Chairman's statement
We have strategically positioned Ceres Power to be capable of
attracting and working with the world's leading power system
companies and we indicated last year that we expected to convert a
number of opportunities into commercial agreements. The recent
announcement of our collaboration with Honda is the first of these
agreements and the strongest validation of the Ceres team and Steel
Cell technology to date following two years of working together.
Over the past few years we have invested in the core capability and
the team at Ceres Power and it is very satisfying to see this now
coming through with some exciting commercial progress for the
business.
Our vision is to be able to provide a fuel cell for every home
and business. Since its foundation Ceres has been focused on micro
CHP, which are key markets in Japan, Korea and Europe in providing
increased energy efficiency and low carbon heat for the home.
However we are now also able to address the business side of this
vision with a growing number of power-only applications. This has
been made possible by the significant progress delivered in the
latest technology release by the technical team in targeting high
efficiency, higher power applications.
Despite the recent uncertainty in the economic climate, the need
for cleaner affordable power generation continues to grow as
emphasised by the recent progress made in the Paris COP21 agreement
between almost 200 countries in taking steps to reduce emissions to
meet the growing challenge of climate change. The shift towards
cleaner distributed power generation continues to grow globally and
this is reflected in the customer pipeline at Ceres with an
increasing number of early stage evaluations targeting the business
sectors with interest in commercial/light industrial
applications.
I'm pleased to say that we now have a number of customer
engagements underway which can create significant additional value
for the company in addition to the considerable opportunity that
already exists for Ceres in the residential applications.
Working with companies such as Honda continues to drive focus
and maturity in the business in delivering to cost, quality and at
the high volumes that customers require and our recent installation
of a high speed print line in the UK is a key step in demonstrating
to our customers and potential manufacturing partners that we can
also scale the business to meet customer demands in different
regions globally.
We have made a strong start to this year and the company is now
at an exciting stage of its development as we look forward to
securing more key commercial partnerships and building Ceres Power
to be one of the leading companies in this sector.

Chief Executive's statement
We've had a strong start to 2016 commercially following
excellent technical and commercial progress in the past 6 months.
This has enabled us to focus on securing new commercial partners in
new markets. The Honda agreement is the first of several key
commercial partnerships we expect to sign in 2016 against our
stated aim of securing five leading OEMs within the next two
years.
Our technology continues to advance with the release of the V3
Steel Cell offering increased power density and efficiency and we
are on track to release our latest V4 technology to customers in
the summer of 2016.
The increases in performance that we announced in December 2015
enable us to target applications beyond our established residential
micro CHP offering into power only for commercial/light industrial
applications and it places the Company's technology firmly into the
higher power application space. We are seeing a high level of
interest in these applications and we recently signed our first
evaluation for this technology for a multi-kW application.
On the operations side we have recently commissioned our new
high speed print line which is a key enabler in manufacturing the
Steel Cell at scale.
Commercial Progress
Following two years of extensive testing and development we are
delighted to have signed a new two-year JDA with Honda R&D. Not
only is this an exciting partner for Ceres to work with as they are
clearly consistent with our strategy of targeting the leaders in
power system products globally, but also Honda's requirements for
quality and performance push our engineering team to deliver to the
highest standards in the industry. Our success to date in growing
this relationship with Honda is a huge endorsement of our team's
dedication and ability and has generated further interest with a
growing pipeline of companies looking at the Steel Cell technology.
Under this new JDA the companies will jointly develop Solid Oxide
Fuel Cell stacks using Ceres Power's unique metal supported Steel
Cell technology for a range of potential power equipment
applications.
The Ceres Power and Honda joint development will also include a
third party manufacturer who will consider the future mass
production scale-up of the Steel Cell technology based on Ceres
Power's manufacturing processes. This represents an important
advancement in the relationship and is consistent with our strategy
of being able to scale production of the Steel Cell as required
with key partners in target geographies.
I am also pleased with recent progress in the technology, which
has enabled us to target new market applications and we recently
signed a new OEM Evaluation agreement and commissioned a complete
Steel Cell system for a period of rigorous testing at a new
customer site. If the testing proves successful the two parties
intend to enter into a Joint Development of a multi kW system later
this year.

The Steel Cell technology is attractive for a number of
applications as a superior alternative to diesel generator sets and
gas engines because it produces close to zero SOx and NOx emissions
which will be key to ensuring cleaner cities, whilst also lowering
CO(2) and energy bills by around a third.
Our existing commercial relationship with KD Navien continues to
progress and we have met all of the performance requirement to date
in this engagement and hope to advance this further this year.
In the past 6 months I decided to strengthen the commercial team
and was delighted to be able to recruit Tony Cochrane as Chief
Commercial Officer bringing considerable experience and leadership
in the fuel cell sector from his time in Ballard Power Systems.
Tony is based in North America, further boosting access to this
market segment and this adds to our offices in Japan and South
Korea. Our experience to date in Japan of committing resource to
key target markets has paid off in growing our pipeline and
reputation in the world's most advanced fuel cell market. We will
continue to grow the commercial team with localised representation
as we go after key target markets and applications.
I am very pleased that the hard work in building our commercial
pipeline is now coming through into customer contracts and I expect
this to translate into increasing revenues for the rest of the
year. Our ambition remains to work with the leaders in each market
sector we target and have five significant partnerships in place
within two years and we are delivering against this strategy.
Technology
We now have a well-established R&D roadmap with which we are
making great progress in the performance of the technology ahead of
a rigorous planned annual release of our platforms to
customers.
In November we released our V3 technology to customers following
extensive internal testing and validation proving durability as
well as lifetime. Looking forward, our V4 release to customers is
on track for mid-2016 and serves two primary purposes: preparing
the technology for scale-up, as well as improving performance and
reducing cost further.
For the residential market we have developed the Steel Gen
platform, a 1kW class power system that uses the V3 technology, to
achieve 50% net electrical efficiency in one of the most compact
fuel cell system design available. This platform is now available
to OEM partners, allowing fuel cell power systems running on
natural gas and based on Ceres Power's Steel Cell technology to
achieve significant power-only efficiencies in the home or business
which are higher than the best state-of-the-art centralised
generating plants and overall efficiency up to 90% when also
capturing the heat.
A new focus over the past year has been to develop the
technology to be able to access the very significant
business/commercial markets. These require higher power system
outputs so we have developed a modular stack concept for the first
time, which has achieved more than 55% net electrical efficiency.
This is hugely important as 50% is the tipping point when the
technology becomes viable for commercial and light industrial scale
applications. This new workstream will continue to develop the
technology specifically for multi kW applications.
In addition to the above we have a number of advanced
engineering programmes that are set to deliver some exciting new
developments later this year in our stack and system architecture,
which should benefit all potential applications.
As a technology company we will continuously improve the core
technology against our targets for performance, robustness and cost
to provide strong economic benefit for the end user at an
affordable price point and serve to strengthen our USP and
competitive position.
Operations and Manufacturing
Over the past six months under the leadership of James Falla,
our COO, we have made significant progress on our production
scale-up projects, which are designed to demonstrate and validate
that the production process is suitable for high-volume fuel cell
manufacture at market cost-points. We are on track for delivery
this year through the V4 programme.
A good example of this is the recently announced successful
commissioning of our high-speed print line in Horsham part-funded
by a GBP700k grant from Innovate UK.
The print line is the first of its kind in the UK that can print
very thin ceramic layers at high speed on steel fuel cell
substrates. Jointly developed with ASM Alternative Energy it
combines ASM's high-speed photovoltaic manufacturing processes
solutions with Ceres' own existing manufacturing capabilities. This
has achieved a 10-fold increase in processing speed, reducing
print-cycle time from 30 seconds to just 3 seconds and demonstrates
that Ceres' processes are consistent with low cost, high volume
fuel cell manufacturing.
Looking ahead, we are in discussions with several manufacturing
partners to scale the business in line with OEM demand, with a
particular focus on Asia as a first market.
Financial
During the period equity free cash outflow (EFCF)(1) was GBP5.4m
(2014: GBP4.5m). This planned increase was driven by both the
Company's continued development of its technology, incurring 'cash
operating costs'(2) of GBP5.4m (2014: GBP4.6m), and by additions to
the Group's test and manufacturing infrastructure as it incurred
GBP1.0m capital expenditure (2014: GBP0.8m). The business is now
investing on expanding its multi-kW capability at all levels, as
well as continuing the core 1kW development.
Revenue and other operating income, which was predominantly
income from grants, was GBP0.45m (2014: GBP0.43m) with an increased
amount of revenue primarily generated from customer evaluation and
joint development agreements of GBP0.2m (2014: GBP0.1m). This
doesn't yet reflect commercial progress that has been made in the
last few months with the signing of several new customer
agreements, and we expect revenue in the full year to be
significantly higher than last year.
The Company ends the period with GBP12.8m in cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments (2014: GBP22.7m) and we have
a good expectation of raising further funding before the end of
2016, which is required in order to continue our activities and to
fund the growing opportunity we see in the higher power markets,
and supplements income from customers and government grants.
An important form of funding to the business continues to come
in the form of R&D tax credits. The company received GBP0.8m of
tax credit relating to the year ended 30 June 2015 in the period
(2014: GBP0.2m) and expects to receive the remaining balance
(GBP0.7m) in the coming months.
The Company's loss for the financial period rose from GBP4.7m in
2014 to GBP5.5m, in line with internal expectations and as a result
of the continued investment in test, validation and engineering
capability as we grow the business.
Outlook
Our vision is a fuel cell for every home and business and to
realise this ambition we are targeting working with the leading
power systems companies globally across a range of geographies and
applications.
The Honda agreement is the first of several key commercial
partnerships we expect to sign this year against our stated aim of
securing five leading OEMs within the next two years. We expect to
secure further commercial partners for both residential products
and, with increasing focus, new applications and markets based on
the recent and continuing advancements in performance of the Steel
Cell.
We expect the commercial progress we have made will provide an
uplift in revenue in the second half of FY 2015/16 and into FY
2016/17.
Our roadmap continues on track and we are due to release our
latest V4 technology to customers during the summer and as stated
earlier, we anticipate delivering exciting new developments later
in the year. We continue to work on scaling up our manufacturing
capability at Horsham and also engage with manufacturing partners
for key territories to support our commercial efforts.
We have a strong and dedicated team at Ceres Power who I would
like to thank for the continued dedication and hard work and we are
all looking forward to seeing this effort result in further
commercial progress in the year ahead.

Notes to the financial statements for the six months ended 31
December 2015
1. Basis of preparation
This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by
the EU.
The annual financial statements of the group are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
as adopted by the EU. As required by the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the
condensed set of financial statements has been prepared applying
the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the
preparation of the company's published consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.
This interim report, which comprises the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial
position, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the
consolidated cash flow statement and the related notes, is
unaudited and does not constitute audited accounts within the
meaning of the Companies Act 2006. The accounts for the year ended
30 June 2015, on which the auditors gave an unqualified audit
opinion, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015, as described
in those financial statements. As at the date of signing the
interim financial statements, there are no new Standards likely to
affect the financial statements for the year ending 30 June
2016.
The Company is continuing to develop and commercialise its core
Steel Cell fuel cell system technology. The Company raises finance
to part-fund its activities in discrete tranches and further
funding will be raised as and when required.
The directors prepare annual budgets and cash flow projections
that extend beyond 12 months from the date of this report. These
projections include the proceeds of future fundraising to be
secured within the calendar year to meet the Group's planned
expenditures and to maintain the Group as a going concern. Although
the Group has been successful in raising finance in the past, there
is no assurance that it will obtain adequate finance in the future
and, as such, there remains a material uncertainty about the
Group's ability to trade as a going concern. However, because of
the Group's relationships with certain shareholders, the directors
have a good expectation that they will secure the additional
funding when required to continue meeting the Group's funding
requirements for the foreseeable future and therefore believe that
the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of the
financial statements. The financial information does not include
the adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to
continue as a going concern.
