INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
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
2014.
Highlights:
-- Turnover of RMB 66.0 million against RMB 30.3 million in the
first half of 2013.
-- It remains difficult to win profitable new projects. Two
major new projects won in the half year.
-- Loss before tax of RMB 2.03 million (2013: Profit before tax
of RMB 2.23 million) after additional provision of RMB 7 million
against receivables.
-- Company continues to concentrate on developing Flue Gas
Desulphurisation ("FGD") joint ventures in niche markets.
Commenting on the results David Steeds, Chairman, said;
"Turnover for the first six months of 2014 showed a substantial
improvement on the corresponding period in 2013. However, it is
still difficult for Tinci's core FGD business to win new contracts
at reasonable margins. A thorough review of receivables led to an
increase in receivables provisions of RMB 7 million, which has
adversely impacted the result for the period. The management team
continues to keep costs under control so as to maintain profit
margins.
We were delighted to win contracts for RMB 75 million with
Lanzhou Petrochemical Fertilizer Plant and for RMB 29 million with
Baotou Power Plant during the period.
The management continues to work on a number of joint ventures
with our established partners in niche markets, particularly with
China National Petroleum Corporation."

Overview of Operating Performance
Turnover in the first half of 2014 was considerably stronger
than for the same period in 2013. Costs were also kept under firm
control but an increase in provisions against receivables of RMB 7
million has led to a small loss being reported in these results to
30 June 2014.
The Company again found it hard to win new customers at sensible
profit margins. However, during the period the Company won
contracts for RMB 75 million with Lanzhou Petrochemical Fertilizer
Plant and for RMB 29 million with Baotou Power Plant. Work on the
Lanzhou project commenced during the period.
As reported previously, the Company 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 is instead focusing its FGD
business in China on the petrochemical sector, building on its good
relations with China National Petroleum Corporation as well as
existing clients with established and reliable relationships.
The Company's Order Book at 30 June 2014 amounted to RMB 128
million compared to RMB 70 million at 31 December 2012. RMB 70
million of the current order book relates to the two new contracts
outlined above.
Future Developments
Early indications are that trading in the second half of 2014
will be satisfactory 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, in the hope of
achieving a breakthrough in one of these new businesses while
maintaining a stable income from FGD.
Financial Performance
Revenue in the first half of 2014 increased by 118% from RMB
30.3 million in the same period of 2013 to RMB 66 million. Loss
before tax was RMB 2.03 million compared with a profit before tax
of RMB 2.23 million for the same period last year.
Operating cash flow was negative in the first six months of 2014
due to a large increase in accounts receivable in the period. The
outflow from operations of RMB 10.0 million compares with an
outflow of RMB 19.4 million in the comparative period in 2013.
The Company aims to improve its financial performance by
focusing on collecting receivables, cutting
costs, and improving project management.
Outlook
The Board expects the FGD market in China to remain difficult
through the remainder of 2014 and
into 2015. 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 National Petroleum
Corporation on a catalytic refining project
-- Cutting costs and improving receivables collection.
-- Improving project management with effective budgeting and cost control.
