Jeremy Ben-David, Waterlogic Group CEO, commented:
"Waterlogic Commercial continued to improve its earnings quality
and the significant growth in recurring and repeating revenue is a
result of the successful integration of the acquisition of CCWG in
Australia, and organic growth, most notably in Germany and France.
Waterlogic Consumer also increased revenue to USD 1.3 million in H1
compared to USD 0.8 million in H1 2013 and a number of new consumer
product launches took place in the Middle East, Europe and Canada.
The pending consumer product launch in the United States is
expected to provide continued growth in H2.
The Directors remain confident that the solid foundations put in
place together with investment in the Group's Firewall(TM)
technology, potential acquisitions and the Group's organic business
will continue to deliver Shareholder value."
(1) The Directors use adjusted measures to judge the
profitability of the Group to provide them with a consistent basis
for comparison of the Group's results, on a year on year basis.
During the periods under review, "Adjusted" measures include
adjustments for the share based incentives expense, capital
reorganisation related costs, acquisition & integration related
costs, amortisation of acquired intangibles and corporate
reorganisation costs. Further details and reconciliations to
statutory measures are included in note 5 to the financial
information.
(2) Net debt represents total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
(3) Organic growth is measured as the change in revenue year on
year, at actual and constant currency excluding current year
revenues from acquisitions until after the first anniversary of the
acquisition.
(4) Repeating revenue is the sale of parts, filters and
consumables for POU units in field and the sale of POU units to
leasing companies.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
Waterlogic delivered a strong H1 performance and made progress
in delivering on its strategy. Waterlogic Commercial continued to
improve its earnings quality, and recurring and repeating revenue
now represents 69% of total Group revenue (H1 2013: 63% of total
Group revenue). This growth in recurring and repeating revenue is a
result of the successful integration of both the acquisition of
CCWG in Australia and organic growth, most notably in Germany and
France. Several new national accounts were acquired in Germany,
France, Scandinavia and the USA, and organic growth was achieved
even as the Group continues to focus more efforts in procuring
rental contracts and increasing its recurring revenue.
Waterlogic Consumer also increased revenue to USD 1.3 million
revenue in H1 (H1 2013: USD 0.8 million). A number of new consumer
product launches took place in the Middle East, Europe and Canada
and the pending launch in the United States are expected to provide
continued growth in H2.
Waterlogic Commercial
Machines in field at the end of H1 2014 are estimated to have
risen to 785,000 (H1 2013: 715,000).
New distributors were added in Hungary and Poland, and new
distributor territories were opened in Romania, Slovenia and
Colombia.
The worldwide roll out of the new WL3 product range
incorporating Firewall(TM)technology was completed at the end of
June 2014 and good progress is being made in the marketing of
products incorporating Firewall(TM)technology into the healthcare
and education sectors.
Procurement initiatives focused on partnering with world-class
suppliers to deliver best value for our operations are expected to
deliver cost savings commencing in H2 2014.
New tele-business platforms were established in a number of key
geographic markets, including Germany and the USA, and our
continued investment in IT systems has further improved our
productivity in service, administration and sales.
Waterlogic Consumer
Waterlogic Consumer achieved USD 1.3 million revenue in H1 (H1
2013: USD 0.8 million) and continued growth is expected in H2.
The joint venture with Eureka Forbes, in India, has commenced
with the manufacture and supply of the Eterniti product to Eureka
Forbes. The Board is encouraged by the prospects of this
partnership and by the long term potential within the Indian
market.
In Europe, the Group signed exclusive distribution agreements
with seven distributors in Portugal, Czech Republic, Greece,
Cyprus, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia, with initial orders shipped
and is expecting to sign more distribution agreements in other
markets by the end of 2014.
The first orders in the Middle East were delivered in H1 to
Electra Consumer Products, who launched in June 2014. Repeat orders
have been placed and are due to be supplied early in H2.
The launch in the United States via e-commerce and catalogue
companies occurred in H2 following a successful initial trial with
a major retailer in Canada. A new OEM client has placed orders for
launch in Taiwan and Thailand.
Opportunities are also being pursued in several other countries
and segments.
Results and Operations
Group revenue increased by 25.1% to USD 68.3 million (H1 2013:
USD 54.5 million), including revenue of USD 1.3 million from
Waterlogic Consumer (H1 2013: USD 0.8 million). Organic revenue
growth was 5.5% (4.5% at constant exchange rates). Waterlogic
Commercial direct sales revenue experienced organic growth of 9% at
constant currency. The strongest Waterlogic Commercial growth
territory was Germany, where ongoing investment in the sales team
has driven revenue growth. There was an increase of 6% in
Waterlogic Commercial indirect sales due to strong performances
from International Trading, Germany and France.
The Group's combined gross margin for the period has increased
to 64.8%, compared to 63.1% in H1 2013 and 63.6% for FY 2013. This
is a result of the increase in higher margin rental and service
revenues delivered by the FY 2013 acquisitions, which also improved
the mix between direct and indirect sales.
Adjusted EBITDA has increased to USD 10.9 million compared to
USD 7.0 million in H1 2013. Adjusted operating profit has increased
to USD 6.8 million compared to USD 4.1 million in H1 2013,
including an adjustment for the amortisation of acquired
intangibles of USD 2.0 million (2013: USD 1.3 million).
At the end of H1, the Group had net debt of USD 30.2 million
compared to USD 31.0 million at 31 December 2013. The Group has a
five year committed multicurrency loan comprising: NOK 45.4
million, which is fully drawn at 30 June 2014 and AUD 50.8 million
of which AUD 43.9 million is drawn at 30 June 2014. The Group also
has the ability to call upon further uncommitted facilities in
order to provide funding for future acquisitions.
Net cash from operating activities was USD 4.8 million for the
period, compared to USD (1.0) million in H1 2013. The net effect of
working capital movements reported in the cash flow reflected an
inflow of USD 1.3 million (2013: outflow of USD 3.7 million). The
inflow mainly relates to lower inventory and lower trade and other
receivables, resulting from the introduction of working capital
reduction targets for the year.
During 2014 the Company discovered an accounting error at one
subsidiary. This error resulted in a restatement of the Balance
Sheet of the Group, including an adjustment to reserves at 30 June
2012 for prior periods of USD 1.1 million. The adjustment to
reserves is in respect of the over recognition of revenue and
related items that impacted the Group's reported profit and the
related Balance Sheet accounts. As a result of the findings by the
Company, amendments are being made to both control processes and
systems.
In accordance with IFRS, acquired intangibles, such as customer
relationships and brands, are recognised separately from goodwill
on acquisitions, with intangible assets subject to amortisation and
with no amortisation of goodwill. Impairment reviews of these
balances are performed at least annually, and any impairment is
recognised through the income statement. Whilst there is no current
impairment, there does remain sensitivity within our US
operations.
The Market
According to the latest Zenith West Europe Coolers Report 2013,
the number of plumbed-in mains water coolers (POU) units increased
by 6% in 2012, reaching the 1.2 million units in field mark and
taking POU's share of the cooler market to 43%. Zenith confirms the
growing POU trend by estimating that it is expected to reach 50% of
the market by 2017. The US market represents an opportunity for
continued growth where Zenith report that of the 5.5 million water
coolers in use, c.80% of these are accounted for by the traditional
bottled water cooler, whereas POU units are reported to be
continually taking share from the traditional bottled cooler,
growing consistently by 11% over the last three years. The
opportunity to convert customers away from bottled water to the
more convenient, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective
solution of POU represents a continuing opportunity for the Group
for several years to come.
Outlook
Direct sales and rental income continue to experience healthy
organic growth in several geographies. The Directors remain
confident that the solid foundations put in place together with
investment in the Group's Firewall(TM) technology, potential
acquisitions and the Group's organic business will continue to
deliver shareholder value.
Further to the announcement on 30 June 2014, the Company is
continuing to conduct its strategic review which includes a Formal
Sale Process in accordance with the Takeover Code. The review is
proceeding and a further announcement will be made in due
course.

WATERLOGIC PLC
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. General information
Waterlogic Plc (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together
the "Group") operate as a vertically integrated business engaged in
the design, assembly, distribution, servicing and sale of point of
use water machines in worldwide markets.
The Company is a Public Limited company which is quoted on the
London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market ("AIM"). The
Company is incorporated in Jersey with registration number 108193.
The address of its registered office is 12 Castle Street, St
Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, JE2 3RT and the company's
operating activities are based in Ireland.
The financial information set out above for the year ended 31
December 2013 does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts,
but is derived from those accounts. The auditors reported on those
accounts on 4 April 2014 and their report was unqualified.
2. Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of Waterlogic Plc are prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with IFRSs have been condensed or omitted
from the half year condensed financial information. However, this
information includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim
period and the Group believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. The same accounting
policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in
the condensed financial information as applied in the Group's
latest annual audited financial statements.
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing this condensed financial
information.
The half year condensed financial information for the six months
ended 30 June 2014 have not been audited or reviewed by auditors
pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board guidance on Review of
Interim Financial Information, and was approved by the Board for
issue on 22 September 2014.
Restatement
The consolidated income statement and the consolidated balance
sheet comparative for the half year ended 30 June 2013 have been
restated to eliminate the effects of intra-group profits generated
upon the sale of POU dispensers between Group entities and held as
property, plant and equipment for rental by the Group under
operating leases at the respective period ends. The amounts
restated are an increase in the cost of sales for the half year
ended 30 June 2013 of $137,000. The impact of the restatement upon
the consolidated balance sheet comparative is a reduction in POU
dispensers cost as at 30 June 2013 of $550,000 and a reduction in
POU dispensers accumulated depreciation as at 30 June 2013 of
$413,000. There has been no impact upon the net movement in cash
and cash equivalents as a result of these restatements. During 2014
the Company discovered an accounting error at one subsidiary. This
error resulted in a restatement of the Balance Sheet of the Group,
including an adjustment to reserves at 30 June 2012 for prior
periods of $1,108,000. The adjustment to reserves is in respect of
the over recognition of revenue and related items that impacted the
Group's reported profit and the related Balance Sheet accounts. As
a result of the findings by the Company, amendments are being made
to both control processes and systems.

Inter-segment revenue is charged at prevailing market rates.
Segment operating profit represents the profit earned by each
segment without allocation of the share of central administration
costs including Directors' salaries, investment revenue and finance
costs and income tax expenses. This is the measure reported to the
Group's Chief Executive for the purpose of resource allocation and
assessment of segment performance.
Central administration costs comprise principally the employment
related costs and other overheads incurred by the Company and its
subsidiaries, WIL and WLI (UK) Ltd, net of management charges to
and from other subsidiaries and inter-company commission income.
Also included within central administration costs is the charge
relating to the share based payment plans of $1,282,000 for the
period ended 30 June 2014 (30 June 2013: $1,202,000).
Other segment information
The Group is managed on the basis of segment performance,
focused on the geographical location of markets. Following the
establishment of the new Consumer Division, operations are also
reviewed on the basis of performance of the Consumer and Commercial
Divisions. Accordingly, the following additional disclosure has
been made with respect to the Consumer and Commercial
Divisions.
