CHAIRMAN'S REPORT 

Dear Shareholders 

Thank you for supporting PowerHouse Energy Group plc for another year.  As you are well aware, 2015 was 
a year of continued challenge as the Company has driven the development of an entirely new ultra-high 
temperature gasification technology.  Our decision to begin the design of a newly engineered technology, 
from first principals, was not taken lightly.  It was, however, the only way for the company to move forward 
with a commercially robust technology and begin to deliver on the next phase for PowerHouse.  

I realise that at times it has felt like the company was operating in “suspended animation” or was 
“hibernating” and in many regards we were.  All resources were being diverted to the development of on a 
replacement for the previous technology.   Commercial discussions have all been contingent upon the 
successful completion of the G3-UHt.  

The technical challenges inherent in developing the PowerHouse G3-UHt system, from scratch, were, at 
times, significant, however the engineering team persevered and has now completed a fully functional, 
nominal 2-5 tonne per day (tpd), system which is being demonstrated in Brisbane, Australia.  

Developing the G3 System in approximately eighteen months, while longer than originally anticipated, was a 
tremendous improvement on the time for development of previous technologies embraced by the company.   

2015 also saw the first infusion of capital to the Company sincethe Hillgrove Convertible Note.  The 
Company was able to raise approximately £230,000 in private investment in December 2015, and has 
subsequently raised another £250,000 in March of 2016.  This money has ensured that PowerHouse can 
operate independently for the foreseeable future and begin the building of its commercial team. 

We anticipate that we will be basing a portion of our business development activities in Brisbane to liaise 
with the engineering team, and to provide specific feedstock testing for potential clients.   

The Company is in active discussion with a number of potential clients who have been awaiting the 
completion of the G3-UHt.  These client operations range in size from 5 tpd to 1000 tpd and include interest 
from Sydney, the UK, the middle East, Thailand and California among others.   The Directors remain 
enthusiastic about the technology regardless of the delays we have faced, and recognize that the PHE G3-
UHt System has the potential to be one of the most robust, cost-effective, operationally efficient, and flexible 
Gasification System on the market. 

The Waste-to-Energy landscape continues to be an evolving and growing market.   Demand in the market 
for alternatives to incineration and to landfill is increasing significantly.  Landfill taxes are at an all time high 
and are expected to continue to grow, making alternatives like Ultra High Temperature Gasification very 
attractive.   While incinerator are still being approved in some geographies, deployment of this technology is 
slowing as more environmentally friendly alternatives (like the PHE G3-UHt System) are coming to market.    

The advantages of gasification are multiple.  In addition to a reduced carbon dioxide footprint compared to 
incineration, Ultra High Temperature Gasification results in no leachable residue or ash- a significant problem 
faced by other pyrolysis and lower temperature gasification systems.  Low temperature alternatives produce 
significant levels of highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic cyclic molecules.  These toxins are imbued in 
the residues and ashes of lower temperature systems and require that the ash and residue be land-filled for 
hygiene and safety.   This is not the case with the PHE approach. 

Our Ultra High Temperature Gasification is designed to completely demolecularise the waste-stream, 
detoxifies the residue, and allows us to capture and recycle components of the waste-stream like Sulfur, 
Zinc, and other minerals.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT (CONTINUED) 

Another advantage to the PHE approach to Gasification is our ability to integrate a pressure swing absorber 
(PSA) into the gas recovery system and to generate a 99.99% pure stream of Hydrogen.   The creation of  
this pure Hydrogen allowsPHE to participate in the burgeoning Hydrogen economy.   California is building a 
string of service stations between Los Angeles and San Francisco to provide alternative fuels, like Hydrogen, 
for automobiles along this “Hydrogen Corridor.”  
Additionally, Hydrogen can be compressed and transported to other sites where it may be used.   The 
Hydrogen will also be able to feed fuel cells and generate electricity at improved efficiencies to other 
alternatives in the market. 

The PowerHouse Energy Group has been engaged in commercial explorations regarding longer-term 
opportunities to own and operate entire tip and transfer operations.  These opportunities represent 
legitimate “infrastructure” for larger communities whereby our vision is to manage the collection of waste, 
the recycling and transfer of components of the waste-stream, gasification of appropriate components of the 
waste-stream, and finally the generation of electricity back to the community grid for use by consumers.    

We continue to investigate alternative methods to finance and acquire some of these larger operations 
throughout South East Asia and Australia.  We continue to build and develop third-party representative 
relationships to market and sell PHE technology and equipment throughout the EU, the United States, 
Australia, Africa, and Asia.   We have inquiries from almost every continent regarding the G3-UHt System.   

Specialized waste markets represent very large, and potentially very lucrative, markets for the use of the G3 
System.   Our ability to deal with medical, biological, and pharma waste is unparalleled.  Our system’s 
complete demolecularization capabilities allows us to manage very expensive and toxic waste-streams and to 
capture the energy value and completely detoxify the waste.  Any resultant residue is completely non-toxic, 
non-leachable, and requires no specialized disposal.  It has the consistency of talc.  

Auto Shredder Residue (ASR) is another niche market that is extremely interesting due to the cost of 
eliminating the non-recyclable components of Automobile dismantling.  Our ability to gasify the non-
recyclable organic components of the ASR allows us to convert those organics into Synthesis Gas and fuel 
electrical generation for the operation of the dismantling operations, and send the excess electricity back to 
the grid.    

Our commercial foci in 2016 will consist of opportunities in all of the above markets, both directly, and in 
support of partner relationships to successfully deploy the PHE G3 technology.   

We’re confident that construction of the first commercial facilities utilizing the PHE G3-UHt System will occur 
within the next 12 months.    It has been a long and arduous journey for the Company, and for the 
shareholders.   We’re hopeful that the finalization of the technology will begin to lead to the commercial 
results of which we’ve been confident since the advent of the Company.  

Hillgrove Investments Pty Ltd 

Hillgrove Investments Pty Ltd (Hillgrove) support has been important to the Company throughout 2015.  The 
Hillgrove Convertible Note (the Note) funded the engineering efforts that have resulted in the G3, and have 
provided additional resources for Company operations.   This support has been provided by advances under 
a convertible loan note facility dated 19 June 2012.   As at 31 December 2014, the amount owing to 
Hillgrove under the convertible loan note was £2,181,004.  As at 31 December 2015, the amount owing 
under the convertible loan note is   £2,938,636   Additionally, Hillgrove has made a commitment not to call 
the note for a period of at least one year from the publication of these financial statements.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT (CONTINUED) 

Current trading 
The beginning of 2016has been an active and tumultuous time.  Testing has been completed on the G3 and 
third party engineering verification is underway.  The Company appointed a new Nominated Advisor, WH 
Ireland.  Additionally we were able to finalise a deal with RenewMe which made them an active partner in 
the Company’s success.  We have also appointed a 3rd non-executive Director in Cliver Carver, whose 
experience in financial markets will be of tremendous value to the Company as we move forward to the next 
phase of our growth.   

The Company is on firm footing for the foreseeable future.  Cash-on-hand balance at the date of this report 
is approximately £320,000, representing approximately 17 months of company operations without requiring 
additional cash.  

Outlook 

PowerHouse Energy Group plc is poised to begin its recommencement.  We have a technology that we 
believe is unparalleled in its capability, its efficiency, its economy, its environmental contribution, and of 
which we can feel proud.   The Company has been steered through a very rough 4 years with the support of 
Hillgrove, and the conscientious advice of both Brent Fitzpatrick and James Greenstreet our non-executive 
directors.    We are confident that PowerHouse Energy Group Plc can finally meet the promise that was 
envisioned when the Company was founded.   

As always, we are continually grateful for your support.

shareholders of the Company at the Annual General Meeting to be heldon 08 September 2016. 

The  subsidiary  companies  are  currently  in  the  process  of  being  liquidated  with  the  relevant  authorities.  
While the subsidiary was closed in 2014 the consolidated accounts have been required to be prepared as the 
company still owns them at the year end.  All assets and liabilities have been impaired in these accounts and 
there is no financial recourse to the company as a result of the liquidation.  

Principal activities 
The principal activities of the Group are to maintain minimal expenditures whilst it begins to fully exploit and 
commercially  roll-out  ournewly  developed  PHE  G3-UHt  Waste-to-Energy  System.    Our  Ultra-high 
temperature  gasification  reactor  converts  waste  materials  such  as  non-recyclable  plastic,  bio-mass,  and 
other  waste  streams  into  a  high-quality,  clean,  synthesis  gas  composed  primarily  of  hydrogen  and  carbon 
monoxide.  

The newly engineered, designed, and constructed, PHE G3-UHt system is completed and in final testing.  
Demand for our new technology is increasing, with Australia, Asia, and the UK being principal drivers.

Executive Chairman 
Non-Executive Director 
Non-Executive Director 
Non-Executive Director (appointed 17 May 2016) 

Corporate Governance 
As AIM companies are not required to provide corporate governance disclosures, the Directors have chosen 
not to do so.  

Payment to suppliers 
The Group does not have a standard or code which deals specifically with the payment of suppliers.  Total 
creditor days for the Company forthe year ended 31 December 2015 were82days (2014: 121 days) and for 
the Group 82days (2014: 120days). 

Going concern basis   
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 
Financial Statements.  

The  cash  balance  held  at  31  December  2015  of  £175,750  is  sufficient  to  ensure  the  company  can  pay  its 
debts  as  they  fall  due.    A  further  fundraise  has  been  completed  post  year  end  increasing  cash  reserves. 
Based  on  this,  the  Directors  believe  it  is  appropriate  to  continue  to  adopt  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting for the preparation of the annual financial statements.  

Additionally Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited, as the holder of Convertible Loan Agreement, confirms that it 
will not seek repayment of any amounts due under the Note or Convertible Loan Agreements until at least 
12 months beyond publication of the Company’s 2015 annual financial statements.

financial statements, further explanation is available in note 1.3 of the Company financial statements.  

Auditor 
Each of the persons being a Director at the date of approval of this report confirms that: 

- 

So far as the director is aware there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditor 
is unaware; and 

-  The  Director  has  taken  all  the  steps  that  he  ought  to  have  taken  as  a  Director  in  order  to  make 
himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s auditor is aware 
of that information.  

This  confirmation  is  given,  and  should  be  interpreted,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  s.418  of  the

STRATEGIC REPORT 

Business review 
The principal activity for PowerHouse Energy Group Plc was the engineering and redevelopment of the PHE 
G3-UHt System from first principles.  During decommissioning of the former Pyromex Eiting facilities, major 
flaws were discovered in the previous designs which would lead, in our estimation, to a commercial failure 
were they to be perpetuated.  Hence the redesign and rebuilding of the G3 System from the ground up.   
We have been very encouraged by early testing and commissioning results, and final testing should be 
completed in the near future.  

Our continued enhancement and modeling of the processes have increased the efficiencies of the system 
and have allowed us to begin the pre-feasibility design and process flow of 1000+ tonne per day systems for 
infrastructure applications.     

It is anticipated that the Company will begin to actively pursue commercial opportunities upon completion of 
the testing program.  A significant number of potential customers have expressed interest in entering 
negotiations with the Company when we deem the System complete.  

Corporate Governance: 

The Company raised £250,000 in December 2015 for operating capital.  The Company raised an additional 
£250,000 in February to expand its operating capital.  

The Company has replaced its Nominated Advisor with WH Ireland. 

The Directors were granted immediately vesting options by vote of the Shareholders at the Annual General 
Meeting held, 3rd December, 2015 as follows:  

Keith Allaun, 6 Million Options at 0.75p 
Brent Fitzpatrick, 5 Million Options at 0.75p 
James Greenstreet, 4 Million Options at 0.75p 

The Company established a AIM Rule Compliance Committee in early 2016 to ensure Compliance with AIM 
regulation. 

The Company appointed Clive Carver as an additional Non-Executive Director in May of 2016.  His 
appointment will be voted upon and confirmed at the upcoming Annual General Meeting, September 8, 
2016.  

The Company loss for the  year is £781,647, (2014: lossof  £2,549,999).  Further details regarding financial 
performance are included in the Directors’ Report on page 7. 

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

Principal activities and review of developments 
The  Directors’  Report  contains  details  of  the  Company’s  principal  activities  and  a  review  of  significant 
developments. 

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. 

Further information on the Company’s principal risks is detailed in note13 on page 22. 

Approved by the Board of Directors and signed on behalf of the Board on 30 June 2016..

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 
POWERHOUSEENERGY GROUP PLC 

We have audited the parent company financial statements of Powerhouse Energy Group plc for the year 
ended 31 December 2015 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of 
Changes in Equity, the Statement of Financial position, the Statement of Cash Flowsand 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 2015 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.

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 2015and 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 withinthe 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 
Financial Statements.  

The cash balance of £175,750 at 31 December 2015 is sufficient to ensure the company can pay its debts as 
they fall due.  A further fundraise has been completed post year end increasing cash reserves. Based on this, 
the  Directors  believe  it  is  appropriate  to  continue  to  adopt  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  for  the 
preparation of the annual financial statements.  

Additionally Hillgrove Investments Pty Limited, as the holder of Convertible Loan Agreement, confirms that it 
will not seek repayment of any amounts due under the Note or Convertible Loan Agreements until at least 
12 months beyond publication of the Company’s 2015 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 rate 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 
statement. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income 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 (2014: nil). 

1.7.  Operating Leases 
The Companyhas no operating leases (2014: nil).

NOTES TO THE COMPANY ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) 

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 (2014: nil). 

1.9.  Income tax expense 
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.  

UK corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws 
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. 
Deferred tax is recognised  in respect  of all  temporary differences that have  originated but not reversed at 
the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future 
or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date.   Temporary differences are 
differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that 
arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they 
are recognised in the financial statements. 
A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only to the extent that, on the 
basis of 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 temporary differences can be deducted. 
Deferred  tax  is  measured  at  the  average  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  in  the  periods  in  which  the 
temporary  differences  are  expected  to  reverse,  based  on  tax  rates  and  laws  that  have  been  enacted  or 
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.  Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis. 

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 3years. 

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  representthe  investmentin  PowerHouse  Energy,  Inc.  The  investment  is  carried  at 
costless accumulated impairment.Cost was determined using the  fair value of shares issued to acquire the 
investment. 

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 andused to support the operational costs of the 
Company. These are initially recognised at fair value. Loansare subsequently carried at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE COMPANY ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) 

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 1.21 to the Group financial statements.  

1.17. Impairment 
(i) Impairment review 
At each balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any 
indication  that  those  assets  have  suffered  an  impairment  loss.  An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  whenever 
the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  or  its  cash  generating  unit  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  Impairment 
losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any 
goodwill allocated to  cash  generating units and then  to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in 
the  unit  on  a  pro-rata  basis.  A  cash  generating  unit  is  the  group  of  assets  identified  on  acquisition  that 
generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.  
The recoverable amount of assets or cash generating units is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present 
value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and 
the  risks  specific  to  the  asset.    For  an  asset  that  does  not  generate  largely  independent  cash  inflows,  the 
recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

(ii) Reversals of impairments 
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is 
reversed if there has been a changein the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 
An  impairment  loss  is  reversed  only  to  the  extent  that  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  does  not  exceed  the 
carrying amount that would have beendetermined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss 
had been recognised. 

2.  Administrative expenses 

Included in administrative expenses are: 

Directors’ fees 
Operating leases 
Net foreign exchange profit/(loss) 
Auditor’s remuneration –Company’s audit 
Impairment loss recognised on loans receivable carried at 
amortised cost (note 10)

4.  Income tax expense 

As  the  Company  incurred  a  loss,  no  current  tax  is  payable  (2014:  £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  £5,960,134  (2014:  £5,178,487).The  tax  charge  is  lower 
(2014: lower) than the standard rate of tax. Differences are explained below.

RenewMe Limited had been granted exclusive rights by Pyromex to use, own, assemble and install and 
operate Pyromex AG 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.  

On 3 March 2014 the Company announced 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 at the year end. 

On 29 April 2016 the Company announced that a full and final settlement had been reached with Renewme 
to  settle  the  remaining  balance  in  exchange  for  the  issue  of  90,932,961  new  Ordinary  shares.    This  will 
release  the  Company  from  any  and  all  previously  disputed  issues  with  Renewme.      Upon  issue  of  these 
shares Renewme will own 15.96% of the share capital.  

Capital commitments not accrued for at the  year end amounted to £100,000 (2014: £100,000) and related 
to plant and machinery that had not yet been received.

In assessing the going concern, the Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts for 12 months following the

and other planned events.

exercised, remaining shareholders will be diluted.

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  2015  which  comprise  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income,  the 
Consolidated  Statement  of  Changes  in  Equity,  theConsolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position,  the 
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow and the related notes 1 to16. 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 theGroup 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 
2015and 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 Group 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  theStrategic  Report  and  the  Directors’  Report  for  the  financial  year  for  which  the  Group  financial 
statements are prepared is consistent with the Groupfinancial 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  

24 | 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 matter 
We have reported separately on the parent Company financial statements of PowerHouse Energy Group plc 
for the year ended 31 December 2015. The opinion in that report is unmodified.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered 
material in relation to theGroup financial information. 

1.1. Basis of preparation 
This  consolidated  financial  information  is  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2015and  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 

Pyromex 
On 8 August 2013, the Companyacquired 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.  

During the year Pyromex AG has been formally liquidated and as such the balance sheet values held at 31 
December 2014 have been impaired to nil.  

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 rate 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’.

1.5.  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 
Financial Statements.  

The current cash balance of £175,750 is sufficient to ensure the company can pay its debts as they fall due.  
A further fundraise has been completed post year end increasing cash reserves. Based on this, the Directors 
believe it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for the preparation of the 
annual financial statements.  

Additionally Hillgrove, as the holder of Convertible Loan Agreement, confirms that it will not seek repayment 
of  any  amounts  due  under  the  Note  or  Convertible  Loan  Agreements  until  at  least  12  months  beyond 
publication of the Company’s 2015 annual accounts. 

Employee costs 

1.6. 
The group has no employees (2014: nil). 

1.7.  Operating Leases 
The Group has no operatingleases (2014: nil). 

Finance income and expenses 

1.8. 
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. 

Income tax expense 

1.9. 
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax.  

UK corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws 
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. 
Deferred tax is recognised  in respect  of all  temporary differences that have  originated but not reversed at 
the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future 
or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date.  Temporary differences are 
differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that 
arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they 
are recognised in the financial statements. 
A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only to the extent that, on the 
basis of 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 tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the 
temporary differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.  Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis. 

1.10. Goodwill 
Goodwill  arose  on  the  acquisition  of  Pyromex  and  represents  the  excess  of  the  consideration  transferred 
over  the  fair  value  of  the  net  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  acquired.  Goodwill  is 
stated at cost less any impairment losses recognised. 

1.11. Intangible assets 
Intangible  assets  arose  on  the  acquisition  of  Pyromex  and  include  trademarks  andintellectual  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.  
During the yearthe investment in Pyromex AG was impaired to a nil carrying value due to the wind down of 
operations that commenced after the balance sheet date.

NOTES  TO  THE  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 
(CONTINUED) 

1.12. Property, plant 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. 

1.13. 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.  

1.14. Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are recognised at fair value. Subsequentlythey are carried at their initial recognition value 
lessany impairment losses. 

1.15. Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.  

1.16. 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  recognisedon  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. 

1.17. Loans 
Loans are financial obligations arising  from  funding received from  financiersand the  founding stockholders. 
These wererecognised at fair value, net of any transaction costs incurred. Loans  are subsequently carried at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.18. Trade and other payables 
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course 
ofbusiness  from  suppliers.Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

1.19. Share capital and share premium 
Proceeds  from  the  issue  ofcommon  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. 

1.20. Share based payments 
The  Group  has  used  share-based  compensation,  whereby  the  Group  receives  services  from  employeesor 
service providersin 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.  

1.21. Adoption of new and revised standards 
There  have  been  no  standards  or  interpretations  that  have  been  adopted  that  have  affected  the  amounts 
reported in these financial statements. As at the date of approval of the financial information, the following 
standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:

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.  Following  the 
decision to wind down the Pyromex operation as discussed in the Directors’ Report, the Goodwill has been 
impaired to a carrying value of nil. 

Licence  agreements  represented  the  capitalised  licence  fees  paid  by  PowerHouse  Energy,  Inc.  to  Pyromex 
and RenewMe for rights associated with the Pyromex technology.

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 Group’s subsidiary PowerHouse Energy, Inc. The 
Group 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 Group 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.
