JOHN M. KENNAIR, MBE, Chairman said: 
 
"We are pleased to announce a return to trading profitability in the first half 
of 2010, following a year of unprecedented economic challenges in 2009.  At the 
2009 full year results we announced that we were introducing new photovoltaic 
products and were beginning to see recovery in our PowerGlaz revenues.  With 
photovoltaic pricing more stabilised, six months into 2010 we continue to be 
encouraged by a gradual pick up in PowerGlaz sales, coupled with a marked 
increase in enquiries in this part of the business, spurred by the introduction 
of the feed-in tariff in the UK. 
 
Our architectural sales have continued to be impacted by the downturn in the 
construction sector.  The architectural business, and our other markets, have 
also been disrupted by severe weather conditions at the start of 2010 which put 
projects on hold. 
 
The markets we operate in remain challenging but are showing signs of 
improvement. For the company as a whole we maintain our view that 2010 will be a 
year of steady recovery thanks to the cost cutting measures already implemented 
and new products introduced by management. The second half of the year is 
traditionally stronger and we anticipate this to be the case again in 2010. We 
remain positive in our longer term outlook and are confident that the 
introduction of the UK feed-in-tariff will bear fruit as the substantial 
increase in enquiries for our photovoltaic products converts to sales."

ROMAG HOLDINGS PLC 
Chairman's statement 
 
_________________________________________________________________________ 
 
 
I am pleased to report on the results for the six months to 31 March 2010.  The 
directors anticipated that this year would be a year of recovery for the 
business and group trading has returned to profitability following the 
volatility that occurred last year in the group's markets. 
 
Results 
 
Sales in the six months to 31 March 2010 fell by 11% compared to the 
corresponding period last year to GBP9.1m (2009 - GBP10.2m).  Cost cutting 
measures that were taken in 2009 have led to an improvement in gross margins 
(even if the exceptional write down of inventories to net realisable value is 
excluded from the 2009 figures - see note 2), and the group recorded a trading 
profit of GBP0.3m for the period (2009 - loss GBP1.3m).  Pre tax profits were 
GBP0.1m (2009 - loss GBP1.6m before exceptional profit of GBP2.7m on disposal of 
currency hedging contracts). 
 
Trading 
 
We have experienced more favourable conditions than last year in the markets for 
our range of photovoltaic products, which are sold under the name PowerGlaz.  In 
particular, photovoltaic prices have been relatively stable during the period. 
 
The architectural and specialist transport markets experienced a 38% fall in 
turnover over the corresponding period last year and the architectural market 
remains subdued. 
 
The adverse weather conditions this winter over such a long period have caused 
substantial delays in many of our major projects. 
 
Cash, working capital and gearing 
 
Over the six months, the group generated cash of GBP0.2m and reduced gearing to 
55% compared with 57% at 30 September 2009. 
 
Inventories remain higher than we would wish, but we expect these to reduce in 
the second half of the year. 
 
Dividends 
 
The directors do not recommend payment of an interim dividend.  They will review 
the potential for  proposing a final dividend when the results for the full year 
are available. 
 
Outlook 
 
The introduction of a feed-in tariff (FIT) for the UK was announced in February 
this year and came into effect on 1 April.  The FIT makes investment in 
renewable energy products attractive and has proved a significant boost to the 
solar markets in other European countries where they have been in place for a 
number of years. 
 
Already, we have seen a very substantial increase in the number of enquiries in 
the UK for all kinds of solar installations, including solar farms, industrial 
buildings, supermarkets, housing projects and commercial properties. 
 
The adverse weather conditions have also held back progress on the construction 
of Romag's own FIT project, but this is now expected to be substantially 
complete by the year end. 
 
ROMAG HOLDINGS PLC 
Chairman's statement (continued) 
 
_________________________________________________________________________ 
 
 
Whilst the directors expect further improvement in the traditionally stronger 
second half, the FIT will have only a small impact on trading in the current 
financial year.  However, the directors believe that the quality and diversity 
of opportunities that the FIT is generating will produce a substantial increase 
in sales and profitability in 2011 and beyond.
