Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

CHAIRMAN’S	STATEMENT	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017	

INTRODUCTION 

This financial year, Inspirit Energy Holdings plc has maintained its focus in the commercialisation of the Group’s micro 
combined heat and power (“mCHP”) boilers.  

COMMERCIALISATION AND PROGRESS 

During the year, the Group has been working to advance its microCHP boiler towards commercialisation. To this end, 
improvements to the design of the Group's Stirling engine technology, including simplification as part of the 'design for 
manufacture'  ("DFM")  process,  have  resulted  in  a  peak  electrical  output  up  to  3.2kW  of  electricity  against  the  unit's 
benchmark output of 3.0kW, whilst maintaining the same fuel input and heat output.  

In  addition,  the  Inspirit  Charger  has  a  similar  footprint  to  many  existing  microCHP  products  but  more  than  double  the 
electrical output, making it a more attractive proposition in its key launch market of commercial plant rooms. 

Importantly, this has been achieved without compromising the Group's "Sealed for Life" philosophy which aims to give 
customers  peace  of  mind  and  aligns  maintenance  requirements  and  skillsets  with  those  of  a  standard  natural  gas 
condensing boiler. 

The  DFM  process  is  the  means  by  which  the  manufacturing  cost  of  the  technology  is  reduced  through  engineering 
improvements  and  through  improved  manufacturability.  The  DFM  process  has  already  yielded  several  engineering 
improvements  and  manufacturing  cost  reductions  and  more  are  expected.  Improved  manufacturability  leverages 
volume  based  cost  reductions  which  will  be  available  once  commercial  production  starts.  This  DFM  process  remains 
ongoing and the Group will update investors once complete. 

The  ongoing  collaboration  with  CIBSE,  the  Chartered  Institute  of  Building  Services  Engineers,  a  key  influencer  in  our 
initial target market of commercial plant rooms, is another example of our preparation for commercial launch. Customer 
confidence in our technology and its performance is a key success factor.  

The applicable market for our technology is global, either as a boiler replacement product or as an add-on to an existing 
commercial plant room. In the UK there are in excess of 20 million gas boilers installed and more than 1.6 million new 
and replacement domestic gas boilers are installed each year. This is in addition to almost 300,000 commercial boiler 
installations each year. Europe as a whole has approximately 70 million boilers installed. These are the first markets to 
which our technology is applicable. 

OUTLOOK 

The  operating  board  and  I  believe  that  the  progress  over  the  last  year  has  been  positive.  Whilst  we  remain  well 
positioned  in  the  microCHP  boiler  technology  market,  ongoing  funding  for  the  development  and  commercialisation  of 
our  product  remains  a  challenge.  Accordingly,  we  continue  to  manage  our  resources  whilst  pushing  forward  with  the 
product and expect this to continue in 2018.  

At  the  same  time,  the  Board  continues  to  consider  its  options  for  the  future  strategy  and  funding  of  its  operating 
subsidiary and will provide investors with an update when this review is complete.

STRATEGIC	REPORT	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017	

The  Directors  present  their  Strategic  Report  on  Inspirit  Energy  Holdings  plc  (the  “Company”)  and  its  subsidiary 
undertakings (together the “Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2017. 

REVIEW	OF	THE	BUSINESS		
Inspirit  Energy  Limited  (IEL)    is  currently  pursuing  the  development  and  commercialisation  of  a  world-leading  micro 
Combined Heat and Power (“mCHP”) boiler for use in commercial and residential markets. The mCHP boiler is powered 
by  natural  gas  and  designed  to  produce  hot  water  (for  domestic  hot  water  or  central  heating)  and  a  simultaneous 
electrical output that can be used locally or fed back into the National Grid. 

Inspirit  Energy’s  new  “British  Engineered”  mCHP  boiler  is  one  of  the  industry’s  most  powerful  and  energy  efficient 
mCHP appliances for its size with simultaneous generation of up to 15 kilowatts of thermal output and up to 3 kilowatts 
of electrical output. The mCHP boiler has been designed to be low maintenance and can be installed by a certified gas-
safe  tradesman.  The  appliance’s  patented  engine  takes  the  waste  heat  from  the  boiler  and  converts  it  efficiently  into 
electricity, first supplying the property where it is installed and then feeding surplus electricity into the National Grid. 

DEVELOPMENTS	DURING	THE	YEAR	
In May 2017 the Company raised £292,500 before expenses through the issue of 234,000,000 new ordinary shares at a 
price of 0.125 pence per share. 

BOARD	CHANGES	
On 2nd June 2017, the Company announced that Mr Neil Luke, the Company's Chief Operating Officer stepped down 
from the board due to his planned retirement.  

RESULTS	AND	DIVIDENDS	
The Group made a loss after taxation of £419,000 (2016: loss of £458,000). 

The Directors do not propose a dividend for the year to 30 June 2017 (2016: £nil).

KEY	RISKS	AND	UNCERTAINTIES	
Early stage product development carries a high level of risk and uncertainty, although the rewards can be outstanding.  
At  this  stage  there  is  a  common  risk  associated  with  all  pioneering  technologically  advanced  companies  in  their 
requirement to continually invest in research and development. The Group has already made significant investments in 
addressing opportunities in the renewable energy sector.  

The Group has raised funds during the period as discussed in the ‘Developments during the year’ above. The Directors 
feel  that  while  this  is  sufficient  for  operating  forecasts,  further  funding  requirements  are  necessary  to  expedite  the 
commercialisation of the micro co-generation boiler.  

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 

The  principal  financial  risk  faced  by  the Group  is  liquidity  risk.  The  Group’s  financial  instruments  included  borrowings 
and cash which it used to finance its operations. At the year end, borrowings did not include any borrowings supplied 
from the Group’s principal bank, Barclays. More information is given in Note 3 to the Financial Statements. The Group 
has no significant concentrations of credit risk. 

ASSESSMENT OF BUSINESS RISK 

The  Board  regularly  reviews  operating  and  strategic  risks.    The  Group’s  operating  procedures  include  a  system  for 
reporting financial and non-financial information to the Board including:  

• 

• 
• 
• 
• 

reports  from  management  with  a  review  of  the  business  at  each  Board  meeting,  focusing  on  any  new 
decisions/risks arising;  
reports on the performance of investments;  
reports on selection criteria of new investments;  
discussion with senior personnel; and  
consideration of reports prepared by third parties.  

Details of other financial risks and their management are given in Note 3 to the financial statements. 

POST	YEAR	END	EVENTS	
On 15th August 2017, the Company announced that it raised £300,000 by issuing 208,333,334 new Ordinary Shares of 
0.1p each at a price of 0.12p per Ordinary Share together with a proposed Director's subscription of 41,666,666.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

STRATEGIC	REPORT	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017	

GOING	CONCERN 
As at 30 June 2017 the Group had a cash balance of £30,000 (2016: £258,000), net current assets/ liabilities of  negative 
£361,000 (2016: positive £39,000) and net assets of £2,360,000 (2016: £2,597,000). The Group continues to incur costs 
in the development and modification of their products and is pre-revenue.  

Therefore the cash flow forecasts for the Group and Company show that further equity and/or borrowings will be required 
to complete the final development and external testing of the Group’s mCHP boilers and bring them into production to get 
to  a  cash  flow  positive  position.  Although  the  Directors  are  confident  that  further  debt  or  equity  can  be  raised  at  a 
valuation acceptable to the Group there is no guarantee this will be the case.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

REPORT	OF	THE	DIRECTORS	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017 

CORPORATE	GOVERNANCE	
The  Board  has  not  adopted  the  UK  Corporate  Governance  Code;  this  is  only  a  requirement  for  premium  listed 
companies and the Board does not consider it appropriate for a company of the size and nature of Inspirit Energy 
Holdings  plc.  The  Board  has,  however,  adopted  the  requirements  of  the  Corporate  Governance  Guidelines  for 
Smaller  Companies  published  by  the  Quoted  Companies  Alliance,  although,  until  an  independent  non-executive 
director is appointed, John Gunn will chair each of the committees. 

BOARD	OF	DIRECTORS	

The  Board  is  responsible  for  strategy  and  performance,  approval  of  major  capital  projects  and  the  framework  of 
internal  controls.  To  enable  the  Board  to  discharge  its  duties,  all  Directors  receive  appropriate  and  timely 
information. All Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary, who is responsible for 
ensuring the Board procedures, are followed and that applicable rules and regulations are complied with. 	

AUDIT	COMMITTEE		

The  Audit  Committee  is  currently  chaired  by  John  Gunn  and  includes  Nilesh  Jagatia.  The  committee  provides  a 
forum for reporting by the Group’s external auditors. The committee is also responsible for reviewing a wide range of 
matters, including half-year and annual results before their submission to the Board, and for monitoring the controls 
that are in force to ensure the integrity of information reported to shareholders. The Audit Committee will advise the 
Board on the appointment of external auditors and on their remuneration for both audit and non-audit work, and will 
discuss the nature, scope and results of the audit with the external auditors. The committee will keep under review 
the cost effectiveness and the independence and objectivity of the external auditors. 

The  Audit  Committee  is  responsible  for  ensuring  the  “right  tone  at  the  top”  and  that  the  ethical  and  compliance 
commitments of management and employees are understood throughout the Group. 

REMUNERATION	COMMITTEE	

The Remuneration Committee is chaired by John Gunn and includes Nilesh Jagatia. The committee is responsible 
for making recommendations to the Board, within agreed terms of reference, on the Group’s framework of executive 
remuneration  and  its  cost.  The  Remuneration  Committee  determines  the  contract  terms,  remuneration  and  other 
benefits  for  the  executive  directors,  including  performance  related  bonus  schemes  and  compensation  payments. 
The Board itself determines the remuneration of the non-executive directors. 

COMMUNICATIONS	WITH	SHAREHOLDERS	

Communications with shareholders are given a high priority. In addition to the publication of an annual report and an 
interim report, there is regular dialogue with shareholders and analysts.  The Annual General Meeting is viewed as a 
forum for communicating with shareholders, particularly private investors.  Shareholders may question the Executive 
Chairman and other members of the Board at the Annual General Meeting. 

INTERNAL	CONTROL	

The  Directors  acknowledge  they  are  responsible  for  the  Group's  system  of  internal  control  and  for  reviewing  the 
effectiveness  of  these  systems.  The  risk  management  process  and  systems  of  internal  control  are  designed  to 
manage rather than eliminate the risk of the Group failing to achieve its strategic objectives. It should be recognised 
that such systems can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. 
The Group has well established procedures which are considered adequate given the size of the business.

REPORT	OF	THE	DIRECTORS	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017 

STATEMENT	OF	DIRECTORS'	RESPONSIBILITIES 
The  Directors  are  responsible  for  preparing  the  Annual  Report  of  the  Directors  and  the  financial  statements  in 
accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company  law  requires  the  Directors  to  prepare  financial  statements  for  each  financial  year.    Under  that  law  the 
directors  have  prepared  the  group  and  parent  company  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  International 
Financial  Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”)  as  adopted  by  the  European  Union  (“EU”).    Under  company  law  the 
directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the 
state  of  affairs  of  the  Group  and  the  Company  and  of  the  profit  or  loss  of  the  Group  for  that  period.  In  preparing 
these financial statements, the directors are required to: 

• 

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

•  make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

• 

• 

state whether applicable IFRSs as adopted by the European Union have been followed, subject to any material 
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

prepare  the  financial  statements  on  the  going  concern  basis  unless  it  is  inappropriate  to  presume  that  the 
Company will continue in business. 

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the 
company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and 
Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are 
also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for 
the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included 
on  the  Company's  website.    Legislation  in  the  United  Kingdom  governing  the  preparation  and  dissemination  of 
financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.  The Company is compliant with AIM Rule 26 
regarding the Company’s website. See www.inspirit-energy.com. 

DISCLOSURE	OF	INFORMATION	TO	AUDITOR 

In the case of each person who was a Director at the time this report was approved: 

• 

• 

so  far  as  that  director  is  aware  there  is  no  relevant  audit  information  of  which  the  Company’s  auditor  is 
unaware: and  

that director has taken all steps that the director ought to have taken as a director to make himself aware of 
any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s auditor is aware of that information. 

INDEPENDENT	AUDITOR	

The  auditors,  Welbeck  Associates,  will  be  proposed  for  reappointment  in  accordance  with  section  485  of  the 
Companies Act 2006.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

INDEPENDENT	AUDITOR’S	REPORT	
TO	THE	MEMBERS	OF	INSPIRIT	ENERGY	HOLDINGS	PLC	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017 

OPINION	

We  have  audited  the  financial  statements  of  Inspirit  Energy  Holdings  Plc  (the  ‘Company’)  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 
“Group”)  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2017  which  comprise  the  Group  income  statement,  the  Group  statement  of 
comprehensive  income,  the  Group  and  Parent  Company  statements  of  changes  in  equity,  the  Group  and  Parent 
Company statements of financial position, the Group and Parent Company statements of cash flows, and notes to the 
financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies.  The  financial  reporting  framework  that 
has  been  applied  in  their  preparation  is  applicable  law  and  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  as 
adopted by the European Union. 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 
•  give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 30 June 2017 and    of 

the group’s loss for the year then ended; 

•  have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and 
•  have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

BASIS	FOR	OPINION	

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. 
Our  responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditor’s  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the 
financial  statements  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  company  in  accordance  with  the  ethical 
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard 
as  applied  to  listed  entities,  and  we  have  fulfilled  our  other  ethical  responsibilities  in  accordance  with  these 
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our opinion. 

MATERIAL	UNCERTAINTY	RELATED	TO	GOING	CONCERN	

We draw attention to note 4 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of £419k 
during the year ended 30 June 2017 and, of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by 
£361k. As stated in note 4, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 4, indicate that 
a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

KEY	AUDIT	MATTERS	

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
financial  statements  of  the  current  period  and  include  the  most  significant  assessed  risks  of  material  misstatement 
(whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, 
the  allocation  of  resources  in  the  audit;  and  directing  the  efforts  of  the  engagement  team.  These  matters  were 
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and 
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Key audit matter 
Carrying value of intangible assets 
The  capitalisation  of  development  costs  as  an 
intangible  asset  requires  the  Board  of  Directors  to 
demonstrate  that  six  criteria  as  defined  within  IAS 
38 “Intangible Assets” have all been met.

long  term  growth  rates  were  also  compared  to  economic  and 
industry forecasts for reasonableness.

OUR	APPLICATION	OF	MATERIALITY	

Materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole was set at £71k (2016: £78k). 

This  has  been  calculated  as  3%  of  the  net  assets  (2016:  3%),  which  we  have  determined,  in  our  professional 
judgment, to be one of the principal benchmarks within the financial statements relevant to members of the Company 
in assessing financial performance of the Group. 

Materiality for the parent company financial statements was set at £63k (2016: £67k), determined with reference to a 
benchmark of the net assets of £2,103k, of which it represents 3% (2016: 3%). 

We report to the Director all corrected and uncorrected misstatements we identified through our audit with a value in 
excess  of  £3k  (2016:  £4),  in  addition  to  other  audit  misstatements  below  that  threshold  that  we  believe  warranted 
reporting on qualitative grounds. 

AN	OVERVIEW	OF	THE	SCOPE	OF	OUR	AUDIT	

All entities of the group were subject to full scope audit procedures for group and statutory reporting purposes. We did 
not rely on the work of any component auditors 

As part of our planning we assessed the risk of material misstatement including those that required significant auditor 
consideration at the component and group level. Procedures were then performed to address the risk identified and 
for the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement, the procedures performed are outlined above in the 
key audit matters section of this report. 

OTHER	INFORMATION	

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in 
the  annual  report,  other  than  the  financial  statements  and  our  auditor’s  report  thereon.  Our  opinion  on  the  financial 
statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we 
do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  financial  statements  or  our  knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or 
apparent  material  misstatements,  we  are  required  to  determine  whether  there  is  a  material  misstatement  in  the 
financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we 
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have 
nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT	AUDITOR’S	REPORT	
TO	THE	MEMBERS	OF	INSPIRIT	ENERGY	HOLDINGS	PLC	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017 

OPINIONS	ON	OTHER	MATTERS	PRESCRIBED	BY	THE	COMPANIES	ACT	2006	

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 
• 

the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial 
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 
the  strategic  report  and  the  directors’  report  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  applicable  legal 
requirements. 

• 

MATTERS	ON	WHICH	WE	ARE	REQUIRED	TO	REPORT	BY	EXCEPTION	

In  the  light  of  the  knowledge  and  understanding  of  the  company  and  its  environment  obtained  in  the  course  of  the 
audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us 
to report to you if, in our opinion: 
•  adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from 

branches not visited by us; or 
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

• 
•  certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 
•  we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

RESPONSIBILITIES	OF	DIRECTORS	

As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page  9, the directors are responsible for 
the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  and  for  being  satisfied  that  they  give  a  true  and  fair  view,  and  for  such 
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as 
a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  using  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting  unless  the  directors  either  intend  to  liquidate  the  company  or  to  cease  operations,  or  have  no  realistic 
alternative but to do so. 

AUDITOR’S	RESPONSIBILITIES	FOR	THE	AUDIT	OF	THE	FINANCIAL	STATEMENTS	

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from 
material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error,  and  to  issue  an  auditor’s  report  that  includes  our  opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 
ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could 
reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic  decisions  of  users  taken  on  the  basis  of  these  financial 
statements. 

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  statements  is  located  on  the  Financial 
Reporting  Council’s  website  at:  https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.  This  description  forms  part  of  our 
auditor’s report. 

This  report  is  made  solely  to  the  Company's  members,  as  a  body,  in  accordance  with  Chapter  3  of  Part  16  of  the 
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those 
matters  we  are  required  to  state  to  them  in  an  Auditors'  Report  and  for  no  other  purpose.  To  the  fullest  extent 
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's 
members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES	TO	THE	FINANCIAL	STATEMENTS	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017 

1 

GENERAL	INFORMATION	

The  principal  activity  of  Inspirit  Energy  Holdings  plc  during  the  period  was  that  of  developing  and 
commercialising the mCHP boiler.  

These  financial  statements  show  the  consolidated  results  of  the  Group  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2017 
together with the comparative results for the year ended 30 June 2016.  

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc is a company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales and quoted on 
the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. The address of its registered office is 2nd 
Floor, 2 London Wall Buildings, London, EC2M 5PP, United Kingdom.

SUMMARY	OF	SIGNIFICANT	ACCOUNTING	POLICIES	

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  
These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. 

BASIS	OF	PREPARATION	
The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  applicable  International 
Financial  Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”)  including  standards  and  interpretations  issued  by  both  the 
International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“IASB”)  and  the  International  Financial  Reporting  Interpretation 
Committee (“IFRIC”) as adopted and endorsed by the European Union (“EU”), further to IAS Regulation (EC 
1606/2002). 

The  consolidated  Financial  Statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention  and  are 
presented in GBP Pound Sterling, rounded to the nearest £1,000. 

The  preparation  of  Financial  Statements  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical 
accounting estimates.  It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the 
Group’s  accounting  policies.    The  areas  involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas 
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in 
Note 4.	

GOING	CONCERN		
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. 

The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Group and Company which reflect the Group’s and 
Company’s forecast cash inflows and costs. 

The  Group’s  activities,  together  with  the  factors  likely  to  affect  its  future  development,  performance  and 
position, are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 4 to 6. It also includes the Group’s objectives, policies 
and  processes  for  managing  its  business  risk  objectives,  which  includes  its  exposure  to  technology, 
customer and other operational risks.   

It  is  envisaged  by  the  Directors,  who  have  formed  a  judgement  at  the  time  of  approving  these  financial 
statements,  that  existing  cash  resources  together  with  these  forecast  cash  inflows  will  provide  adequate 
funds  for  the  Group  for  the  foreseeable  future.  For  this  reason  the  Directors  continue  to  adopt  the  going 
concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

NOTES	TO	THE	FINANCIAL	STATEMENTS	
FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017 

2 

SUMMARY	OF	SIGNIFICANT	ACCOUNTING	POLICIES	(continued)	

BASIS	OF	CONSOLIDATION	
Inspirit Energy Holdings plc, the legal parent, is domiciled and incorporated in the United Kingdom. 

The Group Financial Statements consolidate the Financial Statements of Inspirit Energy Holdings plc and its 
subsidiary, Inspirit Energy Limited, made up to 30 June 2017.  

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control.  Control is the power to govern the financial and 
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.  The Group obtains and exercises 
control through voting rights.  The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable 
or convertible are considered when assessing whether the company controls another entity. 

The cost of acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets acquired, equity instruments issued and 
liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange.  Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.  
Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  Group  companies  are 
eliminated.  Profits  and  losses  resulting  from  inter-company  transactions  that  are  recognised  in  assets  are 
also  eliminated.    Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure 
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting 
policies used into line with those used by the Group. 

STATEMENT	OF	COMPLIANCE	
At the date of authorisation of this document, the following Standards and Interpretations, which have not 
been applied in these financial statements, were in issue, but not yet effective: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
IFRS 16 Leases 
IAS 27 (amendments) Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements 

The Directors anticipate that the adoption of the above Standards and Interpretations in future periods will 
have little or no impact on the financial statements of the Company when the relevant Standards come into 
effect for future reporting periods, although they have yet to complete their full assessment in relation to the 
impact of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.	

SEGMENTAL	REPORTING	
The accounting policy for identifying segments is now based on internal management reporting information 
that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, which is identified as the Board of Directors. 

In  identifying  its  operating  segments,  management  generally  follows  the  Group's  service  lines  which 
represent  the  main  products  and  services  provided  by  the  Group.  The  Directors  believe  that  the  Group’s 
continuing trading operations comprise one segment.	

CURRENT	AND	DEFERRED	INCOME	TAX	
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax.  Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive 
Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity.  In this case the tax is also 
recognised directly in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at 
the  end  of  the  reporting  period  in  the  countries  where  the  Company’s  subsidiaries  operate  and  generate 
taxable income.  Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations 
in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation.  It establishes provisions where appropriate on 
the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

FOREIGN	CURRENCY	TRANSLATION	

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY 

a) 
Items included in the Financial Statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency 
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”).  

The  consolidated  Financial  Statements  are  presented  in  Pounds  Sterling  (£),  which  is  the  Company’s 
functional and the Group’s presentation currency. 

TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES 

b) 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing 
at  the  dates  of  the  transactions,  or  valuation  where  items  are  remeasured.    Foreign  exchange  gains  and 
losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions,  and  from  the  translation  at  year-end  exchange 
rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in 
the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  within  “Finance  Income”  or  “Finance  Costs”.    All  other  foreign 
exchange  gains  and  losses  are  presented  in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  within  “Other 
(Losses)/Gains – Net”.	

OPERATING	LEASES	

Leases  in  which  a  significant  portion  of  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  retained  by  the  lessor  are 
classified as operating leases.  

Payments  made  under  operating  leases  are  charged  to  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  on  a 
straight line basis over the period of the lease.		

PROPERTY,	PLANT	AND	EQUIPMENT	
Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  historical  cost  less  depreciation.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or  recognised  as  a  separate  asset,  as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the 
Group  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.    The  carrying  amount  of  the  replaced  part  is 
derecognised.  All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income 
during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation  is  calculated  to  allocate  the  cost  of  each  class  of  asset  to  their  residual  values  over  their 
estimated useful lives, as follows: 

•  Plant and Equipment – 15% reducing balance 
Fixtures and Fittings – 20% reducing balance 
• 
•  Motor Vehicles – 5 years, straight line 

The  assets’  residual  values  and  useful  lives  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  the  end  of  each 
reporting period. 

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s  carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount, and 
are recognised within “Other (Losses)/Gains – Net” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

INTANGIBLE	ASSETS	

DEVELOPMENT	COSTS 

Development costs relate to expenditure on the development of certain new products and service projects 
where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain as regards viability and 
technical feasibility.  Such expenditure is capitalised and amortised over the expected sales life of the 
product, being generally a period not longer than five years commencing in the year the sales of the product 
were first made.	

Development  costs  incurred  on  specific  projects  are  capitalised  when  all  the  following  conditions  are 
satisfied: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

• 

completion of the intangible asset is technically feasible so that it will be available for use or sale 
the Group intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it 
the Group has the ability to use or sell the intangible asset 
the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits 
there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use 
or sell the intangible asset, and 
the  expenditure  attributable  to  the  intangible  asset  during  its  development  can  be  measured 
reliably. 

Directly  attributable  costs  that  are  capitalised  as  part  of  the  product  include  any  employee  costs  and  an 
appropriate portion of relevant overheads. 

Other development expenditure that does not meet these criteria is recognised as an expense as incurred.  
Development  costs  previously  recognised  as  an  expense  are  not  recognised  as  an  asset  in  a  subsequent 
period.	
IMPAIRMENT	OF	NON-FINANCIAL	ASSETS	
Assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful  life,  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are  tested  annually  for 
impairment.    Assets  that  are  subject  to  amortisation  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is 
recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.    The 
recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset’s  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.    For  the 
purposes  of  assessing  impairment,  assets  are  grouped  at  the  lowest  levels  for  which  there  are  separately 
identifiable  cash  flows  (cash-generating  units).    Non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  that  suffered  an 
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

FINANCIAL	ASSETS	

CLASSIFICATION 

a) 
The  Group  classifies  its  financial  assets  in  the  following  categories:  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  and 
loans  and  receivables.  The  classification  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the  financial  assets  were 
acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. 

FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS 
Financial assets at fair value or loss are financial assets held for trading.  A financial asset is classified in this 
category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term.     

Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, 
they are classified as non-current. 

LOANS AND RECEIVABLES 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not 
quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months 
after the Statement of Financial Position date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans 
and  receivables  comprise  trade  and  other  receivables  and  cash  and  cash  equivalents  in  the  Statement  of 
Financial Position.	

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

b) 
Regular  purchases  and  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  on  the  trade  date –  the  date  on  which  the 
Group commits to purchasing or selling the asset.  Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss 
is initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the Statement of Comprehensive 
Income.    Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  assets  have 
expired or have been transferred, and the Group has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of 
ownership.  

Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  subsequently  carried  at  fair  value.    Loans  and 
receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within “Other (Losses)/Gains – Net” in the period 
in which they arise.

FOR	THE	YEAR	ENDED	30	June	2017

SUMMARY	OF	SIGNIFICANT	ACCOUNTING	POLICIES	(continued)	

IMPAIRMENT	OF	FINANCIAL	ASSETS	
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial 
asset, or a group of financial assets, is impaired. A financial asset, or a group of financial assets, is impaired, 
and  impairment  losses  are  incurred,  only  if  there  is  objective  evidence  of  impairment  as  a  result  of  one  or 
more  events  that  occurred  after  the  initial  recognition  of  the  asset  (a  “loss  event”),  and  that  loss  event  (or 
events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset, or group of financial assets, 
that can be reliably estimated. 

The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

• 

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;  
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;  
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; 
observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows 
from  a  portfolio  of  financial  assets  since  the  initial  recognition  of  those  assets,  although  the 
decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio; or 
for assets classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the 
security below its cost.  

ASSETS CARRIED AT AMORTISED COST 

The  amount  of  impairment  is  measured  as  the  difference  between  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the 
present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  (excluding  future  credit  losses  that  have  not  been  incurred), 
discounted  at  the  financial  asset’s  original  effective  interest  rate.  The  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  reduced, 
and the loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  As a practical expedient, the Group 
may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. 

If,  in  a  subsequent  period,  the  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  decreases  and  the  decrease  can  be  related 
objectively  to  an  event  occurring  after  the  impairment  was  recognised  (such  as  an  improvement  in  the 
debtor’s  credit  rating),  the  reversal  of  the  previously  recognised  impairment  loss  is  recognised  in  the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

TRADE	AND	OTHER	RECEIVABLES	
Trade  receivables  are  amounts  due  from  customers  for  merchandise  sold  or  services  performed  in  the 
ordinary course of business.  If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of 
the business if longer), they are classified as current assets.  If not they are presented as non-current assets. 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.	

CASH	AND	CASH	EQUIVALENTS	
In  the  consolidated  Statement  of  Cash  Flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  in  hand  and 
deposits held at call with banks. 

FINANCIAL	LIABILITIES	
The Group’s financial liabilities comprise trade payables.  Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or 
other financial assets and are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of 
the instruments.

SUMMARY	OF	SIGNIFICANT	ACCOUNTING	POLICIES	(continued)	

SHAREHOLDERS’	EQUITY	
Equity comprises the following: 

• 
• 

• 
• 

“Share capital” represents the nominal value of equity shares. 
“Share premium” represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received 
for equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue. 
“Option reserve” represents the cumulative cost of share based payments.  
“Retained losses" represents retained losses.	

TRADE	PAYABLES	
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using 
the effective interest rate method.	

BORROWINGS	
Borrowings  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.    Borrowings  are 
subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and 
the  redemption  value  is  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  over  the  period  of  the 
borrowings, using the effective interest method. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.	

BORROWINGS	COSTS	
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.	

SHARE	BASED	PAYMENTS	
The Group operates equity-settled, share-based schemes, under which it receives services from employees 
or  third  party  suppliers  as  consideration  for  equity  instruments  (options  and  warrants)  of  the  Group.  The 
Group may also issue warrants to share subscribers as part of a share placing. The fair value of the equity-
settled share based payments is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or 
charged to equity depending on the nature of the service provided or instrument issued. The total amount to 
be expensed or charged is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:  

• 
• 

• 

including any market performance conditions;  
excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, 
profitability  or  sales  growth  targets,  or  remaining  an  employee  of  the  entity  over  a  specified  time 
period); and  
including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to 
save). 

In  the  case  of  warrants  the  amount  charged  to  equity  is  determined  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the 
services received if available. If the fair value of the services received is not determinable, the warrants are 
valued by reference to the fair value of the warrants granted as described previously.  

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options or warrants that are 
expected to vest. The total expense or charge is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over 
which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity 
revises  its  estimates  of  the  number  of  options  that  are  expected  to  vest  based  on  the  non-market  vesting 
conditions.  It  recognises  the  impact  of  the  revision  to  original  estimates,  if  any,  in  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income or equity as appropriate, with a corresponding adjustment to a separate reserve in 
equity.  

When  the  options  are  exercised,  the  Company  issues  new  shares.  The  proceeds  received,  net  of  any 
directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.

FINANCIAL	RISK	MANAGEMENT	

The  Group  is  exposed  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks  which  result  from  both  its  operating  and  investing 
activities.    The  Group’s  risk  management  is  coordinated  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  and  focuses  on  actively 
securing the Group’s short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. 

The  main  risks  the  Group  is  exposed  to  through  its  financial  instruments  are  market  risk  (including  market 
price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. 	

MARKET	PRICE	RISK	
The  Group’s  exposure  to  market  price  risk  mainly  arises  from  potential  movements  in  the  pricing  of  its 
products.  The Group manages this price risk within its long-term strategy to grow the business and maximise 
shareholder return. . 

CREDIT	RISK	
The Group’s financial instruments that are subject to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and loans and 
receivables.  The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible since the counterparties 
are reputable financial institutions.  

The  Group’s  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  is  £204,000  (2016:  £587,000)  comprising  cash  and  cash 
equivalents and loans and receivables.	

LIQUIDITY	RISK	
Liquidity  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  the  Group  might  encounter  difficulty  in  settling  its  debts  or 
otherwise  meeting  its  obligations  related  to  financial  liabilities.  The  Group  manages  this  risk  through 
maintaining a positive cash balance and controlling expenses and commitments.  The Directors are confident 
that adequate resources exist to finance current operations. 

The  following  table  summarises  the  maturity  profile  of  the  Group’s  non-derivative  financial  liabilities  with 
agreed  repayment  periods.  The  table  has  been  drawn  up  based  on  contractual  undiscounted  cash  flows 
based  on  the  earliest  repayment  date  on  which  the  Group  can  be  required  to  pay.  The  table  includes  both 
interest  and  principal  cash  flows.  To  the  extent  that  the  interest  flows  are  floating  rate,  the  undiscounted 
amount is derived from the interest rate curves at the balance sheet date:

CAPITAL	RISK	MANAGEMENT	
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are: 

• 

• 
• 

to  safeguard  the  Group’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  so  that  it  continues  to  provide  returns 
and benefits for shareholders; 
to support the Group’s growth; and 
to provide capital for the purpose of strengthening the Group’s risk management capability. 

The  Group  actively  and  regularly  reviews  and  manages  its  capital  structure  to  ensure  an  optimal  capital 
structure and equity holder returns, taking into consideration the future capital requirements of the Group and 
capital  efficiency,  prevailing  and  projected  profitability,  projected  operating  cash  flows,  projected  capital 
expenditures and projected strategic investment opportunities.  Management regards total equity as capital 
and reserves, for capital management purposes.

CRITICAL	ACCOUNTING	ESTIMATES	AND	JUDGEMENTS	
The  preparation  of  Financial  Statements  in  conformity  with  IFRSs  requires  management  to  make 
judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  policies  and  reported  amounts  of 
assets and liabilities, income and expenses.  Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are 
based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances. 

CRITICAL	ACCOUNTING	ESTIMATES	AND	ASSUMPTIONS	
The  Group  makes  estimates  and  assumptions  concerning  the  future.    The  resulting  accounting  estimates 
will,  by  definition,  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.    The  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a 
significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the 
next financial year are discussed below.  

GOING	CONCERN	
As  at  30  June  2017  the  Group  had  a  cash  balance  of  £30,000  (2016:  £258,000),  net  current  liabilities)  / 
assets of  negative £361,000 (2016: £39,000) and net assets of £2,360,000 (2016: £2,597,000). The Group 
continues to incur costs in the development and modification of their products and is pre-revenue.  

Therefore the cash flow forecasts for the Group and Company show that further equity and/or borrowings will 
be required to complete the final development and external testing of the Group’s mCHP boilers and bring 
them into production to get to a cash flow positive position. Although the Directors are confident that further 
debt  or  equity  can  be  raised  at  a  valuation  acceptable  to  the  Group  there  is  no  guarantee  this  will  be  the 
case. 

IMPAIRMENT	OF	DEVELOPMENT	COSTS	AND	INVESTMENTS	
The  Group  tests  annually  whether  development  costs  and  investments  in  the  subsidiaries,  which  have  a 
carrying value of £2,668,000 and £2,440,000, respectively (2016: £2,495,000 and £2,440,000, respectively), 
have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policy as stated in Note 2.   

Investments  are  reviewed  for  impairment  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying 
amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  When  a  review  for  impairment  is  conducted,  the  recoverable  amount  is 
determined  based  on  value  in  use  calculations  prepared  on  the  basis  of  management’s  assumptions  and 
estimates.    As  a  result  of  their  2017  review  management  has  concluded  that  no  impairment  charge  to  the 
carrying  value  of  investment  in  subsidiaries  is  needed,  following  the  £1,800,000  impairment  in  2015.  See 
Note 15 to the Financial Statements. 

In respect of development costs, the recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined, 
based on value-in-use calculations.  The value–in-use calculations require the entity to estimate future cash 
flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit and apply a suitable discount rate in order to calculate 
present value. The recoverable amount of the development costs have been determined, based on value in 
use  calculations.  These  calculations  require  the  use  of  estimates.  The  Directors  have  concluded  that  no 
impairment charge is necessary. 

SHARE	BASED	PAYMENTS	
The  Group  has  previously  made  awards  of  options  and  warrants  over  its  unissued  share  capital  to  certain 
Directors and employees as part of their remuneration package.  Certain warrants have also been issued to 
shareholders as part of their subscription for shares and to suppliers for various services received. 

The  fair  value  of  options  is  determined  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  options  granted,  excluding  the 
impact  of  any  non-market  vesting  conditions.  In  accordance  with  IFRS  2  ‘Share  Based  Payments’,  the 
Company has recognised the fair value of options, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
The Directors have made assumptions particularly regarding the volatility of the share price at the grant date 
in order to reach a fair value. Further information is disclosed in Note 20.

The Group has excess management expenses of approximately £4,500,000 (2016: £4,150,000), capital 
losses of £150,000 (2016: £150,000) and non-trade financial losses of approximately £119,000 (2016: 
£119,000) to carry forward against future suitable taxable profits. No deferred tax asset has been 
provided on any of these losses due to uncertainty over the timing of their recovery.

EARNINGS	PER	SHARE 

Loss  per  ordinary  share  has  been  calculated  by  dividing  the  loss  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the 
Company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. The calculations by both 
basic  and  diluted  loss  per  share  for  the  year  are  based  upon  the  loss  for  the  year  of  £419,000  (2016: 
£458,000).  The  weighted  number  of  equity  shares  in  issue  during  the  year  was  973,990,421  (2016: 
794,406,441). 

In accordance with IAS 33, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical as the effect of the exercise 
of share options and warrants would be to decrease the loss per share and therefore deemed anti-dilutive. 
Details of share options and warrants that could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods are 
set out in Notes 2.

No  amortisation  has  been  recognised  on  development  costs  to  date  as  the  assets  are  still  in  the 
development stage and the related products are not yet ready for sale.   

The  recoverable  amount  of  the  above  cash  generating  unit  has  been  determined  based  on  value-in-use 
calculations.  The  value-in-use  calculations  use  cash  flow  projections  based  on  financial  budgets  approved 
by  Management  covering  a  seven  year  period.  These  incorporate  potential  revenues  which  are  based  on 
project  tenders  and  projected  revenue.    Given  the  nature  of  the  work  and  the  visibility  of  revenue  in  the 
future, it is considered appropriate not to extend the cash flow workings beyond this period.   

The recoverable amount based on value-in-use exceeded the carrying value above.  The impairment review 
did not identify any impairment for recognition in the current or prior year.

Note 1  The Drawdown facility relates to the facility entered into during the prior year with YA Global Master 
SPV  Limited,  showing  the  remaining  balance  outstanding  at  the  year  end.  The  facility  is  unsecured  and 
carries an implied interest rate of 10 per cent per annum, repayable in 12 equal monthly instalments. 

On 30 April 2015 the Company issued warrants to subscribe for 9,283,364 new ordinary shares as part of 
the unsecured $3,000,000 Debt facility arrangement with YA Global Master SPV Limited (“YA Global”). The 
issue of the warrants was triggered following the drawdown of the initial Tranche 1, being $400,000, under 
the terms of the agreement. The terms of the issue of warrants are governed by the Debt Facility agreement, 
which specify that for every tranche drawn down, the Company is required to issue 25% of the value of the 
drawdown based on the interbank rate at the nearest possible date and using the average Volume Weighted 
Average  Price  (“VWAP”)  of  the  Company  for  the  five  trading  days  immediately  prior  the  date  of  the 
agreement. Based on those terms, were the Company to drawdown the remaining $2,600,000 they would be 
required to issue further warrants to subscribe for an estimated total of 99,622,448 new ordinary shares. This 
is based on the Exchange rate as at 30 June 2016 of $1 / £0.751 and a VWAP of 0.49p. The Directors do not 
expect to use the remaining facility in the foreseeable future
