    For Immediate Release
    7 August 2008

    TSE Group plc
    ("TSE" or "the Company")
    Interim Results 

    For the first six months of the year I am delighted to report a substantial improvement in the Group's fortunes. Group revenue increased
by 48% to �611,875 from �414,094, on a comparable basis, and a profit before tax of �54,976 was generated.

    These results vindicate the Board's decision last year to acquire Swiss-based TSE Consulting SA, a management consultancy business
operating at the highest levels of the international sports market, particularly in the current uncertain economic climate. Operating within
the growing sector of major international sporting events and with a considerable amount of the company's business being generated from
local, regional and federal governments around the world, the Directors believe that the Group's business is well positioned to minimise the
impact of any economic downturn.  

    During 2008 the company has increased its contracts providing strategic consultancy to the United States Olympic Committee, the
organisation leading Chicago's strong bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games which will follow the London Olympics. The company has also
continued to work with a number of the major governing bodies for sport throughout the world including the International Association of
Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the European Football Association (UEFA) for whom it is now commencing an intensive consultancy skills
training programme within its Head Offices in Switzerland. The company's Istanbul office is working with the Turkish Golf Federation in
their bid to host the World Team Championships in golf and its United States office has recently reached over the border and commenced
working with the city of Monterrey in North East Mexico, on their longterm sports event strategy.

    The growth of TSE Consulting SA through international expansion and acquisition remains our core strategy and during the second half of
this year the Company is planning to open two further regional offices in the Middle East and South East Asia. In addition, the company
continues to progress a number of acquisition and joint venture opportunities. 

    The Directors are confident about the outlook for the continued growth of the Group during the remainder of the year and beyond. In
particular the Beijing Olympic Games later this month will enable TSE to meet with its core governmental and sports federation clients and
to develop further new business opportunities for this year and 2009.

    Chairman
