Ensor Holdings PLC ("Ensor", the "Group" or the "Company") Interim results for the six months to 30 September 2014 Chairman's Statement * Sales up 11% * Operating profit up 98% * Dividend up 20% This time last year I anticipated that a great deal of hard work would begin to generate rewards this year. I am delighted that our results for this half year reflect the confidence shown twelve months ago. All companies in the Ensor group have performed very well and, with growing order books, I am optimistic for the immediate future. The only shadows on the horizon could be interest rate rises affecting market confidence, weakening foreign exchange rates and, with an election approaching, political uncertainty next year. Despite these concerns, I believe the Ensor group is well placed to maintain steady progress. I have mentioned that all our subsidiaries have had a strong first six months. Technocover, our manufacturer of high security products, as predicted, has commenced the programmes of work for the UK water utilities. They are also seeing increased enquiry levels which we feel will carry the company into the next five year Asset Management Programme period of the water industry. Progress into new markets, particularly Rail, is being made as investment in equipment, product development and LPCB testing programmes are completed. Ellard designs and provides specialist electric motors and controls for industrial doors and gates, supplying these products to manufacturers in the UK and Europe. Since moving into new purpose built premises twelve months ago, the company has increased market share and has recently finalised an exclusive agreement with one of its European suppliers which we believe will secure Ellard's position in the market. Working in the same markets as Ellard, OSA Door Parts manufactures insulated industrial doors and garage doors. Providing close technical support to their door industry customers allows OSA to introduce new and researched products which can be brought to market quickly. This year OSA is expected to expand into larger premises as these new product developments come on line. Both companies are benefiting from an increasingly active construction market. Ensor Building Products distributes roofing materials, including natural slates and flat roof membranes, drainage systems and other specialist building materials. Recent work to replace low margin, high volume products with higher margin, lower volume alternatives has had a positive impact on the company result. This trend is forecast to continue. Wood's Packaging has made significant progress this year following an excellent trend of results in recent years. Supplying general packaging materials, specialist protection for furniture transportation and removal, the company has benefitted from a buoyant retail market. Close co-operation with sup

In 2014, Dalradian raised GBP 22 million through fundraising on the Toronto Stock Exchange to carry out an underground exploration programme, a pre-feasibility study and an environmental impact assessment at the Curraghinalt gold deposit. Since commencing work on the project in 2010, Dalradian has raised more than GBP 60 million; has completed 50,000 metres of drilling, three resource updates, two scoping studies; and has grown the size of the deposit six-fold. As a result of this work, in 2012, Curraghinalt was ranked 7th highest by grade of more than 500 undeveloped deposits globally. The deposit remains open and can grow in size, as the vein system continues beyond the scope of completed drilling. The most recent Curraghinalt scoping study (or Preliminary Economic Assessment), completed in October 2014 by the independent mining engineering firm Micon International Limited of Toronto, shows an Internal Rate of Return on the proposed mine, after tax and royalties, of 36.2% based on a gold price of US$1,200 per ounce and an average mined grade of 9.3 g/t gold. In this study, Curraghinalt will produce an average of 194,000 ounces of gold per year for the first five years of operations and an average of 162,000 ounces of gold per year over the 18 year mine life. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Dalradian's NI 43-101 report is dated October 30, 2014, entitled "An Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Curraghinalt Gold Deposit, Tyrone Project, Northern Ireland", was prepared by Messrs.

02 December 2014 UniVision Engineering Limited ("UniVision", the "Company" or the "Group")) Proposed demerger of Leader Smart Engineering Limited UniVision, the AIM quoted, Hong Kong based designer and installer of digital surveillance and integrated security systems announces that the Company proposes to demerge its Electrical and Mechanical ("E&M") and property division (the "Proposed Demerger") through an 'in-specie' distribution of shares to Univision's shareholders. The Group's E&M and property business is performed by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Leader Smart Engineering Limited ("Leader Smart"), a company incorporated in Hong Kong and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited ("Leader Smart Shanghai"), a WFOE (Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise) incorporated in PRC (together the "Leader Smart Group"). Leader Smart Shanghai currently owns a 51% interest in the Zhongshan shopping mall ("The Mall"). The Board believes that the Proposed Demerger is deemed to be in the best interests of the Company and Univision's shareholders because: · The Proposed Demerger will allow Univision to focus on its core Security and Surveillance business in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which provides stable income and cashflow to the Group. · The Proposed Demerger will enable Leader Smart Group to pursue a more active property / asset management strategy in the PRC. · The Board believes that the Proposed Demerger will delineate the CCTV business of Univision and the E&M/Property business of Leader Smart Group, thereby facilitating new investment in both or either company as the investor base of a security systems provider and a property company are quite different. · The Leader Smart Group mainly focuses on properties in the People's Republic of China which are not being, or intended to be, used in the operations of or related to Univision's core security and surveillance systems business in Hong Kong and Taiwan. These divisions operate independently of each other and have different growth rates, business strategies and risk profiles. · The board of Univision do not feel that the asset value of the Leader Smart Group is reflected in the Company's share price and so the Proposed Demerger is intended to deliver value to shareholders which is currently not reflected in the Company's market capitalisation. The Proposed Demerger will allow the respective management of Univision and Leader Smart to have a more defined business focus on their core business segments and enhance their responsiveness to market changes. To facilitate the Proposed Demerger, a new holding company will be formed into which the Company will transfer all its shares in Leader Smart. A demerger proposal is going to be submitted by

("EUL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Imaging Limited and Burlington Loan Management Limited ("BLML"), an affiliate of Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, have made an aggregate capital injection of EUR 20 million into the Company by the deposit of funds into a third party account for the account of the Company, of which EUR 12.5 million have been deposited by EUL and EUR 7.5 million by BLML. EUL has taken up the required number of shares immediately following the opening of the Rights Offering and, as part of the capital injection, has, together with BLML, deposited EUR 20 million up front in order to ensure that the capital injection required under the Restructuring Plan takes place before 30 November 2014.
