 TAXATION
Taxation for the period ended 30 June 2008 is based on the effective rate of tax which is estimated to apply to the year ended 31
December 2008.
3 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of total earnings per ordinary share is based on the loss after taxation of �0.482m (31 December 2007: �0.921m) and on
the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of 728,375,495 (31 December 2007: 728,375,495).
The calculation of earnings per ordinary share on continuing activities, is based on the restated loss after taxation of �0.921m for the
period ended 31 December 2007 (30 June 2007: �0.679m) and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of
728,375,495 (30 June 2007: 728,375,495).
All activities in the period to 30 June 2008 were classed as continuing.
As the Company has made a loss for the period ended 30 June 2008 no option is potentially
dilutive and hence both the basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
