Commenting on the results, Mark Sims, Chief Executive Officer, said: 
"As I am sure you are aware, there have been a number of high profile businesses 
within the industry that have been wound up in recent months. Although this is 
of concern for the industry as a whole, it has opened up a number of key 
opportunities, as the lead contractor, for smaller more personable businesses, 
such as Environ Group. We have been approached regarding a number of tenders 
that have come about because of the collapse of these businesses, and it is 
hoped that we can turn these opportunities into successful long standing 
contract wins. 
 
"Additionally, the introduction of the Renewable Heat Incentive and the Green 
Deal, along with the launch of the BGC Renewable Energy Centre should drive 
opportunities and new business to the Group, supporting the Group's focus on 
legislation led services. Customer retention is also very important and the 
feedback that we have been receiving from our customers has been very positive. 
 
"The Group has streamlined its operations, reduced its overheads and has made 
strategic disposals where necessary, in order to ensure profitability in the 
future. This restructuring phase is now complete and we have a strong and 
experienced Board in place to help drive the business forward. Although we made 
a modest loss for the period under review, the Group has traded profitably for 
the past five months. I am confident that the Group is in a good position and 
that the second half of the year will offer significant opportunities for 
growth."

Chairman's Statement 
 
It's not much to write home about but the very modest loss for the first six 
months is at least an improvement on the very large loss of the six months 
previous.  I am also happy to report that the past five months have seen us move 
into a modest profit month on month. 
 
In the relative turmoil of our marketplace, it's far too early to say whether 
the corner has been turned but the entire Board remain both substantial 
investors in the company and believers in the long term future of the business. 
 
The refurbishment of the United Kingdom's housing stock, 'green' insulation, 
warm front policies, decent homes standards, solar power, fire protection and 
prevention - all this surely has to be good long term business with excellent 
growth prospects, though certainly there will be bumps along the road as we have 
said before, and indeed much as we are all, across the country, experiencing at 
the moment. 
 
Whilst it is therefore too early by far to give any firm guidance as to the 
future, it should be possible to have a far better idea in 6 months' time.

Chairman 
 
 
Chief Executive Officer's report 
 
Overview 
 
This is my inaugural CEO's statement and I am pleased to report that although 
Environ Group has been through a significant period of change over the last 12 
months, the six months under review have undoubtedly seen us make satisfactory 
progress. We have seen an encouraging improvement across the Group with a number 
of key contract wins. Additionally, the Board has been strengthened with the 
appointment of Mrs. Janet Domin, Mr. Neil Chapman and Mr. Christopher Arnott as 
Non-Executive Directors of the Company. Both Christopher and Neil have 
significant experience in the fire prevention and protection market and have 
helped, and will continue to help, with driving this growth area of the 
business. Janet brings with her a demonstrable track record having worked at HM 
Customs and Excise concentrating on finance functions. She was also instrumental 
in increasing Fenhams contract growth between 1999 and 2007. 
 
Following the recent fundraising and repayment of the Chairman's loan, we 
believe that Environ Group is now financially stable and in a position to 
benefit from the opportunities that are presenting themselves following the 
recent Spending Review and the collapse of some major players within the support 
services sector - this is already evident in the opportunities becoming 
available on a daily basis. 
 
As you will see from the numbers, revenues are significantly down compared with 
the previous year. However, retrenchment across the Group has now left us in a 
far stronger position to benefit from the current work levels. It is the Board's 
belief that the disposals made earlier this year are now starting to show a 
positive impact on the results and will continue to do so moving forward. 
Furthermore, the Group is moving towards its goal of achieving sustainable 
profitability with a significant reduction in losses, a notable improvement from 
the considerable loss made in the previous six months to the year ended March 
2010. 
 
Furthermore, post period end, we have seen a move into profitability, during 
October and November, and although there are no guarantees that profitability 
will be sustained until the end of the year, this is a positive step forward for 
the Group. 
 
Trading Operations 
 
I am pleased to report that all three trading subsidiaries have performed well 
over the past few months. This year started with some legacy issues arising from 
the major losses of last year. The Board were able to continue with the 
strategic action plans prepared as part of the divestment programme in February 
2010. This included some job losses, which, whilst regrettable, were vital to 
ensure the continued health of the Group moving forward. 
 
The Board sees green energy as its main growth sector and is working towards 
expanding this specialist area across the Group. BGC and Fenhams are both part 
of the  Microgeneration Certification Scheme ("MCS"), an independent scheme that 
certifies microgeneration products and installers, and have worked on some of 
the UK's biggest photovoltaic installations, including the combined solar 
thermal and photovoltaic arrays on the side of E-ON, the utility giant's, head 
office in Coventry. 
 
In order to keep up with the growing demand for renewable energy, BGC has 
launched a pioneering centre of excellence for training on the installation of 
renewable energy technology. The centre, which is based in Etruria, 
Stoke-on-Trent, currently has 15 trainees, all of whom we expect to work in 
BGC's growing renewable energy division. The centre will also be opened up to 
local schools in order to give school children an insight into renewable energy 
technology and its benefits, with the use of practical examples. We believe this 
centre will help to position BGC as a nationally recognised provider of 
renewable technology and allow us to maximise all opportunities within this 
exciting sector. 
 
BGC has won a significant new contract with Macclesfield based, Chesire Peaks 
and Plains Housing Trust.  The original contract, which has commenced and runs 
until March 2011, is worth approximately GBP1.3 million and includes the 
installation of 100 new bathrooms and kitchens, carrying out 60 major rewiring 
projects and making 250 heating system improvements. In September's announcement 
we stated that the Board believed that CPPHT could offer the Group additional 
opportunities and I am pleased to report that the current agreement was 
extended, almost immediately, to include a comprehensive separate programme of 
mains and earthing works to be carried out over a 35 week period. This 
additional work will be carried out by the electrical division of BGC. 
 
Part of the strategy is to offer renewable energy services to all our existing 
customers. BGC has recently won a major GBP500,000 contract with a Registered 
Social Landlord ("RSL") and Fenhams has won a contract with a large "not for 
profit" organisation that aims to deliver renewable energy solutions. 
 
The reduction in the number of people living in "fuel poverty" is a major UK 
wide initiative and the Group   is committed to providing a fast, friendly and 
efficient service to all those households allocated new systems via the Warm 
Front Scheme. The Comprehensive Spending Review in October this year announced 
changes to the format and level of grants available, and we will continue to 
work closely with all parties to ensure that this worthy initiative is 
maintained and upgraded in the coming years. 
 
Both BGC and Fenhams are continuing to see a growing number of renewable energy 
opportunities in the market and are currently working on a number of tenders - 
we hope to update shareholders in the near future. 
 
As part of the Group's diversification plans, all three subsidiaries have 
managed to widen their customer base. BGC has concentrated on its local markets, 
Fenhams has been able to take advantage of its national network to win new work 
as far afield as the South Coast, Home Counties and East Anglia as well as new 
leads in the North East. IPCL, although based in the North East, has won 
significant work in Scotland as well as major contracts in London. 
 
IPCL is a good fit alongside the existing social services sector businesses 
within the Group as it applies complimentary services and products to similar 
and new sectors. Since January, in a difficult construction market, it has 
strengthened its existing relationships with the majority of the UK's leading 
construction and fabrication companies and has offered complimentary services to 
the Group's existing customer base - IPCL is working on a complete fire 
prevention and protection solution for RSLs, Local Councils and private 
commercial businesses for the retrofit market. The fire protection and 
prevention sector is predominantly driven by fire regulation and legislation, 
which is continually being updated and these changes generally introduce more 
stringent fire regulation. These regulations predominantly affect landlords and 
commercial businesses that are required to comply with all current fire 
regulations and legislation or face prosecution. 
 
IPCL's services are fully accredited by the FIRAS - the industry recognised 
standard, which guarantees the quality of the work carried out. Because IPCL 
offers a fully comprehensive one-stop shop for fire prevention services it 
minimises the need for multiple contractors and warranties on single projects. 
 
Opportunities and Outlook 
 
As I am sure you are aware, there have been a number of high profile businesses 
within the industry that have been wound up in recent months. Although, this is 
of concern for the industry as a whole, it has opened up a number of key 
opportunities, as the lead contractor, for smaller more personable businesses, 
such as Environ Group. We have been approached regarding a number of tenders 
that have come about because of the collapse of these businesses, and it is 
hoped that we can turn these opportunities into successful long standing 
contract wins. 
 
Additionally, the introduction of the RHI and the Green Deal, along with the 
launch of the BGC Renewable Energy Centre should drive opportunities and new 
business to the Group, supporting the Group's focus on legislation led services. 
Customer retention is also very important and the feedback that we have been 
receiving from our customers has been very positive. The BGC team has been 
working closely with its customers to ensure that it meets their needs 
throughout the process and it is by building and maintaining these important 
relationships that BCG is winning repeat business and contract extensions. 
 
The Group has streamlined its operations, reduced its overheads and has made 
strategic disposals where necessary, in order to ensure profitability in the 
future. This restructuring phase is now complete and we have a strong and 
experienced Board in place to help drive the business forward. The Group is 
financially stable with a good cash position, and although we made a modest loss 
for the period under review, the Group has traded profitably during October and 
November. I am confident that the Group is in a good position and that the next 
six months will offer significant opportunities for growth.
