Helesi PLC

("Helesi" or "the Group")

Interim results for the six months to 30 June 2013

Helesi PLC (AIM: HLS), the Greece, Italy and Cyprus based waste management products manufacturer and services supplier announces interim results for the six months to 30 June 2013.

Highlights

-- Group sales revenues remained stable with a slight decrease of 0.17% to EUR9.985 million (H1 2012: EUR10.002 million).

-- EBITDA performance improved by EUR1.45 million with positive EBITDA of EUR0.55 million (H1 2012: EUR0.9 million loss).

-- Losses were reduced by almost EUR1.7 million, EUR6.5 million in H1 2013 (H1 2012: EUR8.2 million)

-- The net debt of Helesi SA is EUR 62.2 million, We are undergoing a negotiation process with the 3 largest creditors of the Helesi SA holding 75% of total debt, namely Piraeus Bank EUR24.9 million, Alpha Bank EUR15 million, and Eurobank EUR6.5 million. The rest of creditors have expressed their will to follow the decision of the 3 most important creditors

Commenting on the results, Sakis Andrianopoulos, Chief Executive of Helesi, said, "Helesi is impacted by recession in Italy and Greece. This year we experienced a slowdown in Cyprus, which shows the first signs of a deep recession. The Greek recession continues, but the potentially disastrous event of default of the Greek state and the "Grexit" scenario are fading away. The Greek waste market is improving but funding problems are a setback for large waste projects. Helesi will continue to focus on exports of plastic products to utilize its production capacity."

Financial Performance

Sales revenues in the six months to 30 June 2013 slightly decreased by 0.17% to % EUR9.985 million (H1 2012: EUR10.002 million), while total revenues slightly decreased as well. Tight inventory control and the change of the sales mix sustained gross margin levels slightly above 50%, same as in the previous year.

Personnel expenses decreased further by almost 0.6 million to EUR2.5 million (H1 2012: EUR3.1 million) and also cost of goods sold was also reduced EUR0.9 million to EUR3.5 million(H1 2012: EUR4.4 million), as result of adjusting staff costs and reducing operational expenses as operations were slimmed down. As a result, the Group realized profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of EUR0.55 million (H1 2012: loss EUR0.9 million). It is the first time that the Group achieved EBITDA profitability after the H1 2011. Interest costs slightly decreased by 7.3% to EUR2.45 million (H1 2012: EUR2.64 million) leading to EUR4.4 million loss before tax (H1 2012: EUR6.3 million). The blended average rate for our borrowings remains at high levels of 7.2% (H2 2012:7.4 %).

Whilst these results demonstrate an improvement, the Group is still loss making and the net debt was EUR 62.2 million and current liabilities exceed its current assets by EUR24 million as of 30 June 2013. The Group's banks have continued to support the business with letters of credit and working capital facilities. The Group relies on its long term relationships and support with domestic banks and its suppliers in order to be able to continue as a going concern. As disclosed below, the Group continues to be in breach of some of its banking covenants. The Group's banks are actively engaging with Helesi on extending the maturity of the Group's borrowings and providing additional funding to facilitate the growth of the business. The directors are confident of obtaining the banks approval to a restructuring in the coming weeks and a further announcement will be made at that time. Helesi's shares remain temporarily suspended on AIM and the directors will also provide an update on this matter when an announcement is made about the debt restructuring. Additional information about the Group's financial position and borrowings are further described in notes 4 and 10.

Dividend

Dividends will resume again once the operating cashflow of the Company improves.

Operations

In plastic products, revenues decreased due to lack of contribution from the Greek market and Italian market. The postponement of various projects in the Greek market, the restriction of credit risk in combination with constrains in new working capital sources held back operations. The structural reform of the Greek State affected also the Services and Vehicles business, and signs of recovery started to appear in the second half of 2012 and continue within 2013. Helesi is building a pipeline of new projects in the Greek market that in case of success, and in the event that funding can be secured, has the potential to benefit from over EUR40 million of revenues in future years.

Outlook

Helesi remains positive for the future once its funding position has been secured. Geographical diversification and product diversification reduces the downside risk of a prolonged recession scenario in Greece. The Group will continue to focus on overseas sales of plastic products, meanwhile taking the necessary steps to improve further all cost areas, and reduce the debt burden. Most importantly, the Group is negotiating with its creditors in order to improve working capital availability, which will enable the Group to realize its export growth potential.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Financial Statements

   1.    Accounting Policies 

These interim financial statements have been compiled and are presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the compilation of the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 and the six months ended 30 June 2013.

Costs that occur evenly during the financial year are anticipated or deferred in the interim financial statements, only if it would be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the financial year.

Income tax expense is recognised based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

   2.    Capital Structure 

The Helesi PLC Group operates an employee share options scheme (ESOS) under which employees of any of the entities forming part of the Group may be given the option to purchase shares of Helesi PLC. These options are exercisable not earlier than three years and not later than seven years after the grant date, at an exercise price which is specified, in Euros, at the time of granting the options.

Details of the share options granted to directors, to date, are set out below:

Elena Paraskeva 37,086

These options were granted on 23 November 2006, were exercisable between 23 November 2009 and 23 November 2013, at an exercise price of 116p, which is the IPO floating price. The options were not exercised by Ms. Paraskeva and as a result, they are not valid any more. The market price of the Helesi PLC shares, on the 7th of December 2013. The Helesi shares have been suspended from trading in the AIM market of the London stock exchange since 26 June 2013 (last transaction was made on the 7th of June 2013).

3. Economic Environment

The Greek economy is undergoing a severe recession for a sixth consecutive year, totalling a decrease in GDP larger than 25% without bearing in mind inflation. It is the worse recession for a country within the EU in peace time. The downgrade of the Greek State has resulted in a liquidity crisis and fall in consumer and business confidence. The Greek state has been forced to implement austerity measures which include Greek budget cuts and the postponement of public sector projects. Banks have generally ceased providing new finance to Greek businesses since 2010 and some foreign banks operating in Greece have been instructed not to undertake "state risk". These factors have resulted in fall in revenues, deteriorating cash flows and increased finance costs.

4. Going concern

As at 30 June 2013, the Group's current liabilities exceed its current assets by EUR24 million (H1 2012: EUR22.8 million) and the Group was in breach of several of its loan covenants. The Group's projections reflect sustainable net operating cashflow, and relies on its long term relationships and support with domestic banks and its suppliers. Helesi Italia is in the process of being divested and as a result, the Group expects not only to adjust productive capacity to current demand, but also to bolster its cash-flow with an amount near EUR2 million in 2014.

5. Earnings per Share

The basic earnings per share in a given period are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the Group by the weighted average number of issued and outstanding shares in that period.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share takes into consideration the options on shares granted to employees of the Group. The equivalent of these share options to shares is quantified by

reference to the exercise price of the options granted and the average listed price (in the accounting period reported upon) of the shares on which the options have been granted.

   6.   Segmental Analysis 

As from 2007, the Helesi PLC Group recognises two business segments: the environmental products segment and the environmental services segment. The financial results and the financial position of these two business segments are set out below.

On 30 June 2013, bank borrowings are secured by fixed charges over the Group's property plant and equipment for amount of EUR63.8 million (H1 2012 : EUR61 million).

13. Contingencies

The construction of one of the two waste transfer stations in Cyprus has not proceeded according to the contract with the Cyprus government as the local community of the original site strongly opposes its construction. In addition during the year, the government terminated the waste management project contracted with Helesi. In accordance with the contract, the Group is entitled to significant compensation for delays, non-performance and/or termination based upon a number of criteria. The Group is presently negotiating the level of compensation that will be finally paid with the appropriate authorities, but no provision has been made in these financial statements as the final figure cannot be determined with any degree of accuracy at the present time.

14. Post Balance Sheet Events

Helesi Italia ceased production operations in 2013. The Group's management is in negotiations to divest its investment in Helesi Italia either by disposing part of its operating unit or to dispose the assets of this subsidiary.
