Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited Reports Interim Results For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Hong Kong — December 13, 2010 — Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (Nasdaq: CLWT) today reported its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $10,363,000, a 26% decrease as compared to approximately $14,122,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The net loss for six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $451,000, as compared to net income of $11,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

This is due to some wastewater treatment contracts were not completed in the first two quarters to make enough contributions to offset the further drop of trading business of third party products from foreign suppliers. Most foreign suppliers nowadays want to market and sell their products directly or through many distributors in China instead of using the company as their sole distributor as in the past.

A couple of wastewater treatment contracts awarded in early 2010 were delayed due to the sites were not ready, Guangxi contract worth $3.2 Million, was not only delayed in the first 2 quarters but also suffered from a serious fatal traffic accident in September. This contract has just been resumed in December only after the replacement of a new project management team and a new sub contractor.

To defy the drop of trading business of third party products, the company is going to focus on selling the third party products in Pearl River Delta, (Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong province ) because of easy and economical support from Hong Kong, takes more steps to expand its environmental engineering activities, and streamlines its operations continuously.

As the legislation of reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx), a pollutant gas, has become effective and official now in China, seeing this big opportunity, the company closely works with an American engineering company to pursue this new environmental control business for the optimization of combustion systems and emissions control in utility and industrial applications. On the other hand, non-profitable or non-strategic shops and offices have been closed, and personnel have been trimmed or made redundant. A new instrument sourcing platform (www.yibaynet.com) is now in operation to replace some functions of the retailing shops that have been closed, and all the remaining offices maintain lean operation to run.

Amid a big drop of trading business of third party products, the management regards 2010 as a tough and challenging year. While the company is streamlining its operations and further restructuring the company from a trading orientated company to become a manufacturing and engineering orientated company, it faced a mini crisis from a fatal traffic accident disturbing and affecting not only the progress of a major contract but also other engineering activities and business opportunities. As a result, the management believes that the dwindling of the trading business, the restructure and redundancy cost, and the fatal accident compensation cost will have a big negative impact on the year end results.

Despite the difficult situation, the management firmly believes that the company’s directions to focus on selling its own made products and expanding environmental engineering activities are very fruitful and rewarding in the long run. The current setback, however, does not dampen the management’s enthusiasm to achieve its goals eventually.
