Business Review

Group revenues are up by 21% from €22.3 million to €27.1 million for the first half of 2011 when compared to the first half of 2010. Net Profit after taxes, during the first half of 2011 stands at €225,000 compare to a loss of €558,000 for the similar period last year. EBITDA also improved significantly to €2.3 million when compared to €0.8 million of last year's six month period. The net profit is arrived at after charging €0.3 million of research and development expenses and €0.2 million of non deposit market development costs.

The Plastics recycling segment of our business continues to show improvements. It shows an increase of 53.6% in revenues to €16.8 million when compared to revenues of €11.0 million for last year's similar period. Gross margin also improved to 21.8% from 16.3% mainly resulting from better market prices for recycled plastics. The first phase of the plant upgrade to produce food contact approved recycled PET has been completed with the second phase coming online by end of 2011.

The revenues of Reverse Vending segment were down 11.2% to €9.8 million. In US Dollar terms, 2011 revenues decreased by 6.2% to \$13.8 million from \$14.7 million in 2010. This decrease is largely attributable to reduced machines sales in non-deposit markets outside the US.

Environmental Products Corporation, a subsidiary of Envipco Holding N.V., has agreed to settle its antitrust lawsuit filed in November 2010 in federal court in Connecticut against Tomra Systems ASA, a Norwegian publicly listed company and its subsidiary, Tomra of North America, Inc. (Tomra). As part of the settlement, Tomra has agreed to remove or disclaim all existing exclusive vendor provisions in agreements with its retailer customers and to refrain from entering into designated exclusive agreements in the future. Envipco is satisfied with the settlement agreement and remains committed to providing superior customer service in a free and open market.

Effective July 1, 2011, Environmental Products Corporation, a subsidiary of Envipco Holding N.V., entered into a distribution agreement with TOMRA/CBSI LLC in the State of Michigan. The agreement is through December 31, 2014 and provides Envipco with the exclusive distribution rights to the CBSI reverse vending platforms designed for retail locations. Envipco will take over existing sales contracts and assume all service responsibilities and agreements. Combining the CBSI placements with Envipco's existing placements will double Envipco's Michigan market presence and result in greater leverage of its current Michigan sales and service organizations. Envipco has recently launched a new HDS product line designed for large Michigan retail accounts. Combining the CBSI platform with Envipco's existing and new platforms will provide Envipco with a strong and diverse competitive offering. With the large installed Michigan RVM base, Envipco is well positioned for significant market share gains.

Out look:

We are generally satisfied with the results of the first six months showing consistent and significant improvements in line with management expectations. We continue with our market development initiatives in the non deposit markets under the pilot agreement with Coca Cola Recycling. We have 3 units of our Reimagine recycling centers (www.reimaginerecycling.com) currently under test in Texas. The initial results are encouraging and we anticipate additional three units to be installed before year's end. Commercial roll out of Reimagine will depend upon the overall evaluation of the pilot program which is scheduled to be concluded in the first half of 2012.

We are also on target to launch our first phase of our new Reverse Vending technology platform by year end. With our aggressive sales and marketing campaign, we expect significant sales opportunities during 2012 based on a superior price / performance offering for the retailers.

The recent order from one major German retail chain of 500 compactors, the most significant part of an RVM, also provides us with an endorsement of our reputation as new innovators in this industry. We expect additional European business as an OEM supplier of compaction technology.

We also intend to expand our non-deposit European RVM market footprint, using our new technology during 2012.

The general economic and financial situation has slowed down the recovery of our plastics recycling business. The second half of 2011 may only show a modest gain.

As previously announced during our annual general meeting of the shareholders on 27 June 2011 we plan to have a reverse stock split of 50:1 and have all shares listed in the NYSE Euronext Brussels by the third quarter of 2011. A prospectus to this effect will be published shortly after its approval by the AFM (Authority for Financial Markets), the Dutch regulatory body. Management shall be actively promoting the company shares and demonstrating the company's commitments to growth and success.

Risks and Uncert aint ies

  • Legislation driven growth: about 36% of our group revenues is generated from our RVM business, mainly dependent on deposit laws that can be repealed or curtailed significantly. None is expected, as has been the case during the last 20 years, and such scenario is very unlikely. To the contrary, there are even more initiatives to expand and extend these laws to other states and countries due to environmental concerns which can positively impact our business.
  • About 36% of the group revenues are generated in United States Dollar, which can be subject to significant fluctuations that may have a negative or positive impact on the group results depending upon whether it is a favorable or unfavorable change.
  • Volatility in the PET pricing can materially impact the recycling business in France.
  • Major customers going out of business may also have a significant negative impact, although unlikely due to the diversity of our customer base.

Capit al & Shareholding:

Authorized and Issued Share Capital

The Company's outstanding share capital currently consists of 135,630,350 shares, divided into 69,200,000 class A shares and 66,430,350 class B shares, each with a nominal value of €0.01. 4,295,378 of the class B shares are owned by Stichting Envipco Trust, a foundation (Stichting), incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the "Foundation"). The Foundation has issued depositary receipts ("DRs") for those class B shares, which are currently admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels.

On June 27, 2011 the annual general assembly of the shareholders approved a reverse stock split of 50:1, the effective date being the date when all the shares of the company being admitted to the Euronext Brussels stock exchange. Applications have been made for such requests to the AFM (Authority for Financial Markets), the Dutch regulatory body for listed companies. The numbers shown below reflect such stock split.

Prior to the Admission to Trading, the DRs will be delisted and the DRs in book-entry form will be cancelled and exchanged (geroyeerd) for the underlying class B shares. The holders of DRs in bearer form must deliver their DRs to the Listing Agent in order for their DRs to be cancelled and exchanged for the underlying class B shares.

On the date of the Admission to Trading, the class A shares and the class B shares will be converted into one class of ordinary shares. At the same time, a reversed stock split will be effected, pursuant to which 50 shares will be converted into one share, increasing the nominal value of the shares to €0.50 per share.

The Company's authorized capital shall become € 4,000,000 and shall be divided into 8,000,000 Shares, each having a nominal value of € 0.50.The issued share capital of the Company currently shall then amount to € 1,356,303.50 and shall be divided into 2,712,607 Shares, each having a nominal value of €0.50.
