Chairman’s Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to present the unaudited interim results for the six-month period
ended 31 January 2023. During the period we have significantly strengthened
the intellectual property around our green hydrogen production system,
commenced prototype testing, and broadened our investment exposure to cover
downstream hydrogen production and distribution facilities.
Review of activity
On 5 October 2022, we announced the acquisition by our joint venture
subsidiary HFI IP Holdings Limited of a suite of international patents which
are relevant to the system being developed by the Company. This acquisition
significantly enhanced the intellectual property around HFI’s wind-based
hydrogen production system. The patents cover a range of works including
ducted wind turbine rotor configurations; a dynamic telescopic tower to
optimise wind farm energy production and reduce maintenance cost; a variable
hydraulic drive and electro-magnetic clutch to increase efficiency and lower
the cost of energy production; and the conversion of stored energy to green
hydrogen.
The patents acquired were granted to HW Power Limited in respect of work
undertaken by Timothy Blake between 2015 and 2018, prior to him joining HFI as
Chief Executive Officer of HFI Energy Systems Limited, the Company’s wholly
owned product development subsidiary. Given the considerable efficiency gains
we believe our turbine will offer compared to existing open rotor wind
turbines in use today, the commercial applications for our patents may not be
limited to hydrogen and could be of value in the wider wind energy generation
sector. Accordingly, we will in due course be exploring wider commercial
applications for the patents beyond HFI’s systems, potentially as an avenue
for early cash flow generation.
On 1 November 2022, HFI announced the commencement of prototype testing of the
wind element of the Company’s hydrogen production system 1 metre diameter
prototype in Montana, USA. A key element of the prototype is its proprietary
wind turbine, which has been designed with notably distinct features which
allow the turbines to be more efficient than current open rotor turbines due
to modified aerodynamics, with cowling directing air flow across the rotor
blades to create a multiple factor increase in wind speed. The cowling also
directs the flow of wind out and away from the rear of the turbine, reducing
the potential for still air to block the flow through the turbines. We believe
the increased efficiency of the turbine could in turn increase the efficiency
and ultimately lower the cost of hydrogen production.
The prototype is being tested in an area selected for its consistent wind
speeds and regulatory support for wind turbine development and wind farm
placement. HFI has a local development facility where the turbines are
fabricated and mounted onto towers for testing in local wind speeds. The power
output from the turbines will be compared to predicted results. The cowling
and rotor blades are a product of aerodynamic development and have been 3D
printed on site.
The first stage of the outdoor test programme - a 20-hour live test - has been
successfully completed, confirming the aerodynamics align to the wind
direction as planned, there is no distinguishing noise from the rotor blades,
and there is no fouling of the blades with the cowling.
The next phase of testing – variable weather and temperature conditions –
was successfully undertaken between February and April 2023, in temperatures
that dropped below -20(o) C and in wind speeds up to 58 MPH. The test was
undertaken to see how the wind turbine would react to extreme cold
temperatures and consistent high wind speeds. The wind turbine completed the
test without any issues.
A third and final phase is expected to begin in May 2023 of an enhanced
version of the 1 metre diameter wind turbine. The upgraded wind turbine will
be used to measure the energy output over an 8 to 12-week period before work
commences on a larger diameter commercial wind turbine. The data gained from
the performance of the wind turbine will be compared to the wind tunnel
results and used in the design of the larger diameter wind turbines.
On 16 January 2023, we announced an investment in, and collaboration with,
Tower Green Holdings Limited, a developer of hydrogen production and
distribution facilities which is establishing multipurpose hydrogen hubs in
the southwest of England to provide energy storage and hydrogen as a fuel.
Under the agreement, HFI’s system will be implemented as Tower’s preferred
green hydrogen production technology.
HFI made an initial investment of £100,000 in Tower for a 20% equity stake,
£50,000 of which was paid in cash and £50,000 was settled by the issue of
500,000 new ordinary shares in HFI at a price of 10p per share. In addition,
HFI has the right to invest a further £50,000 in Tower upon Tower signing an
agreement to collaborate with certain specific project partners for an
additional 10% equity stake in Tower.
Our system aims to produce affordable green hydrogen and so is well placed to
support companies like Tower as they develop downstream infrastructure and
partnerships to get hydrogen into vehicles and support the decarbonisation of
transport. Through this agreement, not only are we gaining early investment
exposure to the massive growth opportunity in hydrogen refuelling which is
analogous to the rollout of EV charging infrastructure over recent years, we
are also supporting Tower’s ambition to become a vertically integrated green
hydrogen producer and distributor in the UK.
Financial Review
Financial highlights for the Group for the six-month period ended 31 January
2023 are stated below:
* Cash and cash equivalents at period end were £736,065 (31 January 2022:
£1.907m)
* Loss before taxation for the period was £710,344 (includes £175,685
(non-cash) share based payments)
* Net cash outflow for the period was £641,300
* The Group held net assets at period end of £1.342m
The Group has invested significantly in research and development in the period
which accounts for a significant portion of the loss incurred. As prototype
testing progresses through the next phases, the Group will look to capitalise
this expenditure once it satisfies the necessary requirements laid out in
“IAS 38 – Intangible Assets.” The remaining loss in the period relates
to general administrative expenses of running the Group and be further viewed
at Note 7.
The Company continues to carefully manage its working capital position.
Outlook
We expect 2023 to continue as an exciting year, particularly as we begin next
month to measure the energy output from our prototype turbine in Montana, USA.
We look forward to updating shareholders on our development progress in this
hugely exciting subset of the energy sector.

HYDROGEN FUTURE INDUSTRIES PLC – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
1General information
Hydrogen Future Industries Plc (“the Company”) was incorporated on 13 July
2021 in England and Wales with Registered Number 13508782 under the Companies
Act 2006.
The address of its registered office is Eccleston Yards, 25 Eccleston Place,
London SW1W 9NF, United Kingdom.
The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries collectively
referred to as “the Group” is to seek suitable investment opportunities in
the natural resources sector with a particular focus on the hydrogen industry.
The Company commenced trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange (“AQSE”) Growth
Market on 1 December 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial statements (“interim financial statements”) present the
consolidated results of the Group.
2Accounting policies
IAS 8 requires that the directors shall use their judgement in developing and
applying accounting policies that result in information which is relevant to
the economic decision-making needs of users, that are reliable, free from
bias, prudent, complete and represent faithfully the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the entity.
3Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim
financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the AQSE rules and international accounting standards in
conformity with the requirements of the companies act 2006 and the companies
act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under UK-adopted international
accounting standards (“IFRS”).
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
“interim financial statements”. The interim financial statements do not
include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of
financial statements but have been prepared in accordance with the existing
accounting policies of the company.
The interim financial statements for the 6 month period from 1 August 2022 to
31 January 2023 are unaudited. Comparatives have been provided for the
comparable period ending 31 January 2022.
The interim financial statements have been prepared using the measurement
bases specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense.
The interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts within
the meaning of section 434 of the companies act 2006. The accounting policies
adopted are consistent with those applied in the Company’s last audited
annual financial statements ending 31 July 2022 and can be viewed on the
Company’s website (https://hydrogenfutureindustries.com/).
The interim financial statements are presented in Great British Pounds
sterling (“£”) unless otherwise stated, which is the Group’s functional
and presentational currency. The Directors have decided to only present
consolidated interim financial statements and not parent level financial
statements as they believe consolidated statements alone present an accurate
depiction of the Group’s financial performance and position.
The performance of the Group is not affected by seasonal factors and the risk
factors applicable to the Group have not changed materially since the
publication of the annual report and financial statements for the period
ending 31 July 2022.
4Going concern
The directors have made an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as
a going concern and are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group’s
auditors included a material uncertainty related to going concern in the last
annual report based on the ability of the Group to source additional funding
in the 12 months from signoff of the annual report in December 2022. The
Directors are confident in the ability of the Group to satisfy this condition
and hence continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these interim
financial statements.
5Accounting policies
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have
been followed in these interim financial statements as were applied in the
preparation of the Group’s annual financial report for the period ended 31
July 2022, except for the impact of the adoption of the standards and
interpretations described below and new accounting policies adopted as a
result of changes in the Company.
At the date of approval of these financial statements, the following standards
and interpretations which have not been applied in these financial statements
were in issue but not yet effective (and in some cases have not yet been
adopted by the UK):
Standard Impact on initial application Effective date
Annual Improvements 2018-2020 Cycle 1 January 2023
IAS 1 Classification of liabilities Current or Non-current 1 January 2023
IAS 8 Accounting estimates 1 January 2023
IAS 12 Deferred tax arising from a single transaction 1 January 2023
6Critical accounting estimates and judgments
In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the
directors have to make judgments on how to apply the Group’s accounting
policies and make estimates about the future. Estimates and judgements are
continuously evaluated based on historical experiences and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may deviate from
these estimates and assumptions.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation
uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year, are described below:
Share Based Payments
The Group has made share based payments during the period that required
valuation under applicable accounting standards. The Directors have chosen to
value these warrants and options using Black Scholes method with inputs that
can be viewed at Note 12.
Research and development expenditure
The Group, primarily through its US based subsidiary is well advanced in the
development of a 1m Wind Turbine Prototype. At the end of the Group’s last
annual report development was still at a stage where it was not considered
appropriate to capitalise expenditure related to the project. As of the
signing of this report data is being collected that will likely confirm the
efficiency advantages of the turbine over existing designs. Once this data is
collected the Directors will have sufficient confidence in the commercial
potential of the project and would be more assured of timings as to when
economic benefits would flow to the Group. As a result the Directors have made
the judgement not to capitalise expenditure related to the prototype in the
period ending 31 January 2023 however will review at each period end going
forward with the look to capitalise expenditure as soon as practicable.
7Administrative expenses
Period ended 31 January 2023 £’000 Period ended 31 January 2022 £’000
Directors’ fees (54) (18)
Salaries and wages* (92) -
Professional fees (114) (182)
Contractors* (113) -
Insurance (17) (34)
Other administrative expenses (144) (30)
Share based payments (176) (10)
(710) (274)
*During the period the Group has invested in the development of wind turbine
technology and has utilised the services of contractors and employees to
assist with this. Once possible the Group will look to capitalise this
expenditure as it is directly attributable to the development of future
intangible assets as alluded to in Note 6.
8Income tax
Income tax can be reconciled to the loss in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income as follows:
Period ended 31 January 2023 Period ended 31 January 2022£’000
Loss before taxation (710) (274)
Tax at the UK corporation tax rate of 19% (135) (52)
Adjustment for items disallowable for tax (33) -
Tax losses on which no deferred tax asset has been recognised 102 52
- -
The Group has total carried forward losses of £1,234k. The taxed value of the
unrecognised deferred tax asset is £235k and these losses do not expire. No
deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses have been recognised in the
accounts because there is currently insufficient evidence of the timing of
suitable future taxable profits against which they can be recovered.
On 15 March 2023 it was announced that from 1 April 2023 the UK corporation
tax rate would increase from 19% to 25% for profits over £250,000. Profits
made under the £250,000 threshold will continue to be taxed at a rate of 19%.
The Company will continue to calculate the effective tax rate at 19%.
9Earnings per Ordinary Share
Period ended 31 January 2023 Period ended 31 January 2022

Weighted number of ordinary shares in issue 32,043,443 11,955,198
Basic & dilutive earnings per share from continuing operations - pence (2.22) (2.29)
There is no difference between the diluted loss per share and the basic loss
per share presented. Share options and warrants could potentially dilute basic
earnings per share in the future but were not included in the calculation of
diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive for the period presented.
