Financial Highlights
Hot Features
Premium

A$11.4m) reflecting a decline in the provision of contract personnel and the slower than expected progress of the
Papua New Guinea ("PNG") project, largely due to adverse weather and construction issues;
-- Increase in profit before tax to A$522,000 (approximately GBP274,000), compared to the same period the previous
year (Dec 2014: A$491,000) from a significant reduction in cost of sales and administrative expenses due to the
AIM listing process in December 2014; and
-- Earnings per share of 1.56c (Dec 2014: 1.70c).
Operational Highlights
-- Non-binding heads of terms for the purchase of Bachmann Plant Hire ("Bachmann") in Australia were signed in
October 2015;
-- During the period Company focussed on stabilizing group revenue, whilst progressing the transformative
acquisition of Bachmann; and
-- Strengthened relationships with our blue chip client base.
Post period end update and outlook
-- Acquisition of Bachmann Plant Hire for a consideration of up to A$13.4 million announced on 11 January 2016 and
subsequent completion of the acquisition at the General Meeting of the Company on 28 January 2016 and the
enlarged MRS group readmitted to trading on AIM on 1 February 2016;
-- Received a loan facility of A$1.5m from Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (Efic), the Australian export
credit agency. This facility provides government-backed support of the CompanyÕs ongoing work in Papua New
Guinea;
-- Appointment of Christopher John Berkefeld as an independent Non-Executive Director following the acquisition of
Bachmann Plant Hire Pty. Ltd. on 11 January 2016;
-- The Company continues to look for suitable acquisitions in the region to expand our service offerings; and
-- The company has recently tendered on a major construction/demolition project, which would start towards the end
of March 2016 if successful.
Paul Morffew, MRS CEO said:
"Although we suffered the frustration of spending much of the first half of the financial year with our shares suspended while we progressed the transformative acquisition of Bachmann, considerable operational progress was made with a significant contract win in Papua New Guinea. The business has ended the period in a good financial position, with stable revenue streams and a reduced cost base.
"Post period end we announced the acquisition of Bachmann, which has added a significant new business line to the Company and is a transformative step for our business. Alongside Bachmann, we were also pleased to announce the partnership with Efic, which is a great endorsement for the enlarged business.
"I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Christopher John Berkefeld to the Board and also to thank shareholders for their support and patience in what has been another exciting period for MRS.
"We have already started the second half of the financial year at a pace and we believe the demand for work in Australia has increased after a lull in the resources sector during 2015. I look forward to updating you as to our progress in the coming months."

CEO Statement
Dear Shareholders,
Our aim during the past half-year ended 31 December 2015 (HY 15) was to stabilize our turnover whilst progressing the acquisition of the Bachmann Plant Hire Group ("Bachmann"). We have made good progress on this with the acquisition of Bachmann completing at the end of January 2016 and the enlarged MRS group being readmitted to trading on AIM on 1 February 2016.
Revenue in the first half of 2015 was lower than the previous year, reflecting a decline in the provision of contract personnel and the slower than expected progress of the Papua New Guinea ("PNG") project, with weather and construction issues being the major influencer in these delays. This project is set for completion in mid-2016 and forms an integral part of MRS's larger expansion and diversification strategy in and around PNG.
As an example of our continued diversification, MRS has recently tendered on a large demolition project which is outside our normal sphere of activity. The project is due to start mobilization at end of March 2016 and would run for approximately 6 - 9 months if we were successful with the tender winner due to be advised 22 March 2016.
The Bachmann group has had an excellent first half year to 31 December 2015. These are based on the management reports and unaudited financial statements but will give us a good idea of the positive impact the transaction will have on the enlarged MRS group in the future. The turnover for the Bachmann group was A$13.4M and they reported an unaudited profit of A$1.7M. These numbers do not include any potential rebates for fuel.
The acquisition of Bachmann will provide many synergies to the existing business such as streamlining reporting through systems, access to larger tenders as the enlarged group now has experience and turnover for larger projects, an increased offering of services, additional benefits of the MRS international accreditations which should ultimately lead to a safer workplace and more tender opportunities outside the current region where Bachmann works. I am pleased to advise that the utilization of Bachmann machines at present is around 90-95% and we are currently renting machinery from other companies in order to meet the excess demand.
The company continues to look for suitable acquisitions in the region to expand our service offerings. We do believe the demand for work in Australia has increased after a lull in the resources sector during 2015.
Whilst the company is in the middle of stabilizing and getting a firm grasp of the Bachmann business the company will not announce an interim dividend at this stage.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all employees at MRS for their dedication and for the progress the company has made. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued support.
Paul Morffew
