("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 2021. The interim financial information document will also be available on the Company's website www.inspirit-energy.com .
Chairman's Statement:
During the reporting period, the Group continued to develop its microCHP boiler, Marine engine and Waste Hear Recovery (WHR) applications and were also in discussions with a British certification company Enertek International Ltd. Enertek International that have won several development contracts from the government (BEIS) and have gained a vast knowledge in developing backward compatible Hydrogen products such as: domestic and commercial cookers, domestic and commercial heating systems etc. They have gained the knowledge which could be very beneficial to Inspirit in developing a Hydrogen product and our existing products to make them hydrogen powered backwards compatible.
In late 2021, whilst slowly emerging from the backdrop of COVID 19 and overcoming the restrictions in supply of materials and specialised labour, the Company spent time working to refining Inspirit's Stirling technology and the specific application to the Volvo marine engine by reviewing the supply chains and detailing the product specifics with commercial partners. Inspirit also set up a workshop facility in Poland.
In February 2022, following the UK's departure from Europe, our team visited Poland to secure supply lines and personnel for the project. Our shipping agent was met with some import/export complexities in relation to shipping our equipment and components to Poland. This has caused a minor delay and we now see having the Volvo Marine application available for demonstration in Q2 of 2022.
The board will also continue to seek other opportunities that it considers will best enhance value for shareholders and will provide further updates in due course.

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 2021 were approved by the Board of Directors on 29 December 2021 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 2021 has not been reviewed or audited. The interim financial report has been approved by the Board on 29 March 2021.
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 2021.
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 2021 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 2021 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 2021, 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 £109,000 (company's loss - 6 months to 31 December 2020 £40,000; year ended 30 June 2021 - £253,000) and a basic and diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares of £0.0001 each in issue of 4,271,640,183 (31 December 2020: 2,996,232,580 - basic and diluted 3,339,326,136; 30 June 2021).
