Chairman's Statement
During the first six months of 2014 work has continued to progress the Welsh project through the planning process and to attract a buyer for the Polish project. Expenditure is focussed on these activities with minimal overheads.
Financial Performance
The Group made a loss for the half year of £711k. This includes finance costs of £409k associated with the Utilico Loans. General overhead costs of £224k include Welsh project development work, while the costs of maintaining the Polish Assets for the six months were £78k.
Wales
As reported in the Annual Report the 'Application for an Order granting Development Consent' was initially submitted on 24 April but withdrawn to make changes 28 days later. I am happy to report the revised application was resubmitted on 30 July and accepted into the examination process by the Planning Inspectorate on 20 August. The project is now in the pre-examination phase, with the deadline for parties to register their interest set as 17 October. Following this the Examiner holds a Preliminary Meeting to decide the issues and timetable for examination. The examination phase can take up to six months, followed by three months for the Examiner to make a recommendation to the Secretary of State and a further three months for the Secretary of State to issue a decision. For more information and to see the latest status of the Project see the Mynydd y Gwynt Project Page on the Planning Inspectorate's website http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/Wales/Mynydd-y-Gwynt-Wind-Farm/
Poland
The resurgence of interest in the Polish market and renewed efforts to find a buyer has continued.
We are engaged in early discussions with a number of potential acquirers, further updates will be issued in due course.
Carnegie Wave Energy Limited (Carnegie)
There has been no change with regard to REH holding of Carnegie Shares since the Annual Report statement. Winter in Australia has allowed for greater onshore testing of components before the deployment of CETO 5. Completion of the onshore facilities, with continued deployment preparation, has been reported by Carnegie.
Funding
Following the acceptance by the Planning Inspectorate of our Mynydd y Gwynt Application into the examination process, your Board has reviewed the likely cash flow requirements to take the application through to approval. The Board has determined that funding over and above that previously agreed with Utilico will be required in 2015 and hence discussions are ongoing with Utilico. A further announcement on funding will be made in due course.

1. Basis of preparation
This unaudited consolidated interim financial information has been prepared using the recognition and measurement principles of International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations adopted for use in the European Union (collectively IFRSs).
The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim results are those the Company expects to apply in its Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 and are unchanged from those disclosed in the Company's audited Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 which are available at www.reh-plc.com.
In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the financial information for the period ended 30 June 2014, the Directors have taken into account the status of current negotiations on the sale of assets, projections through to June 2015 and likely support of the Company's largest shareholder. The Directors consider that the Group will have sufficient facilities for its ongoing operations and therefore have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the June 2014 financial results.
While the financial information included in this consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and with IFRSs, this interim consolidated financial information does not itself contain sufficient information to comply fully with IFRSs. As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 'Interim Financial Statements' in preparing these interim financial statements.
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 is unaudited and does not constitute the Company's statutory financial statements for those periods. The comparative financial information for the full year ended 31 December 2013 has, however, been derived from the statutory financial statements for that period. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include references to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain a statement under section 15.4 of the Isle of Man Companies Act 1982.
2. Discontinued operations
Plan to dispose of wind farm project
On 30 April 2012 the Group announced the orderly sale of its assets and the return of cash to shareholders. The Group is actively seeking a buyer for its Polish wind farm project. It is the Director's judgement that the Polish wind farm project meets the criteria under IFRS 5 "Non Current Assets and Discontinued Operations" to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly the Group's Polish operations have been presented as discontinued operations.
Analysis of loss for the year from discontinued operations
The results of the discontinued operations (i.e. the Polish wind farm project) included in the consolidated income statements are set out below. The comparative loss and cash flows from discontinued operations have been re-presented to include those operations classified as discontinued in the current year.
