TINCI HOLDINGS LTD
INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
Tinci Holdings Ltd. (the "Company" or "Tinci") (TNCI), the AIM
quoted environmental engineering company, today announces its
unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June
2012.
Highlights:
-- Turnover of RMB 21.8 million against RMB 22.3 million in the
first half of 2011.
-- Difficult market environment continues to restrict available
new projects. Two new projects
won just before half year end.
-- Loss before tax of RMB 0.44 million (2011 Profit before tax
of RMB 0.75 million).
-- Company concentrating on developing Flue Gas Desulphurisation
("FGD") joint ventures in niche markets, in particular with China
Oil.
Commenting on the results David Steeds, Chairman, said;
"The first six months of 2012 were once again challenging for
Tinci's core FGD business with new business difficult to win at
reasonable margins. However, the management team continues to work
hard to cut costs to reflect the reduced sales.
We were delighted to win the contracts totaling RMB 75 million
with XinFa and JingYuan which were announced on 25 June.
The management continues to work on a number of joint ventures
with our established partners in niche markets, particularly with
China Oil. We will report to shareholders as and when progress is
made in developing these joint ventures."

Overview of Operating Performance
Trading in the first half of 2012 was at a slightly lower level
than in 2011 but strong control of costs has limited the impact on
profit and a small loss is being reported in these results to 30
June 2012. During the period the Company won two new contracts
which were announced on 25 June 2012:
-- A contract for FGD with ShanXi XinFa Chemical Co. Ltd for RMB 65 million
-- A contract to retrofit nitrogen oxide removal with Jingyuan
2(nd) Electric Power Co. for RMB 10 million.
In the difficult market environment the Company again found it
hard to win new customers at reasonable profit margins.
As reported previously, the Company management has concluded
that it is unlikely to expand its business
simply by offering FGD in power plants, where it is in
competition with the power companies' in-house
FGD subsidiaries. The Company intends instead to focus its FGD
business in China on the petrochemical
sector, building on its good relations with China Oil as well as
existing clients with established and reliable relationships.
The Company's Order Book at 30 June 2012 adjusted for the late
contract wins noted above amounted to RMB 99 million compared to
RMB 46 million at 31 December 2011.
Future Developments
Trading in the first half of the year is typically lower than in
the second half and 2012 is expected to follow the same pattern.
Early indications are that trading in the second half of 2012 will
be ahead of the first half and the result for the whole year is
expected to show a small profit, although it is too early to
provide a clear prediction of the financial results for the full
year. Operating cash flow is expected to be marginally positive for
the full year.
Meanwhile, the Company will continue to concentrate its
resources on developing its various joint
ventures, particularly its catalytic refinery project with China
Oil, in the hope of achieving a breakthrough in
one of these new businesses while maintaining a stable income
from FGD in the current year.
Financial Performance
Revenue in the first half of 2012 decreased by 2% from RMB 22.3
million in the same period of 2011 to RMB 21.8 million; loss before
tax was RMB 0.444 million compared with a profit before tax of
RMB0.752 million for the same period last year.
The main reason for the decrease in sales revenue and net loss
was the decrease in FGD activity and in
new projects won.
Operating cash flow was negative in the first six months of 2012
due to a large reduction in accounts
payable in the period. The outflow of RMB 0.7 million compares
with an outflow of RMB 15.3 million in the
comparative period.
The Company intends to improve its financial performance by
focusing on collecting receivables, cutting
costs, and improving project management.
Outlook
The Board expects the difficult conditions in the FGD market to
persist through the remainder of 2012 and
into 2013. The Company will continue to concentrate its efforts
on:
-- Developing FGD joint ventures in niche areas with established customers/partners.
-- Developing its investment in JiangSu AnDy in speciality
chemical products, which is meeting its internal targets for its
first year of operation
-- Promoting co-operation with China oil on a catalytic refining project
-- Cutting costs and improving receivables collection
-- Improving project management with effective budgeting and cost control.
