Funding
As previously reported, the Company remains critically dependent on continuing financial support by TPS's parent company, Vale S.A.

Carlos Neves, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Our main goal was to continue improving our performance and the results achieved in the first half of 2016 are fully in line with management expectations. They represent an important milestone under the challenges we have for 2016, moreover considering the uncertainties about the ultimate outcome of the Strategic Review and the BREXIT short term impacts on our customers and suppliers business plans.
The hard work of our employees, in all areas, has demonstrated that the trend to profitability achieved last year could be maintained while we keep reinforcing the pillars for our continuous growth. The increasing order intake in the first six months on 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 together with the benefits derived from the efficiencies in cost control and the new R&D developments are now underpinning future growth.
I remain confident that we will continue to deliver our commitments in 2016 and with the new orders received, and expected to be received, reinforce and refine the successful strategy of turnaround with limited resources."

OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Business of the Company
Turbo Power Systems is a technology-led Company that designs and manufactures high-speed permanent magnet electric motors, generators and power electronics systems and provides bespoke solutions to transport, industrial, energy conversion, and military markets.
Its track record in engineering innovation, which has been built and tested over a substantial number of years, allows the Company to meet challenging design and manufacturing briefs with specific requirements relating to environmental performance and performance to volume demands across the world.
TPS has a proven and worldwide track record in the development and deployment of equipment in many sectors, especially in rail and industrial. Long term relationships with customers in these markets have been built based on delivering competitive products with proven reliability.
Developed over the last 30 years, expertise on high-speed electrical machines and power electronics, allows the Company to exploit its current and future portfolio and adjust accordingly to grow successfully in its chosen markets.
Way Forward
As a technology-led business, the Company understands the challenges of the market regarding quality, costs and timing. Since 2013 TPS has concentrated on three important pillars to successfully implement the strategy of achieving sustained profitability:
-- Improve the quality of the portfolio;
-- Superior execution within design development, manufacturing operations and support activities; and
-- Consistent delivery of internal improvements.
These will continue to underpin the Company's strategy as the Company drives forward in its chosen markets.
Current Operations
Revenue in the quarter was up by 11% compared with the first quarter of 2016 but down by 9% on the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in the Engineering design revenue from 2015 was due to the delay in signing new contracts in the first half of 2016.
The Company increased the production capacity for Daikin as this product line used capacity arising from the completion of the Bombardier contracts. Deliveries to Eaton of the Jettison Fuel Pump continued in line with their requirements.
Gross margin increased by 5% from Q1 2016 to 44%, reflecting the benefit of the Company's focus on opportunities for efficiencies. Gross margin increased by 2% from Q1 2015.
The overhead base has been reducing since its peak level in June 2012, with overall expenses in the quarter of GBP1.37 million down 9% compared to GBP1.50 million at 30 June 2015.
Headcount at 30 June 2016 was 115, up four from 31 December 2015 and up two from 31 March 2016.
Strategic Review
On 20 February 2015 shareholders were informed that the Board are conducting a Strategic Review of the Company's business and as part of this review are looking at a potential sale of the Company. The Board has appointed Lincoln International LLP to assist in this process. The Company is a Canadian Business Corporation, registered in Yukon, Canada and is not subject to the provisions of the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
Further announcements were made on 12 November 2015, 7 January 2016, 29 March 2016 and 6 May 2016 explaining that all expressions of interest received to date as part of the Strategic Review from potential offerors for 100% of the issued and to be issued share capital of the Company on a debt-free, cash-free basis have been indicatively priced at a substantial discount to the share price.
The Board continues to regularly discuss with its majority owner how best to proceed with the Strategic Review. Further announcements will be made in due course, as appropriate. In the meantime there can be no certainty that any potential transaction will proceed, or as to the terms of any such transaction. The Company may discontinue the strategic review process at any time.
Support from TAO UK
On 29 March 2016 the Company entered into a new loan of GBP314,000 which accrues interest at 6% per annum, with its parent company, TAO UK, repayable on 1 April 2017, which can be extended at the Company's request for a further year.
As at 30 June 2016 the loan amount was GBP0.31 million plus accrued unpaid interest of GBP 0.01 million (30 June 2015: GBP10.48 million plus accrued unpaid interest of GBP1.63 million, the full outstanding loan was waived in full on 12 November 2015).
Summary
In summary, the Company has continued to implement its strategy of bidding for profitable production and development contracts, whilst maintaining a disciplined and considered approach to costs.
We believe that this was reflected in the significant improvement in the gross margin and operating profit of the Company during 2015, which is continuing into 2016.
As noted in the first quarter results, whilst the current order book extends over the next two years and beyond, the need to win further substantial orders, execution of those orders and completion of development programmes in a consistent and timely manner are all key to delivering management's plans for improved results during 2016 and beyond.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to a "going concern", which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
As at 30 June 2016 the Company had net operating outflows, with a net debt of GBP3.54 million, being GBP3.64 million of debt less GBP0.10 million of cash. The Company has a cumulative retained deficit of GBP99.41 million as at 30 June 2016 and was profit making for the period then ended.
The Company remains critically dependent upon i) customers paying to contractual terms and ii) the continued financial support of its intermediate parent undertaking TAO Sustainable Power Solutions (UK) Limited (TAO UK), who in turn is dependent on their parent undertaking VSE (which in turn is dependent on its parent company Vale S.A. (Vale)). The Company relies on TAO for continued financial support in the form of the loan made available to the Company, and in order to meet any shortfall in budgeted or forecasted working capital requirements and support the Company's growth plans. If not secured, this may result in the curtailment of the Company's activities.
However, the Directors believe that they will succeed in delivering the Company's projected financial performance and that financial support from TAO UK and, ultimately, VSE, and its parent company, Vale, Brazil's largest mining company, will remain in place to enable the Company to meet budgeted and forecasted working capital requirements and support the Company's growth plans. Although there are no formal letters of support in place for the purpose of the directors' going concern assessment of the Company, the directors of the Company have taken comfort from the actions taken by TAO UK, in that loans have been provided when required (the latest being GBP0.31 million on 29 March 2016), that the existing debt was waived in November 2015 and that VSE has Board representation, in forming their conclusion that they believe it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. Accordingly, they have continued to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.
If the Company is unable to either generate positive cash flows from operations or ensure the continued financial support from TAO UK and ultimately VSE and its parent company, or secure additional debt or equity financing, these conditions and events indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt regarding the going concern assumption and, accordingly, the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications, which could be material, which would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.

General and Administration expenses have decreased by GBP0.05 million (12%) in June 2016 over the first quarter, benefiting from foreign exchange gains of GBP0.06 million as a result of the change in the value of the GBP following the result of the UK referendum held on 23 June 2016 to leave the European Union.

The Company has not changed its approach to Currency risk and Interest rate risk management from that of the prior year and as disclosed in the annual statements at 31 December 2015.
Currency risk management
The Company's expenditure is principally denominated in Sterling, which is funded from Sterling cash balances. Exchange differences, which arise on consolidation of the Company's Canadian operations, are included in exchange adjustments within the income statement. At 30 June 2016 the Sterling equivalent of Canadian Dollar denominated net liabilities amounted to GBP2,200 (31 December 2015: net liabilities GBP1,950).
The Company receives a significant proportion of its revenue in US Dollars (including from contracts with Canadian customers). As such the Company routinely maintains a significant receivables balance in US Dollars, which are revalued at each period end. At 30 June 2016 the Sterling equivalent of the US Dollar denominated assets amounted to GBP1.33 million (31 December 2015: GBP1.96 million).
To manage its foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, the Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts. Further information is provided in Note 7 Derivative Financial Instruments.
Interest rate risk management
The analysis of the Company's financial assets and borrowings analysed between floating and fixed interest rates is shown below

The fixed rate borrowings are at 6.0% per annum.
Financial instruments
The Company's financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of the cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, trade payables and loans.

The amounts at which the assets and liabilities above are recorded are considered to approximate to fair value.
Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the financial instruments. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of trade receivables and payables. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the group for similar financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses foreign exchange forwards to help manage its foreign exchange risk. The Company classifies these derivatives as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. Derivatives are classified as current assets.
Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the income statement within 'Other gains - net' in the period in which they arise.
Financial Risk Management and Capital Structure
The Company's risk management programme remains as detailed on page 51 in the Annual Report and Financial Statements 31 December 2015. There have been no significant changes since 31 December 2015.
Further information is provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis and the notes to these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

A summary of the loan movement is:

This amount is repayable on 1 April 2017, which can be extended, at the Company's request, for a further year, and accrues interest at 6% per annum, payable annually
Critical accounting policies and estimates
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As at 30 June 2016 the Company had net operating cash outflows. Therefore the Company may require additional funding which, if not raised, may result in the curtailment of activities. The Company has a cumulative deficit of GBP99.41 million as at 30 June 2016.
Further information on Going Concern is provided in Note 2.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the financial year are disclosed on page 42 in the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 31 December 2015.

1 Reporting entity
Turbo Power Systems Inc. ("The Company") is subsisting pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Yukon Territory). The Company's registered office is Suite 200-204 Lambert Street, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 3T2, Canada.
The Company conducts operations through its wholly owned subsidiary company, Turbo Power Systems Limited ("TPSL"), whose main trading address is 1 Queens Park, Queensway North, Team Valley Trading Estate, Gateshead NE11 0QD, United Kingdom.
The Company's parent undertaking is TAO Sustainable Power Solutions (UK) Limited ("TAO UK"), a company registered in England and Wales, UK. The Company's ultimate parent company is Vale S.A. ("Vale"), a company registered in Brazil.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the quarter ended 30 June 2016 comprises of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's subsidiaries comprise:
Trading Place of % Ownership status incorporation Turbo Power Systems Limited Trading England 100% Turbo Power Systems Development Limited Dormant England 100% Intelligent Power Systems Limited Dormant England 100% Nada-Tech Limited Dormant England 100% 2 Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to a "going concern", which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
As at 30 June 2016 the Company had net operating outflows, with a net debt of GBP3.54 million, being GBP3.64 million of debt less GBP0.10 million of cash. The Company has a cumulative deficit of GBP99.41 million as at 30 June 2016 and was profit making for the period then ended.
The Company continues to be critically dependent upon i) customers paying to contractual terms and ii) the continued financial support of its intermediate parent undertaking TAO Sustainable Power Solutions (UK) Limited (TAO UK), who in turn is dependent on their parent undertaking VSE (which in turn is dependent on its parent company Vale S.A. (Vale)). The Company relies on TAO for continued financial support in the form of the loan made available to the Company, and in order to meet any shortfall in budgeted or forecasted working capital requirements and support the Company's growth plans. If not secured, this may result in the curtailment of the Company's activities.
However the Directors believe that they will succeed in delivering the Company's projected financial performance and that financial support from TAO UK and, ultimately, its parent company, Vale, Brazil's largest mining company, will remain in place to enable the Company to meet budgeted and forecasted working capital requirements and support the Company's growth plans. Although there are no formal letters of support in place for the purpose of the directors' going concern assessment of the Company, the directors of the Company have taken comfort from the actions taken by TAO UK, in that loans have been provided when required (the latest being GBP0.31 million on 29 March 2016), that the existing debt was waived in November 2015 and that VSE has Board representation,, in forming their conclusion that they believe it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. Accordingly, they have continued to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.
If the Company is unable to either generate positive cash flows from operations or ensure the continued financial support from TAO UK and ultimately VSE and its parent company, or secure additional debt or equity financing, these conditions and events indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt regarding the going concern assumption and, accordingly, the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications, which could be material, which would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.
3 Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, and using the same methods of computation.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issuance by the Board of Directors on 28 July 2016.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in GBP sterling, rounded to the nearest GBP1,000, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
4 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to a 'going concern', which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As at 30 June 2016 the Company had net operating cash outflows. Therefore the Company may require additional funding which, if not raised, may result in the curtailment of activities. The Company has a cumulative deficit of GBP99.41 million as at 30 June 2016.
Further information on Going Concern is provided in Note 2.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected.

Onerous Contracts: The Company entered 2015 with one contract where the estimated material and labour costs were in excess of the expected revenues. In 2015 the final GBP77,000 was utilised as the contract was concluded. There are no onerous contracts in 2016.
Asset Retirement Obligations: During 2010 the Company recognised a requirement for a provision for the asset retirement obligations related to the two properties it then leased. One lease has subsequently terminated in 2013 and the other will terminate in 2022. Accordingly a provision, based on the present value of the future expected expenditure was recorded at GBP674,000 as at 31 December 2010. Following a 2015 review of the provision against expected costs the Company released GBP39,000 of this provision. There has been a further release of GBP29,000 in the second quarter of 2016. The Company has recorded no further increase in accretion expense in 2016 (Q2 2015: GBPnil).
Warranty: Production units sold by the Company are provided with a warranty against operational failure. The warranty period provided is dependent upon the sales agreement with the customer and the nature of the unit, but typically is between one and two years from the date of delivery. The warranty provision is maintained at a level calculated to reflect the current costs of repair and incidence of failure of existing and similar units.
During the final quarter of 2015 the Company received a claim from a customer for warranty, relating to a fault within motor units delivered to a customer during 2013 to 2015. The Company included a one off provision expense in 2015 of GBP0.50 million of which GBP0.44 million remained at 31 December 2015. The Company has utilised a further GBP0.24 million in the first six months of 2016 leaving a provision of GBP0.21 million at 30 June 2016. See Note 9.
9 Contingent Liabilities
As reported in Note 8 Provisions above, during the final quarter of 2015 the Company received a claim from a customer for warranty, relating to a fault within motor units delivered during 2013 to 2015.
The financial statements include a one off expense during 2015 of GBP0.50 million, of which GBP0.44 million remained as a liability as at 31 December 2015. In the first half of 2016 a further GBP0.23million was utilised, with GBP0.21 million remaining at 30 June 2016. The provision was made to cover the costs of the replacement parts to be supplied and where the cost can be accurately estimated. It is expected that the majority of the remaining cash outlay will be in the third quarter of 2016.
The matter is subject to an insurance claim by the Company for costs requested by the customer beyond the unit replacement costs. To date some costs have been covered by the insurance company. There is significant uncertainty about the amount of some of these further costs and therefore the amount of any further insurance claim and whether the insurance claim will cover all the costs. There is also significant uncertainty as to whether the Company is liable for some or all the further costs that the customer is requesting.
The Directors believe that based on independent advice (which continues to be taken) and their current assessment of the facts that the provision made is appropriate. However, the final amount is dependent upon the outcome of the agreements between the parties.
10 Loans and borrowings
On 29 March 2016 the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Turbo Power Systems Limited had entered into an agreement to draw down on a new loan to be provided by TAO UK, to support working capital requirements. The additional amount available to draw down as follows:
29 March 2016 GBP314,000
This amount is repayable on 1 April 2017, which can be extended, at the Company's request, for a further year, and accrues interest at 6% per annum, payable annually.
