FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                           28 February 2006



                  EMERGING UK INVESTMENTS PLC (the "Company")
           Interim results for the six months ended 30 November 2005


Chairman's statement


Results


I am pleased to be able to report that the Company produced a profit before tax
for the six months to 30 November 2005 of #39,000 (loss #202,000 2004). The
profit is attributed to the Company's realisation of its equity holding in Skin
Health Spa plc.


Progress


The Company is currently in the process of realising a further two equity
holdings, Aerodeon Ltd which has now been converted to a public limited company
and Drug Treatment Holding plc. We are confident that this should lead to an
increase in the cash balances of the company.


Outlook


The Company has the objective to maximise its net asset value which currently
stands at 9p per share, a discount to the current share price. We will continue
to actively seek exits for our current investment portfolio and seek value
enhancing investments.


On 30 December 2005 Andy Moore announced his resignation from the Board for
personal reasons, although he remains as a consultant to the Company; I would
like to thank him for all his help in achieving the AIM admission and driving
the company forward, and we wish him well for the future.

Chairman

Notes


1    BASIS OF PREPARATION
     

The Directors approved the interim financial statements on 27 February 2006. The
interim financial information for the six months to 30 November 2005 is
unaudited and has been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in the
statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2005. These accounting policies are
also expected to be adopted in the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May
2006. The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 November
2005 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2005, which
received an unqualified auditors' report, have been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies.


2    COMPARATIVE FIGURES


Interim financial results were not prepared for the period to 30 November 2004
due to the company not being admitted to trading on the AIM until December 2004.
Hence the date of the company's first interim financial results, period ended 28
February 2005, has been adopted for comparative purposes.

4    TAXATION
     

There is no tax liability for the periods reported and no deferred tax asset has
been recognised in respect of the tax losses carried forward.



5    EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER ORDINARY SHARE


The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share is based on profits of
#39,000 (six months ended 28 February 2005: loss of #202,000, year ended 31 May
2005: loss of #616,000) and ordinary shares of 8,914,167 (28 February 2005 and
31 May 2005: 8,860,000) being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue during the period.

EMERGING UK INVESTMENTS PLC


Independent review report to EMERGING UK INVESTMENTS PLC



Introduction

We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for
the period to 30 November 2005 which comprises a profit and loss account,
balance sheet, cash flow statement and associated notes numbered 1 to 12. We
have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with
the financial information.

Directors' responsibilities

The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The AIM Rules of
the London Stock Exchange require that the accounting policies and presentation
applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those adopted in the
AIM company's annual accounts having regard to the accounting standards
applicable to such annual accounts.


Review work performed

We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists principally of making
enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial
information and underlying financial data and based thereon, assessing whether
the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless
otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of
controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing
Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information.


Review conclusion

On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the period ended 30
November 2005.
