Energy Technologies Limited – Half-Year Report

Chairman’s Report

The dominant activity of the past calendar year, which has now reached conclusion, has been the sale of substantially all the assets of Dulhunty Power International Limited (DPIL) to McLean Power LLC and associated entities (the McLean Group) of the USA. This specialised transmission line fittings company, now called D Power International Limited, is owned 50.82% by Dulhunty Power Limited whose name, consequent on the sale agreement, has been changed to Energy Technologies Limited (ASX:EGY).

Particulars of the sale were presented to Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on Tuesday 27 September 2011. In summary, the sale was based on an enterprise value offer with an overall consideration of A$17.0 million subject to post-completion net asset adjustments, discharge of short term unsecured debt, restraints and settlement of legal, consultancy and professional costs . The shareholders equity of DPIL as a result of the sale increased to approximately $14.02 million, before distributions, and the net consolidated result accruing to EGY as a result of the transaction is approximately $ 6.2 million.

EGY continues to hold a 39.85% investment in Dulhunty Poles Limited (Poleco); its wholly owned subsidiary Cogenic and a small number of legacy shares in First Folio (ASX:FFF). A short commentary on these holdings follows.

Last year we reported on the successful establishment of Dulhunty Poles Pty Limited (Poleco) in which DUL holds 39.85% share. Poleco’s factory, opened by Victorian Premier the Hon Ted Baillieu in July last year, is located at Moolap near Geelong in south western Victoria. The factory is producing first of a kind Titan composite glass fibre reinforced engineered cement power distribution poles (ECPs) for the burgeoning power distribution industry. Compared with traditional wood and reinforced concrete poles, Titan ECPs offer lighter weight, easier transport and handling, high durability, superior fire resistance, a lower carbon footprint, longer life and pollution free final disposal. Industry interest to date suggests a bright future for the company. Substantial firm sales contracts have already been secured with Australian and overseas utilities, sufficient to satisfy current factory capacity moving to a two shift basis before the end of 2012.

EGY currently owns 39.85% of Poleco with options to uplift this in second half of calendar year 2012. Further Australian manufacturing plants are planned and it is the intention of the EGY board to increase its stake in Poleco in the year ahead. EGY has participated in recent Convertible Note issues by Poleco with a total allocation of $710,500.

Next, as announced to the Australian Securities Exchange, EGY is in negotiation with an established specialist company supplying the Australian electricity supply industry. This profitable company has a long and proud history; EGY is indeed fortunate to have the opportunity to become its 100% owner with the clear aim of developing its business significantly in the years ahead. At the time of reporting a Term Sheet has been signed and a deposit of $50,000 paid to allow exclusive due diligence to proceed. Completion is anticipated by mid 2012 subject to due diligence.

EGY’s smallest 100% owned subsidiary, Cogenic Pty Ltd, is exploring the potential for new products including battery storage and gas fired combined heat and power (CHP) tri-generation systems which can produce electricity, process heat and air conditioning at high efficiency. It is intended that this business too is progressively strengthened.

Finally I note that clear signs are emerging of the investment tide turning in the power distribution sector. The future for your company is more encouraging than for some time.

I continue to have every confidence in the Board of EGY and the management and staff of the company and its subsidiaries. I look forward to the future with confidence.

  • development of energy generation technology

The following significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the period were the discontinuation of the manufacture of electricity transmission and distribution products and services, anchor systems and foundry products.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The reported results of Energy Technologies Limited (EGY – formerly DUL) for the Half Year to 31 December 2011 are dominated by the sale of substantially all of the assets of D Power International Limited (DPIL – formerly Dulhunty Power International Limited), the operating group controlled by EGY. This transaction, as announced on 12 October 2011, was based on a completion date of 30 September 2011. The transaction was structured predominantly as a share sale by DPIL of operating subsidiaries, with equity retained in subsidiaries in China and North America.

EGY

The parent entity is reporting a net profit for the period to 31 December 2011 of $3,086,148. This is after interim distributions from DPIL of $5,590,667 and a write down in the carrying value of DPIL post distribution of $1,940,158. EGY had an operating loss of $354,362 excluding transaction costs.

The EGY consolidated group profit after tax and minorities for the period is $5,554,924. Material items include:

EGY Profit on Sale of Assets of DPIL before Minorities $11,680,410
($4,585,705)
($865,158)
($227,978)
($446,645)
$5,554,924
Minorities Share of Profit on Sale
EGY Share of Transaction Costs
EGY Share of DPIL Loss for 3 Months to 30 September 2011
OperatingLoss For the Period(includingDPIL 3 Months to 31 December 2011)
Total

The profit on sale of $11,680,410 is impacted by adjustments to foreign exchange reserves of subsidiaries disposed of and goodwill written back in DPIL. Transaction costs include warranty insurance.

EGY has received net management fee income from associate entity Dulhunty Poles Pty Limited of $93,022 during the half year after eliminations. Dulhunty Poles Pty Ltd has succeeded in winning a large overseas contract as recently announced and the production facility at Moolap has begun to move into commercial production with deliveries to local and export customers. Quantities are still too low to permit efficient factory operation but the range of proven products has increased and rewarded the development reported in the previous period.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-Year Report

Directors’ Report (cont)

Subsequent to completion of the DPIL sale transaction, EGY has accepted a Convertible Note placement of $710,500 under offer from Dulhunty Poles Pty Limited. EGY has also paid a deposit of $50,000 under a Term Sheet to allow due diligence to commence on a sector acquisition, as announced.

DPIL

3 Months to 30 September 2011 discontinuing operations

The process of due diligence and other activities associated with the sale of the assets impacted DPIL operations and contributed to a slowing of activity and management diversion. This has contributed to a poor result for DPIL September quarter.

Revenue from customers for the September quarter at $5.3m was consistent with the corresponding period for the previous year. However, a combination of lower margins and higher expenses resulted in an EBIT loss of $(321,063) compared with a profit for the previous September quarter. DPIL loss after tax and minorities for the 3 months was $(450,164).

Profit on sale

DPIL group profit on sale of assets subsequent to completion is $7,861,095 net of minority and transaction costs.

DPIL 3 Months to 31 December 2011

DPIL has continued to trade since completion and has contributed a small loss of $30,496 after tax and minorities.

Energy Technologies Limited - Half-Year Report

Notes to the Half –Year Financial Statements

31 December 2011

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards including AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The half-year financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Energy Technologies Limited and its controlled entities (the Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of Energy Technologies Limited as at 30 June 2011 together with any public announcements made during the half-year.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As auditor of Energy Technologies Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review for a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. As a review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Our review did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.
