("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 2023. 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 concluded stage three out of four on the
electronic updates on the Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) system. The
team are aiming to complete stage four over the next few weeks.
They will then continue to carry out longevity testing of the WHR
system. The company is still on track to complete this task on the
projected timeline between mid to end of the 2nd quarter of 2024 as
per our previous announcement. On completion of the WHR system, the
unit is targeted to achieve its intended peak performance of
131kW.
The team have also between from late
December 2023 and March 2024 started the process of relocating back
to the United Kingdom and will seek appropriate premises to enable
completion of the final stages of development and provide a base to
exhibit the technology to prospective broad range of
clients.
Also as previously announced,
discussions are still 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.
The board will provide further
updates in due course.

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 2023 were approved by the Board of Directors
on 22 December 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 2023 has not been reviewed or
audited. The interim financial report has been approved by
the Board on 27 March 2024.
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 2023.
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 2023 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 2023 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 2023, 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 £149,000 (company's loss - 6 months
to 31 December 2022 £143,000; year ended 30 June 2023 - £260,000)
and a basic number of ordinary shares of £0.0001 each in issue of
6,287,190,896 (4,271,640,186 for 31 December 2022 and
4,271,640,186 for 30 June 2022).
