Chairperson's Report

Dear Shareholders,

Introduction

I am pleased to present an update to shareholders of Genflow Biosciences Plc ("Genflow" or the "Company") on our performance for 2025.

As at 31 December 2025, Genflow has delivered a period of significant operational and strategic progress across both its Human Health and Animal Health divisions, advancing our mission to extend health span through our proprietary SIRT6 centenarian-based gene therapy platform. The period has been characterised by meaningful clinical, scientific, financial, and intellectual property achievements, reinforcing our confidence in the strength of our platform and our commitment to delivering long-term shareholder value.

Animal Health: Canine Clinical Trial Progressing as Planned

Our ongoing SLAB (Sarcopenia and Longevity in Aged Beagles) clinical trial targeting health span and sarcopenia, conducted in partnership with Syngene, continues to progress according to plan.  This randomized, blinded, controlled study includes 28 beagle dogs aged 10 years and older, with treatment cohorts having receiving three different modalities of SIRT6 gene therapy. We are encouraged by interim clinical data from the study, received in early 2026, with all dogs continuing to be monitored and evaluated and completion expected by the end of July 2026.

These early findings support the biological rationale for SIRT6-based interventions in ageing canine populations and provide valuable translational insights for our broader human health pipeline, particularly in sarcopenia. In parallel, we have initiated preliminary partnering discussions with leading animal health companies, reflecting growing industry interest in this programme and its commercial potential.

Human Health Pipeline

Our human health pipeline spans metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), sarcopenia, Werner syndrome, and ophthalmology. During the period, we made notable progress across several of these programmes.

In ophthalmology, we formally initiated our glaucoma programme in collaboration with IRIS Pharma, a leading contract research organisation specialising in ocular pharmacology. This partnership represents an important step in translating our preclinical SIRT6 findings into a structured drug development programme focused on optic nerve neuroprotection. While current glaucoma treatments primarily target intraocular pressure, they do not prevent retinal ganglion cell loss. Our approach, supported by preclinical evidence of SIRT6-mediated neuroprotection, has the potential to deliver disease-modifying benefits in a global market valued at approximately USD 9 billion.

In sarcopenia, we have continued to advance the programme aimed at combating age-related muscle loss, leveraging translational data generated from our canine studies to strengthen the foundation for future clinical development. This remains a strategically important programme given the significant unmet medical need and the absence of approved pharmacological therapies.

Delivery Technology: Transition to LNP/mRNA Platforms

A key strategic milestone during the year was the transition from AAV-based delivery systems to LNP/mRNA technologies, enabled through collaborations with leading LNP technology partners.

This shift represents a meaningful advancement in our delivery approach. LNP/mRNA platforms offer enhanced manufacturability, a well-established safety profile supported by approved vaccines and therapeutics, and the potential for repeat dosing-an important advantage in the treatment of chronic, age-related conditions. These collaborations position Genflow to access best-in-class delivery solutions and accelerate clinical translation across our pipeline.

Intellectual Property: Advancement to National Phase

We have made significant progress in advancing our core patent portfolio into the national phase across multiple jurisdictions. This milestone strengthens our global intellectual property position and underpins the long-term commercial value of the Genflow platform. Expanding patent protection in key territories enhances our freedom to operate and ensures robust protection of our proprietary SIRT6 centenarian innovations as we advance towards clinical-stage development.

Funding

In October 2024, we received official confirmation from the Wallonia region of €4,026,525 in non-dilutive funding to support the continued development of our lead gene therapy candidate, GF-1002, for the treatment of Metabolic Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). The Wallonia region's financial support highlights the growing recognition of Genflow's innovative work in gene therapy. The first tranche of this payment was received early 2026.

The financial support comprises non-reimbursable research grants and a recoverable advance, repayable to the Wallonia region upon commercialisation. This funding, is expected to cover three years of Genflow's development program for GF-1002, with the first instalment being received as working capital and is receivable subject to Genflow meeting certain capital requirements.

Further strengthening the Company's financial position and increasing its institutional investor base, the Company completed three placings and subscriptions raising a total of £1,374,084 (before expenses) during 2025.

The Company completed a further fund raise in March 2026 totalling £800,000 (before expenses), in order to support the advancement of the Company's scientific programs and to provide sufficient cash runway, enabling the Company to engage in potential future licensing negotiations from a strong position.

This continued financial support reflects both the strength of our pipeline and the confidence of our investor base in Genflow's strategic direction. The Company remains debt-free.

Financial Overview

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had cash reserves of £111,792 (2024: £278,682) and was debt free.

Group administration expenses for the 2025 year totalled £2,003,171 (2024: £1,907,706) which consisted of professional, legal and consulting fees of £298,479 (2024: £188,522) and PR and marketing costs of £92,891 (2024: £97,049). Expenditure on research and development was £1,110,486 for the year (2024: £1,151,462), all of which has been recognised as an expense due to the Group being in the research phase.

During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company recognised grant income of £585,607 (2024: £320,471) relating to the three non-dilutive and non-reimbursable research grants from the Government of Wallonia in Belgium's Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), the remaining proportion of the €777,281 cash received in 2024 in relation to the research grants will be recognised as grant income when the corresponding expenditure has been incurred. In addition, €303,212 (£264,352) of accrued income has been recognised in the year against current year R&D expenditure.

Other comprehensive Income was charged with a translation loss of £38,911 (2024: £20,934) upon converting the subsidiary's results for the year since acquisition to GBP.

Forward look

Looking ahead, Genflow enters the next phase of development with a strengthened platform, a diversified and advancing pipeline, and enhanced delivery and intellectual property capabilities.

Our key priorities include completing the ongoing canine clinical trial and leveraging the resulting translational data, advancing the glaucoma programme with IRIS Pharma towards preclinical proof-of-concept, progressing the sarcopenia programme towards clinical readiness, and expanding our LNP/mRNA collaboration framework.

By combining scientific excellence with disciplined capital allocation, we believe Genflow is well positioned to deliver sustainable value for all stakeholders.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders, partners, and employees for their continued support as we work to translate SIRT6 science into therapies that improve lives.

Strategic Report

Introduction

We are a pre-clinical biotechnology company committed to using gene therapy technologies to develop drugs that potentially halt, slow or reverse the aging process. Our products will aim to improve the health span (living healthier for longer) and potentially, life expectancy. Our objective is to develop gene therapies that address the growing medical need to prevent and delay age-related diseases by using lipid nanoparticles ("LNP") vectors to deliver copies of a SIRT6 gene variant found in Centenarians.

Research and Development Update

The year ended 31 December 2025 represents a watershed period for Genflow Biosciences. Our two most advanced human health programmes - MASH (GF-1002) and Sarcopenia (GF-1005) - delivered substantive scientific milestones, while two strategically important new work programmes were formally initiated: a glaucoma programme in ophthalmology and an animal health canine trial. Together, they extend the reach of our proprietary SIRT6 centenarian platform and materially broaden the pipeline's risk-adjusted value.

Underlying all of this progress is a platform decision of enduring significance: the transition of our gene delivery technology from adeno-associated virus (AAV) to messenger RNA formulated in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA/LNP). This transition, described in detail below, strengthens the scientific, clinical, and commercial foundations of every programme in our portfolio and positions Genflow as a next-generation therapeutic company aligned with the most clinically validated delivery technology in modern medicine.

Platform Technology: The Strategic Transition to mRNA/LNP Delivery

The decision to migrate from AAV-based delivery to mRNA formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNP) is the single most consequential scientific and strategic development of the year. It affects every human health programme in our pipeline and substantially improves the clinical and commercial prospects of the Company.

Why AAV was a constraint

Adeno-associated virus vectors have been widely used in gene therapy for their ability to transduce cells effectively. However, they carry a fundamental biological limitation that is particularly acute in chronic and degenerative disease: immunogenicity. After a first administration, the immune system generates antibodies against the AAV capsid that neutralise subsequent doses. In practice, this means AAV therapies are one-shot treatments - re-dosing is precluded. For diseases such as MASH, sarcopenia, and glaucoma, where the therapeutic effect of transient gene expression must be maintained over time, this constraint is not merely inconvenient; it is clinically disqualifying.

Why mRNA/LNP is the right solution

mRNA/LNP platforms circumvent these limitations entirely. The mRNA molecule does not integrate into the genome, is expressed transiently, and is cleared naturally by the cell - meaning repeat administration is immunologically feasible and clinically established. The LNP delivery vehicle has been validated at unprecedented scale through approved mRNA vaccines and therapies, giving regulators and investors a mature and well-characterised safety and manufacturing dataset to draw upon.

The advantages of this platform transition are broad and compounding:

• Re-administrability: Patients can receive repeat dosing as clinically required, enabling sustained therapeutic benefit across chronic disease indications - a fundamental requirement that AAV cannot meet.

• Improved safety profile: The absence of genomic integration eliminates the theoretical risk of insertional mutagenesis. mRNA is degraded by endogenous cellular machinery within days of administration, providing a pharmacologically controllable and reversible mechanism of action.

• Superior manufacturability and cost: mRNA synthesis and LNP formulation are amenable to highly scalable, cell-free production processes. Manufacturing timelines are shorter, batch-to-batch reproducibility is higher, and cost of goods is substantially lower than viral vector production - factors that directly support commercial viability and out-licensing economics.

• Regulatory precedent and acceptance: Multiple mRNA/LNP products have received regulatory approval globally. The pathways are established, the analytical frameworks are defined, and the regulatory dialogue is more predictable than for novel viral vectors. This materially de-risks Genflow's path to IND and beyond.

• Platform versatility: The same LNP formulation architecture can be adapted across multiple therapeutic payloads and target tissues - enabling Genflow to leverage investment in CMC and analytical development across its entire pipeline, generating economies of scale unavailable under a AAV-based approach.

This transition has been secured through collaborations with top-tier LNP technology companies, ensuring that Genflow has access to best-in-class formulation expertise and intellectual property. The CMC development programme is fully structured around the mRNA/LNP architecture, from IVT optimisation and mRNA process development through to LNP formulation screening, analytical characterisation, and stability studies.

MASH - GF-1002

GF-1002 is Genflow's lead human health asset and the programme that best exemplifies our platform's potential to address high-value, high-unmet-need indications. During 2025, we progressed into the pre-IND phase of preclinical development, a milestone that marks the transition from exploratory science to structured regulatory-grade development.

Disease context and commercial opportunity

MASH has undergone a significant market restructuring following the recent approvals of GLP-1 receptor agonists and resmetirom for earlier-stage disease. Approximately two-thirds of the MASH population now has access to approved therapies. However, for the remaining one-third, those with advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, no approved pharmacological option exists beyond liver transplantation. This is the population Genflow is targeting with GF-1002.

The commercial rationale is compelling. Advanced MASH is a smaller but highly concentrated patient population with extreme disease severity, high willingness to pay, and a near-total absence of alternatives. It represents a premium pricing environment for a disease-modifying therapy, with the additional strategic benefit that success in advanced disease naturally supports line extension into earlier-stage prevention of HCC and fibrosis progression.

Scientific rationale for SIRT6c in MASH

SIRT6 is a nuclear deacylase with well-documented roles in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, suppressing hepatic inflammation, and attenuating fibrogenic signalling. In centenarian individuals, variants of SIRT6 demonstrate enhanced enzymatic activity compared to the common form, conferring a greater capacity to counteract the metabolic dysregulation that drives MASH progression. GF-1002 delivers the centenarian form of SIRT6 (SIRT6c) to hepatocytes, where it acts on multiple pathways simultaneously: reducing lipotoxicity, suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling, and inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells that drive fibrosis.

The transition to mRNA/LNP delivery is particularly advantageous for GF-1002. LNPs exhibit strong natural hepatotropism, they are taken up preferentially by the liver following systemic administration, making them ideally suited to a hepatic indication without the need for complex targeting engineering. This biological tropism reduces off-target exposure and supports a favourable therapeutic window.

Regulatory pathway and next steps

The pre-IND programme is structured to generate the safety, efficacy, biodistribution, and CMC data required to support an Investigational New Drug application. Prior to initiating GMP manufacturing, Genflow will ensure full regulatory compliance across all dossier components, including a complete Module 3.2 CMC package and the non-clinical pharmacology and toxicology dataset, to reinforce confidence among partners, investors, and regulatory agencies. Our ambition is to be positioned to initiate the first proof-of-concept clinical study in MASH patients within the planned programme timelines.

Sarcopenia - GF-1005

Our sarcopenia programme is advancing with increasing scientific momentum and represents one of the most strategically attractive opportunities in our portfolio. Age-related muscle loss, sarcopenia, affects an estimated 10-20% of adults over 60 worldwide, with prevalence rising sharply beyond 70. It is associated with falls, fractures, metabolic deterioration, and loss of independence, generating enormous healthcare costs. No approved pharmacological therapy exists, making this a genuinely open field for a first-mover with mechanistic credibility.

Scientific approach: targeting mitochondrial dysfunction

The scientific focus of GF-1005 is the restoration of mitochondrial health in skeletal muscle as the primary mechanism for reversing sarcopenic decline. Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognised as a central, causative driver of sarcopenia, not merely a correlate. Impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, elevated reactive oxygen species, and defective mitophagy collectively compromise the energy economy of muscle cells, accelerating atrophy and impairing regenerative capacity.

SIRT6 plays a critical role in mitochondrial regulation: it modulates the expression of PGC-1α, the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, and suppresses oxidative stress pathways that damage mitochondrial membranes. By delivering the centenarian variant of SIRT6, with its enhanced enzymatic activity, directly to muscle progenitor cells, GF-1005 aims to restore the mitochondrial capacity of ageing muscle at its cellular source.

Current programme status

The loading of myoblast progenitor cells (myoblasts) with centSIRT6 is currently underway in active collaboration with our academic partner, the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). Myoblasts, the stem-like precursors of mature muscle fibres, represent an ideal therapeutic target: they retain proliferative capacity and, when appropriately stimulated, generate new, functional muscle tissue. Delivery of centSIRT6 to this population offers the prospect of durable, regeneration-based benefit rather than merely symptomatic relief.

The translational data generated through our parallel canine sarcopenia clinical trial (described below) is directly informing the design of future human preclinical studies, providing a uniquely rich cross-species dataset to support the biological hypothesis and the dosing rationale for GF-1005.

Ophthalmology - GF-1006 (Glaucoma)

During 2025, Genflow formally initiated its glaucoma programme in collaboration with IRIS Pharma, a leading contract research organisation with deep expertise in ocular pharmacology and regulatory strategy for ophthalmic indications. This partnership provides Genflow with access to specialist preclinical infrastructure and a structured path to regulatory-grade data generation.

The unmet need and our differentiated approach

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, affecting over 80 million people. Current standard-of-care treatments, predominantly prostaglandin analogues and beta-blockers, focus exclusively on reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). While effective at slowing progression in some patients, IOP reduction does not prevent the continued degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the optic nerve, which is the process that ultimately produces blindness. A significant proportion of patients continue to lose vision despite well-controlled IOP.

Genflow's approach offers a fundamentally different and potentially transformative therapeutic proposition. Preclinical evidence demonstrates that SIRT6 overexpression protects retinal ganglion cells from apoptosis and preserves optic nerve structural integrity, acting through mechanisms distinct from IOP modulation. This positions GF-1006 as a potential neuroprotective therapy , the first of its kind, that could be used adjunctively with existing IOP-lowering treatments or as a standalone disease-modifying agent in pressure-independent disease. The global glaucoma therapeutics market is valued at approximately USD 9 billion and is projected to reach USD 12-14 billion by the early 2030s, driven by ageing demographics and the inadequacy of current treatment paradigms.

Delivery technology advantage

The eye is an immunologically privileged site with specific requirements for delivery vehicle design. The mRNA/LNP platform, adapted for ocular administration through GF-1006's non-viral vector architecture, offers significant advantages over AAV in this context: it avoids the immune-mediated inflammatory responses that limit AAV re-dosing in the vitreous and subretinal space, and it allows for a controlled, transient duration of expression appropriate for ongoing therapeutic management of a chronic degenerative condition.

Animal Health: Canine Clinical Trial

Complementing our human health programmes, Genflow is pioneering the application of SIRT6-based gene therapy in veterinary medicine. Our canine healthspan and sarcopenia clinical trial, conducted in partnership with the independent CRO Syngene, involves 28 beagle dogs aged 10 years and older treated with SIRT6cent, our naked DNA construct optimised for companion animal use.

The trial continues to progress according to plan. Interim clinical data are encouraging, supporting the biological rationale for SIRT6-based intervention in ageing canine populations. The endpoints, focused on muscle function, body composition, and broader healthspan indicators, are generating a translational dataset of direct relevance to our human sarcopenia programme, where analogous mechanisms of age-related muscle decline operate.

Beyond its scientific value, the animal health programme has attracted meaningful commercial interest: we have initiated confidential discussions with several leading animal health companies under CDA, reflecting growing industry recognition of the opportunity to address age-related decline in companion animals - a market that has expanded rapidly as pet ownership deepens and owners increasingly seek advanced veterinary interventions. The companion animal health sector represents a commercially attractive and near-term revenue opportunity that complements our longer-cycle human health development activities.

Outlook for 2026

Genflow enters 2026 with a strengthened scientific platform, a broader and more de-risked pipeline, and a delivery technology infrastructure that is well aligned with the direction of the field. Our near-term priorities are as follows:

• GF-1002 (MASH): Complete the pre-IND CMC and non-clinical package and advance toward IND filing and first-in-patient proof-of-concept study.

• GF-1005 (Sarcopenia): Progress myoblast loading studies with ULB and design a formal preclinical efficacy programme informed by canine trial data.

• GF-1006 (Ophthalmology/Glaucoma): Advance the IRIS Pharma collaboration toward preclinical proof-of-concept data in established retinal ganglion cell protection models.

• Animal Health: Complete the canine trial, generate full efficacy dataset, and progress partnering discussions with leading animal health companies.

• LNP/mRNA Platform: Continue to expand our collaborative framework with top-tier LNP technology companies to support manufacturing scale-up and cross-programme efficiency.

• Intellectual Property: Continue national phase prosecution across key geographies and expand the patent estate in line with new programme developments.

We are confident that 2026 will be a year of further, tangible milestones - advancing Genflow toward its ultimate purpose: delivering therapies that extend healthy life for patients with age-related and degenerative diseases.

Intellectual Property

During 2025, Genflow advanced its core patent estate to national phase in multiple key geographies, including Europe and Japan. National phase entry across major jurisdictions strengthens our freedom to operate and our ability to protect the innovations central to each of our programmes as they progress toward clinical-stage development.

In October 2025, the Company filed a second European patent application titled "SIRT6 Variant for NASH". In April 2026, the Company filed another patent application entitled "Variants of Sirtuin 6 for the Treatment of Muscular Diseases.".

The breadth of our IP position, spanning the centenarian SIRT6 variant itself, its delivery formulations, and its therapeutic applications across multiple disease indications, represents a significant barrier to competition and a material contributor to Genflow's licensing and partnership value proposition.

Investment To Date

The Company has an agreement with the Wallonia region in Southern Belgium to receive a non-dilutive research grant award of up to €4m with NASH. In March 2026, the Company confirmed receipt of the first instalment in respect of the three-year development programme totalling €304,587.

Additionally, the Company's research with Revatis SA and EXO Biologics is supported by substantial non-diluting and non-reimbursable research grants by the Government of Wallonia in Belgium, of which a combined total of €1.55m is available to be drawn upon, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Half of the total grant was received by Genflow BE in 2024, and the remaining balance is due to be received in 2026, subject to working capital requirements.

Funding for the two research programs, as part of the Wallonia Recovery Plan by the Walloon Government in Belgium, will be disbursed annually to the Company, contingent upon Genflow and its collaborators achieving specific, activity-based milestones.

The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB)

Genflow has established, what the Directors believe is, a strong scientific advisory board ("SAB") experienced in the field of longevity.

The role of the SAB is to provide the Company with specific guidance on its research & development programmes. Furthermore, the Company can benefit from constant external perspectives which the members of the SAB can bring to steer its research & development strategies.

Organisational Progress

Since incorporation, the Company has made progress in its commitment to best practice in Corporate Governance.

The Company is proud to uphold a good standard of corporate governance by putting in place: 

· An effective board of directors that is collectively responsible for ensuring success in the long term, led by a chairperson who is committed to continuous improvement

· A board that features a balance of competencies, experience, diversity, company knowledge and independence

· Directors that are able to dedicate sufficient time to their responsibilities, receive a great induction and have the opportunity to regularly update their skillset

· Regular evaluation of the board performance as well as that of the individual directors and committees.

The Company's Corporate Governance policy has been further detailed in the Corporate Governance Report on page 19.

Being a great place to work

Underlying our strategy, is our dedication to ensuring we are able to attract and retain great talent by being, and remaining, a great place to work. As our business develops, we believe our success will require ideas that can only come from people encouraged to be themselves at work, enabled to contribute to their full potential, and empowered to challenge conventional thinking.

For us, that means being an inclusive and diverse workplace, attracting and retaining the best people. Genflow's current staff base is made up of Directors and contractors, however we plan to take on more employees as we grow, and we are committed to implementing the aforementioned strategy from the start of our journey.

Diversity Statement

The Company's culture allows and encourages every person to make a unique and positive contribution to the organisation irrespective of their differences. The Company encourages contributions from all groups and actively seeks to maintain a diverse board of Directors, which will in turn be reflected in its workforce when the Company begins to recruit.

Roles by gender

In 2025, 20% of the board was made up of women. As the Company grows and develops it is eager to increase its gender diversity by appointing more women to its Board, adding new perspectives and contributions. However, at present, the Board and Company remains fairly small and only meets one out of two gender diversity targets set by the Listing Rules. 

Gad Berdugo was appointed as Non-Executive chairperson in January 2026 therefore, has not been included within the above.

Roles by ethnicity

As at the date of this report, one sixth of the Company's board is formed of individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds, as defined by the Listing Rules.

Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs")

The Board monitors the activities and performance of the Group on a regular basis. The Board uses financial indicators based on budget versus actual to assess the performance of the Group. The indicators set out below will be used by the Board to assess performance.

The main financial KPI for the Group at this stage is the level of cash and cash equivalents. Non-financial KPIs are more relevant at this stage, in line with the monitoring of progress of key milestones in the R&D phase.

These below key KPIs allow the Board to monitor costs and plan future research and development activities.

Due to the Group being in the early stages of research and development, it is yet to reach its key milestones such as completing clinical trials. However, the Group continues to hit soft-milestones as its journey progresses.

Statement by the Directors in performance of their statutory duties in accordance with s172(1) of the Companies Act 2006

The Director's believe they have acted in the way most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, as required by s172(1) of the Companies Act 2006. The requirements of s172 are for the Directors to:

· Consider the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;

· Act fairly between the members of the Company;

· Maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct;

· Consider the interests of the Group's employees;

· Foster the Group's relationships with suppliers and others; and

· Consider the impact of the Group's operations on the community and environment.

The application of the s172 requirements are demonstrated throughout this report and the financial statements as a whole, with the following examples representing some of the key decisions made in 2025 and up to the date of the approval of these financial statements:

Operating Risks and Uncertainties

Set out below are the key operating risks and uncertainties affecting the Group.

Research and development risk

The Group operates in the biotechnology development sectors and carries out complex scientific research. If the research, preclinical testing or clinical trials of any of its product candidates fail, meaning that these candidates will not be licensed or marketed, this would result in a complete absence of revenue from these failed candidates. Additionally, any positive results from trials carried out on animals may not necessarily transfer to humans. For example, the mouse model study for Werner Syndrome cannot yet be seen to be fully reliable.

Mitigation: The Group minimises this risk by continually seeking to broaden its drug candidate portfolio. Furthermore, the Group establishes a culture of collaboration with other research organisations with complementary expertise. Translational projects, such as pre-clinical development of SIRT6-AAV, require the integration of many scientific disciplines and breaking down of the 'cultural' barriers that sometimes exist between the disciplines.

Timeline risk

Failure can occur at any stage of clinical development and, as a result, enforced delays to the clinical development plan could hinder or prevent commercialisation of the Group's product candidates. Many markets where the Group intends to market its future products, including the US, Europe and Asia, expect proposed new pharmaceutical products to pass stringent standards. As a result, clinical trial design is extremely important, but costly and time-consuming, in order to satisfy national government regulatory authorities, clinical investigators, hospital ethics committees, institutional review boards, customers and distributors.

Mitigation:  The Group intends to minimise this risk by retaining the skills and knowledge of the Scientific Advisory Board and monitoring R&D progress against budget and millstones. The Group will also apply for Orphan Drug Designation which provides a form of scientific advice, allowing sponsors to get answers to their questions on the types of studies needed to demonstrate the medicine's quality, benefits and risks, and information on the significant benefit of the medicine.

Risks related to future funding requirements

The funds raised by the Group, plus the Wallonia Grants, are intended to support the Group's pre-clinical development activities. Additional capital will have to be raised to support clinical trial activities through established and highly-regulated pathways to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of each of its products before applications can be made to individual countries or markets. Furthermore, such clinical trials are typically expensive, complex and can take considerable time to complete. 

Whilst the Company believes that it has access to sufficient funds to enable it to undertake all work preparatory to large animal studies over the next 18 months, the Group will need to raise further funds to complete the development and commercialisation of its products and to proceed with any future product candidates.

Mitigation: The Board keeps close control over budgeted vs actual expenditure to minimise over spending and to track progress against milestones. The Group will also continually seek alternative funding such as grants. The Group also has further equity fund raises at its disposal, however, it cannot be guaranteed that further funding from investors will be available when required.

Risk related to dependence on key personnel

The Group is highly dependent on the expertise and experience of the Directors and the Scientific Advisory Board and, in particular, Dr Eric Leire and Dr Vera Gorbunova. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel (such as Dr Eric Leire and Dr Vera Gorbunova), consultants and advisers with the relevant gene therapy expertise will be important to its success.

Mitigation: The Group minimises this risk by bringing additional competencies within the management team, offering an attractive remuneration package for members and key personnel. Furthermore, the Group is entering into scientific collaborations with organisations in the UK, Europe and USA which allows the Group to utilise the experience of personnel within these organisations.

The Exclusive Licence Agreement risk

The success of the Group's business is highly dependent upon the Exclusive Licence granted to Genflow BE by the University of Rochester. Under the terms of the Exclusive Licence Agreement, Genflow BE is required to maintain high standards and meet various development milestones and expenditure requirements. 

If the Group fails to meet its obligations under the Exclusive Licence Agreement, or if the Exclusive Licence is terminated for any reason, it could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Mitigation: The Group put in place a mitigation strategy upon entering into the License Agreement by designing a licensing agreement that aligns the interests of all parties involved. Furthermore, the licensee's obligations included in the agreement are realistic and proportionate to meet with appropriate monitoring by the Board. 

IP risk

There is no guarantee that the patent applications will result in granted patents or provide the appropriate level of protection. The Exclusive Licence granted to Genflow BE pursuant to the Exclusive Licence Agreement is conditional upon the success of the GF-1002 patent application. The commercial success of the Group is dependent, in part, on non-infringement of patents by other third parties. An adverse judgment against the Group may give rise to significant liability in monetary damages, legal fees and a requirement to cease manufacturing, marketing or selling products.

Mitigation: A constant monitoring of third parties' activities by IP counsel will reduce this risk and enable the Group to quickly react in case of infringement. Moreover, the Group has the right to file infringement complaints with the courts and to defend its patent rights.

Directors' Report

The Directors present their Report, together with the Group financial statements and Independent Auditor's Report, for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Principal Activities and Business Review

The Company is a preclinical biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative biological interventions (namely gene therapies) which are aimed at tackling the effects of aging, potentially slowing or halting the aging process and so reducing the incidence of age-related diseases and thereby increasing health span.

A detailed review of the business of the Group during the year and an indication of likely future developments may be found in the Chairperson's Statement on page 3.

Principal risks and uncertainties are discussed on page 12.

Section 172 of The Companies Act has been considered in the Strategic Report on page 5. The Board is committed to consideration of all stakeholders in their decision making and conduct of the Group's business.

Results and Dividends

The loss of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2025 from continued operations amounts to £1,417,564 (2024: £1,587,235).

The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year.

Directors

The Directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

Gad Berdugo (appointed 14 January 2026)

Eric Leire

Tamara Joseph

Peter King-Lewis

Guy-Charles Fanneau De La Horie

Yassine Bendiabdallah

Directors' Interests

The Directors, who served during the year ended 31 December 2025, had the following beneficial interests in the shares of the Company at year end:

(1) Eric's wife, Ms J Pattison, holds 150,360 Ordinary Shares. 

Substantial Shareholdings 

The Company is aware that, as at 30 April 2026, other than the Directors, the interests of Shareholders holding three per cent or more of the issued share capital of the Company were as shown in the table below:

Political Contribution

The Group did not make any contributions to political parties during the year.

Corporate Responsibility

Environmental

As a development stage biotechnology business, the Group's operations are at a relatively small scale. As such, the Group's environmental impact is relatively small when compared with larger businesses in the sector. Nevertheless, the Board recognises its responsibility to protect the environment (particularly as the business scales up) and is fully committed to conserving natural resources and striving for environmental sustainability, by ensuring that its facilities (and the facilities of academic and contracted collaborators) are operated to optimise energy usage; minimise waste production; and protect nature and people.

TCFD recommendations serve as a global foundation for effective climate-related disclosures and set out recommended disclosures structured under four core elements of how companies operate:

o  Governance - The organisation's governance around climate-related risks and opportunities;

o  Strategy - The actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities for an organisation's businesses, strategy, and financial planning;

o  Risk Management - The processes used by the organisation to identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks; and

o  Metrics and Targets - The metrics and targets used to assess and manage relevant climate-related risks and opportunities.

These are supported by recommended disclosures that build on the framework with information intended to help investors and others understand how reporting companies assess climate-related risks and opportunities.

The table below shows the Group's current progress against the TCFD recommendations.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting

The Company used less than 40,000kWh of energy in the United Kingdom during 2025 and, therefore, does not report on energy consumption and emissions under the Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018.

Social

The Board is committed to creating a positive, inclusive and welcoming work environment for its employees, workers, job applicants and academic and business partners. The Group ensures that people receive equal treatment, regardless of gender, gender-identity, age, disability, religion, belief, political views, sexual orientation, marital status, nationality or race, physical or mental health.

The Directors believe that diversity is fundamental to the Group and to the success of developing innovative therapeutic treatments. The Board is committed to creating a diverse environment, where the rights and differences of everyone, directly or indirectly operating within the Group, are valued.

Health and safety

The Company operates a comprehensive health and safety programme which will seek to ensure the wellbeing and security of its employees once it begins to recruit. The Board will at all times work to ensure that the Group complies with the highest standards of ethical and safety standards. In addition, the Group uses hazardous, or potentially hazardous, chemical and biological materials during its research and development programmes. These materials are necessary for the core research activities undertaken by the Group. The Group is committed to ensuring that hazardous chemicals and biological materials are acquired, stored, transferred, modified, handled, and disposed of in a way that minimises any potential adverse effects to human health and to the environment. Their use is based on both an understanding of the hazards they present and on the corresponding controls aimed at managing the risk of exposure. The Group complies with the local and national guidelines in all matters of health and safety.

For scientific and regulatory reasons, animal studies remain a crucial part of the Group's work to deliver safe and effective therapies, which benefit animal and patients' health and the wellbeing of our society. At present it is not possible, either due to lack of suitable alternatives, or because animal studies are required by regulatory authorities, for the Group to eliminate the need for animal studies in its work. The Group recognises the ethical responsibility to treat all animals respectfully, while striving to minimise their pain or distress, and to avoid it completely when possible. To this end, the Group strictly complies with all applicable international and local legislation and regulatory guidelines and, furthermore, is committed to following the high standards of internationally recognised practices on the humane treatment of animals. The Group upholds and embraces the "3Rs" of animal research, namely:

· the replacement of animals when possible and/or acceptable;

· the reduction of the numbers of experiments and of animals required by each experiment; and

· the minimisation of pain and distress, by means of refinement of animal studies procedures.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The management of the business and the execution of the Group's strategy are subject to a number of risks. Risks are formally reviewed by the Board, and appropriate processes are put in place to monitor and mitigate them. The principal business risks affecting the Group are set out on page 12.

Financial Risk Management

The Group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, funding risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Group has a risk management programme in place that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency risk and, as such, no hedge accounting is applied.

Details of the Group's financial risk management policies are set out in Note 3 to the financial statements.

Internal Controls

The Board recognises the importance of both financial and non-financial controls and has reviewed the Group's control environment and any related shortfalls during the year. Since the Group was established, the Directors are satisfied that, given the current size and activities of the Group, adequate internal controls have been implemented. Whilst they are aware that no system can provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, in light of the current activity and proposed future development of the Group, continuing reviews of internal controls will be undertaken to ensure that they are adequate and effective.

Going Concern

The Directors, having due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Company has or will have access to sufficient funding in order to execute its operations over the next 12 months. The Directors therefore have made an informed judgment, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the annual financial statements. Further details on their assumptions and their conclusion thereon are included in the statement on going concern in Note 2.4 of the financial statements.

Directors' and Officers' Indemnity Insurance

During the financial year, the Company maintained insurance cover for its Directors and Officers under a Directors' and Officers' liability insurance policy. The Company has not provided any qualifying indemnity cover for the Directors.

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting year are set out in Note 22 to the financial statements.

Provision of Information to Auditor

So far as each of the Directors is aware at the time this report is approved:

· there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware; and

· the Directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

Auditor

PKF Littlejohn LLP has signified its willingness to continue in office as auditor.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulation.

Company law in the United Kingdom requires the Directors to prepare Group and Company financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that year. Additionally, the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules require the Directors to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted international financial reporting standards in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006; the Company financial statements are prepared on the same basis.

In preparing the Group and Company financial statements, the Directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group and company will continue in business.

So far as each Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware, and the Directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The maintenance and integrity of the Company's website is the responsibility of the Directors: the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Corporate Governance Report

The Group is not required to comply with the UK Code of Corporate Governance and has not voluntarily adopted it. However, the Directors recognise the importance of sound corporate governance and the Board intends, to the extent it considers appropriate in light of the Group's size, stage of development and resources, to implement certain corporate governance recommendations.

The Directors have responsibility for the overall corporate governance of the Group and recognise the need for the highest standards of behaviour and accountability. As such, the Company follows the QCA Corporate Governance Code as its code of corporate governance.

On 13 November 2023, the QCA published the latest version of its corporate governance code ("2023 Code") aimed at 'UK Growth companies'. The 2023 Code applies to financial years beginning on or after 1 April 2024, meaning the Company's first required year of compliance is the financial year being reported. The 2023 Code is published by the Quoted Companies Alliance ("QCA") and is available at www.theqca.com.

Corporate Governance Report

The QCA 2023 Code sets out 10 principles that should be applied. These are listed below together with a short explanation of how the Group and Company applies each of the principles:

Principle One

Business Model and Strategy

The Board has concluded that the highest medium and long term value can be delivered to its shareholders by the adoption of a focussed strategy for the Group.

The Group's strategy is to focus on the development of innovative biological interventions (namely gene therapies) which are aimed at tackling the effects of aging, potentially slowing or halting the aging process and so reducing the incidence of age-related diseases and thereby increasing health span. Further details on the Group strategy is set out in the Strategic Report on page 5.

Principle Two

Corporate Culture

The Board recognises that its decisions regarding strategy and risk will impact the corporate culture of the Company as a whole and that this will impact the performance of the Company. The Board is very aware that the tone and culture set by the Board will greatly impact all aspects of the Company as a whole and the way that its scientific advisory board members, research collaborators and employees behave. The corporate governance arrangements that the Board has adopted are designed to ensure that the Company delivers long term value to its shareholders and that shareholders have the opportunity to express their views and expectations for the Company in a manner that encourages open dialogue with the Board. A large part of the Company's activities are centred upon what needs to be an open and respectful dialogue with employees, clients and other stakeholders.

Therefore, the importance of sound ethical values and behaviours is crucial to the ability of the Company to successfully achieve its corporate objectives. The Directors believe that diversity is fundamental to the Group and to the success of developing innovative therapeutic treatments. The Board is committed to creating a diverse environment, where the rights and differences of everyone, directly or indirectly operating within the Group, are valued.

The Board places great importance on this aspect of corporate life and seeks to ensure that this flows through all that the Company does. The Directors consider that at present the Company has an open culture facilitating comprehensive dialogue and feedback and enabling positive and constructive challenge. The Company has adopted, with effect from the date of Admission, a code for Directors' and employees' dealings in securities which is appropriate for a company whose securities are traded and is in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation which came into effect in 2016.

Issues of bribery and corruption are taken seriously, The Company has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and has an anti-bribery and corruption policy in place to protect the Company, its employees and those third parties to which the business engages with. The policy is provided to staff upon joining the business and training is provided to ensure that all employees within the business are aware of the importance of preventing bribery and corruption. Each employment contract specifies that the employee will comply with the policies. There are strong financial controls across the business to ensure ongoing monitoring and early detection.

Principle Three

Understanding Shareholder Needs and Expectations

The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders. Shareholders are encouraged to attend the Company's Annual General Meeting. Investors also have access to current information on the Company though its website, www.genflowbio.com, and via communication with Directors, in particular, Eric Leire, (Chief Executive Officer) who is responsible for shareholder liaison. The Company is also engaged with the investor relation consulting and support firm, Harbor Access to provide assistance with their communication with shareholders.

The Company's annual report, Notice of Annual General Meetings (AGM) is sent to all shareholders and can be downloaded from the Company's website. Copies of the interim report and other investor presentations are available on the Company's website.

At the AGM, separate resolutions are proposed on each substantial issue. For each proposed resolution, proxy forms are issued which provide voting shareholders with an opportunity to vote in advance of the AGM if they are unable to vote in person. The Company's registrars count the proxy votes which are properly recorded and the results of the AGM are announced through regulatory news flow ("RNS") . The Board is keen to ensure that the voting decisions of shareholders are reviewed and monitored and that approvals sought at the Company's AGM are, as much as possible, within the recommended guidelines of the QCA Code.

Shareholders are kept up to date via RNS on matters of a material substance and regulatory nature. Periodic updates are provided to the market and any deviations to these updates are announced via RNS.

Non-deal roadshows may be arranged throughout the year to meet with existing shareholders and potential new stakeholders to maintain, as much as possible, transparency and dialogue with the market. Additionally investor presentations can be found on the Company's website.

Principle Four

Considering wider stakeholder and social responsibilities

The Board recognises that the long term success of the Company is reliant upon the efforts of the management and employees of the Company and its scientific advisory board, contractors, suppliers, regulators and other stakeholders. As the Group grows and develops, the Board have plans to put in place a range of processes and systems to ensure that there is close oversight and contact with its key resources and relationships. For example, all employees of the Company will participate in structured Company-wide annual assessment processes which are designed to ensure that there is an open and confidential dialogue with each person in the Company to help ensure successful two way communication with agreement on goals, targets and aspirations of the employee and the Company. The Board recognises that these feedback processes will help to ensure that the Company can respond to new issues and opportunities that arise to further the success of employees and the Company. The Company has close ongoing relationships with a broad range of its stakeholders and provides them with the opportunity to raise issues and provide feedback to the Company.

Principle Five

Risk Management

In addition to its other roles and responsibilities, the Audit Committee is responsible to the Board for ensuring that procedures are in place and are being implemented effectively to identify, evaluate and manage the significant risks faced by the Company. The risk assessment matrix below sets out those risks, and identifies their ownership and the controls that are in place. This matrix is updated as changes arise in the nature of risks or the controls that are implemented to mitigate them. The Audit Committee reviews the risk matrix and the effectiveness of scenario testing on a regular basis. The following principal risks and controls to mitigate them, have been identified:

The Directors have established procedures, as represented by this statement, for the purpose of providing a system of internal control. An internal audit function is not considered necessary or practical due to the size of the Company and the close day to day control exercised by the Executive Director. However, the Board will continue to monitor the need for an internal audit function. The Board works closely with and has regular ongoing dialogue with the outsourced finance function and has established appropriate reporting and control mechanisms to ensure the effectiveness of its control systems.

Principle Six

A Well-Functioning Board of Directors

As at the date hereof, the Board comprises, an Executive Director: Eric Leire, a Non-Executive Chairperson: Gad Berdugo and four Non-Executive Directors: Tamara Joseph, Yassine Bendiabdallah, Peter King-Lewis and Guy-Charles Fanneau de la Horie.

Details of the current Directors are set out within Principle Seven below. Executive and Non-Executive Directors are subject to re-election at intervals as set out in the Company's articles of association (Article 29.1). The service agreement and letters of appointment of all Directors are available for inspection on reasonable notice at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.

The Board has quarterly Board meetings. The Company has established an Audit Committee, the members of which are included in Principle Seven below. A Remuneration Committee and Nomination Committee has also been established and seeks to follow the guiding principles laid out by the Quoted Company Alliance (QCA). No Board member may influence decisions relating to their own specific remuneration.

Dr Bendiabdallah, Mr Berdugo, Ms Joseph, Dr Fanneau De La Horie and Dr King-Lewis are considered to be Independent Directors and as such, the Company is in compliance with the requirement to have a minimum of two independent non-executive directors on its Board. The Board notes that the expectation of the QCA Code is that the Chairperson will not have an executive capacity and that the role of the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") are not held by the same person. The Board shall review further appointments as scale and complexity grows.

The Company shall report annually on the number of Board and committee meetings held during the year and the attendance record of individual Directors. To date in the current financial year, the Directors have a 92% record of attendance at such meetings. Directors meet formally and informally both in person and by telephone. Formal board meetings held and attended during the year are detailed below:

Principle Seven

Appropriate Skills and Experience of the Directors

As at the date of this report, the Board consists of six Directors and, in addition, the Company engages the services of Westend Corporate LLP to act as the Company Secretary and to provide general financial and corporate assistance. The Company believes that the current balance of skills in the Board as a whole, reflects a very broad range of commercial and professional skills across geographies and industries and three of the Directors have experience in public markets.

The Board shall review annually the appropriateness and opportunity for continuing professional development whether formal or informal.

Principle Eight

Evaluate Board performance based on clear and relevant objectives, seeking continuous improvement

The results and recommendations that come out of the appraisals for the Directors shall identify the key corporate and financial targets that are relevant to each Director and their personal targets in terms of career development and training. Progress against previous targets shall also be assessed where relevant.

Audit Committee Report

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to present the Group's Audit Committee report for the year to 31 December 2025.

Meeting Attendance 

The Audit Committee met twice in 2025, both with the Company's auditors in attendance. Y Bendiabdallah chaired the meetings and the Committee's second board member T Joseph attended.

After the year-end, Y Bendiabdallah stepped down as chair of the Committee and from 2026 onwards, the Audit Committee will be chaired by G Fanneau de la Horie.

Composition of the Audit Committee

In line with the QCA, the Committee comprises two independent Non-Executive Directors, including the Chair. The members of the Audit Committee are G Fanneau de la Horie, Y Bendiabdallah and T Joseph. All current members of the Audit Committee have held, or currently hold, board-level positions in Biotech with international reach.

The Audit Committee's membership, as a whole, has competence relevant to the sector in which the Group operates and is able to function effectively with the appropriate degree of challenge.

Committee Duties 

The Audit Committee is committed to:

· Monitoring the integrity of the financial statements and financial performance; 

· Reviewing financial statements, significant financial returns to regulators and any financial information of a sensitive nature; 

· Reviewing and challenging internal financial controls and risk management systems including the review of matters of a non-financial nature, including environmental matters; 

· Reviewing and challenging accounting policies, accounting methods and adherence to accounting standards;

· Reviewing and making recommendation with regards to the external auditor, including appointment, independence, objectivity, effectiveness, performance and remuneration; 

· Consulting with the external auditor on the scope of their work and reviewing all major points arising from the audit; 

· Ensuring full functionality of the whistleblowing policy. 

External Auditor 

The external auditor, PKF Littlejohn LLP ("PKF"), was reappointed after consideration by the audit committee and scrutiny of its independence, objectivity and capabilities. The Audit Committee also received and reviewed a report from the external auditor setting out to its satisfaction how its independence and objectivity is safeguarded when providing non-audit services. The value of non-audit services provided by PKF in respect of the year ending 31 December 2025 amounted to £nil (2024: £nil). During the year, there were no circumstances where PKF was engaged to provide services prohibited by the FRC's Revised Ethical Standard (2019) or which might have led to a conflict of interest.

Financial Statements 

The Audit Committee reviewed and agreed the external auditor's strategy and approach in advance of their audit for the year ended 31 December 2025, and reviewed reports on the outcome of the audit.

Going Concern  

The Audit Committee reviews supporting papers from management to support the Going Concern statement set out in note 2.5 and the Directors report. This includes sensitivity analysis over key assumptions. Following this review, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board the approval of both statements.

Internal Audit 

The Group does not have a formal internal audit function due to the size of the Group and the low number of transactions during the year. The Audit Committee considers this is appropriate given the close involvement of the executive director and external accountant on a day-to-day basis. However, the need for an internal audit function will be kept under review by the Audit Committee on behalf of the Board. 

The Year Ahead

The Audit Committee is focused on maintaining a framework of internal control, the effectiveness of which will be regularly reviewed by the Audit Committee in light of an ongoing assessment of significant risks facing the Company and the Group. The Audit Committee is committed to assisting the Board in discharging its duties regarding the financial statements, accounting policies and the maintenance of proper internal business, and operational and financial controls.

This report was approved by the Board on 30 April 2026.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee Report

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to present the Group's Remuneration and Nomination Committee report for the year to 31 December 2025. 

Committee Composition and Meeting Attendance 

The Committee is made up of Independent, Non-Executive Directors and shall meet not less than twice in each financial year. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee last met on 22 May 2025, with the second Committee meeting deferred until Early 2026.

Committee Duties 

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for: 

· Determining and agreeing with the Board the framework or broad policy for the remuneration of the executive offices and other senior managers;

· Take into account all factors which it deems necessary including the level of the Company's remuneration relative to other companies to ensure that members of the company are provided with appropriate incentives to encourage enhanced performance and are, in a fair and reasonable manner, rewarded for their individual contributions to the success of the Company; and

· Determining each year whether awards will be made, and if so, the overall amounts of such awards, the individual awards to executive directors and other senior executives and the performance targets to be used. 

Remuneration Policy

Due to the Group being in the early stages of its journey and the Board's collective commitment to conserve cash, a bonus and incentive awards scheme does not form part of the executive or non-executive remuneration package. This will be kept under review by the Committee as the Group's activity progresses.

Directors notice periods

The Executive Director is subject to a twelve month notice period and all non-executive Directors are subject to a three month notice period.

Loss of office

None of the Directors contractually have claim to compensation for loss of office.

Base salary

The Committee's objective is to provide a competitive base salary reflective of the skills and experience of the relevant individual. These will be reviewed annually or on a significant change of responsibilities or change in market practice or a change in the size or complexity of the business. The Remuneration Committee also takes into account external market data and pay and employment conditions elsewhere in the Group and industry when considering increases to base salary levels. There are no performance criteria associated with receiving this benefit.

Pension

Pensions are provided to aid recruitment and retention by allowing the Directors to make provision for long-term retirement benefits. These are comparable with similar roles in similar companies. A Pension scheme has been set-up where by Directors receive 3% per cent of their base salary. There is no performance criteria associated with receiving this benefit.

Non-Executive Directors

Non-Executive Directors each receive a market rate basic fee, subject to time commitment requirements, for holding the office of Non-Executive Director which is set by the board as a whole.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Genflow Biosciences plc

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Genflow Biosciences Plc (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Consolidated and Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, the Consolidated and Company Cash Flow Statements and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UK-adopted international accounting standards and as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

In our opinion:

· the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the group's loss for the year then ended;

· the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards;

· the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and

· the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to note 2.4 in the financial statements, which indicates that for the Group and the company to continue to meet its research and development strategy, and to continue to meet its financial commitments across the going concern period, additional fundraising will be required. As stated in note 2.4, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.4 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors' assessment of the group's and parent company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included reviews of Management's assessment of their ability to continue as a going concern and made enquiries of management to confirm key assumptions made and drivers of the assessment. We evaluated the inputs to the cashflow forecast for reasonableness, including all grant income receivable and the recent equity fundraise. These proceeds have been used as the basis for the going concern assumption as they are expected to cover working capital for a period which will allow for further fundraising.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Our application of materiality

We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and performing our audit, and in evaluating the effect of misstatements. At the planning stage, materiality is used to determine the financial statement areas that are included within the scope of our audit and the extent of sample sizes during the audit. This is reviewed accordingly during fieldwork and completion dependent on adjustments made during the audit.

The group was audited to a level of materiality for the financial statements as a whole of £58,000 (2024 - £91,000), a benchmark calculated using 4% of the draft loss before tax of the group (2024 - 5% of loss before tax). We consider the loss before tax to be the most significant determinant of the group's financial position and performance used by shareholders and investors for the current period, with the significant balances in the period being the administrative expenditure and loss for the period.

The performance materiality applied at the group level was £40,000 (2024 - £63,000) and we have reported misstatements during our audit work above £2,900 (2024 - £4,000), as well as differences below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. The group performance materiality was set by us at 70% of materiality. This was deemed reasonable due to the relatively low level of transactions and simple nature of these transactions and also due to this being the fourth year we are performing the audit. Performance materiality was set to ensure sufficient coverage of the key balances.

The materiality applied to the parent company was £24,000 (2024 - £27,000) being 3% of the draft loss before tax. Loss before tax was deemed an appropriate benchmark for materiality calculation as it provides the best indication of annual performance during the research phase and given no development assets are capitalised. Performance materiality was £16,000 (2024 - £18,000) and this was set by us at 70% of materiality. This was deemed reasonable due to the relatively low level of transactions and simple nature of these transactions and also due to this being the fourth year we are performing the audit. We agreed with the audit committee that we would report any individual audit difference in excess of £1,200 (2024 - £1,000) for Genflow Biosciences Plc and differences below this threshold that, in our review, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.

No component auditors were used, and both subsidiaries were audited by the group audit team. Genflow Biosciences SRL was assessed as a significant component and was audited to a performance materiality of £32,000 (2024 - £43,000). We agreed with the audit committee that we would report any individual audit difference in excess of £2,900 (2024 - £3,000) for Genflow Biosciences SRL and differences below this threshold that, in our review, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion the part of the directors' remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

· the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

· the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

· in our opinion the part of the directors' remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

· adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

· the parent company financial statements and the part of the directors' remuneration report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

· certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

· we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the group and parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the group and parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

· We obtained an understanding of the group and parent company and the sector in which they operate to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We obtained our understanding in this regard through detailed discussions with management about and potential instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations both in the UK and in overseas subsidiaries. We also selected a specific audit team based on experience with auditing entities within this industry of a similar size.

· We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the group and parent company in this regard to be those arising from:

o  Main Market Listing Rules;

o  The Companies Act 2006;

o  UK Employment law;

o  The Prospectus Directive;

o  Anti Bribery Legislation;

o  Market Abuse Directive;

o  Financial Services and Market Act;

o  Disclosure and Transparency Rules;

o  Belgium and US law and company reporting requirements; and

o  Local tax and employment law.

· We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-compliance by the group and parent company with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but were not limited to:

o  Conducting inquiries of management and those charged with governance regarding potential instances of non-compliance;

o  Review of Board minutes and other correspondence from management;

o  Review of regulatory news service announcements; and

o  Review of legal and professional fees for evidence of any litigation or claims against the group.

These procedures were carried out for all entities within the group to ensure no instances of non-compliance within the parent company or any of its subsidiaries.

· We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. Aside from the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, we did not identify any significant fraud risks.

As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included, but were not limited to: testing over all journals on a risk based approach to identify any unusual transactions that could be indicative of fraud; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business; and reviewing transactions through the bank statements to identify potentially large or unusual transactions that do not appear to be in line with our understanding of business operations.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Other matters which we are required to address

We were appointed by the Audit Committee on 21 January 2022 to audit the financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2021 and subsequent financial periods. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is 5 years, covering the periods ending 31 December 2021 to 31 December 2025.

The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard were not provided to the group or the parent company and we remain independent of the group and the parent company in conducting our audit.

Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone, other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. General Information

The principal activity of Genflow Biosciences Plc ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") is the research and development of gene therapy targeting the upstream biology of aging.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company was incorporated on 18 January 2021 and commenced trading on this date.

The address of its registered office is 6 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BT.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1  Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006, which applies to companies generally.

The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006. The Group financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are presented in UK Pounds Sterling rounded to the nearest pound.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's Accounting Policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.

Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

(a) New and amended standards mandatory for the first time for the financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued various amendments and revisions to International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations. The amendments and revisions were applicable for the year ended 31 December 2025 but did not result in any material changes to the financial statements of the Group or Company.

b) New standards, amendments and interpretations in issue but not yet effective or not yet endorsed and not early adopted 

Standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted are as follows: 

The Group is evaluating the impact of the new and amended standards above which are not expected to have a material impact on future Group financial statements.

2.2  Basis of Consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Genflow Biosciences Plc and the financial statements of all of its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 December 2025.

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Where an entity does not have returns, the Group's power over the investee is assessed as to whether control is held. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group applies merger accounting to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is equal to the assets transferred without any restatement to fair value, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The difference that arises on consolidation is deducted from, or added to, reserves.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred unless they result from the issuance of shares, in which case they are offset against the premium on those shares within equity.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Profits and losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated.

Where considered appropriate, adjustments are made to the financial information of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intercompany transactions and balances between Group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation.

2.3  Going Concern

The preparation of financial statements requires an assessment on the validity of the going concern assumption. The Company successfully raised £1.3 million (before expenses) through the allotment and issue of new ordinary shares during the year ended 31 December 2025, and a further £0.8m in early 2026. Further funding will be required by the Company in order to execute the Group's research and development strategy and to continue to meet its financial commitments. The Company has various funding options currently available to it and is assessing their terms in order to select the option which is most favourable to the Company and its shareholders. At 31 December 2025, the Group is in a net liability position totalling £283,195. 

The Directors are of the opinion that the Company has adequate working capital to execute its operations for the present time and expected to cover working capital for a period which will allow for further fundraising. It is confident in its ability to access additional financing over the next 12 months. The Directors, therefore, have made an informed judgement, at the time of approving these financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements, however, notes that, due to the timing of securing additional funding, a material uncertainty related to going concern exists. This is not uncommon with companies in the biotech sector in a similar stage of its development to the Company.

2.4  Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

Segment results, include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

2.5  Foreign Currencies

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency'). The functional currency of the Company is Sterling, the functional currency of the US subsidiary is US Dollars and the functional currency of the Belgian subsidiary is Euros. The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling, rounded to the nearest pound.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where such items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statement.

(c) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group's entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

· assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

· income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income presented are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

· all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income where material.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and of monetary items receivable from foreign subsidiaries for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, are taken to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

2.6  Grant income recognition

Grant income is recognised within other operating income. Grants are recognised as due to the Group when there is reasonable assurance that:

• the Group will comply with the conditions attached to the payments; and

• the grants or contributions will be received.

Amounts recognised as due to the Group are credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income if the conditions attaching to the grant have been met. Monies advanced as grants for which conditions have not been satisfied are carried in the Balance Sheet as a creditor. Where the conditions to the grant have been met but the grant income is yet to be received, a debtor will be recognised equal to the submission made, accruing evenly over the period in which the submission relates.

2.7  Research and development

Expenditure on research activities undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:

o  It is technically feasible to complete the asset so that it will be available for use;

o  Management intends to complete the asset and use or sell it;

o  There is an ability to use or sell the asset;

o  It can be demonstrated how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

o  Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset are available; and

o  The expenditure attributable to the asset during its development can be reliably measured.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the asset include the product development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

2.8  Financial Assets

(a) Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at amortised cost including trade receivables and other financial assets at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income and at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

(b) Recognition and measurement

Amortised cost

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade and other receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows, and so it measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The group classifies its financial assets as at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria are met: 

· the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows; and 

· the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principle and interest. 

(c) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables (not subject to provisional pricing) and other receivables due in less than 12 months, the Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs, as permitted by IFRS 9. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead, recognises a loss allowance based on the financial asset's lifetime ECL at each reporting date.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows and usually occurs when past due for more than one year and not subject to enforcement activity.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

(d) Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. This is the same treatment for a financial asset measured at fair value through profit and loss.

2.9  Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Trade and other payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the associated obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

2.10 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.11 Taxation

Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted, or substantially enacted, by the end of the reporting year and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

There has been no tax credit or expense for the period relating to current or deferred tax.

2.12 Share Capital and reserves

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Share Premium - the reserve for shares issued above the nominal value. This also includes the cost of share issues that occurred.

Retained Earnings - the retained earnings reserve includes all current and prior periods retained profit and losses.

Other Reserves - consists of the following;

- Merger Reserve - represents the difference between the value of shares issued by the Company in exchange for the value of shares acquired in respect of the acquisition of subsidiaries.

- Foreign Currency Translation Reserve - represents the translation differences arising from translating the financial statement items from functional currency to presentational currency.

2.13 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

- the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares;

- by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares (Note 18).

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

- the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and

- the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding, assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

2.14 Share based payments

The Company has issued a number of warrants over its shares in exchange for services from third-party suppliers and to investors who have participated in equity placings. The fair value of the third-party suppliers' services received in exchange for the grant of the warrants is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or charged to equity depending on the nature of the service provided. The fair value of the share warrants are determined using the Black Scholes valuation model.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of warrants that are expected to vest. The total expense or charge is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of warrants that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or equity as appropriate, with a corresponding adjustment to a separate reserve in equity.

When the warrants are exercised, the Group issues new shares. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

3. Financial Risk Management

3.1  Financial Risk Factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks being market risk (including, interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

Market Risk

(a) Foreign currency risks

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Euro against the UK pound. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Parent Company sends funds to the operating subsidiary to fund research and development and is at risk of being exposed to unfavourable exchange rates. The Company mitigates this risk by buying Euros when exchange rates are favourable and holding them in a designated foreign currency account. The Company only issues loan funding to the subsidiary in Euros. The Group negotiates all material contracts for activities in relation to its subsidiary in Euros. The Directors will continue to assess the effect of movements in exchange rates on the Group's financial operations and initiate suitable risk management measures where necessary.

An analysis of the Group's net monetary assets by functional currency of the underlying companies at the year-end is as follows:

The table above indicates that the Company's primary exposure is to exchange rate movements between UK Pound Sterling and the Euro. The table below shows the impact of changes in exchange rates on the result and financial position of the Company.

(b) Interest rate risk

As the Group has no borrowings, it is not exposed to interest rate risk on financial liabilities. The Group's interest rate risk arises from its cash held on short-term deposit, which is not significant.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as outstanding receivables. The Group does not currently generate sales and any receivable balances are granted after careful assessment by Management to ensure there is a high chance of recoverability. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance of these receivables.

The Group considers the credit ratings of banks in which it holds funds in order to reduce exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity Risk

The Group's continued future operations depend on the ability to raise sufficient working capital through the issue of equity share capital or debt. The Directors are reasonably confident that adequate funding will be forthcoming with which to finance operations. Controls over expenditure are carefully managed. See note 2.4 for further details on going concern and liquidity.

3.2  Capital Risk Management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, in order to provide returns for shareholders and to enable the Group to continue its research and development activities. The Group has no debt at 31 December 2025 and defines capital based on the total equity of the Company. The Group monitors its level of cash resources available against future planned operational activities and the Company may issue new shares in order to raise further funds from time to time.

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the Group financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the year. Actual results may vary from the estimates used to produce these financial statements.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions are as follows;

Research and development

IAS 38 Intangible Assets requires management to differentiate between research and the development phase of R&D activities and their related costs. In accordance with IAS 38, an intangible asset arising from development shall be recognised if, and only, if, an entity can demonstrate certain criteria. The Board continually monitor its activities against the prescribed criteria to determine the point in which the Group would enter the development phase of its activities. The entity is currently in the phases of formulation, design and evaluation of its product and therefore management are confident that the entity is in the research phase. As a result, any expenditure arising from R&D activities are expensed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Intercompany loans

In the prior year management assessed the recovery profile of the Parent Company loans granted to subsidiaries and noted the research and development timetable would mean that repayment of the amounts loaned would not commence in the short to medium term and accordingly the loans were considered to not be repayable and have been classified as an investment in subsidiary. The determination of the assumptions is subjective and requires the exercise of considerable judgement about the outcome of research and development activity, probability of technical and regulatory success, amount and timing of projected future cash flow or changes in market conditions. Any changes in key assumptions could materially affect whether an impairment exists. Several factors such as Genflow BE receiving positive feedback from regulatory agencies and successful patent applications give management comfort that no impairment indicators exist. These assumptions have been described in more detail in Note 10.

5. Segmental Information

The results reported for the Group have been derived from the results of the Group's operating three geographical areas, the UK, Belgium and the US, less any inter-company transactions. In 2025, the total value of inter-company transactions in the period were £33,119 (2024: £97,292).

The Parent Company operates in one geographical area, the UK. Activities in the UK are mainly administrative in nature whilst activities in Belgium relate to research and development. The US entity is dormant. The reports used by the chief operating decision maker are based on these geographical segments.

6. Other Operating Income

Other operating income comprises of R&D grant's awards to Genflow Biosciences SRL. In 2025, the Company currently has three active grants, EXO Biologics, Revatis SA and NASH recognising £164,538, £195,062 and £226,008 of other operating income accordingly.

7. Expenses by Nature

8. Employees

The average monthly number of employees, including Directors, during the year was 5 (2024: 5). There were no employees during the year other than the Directors. See the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Report on page 26 for details of remuneration paid to Directors serving during the year.

9. Taxation

The tax on the Group's loss differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate

applicable to the losses of the consolidated entities as follows:

The weighted average applicable tax rate of 23.7% used is a combination of the standard rate of corporation tax in the 25% of UK corporation tax, 21% US corporation tax and 25% Belgian corporation tax.

The Group has accumulated tax losses of approximately £4,286,595 (2024: £3,951,378) and the Company had accumulated tax losses of approximately £2,740,376 (2024: £2,552,458) available to carry forward against future taxable profits. A deferred tax asset has not been recognised because of uncertainty over future taxable profits against which the losses may be utilised.
