Chairman's statement

for the year ended 31 December 2013

In this report we comment on the financial performance of the Group, explain the funding position and give the current situation as regards the assets held. Despite the changes in personnel the Board remains committed to the previously declared strategy, whereby assets will be developed to improve the prospect of sale of value being obtained for shareholders. Following any sale of assets the net funds will be returned to shareholders.

Financial Performance

The loss for the year was £1.6m compared to a loss of £6.9m in 2012 which included a write down and losses in respect of Carnegie Wave Energy Limited amounting to £4.8m. The reduced loss in 2013 was also due to a fall in 'Administrative expenses' of £0.7m, the running rate of which reduced significantly in the second half of the year although this was offset by higher interest costs of £0.25m.

Funding

As previously reported the Group has two loan facilities with Utilico Investments Limited ("Utilico", its largest shareholder with 28.7% of the equity). The initial facility of £2.5m is fully utilised and bears interest at 15% per annum. The total amount of interest owed is currently approximately £ 1.323 million.  The second facility of £3.25m is being used to finance expenditure incurred in completing the Welsh wind farm project, maintaining the status of the Polish wind farm project and corporate overhead. Interest is at 10% per annum with a success fee linked to the value achieved from the Welsh project.  £2.453 million has been drawn from this facility to date. As announced in December last year Utilico have waived their conversion rights which were granted under the terms of the initial facility. It was agreed with Utilico on 24 June 2014 that the maturity date for the initial facility be extended to 31st July 2015 from 31 December 2014. Utilico is deemed to be a related party under the Aim Rules for Companies.  Clive Callister, the independent director on the board of the Company, considers, having consulted with Strand Hanson that this extension of the repayment date is fair and reasonable so far as shareholders are concerned.   Given the likely timescale of the Welsh wind farm planning process (possibly 15 months from acceptance of the application) a further extension will be requested at the appropriate time.

Wales

During 2013 work continued on the 'Application for an Order granting Development Consent' (Planning Application) for an 81MW wind farm in mid Wales. Most of the year was taken up satisfying requests for extra work and information by some of the Statutory Consultees. The final application is the culmination of several years of detailed work and now covers more than 2000 pages. That work has been completed and the application for development consent was formally submitted on 24 April 2014. However following the Planning Inspectorate's (PINS) advice the application has been withdrawn to make some procedural and technical changes to the draft Development Consent Order and to re-arrange the information presented in the consultation report (amongst other minor changes). The revised application will be resubmitted within weeks, following which the Authority will decide within 28 days whether the application will be accepted for examination. At that stage we will be making a formal announcement. Whilst there is a degree of frustration, we are encouraged that the issues raised are mainly procedural in nature. For more information on the process and the latest status of the project see the Planning Inspectorate websitehttp://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/

Poland

The Group has planning consent for a 30MW wind farm at Kobylany, Poland. As previously reported the Group is looking for a buyer or joint developer, but the long running uncertainty over the Polish government's policy towards "green" energy has meant there has been no progress. Recent announcements by the Polish Energy Minister appear to have temporarily rekindled the Polish market, albeit likely for a brief period. Attempts to achieve a sale will continue, but in the meanwhile ongoing expenditure is severely restricted given the overall uncertainty in this market and the limited cash resources available.

Carnegie Wave Energy Limited (Carnegie)

The Group's holding of 101,241,613 shares in Carnegie is unchanged from December 2012 but following Carnegie Wave Energy Limited (Carnegie)

The Group's holding of 101,241,613 shares in Carnegie is unchanged from December 2012 but following rounds of capital raising it is now 5.9% of their equity assuming conversion of outstanding loans. The equivalent percentage at December 2012 was 6.8%. Carnegie is currently trialling a fifth version of the technology (CETO 5) and fund raising for a further model (CETO 6) is well advanced.

A recent Carnegie presentation gave 2018 as being the earliest date for commercial exploitation of the technology. Previously the Board had indicated that it will consider "in specie" distribution of the Carnegie shares. At the present time the shares form part of the security held by Utilico for the loans extended to the Group so any distribution would only be possible once repayment has been made.

Board Changes

On 15th November Roger Harper stepped down from the Board and was replaced as Chairman by David Weir. We would like to thank Roger for his 3 years of service and for his help during a period of considerable change for the Group.

Notes forming part of the financial statements

for the year ended 31 December 2013

1 Acquisition of Mynydd Y Gwynt Limited

During 2011, the Group paid £2,000 for 2,000 "A" preference shares of Mynydd Y Gwynt Limited ("MYG"). MYG has the right to the land leases at the proposed 81 MW Mynydd y Gwynt wind farm and is responsible for the related planning application. MYG also has 1,000 ordinary shares in issue owned by its founders.

The Group controls MYG due to it owning over 50% of the voting rights and having the power to appoint the majority of the board of directors. In addition, an "A" preference shareholder has to be present for quorum to exist. The "A" preference shares are not entitled to participate in the profits of MYG and therefore the "A" preference shares are not classified as equity resulting in the non-controlling interest being 100% of MYG. MYG has been consolidated from 24 November 2011, the date the Group achieved control.

MYG's assets and liabilities have been recognised in the Group's Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The non-controlling interest in MYG has been recognised at the fair value of the non-controlling interests proportionate share of identifiable net assets. As all expenditure of MYG has been capitalised into property, plant and equipment, there is no profit or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest. 

Under the terms of an existing agreement between the Group and the ordinary shareholders of MYG for which the Group paid £750,000 included in "other receivables and prepayments", the Group has the option to acquire the ordinary shares of MYG once MYG achieves planning permission.

Upon exercising the option, £225,000 per MW is payable to the ordinary shareholders of MYG. Under the terms of the agreement, these ordinary shares will be acquired by the Group on payment of the consideration. This amount is included within "Trade and other receivables" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Prior to the Group gaining control over Mynydd Y Gwynt, Mynydd Y Gwynt's working capital requirements of up to £500,000 were funded by Howard Evans, an original shareholder. This amount is repayable and contingent on receiving planning consent for the Mynydd Y Gwynt wind farm (and will be settled from the consideration paid to the original shareholders).  The board expects this to occur in 2015 and therefore this is classified within non-current liabilities.

Total share options in issue (see note 22)

The share options and convertible debt (see note 19) in issue have not been included in the calculation of diluted EPS because their exercise price is greater than the weighted average share price during the year and therefore their effect would be anti-dilutive. As a result there is no difference between the basic and the diluted loss per share for the periods presented.



10 Parent company results for the year

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under Part 1 section 3(5) of the Isle of Man Companies Act 1982 and has not presented its own Income Statement in these Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Group loss for the year includes a loss for the Company of £1,526,000 (2012: loss £7,202,000).

In 2009 the Group sold its CETO intellectual property for consideration of 232,600,000 shares in Carnegie Wave Energy Limited ("CWE"), a company incorporated in Australia.

The principal activity of CWE is the development of the CETO wave technology. Further details can be found on CWE's website, www.carnegiewave.com.

The 100% owned subsidiary, REH Intellectual Property Limited, held 31,240,613 of CWE shares with the remaining 201,359,387 shares being held by Renewable Energy Holdings plc. The shares were issued on 23 December 2009 and under Australian Stock Exchange rules the shares were restricted for 12 months from the date of issue. The restriction was reflected in the fair value of the consideration by valuing a put option to sell the Carnegie shares in twelve months and deducting this value from the market price of the shares at the date of sale. The fair value of the shares at acquisition was deemed to be approximately 10p.

During the year, the Group's combined holding in CWE was diluted as a result of equity raising exercise by CWE in which the Group did not participate and certain sales of CWE shares undertaken by the Group.

Following a disposal of 113,639,808 shares on 9th July 2012, the Group's combined holding represented less than a 20% interest in CWE, and the Directors considered that the investment no longer met the criteria of an Associate under IAS 28 (see note 15(b)).

During 2011, in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets", the Group's investment in associate was impaired to its market value at 31 December 2011 of £8,578,000, based on a share price of AUD$.056.


15(a) Prior year Investment in Associate (continued)

On 9th July 2012 the Group disposed of 113,639,808 shares, being a 15.28% interest, for proceeds of £750,000. Prior to 9th July 2012 the investment in CWE was classified as an associate.

15(b) Derecognition of investment in Associate

In 2011, the Group held a 25.8% interest in CWE and accounted for the investment as an associate. Between January and July 2013 the Group disposed of 17,630,000 shares in CWE in a series of transactions and reduced its interest to 23.8%, recognising a loss on disposal of £185,000.

On 9th July 2012, the Group disposed of 113,639,808 shares for proceeds of £750,000. The Group retained the remaining interest as an Available-for-Sale Investment (note 15(c)). This transaction resulted in the recognition of a loss in profit or loss in 2012, calculated as follows:-

On the 5 February 2013 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Utilico Limited providing a loan facility of up to £1.75 million. On 30 September 2013 REH entered into a further agreement with Utilico Limited to increase the loan facility by  £1.5m to cover the expenditure that is, in the view of the directors, necessary to progress both the Welsh and Polish projects and to provide general working capital. This brings the total facility to £3.25m. The loan facility is subject to an interest rate of 10%.

The original corporate loan of £2,500,000 is subject to an interest rate of 10%, in addition to a commitment fee of 2.5% per annum in the first twelve months, rising to an additional commitment fee of 5% per annum thereafter. The repayment date of the loan is 31 July 2015 and has been included within current liabilities. The lender had the option to convert the loan into shares of the Company at 30.25p at any time until the repayment date. During the year all loan conversion terms have been waived by Utilico Investments Limited.

The Group's loan facility of £750,000 from EDF Energies Nouvelles SA was repaid in the year(see note 20).

General objectives, policies and procedures

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises principally from the Group's cash holdings and other receivables.

The Group's exposure to credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and other receivables, arises from default of the counterparty. The maximum exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these assets.

The Group's cash holdings are held only with reputable financial institutions. The Group's principal bankers are Barclays Private Clients International Limited. The Group also has deposits with Barclay's Group plc, HSBC plc and ING Bank.

These Banks have the following credit ratings at 31 December 2013 (Standard & Poor's):

Entity

Rating

Barclays Private Clients International

A+

Barclays Group plc

HSBC plc

A+

ING

AA-

The Group trades only with reputable third parties . For this reason the Group does not formally credit check customers before it enters into business with them. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Group does not have any overdue debts.



20  Financial Instruments - Risk Management (continued)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. See maturity table in note 19a. The Group has structured the repayment of its loans in such a manner that it should generate sufficient cash flows from the sale of the Group's assets to service the debt as repayment falls due.

The Group's financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables, which all fall due within one year. The Directors expect to settle the loan with Utilico Limited in 2015.  The Group's payment policy is to settle trade and other payables in accordance with agreed terms which is typically 30 days .

Interest Rate Risk

The Group does not have any financial instruments with any interest rate risk as the Group has no borrowings at a variable rate of interest.

Currency Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises because the Group has operations located in various parts of the world whose functional currency is not the same as the Company's functional currency.  Although its geographic spread arguably reduces the Group's risk in that it has diversified into several markets, the net assets from such overseas operations are exposed to currency risk giving rise to gains or losses on translation into sterling.  Only in exceptional circumstances will the Company consider hedging its net investments in overseas operations as generally it does not consider that the cash flow risk created from such hedging techniques warrants the reduction in volatility in consolidated net assets.

The table below shows the Group's currency exposures that give rise to the net currency gains and losses recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.  Such exposures comprise the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group that are not denominated in the operating ('functional') currency of the operating unit involved.

Through the financial assets and liabilities that the Group holds in foreign currencies the Group is subject to foreign exchange risk. If Sterling was to fall in value by 5% with all other variables held constant the value of financial assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet would have fallen by £136,000 and £28,000 respectively (2012: £151,000 and £25,000).

The Company is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risks.

The Group's overseas subsidiaries' and former associate's functional currencies are Polish Zlotys, and Euros. The Group has no significant exposure to other currencies.

Capital

The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital, share premium, accumulated retained earnings and long term debt. In managing its capital, the Group's primary objective is to provide a return for its equity shareholders through a strategy of realising the Group's assets as explained in the Chairman's report. The Group has historically considered equity and long term debt funding as the most appropriate form of financing the Group's activities but keeps this under review bearing in mind the risks, costs and benefits to equity shareholders of introducing debt finance.

Plan to dispose of wind farm project

On 30 April 2012 the Group announced the orderly sale of its assets and the return of cash to shareholders. The Group is actively seeking a buyer for its Polish wind farm project. It is the Director's judgement that the Polish wind farm project meets the criteria under IFRS 5 "Non Current Assets and Discontinue Operations" to be classified as held for sale.  Accordingly the Group's Polish operations have been presented as discontinued operations.

Analysis of loss for the year from discontinued operations

The results of the discontinued operations (i.e. the Polish wind farm project) included in the consolidated income statements are set out below. The comparative loss and cash flows from discontinued operations have been re-presented to include those operations classified as discontinued in the current year.

Mr Michael Proffitt

At 31 December 2013 Mr Michael Proffitt owed the Company £nil, (2012: £12,862).

Utilico Limited

Utilico Limited owns 28.71% of the shares in the Company. Until 12 July 2012 James Smith represented Utilico Limited on the Company's Board and received a Director's fee of £nil (2012: £18,610 per annum). From 12 July 2012 David Weir was appointed as Utilico Limited's representative on the Board and has been awarded £37,000(2012: £14,583) in Director's fees during the year. On 31 July 2010 the company signed a loan agreement with Utilico Limited. The loan amount was for £2,500,000 and subject to an interest rate of 10% per annum. The repayment date of the loan was 31 July 2011 where upon the lender has the option to convert the loan into shares at 30.25p.

On 31 July 2011 the Company renewed the loan agreement with Utilico Limited for an arrangement fee of £50,000. The loan amount is £2,500,000 and is subject to an interest rate of 10% per annum, in addition to a commitment fee of 2.5% per annum in the first twelve months, rising to an additional commitment fee of 5% per annum thereafter. The repayment date of the loan is 31 July 2015 and the lender has the option to convert the loan into shares of the Company at 30.25p at any time until the repayment date.During the year all loan conversion terms have been waived by Utilico Investments Limited

On the 5 February 2013 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Utilico Limited providing a loan facility of up to £1.75 million. To support the Loan, the Company granted to Utilico Limited security over substantially all of its assets, subject to (in the case of certain shares held by the Company in Carnegie Wave Energy Limited and Przedxiebiorstwo GAMAR GHL Sp. Zo.o) security previously granted in favour of EDF Energies Nouvelles SA ("EDF") pursuant to a loan agreement dated 7 February 2013.

The purpose of the Loan was restricted to:

1. Repay £750,000 outstanding under the EDF Loan (following such repayment, the security granted in favour of EDF pursuant to the EDF Loan will be released);

2. Reimburse the Company's cash investment made since 1 May 2013 in the 81MW wind farm development known as Mynydd Y Gwynt ( "MYG");

3. Fund the Company's continued investment in MYG, in particular costs arising in connection with the National Infrastructure Planning application.

27     Related party transactions (continued)

Under the terms of the Loan, the Company will pay a £50,000 arrangement fee and 10% interest per annum on the outstanding balance, such interest to be capitalised and paid on repayment of the Loan.  In addition a success fee will be payable to Utilico as follows:

1.   £4.75 million if the Company receives final planning permission to develop MYG and

i. disposes of its entire interest in MYG;

ii. enters into a joint venture agreement with any party other than Utilico Limited to construct the wind farm;

iii. incurs financial indebtedness owing to any party other than Utilico Limited to construct the wind farm; or

iv. enters into any amalgamation, demerger or merger,

2.              In the event that disposal proceeds exceed £37,500,000 a further fee is levied. The further fee is capped at an additional £5,000,000 and is calculated using the following formula.

Further fee = (A - 37,500,000)/4) + 1,000,000

(Where A is the gross consideration payable to the Company pursuant to a disposal of the Company's interest in MYG.)

In addition, if the Company receives final planning permission to develop MYG and does not dispose of the asset within 12 months of the date of the planning permission being obtained (or such later time as agreed between the Company and Utilico Limited), then Utilico Limited has the right to recall the Loan. In these circumstances, a fee of £4.75 million will be paid to Utilico Limited upon the recall of the Loan. Following a recall of the Loan and the payment of the £4.75 million fee, the Company will remain liable to Utilico Limited for a further fee, payable upon a subsequent disposal of the Company's interest in MYG, such that the total fee (including the fee payable upon the recall of the loan) payable by the Company to Utilico Limited is the greater of the aforementioned £4.75 million and an amount calculated using the formula set out in point 2 above.

On 30 September 2013 REH entered into a further agreement with Utilico Limited to increase the loan facility by  £1.5m to cover the expenditure that is, in the view of the directors, necessary to progress both the Welsh and Polish projects and to provide general working capital. This brings the total facility to £3.25m. The loan facility is subject to an interest rate of 10%.
