Chairman's Statement
I reported in my statement accompanying the last accounts to 31 December 2006
that we have been successful in negotiating and winning contracts at a greater
rate than previously anticipated. The mobilisation of these contracts has been
at a slower rate than originally anticipated, thus resulting in our trading at
a loss for the first half of the year, the underlying resultant levels of
activity and pipeline of new business is establishing a long-term foundation
for a business that promises to surpass even our most optimistic beliefs.
Activity is steadily rising as both customers and energy suppliers experience
and realise the benefits of our metering solutions and, as a result, we expect
to be trading profitably in the second half of the year and cash flow positive
in the fourth quarter.
Financial Results
In the six months to 30 June 2007 the Group made a loss after taxation of �
584,910 (2006-loss �346,484), but before a further share option charge of �
56,573 representing a loss per share of 0.25p (2006- loss 0.21p).
Current Activity
The Group has signed a Strategic Alliance with IMServ, part of Invensys plc.
IMServ is the UK's most experienced independent electricity data collector with
a major presence in the collection and management of electricity energy data
through an established customer base who increasingly require similar solutions
for their gas consumption. Through this alliance Energy Assets provides IMServ
with the ability to confidently deliver its clients with a complete energy
solution addressing both electricity and gas remote automated meter reading.
This has already resulted in the development of significant new business which
we believe will lead to increased activity over the coming months and years.
The Group has in addition signed two contracts with major independent energy
suppliers, who cannot be named for reasons of confidentiality, with several
others under negotiation. These contracts, although slower to implement than
end user contracts, will in the longer term provide many times the number of
potential installations, as each energy supplier has a significant number of
customers, many of whom are large multi site portfolios similar to those end
user groups we have announced. Consequently we expect substantive growth will
come from independent energy suppliers.
In addition the end user contracts we have with Marks & Spencer and Woolworths
have been extended to provide additional gas and electricity services, these
will generate long-term sustainable revenues over the life of the contracts.
All of the above contracts have contributed to the Group's four figure
installed base of meters and dataloggers. The rate of installation is
increasing on a monthly basis and the number of installations based upon signed
long-term contracts is expected to increase by some two fold in the second half
and by a further three fold in 2008. The Group has high operational gearing
and the addition of these further installations will add only a small increment
to costs. Consequently we expect to see the full benefit of our current and
expected contracts and strategic alliance with IMServ come through in 2008.
We believe that the Group is operating in a market sector that has significant
growth prospects, encouraged by government and public support through the
increasing awareness of the importance of conserving energy. We look forward
to reporting further contract wins and progress.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements
1. The financial information for the period ended 30 June 2007 is unaudited
and has been prepared on the, basis of the Group's adopted accounting policies.
This information does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section
240 of the Companies Act 1985.
The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2006 has been
extracted from the Group's statutory accounts, which have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The audit report for the year ended 31 December 2006
was unqualified.
2. Loss per share
The loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss after taxation of �
648,928 by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue for the
period of 263,917,554 (2006- 163,080,420). As the Group incurred a loss for the
period, the share options and warrants in existence do not have a dilutive
effect and therefore the basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
3. Dividend
As previously no dividend is recommended.
4. Share capital
At 30 June 2007 the Company had 278,768,383 Ordinary shares of 1p each in
issue. (2006- 246,768,383)
