Interim Results

31 March 2025

Cloudbreak Discovery Plc

("Cloudbreak" or the "Company")

 

Interim Results for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

 

Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), a leading London listed royalty company and natural resources project generator, is pleased to announce its Interim Results for the six months ended 31 December 2024 ("H2 2024" or the "Period"). 

Chairmans review of interim period

I am pleased to provide Cloudbreak shareholders with an update on the Company's developments in the six months ended 31 December 2024.

 

The period has seen the continuation of the re-organising of the assets and investments the Company has, which resulted in a desire to continue with the present undervalued asset package to build a foundation to work from and seek to prove the underlying values. Fostering and supporting the existing projects and investments should unlock some of this value. 

 

Cloudbreak continued to also reduce capital expenditures and operational costs while seeking partnerships for the existing projects it holds. The Company will continue to focus on project generation and establishing direct involvement in early-stage projects whereby it can make a strong financial impact on acquired assets so as to realise multiples of value going forward. The continued building on the existing foundation of core assets, as well as new ones, will be how the Company proves underlying values.

Subsequent to 31 December 2023, I joined the Board as Executive Chairman, to aid the business development efforts, focusing on identifying opportunities, and driving revenue growth.

It is with cautious optimism that we look forward to the next financial period, 2024 was a difficult period of hard-won lessons, but these lessons will be valuable as we go into H2 2025. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their patience and continued support, and we look forward to reporting on our progress moving forward.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. General information

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England (registered number: 06275976), which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Company is 6 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BT.

 

2. Basis of preparation of Financial Statements

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" as adopted by the United Kingdom and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.

 

The interim financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards.

 

Statutory financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 January 2025 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified and concluded that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. 

 

Going concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. Given the Group's current cash position and its demonstrated ability to raise capital, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting preparing the condensed interim financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024.

 

Notwithstanding the above, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that the Group may be unable to realise their assets or settle their liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of their review, and despite the aforementioned material uncertainty, the Directors have confidence in the Groups forecasts and have a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence for the going concern assessment period and have therefore used the going concern basis in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

 

The factors that were extant at 30 June 2024 are still relevant to this report and as such reference should be made to the going concern note and disclosures in the 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Board continuously assesses and monitors the key risks of the business. The key risks that could affect the Company's medium term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in the Company's 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is available on the Company's website: www.cloudbreakdiscovery.com. The key financial risks are liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and unlisted investments.

 

Critical accounting estimates

 

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates are set out in Note 4 of the Company's 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period.

 

2.1. Accounting policies

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in the interim consolidated financial information as were applied in the Group's latest annual audited financial statements except for those that relate to new standards and interpretations effective for the first time for periods beginning on (or after) 1 July 2024, and will be adopted in the 2025 annual financial statements. 

 

Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

 

i) New standards and amendments adopted by the Group

 

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 period ended 31 December 2024 but did not result in any material changes to the financial statements of the Group or Company.

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

 

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

Effective date 

IAS 21 (Amendments)

Lack of Exchangeability

1 January 2025

IAS 9 (Amendments)

The Group is evaluating the impact of the new and amended standards above which are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's results or shareholders' funds.

 

3. Dividends

No dividend has been declared or paid by the Company during the six months ended 31 December 2024 (2023: £nil).

On 31 May 2022, the Group entered into an agreement with G2 Energy Corp. ('G2') on the Masten Unit Energy Project located in Cochran County Texas, United States. Whereby the Company will provide G2 with a $2,000,000 USD debenture on a two-year term in exchange for a 3.25% Overriding Royalty Interest in the Project. G2 will pay 12% per annum interest to the Company, calculated and paid quarterly in cash or shares at the discretion of the Company. As part of the agreement, the Group received 6,500,000 warrants for G2, however management have deemed that these warrants have no value at this stage as the assets held by G2 are predominantly made up of the early-stage exploration assets on which they have received from the Company. The group is in regular communication with G2 and is monitoring the results of its exploration activities that will be undertaken as the result of the funding by the Group to G2. As at 31 December 2024, the residual value of the debenture in pound sterling was £1,591,442.

8. Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic loss per share of 0.1p (2023: 0.06p) is based on the loss attributable to equity owners of the group of £922,338 (2023: loss of £365,705), and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 905,140,901 (2023: 607,678,805) in issue during the period.

 

In accordance with IAS 33, no diluted earnings per share is presented as the effect on the exercise of share options or warrants would be to decrease the loss per share.

 

9. Events after the reporting date

On 19 March 2025, Peter Huljich was appointed as a director of the Company. He was appointed as an Executive Chairman.

 

10. Approval of interim financial statements

The Condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 31 March 2025.
