* Canaccord Capital appointed NOMAD and brokers for AIM listing; Grant
Thornton now appointed as Company's auditors.
* Listing on AIM subscribed by new institutions and existing private
shareholders.

biodegradable waste going to landfill, creates strong driver for TEG's
market and in-vessel composting technology - one of the few approved
methods of treating biodegradable waste.
* May Local Authority elections created delays in decision-making.
* City and County of Swansea scheme re-tender due to financial and
grant constraints.
* Technical sales team expansion, recruitment process for CEO elect

Editor's Notes
TEG sells and operates in-vessel composting Silo-Cages, which provide an
efficient and reliable method of composting a wide variety of organic materials,
while achieving a reliable level of pathogen kill.
In-vessel composting is competitive against traditional ('heap on the ground')
methods due to legislative changes that require: (i) more recycling, (ii)
prevention of untreated animal products getting into the environment (i.e. BSE
and Foot & Mouth) and, (iii) greater certainty of pathogen kills. Many existing
methods cannot assure pathogen kill rates or stop untreated material entering
the environment.
TEG's system consists of large insulated silo-cages that create the optimum
environment for rapid composting. Target waste streams are combined with
complementary amendment materials (such as wood chips, green garden waste,
poultry litter etc.) to create the correct balance of nutrients. This ensures
accelerated composting at temperatures greater than 70oC, effectively killing
pathogens and producing a composted product in circa 14 days.

Interim Report and Accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2004
Chairman's Statement
Trading Prospects
The Company continues to run in lean mode while vigorously pursuing the
satisfactory determination of planning applications which are a pre-requisite to
orders from clients becoming unconditional. The impact of important legislation
such as the Animal By-Products Regulation and the Landfill Directive which
require much higher treatment requirements by certain dates is slowly but surely
attaining a higher profile in the awareness of local authorities and organic
waste producers. The closure of some landfill operations, the increasing of
Landfill Tax and the restriction of the use of landfill for the disposal of some
organic wastes continues to bring new enquiries to the company while the strong
list of existing sales prospects is being progressed.
The May Local Authority elections, which changed the elected members of so many
councils, inevitably introduced further delay in many areas because of a
reluctance by outgoing and incoming members to make any decisions during the
period. The City and County of Swansea, where previously we were preferred
bidder on a significant project, has advised that, due to financial and grant
constraints, the Authority has decided to review this project and has asked the
company to re-tender for this scheme. This we have done.
The impetus brought to the market by new legislation continues to favour the
Company's technology and we are cautiously expanding our team to allow
increasing focus on sales activity. We have recently advertised for a Chief
Operating Officer - CEO Elect.
The Directors are optimistic that the stagnant period for the progress on
planning applications is coming to an end and we expect favorable decisions on
applications and on a client's appeal in the next 12 months. We are encouraged
by the positive attitude by the Government towards speeding the planning process
for waste facilities.
Listing on AIM market
The Company succeeded in its application for a listing on the AIM market on 27th
July and raised a net value of #1,512,175 from the issue of 3,901,248 Ordinary
shares of 5p each subscribed by three new institutional shareholders and in
equal part by the support of existing private shareholders. In accordance with
accounting requirements the total costs associated with this fundraising will be
set against the share premium account as shown in the Pro Forma balance sheet at
note 8. Canaccord Capital were appointed our Nominated Advisors and brokers to
effect our AIM market listing.
Appointment of new auditors
We have now appointed Grant Thornton as the Company's auditors in succession to
Moore and Smalley whom we thank for their valuable service and helpful
contributions over the past years.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The financial information contained in this statement does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The
figures for the 14 month period ended 31 December 2003 have been extracted from
the Statutory Financial Statements (after the reanalysis of the cashflow
statement) which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditors'
report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a
statement under Section 237(2) of the Companies Act 1985. The accounts have
been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the
historical cost accounting rules.
The principal accounting policies of the company have remained unchanged from
those set out in the Company's 2003 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The
accounts are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company
will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The interim financial statements have been reviewed by the Company's auditors. A
copy of the auditors' review report is attached to this interim report.
2. TAXATION
The tax credit represents a claim for payable R&D tax credit.
3. LOSS PER SHARE
The loss per share is calculated by reference to the earnings attributable to
ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average of 12,484,140 ordinary
shares for the 6 months to 30 June 2004, 11,077,997 ordinary shares for the 6
months to 30 April 2003, and 11,531,870 for the 14 months to 31 December 2003.

The loss for each period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares for
calculating the diluted loss per share for each period are identical to those
used for the basic loss per share. This is because the outstanding share
options would not be dilutive under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard
No. 14 'Earnings per share' (FRS 14).

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO TEG ENVIRONMENTAL PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2004 which comprises the Summarised Profit and Loss
Account, Summarised Balance Sheet, Summarised Cash Flow Statement, and the
related notes 1 to 10. We have read the other information contained in the
interim report, which comprises only the Chairman's Statement, and considered
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with
the financial information. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other
information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report and ensuring that the
accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures are
consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except
where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed as required by the
AIM Rules issued by the London Stock Exchange.
Review work performed
We conducted our review having regard to the guidance contained in Bulletin 1999
/4 'Review of interim financial information' issued by the Auditing Practices
Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making
enquiries of group management and applying analytical procedures to the
financial information and underlying financial data, and based thereon,
assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been
consistently applied, unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit
procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and
transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in
accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower
level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit
opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months
ended 30 June 2004.
