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.

   2.     Basis of preparation 

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Group's unaudited interim financial results. These unaudited interim financial results should be read in conjunction with the 2011 annual financial statements. The accounting policies adopted in preparing the unaudited interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2012 are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings.

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments to the existing standards have been published but have not come into effect for the financial year beginning 1 January 2012:

   4.   Foreign currency 

The functional currency of the subsidiary undertakings is Renminbi ("RMB"), and the presentation currency of the Group is RMB. Transactions in currencies other than RMB are recorded at rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using historical rates, and exchange rate differences arising are classified as equity and transferred to foreign currency translation reserve.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period/year.
