The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the interim statement as
required by the AIM Rules issued by the London Stock Exchange. The interim
statement, including the financial information contained therein prepared and
presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standards 34 -
Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"), is the responsibility of, and has been
approved by the Directors.

 
CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

On 7th September 2007, the Group announced a trading update stating that
revenues for the current financial year would fall below market expectations.
The reasons for this as outlined in the trading update are repeated in the
Financial Summary below. The Directors however do not believe that these issues
detract from the underlying prospects and quality of the business.


Business Summary


Medstar provides private financing to hospitals to solve the funding shortfall
caused by a decrease in state government investment into hospital development.
This comes at a time when demand for radiotherapy equipment is high and cancer
rates in China are rising.  Medstar is able to purchase advanced treatment and
diagnostic equipment and finance the establishment of medical centres. In
return the Group receives revenue through profit sharing leasing agreements
with the hospitals. In addition to this equipment leasing and profit sharing
agreements, the Group also sells equipment directly to hospitals.


The Group was admitted to the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock
Exchange (AIM) in November 2006.
 

There has been a good response from hospitals to the Group's business model as
it aims to minimize the risks associated with setting up a new medical centre.
The Directors believe it also provides the hospital with a fully integrated
operational solution to maximise the returns from the medical centre, while
allowing the hospital to continue to treat patients without the distraction of
sourcing and maintaining equipment.

 
As part of the leasing arrangements, the Group provides a number of management
services to the medical centres following the acquisition/lease of the medical
equipment. This includes system purchase and installation, centre start-up,
operational management and business development.  The Directors believe that
these management services are a benefit to the hospitals which, as state-owned
enterprises, have not previously been operating with a view to generating
revenues. Consequently, their personnel have limited to no experience in
running the business as a revenue generating centre.

 
The ability of the Group to co-ordinate the system installation, provide
detailed day-to-day operational procedures and promote the medical centre to
assist in building its patient base, are services which the Directors believe
are valued by the hospitals. Furthermore, by its involvement, the Group can
seek to ensure the medical centre is being operated profitably and achieves
growth targets which will provide higher returns to both the hospital and the
Group under its profit sharing arrangements.
 

As a service provider to the hospitals, the Group is not involved in the
provision of medical services or in the treatment of patients in the centres,
nor involved in the day-to-day management of the centres, which is the ultimate
responsibility of the hospital.

 


Financial Summary

 
Revenue increased by 10.3% to RMB 31,588,226(2006: RMB 28,641,382) compared to
same period last year, while Gross Profit increased by 5.3%.


During the period, the Group was forced to enter into discussions with a
hospital concerning a default in payment to the Group from an existing contract
with a diagnostic and treatment centre. Due to these discussions, Medstar has
not yet been able to recognise the revenue from this centre of RMB 3,105,766.
As a result of this, both gross and operating margins have been affected as the
cost, but not the revenue, of the centre in question has been recognised. The
Directors are working towards a resolution of this matter and will keep
shareholders informed.
 

In some older centres in operation, revenue has not been increasing as had been
forecast due to the after effects from last year's Ministry of Health
initiative to remove inefficiencies relating to the over treatment of patients.
The result has been that certain hospital administrators are cautious and have
tightened the selection procedure for patients for permitted operations. The
lease revenue from these centres, as a result, has decreased although we are
hopeful of a return to more favourable conditions in due course.

 
Trading margins were also affected due to the slippage of an order of a 64 CT
Scanner, due to a hospital delay in obtaining the permit for acquisition from
the government, but it is hoped that this will be finalised in the second half
of this year.

 
The increase in operating and administrative expenses by 188% to RMB 11,138,419
(2006: RMB 3,873,090) is in part a direct reflection of the increased central
office costs following the admission to AIM. However, as announced in the
recent trading update, the Group is going to institute a cost control programme
to be monitored by the non-executive directors alongside the finance director.
This increase in expenses, coupled with additional medical equipment
depreciation arising from the change in accounting estimate for depreciation,
has led to a decrease in net profit to RMB4,117,020 (2006: RMB 10,450,345) for
the Group in the period under review.

  

Review of Operations



The first six months of the financial year have seen two new centre openings, 
namely the PET-CT diagnostic centre with the Beijing Navy Hospital and a Leksell
Knife centre with Guangzhou 458 Air force Hospital. 

 
There is an encouraging pipeline of further centre openings for the remainder
of the year, with signed contracts for eight diagnostic and treatments centres.
As a result the Directors expect to open six new diagnostic and treatment
centres in 2007 and a further HIFU centre, bringing the total number in
operation to 21 diagnostic and treatment centres and 2 HIFU centres by the end
of the year. In addition, the Group's Trading Division is currently in advanced
negotiations on two equipment sales and will actively pursue additional
opportunities.

 
In addition to the signed agreements for new centre openings in 2007, the Group
also signed key strategic agreements with Toshiba China for the distribution and
leasing of its imaging products, and with GE Healthcare China for its latest
HDeMRI scanner. Discussions are under way with Varian Medical to form a
strategic alliance for distribution of their Linear Accelerators which the
Directors are hoping to finalise in the second half of this year.

 
The Group is actively seeking out further contracts to open diagnostic and
treatment centres and is confident its leasing arrangements will continue to
prove attractive to hospitals lacking the funding to secure radiotherapy
equipment. In addition to the eight signed contracts mentioned, there are a
number of others currently in discussion or with a signed letter of intent. 

 

Outlook
 

As seen before due to the seasonality of the centres' revenue where it would be
lower in the first half of the financial year, mainly due to the major festive
seasons and long holidays such as Chinese Lunar New Year and week-long Labour
Day falling on the first half of the calendar year which usually sees less
patients visiting the centres for treatments, there will be a strong second
half bias to the results. The Directors are hopeful that by focusing on
controlling and where possible, reducing operating and administrative costs
without adversely affecting the Group's expansion plans, the Group can position
itself for strong growth in the second half of the current financial year and
in 2008.
 

Furthermore, the Directors are confident that if the contract discussions in
relation to the default in payment can be resolved, key equipment sales are
made and additional revenue from the new diagnostic and treatment centres is as
forecast, the Group will finish the year in a much stronger position.

signed on the board's behalf by Dr. Cheng Zheng and Yap Yaw Kong.

include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial
statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial

3.     Accounting policies

 

The same accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the most
recently audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December
2006 have been applied to these interim financial statements except that in the
current interim period, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised
standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board ("IASB") and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee ("IFRIC") of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and
effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. The
adoption of the new and revised standards and interpretations did not result in
significant changes to the Group's accounting policies or the amounts or
disclosures in these interim financial statements.

audited and the report dated 22 June 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on

1,532,087 with a corresponding decrease in the profit before income tax of the
Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 and for the financial

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Group's net profit
attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue during the financial period as follows:

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Group's net
profit attributable to equity holders and the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares.

 

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period/year plus the
weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

 

For the financial period ended 30 June 2006, Redeemable Convertible Preference
Shares were assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares.

 

All the 872,853 share options granted on 27 November 2006 did not have a
dilutive effect on the Group's earnings per share as at 31 December 2006 and 30
June 2006 as the average market price per ordinary share of the Company during
the period from the first day of trading on the Alternative Investment Market
of the London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom to 30 June 2007 was below
the exercise price of the share option granted.
