Cenkos Securities plc CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report on the progress made by Leaf Clean Energy Company ("Leaf" or the "Company") in the six months ended 31 December 2010. During the period your Company focused on building an in-house team capable of actively managing our portfolio companies. An important element of our strategy was to ensure that additional operational expertise was brought to bear in order to manage the portfolio in the most effective manner and drive further value from our investments. This focus has delivered greater stability and has served the Company and its investee companies well. I am encouraged by Leaf's performance and continue to believe that we are well positioned to deliver on our goals.

Portfolio performance

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the extraordinary accomplishments of the new Leaf management team over the past nine months. Under the leadership of executive director, Bran Keogh, they have established a Washington, DC, office; identified and recruited an excellent team of investment professionals; and implemented new controls and procedures appropriate for the business. At the same time, they completed a review of the Leaf portfolio to identify and implement additional opportunities at our investee companies to maximize their value. All of this has been achieved with a significant reduction in cost compared to that of the former asset advisor.

I would also like to thank my fellow non-executive board members for their increased involvement, keen insights and tireless efforts in overseeing the transition from the former asset advisor to the new in-house team.

Performance across Leaf's portfolio continues to be satisfactory. The economic slowdown and sharp contraction in credit markets has diminished lending activity and thereby impaired the pace of project development and consequently growth. In particular, companies that relied on project finance were adversely affected, since the flow of debt and equity investments into renewable energy projects was disrupted. Nevertheless, the development of our portfolio continues apace and our investee companies have by and large continued to make progress, contending well with the pressure of this challenging environment.  As the Leaf portfolio starts to mature, we will continue to explore potential opportunities to realise financial rewards for our shareholders.

Several of our portfolio companies have recently achieved critical milestones:

§ Vital Renewable Energy Company (VREC) consummated the acquisition of an operating ethanol production facility in Goias, Brazil. This is VREC's first acquisition of an operational asset and offers significant expansion potential that will be aggressively pursued by the company, complementing organically its envisioned growth via follow-on acquisitions;

§ SkyFuel has secured independent verification and validation of product performance, industry peer recognition of the innovativeness of its technology, and successful completion of certain testing programs. As a result, the company expects to begin commercial sales of its equipment this year;

§ Miasolé has maintained its recent strong momentum by attaining UL certification on its 13.0 per cent efficiency CIGS solar panels, the highest level to date for commercial-size CIGS modules. The company expects to commence shipment of these higher-efficiency modules in the second quarter of 2011.

Economic and political background

The business environment in which Leaf operates continues to improve. The U.S. economy is showing renewed signs of strength, driven primarily by near-record-low interest rates, as well as substantial fiscal stimulus programs undertaken by federal and state governments to reinvigorate economic activity. Additionally, there has been an improvement across credit and equity markets over the first half of the financial year, with the latter appreciably above their lows of early 2009. These positive signs offer the prospect that momentum will build in our markets through the second half of our fiscal year.

Another positive development has been the improvement in the environment for realisations. The U.S. clean tech sector saw eight successful public offerings, raising more than $1.2 billion during the period covered by this report - well above last year's equivalents. Merger & acquisition activity has remained steady. Looking forward, economic fundamentals in the markets of focus for your Company continue to rally and this creates a positive medium-term outlook. Your Company is well placed to take advantage of the rebound in economic activity and business sentiment, to generate value from its portfolio.

Despite the positive market developments, the recent congressional elections in the U.S. have heralded movements which some commentators expect will lead to significant political change in the coming months. As a result, there is some uncertainty about the regulatory and policy framework in the short term. It is too soon to judge the implications, if any, for our business of these political developments. However, it is our expectation that the medium- to long-term outlook will remain supportive of our industry and businesses.

Net assets

During the year ended 31 December 2010, Leaf's net asset value (NAV) per share rose by 6.9 per cent, from 158.23 cents to 169.11 cents, with 0.9 per cent of this increase occurring during the six month period of this interim report. The one-year increase resulted mainly from share repurchases, more than offsetting the impact of the buyout of the former asset advisor. Of our US$232 million of net assets, US$52 million was held in cash, of which US$3 million is committed to portfolio companies. The Board is of the view that the balance of US$49 million provides sufficient liquidity to meet the needs of the portfolio.

Outlook

Leaf continues to perform well and is strongly positioned to grow and develop. The broader outlook for markets continues to be positive. Our priorities for the second half of the year are to continue to commit significant resources to managing the investments we have made in our portfolio companies. Our intention remains to deliver growth and value for our shareholders and your Board believes that there are grounds for confidence in both the short- and medium term. I look forward to reporting further progress at the end of the fiscal year.

The Interim Report and Accounts set out below incorporate both financial statements for the Company and consolidated financial statements for the wider Leaf Group. References to NAV in my report and the Management Report reflect the Company's NAV.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

During this interim period the Leaf management team continued Leaf's strategy of focusing on its existing portfolio of investee companies and on building its in-house capabilities, while keeping a careful eye out for potential new investment opportunities. While the operating environment faced by Leaf and its investee companies continues to be challenging, the macro environment shows continuing signs of improvement, and Leaf management remains confident that its work with the portfolio and its internal organization will produce satisfactory results for the Company.

Leaf management and the Leaf Board reviewed a number of new opportunities during the six months period ending 31 December 2010 but Leaf decided not to make any new investments. Leaf will continue to actively seek new, high-quality investment opportunities. Additionally, management has ensured that Leaf has adequately reserved capital to meet the needs of its portfolio. For the period under review, Leaf has made additional investments in several of its current investee companies and has continued to provide significant operational support to these companies as well. Leaf management would like to highlight several noteworthy events:

·; Leaf made an additional US$25 million of direct equity and debt investments into existing portfolio businesses.

·; The Company earned US$2.0 million of interest income from debt investments in the portfolio companies. This income has been recorded in the intermediate holding companies and included in the assessment of valuations for the relevant subsidiaries.

·; The Company repurchased 5.9 million shares at an average price of 70.64p, taking advantage of the weakness in the Company's share price to deliver value to shareholders.

·; Leaf achieved significant cost reductions during the interim period versus the prior period as a result of replacing the former asset advisor with an in house management team (see Notes 8 and 9 to the Company financial statements).

Financial Performance

Leaf's total NAV on 31 December 2010 was US$232 million, US$7.9 million lower than the NAV at 30 June 2010. The change in NAV over the interim period resulted mainly from a US$6.7 million share repurchase, with the balance being the Company's US$1.2 million comprehensive loss for the period. US$52 million of the Company's NAV was held in cash and US$185 million in investments.

NAV per share for the Leaf portfolio was 169.11 cents or 108.0 pence at US$1.5657 to the £1. This was an increase of 0.9% for the six month period from 30 June 2010 and 6.9% for the one year period from 31 December 2009. The increase for the one year period was due primarily to share repurchases (+13.9%), offset by termination costs of the former asset advisor (-3.1%), the comprehensive loss for the period (-3.0%), and exchange rate losses (-1.0%). The increase for the six month period to 31 December 2010 was due primarily to share repurchases (+1.4%) offset by the comprehensive loss for the period (-0.6%).

Some key performance milestones achieved by Leaf Clean Energy and its portfolio companies during the past year included:

·; MiaSolé announced that the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) had independently confirmed the 15.7% efficiency of its large area production modules. This new world record for highest efficiency of commercial scale thin-film solar modules beats MiaSolé's own previous record and will allow MiaSolé to offer solar modules with the efficiency of polysilicon and the lower manufacturing costs of thin-film modules.

·; VREC closed its acquisition of an operating ethanol production facility in Goias, Brazil.

·; SkyFuel won the "CSP Commercialized Technology Innovation of the Year" award, relocated and consolidated its headquarters to Colorado in preparation for an anticipated commercial expansion, and surpassed the 25 year weathering mark in the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) testing at NREL's Ultra‐Accelerated Weathering Station (UAWS)for its ReflecTech® Mirror Film, demonstrating long term durability against ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Market Environment

Leaf's fiscal first half ended 31 December 2010 saw continued strengthening of the U.S. economy and the public stock markets along with growing signs of a thaw in the credit markets. The U.S. elections in November brought Republican control of the House of Representatives, which will have implications for renewable energy in the short term, although it remains unclear exactly what those implications are. On the positive side, the lame duck U.S. Congress passed a one year extension of the section 1603 federal tax grant program. In another positive development, President Obama's budget proposal to the new Congress demonstrated his administration's continued commitment with respect to federal spending and policies promoting renewable energy projects and programs in the U.S., including US$8 billion (a one-third increase) for clean energy projects, even in the face of spending freezes and cuts affecting a broad swath of the federal budget. Another positive note was the resounding defeat in California of Proposition 23, the passage of which would have repealed a key California law that has created the most supportive environment in the US for renewable energy standards. Significantly, Californians defeated this measure despite a very troubled local economy.

Venture Capital and private equity investment in the clean energy industry declined in dollar terms during the second half of calendar 2010, mainly due to fewer big deals occurring as compared to the first half of 2010. However, the number of deals remained flat and was up for the year versus calendar 2009. For the calendar year, the top investment sector for clean energy was solar, with 24% of total investment dollars invested in solar related companies. The M&A market for 2010 was up slightly in terms of the number of deals but showed significant growth (43%) over 2009 in total dollar value terms.

In the public markets, prices of renewable energy companies, as measured by the NEX index, have continued their modest recovery and appear to be picking up steam. The NEX index underperformed the S&P 500 by more than 20% for 2010. However, growth in the NEX accelerated and outpaced the S&P 500 during the second half of 2010, increasing by 26.5% as compared to 21.9% for the S&P 500. The NEX price remains less than half of its 2007 high, however and continued high growth will be necessary before public market valuations for renewable energy companies ease their pressure on private company valuations.

Outlook

Leaf's management believes that the diversity and balance of the Leaf portfolio together with its focus on management attention and support for the existing investee companies will position the Company to benefit from the continuing improvements in the current economic environment. Management is focused on building upon the progress made over the past six months to deliver growth.

1 The Company

Leaf Clean Energy Company ("Leaf" or the "Company") was incorporated and registered in the Cayman Islands on 14 May 2007. The Company was established to invest in clean energy projects, predominantly in North America. Clean energy includes activities such as the production of alternative fuels, renewable power generation and the use of technologies to reduce the environmental impact of traditional energy. The Company seeks to achieve long term capital appreciation primarily through making privately negotiated acquisitions of interest (principally equity but also equity-related and subordinated or mezzanine debt securities) in both projects and companies which own assets or which participate in the clean energy sector and through the generation and commercialisation of carbon credits derived from these projects.

The shares of the Company were admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") on 28 June 2007 when dealings also commenced.

The Company's agents and the inhouse management team perform all significant functions.

The financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2010 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at PO Box 309GT, Ugland House, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands or at www.leafcleanenergy.com.

Leaf is an investment company.

In order to present information that is comparable with other investment companies, Leaf also publishes financial statements of the Company, which include investments in subsidiaries regarded as part of the Company's investing business at fair value.

These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 March 2011.

(2) Voting rights 81.9%

(3) Voting rights 66.25%

12.2 Investments in subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss

12.3 Portfolio valuation methodology

Unquoted investments are valued by applying an appropriate valuation technique, which makes maximum use of market-based information, is consistent with models generally used by market participants and is applied consistently from period to period, except where a change would result in a better estimation of fair value. The Company primarily invests in unquoted direct investments. Unquoted direct investments have characteristics similar to private equity investments, in that the value is generally determined through the sale or flotation of the entire business, rather than the sale of an individual instrument. Valuations of such investments are based upon the "International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines."

The in house management conducted a valuation analysis of the Company's investment portfolio based upon standard valuation approaches compatible with the "International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines." Given the uncertainties inherent in estimating the fair value of unquoted direct investments, a degree of caution was applied by the inhouse management in exercising judgements and making the necessary estimate.

13 Share Capital

14 Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year:

There is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share for the year as there are no potential dilutive ordinary shares.

15 Related Party Transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or to exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions.

Investments are measured at the Directors' estimate of fair value at the reporting date, in accordance with IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement'.

13.1 Investments at fair value through profit or loss

Investments are stated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Loans are stated at fair value in conjunction with the related equity investment in the investee company. All investee companies are unquoted.

13.2 Portfolio valuation methodology

Unquoted investments are valued by applying an appropriate valuation technique, which makes maximum use of market-based information, is consistent with models generally used by market participants and is applied consistently from period to period, except where a change would result in a better estimation of fair value. The Company primarily invests in unquoted direct investments. Unquoted direct investments have characteristics similar to private equity investments, in that the value is generally determined through the sale or flotation of the entire business, rather than the sale of an individual instrument. Valuations of such investments are based upon the "International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines."

The in-house management team conducted a valuation analysis of the Company's investment portfolio based upon standard valuation approaches compatible with the "International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines." Given the uncertainties inherent in estimating the fair value of unquoted direct investments, a degree of caution was applied by the Asset Advisor in exercising judgements and making the necessary estimates.
