CHAIRMAN'S REPORT  

Another year of building a solid foundation for PowerHouse Energy Group, plc (PHEG) 

Fiscal year 2013, brought a number of challenges and opportunities.  By and large, each was met head-on, 
and a positive outcome was achieved on behalf of the company.   We were able to convert a number of 
previously unsettled debts into equity in the company, and several long-held disputes were resolved amicably 
and in the shareholders’ best interests.   Much of the year was spent working with the team at Pyromex, the 
creators of the Ultra High Temperature Gasification Reactor. 

By August 2013, the company had achieved its most significant milestone since the IPO- that of the 
completion of the acquisition of the 70 per cent interest in Pyromex Holding, AG, Pyromex AG, and 
Pyromex GmbH not already owned by the company.  The acquisition of the Pyromex group of companies 
has positioned us to integrate the companies into a workable whole, with each member of the team moving in 
concert with the others.  This acquisition has brought the technology completely under the control of PHEG 
and has allowed us to begin taking the necessary steps to deliver a viable commercial platform. 

By December, 2013, the successful testing and commissioning of the company’s first nominal 5 tonne per 
day unit had been completed in Switzerland and Pyromex was awarded the EU Certification verifying its  
compliance with all regulatory, safety, and environmental standards necessary for sales and operation 
throughout the European Union.   As part of the commissioning process the machine was run through the 
entire thermal cycle dozens of times- more often than would be required in an entire year’s operation- with 
very good results.   

A number of projects are being developed around the use of the nominal 5 tonne per day machine and we are 
confident that these projects will result in sales for the company.   We have hosted over 50 individuals and 
companies who have expressed interest in our system, and we continue to support these potential customers 
in their permitting and pre-project development efforts. 

One of the very attractive features of our Pyromex process is our ability to “tune” the gas composition and 
create a very high volume stream of hydrogen gas.  Due to this ability we made the decision to acquire a beta 
version of the AFC Fuel Cell- a technology that appears to be ideally suited to operate in conjunction with 
our gasification reaction.  We are planning a robust testing program with the AFC Fuel Cell when the unit is 
delivered in Q1 of next year.  We are confident that the two technologies, working in concert, will deliver 
energy from waste with an efficiency not yet seen in the market. 

A major benefit of the successful commissioning of the 5 tonne per day unit has been that we have developed 
a number of new modifications and innovations that we will be integrating into our 25 tonne per day plant in 
Eitting, Germany.  These innovations have dramatically improved the operational efficiency and 
maintenance ability of the plant.  We look forward to implementing these enhancements in our Eitting 
facility this next year. 

Our current focus is to build out the commercial capabilities of the company and begin rolling out sales and 
revenues based on our core technology.   There are over 130 companies operating in the Waste to Energy 
space, each with its own claims. However, we believe that we have created the most environmentally 
friendly, economically efficient, modular system available on the market today.  We are enjoying inquiries 
from Asia, India, the United States, South America and, of course, from across Europe.  We are confident 
that this next year will allow us to gain the traction necessary to begin driving the company forward. 

PHEG operations, including the completion of the acquisition of Pyromex, was funded through a 
continuation of the Hillgrove Investments Pty Ltd, (Hillgrove) Convertible Loan Agreement dated June 19 
2012 which allows Hillgrove, at its discretion, to further fund company operations as it has been doing to 
date.  Furthermore, Hillgrove has provided a Letter of Support to ensure that the company’s debts are paid as 
and when they are due and within the normal course of business.  Finally, Hillgrove has extended the 
maturity date of the note from 8 October 2014, to 7 October 2015.

Due to the increase in operational expenses PHEG was required to assume in the wake of the acquisition of 
the Pyromex companies, Hillgrove requested, and was granted, a fixed and floating charge (debenture) over 
the assets of PHEG, including all shares of Pyromex Holding, AG, on 24 February 2014. 

The company has continued to operate with a very lean approach to the business as we better understand our 
customers’ needs and how our technology and platform solve the significant challenges inherent in carbon-
neutral waste destruction and green-energy generation - all the while operating safely and generating only a 
minor amount of completely non-toxic, non-leaching, residue which can be perfectly utilized in the 
construction industry.     

As these are our accounts up to 31 December 2013, they do not reflect the settlement of the large debt due to  
Aspermont and other parties post year end.  However, that loan was settled at a price of less than face-value, 
and eliminated a significant distraction to management.  It was announced earlier this year that a settlement 
had been reached with Renewme to release its claimed geographical licenses to use our technology under a 
disputed royalty agreement with Pyromex and other claims against the company in return for €211,000 and 
the issue of 18,331,996 new Ordinary Shares in the Company. While the equity portion of that settlement has 
been satisfied, the cash payment has not been settled and the agreement has not been completed.  We remain 
in active discussion with Renewme to finalize an amicable agreement. 

The annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013 show separate accounts for both the Company and 
the Group.  The Company accounts have been presented prior to the Group accounts as the Board of Directors 
believes that this more accurately represents the ongoing position of PHEG.  

The  Group accounts  include  the  results  of the  Pyromex  group  as  PHEG  has  acquired  Pyromex  in  totality.  
However, as can been seen in the Auditor’s Report, the Pyromex accounts have not been finalized and may be 
subject to revision. Previously, due to challenges with the Pyromex technology, but subsequently resolved, the 
asset value of our 30% holding of the company was impaired, however with the completion of the nominal 5 
tonne per day unit, and several innovations in the development of the unit, applicable to our 25 TPD unit (and 
the clear path to building a 50TPD unit) further investments made during the year have not been impaired.  

The principal risks of the company are included in note 13 of the annual report.  A key risk for the Company, 
which of maintaining the cash resources necessary to operate as a going concern, has been mitigated through 
the provision of the convertible loan agreement and letter confirming its current intention to continue to provide 
financial support for the next 12 months provided by Hillgrove Investments Pty. Ltd.  

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue as a 
going concern for the foreseeable future.  Thus we continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for 
the preparation of the annual financial statements.  

The Waste to Energy market continues to grow dramatically.  We’re now wholly a part of that through our 
acquisition of the Pyromex technology.  The challenges of the future are now those of execution.  We have 
all of the parts.  We have created a solid foundation on which a robust company can be built.  It is our 
intention to create a showplace of our Eitting facility (next to the Munich Airport), and to leverage the 
tremendous demand for non-toxic, waste to energy solutions.  Ours is one of the few- no tar, no smoke, no 
ash, and no toxins.  Clean synthesis gas, and green, renewable energy from waste is the result of our process.  
We’re now positioned to begin our commercial roll-out of our technology and I look forward to reporting 
progress in the coming year. 

Sincerely, 

Keith Allaun 
Chairman

STRATEGIC REPORT 

Business review 
During the year under review the Company has continued to work with and fully develop a commercial platform 
based on the Pyromex Technology it has acquired and brought fully under PowerHouse control. During this 
year, the first commercially available 5 tonne per day (nominal) unit was manufactured.   A full review of the 
business and an indication of future developments is set out in the Chairman’s report on page 4 to 5. 

While the Company has not finalized a sale, several sales are in current negotiation, and others are expected 
based upon the significant apparent interest in visiting the facility for commercial demonstrations of the unit 
in operation. Additionally,  a re-commissioning of the  Eitting facility, based upon the newly engineered and 
design developments of the 5 TPD unit is expected in the near term.  Once operational, this unit will begin to 
produce  revenues  from  both  tipping  fees  and  electrical  generation.      Should  sales  fail  to  materialise  the 
Company will continue to receive financial support from Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited  as noted below. 

The Company loss for the year is £678,462 (2012: profit of £554,528).  Included in last year’s profit was a 
credit for the waiver of an intercompany loan of £1,109,068. 

The Company has no employees and has a board of 3 male directors.  

Principal risks and uncertainties 
The availability of funding remains a principal risk for the company. The company is dependent on continued 
financial support from Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited to maintain its minimal operational costs. 

The directors  have assumed that the RenewMe settlement (note 9) will be resolved and will  have minimal 
impact on cash flow.  

Further information Company’s principal risks are detailed in note 13 on page 19. 

Approved by the Board of Directors and signed on behalf of the Board on 30 June 2014.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT 

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 International Financial Reporting Standards, 
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; 
the strategic 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; and 
the annual report and financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable 
and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the company’s performance, 
business model and strategy.

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S  REPORT  TO  THE  MEMBERS  OF 
POWERHOUSE ENERGY GROUP PLC 

We have audited the parent company financial statements of Powerhouse Energy Group plc for the year 
ended 31 December 2013 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the 
Cash Flow Statement, the Statement of Changes in Equity 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 and to identify any 
information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge 
acquired by us in the course of performing the audit.  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 2013 and of its loss 

for the year then ended; 

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

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 
In our opinion 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 parent company financial statements. 

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 matter 
We have reported separately on the group financial statements of Powerhouse Energy Group plc for the year 
ended 31 December 2013. That report includes a disclaimer of opinion in respect of the audit evidence

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 2013 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 12 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 settlement post year end of 
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 from the signing date of these accounts. 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.  

Foreign currency translation 

1.4. 
The financial information is presented in sterling which is the Company’s functional 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 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 has no employees. 

1.7.  Operating Leases 
The Company has no operating 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. 

On 8th August 2013 the Company acquired the remaining 70 per cent of Pyromex AG. The investment is carried 
at cost less accumulated impairment.  Cost was determined using cash plus the fair value of shares issued to 
acquire the investment.  This investment is carried at cost due to the successful completion of the first unit, 
further details are set out in the Chairman’s report on pages 4 and 5. 

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.

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 held at £1 by 
recognising a further impairment in the prior year.  The investment in Pyromex AG is held at cost, due to the 
successful completion of the first unit no impairment is deemed necessary.  

2.  Administrative expenses 

Included in administrative expenses are: 

Directors’ fees  
Depreciation 
Operating leases 
Net foreign exchange loss 
Auditor’s remuneration – Company’s audit

4.  Income tax expense 

As the Company incurred a loss, no current tax is payable (2012: £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 £2,709,420 (2012: £1,678,673).

7.  Investments 

Other non-current asset consists of the investment in PowerHouse Energy, Inc and Pyromex AG. PowerHouse 
Energy, Inc. is incorporated in California in the United States of America and the Company holds 100 per cent 
of the common stock and voting rights of the subsidiary.  Pyromex AG is based in Zug, Switzerland and the 
Company holds 100 per cent of the shares and voting rights of the subsidiary.  

The original investment of 30 per cent in Pyromex AG was held in Powerhouse Energy Inc.  During the year 
to 31 December 2012 this was transferred to Powerhouse Energy Plc at a value of £1. 

During the year the company purchased the remaining 70 per cent of Pyromex AG and the Company holds 
100 per cent of the common stock and voting rights of the subsidiary.  Cost of the investments are stated at 
purchase price.  The 70 per cent is held at cost as the first unit is now functional and no impairment is deemed 
necessary.

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 EUR 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 (EUR 
800,000) due under the original settlement agreement have been recognised as a liability.

It was announced post year end that a settlement had been reached with Renewme to release its claimed 
geographical licenses to use our technology under a disputed royalty agreement with Pyromex and other 
claims against the company in return for €211,000 and the issue of 18,331,996 new Ordinary Shares in the 
Company. While the equity portion of that settlement has been satisfied, the cash payment has not been 
settled and the agreement has not been completed.  The Company is in active discussion with Renewme to 
finalize an agreement.

The Aspermont loan consists of Aspermont Ltd, Dilato Holdings Pty Ltd and Tesla Nominees Pty Ltd. These 
parties collectively provided a facility of £100,000 to the Company repayable by 18 May 2012, which incurs 
interest at a default rate of 7 per cent per month. Since the balance sheet date the Company has negotiated 
for the loan to be converted to equity.  On 2 April 2014 the Company negotiated a settlement to repay the 
loan in full by way of issue and allotment for 11,500,000 1 pence shares in the Company. 

The loan from PowerHouse Energy, Inc. was waived during the prior year.  

Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited (“Hillgrove”) has provided the Company with a convertible loan agreement 
amounting to £1,202,609 – which can be increased at Hillgrove’s option.  The loan is secured by a debenture 
over the assets of the company, repayable on 8 October 2014 and carries interest of 15 per cent per annum. 
Hillgrove has the option at any time to convert the loan in part or whole at a conversion price of 1p per share. 
Hillgrove have provided a letter of support indicating they are willing to increase the loan amount pending any 
unforeseeable or material changes to the Company’s current circumstances.

Linc  Energy  Limited  held  options  to  acquire  ordinary  shares  as  follows  up  to  a  value  of  US$6,000,000 
(£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.    The 
options expired on 29 December 2013. 

12.3.  Hillgrove 
Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited held 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.    The 
options expired on 29 December 2013. 

In addition, Hillgrove has the option at any time to convert its loan of £1,202,609  in  part  or  whole  at  a 
conversion price of 1p per share.   

12.4.  Driftwood 
On 13 July 2011, PowerHouse Energy Group plc granted 2,956,929 options over ordinary shares to Driftwood 
Capital Pty Limited (as trustee for Driftwood Capital Unit Trust) exercisable as follows: 
  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 
Kailing Wang, John Carter Brookhart and Andrew Forbes each held 833,333 options over ordinary shares at 
an exercise price of US$0.30 (£0.186) per share exercisable at any time up to 10 June 2013. These options 
expired on 10 June 2013. 

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 cover it 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 RenewMe (see note 9) is 
resolved with minimal impact on cash flows. Discussions are on-going and RenewMe seem willing to support 
the  Company.  However,  there  is  no  absolute  certainty  that  these  liabilities  will  be  settled  as  anticipated.  
Aspermont has, since the balance sheet date agreed to convert the loan balance to equity (see note 10)

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 2013 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 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 and to identify any 
information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge 
acquired by us in the course of performing the audit.  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 2013 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.

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 2013. 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 acquisition 
On 8 August 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 70% interest in Pyromex. Pyromex is accounted as 
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group. The original 30 per cent was held as an investment which had been 
impaired to nil due to the uncertainties surrounding the technology. These results show the impact of the 
acquisition of Pyromex. 

Intangible assets

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 

Foreign currency translation 

1.4. 
The financial information is presented in US dollars which is the Group’s functional currency.  

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 2013; 
 

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 
Swiss Francs 
EURO

1.3491 

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 12 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 settlement post year end of 
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 from the signing date of these accounts. 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 has no employees. 

1.8.  Operating Leases 
The Group has no operating 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.

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.

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 EUR 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 (EUR 
800,000) due under the original settlement agreement have been recognised as a liability. 

It was announced post year end that a settlement had been reached with Renewme to release its claimed 
geographical licenses to use our technology under a disputed royalty agreement with Pyromex and other 
claims against the company in return for €211,000 and the issue of 18,331,996 new Ordinary Shares in the 
Company. While the equity portion of that settlement has been satisfied, the cash payment has not been 
settled and the agreement has not been completed.  The Company is in active discussion with Renewme to 
finalize an agreement.

4.  That,  in  accordance  with  section  551  CA  2006,  the  Directors  are  generally  and  unconditionally 
authorised, and in substitution for any previous authority, to allot the equity securities, as defined in 
section  560  CA  2006,  up  to  an  aggregate  nominal  amount  of  £450,000,  such  authority,  unless 
previously revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting, to expire on 27 August 2015 or, if 
earlier, the date of the Company's next annual general meeting, except that the Directors may allot 
relevant securities pursuant to an offer or agreement made before the expiry of the authority.   

 The following resolution will be proposed as a special resolution: 

5.  That, subject to the passing of Resolution 5, under section 570 CA 2006, the Directors are authorised,

shareholders where their holdings are proportionate, as nearly as possible, to the respective 
number of ordinary shares held, or deemed to be held, by them, but subject to any exclusions 
or arrangements the Directors think necessary or expedient for the purpose of dealing with 
fractional entitlements or legal or practical problems under the laws of any territory or the 
requirements of any recognised regulatory body or stock exchange in any territory; and 

b. 

the allotment of equity securities, otherwise than in accordance with paragraph 6(a), up to a 
maximum nominal value of £450,000.
