Board update
-- Jonathan Marren confirmed as permanent Chief Financial
Officer to continue alongside his existing role as Chief
Development Officer.
Larry Zulch, Chief Executive Officer at Invinity said:
"When we released our final results for 2022, I wrote that 2023
would be an inflection point and it appears I was correct. We saw
record income first half, up by ten times year over year. We made
significant progress on Mistral, our joint product development with
Gamesa Electric and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. We achieved
positive product gross margin on the largest vanadium flow battery
in the United States. And then it got better just after the half
year with our first Mistral sale to Everdura, our partners in
Taiwan, followed by the U.S. Department of Energy's announcement
that they plan to fund 84 MWh of Mistral projects, more than we've
delivered in our history to date. Jonathan Marren's agreement to be
our CFO was another positive development. All of this, combined
with the increasing awareness in energy markets of the critical
role Invinity's vanadium flow batteries will play in the transition
to renewable energy, supports our belief that we are the leading
company in non-lithium stationary storage."

CEO Report
H1 2023 Financial Results
Total income including sales revenue and project related grant
income increased 10x to GBP14.8m in H1 2023 (H1 2022: GBP1.5m).
Revenue is recognised against projects when specific performance
obligations related to those projects have been satisfied. Grant
funding specific to customer projects has been presented alongside
the relevant project revenue and associated direct costs where that
funding is project specific and represents a direct subsidy against
project costs.
Almost all of the GBP14.8m was driven by successful deliveries
relating to the Company's three biggest projects to date,
being:
-- 8.4 MWh VFB to Elemental Energy for its Chappice Lake Solar
Storage project in Alberta, Canada;
-- 8 MWh VFB to Yadlamalka Energy for its Spencer Energy project in South Australia;
-- 10 MWh VFB to the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians for its
solar-plus-storage microgrid project in Southern California, in
part funded by the California Energy Commission.
As previously disclosed in Company accounts, the Elemental
Energy and Yadlamalka Energy projects were both delivered at a
project gross margin loss as the Company chose to invest in the
deployment of its VS3 product into these two important reference
projects, the deployment of which has played an important part in
the Company signing more than 66 MWh of further orders. Some of
this loss was offset by the release of a provision for contract
losses.
The Company is pleased to report that the more recently
announced 10 MWh Viejas project, referenced in the section above,
was delivered at a small positive project gross margin. (Note
project gross margin excludes absorbed indirect overheads).
Administration costs increased marginally to GBP9.3m (H1 2022:
GBP8.9m). The Company continues to invest in its staff so as to
develop an operation capable of supporting the significant growth
potential available whilst also developing Mistral. Research and
Development costs are shown on a net basis after cost recoveries
from Gamesa Electric under our Joint Development and
Commercialisation Agreement with the decrease year-on-year partly a
result of increased recoveries under this agreement.
Finance income and finance costs are both impacted by the
unwinding of the associated balance sheet captions following the
repayment of the Riverfort Loan facility in March 2023. As part of
Finance income, interest was received of GBP0.1m on cash balances
held following the fundraising in March 2023.
Total inventory and net related working capital rose to GBP4.7m
at the end of the Period (H1 2022: GBP1.2m) as a result of
increased activity to deliver on the 2023 sales pipeline as
follows:

During the Period the Company raised GBP23m from an equity
fundraising including securing a GBP2.5m strategic investment from
Taiwanese technology group Everbrite. Following the repayment of
the Riverfort Loan facility in March 2023 the Group is debt free,
excluding leases.
Commercial
The Company announced today that the United States Department of
Energy ("DOE") plans to fund six projects across the U.S. that
together will use 84 MWh of Invinity's next generation product,
code-named "Mistral".
This award marks important progress for Invinity in building a
robust orderbook for its next- generation product that is expected
to formally launch in 2024.
Post Period end, the Company also secured its first commercial
order for Mistral from strategic partner, Everdura, for a project
in central Taiwan to balance the island's electric grid. This
order, a varying of the original 15 MWh order announced 1 December
2022, does not change revenue forecasts but is expected to achieve
a greater gross margin than previously anticipated.
During the Period, the Company closed 5.38 MWh of sales from 5
customers (H1 2022: 8.4 MWh from 1 customer), each of which are
anticipated to contribute positive project gross margin. The
Company also secured GBP11m of matched funding under Phase 2 of the
UK LODES project for a 30 MWh system. Contracting for this project
is ongoing and further updates will be provided in due course.
Post Period, the Company also made a further 0.66 MWh of VS3
sales to 2 customers in the EU and Australia.
The Company also signed three reseller partnerships in North
America, covering Defense and Tribal Nations projects (Indian
Energy), the UK, covering battery rentals (Dawsongroup), and
Hungary (Ideona Group and STS Group).
Post the Period end, the Company entered into a memorandum of
understanding with Everdura proposing a strategic manufacturing
partnership for Invinity products in Taiwan that would
significantly expand the Company's total global manufacturing
capacity and provide greater access to Asian energy storage markets
in the future.
Finally, strong government and agency engagement occurred in the
year to date, with key post Period events including:
-- hosting Scottish Energy Minister, Gillian Martin MSP at the
Company's Bathgate facility (July 2023);
-- hosting Canada's Energy and Natural Resources Minister,
Jonathan Wilkinson, at the Company's Vancouver facility as he
launched Powering Canada Forward alongside B.C.'s Minister for
Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation, Brenda Bailey (August
2023);
-- Matt Harper, CCO, addressing the UK House of Lords Science
and Technology Committee on the benefits of VFBs for the Net Zero
grid (September 2023).
Next-Generation Product Development Progress
The Company continues to be pleased with the progress achieved
to date of the development program for its next-generation product
code-named Mistral. The securing of B.C. CICE funding support for
the pilot prototype, the first commercial order for the product
from Everdura, and the DOE's announcement that it plans to fund 84
MWh of Mistral projects are key milestones that continue to
underline the attractiveness and suitability of Invinity's durable
and flexible vanadium flow batteries to meet the growing global
requirement for energy storage.
Invinity continues to expect more contracts for a limited number
of initial Mistral projects to be announced later in 2023. The
expected full launch, including full product details, certification
and unrestricted sale of the product remains on track for
mid-2024.
Operational
During the Period the Company delivered a record 26.5 MWh of
vanadium flow batteries (H1 2022: 3.4 MWh) including deliveries
associated with the 10 MWh system for the Viejas project in
California, the 8.4 MWh system for the Chappice Lake project in
Canada and the 8 MWh system for the Spencer Energy project in
Australia. The Company also remains on track to deliver against its
customer commitments for 2023.
The deliveries were achieved from inventory held at the previous
year end plus the manufacture of a record 15.62 MWh of vanadium
flow batteries during the Period (H1 2022: 5.94 MWh). This
achievement is a direct result of continued investment in improving
the capacity of the Company's manufacturing facilities, including a
significant increase in the Vancouver facility achieved at minimal
cost.
The Company also made significant supply chain improvements to
further enhance operational efficiencies and margins and increase
manufacturing scale at lower cost as part of management's pathway
to profitability, including hiring a global Head of Supply
Chain.
Corporate & Strategic
Invinity continues to make important strategic developments
relating to its products, partners and corporate positioning,
including securing DTC Eligibility to allow real-time electronic
clearing and settlement in the United States for its OTCQX-listed
ordinary shares to provide increased liquidity for U.S.-based
investors.
Invinity sees strategic partnerships and investment as an
important pillar of its future corporate growth. As previously
disclosed, the Company confirms that discussions with a number of
potential strategic partners remain ongoing.
Post the Period end, following General Meetings of the
Short-Term and Long-Term Warrant holders, the Company secured
approval to amend the subscription prices of its Short- and
Long-Term Warrants and the exercise date of the Short-Term
Warrants.
Throughout the Period and beyond, the Company has continued to
focus on delivering its four-part strategy that is taking Invinity
forward on its pathway to profitability. These key tenets of 1)
delivering projects; 2) closing new and larger deals; 3)
progressing Mistral; and 4) advancing its operational excellence
are enabling the Company to maintain its growth trajectory and
adroitly address challenges as they appear.
Current Trading and Outlook
The Company's 2023 revenue backlog (defined as both contracted
orders already recognised in 2023 and contracted orders capable of
delivery over the remainder of 2023) was GBP24.9m as at 22
September 2023.

2: Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
information for the six-months ended 30 June 2023 (the 'interim
financial information') has been prepared in accordance with IAS
34, 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
The financial information should be read in conjunction with the
Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2022, that were prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2022 are available on the company's website (
www.invinity.com ).
This interim financial information has been prepared using the
historical cost basis of accounting. The accounting policies
applied across all the Group's subsidiaries when preparing the
financial information are consistent with those adopted and
disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2022. The accounting policies have been consistently
applied across all Group entities for the purpose of producing this
interim financial information.
The financial information included in this document does not
comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Companies
(Jersey) Law 1991. The comparative figures for the financial year
ended 31 December 2022 are not the company's statutory accounts for
that financial year within the meaning of Companies (Jersey) Law
1991. Those accounts have been reported on by the company's
auditors and delivered to the Jersey Financial Services
Commission.
The report of the auditors included in the annual report and
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 was
unqualified. However, the auditors' report did contain an emphasis
of matter related to the application of the going concern basis of
preparation.
The Group's business activities, together with factors likely to
affect its future development, performance and position, are set
out in the operations and financial review sections of this
report.
The financial position of the Group, its cash flows and
liquidity position are described in the financial review
section.
Going concern
In assessing whether the Group has the ability to continue as a
going concern the Directors have modelled a base cash flow forecast
for a period up to 31 December 2024. The Directors have prepared a
base case scenario that assumes the 14.5m Short-Term warrants
originally granted in 2021 ("Short-Term Warrants"), are exercised.
Under this scenario the Group would expect to remain cash positive
for the period up to 31 December 2024 assessed for going concern
purposes. The forecast does indicate that the Group would move into
negative cash shortly after the period assessed for going concern
as a result of working capital investment on future sales. The
Group would defer any working capital investment if it were to
result in exhausting all cash. This forecast is also based on
delivering existing signed sales contracts during 2023 as per
forecast gross margins and existing and future sales contracts
during 2024 at anticipated positive gross margins. The Directors
recognise there is a risk that the Short-Term Warrants will not be
exercised if they are not 'in the money' before the expiry date and
given it is not at the discretion of the Group.
In assessing going concern the Directors have also prepared a
severe but plausible downside scenario which forecasts delivery of
existing and future sales being made during 2024 being delayed
beyond June 2024 and forecasted margins not being achieved, and the
Short-Term warrants not being exercised. Under this scenario the
Group would exhaust all available cash by April 2024 and it will be
necessary to raise further funding within the next 12 months in
order to continue trading and deliver on the strategic
objectives.
The Directors are in the process of evaluating potential
additional funding options from potential strategic investors but
no such funding is committed as at the date of approval of these
financial statements. The Group has been, and continues in, active
discussions with a number of potential strategic investors and is
confident that it will be able to conclude an equity investment
from one or more of such parties within the period up to 31
December 2024 assessed for going concern purposes. The Directors
also note that the Company concluded an initial strategic
investment from Everbrite Technology Co., Ltd. for GBP2.5 million
in March 2023 which gives them confidence that the Company is
capable of attracting further strategic investment.
Due to the uncertainty in relation to obtaining additional
funding this indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that
may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as
a going concern.
The financial statements do not include the adjustments that
would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going
concern.
In addition to the issues discussed above, the directors have
also reviewed other varying, and wide-ranging information relating
to both present and future conditions when reaching their
conclusion regarding going concern. These included the:
-- operational performance of the Company's products delivered to customer sites to date;
-- value of contracts signed for delivery in 2023 and 2024;
-- growing sales pipeline of 4,653.2 MWh in September 2023 vs 2,470.3 MWh in May 2023;
-- growing opportunities presented by the emergent energy storage market;
-- growing levels of Government engagement and support in the three key markets; and
-- positive discussions with potential strategic partners
regarding making an equity investment into the Company.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of interim financial information requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and of items of income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this interim financial information, the significant
judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting
policies were the same as those that applied to the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Similarly, the key sources of estimation uncertainty related to the
financial information were the same as those encountered when
applying the Group's accounting policies in relation to the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2022.
Principal risks and uncertainties
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial information,
management is required to consider the principal risks and
uncertainties facing the Group. In management's opinion the
principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are unchanged
since the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2022. Those risks and uncertainties,
together with management's response to them are described in the
risk review section of the annual report and financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in this condensed consolidated
financial information are consistent with those applied in
preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2022.

---------------------------------------- -------------- -------------- --------------
Additional potential shares used in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share primarily relate to potential shares outstanding
at 30 June 2023 that may be issued in satisfaction of
'in-the-money' employee share options. Potentially dilutive shares
related to 'in-the-money' outstanding warrants to subscribe for
ordinary shares in the Company are also included in calculating
diluted earnings per share.
Where additional potential shares have an anti-dilutive impact
on the calculation of loss per share calculation, such potential
shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares used
in the calculation.
Additional potential shares are anti-dilutive where their
inclusion in the calculation of loss per share results in a lower
loss per share.

Goodwill
All goodwill is tested annually for impairment. At 31 December
2022, goodwill was tested for impairment using a fair value less
costs of disposal methodology by reference to the Company's quoted
market capitalisation using the price of 43.0 pence per share at
that date. No impairment loss was identified in relation to
goodwill.
The closing share price on 22 September 2023 was 44.0p, giving a
market capitalisation of GBP80.23m which does not indicate
impairment of goodwill.
Patents and certifications
There have been no events or circumstances that would indicate
that the carrying value of patents and certifications may be

On 14 December 2022 the Company entered a US$ 10.0 million
Investment Agreement with Riverfort Global Opportunities PCC LTD
(Riverfort) and YA II PN, Ltd (Yorkville) (together, the
Noteholders). The Investment Agreement was intended to provide

the Investment Agreement were convertible to ordinary shares of the
Company at the option of each of Riverfort and Yorkville. To
facilitate the conversion of amounts drawn by the Company under the
Investment Agreement, a total of 2,700,038 ordinary shares (the
Initial Shares) were issued in advance to Riverfort and Yorkville
on a 50/ 50 basis.
Following the Company's successful fundraise in March 2023 the
Investment Agreement was redeemed in full. At the redemption date
1,779,640 of the Initial Shares remained outstanding and held by
the Noteholders.
To the extent that the Noteholders still held Initial Shares
after the Facility had been repaid in full, the shares will be sold
by the Noteholders with the relevant net proceeds remitted to the
Company. To ensure an orderly market, the Company and the
Noteholders agreed that, for a period of 24 months from the date of
the Repayment Agreement, these remaining shares may only be sold
following instruction from the Company, given an agreement that 97%
of the net proceeds are to be remitted to the Company.
Because the Company will receive 97% of the proceeds on any sale
of the Initial Shares that it instructs, the outstanding balance of
the Initial Shares represent a financial asset to the Company.
Accordingly, the outstanding Initial Shares have been designated
as Fair Value Through Profit and Loss in accordance with IFRS 9.
The outstanding Initial Shares were recognised as a receivable at
fair value based on the share price (32.5p) on the date of the
agreement to repay all amounts outstanding under the Investment
Agreement together with any relevant redemption charges.
At each reporting date going forward, any outstanding Initial
Shares will be revalued by reference to the Company's share price
(AIM:IES) and a fair value gain or loss based on the increase or
decrease in the aggregate fair value of the outstanding Initial
Shares will be recorded in profit and loss accordingly.
On 30 June 2023, the outstanding Initial Shares have been
revalued based on the Company's closing share price of 49.0p per
share at that date. A corresponding gain representing the
difference between the original valuation of the Initial Shares
that was calculated on redemption of the Investment Agreement that
closed in March 2023 and based on a share price of 32.5p.
The fair value of the outstanding Initial Shares on 30 June 2023
was GBP845,863 (2022: GBPnil).

Warranty provision
The warranty provision represents management's best estimate of
the costs anticipated to be incurred related to warranty claims,
both current and future, from customers in respect of goods and
services sold that remain within their warranty period. The
estimate of future warranty costs is updated periodically based on
the Company's actual experience of warranty claims from
customers.
The element of the provision related to potential future claims
is based on management's experience and is judgmental in nature. As
for any product warranty, there is an inherent uncertainty around
the likelihood and timing of a fault occurring that would cause
further work to be undertaken or the replacement of equipment
parts.
A standard warranty of up to two years from the date of
commissioning is provided to all customers on goods and services
sold and is included in the original cost of the product. Customers
are also able to purchase extended warranties that extend the
warranty period for up to a total of ten years.
Provision for legacy products
Where it is considered of commercial value, management has
elected to provide ongoing maintenance for certain legacy products
not otherwise covered under warranty. Management has determined
that it is necessary to provide for the costs of this ongoing
maintenance or to provide for outright decommissioning. The prior
year presentation has been re-stated to reflect this.
Provisions in respect of legacy products are expected to unwind
over the next two years when maintenance is either terminated or
the products are decommissioned.
Provision for contract losses
A provision is established for contract losses when it becomes
known that a contract has become onerous. A contract is onerous
when the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the Group's obligations
under a contract are greater than the revenue that will be earned
from it.
The unavoidable costs of fulfilling contract obligations will
include both direct and indirect costs.
The creation of an additional provision is recognised
immediately in profit and loss. The provision is used to offset
subsequent costs incurred as the contract moves to completion.

from contracts with customers.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for sales of
vanadium flow battery systems in the ordinary course of business.
Trade receivables do not bear interest and generally have 30-day
payment terms and therefore are all classified as current.

obligation representing the liability to pay.
