Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report our interim results for the six months ended 31 December
2009. Since our last annual report we have made what we consider to be good
progress in our strategy to generate shareholder value from the sale and
operation in partnership of biomass waste-to-energy power plants.
Kedco's business strategy is to design, build and operate power plants with an
output greater than 1MW using two tried and tested technologies: gasifiation of
wood and wood waste; and anaerobic digestion of either food or agricultural
waste.
A key element of our business model is to establish relationshipswith
medium-sized waste operators, food companies, agricultural operators and local
municipal authorities who can act as feedstock and site providers. We have
advanced a number of these relationships since our last annual report including
the signing of a joint venture agreement and site lease in relation to the
gasification project located in Newry, Northern Ireland in December 2009.
We believe that growing regulation and legislation in respect of the renewable
energy requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate continues to
support the marketability of our business model and the validity of our
long-term strategy.
We had set ouselves a challenging milestone of generating electricity by the end
of 2009. Whilst we have generated electricity from a 75KW containerised gasifier
for sale to the grid in Cork, we now expect to generate electricity in the 4MW
Newry plant in the second half of 2010. This remains an important objective for
us.
Ours continues to be a long-term goal that, as we stated in our last annual
report, requires much up-front investment, effort and dedication. I am pleased
with the progress the Company has made this half year in attracting further
funding from a variety of respected sources including the Irish Government.
On behalf of the Board I would like to thank all Kedco employees for their
continued commitment and achievements. I would also like to thank again our
shareholders and funding partners for their continuing support of the Company's
aims.

Chief Executive's Report
Operational Review
The results for the six months to 31 December were in line with our
expectations. I am particularly pleased with the performance of our business in
Latvia, which saw an increase in sales and in profitability on the comparable
period last year. We have exercised tight control of our cost base and this
together with increased sales has led to a reduction in losses of 50 per cent.
on the same period last year.
The current economic climate has been challenging but during the period, we
continued to invest capital in developing customer and partner relationships and
in furthering projects in the UK and Ireland. We have also continued to build up
the pipeline of projects on which we are either planning our involvement or
already working towards a finished installation.
Continued progress was made towards the Company's objective of commencing
electricity generation at the 4 megawatt ("MW") gasification project located in
Newry, Northern Ireland including the signing of a joint venture agreement, and
a 20 year lease on the site. The project joint venture entity has full
permitting approval for the project. As previously announced the board now
expects the plant to be commissioned before the end of the calendar year
conditional on receipt of additional project finance. Kedco has already invested
approximately EUR5.9 million into the project.
Kedco has taken delivery of a 75KW containerised gasifier which has been
commissioned and is operational at its headquarters in Cork and is currently
being used to generate electricity from biomass which is sold to the national
grid. This plant is acting as a demonstration site for the UK and European
markets.
Financial review
Revenues in the first half to 31 December 2009 related entirely to the Kedco
Energy division and increased to EUR4.2 million, an increase of 28 per cent. when
compared with the corresponding period for the prior year. The loss for the
period was EUR1.5 million (2008: EUR3.0 million). This represents a reduction of 50
per cent. when compared to the comparable period for the prior year. This loss
continues to include costs that reflect the Company's continued use of resource
to grow and execute the electricity generating business in line with the
Company's stated strategy.
We continue to manage our financial resources prudently. Cash and cash
equivalents at the period end were EUR333,238.
The Company has in the last month issued Convertible Loan Note instruments to a
number of investors totaling EUR630,000. The term of these notes ranges from 5 to
6 months and the conversion price is 10c per share.
The board is currently engaged in advanced discussions with a number of
different parties around the potential investment of equity and/or debt finance
into the Company. The board remains confident that suitable investment will be
secured. The board continues to pursue alternative means of maintaining adequate
cash reserves and continues to manage its working capital position tightly. The
interim financial information is prepared on a going concern basis as discussed
in more detail in Note 2.
Outlook
We believe that the outlook for Kedco in the waste-to-energy market is extremely
positive. The twin drivers of regulation in relation to waste disposal and
legislation in relation to the generation of renewable electricity, could
significantly enhance the performance of the Company in the future.
Looking forward to the remainder of the year, we consider the main areas of
uncertainty to be the impact of the tightening in credit markets on the cost and
availability of finance for new projects. With this in mind the business has
continued to exercise tight control over its cost base. As we said in our last
annual report, in order to scale up and accelerate the development of our
project pipeline, there will be a need for us to increase the scale and timing
of our fund-raising activities. As our operational assets mature, we expect to
be able to secure more readily bank finance to fund the initial development of
new projects. In the interim, we will continue to have a requirement for equity
and/or hybrid debt capital. In this regard, Kedco believes it is prudent to
consider all available funding options and the Company will continue to execute
to its strategy, where appropriate, of seeking to raise additional finance by
way of equity or structured debt instruments.
The long-term outlook for our business model remains positive, supported by an
ever increasing amount of regulatory pressure in favour of localised, targeted
green-energy solutions. The Board and management of Kedco looks forward to the
future with confidence.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2009
1. General information
Kedco plc (the "Company" or the "Group") was incorporated in Ireland on 2
October 2008. The address of its registered office and principal place of
business is Unit 6, Portgate Business Park, Monkstown, Co. Cork.
The principal activities of the Group are as follows:
- acts as project developer for power plants that convert Waste and Biomass to
Clean Power using Anaerobic Digestion, Gasification and Biomass Combustion; and
- the provision of the wholesale of wood and biomass materials.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are in
compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial
Reporting.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro
and have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect
the application of policies and reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses together with disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions of accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which
the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the
period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current
and future periods.
As described in the Chief Executive's Report, the Group continues to invest
capital in developing customer and partner relationships in the UK and Ireland.
The Group has also continued to develop and expand its pipeline of projects and
currently awaits the commissioning of the electricity generating plant at Newry.
These activities together with the current challenging economic environment have
resulted in the Group continuing to report losses for the half year to 31
December 2009.
The Directors have instituted a number of measures to preserve cash and also
secure additional finance. The board is currently engaged in advanced
discussions with a number of different parties around the potential investment
of equity and/or debt finance into the Company and in the meantime continues to
manage its working capital position tightly. The board remains confident that
suitable investment will be secured.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Directors have given careful consideration to the appropriateness of the
going concern concept in the preparation of the financial statements. The
validity of the going concern concept is dependent upon finance being available
for the Company's working capital requirements and for the completion of the 4MW
project so that the Group can continue to realise its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course ofbusiness. The interim financial statements do
not include any adjustments that would result should the above conditions not be
met.
After making enquiries and considering the items referred to above, the
Directors believe that solid progress towards securing finance is being made and
that, whilst there is no guarantee that such investment will be forthcoming, the
going concern basis is appropriate for these financial statements.
The interim financial information for both the six months ended 31 December 2009
and the comparative six months ended 31 December 2008 are unaudited and have not
been reviewed by the auditors. The financial information for the year ended 30
June 2009 represents an abbreviated version of the Group's financial statements
for that year. Those financial statements contained an unqualified audit report
and have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have neither been
audited nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing Practices
Board.
3. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company and all subsidiaries. The financial period ends of all
entities in the Group are coterminous.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements from the date on which control over the
operating and financial decisions is obtained and cease to be consolidated from
the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists where
the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and
operating policies of the entity so as to obtain economic benefits from its
activities.
All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised gains arising
from inter-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses
are eliminated in the same manner as unrealised gains except to the extent that
they provide evidence of impairment.
The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is measured at the
minority's proportion of the fair value of the assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities recognised.
4. significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim condensed
consolidated financial information are unchanged from those disclosed In the
Annual Report and Accounts of Kedco plc for the year ended 30 June 2009.
5. segment reporting
The Group's primary format for segmental reporting is business segments and the
secondary format is geographical segments. The risks and returns of the Group's
operations are primarily determined by the different products that the Group
supplies rather than the geographical location of the Group's operations.
The Group has two separate business segments: Kedco Power and Kedco Energy.
The Kedco Power business is the main focus of the Group and specialises in
electrical power generation from biomass and waste.
Kedco Energy contains a number of ancillary businesses serving industrial and
residential customers, all with a renewable energy focus.
Corporate activities, such as the cost of corporate stewardship, which includes
administrative, finance and head office costs are reported along with the
elimination of the inter-group activities under the heading 'Head office
services and intercompany eliminations'. Inter-segment pricing is determined on
an arm's length basis.
The Group's segmental information contains certain headings which are not
defined under IFRS. For clarity, the following are the definitions as applied by
the Group in their management Information:
· 'Trading loss' refers to the operating loss generated by the businesses
before intangible asset amortisation and depreciation on property, plant and
equipment and before once off listing expenses;
· 'Operating loss' is loss before taxation and finance costs and represents
the result for each segment.
The Group makes this distinction to give a better understanding of the
performance of the business.
The Group's primary geographical segments are Ireland and Latvia. The
geographical segment 'Other Europe' includes sales in the United Kingdom.
By business segment:

An income tax charge does not arise for the six months ended 31 December 2009 or
31 December 2008 as the effective tax rate applicable to expected total annual
earnings is nil as the Group has sufficient tax losses coming forward to offset
against any taxable profits. A deferred tax asset has not been recognised for
the losses coming forward.

Diluted Loss Per Share
The loss used in the calculation of all diluted earnings per share measures is
the same as that for the equivalent basic earnings per share measures, as
outlined above.
The weighted average number of Ordinary Shares for the purposes of diluted loss
per share reconciles to the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares used in
the calculation of basic loss per share as follows:

+------------------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+
Share warrants which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the
future have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
as they are anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The dilutive effect as a
result of share warrants in issue as at 31 December 2009 would be to increase
the weighted average number of shares by 5,905,764 (2008: Nil).

| Balance at beginning and end of the year | 549,451 | 549,451 |
+------------------------------------------------------+-----------+----------+
Goodwill arose on the acquisition of an 80% shareholding in SIA Vudlande, a
limited liability company incorporated in Latvia.. Goodwill was allocated to the
Latvian CGU within the Kedco Energy segment.
Annual Test for Impairment
During the financial year/period presented, the Group assessed the recoverable
amount of goodwill and determined that the goodwill associated with the
acquisition of SIA Vudlande was not impaired.
The full amount of goodwill for impairment testing purposes relates to the SIA
Vudlande cash-generating unit. The principal activities of SIA Vudlande are the
processing of wood, sawn timber production and wood realisation. SIA Vudlande
has maintained its position in the competitive Latvian market as the company has
access to continuous raw material input and it has the flexibility to produce
different types of sawn material. Development which has been undertaken in SIA
Vudlande has expanded the production capacity of the company. The recoverable
amount of this cash-generating unit is determined based on a value in use
calculation which uses cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by
the Directors for a five-year period.
The cash flow forecasts employed for the value-in-use comparisons are based on
budgeted figures for the first year and on a four-year forecast approved by the
Board for the following four years. Cash flow is then projected forward for the
following ten years based on an assumed growth of 3% per annum. The discount
factors applied to future cash flows range from 9% to 12% as deemed appropriate.
The directors believe that any reasonably possible change in key assumptions on
which the value-in-use is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to
exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit. A 1%
increase in the discount rate would not result in an impairment charge for the
periods presented.
No impairment losses have arisen in any financial period to date.
9. property, plant and equipment
During the period, the Group invested EUR66,218 in improving the efficiency of its
biomass wood processing plant in Latvia. This investment was financed through
debt.

Kedco Block Holdings Limited ('KBHL') in consideration for the allotment and
issue of 2,493,081 Ordinary Shares of EUR1.00 each to the former members of KBHL.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company allotted and issued one ordinary share of
EUR1.00 each in consideration for the transfer to it of each share held in KBHL.
The fair value of the shares in Kedco Block Holdings Limited received as
consideration for the issue of these shares in Kedco plc was EUR34,903,134 which
resulted in a share premium in the Company of EUR32,908,669. From a group
perspective, since the acquisition is being accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, the shares of the new legal parent (Kedco plc) were recognised and

capital of the accounting parent and is offset against the share premium of the
new legal parent.
