("Inspirit Energy", the "Group" or the "Company")
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 2017.
Chairman's Statement:
During the period, the Group has continued working to advance
its microCHP boiler (the "Inspirit Charger") towards
commercialisation. The improvements to the design announced last
year of the Group's Stirling engine technology, including
simplification as part of the 'design for manufacture' ("DFM")
process, has encouragingly maintained the peak electrical output up
to 3.2kW in internal tests.
The engineering department has throughout the last period made
significant developments in our regenerator technology. The
increased efficiency in the regenerator will allow the Stirling
engine to be manufactured from a commodity grade stainless steel
derivative, which is both stronger and cheaper to manufacture than
the previous proprietary "Inconel" materials.
The DFM process continues to yield several engineering
improvements and manufacturing cost reductions whilst others are
still expected. Whilst this DFM process remains ongoing, the Group
is now looking to proceed to the certification process whereby the
Inspirit Charger will be subjected to testing by a competent
authority. Once this has been achieved, we can then look towards
commencing field trails with commercial partners. The Company will
update investors as these milestones are met over the forthcoming
year.
The operating board believe that the progress over the last six
months has been positive. Whilst we remain well positioned in the
microCHP boiler technology market, ongoing funding for the
development and commercialisation of our product remains a
challenge. Accordingly, we continue to manage our resources whilst
pushing forward with the product and expect this to continue in
2018.
The Board will provide further a updates in due course.
John Gunn, Chairman and CEO of Inspirit, commented,
"Last six months has seen another progressive step for the
Company with reduction in development costs and the charger unit
maintaining its output to management expectations."

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 2017 were approved by the Board of Directors on 22
December 2017 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 2017 has not been reviewed or audited. The interim
financial report has been approved by the Board on 28 March
2018.
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
2017.
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 2017
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 2017 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 nancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017, as
described in those annual nancial 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 GBP184,000 (company's loss - 6 months to 31 December 2016
- GBP215,000; year ended 30 June 2017 - GBP419,000) and a basic and
diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares of GBP0.001 each
