INTERIM RESULTS

FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

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 2013.

Highlights:

-- Turnover of RMB 30.3 million against RMB 21.8 million in the first half of 2012.

-- Challenging market environment continues to make it difficult to win profitable new projects. One major new project won in the half year.

-- Profit before tax of RMB 2.23 million (2012: Loss before tax of RMB 0.44 million).

-- Company continues to concentrate on developing Flue Gas Desulphurisation ("FGD") joint ventures in niche markets, in particular with China National Petroleum Corporation.

Commenting on the results David Steeds, Chairman, said;

"The results for the first six months of 2013 showed a substantial improvement on the corresponding period in 2012. However, it continues to be difficult for Tinci's core FGD business to win new contracts at reasonable margins. The management team has worked hard to cut costs to maintain profit margins.

We were delighted to win a contract for RMB 44.2 million with Wusha Cogeneration in Foshan 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

Trading in the first half of 2013 was considerably stronger than for the same period in 2012. Costs were also kept under firm control so that a small profit is being reported in these results to 30 June 2013.

During the period the Company won one major new contract with Wusha Cogeneration in Foshan. The contract is for the retrofitting of two 300MW FGD plants and has a value of RMB44.2 million.

In the difficult market environment the Company again found it hard to win new customers at sensible profit margins.

As reported previously, the Company's 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 National Petroleum Corporationas well as existing clients with established and reliable relationships.

The Company's Order Book at 30 June 2013 amounted to RMB 91 million compared to RMB 56 million at 31 December 2012. RMB 44 million of the current order book relates to the new contract in Foshan.

Future Developments

Early indications are that trading in the second half of 2013 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, particularly its catalytic refinery project with China National Petroleum Corporation, 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 2013 increased by 39% from RMB 21.8 million in the same period of 2012 to RMB 30.3 million. Profit before tax was RMB 2.23 million compared with a loss before tax of RMB 0.44 million for the same period last year.

Operating cash flow was negative in the first six months of 2013 due to a large increase in accounts receivable in the period. The outflow from operations of RMB 19.4 million compares with an outflow of RMB 0.7 million in the comparative period.

The Company aims 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 2013 and

into 2014. 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.

The principal place of business of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group") is Guangzhou, China.

The interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2013 are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of s.240 of the Companies Act 1985.

   2.     Basis of preparation 

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Group's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2012 annual financial statements.

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

   3.     Significant Accounting Policies 

(a) The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The accounting policies used in the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 except for those described in note 3(b) below.

(b) The International Accounting Standards Board has issued a number of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). In the current period, the Group initially applied the following new and revised IFRS :-

   IAS 19                               Employee Benefits 
   IFRS 10                             Consolidated Financial Statements

   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. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date, and gains or losses arising on retranslation are included in the net profit for period. 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.

For the six months ended 30 June 2013, the foreign operations' financial statements have been translated from GBP and HKD to RMB at the following exchange rates:
