ECOSECURITIES GROUP PLC: Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2007



    EcoSecurities Group plc ("EcoSecurities", or the "Company")
    (LSE:ECO), one of the world's leading companies in the business of
    sourcing, developing and trading carbon credits from greenhouse gas
    emission reduction projects, today announces its interim results for
    the six months ended 30 June 2007.

    Highlights

    -- Further progress in origination - Clean Development Mechanism
    ("CDM") portfolio gross contract volume increased to 178
    million CERs at 30 June 2007 a net increase of 22 million CERs
    or 14% since year end 2006.

    -- On a net entitlement basis, adjusting for contract type, the
    CER portfolio has grown by 29 million tonnes or 23% to 156
    million tonnes at 30 June 2007.

    -- Significant project implementation progress - at 30 June 2007,
    164 PDDs were completed, 164 projects had been submitted to
    validation, 97 had completed the validation process and 71
    were registered with the CDM Executive Board. .These results
    were achieved despite the continuing challenges and delays
    related to the CDM project cycle.

    -- Of the 433 projects in the portfolio, 355 were financed, 127
    were under construction and 149 were operational.

    -- 34 million CERs had been sold forward at 30 June 2007,
    representing expected total forward CER revenue of EUR 410m
    and net trading margin of EUR 181m through to 2013.

    -- During the period, the Group generated first half revenues of
    EUR 5.6m driven by sales of CERs and the Group's initial VER
    sales which, combined, totalled 90% of revenues.

    -- Strategic investment by Credit Suisse to underpin development
    of long term relationship with Credit Suisse's energy
    franchise.

    Current Trading and Outlook

    -- CDM portfolio gross contract volume increased to 185 million
    CERs at 5 September 2007 a net increase of 29 million CERs or
    18.6% since year end 2006. In addition, the Group contracted
    projects expected to generate up to 6.8 million CERs, which
    have not yet been incorporated into the portfolio pending
    completion of a CDM due diligence process.

    -- On a net entitlement basis, the CER portfolio has grown to
    163.3 million tonnes at 5 September 2007.

    -- At 5 September 2007, the number of projects submitted for
    validation had increased to 215.

    -- The post-2012 CDM portfolio gross contract volume increased to
    109.6 million CERs at 5 September 2007 increased from 86
    million CERs reported in May 2007. The post-2012 CDM portfolio
    volume relates to potential production of CERs from the
    Group's projects after 2012 and is incremental to the CDM
    portfolio.

    -- The Group has built its global VER portfolio at 5 September
    2007 to 4.3 million tonnes, further adding to its carbon
    credit volumes.

    -- As the Group grows and expands operations into new markets, it
    is in the process of adding to its senior management team.

    -- The Group's cash balance as of 5 September 2007 was
    approximately EUR 130m, which reflects proceeds of the Credit
    Suisse subscription in June and an institutional placing in
    July.

    Mark Nicholls, Chairman, commented: "EcoSecurities continued to
    make significant progress in the first half of 2007, and further
    strengthened its leadership position in the carbon markets. The Group
    continued to make progress in developing its CDM carbon credit
    portfolio and initiated new activities to expand into the voluntary
    carbon markets, the US market, project investments and secondary
    trading of CERs. The Group's achievements during the period were
    enhanced by further development of the carbon markets and
    strengthening prices for carbon credits."

    "The continued development of the carbon market and of the Group's
    operations to date in 2007 gives the Board confidence for continued
    growth this year and beyond."

    Notes to Editors

    CDM = Clean Development Mechanism, the provision of the Kyoto
    Protocol that governs project level carbon credit transactions between
    developed and developing countries

    CER = Certified Emission Reduction, carbon credits created by
    Clean Development Mechanism projects. One CER corresponds to 1 tonne
    of CO2e emission reductions

    EU ETS = European Union Emissions Trading Scheme, a market based
    "cap and trade" system for green house gases adopted by the European
    Union member states

    Chairman's Statement

    EcoSecurities continued to make significant progress in the first
    half of 2007, and further strengthened its leadership position in the
    carbon markets. The Group continued to make progress in developing its
    CDM carbon credit portfolio and initiated new activities to expand
    into the voluntary carbon markets, the US market, project investments
    and secondary trading of CERs. The Group's achievements during the
    period were enhanced by further development of the carbon markets and
    strengthening prices for carbon credits.

    To expand its core business and develop new markets, EcoSecurities
    completed a EUR 100m equity financing with Credit Suisse and
    institutional investors in Europe and the United States during June
    and July. The strategic relationship with Credit Suisse is expected to
    provide opportunities for the Company and Credit Suisse to globally
    co-operate on a broad range of projects focusing on, but not limited
    to, carbon credit and emission reduction origination and trading. We
    believe the relationship represents a significant endorsement of the
    strength of EcoSecurities' business, strategy and track record.

    External developments helped maintain a high profile for the
    problems of global warming and underline the opportunities in the
    carbon markets. Substantially tighter National Allocation Plans
    ("NAPS") proposed for Phase II of the EU ETS, discussions on climate
    change at the G8 and pending legislation in the US, all bode well for
    continued attention to, and growth in, the carbon markets.

    Given the continued growth of the Group and its expansion plans
    both organically and through acquisition, EcoSecurities intends to add
    to its senior management team.

    As part of this, announced today, Claire Heeley, formerly Company
    Secretary of United Drug plc, assumes the role of Company Secretary
    based in Dublin with immediate effect. Ms. Heeley is a Chartered
    Accountant and had previously served with United Drug since 2002, and
    prior to that was with KPMG for several years.

    Also, the Group intends to appoint a number of experienced
    non-executive directors in due course to support the continued
    expansion of the business.

    The continued development of the carbon market and of the Group's
    operations to date in 2007 gives the Board confidence for continued
    growth this year and beyond.

    Executive Directors' Review for the six months ending 30 June 2007

    The first half saw a further period of rapid growth and intensive
    development activity in the carbon market. The Group's geographic
    reach and depth of expertise enabled it to grow its CER portfolio by
    22 million tonnes during the first half, building on its industry
    leadership status. The Group's market share remained significant, with
    71 of the 722 projects registered by the CDM Executive Board ("CDM
    EB") at 30 June 2007 being implemented by EcoSecurities, despite the
    delays and challenges related to the CDM registration process. The
    Group continued to commercialise its carbon credit portfolio, selling
    forward a further 5 million CERs during the period, which is expected
    to generate an additional EUR 28m in net trading margins for the
    Group. Costs and cash controls remain a key focus for the Group.

    The Group began to expand into related markets, leveraging its
    strong reputation and track record. Progress was made in developing
    business within the US and international voluntary carbon markets, in
    building a post-2012 carbon credit portfolio, in secondary CER
    trading, and project investments.

    Origination

    During the period, the Group brought 80 new projects into its CDM
    portfolio and by the end of June 2007, there were 433 projects capable
    of generating 178 million tonnes of CERs through 2012. In line with
    the Group's policy of continually assessing the projects within the
    portfolio for expected CER generation, this total takes into account
    volume adjustments. As projects progress through the CDM
    implementation cycle and begin operating, an increased amount of
    information becomes available to support estimates of project volumes
    and individual project performance. The CDM project portfolio remains
    highly diversified by geography, technology and CDM methodology.
    Projects were located in 36 countries and encompassed 18 different
    technologies at period end.

    On a net basis to EcoSecurities, adjusting for contract type
    (principal, project development or agency), the portfolio grew from
    127 million tonnes to 156 million tonnes.

    Further progress was made in developing new markets during the
    period, particularly in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The Group
    established a presence in Kiev, Bern and Tokyo during the first half.
    After opening an office in the Middle East in late 2006, the Group
    entered a strategic partnership with the Dubai Multi Commodities
    Centre ("DMCC") to develop CDM projects in the region. So far this
    year, the performance of Group offices in China, Africa and Mexico has
    been particularly strong.

    The strategic relationship with Credit Suisse is expected to
    bolster origination efforts through Credit Suisse's extensive network
    of clients, and provides a facility for the origination of emission
    reduction projects of up to EUR 1.0bn, offering a credit support
    structure for EcoSecurities to contract projects which previously were
    unattainable.

    The Group has (i) built upon its post-2012 CDM portfolio, (ii)
    entered the voluntary market and began to contract US and
    international VERs, and (iii) acquired (1) million CERs in the
    secondary market, all of which are in addition to building the core
    CDM portfolio to 178 million CERs.

    Implementation

    Despite numerous delays experienced in external validation of
    projects, obtaining host country approval and the processing of
    projects by the CDM EB, the number of projects registered by the Group
    increased from 53 to 71 during the first half of the year, making it
    the largest portfolio of registered projects in the world. These
    registered projects are capable of producing 22 million CERs by 2012
    which is up by 6 million CERs since year end.

    At period end, 164 projects had completed Project Design Documents
    ("PDDs"), 97 had been validated and 128 had received Host Nation
    Approval. A total of 149 projects in EcoSecurities portfolio were
    operating at 30 June 2007, 127 were in construction and a total of 355
    were financed.

    Key highlights of the CDM project implementation process for the
    Group included the registration of Al-Shaheen, the first gas flaring
    capture project in the Middle East, located offshore of Qatar, and the
    Company's first project registrations in Thailand after the Thai
    government issued its first project approvals.

    Furthermore, VERs from CDM projects yet to be registered were
    verified during the first half for sale to voluntary market buyers.
    This opens a new window of market opportunity for the Company from its
    existing CDM portfolio and helps allay the problem of delays in the
    CDM registration process.

    Commercialisation

    The Group continued to make progress in the commercialisation of
    CERs in the period. A total of 34 million CERs had been sold forward
    at 30 June 2007, up from 29 million at the end of 2006. This
    represents expected total forward CER revenues of EUR 410m and net
    trading margin of EUR 181m through 2013. The Group's sales of CERs
    were intentionally restricted earlier in the year due to lower CER
    prices, but sales increased along with higher CER prices later in the
    period.

    CER prices strengthened in the second quarter of 2007, after a
    weak start to the year. Substantially tighter EU ETS Phase II NAPs
    were largely completed in the second quarter, with only seven smaller
    nations continuing to negotiate with the EU. These countries are
    proposing incremental emission allowance allocations representing 4%
    of the maximum annual amount of allowances that could be issued by the
    EU.

    Demand for both CERs and VERs from voluntary buyers has grown both
    in Europe and the United States. The Group made its first VER sales
    during the first half. Voluntary buyers are also purchasing CERs to
    offset their carbon footprint, generating stronger pricing than
    compliance related purchases in the EU and Japan.

    The UNFCCC's International Transaction Log (ITL), the central hub
    of the settlement system which will deliver traded allowances from
    seller to buyers, is now expected to be launched in December 2007.
    When the ITL launches, and as the volume of issuance of CERs from
    registered projects increases, the growth of trading in the secondary
    market is expected to increase significantly with the improved
    transferability of CERs. The Group is well positioned to take
    advantage of this with its ability to trade with project operators
    quickly and efficiently in most CDM countries.

    Investment

    The Group's investment activities continued to expand in 2007 with
    commitments for up to an additional EUR 3 million being agreed during
    the first half. The investments made primarily take the form of
    secured, advance payments for CERs which enable the Group to increase
    its CER production as well as providing an attractive return on
    capital. Investments in projects also continued to grow during the
    period, with the Group committing to fund further N2O projects
    alongside landfill gas and small hydro projects. Additional resources
    are being deployed to increase the scope of emission reduction related
    investment and business development opportunities generated through
    the Group's worldwide market presence.

    Consulting

    As announced previously, the Group acquired the business of
    Trexler Climate + Energy Services ("TC+ES"), an internationally
    recognised leader in the emerging field of climate change risk
    management, which was merged with EcoSecurities' existing Consulting
    group to create EcoSecurities Global Consulting Services division.
    Simultaneously, the Consulting group is evolving from a business with
    a sole emphasis on CDM project documentation and methodology
    development for external clients, to one which will in the future
    focus much more intensively on: 1) participating in relevant public
    policy debates; 2) using corporate strategy consulting to establish
    key relationships for EcoSecurities going forward; and 3) serving as
    an internal intelligence management function. It will also continue to
    support the Group's other business units as it has in the past.

    Financial

    Income statement

    Group revenue rose to EUR 5.6m for the first half of 2007, EUR
    4.8m was derived by the sale of 283,200 CERs, acquired via the Group's
    primary and secondary CER portfolio, and 37,500 VERs. Consulting
    revenue during the first half of 2007 was lower than expected due to
    the focus on internal CDM project implementation and the change in
    focus of the consulting unit. Gross margins on carbon credit sales
    were 33% during the period reflecting a mix of costs and pricing for
    CERs and VERs in relation to the Group's core CDM, secondary trading
    and voluntary market activities.

    Administrative expenses during the period grew to EUR 14.7m from
    EUR 9.1m in 2006 and were in line with management's expectations, and
    reflecting the costs and investments made in continuing to build and
    operate the Group's worldwide network. The primary business expense
    related to staff and associated costs, as headcount increased 63% to
    260 at 30 June 2007 from 160 at 30 June 2006.

    Financing income totalled EUR 1.2m, which represented interest
    earned on short-term bank deposits. Financing costs totalled EUR 0.7m,
    which were comprised of interest on short term debt and unrealised
    foreign exchange differences on the Group's financial assets and
    liabilities. While the Group as a whole operated at a loss, it
    incurred a tax charge of EUR 1.1m during the first half due to taxes
    at the subsidiary company level. The net loss increased to EUR 13.2m
    in 2007 from EUR 8.7m in 2006 which resulted from higher costs of
    continued growth and higher levels of activity.

    Balance sheet

    Intangible assets increased by EUR 1.1m during the year reflecting
    the Group's policy of capitalising identifiable costs of CDM project
    implementation and project investments. These costs are then amortised
    based on expected future CER flows from the projects to which they
    relate.

    229,000 CERs were either verified or verified and issued during
    the first half and remained in inventory at the end of the period.
    Current and non current trade receivables of EUR 7m reflect amounts
    relating to sales of CERs in the current and prior period pending the
    establishment of the International Transaction Log to complete
    settlement of these sales. The balance of trade receivables pertain to
    receivables from the consulting business of EUR 0.2m, advance payment
    for the purchase of CERs of EUR 0.8m and other receivables related to
    business operations of EUR 2.8m..

    In total during the first half, 21 CDM project investments were
    made in China, Mexico, Indonesia and Tunisia with commitments
    amounting to EUR 3m which increased both fixed assets and receivables.
    Completed investments in project related equipment totalled EUR 0.7m.
    A further EUR 1.2m was invested in project related transactions to
    secure the rights to CERs. The number of projects and CERs which the
    Group has secured without the need for upfront payments has been
    greater than anticipated during the period which has conserved capital
    resources.

    The cash balance at 30 June 2007 was EUR 79.9m, reflecting the EUR
    44m Credit Suisse subscription which closed at the end of the period.
    As previously noted, a further EUR 54m placement was completed in
    July, shortly after the period end.

    Cash flow

    The development of the Group's overseas operations resulted in
    operating cash outflows of EUR 20.6m during the first half. A portion
    of CDM project implementation activities resulted in cash outflows of
    EUR 0.9m which were capitalised. The remaining cash outflow from
    investing activities totalled EUR 1.3m which consisted of other
    project related investments, costs due to the expansion of the Group's
    infrastructure and the acquisition of TC+ES. In respect of financing
    cash flows, the Group raised new equity of EUR 44m from Credit Suisse
    during the period, as discussed above.

    Current Trading

    CDM portfolio gross contract volume had increased to 185 million
    CERs at 5 September 2007, a net increase of 29 million CERs or 18.6%
    since year end 2006. On a net entitlement basis, the CER portfolio has
    grown by 36 million tonnes or 28% to 163 million tonnes at 5 September
    2007. Project origination has been particularly successful in China,
    the Middle East and Africa in the renewable energy and fuel switch
    sectors over recent months. Also, a contract with PLN, the national
    utility company in Indonesia, for geothermal and hydro projects was
    announced in August.

    Despite increasing competition for larger projects, the Group has
    maintained its origination success and continues to build a good
    origination pipeline.

    As at 5 September 2007, 222 PDDs were completed, 215 projects had
    been submitted for validation, 102 had completed the validation
    process and 74 were registered with the CDM Executive Board. Of the
    456 projects in the portfolio, 382 were financed, 294 were under
    construction and 145 were operational

    The Company's first N2O abatement project in China has commenced
    carbon credit generation after the completion of baseline monitoring.
    This project is one of EcoSecurities' largest N2O projects and is
    expected to produce 2.3 million CERs by the end of 2012. Several other
    projects are progressing through the baseline determination process at
    present.

    To date EcoSecurities has pre-sold 35 million CERs, predominantly
    to large corporate and government buyers. The expected net trading
    margin on current forward CER sales of 35 million tonnes now totals
    EUR 191m. While pricing has been strong over the summer at an average
    of EUR 16 for the Company, volumes have been seasonally low.

    Recently, CER prices have been increasing in relation to European
    Allowance prices. Substantially tighter National Allocation Plans
    proposed for Phase II of the EU ETS, and the fact that many EU ETS
    regulated companies are considering swapping their capacity to utilise
    CERs for compliance obligations in exchange for their EUA allocations,
    have contributed to this positive trend.

    The post-2012 CDM portfolio gross contract volume increased to
    109.6 million CERs at 5 September 2007, a net increase of 24 million
    since May 2007. This reflects efforts by the Group to contract for
    post-2012 volumes from both existing and new projects.

    The Group had built its global VER portfolio at 5 September 2007
    to 4.3 million tonnes, further adding to its carbon credit volumes.
    The portfolio is comprised of pre-registration CDM projects and US
    projects, predominantly in the methane capture and industrial gas
    abatement sectors. The voluntary market is also growing due to
    interest on the part of non-regulated corporate buyers in Europe and
    through pre-compliance demand in the US.

    In view of growth in the market, and following the financing in
    June and July, EcoSecurities has begun to devote additional resources
    to expansion into new markets for VERs, secondary CER trading and to
    expand its investment and acquisition related activities the result of
    which will be a small increase in the cost base for the year.

    Outlook

    Prospects for the remainder of 2007 are positive, given the
    Group's leading position in the carbon market, strong financial
    resources and strategic relationships. The Group's core business model
    - the global origination, implementation and commercialisation of
    carbon credits under the CDM - continues to concentrate on the
    considerable opportunities available. The Group intends to continue to
    grow the volumes of carbon credits contracted and to consider
    acquisitions, which would add further scale to its diversified
    portfolio. Furthermore, as highlighted at the time of the recent
    fundraising, EcoSecurities intends to make further investments in US
    market expansion, secondary CER trading, voluntary markets and
    emission reduction and clean energy project investments.
