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.

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 2014 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 2013 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 2013 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 :-
