Interim Results

 

Inspirit Energy Holdings PLC (AIM: INSP), the developer of micro Combined Heat and Power (microCHP) boilers, is pleased to announce its interim accounts for the six months ended 31 December 2022. The interim financial information document will also be available on the Company's website www.inspirit-energy.com .

 

 

Chairman's Statement:

 

In the period under review our engineering team have been concluding the stage two build and testing and a number of tests have been conducted under varying scenarios, each for a duration of approximately one hour, with consistent performance with peak output reaching 97kw.

 

Stage three build and testing should be complete by the 2nd Quarter 2023, where the unit is targeted to achieve its intended peak performance of 131kW. 

 

While we have experienced minor delays, the result of extended delivery times from suppliers of key components, the Inspirit WHR unit has met all our expectations around reliability and performance.  Discussions are currently ongoing with both a major automotive group and with an alternative combustion manufacturer to potentially partner on exciting future developments relating to the Charger.  In addition, the Inspirit team is also exploring opportunities to collaborate with other automotive groups, where the potential exists to achieve the same significant performance enhancements that we have achieved to date with automotive combustions engines. 

 

The board of Inspirit has no doubt that the technology the Company has developed could have a significant impact on applications within the automotive industry where manufacturers seek to enhance performance from the recovery and electrification of waste heat. The commercial potential would seem boundless and Inspirit is extremely optimistic about the commercial prospects for the business. To the best of our understanding, we remain unique in this space at a time where manufactures of combustion engines are seeking to create more efficient engines for commercial vehicles. 

 

Furthermore, the industrial sector is another requiring urgent solutions for waste recovery technologies where Inspirit could really apply its WHR technology. The general consensus is that the world needs to decarbonise low temperature industrial waste heat to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emission targets. Industrial waste heat production represents an opportunity for reduction in the use of fossil fuels. Energy inefficient processes in addition to increased emissions raises the cost of plant operation, -an undesirable scenario for both industrial competitiveness and the environment. The quantity and potential applications for recovered low temperature industrial waste heat and the quantification and

characterisation of the resource could provide the needed impetus for the development and adoption of green technologies to help achieve the 2050 Net-Zero target.  Significant opportunities exist in this low temperature range for waste heat recovery actions at individual sites. Research and Development (R&D) into alternative improved methods for waste heat recovery, storage, and use technologies could also produce significant positive environmental and industrial impact.

INSPIRIT ENERGY HOLDINGS PLC

 

Consolidated Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

1.  General Information

 

  The principal activity of Inspirit Energy Holdings PLC ("the Company") during the period was that of an investment company which aims to invest in disruptive products or technologies that are either proven or at the later stages of development, which own or have exclusive licence to the relevant intellectual property.

 

  Inspirit Energy Holdings PLC is a company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales and quoted on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. The address of its registered office is 200 Aldersgate Street, London EC1A 4HD, United Kingdom.

 

2.  Basis of Preparation

 

The interim financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006.  It has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Statutory financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 were approved by the Board of Directors on 5 January 2023 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.

 

The interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2022 has not been reviewed or audited.  The interim financial report has been approved by the Board on 30 March 2023.

 

Going concern

 

The Directors, having made appropriate enquiries, consider that adequate resources exist for the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that, therefore, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2022.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Board continuously assesses and monitors the key risks of the business. The key risks that could affect the Company's medium-term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in the Company's 2022 Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is available on the Company's website: www.inspirit-energy.com. The key financial risks are liquidity and credit risk.

 

Critical accounting estimates

 

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates are set out in note 2 of the Company's 2022 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period.

 

 

3.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

  The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022, as described in those annual financial statements.

 

4.  Segmental Analysis

 

The Company's primary reporting format is business segments and its secondary format is geographical segments. The Company only operates in a single business and geographical segment. Accordingly, no segmental information for business segment or geographical segment is required.

 

5.   Loss per Share

 

The loss per ordinary share is based on the Group's loss for the period of £143,000 (company's loss - 6 months to 31 December 2021 £109,000; year ended 30 June 2022 - £233,000) and a basic and diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares of £0.0001 each in issue of 4,271,640,183 (same for 31 December 2021and  30 June 2022).
