FINAL RESULTS FOR THE YEARED 31 DECEMBER 2016
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I am delighted to report on the Group's performance for the year ended 31 December 2016.
As part of our strategy to focus on the property sector, in October 2016 Dominic White moved from his role as Non-Executive Director to Chief Executive. Dominic has an extensive background in the real estate sector and capital markets.
During the year we maintained greater than 95% occupancy at the Wellingborough investment portfolio, saw the majority of the development loan repaid at the Kingswood, Surrey development, made great progress on the sourcing, analysis and negotiation of a number of potential transactions and raised new equity.
Results
The gross rental income from the Wellingborough investment portfolio of 20 residential properties increased to GBP160,000 (2015: GBP154,000), an uplift of 3.9% over the previous year. The net rental income, after relevant operating costs, was GBP118,000 (2015: GBP120,000). Administrative costs were GBP110,000 (2015: GBP50,000) due to the appointment of Dominic White and the resulting increase in activity. Finance costs fell to GBP208,000 (2015: GBP358,000) due to lower interest payments following the repayment of the funding for the development at Kingswood, Surrey. The loss before and after taxation was GBP211,000 (2015: GBP167,000) with a loss per share of 0.40p (2015: 0.38p).
Net assets have increased significantly to GBP1,748,000 (2015: GBP419,000) primarily due to the new equity issue in December 2016 which raised GBP1,255,000 gross of issue expenses. This results in a net asset value per share of 1.41p (2015: 0.96p). Net asset value per share is calculated by dividing the net assets of the Group by the number of ordinary shares in existence at the balance sheet date.
Operations
The 20 properties in Wellingborough are currently let and will continue to be let on short-term tenancies. The Directors have decided that following successful asset management activity, rents and values have increased such that it is timely to consider a disposal. The assets will be marketed for sale in 2017.
Our investment in the development funding of 12 residential properties in Kingswood, Surrey has now been repaid. At the year end 11 of the 12 units had been sold. The last unit was sold in April 2017 and all payments have now been received.
We successfully raised GBP1,255,000 in December 2016, ahead of our target.
The Group has continued to fully provide against its investment in EiRx Therapeutics plc, which was placed in creditors' voluntary liquidation in 2015.
Outlook
The Group's strategy is to focus on and engage in investment opportunities within the real estate sector, in particular in real estate operating companies. Our focus is on three areas - serviced-residential, self-storage and short term property lending. The over-riding theme is technology led real estate operations to deliver efficiency, scalability and transparency. We are negotiating specific opportunities in the serviced apartment and self-storage sectors and are reviewing a number of secured lending investments through our property lending subsidiary.
We look forward to sharing full details of the next Energiser investment with shareholders in 2017.

Group strategic report
for the year ended 31 December 2016
The Directors present their Strategic Report on the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Review of the business
The Company is registered as a Public Limited Company (plc). The Company's shares of 0.1p each are listed on AIM, part of the London Stock Exchange.
The Group invests in quoted and unquoted companies to achieve capital growth. The Group also holds investment properties whereby the properties are held with rental income arising from short-term lets. It also provides mezzanine finance to housebuilders.
Results and performance
The results of the Group for the year show a loss on ordinary activities before and after taxation of GBP211,000 (2015: GBP167,000). The shareholders' funds for the Group total GBP1,748,000 (2015: GBP419,000).
The performance of the rental investment during 2016 was similar to that of 2015, with greater than 95% occupancy on the rental properties. The Group had provided GBPnil funding for the development of 12 residential units in Surrey and is entitled to receive 50% of the net profit of the development, including a priority return of GBP785,000, subject to the development making sufficient profit. Since the year end, the sale of the final unit has legally completed and the Group's share of profit and cash has been received.
Business environment
The property market around Wellingborough has not seen any price inflation and therefore no uplift was recognised in the value of the investment properties.
Strategy
Energiser's strategy as an Investing Company is to invest, directly or indirectly, in quoted and unquoted companies and in the property sector to achieve capital growth in the medium term.
The Group continues to let the Wellingborough properties on short-term tenancies.
Key performance indicators ('KPIs')
The Group's KPIs are the return on project investment and the net assets position of the Group including net assets per share. These indicators are monitored by the Board and the details of performance against these are given below.
2016 2015 ------------------------------ ------------ ---------- Return on project investment GBP118,000 GBP120,000 Net assets GBP1,748,000 GBP419,000 Net assets per ordinary share 1.41p 0.96p ------------------------------ ------------ ----------
Principal risks and uncertainties
The management of the business and the nature of the Group's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The Directors have set out below the principal risks facing the business. Where possible, processes are in place to monitor and mitigate such risks. The Group operates a system of internal control and risk management in order to provide assurance that the Board is managing risk whilst achieving its business objectives. No system can fully eliminate risk and, therefore, the understanding of operational risk is central to the management process.
To enable shareholders to appreciate what the business considers are the main operational risks, they are briefly outlined below:
Potential Risk impact Strategy -------- ------------ --------------------- -------------------- Housing A fall Inability The Group market in the to realise seeks to housing maximum value ensure that market in a timely funding in the fashion provided regions Adverse effect to housebuilders in on the timing is for developments which of sales in areas the that are Group likely to operates be least affected by a decline in the housing market -------- ------------ --------------------- -------------------- Rental A decrease Detrimental The Group market in demand effect on seeks to for the Group's ensure that rental ability to tenants properties cover administration are satisfied and debt with their servicing property costs to encourage tenancy renewals and employs a reputable manager to deal with any issues and to let the properties -------- ------------ --------------------- -------------------- Interest Significant Increased The Group rates upward borrowing mitigates changes costs and any adverse in interest a detrimental exposure rates effect on to interest profit rate changes by controlling its gearing -------- ------------ --------------------- --------------------
Future developments
We have now realised the profit share related to the mezzanine funding provided to a housebuilder for the 12 unit development in Kingswood Park, Surrey. The Group will continue to focus on direct investment in the equity and debt capital of property assets. It will also look to increase its exposure to property by investing in property operating companies such as serviced-residential, serviced-storage or serviced-leisure that combine an interest in a property portfolio with an overriding operating business.
The Group intends to dispose of the Wellingborough properties in the near future.

Diluted loss per share is taken as equal to the basic loss per share as the Company's average share price during the period is lower than the exercise price of the share options and therefore the effect of including share options is anti-dilutive.
