Norman Crighton, Chair of Harmony Energy Income Trust plc, said:

"The Company is working through a critical phase of its development cycle as an Investment Trust.  Over the coming months, our final three assets will become fully operational, which will lead to a substantial increase in income, other things being equal. This factor, together with the encouraging market signals described in this Interim Report, encourages the Board that the worst is behind us and better, more profitable times lie ahead."
