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.

financial report has been approved for issue by the Board of
Directors on 30 September 2016.
The financial information set out in this half-yearly financial
report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in
Sections 434(3) and 435(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's
statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015
have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and are available

2. Basis of preparation
This consolidated half-yearly financial report has been prepared

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.

average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of
