CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
2012 has been a challenging and difficult year for the Group, for the directors and for the shareholders of
PowerHouse Energy Group plc (“PowerHouse”). However, as we close the books on the 2012 financial year
we also can see several positive outcomes and encouraging signs emerging.
On 10 October 2012 AIM agreed to a lifting of the suspension in the trading of the Company’s shares. Re-
establishing ourselves as a viably listed company on the AIM was a significant accomplishment. However, it
was only a single step toward our longer-term goals. Our intention is to establish PowerHouse as a pre-
eminent provider of commercial, community-scale, Waste to Energy solutions globally.
A rapidly growing market opportunity exists to recover energy, in a fully sustainable manner, from the
existing commercial and residential waste stream. Projects are continuing to be developed, worldwide, on a
massive scale to leverage this renewable source of energy. We have committed ourselves to the
development of a best-of-breed commercial platform on which to base projects of both small and large
magnitude.
To that end, working in conjunction with industry experts, we have engaged in a broad evaluation of both
existing and emerging technologies and products that would serve as the cornerstone to a commercial
platform. We have evaluated and conducted due diligence on a number of companies. While we have
decided against pursuing relationships with most of our targets, our explorations have underscored that
there is still potential value in our 30% ownership stake in Pyromex Holdings, A.G. (“Pyromex”) and that its
patented Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) gasification process may hold a unique opportunity for us to work in
parallel with their efforts and develop a fully executed, and commercially viable, suite of offerings.
PowerHouse has a license in place with Pyromex and has the rights to manufacture the UHT reactor and
integrate it into our commercial offerings. Having recently worked very closely with the Pyromex team, it has
become clear where the stumbling blocks of the past lay, and we are now prepared to work around those.
Significant, recent, advances in engineering, by a number of resources, including the Powerhouse Energy
team, have resulted in an extremely promising near-term prospect for a commercial system that can deliver
syngas which can readily, efficiently, and economically be converted into electricity. We’re confident that
based upon the added process engineering, project management, and commercial expertise that we are
building into Powerhouse, we finally will be able to drive forward and move the “science experiment”
aggressively into the commercial realm. Renewable energy is the future. Even as additional stores of fossil
fuels are discovered, the mandate of mankind is clear: Energy must become cleaner and it must be
sustainable. The UHT reactor can become a key component in this process. Generating only Syngas and a
minute amount of non-leachable, non-toxic “sand”, the effectively emission free (no smoke, no NOx, no
odour, no noxious waste at all) unit represents a key building-block to delivering low cost, clean electricity;
ultra-pure synthetic fuels; pure hydrogen streams for the use in Hydrogen Fuel Cell applications. Syngas is
created efficiently, in a cost-effective manner and in abundance- all from waste. By diverting and gasifying
only 5% of the plastic material that goes to landfill after recycle sorting, thousands of homes can be
provided with clean electricity. The opportunity is growing. Awareness is growing. The market is growing.
And we, and our partners, are poised to take advantage of it.
To get there still requires tremendous effort. However, measures have been taken to ensure that we are on
our way.
During the latter half of the year we have managed to settle a number of outstanding liabilities that had
previously put the Company at risk. We have subsequently progressed additional settlement negotiations
and are confident in reaching reasonable outcomes for the Company and its shareholders - in fact turning
once adversarial relationships into productive partnerships.
In line with our annual accounts of 2011, the annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012 show
separate statements for both the Company and the Group. The Company financial statements have been
presented prior to the Group financial statements as the Board of Directors believes the Company accounts
more accurately represent the on-going position of the Group.
4 | Page
The Company accounts reflect a decrease in net liabilities of £625,579, mainly as a result of a waiver of the
loan with its subsidiary to £nil. Administrative costs have been reduced from £2,045,178 in 2011 to £354,571
as a result of focused management and only incurring absolutely necessary costs. The Group accounts show
the expiry of the Pyromex option (see 2012 interim Chairman report for further details) and the result of
Pyromex no longer being consolidated. Additionally, the Group accounts show the settlement agreements
with former employees.
The financial support received from Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited (“Hillgrove”) has been a lifeline to the
Company that has afforded us the opportunity to emerge from our trading suspension and allowed
Powerhouse to continue to develop our business, which we have been doing pro-actively. Hillgrove
continues to provide financial support for the Company under the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement
dated 8 October 2012. On 28 June 2013, Hillgrove agreed to amend the repayment date of the previous
Convertible Loan note, provided to the Company on 19 June 2012, to 8 October 2014. Details of the loan are
included in note 10 to the Company accounts. This additional support from Hillgrove is sufficient for the
Company to meets its operational obligations for the next 12 months.
The most pressing challenges facing the Company include resolution to the existing licensing agreement with
RenewMe (see note 9 of the Company accounts), resolution to the Aspermont loan (see note 10 of the
Company accounts.) and final resolution to any issues outstanding regarding Powerhouse Energy, Inc.
Active and productive negotiations are underway to resolve any issues these challenges may represent.
Having regard for the uncertainties to the above challenges, the Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the Company and Group will have adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the
foreseeable future (refer to note 1.3 in the Company accounts). Thus we continue to adopt the going
concern basis of accounting for the preparation of the annual financial statements. However, there remain
risks to which shareholders should be aware and we have highlighted them in note 13 of the Company
accounts.
The outlook for the Waste to Energy industry is a glowing one. Seven European countries no longer allow
landfill of municipal solid waste. In addition to the EU Landfill Directive requires an additional reduction of
35% of the current biodegradable municipal waste sent to landfill by 2016, 18 countries are implementing
stringent landfill taxes immediately, driving tremendous demand for realistic, commercially viable solutions to
recover the energy value represented in the waste stream. We believe that we are building one such
solution.
As we continue to build our new team and our commercial platform continues to develop we are confident
that PowerHouse Energy Group will turn the corner to replicable success. We appreciate that this has been
a difficult year for all stakeholders of the Company and thank you for continuing to support the Company
while it prepares for the next phase of its growth.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENTS
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 are required to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and have also chosen to
prepare the parent Company financial statements under IFRSs as adopted by the EU. Under Company law
the Directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing
these financial statements, International Accounting Standard 1 requires that Directors:
properly select and apply accounting policies;
present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable,
comparable and understandable information;
provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs are
insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and
conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance; and
make an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
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 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 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.
Responsibility statement
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
the financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair
view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company and the undertakings
included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and
the management report, which is incorporated into the Directors' report, includes a fair review of the
development and performance of the business and the position of the Company and the undertakings
included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that they face.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

We have audited the parent Company financial statements of PowerHouse Energy Group plc for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the Company Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Company
Statement of Changes in Equity the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of
Cash Flows and the related notes 1 to 16. 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.
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.
Respective responsibilities of Directors and auditor
As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the Directors are responsible for the
preparation of the parent Company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the parent Company financial statements in
accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards
require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient
to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether
caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate
to the parent Company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall presentation of
the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual
report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any
apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the parent Company financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2012 and of its
profit 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.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the parent Company financial statements.
9 | Page
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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.
Other matters
We have reported separately on the Group financial statements of PowerHouse Energy Group plc for the
year ended 31 December 2012. That report includes disclaimer of opinion in respect of the audit evidence
available to us and, as a result of this, we have been unable to express an opinion on the Group financial
statements.

NOTES TO THE COMPANY ACCOUNTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered
material in relation to the financial information.
Basis of preparation
1.1.
This financial information is for the year ended 31 December 2012 and has been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adopted for use by the European Union and the
Companies Act 2006. These accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent with the prior
year.
Judgements and estimates
1.2.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts in the financial
statements. The areas involving a higher degree of judgements or complexity, or areas where assumptions
or estimates are significant to the financial statements such as the impairment of investments and going
concern are disclosed within the relevant notes.
1.3. Going concern
The Directors have considered all available information about the future events when considering going
concern. The Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts for twelve months following the date of these
accounts. The cash flow forecast assumes no further funding of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. and Pyromex by
the Company and a favourable settlement outcome to RenewMe liability (see note 9) and the Aspermont
loan (see note 10).
The convertible loan obtained from Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited (see note 10) is considered sufficient
to settle outstanding creditors, maintain the Company’s reduced overhead and other planned events for at
least the next 12 months. In addition, the Company is in receipt of a letter of intention of financial support
from Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited to ensure the Company continues to meet its obligations as they fall
due and to ensure it operates as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months. Based on this, the
Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for the preparation of the annual financial
statements.
1.4.
The financial information is presented in sterling which is the Company’s functional currency.
Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing
at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
revalued to the exchange at date of settlement or at reporting dates (as appropriate). Exchange gains and
losses resulting from such revaluations are recognised in the income statement.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within ‘administrative expenses’.
1.5. Revenue
Revenue represents the amounts (excluding VAT) derived from the supply of management and
administration services to the Company’s subsidiary, PowerHouse Energy, Inc. Revenue is recognised when
amounts fall due under the formalised contract.
1.6. Employee costs
The Company only has defined contribution pension plans and pays contributions to separately administered
pension or healthcare insurance entity on a contractual basis. The Company has no further payment
obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit
expense when they are due.
1.7. 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. Operating lease rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight line
basis over the period of the lease. The Company has no finance leases.

1.8. Finance income and expenses
Finance income and expenses are recognised as they are incurred or as a result of financial assets or
liabilities being measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. No finance expenses were
incurred in the production of a qualifying asset.
1.9. Income tax expense
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at
the balance sheet date. 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.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in these financial statements.
1.10. Plant, property and equipment
Plant, property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the cost of
acquisition or construction, including the direct cost of financing the acquisition or construction until the
asset comes into use.
Depreciation on plant, property and equipment is provided to allocate the cost less the residual value by
equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives of 3 years.
The expected useful lives and residual values of plant, property and equipment are reviewed on an annual
basis and, if necessary, changes in useful life or residual value are accounted for prospectively.
1.11. Other non-current assets
Other non-current assets represent the investment in PowerHouse Energy, Inc. The investment is carried at
cost less accumulated impairment. Cost was determined using the fair value of shares issued to acquire the
investment.
During the year the Company’s investment in PowerHouse Energy, Inc. was impaired to £1. The recoverable
amount was determined by taking the fair value of its investment in Pyromex less the fair value of known
liabilities and obligations of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. The fair value of Pyromex assumes no sales of the
Pyromex gasification units and assumes the liabilities and obligations of Pyromex exceed the value of its
assets.
1.12. Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised at fair value. Subsequently they are carried at their initial recognition value
less any impairment losses.
1.13. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits and are recognised and subsequently
carried at fair value.
1.14. Trade and other payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course
of business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.15. Loans
Loans are financial obligations arising from funding received and used to support the operational costs of the
Company. These are initially recognised at fair value. Loans are subsequently carried at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
1.16. Adoption of new and revised standards
New and revised standards adopted during the year and those standards and interpretations in issue but not
yet effective are shown in note 1.22 to the Group financial statements.
15 | Page
1.17. Impairment testing
Assets not subsequently carried at fair value are reviewed periodically for indications of impairment. On
recognition of an impairment event, the book values of the assets are compared to their recoverable
amount. In the event the recoverable amount is less that the book value, asset is reduced to the recoverable
amount and the difference recognised as an expense. The investment in PowerHouse Energy, Inc. was
reduced to £1 by recognising a further impairment in the current year.

Included in administrative expenses are:
Employee expenses and Directors’ fees
Depreciation and amortisation
Operating leases

As the Company incurred a loss, no current tax is payable (2011: £nil). In addition, there is no certainty
about future profits from which accumulated tax losses could be utilised and accordingly no deferred tax
asset has been recognised. Tax losses amount to £1,678,673 (2011: £2,939,787).

The cost of the subsidiary was determined using an issue price of 17.5 pence (the price of the Company’s
shares on re-listing after the reverse takeover) for the 273,766,456 shares issued to acquire PowerHouse
Energy, Inc.
The impairment of the subsidiary was determined by taking into account the fair value of all known assets
(including a 30% investment in Pyromex Holdings AG (“Pyromex”), and liabilities of the subsidiary. The
impairment test assumed no cash flows from the sale of the Pyromex systems by the subsidiary. An
impairment of £119,999 was recognised during the year.

RenewMe Limited had been granted exclusive rights by Pyromex to use, own, assemble and install and
operate Pyromex systems in territories also licensed to the Company’s subsidiary PowerHouse Energy, Inc.
The Company entered into a settlement agreement with RenewMe whereby the parties agreed to change
the respective exclusive rights pertaining to the Pyromex technology. Under the original settlement
agreement Powerhouse Energy, Inc. had the obligation to pay five instalments of Euro 200,000 annually
beginning 30 June 2011. The Company guaranteed the obligations under the agreement of PowerHouse
Energy, Inc. As PowerHouse Energy, Inc is unable to meets its obligations, all remaining amounts (Euro
800,000) due under the original settlement agreement have been recognised as a liability. The Directors are
currently in negotiations with RenewMe to enter into a new settlement agreement, which they anticipate will
reduce the financial burden to the Company.

12.2. Linc Energy

(£3,882,741), exercisable at any time in the 30 month period following Admission (29 June 2011) at a price
equal to a 20 per cent discount to the previous 60 day volume weighted price of an ordinary share.
12.3. Hillgrove
Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited holds an option to acquire ordinary shares up to a value of US$3,000,000
(£1,941,371), exercisable at any time in the 30 month period following Admission (29 June 2011 at a price
equal to a 20 per cent discount to the previous 60 day volume weighted price of an ordinary share.

535,500 after 1 October 2013 at an exercise price of US$0.12 (£0.074) per share; and
2,421,429 after 1 April 2014 at an exercise price of US$0.21 (£0.130) per share.
12.5. Other

an exercise price of US$0.30 (£0.186) per share exercisable at any time up to 10 June 2013. These options
have expired after balance sheet date.
13. Material risks
13.1. Requirement for further funds
In assessing the going concern, the Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts for 12 months following the
date of these accounts. The cash flow forecasts assumed no further funding of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. and
Pyromex. The financial support provided by Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited is considered sufficient to
maintain the Company’s reduced overhead and other planned events. The Company is dependent on this
continued support to maintain its minimal operational costs.
In the event the Company requires other equity financing, or the conversion option in the Hillgrove loan is
exercised, remaining shareholders will be diluted.
13.2. Reliance on the Pyromex technology
As a result of technical issues identified since the Group’s investment in Pyromex technology, there has been
material reductions to the carrying values of assets previously recognised. This highlights the Company’s
dependency on its exploitation of the Pyromex technology. In the event the Pyromex technology continues
to be unproven competing technologies may capture the market targeted by the Pyromex technology
resulting in reduced returns for shareholders.
13.3. Resolution to Aspermont and RenewMe obligations
In assessing the going concern, the Directors have assumed that the obligation to Aspermont loan (see note
10) and the RenewMe settlement (see note 9) are resolved with minimal impact on cash flows. Discussions
with these parties are on-going and the parties seem willing to support the Company. However, there is no
absolute certainty that these liabilities will be settled as anticipated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
POWERHOUSE ENERGY GROUP PLC
We were engaged to audit the Group financial statements of PowerHouse Energy Group plc for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow and the related notes 1 to 16. 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.
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.
Respective responsibilities of Directors and auditor
As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the Directors are responsible for the
preparation of the Group financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our
responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the Group financial statements in accordance with
applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to
comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Because of the matter described in
the basis for disclaimer of opinion on financial statements paragraph, however, we were not able to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient
to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether
caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate
to the Group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall presentation of
the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual
report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any
apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Basis for disclaimer of opinion on financial statements
The audit evidence available to us was limited because we were unable to obtain accounting records in
respect of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. and Pyromex Holding AG. As a result of this we have been unable to
obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence concerning the state of the Group’s affairs as at 31 December
2012 and of its loss of the year then ended.
Disclaimer of opinion on financial statements
Because of the significance of the matter described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion on financial
statements paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a
basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly we do not express an opinion on the financial statements.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
Notwithstanding our disclaimer of an opinion on the financial statements, in our opinion the information
given in the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the Group financial statements are prepared is
consistent with the Group financial statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above:
we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the
purpose of our audit; and
we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.
21 | Page
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to
report to you if, in our opinion:
certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made.
Other matters
We have reported separately on the parent Company financial statements of PowerHouse Energy Group plc
for the year ended 31 December 2012. The opinion in that report is unqualified.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered
material in relation to the Group financial information.
1.1. Basis of preparation
This consolidated financial information is for the year ended 31 December 2012 and has been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adopted for use by the European
Union and the Companies Act 2006. These accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent
with those used in prior years.
1.2.
Consolidation and goodwill
Reverse takeover
On 29 June 2012, PowerHouse Energy Group plc acquired 100 per cent of the common stock holding of
PowerHouse Energy, Inc. by issuing 273,766,453 PowerHouse Energy Group plc shares to the common
stockholders of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. (“the Reverse Takeover”).
The Reverse Takeover has been treated as a reverse acquisition under IFRS3 (2008) “Business
combinations” whereby PowerHouse Energy, Inc. has been treated as the acquirer PowerHouse Energy
Group plc.
A reverse takeover reserve (included with other reserves) has been created to account for the fair value of
the consideration for the reverse acquisition and to account for the change in the equity structure from that
of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. to that of the legal holding Company, PowerHouse Energy Group plc.
Pyromex loss of control
On 8 May 2012, the Company’s option to acquire the remaining 70% interest in Pyromex lapsed. Due to the
expiry of the option, Pyromex is no longer accounted for as a subsidiary of the Group. These results show
the impact of the “loss of control” of Pyromex.

Judgements and estimates
1.3.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts in the financial
statements. The areas involving a higher degree of judgements or complexity, or areas where assumptions
or estimates are significant to the financial statements such as the impairment of assets and going concern
are disclosed with the notes
1.4.
The financial information is presented in US dollars which is the Group’s functional currency.
Foreign currency translation
1.4.1. Transactions and balances in foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing
at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
revalued to the exchange at date of settlement or at reporting dates (as appropriate). Exchange gains and
losses resulting from such revaluations are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within ‘administration expenses’.
1.4.2. Consolidation
The results and financial position of Group entities with a different functional currency to the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate of 31 December 2012;
Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates over the
period of consolidation; and
the resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
The principal rates used for translation are:
British Pounds

1.5. Going concern
The Directors have considered all available information about the future events when considering going
concern. The Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts for twelve months following the date of these
accounts. The cash flow forecast assumes no further funding of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. and Pyromex by
the Company and a favourable settlement outcome to RenewMe liability (see note 9) and the Aspermont
loan (see note 10).
The convertible loan obtained from Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited (see note 10) is considered sufficient
to settle outstanding creditors, maintain the Company’s reduced overhead and other planned events for at
least the next 12 months. In addition, the Company is in receipt of a letter of intention of financial support
from Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited to ensure the Company continues to meet its obligations as they fall
due and to ensure it operates as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months. Based on this, the
Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for the preparation of the annual financial
statements.
1.6. Revenue
Revenue represents the amounts (excluding sales tax) derived from sales of power generation plus
associated services.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the risk and rewards associated with the goods has
been transferred to the purchaser. Revenue from services is recognised over the period of performance of
the services.
Employee costs
1.7.
The Group only has defined contribution plans and the Group pays contributions to separately administered
pension or healthcare insurance entity on a contractual basis. The Group has no further payment obligations
once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when
they are due.
28 | Page
1.8. 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. Operating lease rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight line
basis over the period of the lease. The Group has no finance leases.
Finance income and expenses
1.9.
Finance income and expenses are recognised as they are incurred or as a result of financial assets or
liabilities being measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. No finance expenses were
incurred in the production of a qualifying asset.
1.10. Income tax expense
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at
the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates. 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.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in these financial statements.
1.11. Goodwill
Goodwill arose on the Reverse listing and the acquisition of Pyromex and represents the excess of the
consideration transferred over the in net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less any impairment losses recognised.
1.12. Intangible assets
Intangible assets arose on the acquisition of Pyromex and include trademarks and intellectual property
related to the Pyromex technology. These were recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and are
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-
line method to allocate the fair value of the intangible assets over their estimated useful lives of 3 years.
1.13. Plant, property and equipment
Plant, property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the cost of
acquisition or construction, including the direct cost of financing the acquisition or construction until the
asset comes into use.
Depreciation on plant, property and equipment is provided to allocate the cost less the residual value by
equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives of 3 to 7 years.
An item of plant, property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss is included in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income.
1.14. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods and work in
progress comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production
overheads. It excludes borrowing costs.
1.15. Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised at fair value. Subsequently they are carried at their initial recognition value
less any impairment losses.
1.16. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.
29 | Page
1.17. Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of
certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet
date except as otherwise required by IAS 12.
A deferred tax asset is recognised where, having regard to all available evidence, it can be regarded as more
likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying
timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in these financial statements.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or
from initial recognition of an asset or liability that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting
nor taxable profit nor loss. Except, however, where an asset or a liability is initially recognised from a
business combination a deferred tax asset or liability is recognised as appropriate.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is
realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will
be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
1.18. Loans
Loans are financial obligations arising from funding received from financiers and the founding stockholders.
These were recognised at fair value, net of any transaction costs incurred. Loans are subsequently carried at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.19. Trade and other payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course
of business from suppliers. Trade payables and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.20. Common stock, share capital and share premium
Proceeds from the issue of common stock or ordinary and deferred shares have been classified as equity.
Costs directly attributable to the issue of these equity instruments are shown as a deduction, net of tax,
from the proceeds.
1.21. Share based payments
The Group has used share-based compensation, whereby the Group receives services from employees or
service providers in exchange for consideration for options in the share capital or shares of the Group. The
fair value of the services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The
total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the services received, unless
that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the fair value of the of the stock and shares issued
is used.
Non-market performance and service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options
that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over
which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

reported in these financial statements. As at the date of approval of the financial information, the following

Goodwill was recognised as the excess of the fair value of the consideration determined in accordance with
IFRS 3 accounting for reverse acquisitions over the fair value of the net liabilities acquired.
Due to the impairment of the Group’s primary intangible asset, the Pyromex technology, the entire amount
of goodwill recognised from the reverse acquisition has been impaired.
Licence agreements represent the capitalised licence fees paid by PowerHouse Energy, Inc. to Pyromex and
RenewMe for rights associated with the Pyromex technology.

14.1. RenewMe
RenewMe Limited had been granted exclusive rights by Pyromex to use, own, assemble and install and
operate Pyromex systems in territories also licensed to the Company’s subsidiary PowerHouse Energy, Inc.
The Company entered into a settlement agreement with RenewMe whereby the parties agreed to change
the respective exclusive rights pertaining to the Pyromex technology. Under the original settlement
agreement Powerhouse Energy, Inc. had the obligation to pay five instalments of Euro 200,000 annually
beginning 30 June 2011. The Company guaranteed the obligations under the agreement of PowerHouse
Energy, Inc. As PowerHouse Energy, Inc is unable to meets its obligations, all remaining amounts (Euro
800,000) due under the original settlement agreement have been recognised as a liability. The Directors are
currently in negotiations with RenewMe to enter into a new settlement agreement, which they anticipate will
reduce the financial burden to the Company.
15. Seasonality
The Group’s business is not subject to any consistent seasonal fluctuations.
16. Post balance sheet events and contingent liabilities
On 28 June 2013 Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited, provided a letter of intent indicating that pursuant to
the terms of the convertible loan agreement (see note 10) which allows for an increase of the amount
loaned at Hillgrove’s sole discretion, to continue to provide adequate financial support to the Company to
ensure the Company may meet its obligations as they fall due and to ensure it operates as a going concern
for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the letter pending any unforeseeable or material
changes to the Company’s current circumstances.
Additionally, Hillgrove extended the repayment date of the note from its originally scheduled repayment date
of 17 June 2014 to 8 October 2014.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
The Notice of Annual General Meeting to which this Proxy Form relates and the Report and Accounts are available on the Company’s website at www.powerhouseenergy.net
NOTES TO THE PROXY FORM
1
As a member of the company you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Company. You can only appoint a proxy using the
procedures set out in these notes.
Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will
automatically be terminated.
A proxy does not need to be a member of the company but must attend the meeting to represent you. To appoint as your proxy a person other than the chairman of the meeting, insert their full name in
the box. If you sign and return this proxy form with no name inserted in the box, the chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the
chairman, you are responsible for ensuring that they attend the meeting and are aware of your voting intentions. If you wish your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint
someone other than the chairman and give them the relevant instructions directly.
You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one
share. To appoint more than one proxy, you must complete a separate proxy form for each proxy and specify against the proxy's name the number of shares over which the proxy has rights. If you are in
any doubt as to the procedure to be followed for the purpose of appointing more than one proxy you must contact the Company's registrars, Neville Registrars Limited at Neville House, 18 Laurel Lane,
Halesowen, West Midlands, B63 3DA. If you fail to specify the number of shares to which each proxy relates, or specify a number of shares greater than that held by you on the record date, proxy
appointments will be invalid.
To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions mark the approximate box with an “X”. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his discretion. Your proxy will vote
(or abstain from voting) as he thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.
To appoint a proxy using this form, the form must be: completed and signed; sent or delivered to the Company's registrars, Neville Registrars Limited at Neville House, 18 Laurel Lane, Halesowen, West
Midlands, B63 3DA and received by the Company's registrars no later than 10.00 a.m. on 4 September 2013.
In the case of a member which is a company, this proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney 7 for the company.
Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.
In the case of joint holders of shares, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder (being the first named holder in
respect of the shares in the company's register of members) will be accepted.
CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by using the CREST electronic appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. To be valid, the appropriate
CREST message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instructions given to a previously appointed proxy, must be transmitted so as to be received by
our agent (ID: 7RA11) by 10.00 a.m. on 4 September 2013. See the notes to the notice of meeting for further information on proxy appointment through CREST.
All shareholders who wish to attend and vote at the meeting must be entered on the Company's register of members no later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting. Changes to entries on the
relevant register of securities after that time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
For details of how to change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy appointment see the notes to the notice of meeting.
Please complete and return to: Neville Registrars Limited, Neville House, 18 Laurel Lane, Halesowen, West Midlands, B63 3DA.
