INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to present the interim results of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2013.

On the 24 September 2013 we announced the appointment of Cameron Luck to the Board of the Company as an Executive Director. Cameron has over 24 years' experience in waste and recycling management and is using his expertise to identify opportunities for the Company in the environmental sector, particularly in the fields of Recycling and Waste to Energy.

Since Cameron's appointment, a total of £350,000 has been raised by way of subscription to allow the Company to invest in these areas and on 5 December 2013 the Company announced it had acquired an option over a 10% interest in Aircraft Recycling Limited ("ARL") (the "Option"), a company set up to dismantle and recycle redundant aircraft and is currently preparing to undertake its first contract with a major international airline. On 7 February 2014 Metroelectric announced that the Company had exercised the Option and also acquired a further 20% interest in ARL, bringing Metroelecric's total holding  in ARL to 30%. At the same time, the Company announced that it had acquired Blaze & Barney Limited, a company operating a large baling machine for compacting materials, such as plastics and metals.

Sales within Powabyke, remained disappointing during the reporting period and underlined the Board's intention to move away from the Company's historic focus on electric vehicles.
