Operational Review

Amiad achieved a number of milestones in the first half of 2011. The Company's revenues rose in all territories. The growth in the industrial and municipal segments was particularly strong in Australia, Central America and Europe, including Eastern Europe. The irrigation segment experienced an increase in revenue across all geographies, which, significantly, included a return to growth in the United States.

The Company continued to expand into new geographies and segments, receiving increased interest in projects in the ballast water industry and winning projects such as in the oil & gas industry in East Asia and the municipal segment in East Europe.

During the first half, Amiad pursued its strategy to consolidate existing subsidiaries with the acquisition of the outstanding issued share capital of the Company's subsidiary in France, the establishment of "Amiad Europe" for Western Europe and the integration of Arkal's subsidiaries in China. In addition, post period end, Amiad established a subsidiary in Brazil to target this key market.

Amiad progressed its R&D programme and is on schedule to launch a new series of filtration technologies by the year end. Additionally, the first products and projects combining Amiad and Arkal technology are showing good traction and are already contributing to revenues.

Finally, post period end, the Company changed its name to Amiad Water Systems Ltd to reflect the evolution and expansion of the Amiad offering.

Global Activity

Asia

For Amiad, the Asian territory encompasses countries such as China, India, Singapore and Vietnam operating through the Company's Taixing, Amiad India and FCS subsidiaries.

Key project highlights in the first half included:

The Company secured several projects in China in the irrigation segment in the north-west of the country. In addition, projects were secured in the industrial segment to provide nozzle protection in the steel mill industry and process water for washing coal in the mining industry.

In India, Amiad successfully secured a project with VA Tech Wabag, a leading water and water management company in India, which was awarded a contract to build and operate a desalination plant in Chennai. Construction of the plant is being overseen and coordinated by Mecon Ltd, a government-owned company, on behalf of Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewage Board. The project is based on Arkal disc filtration technology, which will form an integral part of the system. The facility, which will be one of the largest desalination plants in Asia, will process water from the Bay of Bengal to supply 100 million litres a day of purified water to the city of Chennai. In addition, Amiad's subsidiary in India assembled its first filter series following the completion of the product assembly in the second half of 2010.

Amiad moved forward with its project to provide filtration services to a dairy processing farm in Vietnam to ensure clean and clear drinking water for the cattle. Located in western Nghe An, the farm, which will house approximately 30,000 milking cows, is the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia. For the initial phase of the project, Amiad developed a filtration system for the plant's quarantine zone. Under the second phase, Amiad provided filtration systems for three milking barns. The Company is now working on the final stage of the project, which is due to be completed in 2012.

Amiad also won a significant project in East Asia, through its subsidiary in Singapore, to provide filtration technology to treat injection water for a floating production, storage and offloading unit in the offshore oil & gas industry.

North America

For Amiad, the North American territory encompasses the United States and Canada operating through the Company's Amiad USA Inc and PEP Filters subsidiaries.

In the US, Amiad received a particular interest for projects in the ballast water industry. The Company also experienced a return to growth in the irrigation segment.

South America

For Amiad, the South American territory encompasses countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and the Caribbean Islands operating primarily through the Company's operations in Israel and from its two subsidiaries: Amiad Andina in Chile and the recently established Amiad Sistemas de Agua LTDA ("Amiad Brazil") in Brazil.

In the Caribbean, Amiad installed a water treatment facility, using Arkal and Amiad technology, to filter cloudy water from a local river to provide residents with potable water. The Company successfully completed the commissioning and testing phase of the project. The system has a flow rate of approximately 350 cubic metres per hour.

As announced on 13 June 2011, Amiad secured a project to provide its proprietary Arkal SpinKlin Disc Filters for the Aquapolo tertiary wastewater treatment project in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The facility, one of the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, produces reclaimed water for industrial purposes.

EMEA

For Amiad, the EMEA territory encompasses countries such as France and Spain in Europe, Russia and former CIS countries in East Europe, Turkey, Israel and others in the Middle East and Africa.

In France, Amiad recently secured a contract for a second phase of an existing project in the oil & gas segment for the provision of a salt leaching brine filtration system at an underground liquid hydrocarbon storage facility. The project is to be delivered in the second half of 2011.

In Slovakia, Amiad completed the commissioning of a filtration system at a wastewater facility, for the reclamation of municipal sewage, in the city of Strazke. The Company's unique system, installed within a heated structure to prevent freezing in winter temperatures that can reach -20[deg]C, filters the waste to meet the environmental criteria for release into a nearby river. The facility began continuous operation at the beginning of July 2011.

Australia

For Amiad, this territory encompasses Australia and New Zealand operating through the Company's Amiad Australia subsidiary.

This region experienced particular growth - for both revenues and profit - in the industrial and municipal segments in Australia.

The Company successfully commissioned a pre-filtration system, based on Arkal disc technology, at a desalination plant in Adelaide. The facility is designed to treat ocean water to reduce the reliance of the southern Australian states on water from the River Murray and other rain-dependent sources. The Amiad solution was incorporated from the design through construction phases of the pre-filtration system.

Strategic

During the first half of 2011, Amiad continued to execute on its stated strategy of expanding its presence through gaining full control of its subsidiaries in order to have a local presence and establish direct sales channels in competitive markets.

As announced on 7 February 2011, Amiad acquired the remaining 34% of the issued share capital of its French subsidiary, Amiad France SARL. Subsequently, the Company consolidated all central and western European activity under the newly established Amiad Water Systems Europe SAS ("Amiad Europe"). Located in France, the subsidiary continues to be managed by Dr Bruno Jauneaud, the former Chief Executive Officer of Amiad France SARL.

Similarly in China, Amiad completed the integration of the Arkal subsidiaries with the Company's existing infrastructure. Amiad now has approximately 90 employees in China and one manufacturing facility.

In August 2011, the Company founded Amiad Sistemas de Agua LTDA ("Amiad Brazil"), a wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, to enhance the sale and marketing of Amiad's products in the non-irrigation segments. The water industry in Brazil is a fast-growing market that is receiving increasing interest and investment. By establishing a presence in Brazil, Amiad will be better positioned to be able to access this market and meet this demand.

As announced on 13 September 2011, the Company has adopted Amiad Water Systems Ltd as its new company name to reflect the development and expansion of Amiad's offering following the merger with Arkal Filtration Systems. The enlarged business, operating in a greater number of market segments and geographies, aims to provide a wider range of products based on innovative solutions that can form the core of any water treatment system worldwide.

Based on distinct, but synergistic and complementary technologies, Amiad now operates under three brands:

-- "Amiad" - screen technology based products, providing a variety of filtration solutions for the industrial, municipal and irrigation segments;

-- "Arkal (by Amiad)" - disc filtration and polymer casing products, providing solutions for irrigation, municipal, ballast water and marine applications; and

-- "Filtomat (by Amiad)" - solutions for the industrial and municipal segments, based on a unique patented microfiber technology that allows filtration to a finer degree, and provides screen filters to the irrigation segment.

Financial Review

Revenues for the six months ended 30 June 2011 increased by 56% to $59.0m compared with $37.9m for the first half of 2010 and by 14.6% sequentially (H2 2010: $51.5m). Fully diluted earnings per share increased to $0.18 (H1 2010: $0.04).

Operating profit for the period more than doubled to $5.5m (H1 2010: $2.1m) and profit before tax more than quadrupled to $4.9m (H1 2010: $1.1m).

The period saw the return to growth of the underlying Amiad business, with an increase in revenues of approximately 20% on a like-for-like basis. Revenues for the first half of 2010 included a two month contribution from Arkal of approximately $7.0m compared with a six month contribution of approximately $22m for the first half of 2011.

Gross margins decreased to 44% compared with 45% for the first half of 2010 due to increased sales in the irrigation segment, which is traditionally a lower margin business.

As of 30 June 2011, cash and cash equivalents in the bank were $15.0m compared with $11.3m at 31 December 2010, reflecting the acquisition of Arkal, and continuing efforts to increase organisational efficiency, streamline operations and maintain tight control of costs.

Dividend

The Directors have decided to declare a dividend out of the Company's profits for the six months ended 30 June 2011 of $0.049 gross per share (H1 2010: $0.02 gross per share), with an ex dividend date of 21 September 2011, a record date of 23 September 2011 and a payment date of 11 October 2011.

Outlook

Amiad entered the second half of 2011 with a higher order backlog than at the comparable point of the previous year and sales are expected to continue to increase across all segments. As a result, with the return to growth in key traditional markets, such as the irrigation segment in the US, and the expansion into new industries, such as ballast water, and territories, Amiad expects to achieve revenue growth exceeding market expectations.

The Company anticipates raw material prices will remain high and currency pressures will continue due to the strengthening of the Israeli Shekel against the US dollar. In addition, the increasing contribution to revenues from the irrigation segment will have an impact on gross margins, which are expected to be in the range of 42% to 45%.

Despite this, the Board of Amiad remains confident of achieving strong revenue growth, ahead of market expectations, for the full year 2011.
