Energiser Investments plc 
 
Energiser is an AIM quoted investing company investing predominantly in 
property operating platforms and associated assets in the self-storage, 
serviced-apartments and secured property lending sectors. 
 
Chairman's Statement 
 
I am delighted to report on the Group's Interim results for the six months to 
30 June 2017. 
 
I reported in the 2016 year end report that we maintained greater than 95% 
occupancy at the Wellingborough investment portfolio, saw the majority of the 
development loan repaid at the Kingswood, Surrey development and made great 
progress on the sourcing, analysis and negotiation of a number of potential 
transactions.  We also raised new equity. I am pleased to say that we have 
continued to make exciting progress on the current portfolio and new potential 
transactions, such as the micro self-storage opportunity as announced on 13 
June 2017. 
 
Results 
 
Energiser continues to hold the 20 residential properties at Wellingborough. 
The gross rental income from the portfolio for the six months to 30 June 2017 
was GBP82,000 (2016: GBP77,000), an increase of 6.5% over the previous year. The 
net rental income, after relevant operating costs, increased 10.2% to GBP65,000 
(2016: GBP59,000).  Energiser's administrative expenses have increased to GBP 
109,000 (2016: GBP35,000) for the half year, predominantly due to the effect of 
engaging our Chief Executive, Dominic White in October 2016 and further 
increases due to being a listed company.  The loss before taxation improved to 
GBP81,000 (2016: GBP161,000) with loss per share of 0.07p (2016: 0.32p).  Net 
assets have increased to GBP1,804,000 (2016: GBP340,000) principally due to 
crystallising a GBP765,000 performance related fee following successful 
completion of the Kingswood development, and, the GBP1.26 million of new equity 
raised in December 2016.  This results in a 87.2% increase in net asset value 
per share to 1.46p (2016: 0.78p).  The Directors do not recommend the payment 
of a dividend. 
 
Operations 
 
The 20 residential properties in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, have 
continued to maintain their high level of occupancy at more than 95% over the 
period.  As outlined in the last report, the Directors believe that the value 
of this portfolio is reaching a ceiling and that the associated capital could 
be better invested into new opportunities.  The small size of the individual 
residential units and the strong letting history of the portfolio should be 
attractive to residential investors.  The Directors are considering a sale of 
the properties in the coming months. 
 
Energiser's investment in the development funding of 12 residential properties 
in Kingswood, Surrey has successfully completed.  The last unit was sold in the 
six months to June and all payments have been received.  The back-to-back 
funding that Energiser raised relating to this investment has also been repaid 
in full. 
 
In June, Energiser committed to an initial investment of GBP0.6m with an industry 
leading self-storage entrepreneur, Paul Fahey, to help him launch a micro 
self-storage operator.  Self-storage is a fast growing industry in the UK. 
Traditionally, self-storage facilities operate in large stores positioned on 
the edge of towns and cities.  Micro self-storage focuses on smaller facilities 
within dense urban centres and on the edge of smaller towns.  Due diligence 
relating to the acquisition of the first micro self-storage facility is 
underway.  We are in parallel working on potential corporate opportunities to 
accelerate our entry into this sector. 
 
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 has been on three areas - residential, self-storage and 
short-term property lending.  We are currently focused on ways to realise the 
equity within our Wellingborough portfolio so that it can be recycled into new 
opportunities with higher potential returns, and, the live opportunities in the 
self-storage sector. 
 
We look forward to sharing more details of Energiser's progress with 
shareholders in the coming months.

Diluted earnings per share is taken as equal to basic earnings per share as the

and therefore the effect of including share options is anti-dilutive.

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.
