PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT

TM GROUP HOLDINGS PLC

RESULTS (UNAUDITED) OF THE SECOND QUARTER

ENDED 31 MAY 2003

TM Group Holdings PLC today announced results for the second quarter ended 31 May 2003.

Financial highlights (UK GAAP):

	13 weeks ended		26 weeks ended
	31.05.03	25.05.02	31.05.03	25.05.02
	£ millions

Turnover	160.0	168.2	318.4	333.7

PBIT	5.2	5.2	10.6	9.9

EBITDA	7.9	7.8	15.8	15.2

Turnover at £160.0m was slightly lower than the prior year. The Group has revised the presentation of turnover to reflect the commission only on sales of electronic phone top up which has and continues to develop whilst replacing the existing voucher form.

PBIT at £5.2m was in line with last year with operating profit broadly unchanged.

EBITDA at £7.9m was slightly ahead of last year.

TM Retail

Turnover at £160.0m for the 13 weeks to 31 May 2003 was £8.2m lower than prior year. Under the previous classification of E-top up revenues, turnover would have declined £1.4m to £172.2m in the quarter (£1.8m decline to £341.9m for the year to date).

Same store takings before lottery were 1.4% ahead of last year. This measure was stronger in convenience stores at 2.9% ahead and was an improvement over the first quarter of the year overall.

Operating profit for the quarter before group central overheads and profit on asset disposals was £0.1m lower than prior year at £5.5m. PBIT before group overheads at £5.9m was in line with prior year.

The underlying sales performance was stronger in the quarter compared to earlier in the year. Minerals, grocery and phone top-up continued to grow and performance over Mothers Day and Easter seasons was good. Tobacco sales have improved over earlier in the year and whilst they remain in decline in sales terms, total margins were ahead in this category.

Overall trading margins were also ahead of last year with positive contributions from stronger minerals in particular, as well as tobacco products. Convenience store profitability continued to improve, with a small decline in Newsagent and Variety stores.

The weighted average store base was 2% lower than last year in the quarter.

The number of trading stores at the end of the quarter was 1,204 after 6 net closures. Of the closing base, 316 were classified Convenience stores, 129 Variety stores and 759 Newsagents.

Other

Central overheads for the quarter were lower than last year.

Net interest payable at £4.3m was £0.6m lower than last year, as a result of the debt redemptions in 2002.

Sterling strengthened in the quarter to £1 = $1.65 by the quarter end. This gave rise to an exchange gain on retranslation of the bonds that was significantly higher than the compensating net reduction in value of currency hedges.

Cash flow

Cash inflow from operating activities was £4.3m compared to an outflow of £1.9m last year.

Financing cash movements include the purchase of a six month hedge option on $125m at a strike rate of £1 = $1.55.

Net CAPEX for the quarter was in line with last year at £1.7m.

At the quarter end, cash balances net of a small drawing under the company’s working capital facilities stood at £4.9m.

The matters discussed in this news release include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, economic conditions, product demand, competitive products and services, government regulation, financial resources, certain litigation and other risks indicated in filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Group has revised the presentation of sales arising from the processing of electronic phone top-up transactions, to reflect only the commission earned on these transactions. This has no impact on operating profit. The comparative figures for sales and operating costs have been adjusted accordingly, resulting in a reduction in sales and operating costs of £5,449,000 for the 13 weeks ended 25 May 2002 and £10,059,000 for the 26 weeks ended 25 May 2002.
