Chairman's Statement

Introduction

I am pleased to present Nandan's interim results for the six month period ended 31(st) December 2012. The Group has made considerable progress having secured a number of new contracts during the period and post period end.

Nandan is focused on developing and operating a portfolio of clean energy assets within India and intends to increase its installed capacity through the acquisition of certain existing currently operational assets and projects under construction, to fulfill contracts that are in the pipeline. During the period the Group's income was generated from receipts for the sale of the Biodiesel, Jatropha Plantlets and Nutraceutical products sold to various classes of customers ranging from industrial giants to small farmers.

Operational Review

Land bank expansions within India

Nandan witnessed a reasonable monsoon last year and, as a consequence, crop yields are satisfactory. As documented at the time of our Preliminary Results in December 2012, the last monsoon period saw continued efforts to expand our land bank. The Company is well positioned to produce the required plantlets for the coming monsoon period which runs from July to October 2013. As we further develop our offerings, we are moving the business from a niche player operating in an environment of promoting the plantation with farmers spread across the country, to an institution with strong controls of the feed stock, contractually bound customers and protected IP rights. In line with this shift towards institutional sales and corporate farming, Nandan entered into a contract with Hindustan Petroleum Company Limited ("HPCL") for the supply of one year old Jatropha plantlets through a Jatropha Care Centre designed specifically for large institutions such as HPCL, wherein Nandan will nurture the growth of the plantlet at our resource centre's and organize supplies to main fields. The Company will derive approximately 30% of additional revenue under this model. During the period the Company has planted a trial area, which if successful is expected to enable Nandan to plant across an area of 15000 Hectares.

During the period, the Company has also entered into a contract agreement with the Rajasthan State Government for the supply of high yielding varieties of Nandan's plantlets to the Nodal state agencies. This contract is expected to commence in the coming monsoon period between July to October 2013, serving up to 4 million plantlets over the coming 12 months. This is an important development for the Group, given that the soil and climate conditions in Rajasthan are close to those in Botswana, and will help progress our plans to expand in East Africa.

In terms of current trends, Nandan foresees a bright future for bio fuels. A bio fuel policy in India has led to a significant number of state governments mandating a spread of bio fuel plantations throughout their respective agencies. The initiative has provided states with additional authority to encourage more than a million hectares of marginal lands to be allocated to bio fuel plantations. Jharkhand Renewable Energy Development Agency ("JREDA") of Jharkhand is playing a pivotal role in advancing the east and north- eastern states. Inactive regional agencies are also being encouraged through the new Ministry for New and Renewable Energy ("MNRE") regime, to revive their bio fuel programmes. In order to capitalise on these developments, Nandan is currently negotiating directly with the government to secure orders for the mass supply of plantlets and subsequent re-purchase of feed stock.

Furthering our international footprint

In line with the MOU entered into with the Rwandan Government, the Group has begun plantation activity. Nandan has established Nursery Production Centers ("NPC") and now work is underway to establish a 500 ha plantation. Nandan is pleased with the progress made to date to expand its activities which has been helped by the support from the Government of Rwanda and we look forward to making further progress in that region.

We will continue to grow our portfolio through a combination of late stage project acquisitions, fast track development and plantation expansions through government contracts. Further expansion of our portfolio, will widen and diversify our customer base to include institutions, governments, farmers and corporates.

Nandan 18

In line with our strategy to promote the plantation activity at institutional and corporate level the Group has laid down the roadmap for commercialization of the Nandan -18, super Jatropha hybrid. This particular hybrid is expected to produce a much higher yield and is a step forward in terms of innovation for Nandan. It is expected that we will begin its rollout during 2014.

Nutraceutical developments

During the period, we are pleased to report that our Nutraceutical Division progressed well. Thanks to recent efforts, the division has now expanded its distribution network across India and aims to distribute its products through 40,000 retail outlets. The Company intends to launch another six well-being products to add to its expanding product range. In the first half, the Group successfully secured long-term orders for the supply of its nutraceutical products across India. First deliverables under this contract took place in December 2012.On the back of increased demand, Nandan has commenced commercial production. We are in discussions with various business groups in African countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Nigeria for the continuous supply of our products to those countries. The discussions are at advanced stage and product registration with respective governments is progressing.

Strategic acquisitions

As outlined in the financial results published in December 2012, Nandan Cleantec Plc has increased its holdings during the period in Nandan Cleantec Limited from 51% to 73% and in Nandan Cleantec Industries Limited (formerly known as Xtraa Cleancities Limited (NCIL)) from 51% to 92%. The Company will continue to work towards acquiring the remaining minorities of NCL and NCIL.

Financial review

For the six months ended 31st December 2012, Nandan recorded gross revenue of INR 1261.33 million (equivalent to GBP15.59 million). This compares to INR 2663.30 million (GBP32.92 million) for the half year period ended on 31 December 2011. The Group's revenue declined in the period as a result of the ongoing regulatory dispute which resulted in one of the operating companies (Nandan Cleantec Industries Ltd)being unable to carry out production activity during the period. We are disappointed that this has impacted our first half results. The Honorable Supreme Court of India has directed the Appellate authority, the Ministry of Commerce, to decide upon the case. We remain resolute in our view that our position in relation to the dispute is strong and that a decision will be favorable to our Company. We expect that from April 2013, production activity will restart at the facility and anticipate good revenue growth for the Group in the second half of the year.

The Company recorded a profit before interest, depreciation and amortization of INR 474.03 million (equivalent to GBP5.86 million) compared to INR 119.16 (GBP1.47 million) for the half year period ended on 31 December 2011. The increase in EBITDA is predominantly a result of the gain recorded on acquisition of the additional stake in the operating subsidiaries Nandan Cleantec Industries Limited and Nandan Cleantec Limited.

The Group has a strong balance sheet with net current assets of INR 1064.02 million (GBP13.15 million) compared to INR 1402.46 million (GBP17.33 million) for the year ended 30(th) June 2012. The movement in the current assets is predominantly a result of the significant quantity of bio-diesel that the Company was carrying at 30 June 2012 being sold during the period. The Group has net assets of INR 2033.10 million (GBP25.13) and a cash balance of INR 68.46 million (GBP0.85 million).

The depreciation of the Rupee against the US Dollar and other Group operational currencies such as GBP, SGD and Ringgits over the previous year has again led to significant foreign currency translation differences in our consolidated accounts. Exchange rate fluctuations have no economic impact on our business, or its actual profit, they only make like-for-like comparisons difficult.

Dividend

In line with our stated policy, earnings will be fully re-invested to execute on Nandan's stated strategy and finance the ongoing growth of the business. The Directors therefore do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the period to 31st December 2012.

Post Period End Events

Supply Contracts:

As announced in January 2013, the Group signed a supply agreement for more than 50% of the installed capacity of Nandan's current processing facility located within the Special Economic Zone in Visakhapatnam, India with HK Petroleum ("HK"),a marketing, sales, trading and logistics company focused on the heavy oils sector of the Petroleum industry. Nandan has agreed to produce 12,500 metric tons of Methyl Esters and/or Biodiesel collectively per month for HK.

NCL's agreement with HK is contracted to last for a minimum period of 12 months and will be renewed for successive periods of 12 months at each anniversary if both parties agree. It is anticipated that the first sales of Methyl Esters and/or Biodiesel under this agreement will commence in April 2013. The contract is expected to generate good bottom line returns to the Group during the second half.

Land Bank Expansion:

Following the identification of a large potential land bank in Botswana, Nandan has been working towards executing the proposed Botswana project with Savills, a UK based property services company. The proposed project is underway and an independent professional team appointed by Savills, UK, is visiting Nandan's facilities during April 2013 to observe our research strength and our farming models adopted in India. Also, discussions with the Government of Ghana are progressing and we hope to have an association with them during this calendar year.

Prospects and Outlook

The Company remains focused on its objective to enhance value for Shareholders. With this in mind, Nandan aims to expand into related fields of business and into new geographies whilst also penetrating deeper into established markets. Nandan is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities. Aviation bio fuel is one such emerging opportunity that we wish to harness, combining Nandan's strengths with select technology partners. To this end, Nandan is currently in discussions with one of the major oil marketing company's in India and the Company hopes to secure a joint venture within this calendar year.

In India, the present trend is quite encouraging for the bio fuel industry. State nodal agencies are now more aware of the promise from The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy("MNRE") to assist with the development bio fuel policy in their respective states. Also, there are a number of Central Government schemes like The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005.("MGNREGS"), that are able to expand their scope to allow individual beneficiaries greater participation.

The Company continues to position itself as the pioneer in the sector and execution on its strategy and innovation remains a priority to deliver value for Shareholders. We remain confident that the Group is well placed to deliver the Board's expectations for the second half.

Employees

I would like to thank all of our employees, management and fellow directors for their hard work, encouragement and dedication throughout this year.
