Management's report

H1 2010 financial performance

As expected, Danionics reported a loss for the first half year of DKK 1.7 million before recognition of a DKK 5.3 million writedown of the loan capital to Danionics Asia. The writedown equals the amount which Danionics contributed to Danionics Asia as loan capital in the first half year. Apart from the writedown, the H1 financial performance was on a level with the results achieved in H1 2009.

The loan capital to Danionics Asia is recognised in the amount of DKK 0, which is unchanged compared to 30 June 2009. The capital contribution made during the period has been written down over the income statement.

Receivables and prepaid expenses amounted to DKK 1.7 million, of which a VAT receivable amounted to DKK 1.3 million. Talks are still ongoing with the Danish tax authorities about this receivable, and the amount is subject to uncertainty.

Cash amounted to DKK 3.9 million. Equity amounted to DKK 5.2 million at 30 June 2010, down from DKK 7.3 million at 31 December 2009. The private placement completed in the first half of 2010 lifted equity by DKK 4.8 million net of costs.

The joint venture

A number of positive developments occurred on several fronts in the second quarter and this has continued into the third quarter.

A total of 208,000 batteries were sold and shipped in the first quarter and the number rose to 354,000 in the second quarter. In July, 142,000 batteries were shipped and in August, the number will reach 276,000. The joint venture has orders of similar volumes on hand for the next two months.

A very large part of these shipments are made to one specific customer, one of the world's largest manufacturers of mobile phones, which has now been a customer of Danionics Asia for two years. This is a positive situation, as the customer has gradually increased its orders, but obviously it also involves a risk.

During the summer, the joint venture received a first order from the European high-tech business for 15,000 batteries. This is a battery custom-developed by Danionics for one of this company's products.

Progress has also been made in production. The factory has now installed its first winding machines for various battery sizes. They make for more efficient production and consistent quality.

This has reduced the monthly losses substantially, but the joint venture is still losing money each month. The number of batteries manufactured and sold each month must be increased in order to reach break even.

Outlook for 2010

Danionics retains the forecast for 2010 presented in the annual report for 2009 released on 11 March 2010. The result for 2010 will be affected by marketing and sales costs related to the joint venture and administrative expenses of around DKK 2.5 million. Overall, Danionics expects a loss in the range of DKK 2-3 million after interest income but before recognition of the share of the profit/loss for the year or value adjustments in Danionics Asia Ltd.

Moreover, the company may continue to generate sales revenue if the sales efforts undertaken by Danionics A/S should result in the addition of new orders.

Danionics A/S expects to have sufficient capital to continue in business for the next 12 months.
