Financial Performance

Quarterly Financial performance

Total revenue in the quarter ended 30 June 2014 of £4.16 million was 22% lower than the comparable quarter in 2013 (Q2 2013: £5.31 million).

Production revenue remained stable at £3.92 million (Q2 2013: £3.97 million), whilst development income fell by 82% to £0.24 million (Q2 2013: £1.34 million). Revenue recognisable from development contracts has reduced as they move into their testing phases, before follow on production orders are raised.  We continue to actively seek to improve our pipeline of development projects.

Gross profit decreased by 56% to £0.82 million (Q2 2013: £1.87 million), with gross margin decreasing to 20% (Q2 2013: 35%) due to the mix of production lines sold and the lower development revenue which typically attracts a higher gross margin %.

Research and product development costs in the quarter decreased 64% to £0.38 million (Q2 2013: £1.07 million), in line with the Board's plans for the Company to become more focused.

General and administrative costs, which consist mainly of staff costs, facilities costs and the costs associated with the Company's public listings, were up by 30% compared to 2013 to £0.97 million (Q2 2013: £0.75 million). However, June 2013 included a one-time release of the asset retirement provision of £0.50 million. Accordingly there is an underlying reduction of 22% (£0.28 million) in general and administration costs for the second quarter of 2014.

The Company has continued to control its costs without prejudicing the business' operational strengths, with a reduction in headcount of 23% compared with 30 June 2013 (30 June 2014: 126, 30 June 2013: 163) and the consolidation during the second half of 2013 of its operations to the Gateshead site.

Operating loss before other operating income was £0.71 million (Q2 2013: £0.12 million).

Other operating income of £0.05 million was due to the release of the Regional Growth Fund grant (Q2 2013: £0.03 million).

Finance expense was £0.24 million (Q2 2013: £0.06 million). The increase of £0.18 million was due to the increased loans from TAO UK and the effects of changes in the £/US Dollar exchange rate.

The Company recorded a net loss of £0.90 million (Q2 2013: £0.14 million), an increase of £0.76 million; increase £ 0.26 million excluding the one-time release of the asset retirement provision of £0.50 million in 2013. .

The Company recorded an operating cash outflow before working capital movements of £0.67 million for the quarter (Q2 2013: £0.49 million). After adjusting for changes in working capital items and purchases of property, plant and equipment the Company recorded an overall cash outflow of £0.46 million (Q2 2013: £1.88 million). There was an overall net cash outflow for the quarter of £0.06 million (Q2 2013: inflow £0.22 million).

The Company finished the quarter with unrestricted cash balances of £0.23 million (2013: £0.34 million) and held further cash of £0.10 million (2013: £0.13 million) associated with utility bonds.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Business of the Company

Turbo Power Systems is a technology-led Company that designs and manufactures high-speed 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 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, but especially in rail and industrial. Long term relationships with customers in these markets have been built based on delivering competitive products with proven reliability.

The expertise developed over the last 30 years, on high-speed electrical machines and power electronics, allows the Company to explore 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. As noted in the 2013 Annual Report, TPS concentrates on three important pillars that will continue to be key to the successful implementation of its strategy:

· Improve the quality of the portfolio;

· Superior execution within design development, manufacturing operations and support activities; and

· Consistent delivery of internal improvements.

Improve the quality of the portfolio

The Company aims to optimise, simplify, standardise and automate wherever possible the following portfolio categories: products offered, operational sites, inventory, receivables and staffing.

During the quarter the Company continued with the plan to develop its capabilities, products and bespoke solutions. The Research and Development budget has been focused on specific areas that can be used to assist in the contracts that the Company is currently bidding for. These contracts are of a long term nature and the Company is working closely with customers to ensure acceptable margins. This has led to longer negotiations with the customers but should result in better contracts for both parties.

Superior execution within design development, manufacturing operations and support activities

The Company recognises that its 30 years of experience together with the talented and highly skilled workforce are the most important assets it has. The Board firmly believes that these assets, and our continuous pursuit of efficiencies, will allow TPS to react faster and be even more integrated to fulfil the market's needs.

The Company is increasing its value proposition by bringing more integrated products to its customers. This change in the way that the customers contract with the Company, as noted last quarter, is elongating the contract approval process in the short term.

Consistent delivery of internal improvements

The Company seeks to further develop a culture of cost consciousness and to eliminate excess costs. Continuous improvements, which commenced in 2013, continued, including working with customers to review the quality and quantities of the products required. The Company has been working to increase the average selling price of the products in line with the value proposition.

Current Operations

During the quarter the Company announced a major new contract with UK Power Networks (UKPN) to supply a ground-breaking new design of electrical energy controller for trials on the electricity distribution networks in the London and Brighton areas. This contract is the Company's first in the exciting low carbon initiatives market.

The increasing occurrence of low carbon technologies connecting to the electricity network, as a consequence of the planned transition to a low carbon economy, is increasing the load on low voltage (LV) distribution networks. The Company's electrical energy controller achieves a controllable coupling for the LV feeders of multiple substations, through which the load on each sub-station can be balanced to reduce the likelihood of over-loading of transmission equipment. Based on loading profiles, capacity sharing at peak load times is achieved by allowing the transfer of power between substations as well as from one electrical phase to another within the same substation. This is expected to enable low carbon technologies to be accommodated through existing substations, reducing the requirement for additional infrastructure.

The Company today announced a further order from UKPN for the prototype units to be used in the trails. UKPN has recognised the Company's ability to produce these specialised units as well as the design work. The Company will, therefore, be building its expertise in the grid linked market as well as the stand alone rail power market.

This first contract has opened the low carbon renewable energy market with other opportunities being offered to the Company. Opportunities exist in the small and medium scale renewables market, such as wind turbines, which the Company is looking to exploit as the technology moves towards more mainstream acceptance and the industry matures.

The Company announced a further $3.4 million order from Bombardier for auxiliary power units for the Toronto Transit Commission. Production of these units will commence in the second half of 2014 and continue into 2015.

The Company continues to pursue the energy efficiency market for its electric motors and generators. Market studies have been conducted into energy recovery systems, and the Board believes that TPS's technology would work very well with the push into the energy space. The Company is currently exploring opportunities with partners to provide systems that can be self-sufficient for energy recovery and subsequent energy generation at on site locations.

The headcount has been reducing since its peak level of 223 in June 2012, with overall headcount at 30 June 2014 of 126 compared to 163 at 30 June 2013.

Support from TAO UK

The Company extended its loan from its parent company, TAO UK on 13 May 2014, by £0.40 million. This takes the current loan position to £9.89 million. In addition, the Company has accrued unpaid interest of £0.95 million as at 30 June 2014. The loan is repayable on 1 April 2016.

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 remain confident in our prospects for the rest of the financial year, with opportunities available where TPS's excellence in manufacture of innovative designs and ability to implement new ideas are valued. 

The Company remains critically dependent on loan funding to continue funding the planned growth in 2014 and beyond.

Going Concern

These consolidated interim 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 realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

The Company is critically dependent upon i) customers paying to contractual terms and ii) the continued financial support of its intermediate parent undertaking TAO UK, who in turn is dependent on their parent undertaking Vale Soluções em Energia S.A (VSE), for such continued financial support in order to meet budgeted and 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.

As at 30 June 2014 the Company had net operating outflows, with a net debt of £14.30 million, being £14.53 million of debt less £0.23 million of cash. The Company has a cumulative deficit of £98.61 million as at 30 June 2014 and continued to be loss making for the period then ended.

If the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, ensure the continued financial support from TAO UK and ultimately VSE, or secure additional debt or equity financing these conditions and events would 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. This could be material, which would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.

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 will remain in place to enable the Company to meet budgeted and forecasted working capital requirements and support the Company's growth plans. Accordingly they have continued to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.

Summary of Quarterly Results

The following table shows selected quarterly consolidated financial information of the Company for the last eight quarters:

Revenue increased in June 2014 by 26% to £4.16 million over £3.33 million in the March quarter, mainly due to increased production revenues through MRO sales orders and development revenues from the UKP Power Networks contract announced in April 2014.

Research and development expenditure is decreasing compared with previous years, reflecting the continuing trend of focused activity and timing of external spend.

General and Administration expenses have decreased in the June 2014 quarter over 2013 (excluding the one-time release of the asset retirement provision of £0.50 million) due to the Company's drive to control its overhead costs and deliver a quarter on quarter trend of reduced costs.

Review of the quarter ended 30 June 2014

Revenue

Revenue in the quarter ended 30 June 2014 was £4.16 million (2013: £5.31 million.)

Production revenue remained in line with 2013 but increased 24% over the previous quarter (Q1 2014: £3,159).

Development income, which is recognised on a percentage complete basis, decreased by 82% as development contracts reduce as they move into their testing phases, before follow on production orders are raised. We continue to actively seek to improve our pipeline of development projects.

Cost of Sales

The cost of sales was £3.34 million (2013: £3.44 million). The revenue in the quarter has resulted in a change of the mix of products that have been delivered. The lower development revenue has impacted gross margins as this has attracted higher gross margin.

During the period the Company has continued to work with customers to increase certain unit production selling prices and/or effect design changes to allow material and cost decreases to be implemented. Negotiations are continuing.

Research and product development

Research and product development expenditure in the quarter was £0.38 million (2013: £1.07 million). The level of expenditure has reduced as the projects move between phases. Expenditure tends to be higher at the middle of projects as prototypes are made, incurring external and material costs. At the start and end of projects expenditure tends to be lower for either design reviews or test reviews. The Company continues to focus on targeted research and development expenditure.

General and administrative costs

General and administrative costs, which consist mainly of staff costs, facilities costs and the costs associated with the Company's public listings, were up by 29% compared to 2013 to £0.97 million (2013: £0.75 million). However, June 2013 included a one-time release of the asset retirement provision of £0.50 million. Accordingly, there is an underlying reduction of 22% (£0.28 million) in general and administration costs for the second quarter of 2014.

The Company has continued to control its costs without prejudicing the business operational strengths, with a reduction in headcount and the consolidation of its operations in the second half of 2013 to the Gateshead site.

Other operating income

Other operating income of £0.05 million was due to the release of the government grant (2013: £0.03 million).

Finance income/expense

Finance expense of £0.24 million (2013: £0.06 million) arose from the interest on the loans from TAO UK (2014: £0.17 million, 2013: £ 0.12 million) and the effects of foreign exchange movements (2014 Loss £0.07 million, 2013:Gain £ 0.11 million).

Cash flows for the quarter ended 30 June 2014

Cash outflow from operating activities

The Company recorded an operating cash outflow before working capital movements of £0.67 million for the quarter (2013: £0.49 million).

Review of the six months ended 30 June 2014

Revenue

Revenue in the six months ended 30 June 2014 was £7.46 million (2013: £9.07 million.)

Production revenue decreased 4%, due to the completion of a current contract and the delay in receiving the follow on order which has now been received. There was also an increase in MRO sales in the period.

Development income, which is recognised on a percentage complete basis, has decreased by 77% due to project timings as we continue to actively seek to improve our pipeline of development projects.

Cost of Sales

The cost of sales was £6.16 million (2013: £6.24 million). The revenue in the period has resulted in a change of the mix of products that have been delivered. The lower development revenue has impacted gross margins as this has attracted higher gross margin.

During the period the Company has continued to work with customers to increase certain unit production selling prices and/or effect design changes to allow material and cost decreases to be implemented. Negotiations are continuing.

Research and product development

Research and product development expenditure in the six months was £0.88 million (2013: £1.71 million), down 49%.

General and administrative costs

General and administrative costs, which consist mainly of staff costs, facilities costs and the costs associated with the Company's public listings, were down by 6% compared to 2013 to £2.04 million (2013: £2.18 million).

Balance sheet as at 30 June 2014

The Company ended the period with an unrestricted cash balance of £0.23 million compared with £1.85 million at 31 December 2013. Substantially all of the Company's cash balances are denominated in Sterling.

In addition, the Company had restricted cash amounts of £0.10 million (31 December 2013: £0.13 million), principally relating to utilities deposits.

Non-current assets have decreased from £0.77 million at 31 December 2013 to £0.70 million at 30 June 2014, after depreciation and amortisation charges of £0.14 million.

Loans and borrowings have increased by £0.71 million to £10.84 million. The loan and interest are shown as a non-current liability repayable on 1 April 2016. The Company is continuing its discussions with TAO UK about the alternatives available to the Company when the loans of £10.84 million become repayable on 1 April 2016.

Contractual Obligations

Shareholders' equity

The movement in shareholders' deficit comprised:

As at 5 August 2014, the Company had 3,336,865,922 common shares issued and outstanding and 892,777,778 A ordinary shares issued and outstanding. As at that date there were 30,707,273 outstanding share options.

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2014 were £0.23 million (31 December 2013: £1.85 million).

Restricted cash at 30 June 2014 was £0.10 million (31 December 2013: £0.13 million).

The Company reported a loss in the six months of £2.34 million and has a cumulative deficit of £98.61 million. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate positive cash flows from operations or secure additional debt or equity financing.

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 2013.

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 2014 the Sterling equivalent of Canadian Dollar denominated net liabilities amounted to £2,500 (31 December 2013: net liabilities £12,000).

The Company receives a significant proportion of its revenue in US Dollars. As such the Company routinely maintains a significant receivables balance in US Dollars, which are revalued at each period end. At 30 June 2014 the Sterling equivalent of the US Dollar denominated assets amounted to £2.41 million (31 December 2013: £2.89 million).

To manage its foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, the Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts.

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.

The Company invests surplus cash funds in short term money market deposits with financial institutions and cash funds which have at least a short term credit rating of F1.

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 2013. There have been no significant changes since 31 December 2013.

Further information is provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis and the notes to these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Related Party Transactions

On 13 May 2014, the Company announced that it had extended the loan financing agreement with TAO UK, its parent undertaking, to provide the Company with access to a further £0.40 million of debt financing to support working capital requirements, under the same terms and conditions as the previous loans. These loans are repayable on 1 April 2016.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

These interim condensed consolidated 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 2014 the Company had net operating cash outflows. The Board believes the Company will require additional funding which, if not raised, may result in the curtailment of activities. The Company has a cumulative deficit of £98.61 million as at 30 June 2014.

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 2013.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Internal Control

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the accounting policies and ensuring that the Company maintains an adequate system of internal financial control to provide them with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and of the reliability of financial information used for the business and for publication. More detail on the Company's internal control can be found on page 27 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

2 Goingconcern

These consolidated interim 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 realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

The Company is critically dependent upon i) customers paying to contractual terms and ii) the continued financial support of its intermediate parent undertaking TAO UK, who in turn is dependent on their parent undertaking Vale Soluções em Energia S.A (VSE), for such continued financial support in order to meet budgeted and 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.

As at 30 June 2014 the Company had net operating outflows, with a net debt of £14.30 million, being £14.53 million of debt less £0.23 million of cash. The Company has a cumulative deficit of £98.61 million as at 30 June 2014 and continued to be loss making for the period then ended.

If the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, ensure the continued financial support from TAO UK and ultimately VSE, or secure additional debt or equity financing these conditions and events would 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.

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 will remain in place to enable the Company to meet budgeted and forecasted working capital requirements and support the Company's growth plans. Accordingly they have continued to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.

4 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

These interim condensed consolidated 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 2014 the Company had net operating cash outflows. The Board believes the Company will require additional funding which, if not raised, may result in the curtailment of activities. The Company has a cumulative deficit of £98.61 million as at 30 June 2014. The Company has received additional funding of £0.40 million from TAO UK during the second quarter of 2014. The Company is discussing with TAO UK about the alternatives available to the Company when the loans of £10.84 million become repayable on 1 April 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.
