RNS Number:6252X Nature Technology Solutions Limited 01 June 2007 NATURE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LIMITED Preliminary Results for the Year ended 31st December 2006 I am pleased to report that as a result of the continuing application of management and resources to the evolution of "best available technology" required for the offshore oil industry, the Group is in a number of discussions with major oil and oilfield service companies with regard to expansion of our activities, as I have outlined below. A recently completed contract worth over #450,000 with Norway's largest oil company for the collection of polluted wastewater from near Hammerfest in the Arctic Circle will enhance Group revenues for 2007 and should provide further commercial opportunities. For the year ended 31st December 2006 the Group achieved a modest increase in turnover, and with the focus of resources applied to our small footprint offshore treatment unit (OTU) completion and testing, the Group results again showed a small loss for the period of #73,298 (2005 loss #121,625). However earnings before depreciation, reflecting cash flow from operations including our share of joint ventures, were positive. During 2006 and early 2007 we were pleased to bring additional skills into our team at all levels, including the appointment of Nigel Sandy (former chief executive of Waste Recycling Group) as a non executive director. The staff joining the Group have shown commitment and belief in the future success of the Group and I welcome their contribution to this exciting period in our development. We believe that by the end of 2007 we will have commenced offshore treatment operations having concluded testing, demonstrations, and achievement of regulatory certification. The enhanced team in Norway will be vital to generating ongoing revenues for our OTU operational subsidiary, Northern Treatment AS, in the Norwegian sector. The capability of the containerised OTU to treat polluted wastewater offshore within the acceptable limits of the "zero discharge" philosophy adopted by the Environmental Agency in Norway, should in due course set new standards for the offshore industry elsewhere in the North Sea and worldwide - as higher environmental standards are required or legislated internationally. In the UK North Sea sector the Group is currently discussing the establishment of our treatment capabilities at a quayside location in Aberdeen, in conjunction with a leading multinational oilfield services group. We are also in discussions with regard to a successful environmental remediation business also based in Aberdeen. Our venture in Gibraltar (the Government contract there and subsequent construction of initial treatment facilities being the the foundation of our original AIM listing in 2001) was the major contributor to our improvement in revenues in 2006. The group's 50% joint company Slop Oil Reception and Treatment Ltd., achieved a significant increase in volumes received and treated from the shipping industry. Despite the operational difficulties whilst undergoing very significant capital expenditure in the transition to our new quayside site with substantially increased storage and treatment capacity (in conjunction with a new 20 year Government agreement), a useful increase in profit was achieved. In addition the recovered oil upgrade facilities installed have enabled regular daily export of cleaned oil to Spain by our own road tanker, generating valuable income from such recycling. Future plans include utilisation of our recovered oil in power generation. In Stavanger Norway, at our minority owned joint venture, capital expenditure and installation time incurred in order to cope with more complex wastewaters, had the effect of significantly slowing treatment throughput and as a result the year's financial outcome was disappointing. We will be reviewing the performance of this operation with our joint venture partner in coming months , together with Northern Treatment our OTU company in Norway , in which they are also shareholders. At the end of January 2007 we successfully arranged a placing of ordinary shares in order to ensure the Group's cash resources would support the planned expansion in capabilities required in 2007. As a reflection of their confidence, directors and staff contributed some 15% of the #286,000 subscribed. We believe strongly in the potential success of the Group through the development and exploitation of technologies in the environmental sector, and wiith the strengthening of our Directorate and operational team we are well placed to take advantage of potential opportunities to expand the activities of the Group.
