General

Group revenues excluding discontinued operations for the year increased to €39m compared to €33m in 2005 showing an increase of about 18% over last year. However, increased costs resulted in lower margins and EBITDA for the year decreased to €5.2m, before €0.9m provision for loss on disposal of helicopter maintenance business, compared to €5.7m in 2005 for the total operations.

The reverse vending and materials handling business has shown 10% increase in the revenues in real terms. The EBITDA also increased to €2.5m compared with €1.7m for last year. The increase in revenues was mainly due to improved volumes on materials handling business and machine sales. With the addition of the materials handling business we expect steady growth for this business unit in the coming years.

The plastic recycling business performed as expected with about 5% increase in the revenues However the net profit decreased to €0.1m for 2006 (2005 profit €1.5m) with an EBITDA of €2.6m versus €4.3m in 2005. due to very significant increase in raw materials and utilities costs.

The Helicopter maintenance business remained steady and improved its operating profits due to the reduction In costs of about 8%. but the net results were negatively impacted by the exchange losses of €0.6m (2005 gain €0.6m) and €0.3m one time amount for severance provisions. The sale of this unit was completed on 7 March 2008 and as a result a provision of €0.9m for the loss on disposal of this segment has been included in the period.

Subject to compliance with all statutory laws and adherence to the Company by-laws, articles of association and shareholders resolutions, the controlling shareholders Mr Alexandre Bouri and Megatrade International S.A.. have entered into an agreement with Mr Gregory Garvey whereas, Mr Garvey has purchased 10.056.315 shares in Envipco representing 10.74 % of the total outstanding shares of the Company for a consideration of €2.5m (at €0.2486 per share).

Mr Garvey will be granted a further 12.000,000 share option at the strike price of €0.32 per share in the Company as an incentive bonus subject to the key performance target agreed, to be realised on a yearly basis through 31 December 2011. He will be appointed chairman of the management board with full operational responsibility for the reverse vending, related products and services segment of the business.

Mr Alexandre Boun, the current majority shareholder, has agreed to subscribe 30.022.525 new shares at €0.2486 each in the Company, representing about €7.5m (\$11 Om) in cash which would be available to the Company to fund Its initiatives and business plan. This subscription is payable in 3 instalments: €2.0m upon subscription, €2.0m by 15 February 2009, and the balance of €3.5m by 31 December 2009. Such subscription is subject to legal requirements, the rules of the Stock Exchange and the by-laws, constitution and articles of association of the Company. Pending legal formalities. Mr Bouri will immediately be granting loans to the company for it to capitalise on immediate business opportunities.

In the new capital structure, once all the share issues are completed and share options to Mr Garvey are granted, the total number of shares shall become 135.630.336 and include 24,407,811 depositary receipts. The total shares and depositary receipts owned by the parties shall be as follows: Mr Alexandre Bouri 79.98%. Mr Gregory Garvey 16.26% and the public 3.76%.

A performance based incentive tied to a share option plan for executives and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will be implemented within 3 months subject to the usual approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders.

Outlook

With the new leadership and capital increase, we continue to remain optimistic about the future of Envipco. We foresee small growth for 2007 to be followed by greater ones in the future years as we start targeting non-deposit markets where we believe we have a good business model.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ENVIPCO

Principal activities

The Groups pnncipal activities during the year remained the same. These include the following:

  • The design, development, manufacture and sale or lease of reverse vending machines "RVM" as the foundation of recycling systems for the collection and processing of used beverage containers.
  • The provision of technical support. RVM maintenance and accounting services to the retail stores, bottlers and distributors for containers redeemed through these machines.
  • Provision of materials handling services, primarily in the Northeast part of the USA. for containers that are subject to deposits mandated by law.
  • The processing of used PET and HDPE plastics for recycling
  • Operating authorised helicopter maintenance centers for Rolls Royce Allison, Bell Helicopters. Textron. HR Textron and Honeywell in the United Kingdom, Malta and USA. In March 2006 the managing board has earmarked this business unit for disinvestment as it does not fit within the strategy of the Group.

Review of Operations

Reverse vending machines and materials handling

The reverse vending and materials handling business made good progress during the year. Revenues for the year were increased by about 10% in real terms generating an EBITDA of €2.5m compared with €1.7m for last year. The increase in revenues was mainly due to improved volumes and machine sales. Overall margins also improved by about 5.5%. Operating costs were contained and increased only by about 4.5% when compared to last year. With the full integration of the materials handling business we expect steady growth for this business unit. We are making steady progress in developing the non-deposit markets as part of the group's medium to long term growth plans.

Plastic Recycling

The plastic recycling business performed as expected despite some tough market conditions during 2006. Revenues rose by €0.9m to €20m. compared with €19.1m for 2005, but increased raw materials prices and higher utilities costs lowered the margins by about 11%. As a result, the net profit decreased to €0.1 m for 2006 compared with €1.5m for the year 2005. Continuing with its expansion plans the company further invested €2.1m in land and equipment additions during the year. The company will, in the next few years, continue to invest in creating value added products which are expected to develop a bigger market for its products at higher margins.

Helicopter maintenance Business

The Helicopter maintenance business remained steady. Due to reduction in costs, the operating profit increased to €0.4m (2005: - loss €0.1 m). However, the net results were negatively impacted by exchange losses of €0.6m (2005 gain €0.6m), severance provision of €0.3m and an additional provision of €0.9m for loss on the disposal of this segment. The sale of this unit was completed on 7 March 2008. For further details refer to notes 27 and 28.

The Netherlands. Envipco Holding N V. and Subsidiaries ("the Company" or "Envipco") are engaged principally in two sectors: Recycling and Helicopter Engine Maintenance.

Recycling remains the core business of the Company in which It

  • develops, manufactures, assembles, leases, sells, markets and services a line of "reverse vending
  • machines" (RVMs) In the USA, Europe. Australia, South America and the Far East: and • collects or acquires, cleans, processes and resells recycled plastic and derivative products

The Company acquired Posada Holding B.V. in August 1999. which operates through its subsidiaries in approved helicopter maintenance centers in the USA, Malta and the UK for Agusta. Bell, HR Textron. Honeywell/Allied Signal. Parker Stratoflex. Robinson and Rolls-Royce Allison.

These Financial Statements have been authorised for issue by the Board of Management on 8 December 2008 and are subject to approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. All amounts are stated in thousands of euros unless stated otherwise.

Deposit redemption programmes

Under deposit redemption programs, the Company is responsible for the operation of systems to redeem, collect, account for and dispose of used beverage containers. In connection with these programs, participating retailers lease or purchase RVMs from the Company. The Company then acts in a clearinghouse capacity to collect deposits and handling fees on redeemed containers from participating beverage distributors and to distribute deposit refunds and handling fees to participating retailers. Accordingly, deposits and handling fees are not included as revenue and expense in the consolidated financial statements. The Company earns its revenues through leasing and selling machines to retailers and other participants, and through various services provided to distributors and retailers, including container collection, disposition, and accounting services.

Plastics processing programme

The Company operates a plastic processing facility In France, which produces plastic "flake" a product derived from post-consumer plastic beverage containers. The plastic product is sold to various customers for packaging and fiber applications.

(2) Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of Envipco have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. As previous years consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, there is no impact to the Group's accounting policies.

Valuation of assets and liabilities and determination of the result takes place under the historical cost convention. Unless presented otherwise at the relevant principle for the specific balance sheet item, assets and liabilities are presented at face value. Income and expenses are accounted for on accrual basis. Profit is only included when realized on the balance sheet date. Losses originating before the end of the financial year are taken into account if they have become known before preparation of the financial statements. Revenues from goods are recognised upon delivery. The cost price of these goods is allocated to the same period. Revenues from services are recognised In proportion to the services rendered. The cost price of these services is allocated to the same period.

Adoption of new Standards

(a) New standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards effective in the financial year 2006 adopted by the group

IAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits (effective from 1 January 2006). This amendment introduces the option of an alternative recognrtion approach for actuarial gains and losses. It may impose additional recognition requirements for multi-employer plans where insufficient information is available to apply defined benefit accounting. It also adds new disclosure requirements As the Group does not intend to change the accounting policy adopted for recognition of actuarial gains and losses and does not participate in any multi-employer plans, adoption of this amendment will only impact the format and extent of disclosures presented in the accounts.

(b) Standards, Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2007 but which are not relevant to the group

The following standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006 but are currently not relevant to the group's operations:

IAS 39 (Amendment), Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intra-group Transactions (effective from 1 January 2006). The amendment allows the foreign currency risk of a highly probable forecast intra-group transaction to qualify as a hedged Item in the consolidated financial statements, provided that: (a) the transaction is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity entering into that transaction; and (b) the foreign currency risk will affect consolidated profit or loss. This amendment is not relevant to the Groups operations, as the Group does not have any intra-group transactions that would qualify as a hedged Item in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2006 and 2005.

IAS 39 (Amendment) The Fair Value Option (effective from 1 January 2006). This amendment changes the identification of financial instruments classified at fair value through profit and loss account and restricts the ability to designate financial instruments as part of this category. The Group believes that this amendment should not have a significant impact on the classification of the financial instruments, as the Group should be able to comply with the amended criteria for the designation of financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss.

IAS 39 and IFRS 4 (Amendment), Financial Guarantee Contracts (effective from 1 January 2006). This amendment requires issued financial guarantees, other than those previously asserted by the entity to be Insurance contracts, to be initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of: (a) the unamortised balance of the related fees received and deferred, and (b) the expenditure required to settle the commitment at the balance sheet date. Management considered this amendment to IAS 39 and concluded that it is not relevant to the Group.

IFRS 1 (Amendment), first-time Adoption of International financial Reporting Standards and IFRS 6 (Amendment), Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (effective from 1 January 2006). These amendments are not relevant to the Groups operations as the Group is not a first-time adopter of IFRS and does not carry out exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources.

IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (effective from 1 January 2006). IFRS 6 is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 4. Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease (effective from 1 January 2006). IFRIC 4 requires the determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease to be based on the substance of the arrangement. It requires an assessment of whether: (a) fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets (the asset); and (b) the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. IFRIC 4 is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 5, Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds (effective from 1 January 2006). IFRIC 5 is not relevant to the Group's operations.

(c) Standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards not yet effective

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the group's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007 or later periods and which the group has decided not to adopt early. These are:

IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: disclosures and a complementary amendment to IAS 1. Presentation of Financial Statements - capital disclosures (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007). IFRS 7 introduces new requirements aimed at improving the disclosure of information about financial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Where those risks are deemed to be material to the group it requires disclosures based on the infomiation used by key management. It replaces the disclosure requirements in IAS 32 'Financial Instruments: disclosure and presentation'. It is applicable to all entities that report under IFRS.

The amendment to IAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level and management of an entity's capital. The Group has applied IFRS 7 and the amendment to IAS 1 to the accounts for the period beginning on 1 January 2007.

IFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). This standard sets out requirements for the disclosure of information about an entity's operating segments and also about the entity's products and services, the geographical areas in which it operates, and its major customers. It replaces IAS 14, Segmental Reporting. The group expects to apply this standard in the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2009. As this is a disclosure standard it will not have any impact on the results or net assets of the group.

IFRIC 7. Applying the restatement approach under IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 March 2006). IFRIC 7 provides guidance on the application of IAS 29 requirements in a reporting period in which entity identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of Its functional currency, when the company was not hyperinflationary in the prior period. IFRIC 7 is not relevant to the group as none of the group companies has a currency of a hyperinflationary economy as Its functional currency.

IFRIC 8, Scope of IFRS 2 (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 May 2006). IFRIC 8 requires consideration of transactions involving the issue or grant of equity instruments to establish whether or not they fall within the scope of IFRS 2. It applies to situations where the identifiable consideration received is or appears to be less than the fair value of the equity instruments issued. There was no impact on the group's accounts from its adoption.

IFRIC 9. Reassessment of embedded derivatives (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2006). IFRIC 9 requires an assessment of whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative when an entity becomes a party to the contract Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless there is a change In the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which case reassessment is required. There was no Impact on the group's accounts from Its adoption.

IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 November 2006). IFRIC 10 prohibits Impairment losses recognised In an interim period on goodwill and investments in equity instruments and on financial assets carried at cost to be reversed at a subsequent balance sheet date. There was no impact on the group's accounts from its adoption.

IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007). IFRIC 11 requires share-based payment transactions in which an entity receives services as consideration for its own equity instruments to be accounted for as equity settled. This applies regardless of whether tie entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments from another party to satisfy Its obligations to its employees under the share-based payment arrangement. It also applies regardless of whether; (a) the employee's rights to the entity's equity instruments were granted by the entity Itself or by its shareholder(s); or (b) the share-based payment arrangement was settled by the entity itself or by its shareholders). Management is currently assessing the impact of IFRIC 11 on the accounts.

IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008). IFRIC 12 is still to be endorsed by the EU. IFRIC 12 gives guidance on the accounting by operators for public-to-prlvate service concession arrangements. IFRIC 12 is not relevant to the group's operations due lo absence of such arrangements.

IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008). IFRIC 13 is still to be endorsed by the EU. IFRIC 13 addresses sales transactions in which the entities grant their customers award credits that, subject to meeting any further qualifying conditions, the customers can redeem In future for free or discounted goods or services. Management is currently assessing the impact of IFRIC 13 on the accounts.

IFRIC 14, IAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008). IFRIC 14 is still to be endorsed by the EU. IFRIC 14 clarifies when refunds or reductions In future contributions should be regarded as available in accordance with paragraph 58 of IAS 19, how a minimum funding requirement might affect the availability of reductions in future contributions and when a minimum funding requirement might give rise to a liability. Management is currently assessing the impact of IFRIC 14 on the accounts.

IAS 23, Borrowing Costs (revised) (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The revised IAS 23 is still to be endorsed by the EU. The main change from the previous version is the removal of the option of immediately recognising as an expense borrowing costs that relate to qualifying assets, broadly being assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. The Group is currently assessing its impact on the financial statements.

Revised IFRS 3, Business Combinations and complementary Amendments to IAS 27, 'Consolidated and separate financial statements (both effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). This revised standard and amendments to is still to be endorsed by the EU. The revised IFRS 3 and amendments to IAS 27 arise from a joint project with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the US standards setter, and result in IFRS being largely converged with the related, recently issued, US requirements. There are certain very significant changes to the requirements of IFRS, and options available, if accounting for business combinations. Management is currently assessing the impact of revised IFRS 3 and amendments to IAS 27 on the accounts.

Amendment to IFRS 2, Share-based payments: vesting conditions and cancellations (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). This amendment Is still to be endorsed by the EU The Amendment to IFRS 2 Is of particular relevance to companies that operate employee shares saving schemes. This Is because it results in an immediate acceleration of the IFRS 2 expense that would otherwise have been recognised In future periods should an employee decide to stop contributing to the savings plan, as well as a potential revision to the fair value of the awards granted to factor in the probability of employees withdrawing from such a plan. Management Is currently assessing the impact of the Amendment on the accounts.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity are disclosed in Note 3.

The Groups consolidated statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method.

The funds in the cash flow statement consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents can be considered as highly liquid Investments Cash flows in foreign currencies are translated at an estimated average rate. Exchange rate differences concerning finances are shown separately in the cash flow statement.

Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entitles) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial data of Envipco Holding N.V. and the following wholly-owned subsidiaries:

H

The purchase method of accounting Is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed In a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition ove' the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. Inter-company transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated.

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group.

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost The Group's investments in associates Includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) Identified on acquisition.

The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the Income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses In an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, Including any of their unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and Its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary lo ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Joint ventures

The Group's Interests in jointly controlled entities are generally equity accounted for In Its financial statements. Where there is an increase of ownership to more than 50%, then up lo the date of the acquisition the results are equity accounted for and after the date of the increased ownership the results are consolidated.

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of, or that Is classified as held for sale, and

  • Represents a separate major geographical area of operations;
  • Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major geographical area of operations; or
  • Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

The assets and associated liabilities of discontinued operations are classified as held for sale and stated at the carrying amount. The assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered through a sale rather than through continued use. Non-current assets are not depreciated as from the moment they are held for sale.

Segment reporting

A geographical segment is engaged in providing services and products within a particular economic environment, that are subject to risks and retums, that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. This coincides with the Group's internal organisational and management structure and Its internal financial management reporting system. A business segment is a group of operations engaged in providing services or products that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments.

Foreign currencies

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency) The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which Is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Transactions and cash flows in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rale prevailing when the transaction took place. Related exchange rale differences from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange rales are recognised in the income statement.

Balance sheets of entitles that have a functional currency other than the Euro are translated using the closing rates at each reporting dale The income statements of such entities are translated al the average rates during the period. The resulting exchange difference is recognised in currency translation adjustment in equity. When a foreign entity is sold, such cumulative exchange difference is recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. Translation gains and losses on inter-company balances which are in substance a part of the investment in such Group company are also credited or charged to equity Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

Revenue recognition

GenefÉ

Group revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Groups activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax. retums,

rebates and discounts, allowances for credit notes likely lo be sent out. other revenue reducing factors, and after eliminating sales within the Group.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, collectabillty is reasonably assured and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved. When revenue recognition involves the use of estimates, the Group bases Its estimates on historical results taking into consideration the type of client, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Services

The Groups primary service offerings include repairs and maintenance, and pickup and processing. These services are provided on a time and material basis or as a fixed-price contract with contract terms generally ranging from less than one year to three years.

Revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses are incurred. Revenue from fixed-price contracts involving managed services is generally recognised in the period the services are provided using a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. If circumstances arise that may change the original estimates of revenues, costs, or extent of progress toward completion, then revisions to the estimates are made These revisions may result in increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs, and such revisions are reflected in income in the period in which management becomes aware of the circumstances that give rise to the revision.

Product

Revenue from product sales is generally recognised when the product is delivered to the client and when there are no unfulfilled obligations that affect the clients final acceptance of the arrangement. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped, risk of loss has transferred to the client and client acceptance has been obtained, client acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that the criteria specified in the client acceptance provisions are either perfunctory or have been satisfied.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue Includes all direct material and labour costs and those Indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labour, supplies, housing and depreciation costs. The Group performs ongoing profitability analyses of Its service contracts in order to determine whether the latest estimates - revenues, costs and profits - require updating. If. at any time, these estimates indicate that a contract will be unprofitable, the entire estimated loss for the remainder of the contract is recorded Immediately and presented as losses on contracts under provisions.

Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classiflec as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to the Income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Leases where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the leases inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payment The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the finance cost Is charged to the income statement over the lease period using the effective interest method. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term.

Income tax

Deferred mcome tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred Income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that It is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and It is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Groups share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired company at the date of acquisition and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the goodwill of a cash generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount of that segment. The recoverable amount is the higher of the cash generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The Group Identified Its cash generating units as countries as they are the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity sold.

Trade names and customer relationships are acquired intangible assets and are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. They are amortised using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of such assets. Computer software represents purchased software licenses valued at historical cost less accumulated amortisation and direct costs to develop software internally. These costs are amortised over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Intangible assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An Impairment loss Is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds Its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value In use.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. In addition, the cost of leasehold improvements includes the estimated future costs of returning leased facilities to their original condition, if required. Subsequent expenditures that extend the asset's useful life are capitalised Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Land is not depreciated Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values, based on the estimated useful lives of such assets.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Assets under construction will be depreciated once the assets are complete and available for use.

Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of assets as follows:

Buildings 25-40 years
Plant and machinery 3-10 years
Vehicles and equipment 3-8 years

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value, which is generally face value, less an impairment allowance for credit losses when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Inventory

Product inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Spare parts Inventory Is valued at the lower of historical cost, or net realisable value. Appropriate consideration is given to excessive inventory levels, product deterioration and other factors when establishing the net realisable value.

Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

The Company records purchases of its own ordinary shares (treasury shares) under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired shares is deducted from equity until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value Is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as cunent liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs are recognised as interest expenses.

Employee benefit plans

The Group subsidiaries sponsor employee benefit plans which cover substantially all of their employees. Such plan is referred to as defined contribution. A defined contribution plan Is a plan under which the Group companies pay fixed contributions into a separate entity Under defined contribution plans, the Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee sen/Ice in the current and prior periods.

For defined contribution plans, Envipco pays contributions to publically or privately administered funds or insurance companies. Contributions are generally based on fixed amounts of eligible compensation and the cost for such plans is recognised based on employee service.

Government grants

Government grants received on capital expenditure are generally deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset purchased. Grants for revenue expenditure are netted against the cost incurred by the group. Where retention of a grant is dependent on the group satisfying certain criteria, it is Initially recognised as deferred income. When the criteria for retention have been satisfied, the deferred income balance is released to the consolidated income statement or netted against the asset purchased.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation

Deferred income

In some of the Group's services contracts, the Group bills the client prior to performing the services resulting In the recognition of deferred income on the consolidated balance sheet.

(3) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors. Including estimates and assumptions concerning the future that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period In which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected The main areas for which the use of different estimates and assumptions could cause material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are discussed below

Deferred tax v

The Group recognises deferred tax assets for loss carry-forwards and deductible temporary differences, estimating the amount of future taxable profit that will be probable, against which the loss carry-forwards and deductible tempora^ difference can be utilised (note 15).

The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any Impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy on intangible assets stated In Note 2. Goodwill is tested for impairment based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require estimates (Note12).

ontinued operettons valuation

Assets and associated liabilities of discontinued operations are valued at the book value.

Allowance for inventory obsolescence

All RVM parts Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value with the exception of repair parts for which 50% obsolescence allowance is provided.

Property, plant an

The Group estimates useful lives of its assets as follows:

Buildings 25-40 years
Plant and machinery 3-10 years
Vehicles and equipment 3-8 years

(4) Financial Risk Management

Market r

Market risk arises from the fact that the value of financial instruments may be positively or negatively affected by fluctuating prices on the financial markets. Market risk includes currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, and price risk.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to exchange rate fluctuations. Exposure to currency risks arises primarily when receivables and payables are denominated in a currency other than the operating company's local currency. In addition, the Group operates internationally and Is exposed tc foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, the UK pound, the Japanese yen and the Maltese pound.

The Company has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. The Company does not hedge translation risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility of asset Impairment occurring because counterparties are not able to meet their obligations in transactions involving financial instruments. While the Groups trade receivables are mostly exposed to credit risk, the exposure to concentrations of credit risk Is limited due to the diverse geographic areas and industries covered by its operations. In the normal course of business, the Group provides credit to clients, provides credit evaluations of these clients, and maintains an Impairment provision for credit losses. Credit losses, when realised, have been within the range of management's impairment provision for credit losses. Cash and cash equivalents are held with reliable counterparties.

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group may encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial Instruments. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group alms to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

The group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk. During 2006. the group's borrowings at variable rate were denominated in euros and the US dollar.

(5) Transition to IFRS

General

The Groups consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005 were the first annual financial statements that comply with IFRS. The Group's transition date was 1 January 2004. The Group prepared its opening IFRS balance sheet at that date. The Group's IFRS adoption date was 1 January 2005

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The policies adopted have been consistently applied to all the years.

(6) Segment Information

Effective tax rate

Envipco operates in several jurisdictions with local statutory income tax rates varying from 10% to 35%. This causes a difference between the average statutory income tax rate and The Netherlands tax rate of 29.6% The following table reconciles income taxes based on the Group's weighted average statutory income tax rate and the Group's income tax benefit from continuing operations:

Reconciliation between the company's effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rate in The Netheriands. which currently is 29.6%. can be specified as follows:

The effective tax is 13.2% (2005: 56.7%). The nominal tax rate is 29.6% (2005: 31.5%). The taxable loss for which no deferred tax asset was recorded is € 24.348 (2005: €28.759).

(11) Net result per ordinary share

The numerator for both basic and fully diluted net resuit per ordinary share (eamings per share or EPS) Is net result attributable to holders of ordinary shares from continuing operations. The denominator for basic EPS is the number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding ordinary shares held as treasury shares. The fully diluted EPS is same as the basic EPS as there were no outstanding employee stock options.

The net result per ordinary share has been calculated according to the following schedule:
