CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

INTRODUCTION 

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

COMMERCIALISATION AND PROGRESS 

During the year, the Group has continued to advance its microCHP boiler closer to towards the goal of commercialisation. 
To this end, improvements to the design of the Group's Stirling engine technology, including simplification as part of the 
'design for manufacture’ process and meeting the challenges in new technology development, sourcing cheaper materials 
and efficiency re-redesign has resulted in the delay in certification and we hope to progress forward with higher output 
and cheaper cost base in the new year. An impairment to the value of the intangible asset in the financial statements has 
been recognised in relation to development costs which have not directly contributed to the latest version of the microCHP 
boiler. 

The Group is currently in discussion with a European company that may carry out the certification process with the new 
cheaper but robust material employed in the latest model.  

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 2019.  

The Board may consider potentially  making investments in complementary areas and technologies that will utilise the 
Company's existing technical expertise and that may provide a funding stream for the mCHP.  

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 2018 

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 2018. 

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 6 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 

On 15 August 2017, the Company announced that it raised £300,000 by issuing  250,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of 
0.1p each at a price of 0.12p per Ordinary Share together with a Director's subscription to 41,666,666 shares included in 
this placing. 

On 4 May 2018, the Company announced that it had raised £530,000 in cash from private investors through the issue of 
Convertible Loan Notes (CLNs) and converted existing debt due to Related Parties and other third-party debt valued at 
£315,000 into the CLNs. The principal amount of the CLNs are convertible at the higher of either 0.07 p per Ordinary 
Share of 0.1p each or a discount of 25 per cent. to the previous trading day's closing market share price. The CLNs are 
interest  free,  convertible  at  the  Company's  option  and,  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  are  only  repayable  by  the 
Company in Ordinary Shares following a conversion notice.  

On 6 June 2018, the Company announced that members at a General meeting on the same day, approved the completion 
of a Capital Reorganisation which comprised of sub-division of shares whereby each existing Ordinary Share of 0.1 pence 
each  in  the  capital  of  the  Company  has  been  sub-divided into  1  New  Ordinary  Shares  of  0.001  pence  each  and  1  B 
Deferred  Share  of  0.099  pence  each.  This  will  result  in  1,420,806,859  New  Ordinary  Shares  and  1,420,806,859  B 
Deferred Shares in issue. 

The B Deferred Shares have no rights and the Company will not issue any share certificates or credit CREST accounts 
in respect of them. 

BOARD CHANGES 

On 24 April 2018, the Company announced it appointed Mr Anthony Samaha as a Non-Executive Director. 

RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS 

The Group made a loss after taxation of £953,000 (2017: loss of £419,000). The Group made an impairment of £424,000 
in relation the historic capitalised development costs in the year which no longer attributable to the current version of the 
mCHP boiler, which is included in the above loss.  

The Directors do not propose a dividend for the year to 30 June 2018 (2017: £nil).

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.  

Other risks and uncertainties within the Group are detailed in principle 4 of the Corporate Governance Report. 

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 Bank Plc. More information is given in Note 3 to the Financial Statements. The Group 
has no significant concentrations of credit risk. 

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The  Group’s  objectives  when  managing  capital  are  to  safeguard  the  Group’s  and  Company’s  ability  to  continue  its 
activities and bring its products to market. Capital is  defined based on the total equity of the Company. The Company 
monitors its level of cash resources available against future planned activities and may issue new shares in order to raise 
further funds from time to time.  

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.

RESEARCH AND DVELOPMENT 
For  details  of  the  development  activities  undertaken  in  the  year,  please  refer  to  principle  1  of  the  Corporate 
Governance Report. 

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.  

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. 

MATTERS COVERED IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT 

The  business  review,  results,  review  of  KPI’s  and  future  developments  are  included  in  the  Strategic  Report  and 
Chairman’s Statement.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

GOING CONCERN 

As at 30 June 2018 the Group had a cash balance of £45,000 (2017: £30,000), net current assets of £97,000 (2017: 
net  current  liabilities  of  £361,000)  and  net  assets  of  £1,698,000  (2017:  £2,360,000).  The  Group  raises  money  for 
development,  capital  projects  and  working  capital  purposes  as  and  when  required  and  maintains  access  to  the 
drawdown  facility  detailed  out  in  note  20.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Group’s  project  will  become  fully 
developed and reach commercialisation nor that there will be sufficient cash resources available to the Group to do 
so. Notwithstanding the loss and cash outflows incurred in the year and the requirement for further funds to become 
available,  the  Directors  have  a  reasonable  expectation  that  the  Group  will  be  able  to  raise  funds  to  continue  in 
operational existence and use its drawdown facility if required to move its projects towards regulatory sign off and 
commercialisation. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report 
and Financial Statements. Further details on the Directors assumption and their conclusion thereon are included in 
Note 2 to the financial statements.  

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE 

On 28 August 2018, the company formally adopted the QCA Corporate Governance Code and this is reproduced on 
Page 9.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES 
The  Directors  are  responsible  for  preparing  the  Annual  Report  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 parent company and of the profit or loss of the group and the parent company 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 group 
and the parent 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 the 
parent 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 the parent 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 

PKF  Littlejohn  LLP  were  appointed  as  auditor  in  the  financial  year.  A  resolution  that  they  be  re-appointed  will  be 
proposed at the annual general meeting. PKF Littlejohn LLP have indicated their willingness to continue in office.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT  

Inspirit Energy Holdings PLC 

Quoted Companies Alliance Code (“QCA Code”) 

Principles: 

Application: 

1)  Strategy and 

business model to 
promote long-term 
values for 
shareholders 

Inspirit  Energy  Holdings  PLC  (“INSP”)  has  made  improvements  to  the  design 
announced last year of the Group’s Stirling engine technology, including simplification 
as  part  of  the  ‘design  for  manufacture  (“DMF”)  process  and  has  encouragingly 
maintained the peak electrical output up to 3.2kW in internal tests.  

The  engineering  department  has  throughout  the  last  period  made  significant 
developments  in  our  regenerator  technology.  The  increased  efficiency  in  the 
regenerator will allow the Stirling engine to be manufactured from a commodity grade 
stainless steel derivative, which is both stronger and cheaper to manufacture than 
the previous proprietary “Inconel” materials.  

The  DMF  process  continues  to  yield  several  engineering  improvements  and 
manufacturing  cost  reductions,  whilst  others  are  still  expected.  Whilst  this  DMF 
process  remains  ongoing,  the  Group  is  now  looking  to  proceed  to  the certification 
process  whereby  the  Inspirit  Charger  will  be  subjected  to  testing  by  a  competent 
authority.  Once  this  has  been  achieved,  the  Group  can  then  look  towards 
commencing field trails with commercial partners. The Group will update investors as 
these milestones are met over the forthcoming year.  

The  operating  board  believe  that  the  process  over  the  last  six  months  has  been 
positive.  Whilst  INSP  remain  well  positioned  in  the  microchip  boiler  technology 
market, ongoing funding for the development and commercialisation of our product 
remains a challenge. Accordingly, the Group continues to manage resources whilst 
pushing forward with the product and expect this to continue in the near future.  

The  Group  will  also  potentially  make  investments  in  complementary  areas  and 
technologies that will utilise the Group's existing technical expertise.    

2)  Meeting and 

understanding 
shareholders needs 
and expectations 

INSP has a close and ongoing relationship with its shareholders. The Company also 
places great importance on effective and timely communication with its shareholders. 
Shareholders  are  encouraged  to  attend  the  Company’s  meetings  (including  the 
Annual  General  Meeting)  to  provide  feedback  and  to  actively  engage  with  the 
management on a regular basis. Furthermore, the INSP’s shareholders and investors 
can keep themselves updated about the current Company’s position by visiting the 
INSP’s website http://www.inspirit-energy.com. 

3)  Considering 

stakeholders and 
social 
responsibilities and 
their implications 
for long term 
success 

INSP’s Board recognises that the long-term success of the Group is reliant on efforts 
of its employees, consultants, suppliers, regulators and stakeholders.  

Employees: In order to support employees’ growth and enforce social responsibilities 
INSP’s  Board  has  implemented  systems  to  monitor  and  evaluate  employees’ 
performance  and  to  encourage  well  performing  employees  to  progress  further  by 
supporting them to attend courses. Employees’ performance is monitored through a 
process designed to encourage open and confidential communication between the 
management and the employees on a regular basis.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

Consultants: The Board recognises that consultants play a vital part for INSP as they 
bring knowledge and expertise for specific areas, and in some instances, they also 
provide training for existing staff.  

Suppliers: INSP maintains a good working relationship with its suppliers to provide 
for its growing business and to support its existing needs.  

Regulators:  The  Board  monitors  and  implements  any  legal  or  regulatory  changes 
where possible both domestically and overseas and is fully committed to compliance.  

Stakeholders: INSP encourages its shareholders to actively participate in meetings 
and  shareholders  are  provided  with  the  opportunity  to  give  feedback  on  a  regular 
basis.  

4)  Risk Management 

The risks in the Group are managed by the audit committee which is responsible to 
the  Board  to  work  closely  with  the  executive  directors  to  identify,  implement  and 
manage risks faced by the Group.  

INSP has robust controls and procedures in place to manage internal controls of the 
Company and these are considered to be appropriate to the size and complexity of 
the  organisation.  The  audit  committee  has  been  set  up  to  evaluate  and  manage 
significant risks faced by the Group. 

Control is established mainly through the Group’s directors who monitor and support 
the day to day running of the Group and where possible comply with the Boards’ and 
shareholders concerns and requirements.  

INSP has identified and implemented the following risks and controls to mitigate risks:

The above matrix is kept up to date and regularly reviewed as changes arise in order 
to mitigate risks.  

At the date of this publication the Board comprises of the Chairman (John Gunn), the 
Chief Financial Officer (Nilesh Jagatia) and the independent Non-Executive Director 
(Anthony Samaha). Further detail about the skills and capabilities of these directors 
are set out in the principle six below.  

The letter of appointment of the Company’s Directors and Secretary are available for 
inspection  at  the  Company’s  registered  office  and  all  directors  are  subject  to  re-
election at intervals of no more than three years.    

The Board is responsible for strategy and performance of major capital projects and 
the  framework  of  internal  controls.  All  directors  have  access  to  seek  independent 
advice should they feel that their knowledge of the given task is insufficient. There is 
a clear balance between the executive director and the non-executive director.  

Furthermore, the directors liaise with the Company Secretary (Nilesh Jagatia), who 
is  responsible  for  compliance  with  the  Board procedures  and  that  applicable  rules 
and regulations are complied with.  

The Board meets quarterly. The Board established the following committees; Audit 
Committee and Remuneration Committee. All Directors are encouraged to participate 
and attend meetings on a regular basis and the attendance is closely monitored.  

Despite  the  QCA  recommendation  of  having  two  independent  directors  INSP  has 
adopted to have only one non-executive director and a joint role of Chief Executive 
Director and the Chairman as they feel that this is appropriate to the current size and 
complexity of the organisation. INSP is still in the R&D phase of its business cycle 
and therefore relies on a team of consultants in developing the product. Following 
conclusion of this process, certification is managed externally, and then commercial 
trials would commence. As such the role of the Board, at this stage, is to oversee this

stakeholders. Our Code of business Conduct means that our employees understand 
that  we  provide  ourselves  in  high  ethical  standards.  INSP  has  zero  tolerance  for 
bribery and corruption among our employees.  

The  Board  is  responsible  for  the  ultimate  decision  making,  the  structures  and 
processes  adopted  by  INSP.  The  Board  is  headed  by  the  Chairman.  In  order  to

the board, as well as 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

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF INSPIRIT ENERGY HOLDINGS PLC 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial statements of Inspirit Energy Holdings Plc (the ‘parent company’) and its subsidiaries 
(the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 June 2018 which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the 
Group and Company Statement of Financial Position, the Group and Company Statements of Changes in Equity, 
the Consolidated 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 and as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the 
Companies Act 2006.  

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 2018 and of the group’s and parent company’s loss for the year then ended;  
the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the 
European Union; 
the  parent  company  financial  statements  have  been  properly  prepared  in  accordance  with  IFRSs  as 
adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 
2006; and 
the financial statements 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 group and parent 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.  

Conclusions relating to going concern  

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report 
to you where:  

• 

• 

the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is 
not appropriate;  
or the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may 
cast  significant  doubt  about  the  company’s  ability  to  continue  to  adopt  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised 
for issue. Our application of materiality  

Our application of Materiality 

Materiality for the Group financial statements was set at £95k (2017: £71k). 

This has been calculated at an average of 5% of the gross assets and 5% of net loss before tax (2017: 3% of net 
assets), which we have determined, in our professional judgment, to be the two key principal benchmarks within the 
financial statements relevant to members of the Company in assessing financial performance of the Group.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF INSPIRIT ENERGY HOLDINGS PLC 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

Materiality for the parent company financial statements was set at £72k (2017: £63k), determined with reference to 
a benchmark of 5% of the gross assets and 5% of the loss before tax. (2017: 3% of net assets). 

We report to the Directors all corrected and uncorrected misstatements we identified through our audit with a value 
in  excess  of  £4.75k  (2017:  £3k),  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. 

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  of 
£2.4m  (2017:  £2.7m)  Refer  to  Note  4: 
Critical Accounting Estimates 
There is a risk that the amounts capitalised 
during the year do not meet the recognition 
criteria of IAS 38 “Intangible Assets”. 

There is also a risk of irrecoverability. The 
this 
estimated  recoverable  amount  of 
balance 
inherent 
is  subjective  due  to 
uncertainty  involved  in  forecasting  and 
discounting future cash flows.  

How we addressed it 
Our work in this area included: 

•  Enquiry  of  management  on  the  technical  and  commercial 
feasibility of the capitalised assets including progress towards 
product certification and commercialisation; 

•  Assessing  the  eligibility  of  expenditure  for  capitalisation  in 

accordance with IAS 38; 

•  Reviewing the management prepared value in use calculation 
for accuracy and challenging the key assumptions therein; 
•  Considering  any  technical  development  to  the  mCHP  boiler 
and  whether  these  indicated  an  impairment  to  prior  costs 
capitalised; and 

•  Reviewing  the  disclosures  made  surrounding  the  intangible 
assets and the judgements and estimates related thereto.  

Based  on  the  audit  work  performed  it  was  identified  that,  due  to  the 
overhaul  of  the  electrical  components  during  the  year,  previously 
capitalised  development  costs  which  have  not  attributed  to  the  latest 
version of the mCHP boiler were required to be impaired. As a result an 
impairment of £424k was recognised within profit and loss.  

Successful  commercialisation  of  the  MCHP  is  reliant  both  on  project 
completion and the required regulatory approvals  being obtained. It is 
drawn to the users’ attention that neither of these matters are certain. 
Failure to achieve the above may result in  a further impairment to the 
assets capitalised.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF INSPIRIT ENERGY HOLDINGS PLC 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

Other information  

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements 
and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the group 
and parent company 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.  

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 group and the parent company and their 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit 
have not been received from branches not visited by us; or  
the parent company 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, the directors are responsible for the preparation 
of the group and parent company 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 group and parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 
group’s and the parent 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 
group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF INSPIRIT ENERGY HOLDINGS PLC 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

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: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s 
report.  

Use of our 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  auditor’s  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.

Inspirit Energy Holdings plc 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

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  2018 
together with the comparative results for the year ended 30 June 2017.  

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. 

2 

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  financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted and endorsed by the European 
Union (“EU”) and with the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. 

The 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 financial statements are disclosed in Note 4. 

GOING CONCERN  
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the going concern basis.  The  mCHP  boiler  development 
project has not yet reached commercialisation and as such the Group is not generating revenues. An operating 
loss and cash outflows are expected in the 12 months subsequent to the date of these financial statements. 
As a result, the Group and Company will need to either raise funding or use the drawdown facility available 
(see note 20) to provide working capital and fund project development.  

Based on the board approved forecasts, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the 
Company has access to adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore 
they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. Money 
is raised or the drawdown facility used for working capital purposes and to fund project development as and 
when required. There can be no assurance that the Group’s core project will ever be fully developed or reach 
commercialisation.

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 2018.  

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control.  The Group controls an entity when it is exposed 
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power over the entity. 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 
There were no standards or interpretations effective for the year ended 30 June 2018 that had a material 
impact on the Group or Company. 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 
IFRS 2 (amendments) Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions 
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
•  Annual Improvements to IFRS 2015-2017 Cycle 

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. 

SEGMENTAL REPORTING 
Developing and commercialising the mCHP boiler is the only activity in which the Group is engaged and is 
therefore considered as the only operating / reportable segment. The financial information therefore of the 
single  segment  is  the  same  as  that  set  out  in  the  Group  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income,  Group 
Statement of Financial Position, Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the Group and 
Company Cash Flow Statement. 

CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAX 
The tax credit 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 credit 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 or recoverable from the tax authorities.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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 Group and Company’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”.  

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

DEVELOPMENT COSTS 

Development costs relate to expenditure on the development of the mCHP boiler technology.   

Development costs incurred on the project 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 directly related 
to the development of the asset and appropriate expenditure which directly furthers the development of the 
project. 

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.  
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. See note 4 for more 
information on the impairment assessment performed by management. 

FINANCIAL ASSETS 

a) CLASSIFICATION 
The  Group  classifies  its  financial  as  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. 

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. 

b) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs. 

Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except 
for short term receivables.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

c) 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. 

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 
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. Financial liabilities are initially measured at 
fair value, net of transactions costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method. 

Financial  liabilities  are  derecognised  when  the  Group  or  Company’s  contractual  obligations  expire,  are 
cancelled or are discharged. 

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.  
“Merger  reserve”  and  “Reverse  Acquisition  reserve”  represents  historical  reserves  formed  upon 
previous Business Combinations entered into by the Company. 

“Retained losses" represents retained losses.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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  £460,000  (2017:  £204,000)  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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

4  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 2018 the Group had a cash balance of £45,000 (2017: £30,000), net current assets of £97,000 
(2017: net current liabilities of £361,000) and net assets of £1,698,000 (2017: £2,360,000). The Group continues 
to incur costs in the development and modification of their products and is pre-revenue.  

Management  has  made  judgements  in  relation  to  their  ability  to  raise  funding  for  working  capital  and  product 
development. There can be no guarantee that sufficient funds will be raised. Further details are included in Note 
2. 

IMPAIRMENT OF DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES 
The Group tests annually whether development costs and investments in the subsidiaries, which have a carrying 
value  of  £2,401,000,  and  £2,440,000,  respectively  (2017:  £2,668,000  and  £2,440,000,  respectively),  have 
suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policy as stated in Note 2.   

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 2018 review 
management has concluded that an impairment of £424,000 is required due to the original electrical components 
within the boiler requiring a complete redesign. The impairment was based on  management’s estimates of the 
time spent developing the electrics being an estimated percentage of the total time spent on development. 

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, once commercial production is achieved, and apply a suitable 
discount rate in order to calculate present value. These calculations require the use of estimates. See Note 11 
for further details.

INCOME TAX CREDIT (continued) 

The  tax  on  the  Group's  loss  before  tax  differs  from  the  theoretical  amount  that  would  arise  using  the  weighted 
average rate applicable to losses of the consolidated entities as follows: 

Loss before tax from continuing operations 

Loss  before  tax  multiplied  by  rate  of  corporation  tax  in  the  UK  of  19%  (2017:

The Group has excess management expenses of approximately £4,800,000 (2017: £4,500,000), capital losses 
of £150,000 (2017: £150,000) and non-trade financial losses of approximately £119,000 (2017: £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. 

10  EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Earnings  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 of both basic 
and diluted earnings per share for the year are based upon the loss for the year of £953,000 (2017: £419,000). 
The weighted number of equity shares in issue during the year was 1,359,376,947 (2017: 973,990,421). 
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 
Note 17.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018 

11  INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) 

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. As such, the value-in-use calculations to support the 
carrying  value  of  development  costs  is  directly  reliant  on  the  availability  of  future  capital  funding  in  order  to 
achieve product accreditation and enter into commercial production. 
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. They key estimates in the value-in-use calculation are: 
Growth rate – Nonlinear: year on year increase based on director estimations 
Discount rate – 30% 
Gross margin – 35% 
The  calculations  are  not  sensitive  to  probable  changes  in  the  key  assumptions.  The  impairment  in  the  year 
arose due to previously capitalised electrical development costs no longer contributing to the latest mCHP boiler. 

Other than the above costs, no expenditure (2017: £0) was incurred in relation to research and development 
which have been expensed in the year.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2018

BORROWINGS (continued) 

Note 1 

The Drawdown facility relates to the facility entered into during the prior year with YA Global Master SPV Limited. 
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. The Directors do not expect to 
use the remaining facility in the foreseeable future. On 25 April 2018, YA Global entered into an agreement for 
Convertible Loan Notes (“CLNs) which converted £100k of the existing drawdown into CLNs (see note 2). 

Note 2   

The Company during the year raised £530,000 in cash from private investors through the issue of Convertible 
Loan Notes and converted existing debt due to Related Parties (as further detailed below) and other third-party 
debt valued at £315,000 into the CLNs. The principal amount of the CLNs are convertible at the higher of either 
0.07 p per Ordinary Share of 0.1p each (the "Ordinary Shares" or "Existing Ordinary Shares" and subject to 
the Capital Reorganisation as set out below) or a discount of 25 per cent. to the previous trading day's closing 
market share price. The CLNs are interest free, convertible at the Company's option and, in the ordinary course, 
only  are  repayable by  the  Company  in  Ordinary  Shares  following  a  conversion notice.  Any  Ordinary  Shares 
issued on conversion of the CLNs will rank pari passu with existing Ordinary Shares. Conversion of the CLNs is 
subject to a restriction that no conversion shall take place in circumstances where as a result of the conversion 
the Noteholder or any party deemed to be acting in concert with such Noteholder, as defined in the Takeover 
Code, would own more than 29.9% of the issued share capital of the Company or otherwise trigger a requirement 
for the Noteholder to make a general offer for the Company pursuant to Rule 9 of the Takeover Code. The CLNs 
will not be admitted to trading on AIM or any other exchange. 

The conversion is at the full discretion of the Company and on conversion, each new Ordinary Share will attract 
a half warrant (one warrant issued for every two CLNs converted) at the relevant conversion price valid for 12 
months from the date of issue.
