INTERIM RESULTS

FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

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 2011.

Highlights:

-- Turnover down to RMB 22.3 million from RMB 36.7 million in the first half of 2010.

-- Difficult market environment continues to restrict available new projects but one new project won in the period.

-- Profit before tax of RMB 0.75 million (2010 Loss before tax of RMB 3.6 million).

-- Company concentrating on developing Flue Gas Desulphurisation ("FGD") joint ventures in niche markets, in particular with China Oil aimed at China's petrochemical industry.

-- The Company is acquiring a 22.5% shareholding in JiangSu AnDi Chemical Co. Ltd, a manufacturer of speciality chemicals for a total of RMB13.64 million of which RMB4.9 million has been paid.

Commenting on the results David Steeds, Chairman, said;

"The first six months of 2011 were yet again challenging for Tinci's core FGD business. However, the management team has worked hard to cut costs on reduced sales.

The management continues to explore a number of possible joint ventures with our established customers and partners in niche markets, particularly with China Oil. We will report to shareholders as and when progress is made in developing these joint ventures.

The team behind JiangSu AnDi are well known to the Tinci Board and we look forward to working with them to develop the company."

Overview of Operating Performance

As expected, trading in the first half of 2011 was at a lower level than in 2010 but strong control of costs has resulted in a small profit being reported in these results to 30 September 2011. During the period the Company won one new contract with Jiulong Quanzhou worth RMB 15 million. In the difficult market environment the Company again found it hard to win new customers.

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 and to work on developing processes involving the production of re-usable by-products, such as sulphuric acid, as its main line business.

The Company's Order Book at 30 June 2011 amounted to RMB100 million compared to RMB 105 million at 31 December 2011.

In September the Company invested RMB 4.9 million in JiangSu AnDi Chemical Co. Ltd. This company is developing speciality chemical products for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Tinci now owns 22.5% of this new associate company.

Future Developments

Early indications are that trading in the second half of 2011 is expected to show a similar pattern to the first half, although it is too early to predict the financial results for the full year. However, operating cash flow is expected to be marginally positive for the full year.

Since the half year end, the Company has agreed to subscribe a total of RMB13.64 million in cash for a 22.5% shareholding in JiangSu AnDi Chemical Co. Ltd, a private company in China set up by Mr Kang Hongjie the CEO and major shareholder. Of this sum, RMB 4.9 million has been paid in September and the balance is due by 31 December 2011. Tinci invested alongside a private Chinese investor, who invested on the same terms. The funds will be used to finance the development of JiangSu AnDi.

The management of JiangSu AnDi, led by Mr Kang, is well known to the Tinci Board and has been successful in developing other chemicals businesses. Tinci's Board and senior management are primarily chemical engineers and this is a sector that they are familiar with. Mr Xu, Tinci's CEO, will represent the Company on the Board of JiangSu AnDi; he will not receive any remuneration from JiangSu AnDi.

For the remainder of 2011 the Company expects FGD sales to slow as it further adjusts its business direction and focuses its FGD business in China on the petrochemical sector.

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 2011 decreased by 39% from RMB 36.74 million to RMB 22.3 million in the same period of 2010; profit before tax was RMB 0.752 million compared with a loss before tax of RMB 3.56 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 2011 due to a large reduction in accounts payable in the period. The outflow of RMB15.3 million compares with an inflow of RMB 28.3 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 2011 and into 2012. 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 AnDi in speciality chemical products

-- Promoting co-operation with Sinopec on a catalytic refining project

-- Cutting costs and improving receivables collection.

-- Improving project management with effective budgeting and cost control.
