Half Year Report

 

 

Powerhouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK technology company pioneering integrated technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy, is pleased to announce its unaudited half year report for the six months ended 30 June 2023.

 

Highlights

 

 

Management and Business Strategy

 

·      Appointment of new Non-Executive Chairman (Antony Gardner-Hillman) and three Non-Executive Directors (David Hitchcock, Tony Gale and Prof. Karol Kacprzak) with Paul Emmitt as Acting Chief Executive Officer.

·      Acquisition of the remaining portion of Engsolve shares (51.61%) to complete the 100% ownership of Engsolve and integration into the Powerhouse Group.

·      Announced new Business Strategy in the Annual Report to develop revenue streams through provision of engineering services and being actively involved in developing capital projects using project finance methodology.

 

Commercial Development

 

·      Framework Services Agreement signed with Petrofac for provision of engineering services on request.

·      Completed acquisition of 100% of the shareholding in Protos Waste to Hydrogen No1 Ltd, the special purpose vehicle for the Waste to Hydrogen development at Protos. PHE is managing the project and working with Petrofac to finalise details prior to procurement of plant and equipment.

·      Established representation in Northern Ireland with view to developing capital project in Ballymena.

·      Signed heads of agreement on a joint venture with Hydrogen Utopia International plc (LON: HUI) at Longford, replacing project at Lanespark, Tipperary.

·      Progressing prospects in south-east Asia and Australasia.

 

Technology and Innovation

 

·    Entered into lease and took possession of self-contained building in Bridgend, Wales for establishment of the Powerhouse Technology Centre, expected to open in Q1 2024.

·     Feedstock Testing Unit in manufacture by Mitchell Dryers to be installed in the Powerhouse Technology Centre. Anticipated operational by Q1 2024.

·      European patent on temperature control in kiln formally allowed to go forward for registration.

·    Collaboration with University of Manchester on computerised fluid dynamics and new methods of hydrogen separation from syngas.

 

Financial Performance

 

·      Revenues for the half year of £nil (H1 2022: £353k).

·      Gross Profit for period £nil (H1 2022: £79.9k).

·      £4.90m cash at bank at 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: £7.54m).

·      Placing to raise £1m before expenses on 21 August 2023, supplementing the Group's resources.

 

The Group's revenues and gross profit for the half year ended 30 June 2023 decreased compared to the same period in 2022 due to the Company changing strategy and acquiring Engsolve Ltd (Engineering Services Supplier) and Protos Waste to Hydrogen No.1 Ltd (Waste to Energy Project). These acquisitions formed part of the Company's future strategy and changed the transactions between these companies from third party supplies and third party sales to intragroup transactions which were therefore eliminated from the consolidation.

 

 

Statement from Tony Gardner-Hillman, Non-Executive Chairman of Powerhouse Energy Group Plc

 

"PHE took a major step forward in 2023 with a new business strategy and a new board to deliver it whose members have committed to the Company and are expanding its activities to secure its future. I welcome David Hitchcock, Tony Gale and Karol Kacprzak as new board members and thank Paul Emmitt and Hugh McAlister for their ongoing support. I also welcome the Engsolve team and look forward to the positive contribution they will make to PHE. Keith Riley has just announced his resignation from the board and as Acting CEO. My thanks to Keith were set out in the Company's announcement on that topic on 06 September 2023.

The profit and loss statement in this half year report does not, in my view, reflect the true trading potential of the Company. Following the acquisition of the Protos SPV, the revenues reported last year in servicing the Protos project have now been internalised, and so are reported as a cost. Meanwhile the acquisition of Engsolve occurred late in the period, so minimal benefit from Engsolve revenues is recognised in these accounts.

Good progress has been made on the development of the Powerhouse Technology Centre. The board held its July board meeting there. The building is now ready, and the Feedstock Testing Unit is well into manufacture. I look forward to the Centre being operational early next year and believe it will become a cornerstone in PHE's ability to promote its technology and know-how. The Centre will also help to support the Company's investments in capital projects, which are now moving forward in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as well as Protos. Considerable interest in PHE's offering is also being expressed in south-east Asia and Australia.

There is much work to be done. We need to ensure the integration of Engsolve, and PHE must grow its presence in the provision of engineering services as well getting other commercial projects underway. The changes implemented during the first half of this year will enable this to happen. We look forward to updating investors on our progress as we continue through the year."

Notes (forming part of the half year Group financial information)

 

1.       Summary of significant accounting policies

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

 

1.1.       Basis of preparation

This half year consolidated financial information is for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Statements". The accounting policies applied are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted for use in the United Kingdom and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS (except as otherwise stated). The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the half year financial information are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half year reporting period (save that, as mentioned above, prior year comparative figures are non-consolidated, with the Group only coming to effect in 2023) and with those expected to be applied for the year ending 31 December 2023.

 

The Group does not consider any new and amended standards that became applicable for the current reporting period to have any impact on the Groups results.

 

The unaudited results for period ended 30 June 2023 do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative figures for the period ended 31 December 2022 for the Company are extracted from the audited financial statements which contained an unqualified audit report and did not contain statements under Sections 498 to 502 of the Companies Act 2006.

 

This half year financial statement will be, in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies, available shortly on the Company's website.

 

As the Group did not come into existence until the current period it should be noted that comparatives are for Company only. Details on types of investment are in Note 1.4 below.

 

1.2.       Going concern

The Directors have considered all available information about future events when considering going concern. The Directors have prepared and reviewed cash flow forecasts for 12 months following the date of these Financial Statements. The projections show that the Group will have sufficient funding to be able to continue as a going concern on the basis of its cash balances as at 30 June 2023. 

 

The half year financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern.

 

1.3.       Functional and presentational currency

This half year financial information is presented in £ sterling which is the Group's functional currency.

 

1.4.       Fixed asset investments

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.

 

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the Company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.

 

Entities in which the Company has a long-term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.

 

1.5.       Revenue

The Group provides engineering services for the application of the DMG technology, the intellectual property that the Group owns. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided to the extent to which the customer receives the benefits. This is determined based on the actual labour hours spent relative to the total expected labour hours.

 

Where a contract includes multiple performance obligations as specified by the work scope, the transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated expected cost-plus margin.

 

Estimates of revenues, costs, or extent of progress toward completion of services are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management.

 

In the case of fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered by the Group exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contact liability is recognised.

 

If a contract includes an hourly fee, revenue is recognised in the amount to which the Group has a right to invoice.  

 

2.     FAIR VALUE GAIN ON EQUITY INVESTMENT

 

On 12 August 2021, the Company acquired a 48.39% interest in Engsolve Limited, an engineering consultancy company incorporated and operating in England and Wales. On 21 June 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the balance of the issued share capital of Engsolve (51.61%). The previous shareholding in Engsolve (48.39%) was subsequently revalued leading to a fair value gain of £282,150 on the original shareholding. Please refer to note 8 below.

 

 

3.     impairment of INTER Company loans & transactions

 

Prior to December 2022 the Company entered into transactions with Protos to provide funding via a loan facility with the balance at 31 December of £2,159,274 and also made sales to Protos of £986,392. It was determined by the Company on 31 December 2022 that these amounts were no longer recoverable and were therefore written off within the Company. The write off of the loan facilities has been recognised against capitalised development expenditure in the sum of £2,692,649. The remaining £453,017 has been written off to the profit and loss account in the consolidated financial statements. This write off was to reflect the impairment of the transactions with the understanding of the fact that the impairment maybe unwound should Protos achieve sufficient results to be able to repay the loan and sales.

The deferred shares have no voting rights and do not carry any entitlement to attend general meetings of the Company. They carry only a right to participate in any return of capital once an amount of £100 has been paid in respect of each ordinary share.
