Energiser Investments plc

Consolidated unaudited half-yearly financial report for the period ended 30 June 2016

Interim Chairman's Statement

I am delighted to report on the Group's Interim results for the six months to 30 June 2016.

I reported in the year end December 2015 report that we are consolidating our focus into the property sector and welcomed Dominic White to the Board as a Non-executive Director. I am pleased to say that we have made exciting progress on a number of property transactions and expect to announce our next investment in the coming months.

Given the additional work that sourcing, negotiating, closing and managing new investments brings, we are pleased to announce that Dominic has accepted an executive position at Energiser and is now the Chief Executive Officer. He will drive the growth of the company going forwards. We're excited by the pipeline of opportunities already under consideration and look forwards to a busy and successful period for the company.

Results

Energiser continues to hold the 20 residential properties at Wellingborough. The gross rental income from the portfolio was GBP77,000 (2015: GBP72,000), an increase of 5% over the previous year. The net rental income, after relevant operating costs, was GBP60,000 (2015: GBP54,000).

Energiser's administrative expenses have increased to GBP35,000 (2015: GBP25,000) for the half year.

The loss before taxation was GBP161,000 (2015 profit: GBP20,000) with a loss per share of 0.32p (2015: profit 0.04p). We have further profit to realise from the mezzanine financing for the development at Kingswood Park, Surrey but under accounting rules we cannot recognise these profits in the profit and loss account until the last unit has been sold.

Net assets have decreased to GBP340,000 (2015: GBP422,000) primarily due to higher than expected finance costs. These were incurred as the term of our borrowing facilities had to be increased as a result of delays in the repayment of the mezzanine loan by the housebuilder referred to below. This results in a net asset value per share of 0.78p (2015: 0.96p).

The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.

Operations

The 20 residential properties in Wellingborough, Northants, have maintained their high historic occupational level at more than 96% average occupancy over the period. We will carefully consider whether the capital currently allocated to these assets can be better deployed into more dynamic investments in the coming six months.

Our investment in the development of 12 residential properties in Kingswood Park, Surrey by a housebuilder is almost complete. The investment is by way of mezzanine funding to the housebuilder. 11 of the 12 properties have been sold and legally completed. The senior lender on this development has been repaid in full. The Group is expecting to receive all its priority return of GBP785,000.

The Group has continued to fully provide against its investment in EiRx Therapeutics plc, which was placed in creditors' voluntary liquidation.

The company has launched an updated web site at www.energiserinvestments.co.uk as a tool for investors and potential partners to understand more about our future focus and historic transactions.

Outlook

Energiser's strategy as an Investment Company is to invest, directly or indirectly, in quoted and unquoted companies in the property sector to achieve capital growth in the mediumterm.

The Group's investment tactics are to focus on the European property sector and it currently holds investment properties, acquired by way of its principal activity: it has invested directly in residential property development by way of both equity stakes and high yield short term lending. The Company does not have a specific policy in relation to gearing its investments but recognises that the nature of its investment sector lends itself well to geared investments.

Energiser 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 over-riding operating business. We believe that the diversified revenue streams available from certain property operating businesses are an exciting and innovative way to drive growth and shareholder value.

With so much activity in progress at Energiser, I look forwards to our next update in 2017.

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

The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and are available at www.energiserinvestments.co.uk.

Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Fair value of profit on mezzanine funding arrangement

The fair value of the mezzanine funding arrangement includes estimates as to the timing and value of future cash flows and the underlying profitability of the development. The estimates are formed based on information provided by the developer. The Group believes that the directors' knowledge and experience in the sector means they are well placed to critically assess this information and to make conclusions as appropriate.

4. Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share

The earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of 43,787,956 ordinary shares of 0.1p (2015: 43,787,956 ordinary shares of 0.1p) and the following figures:

-----------------------------------------------------------  ----------  ----------  ---------- 
 

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