Alpha Growth plc

Unaudited interim report for the twelve-month period ended

31 December 2024

The Board of Alpha Growth plc (LSE: ALGW and OTCQB: ALPGF), a leading financial services specialist in life insurance-linked wealth and asset management, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the twelve month period ended 31 December 2024.

Chairman's Statement

PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The key highlights during the period were as follows:

· 28% increase in revenues compared to equivalent prior period;

· Profit before taxation of £0.97m (£1.49m loss before taxation for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023) helped by one-off adjustments;

· Integration projects beginning to bear fruit as the Group achieves break-even on an operating basis for the first time;

· Assets in insurance businesses continuing to hold up whilst a number of new insurance products are primed for launch;

· Managed assets in the fund management business, now approaching $30 million and close to reaching an inflexion point which would see significantly improved cash flows;

· Acquisition of insurance manager completed with aggressive growth plans already in place which include assisting in launching the Group's new insurance products.

The Group is now starting to see the benefits of the synergies between its different businesses and the Board believe there is significant scope for further improvements, many of which we have been working on in the reporting period. The overall strategy of combining complementary and supplementary businesses in the life insurance linked wealth/asset management business are showing the merits of the business plan. The completion of the acquisition of Jeometri Insurance Managers (Guernsey) Limited ("JIM") in September has already led to some exciting opportunities. Following JIM's acquisition, the Group immediately expanded the team which has since been heavily involved in designing new products for the Group's two life assurance subsidiaries, as well as starting to reduce overheads in Alpha International Life Assurance Company (Guernsey) Ltd by bringing a number of previously outsourced administrative functions in-house.

The team at Alpha Growth Management LLC ("AGM") has also been expanded with a greatly enhanced website and marketing presence for the products they manage. Up until now AGM has been a significant drag on the Group's resources as the expense cap on AGM's main product has resulted in the Group paying money into the product. The AUM has risen almost fourfold since December 2023 and a further doubling will enable the AGM to be able to start releasing back the expense cap to the Group, which is expected to result in a significant cash flow benefit. Whilst the growth of AGM's business has been slower than we would have liked, we now believe that AGM has the products and team in place to reward the patience shown.

During the period under review our former non-executive Director, Neil Warrender, took on a new role as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") with our independent Director Lynne Martel taking over as Chair of the Audit Committee. Our CFO has been busy improving the financial reporting to management. These improvements are partly reflected in the improved profitability compared to the same period last year but are also expected to result in improved cash flows into the insurance businesses.

As previously announced the Board has decided that the next stage in its M & A strategy is best achieved off market and that the Company's shares will cease to be listed from 8am on 15th April. We are very grateful for the response from shareholders who have indicated their continuing support for the Board. We hope these results give shareholders faith that the Board's long-term strategy is beginning to bear fruit. The Directors plan to relist the Company at the earliest opportunity.

Our strategy continues to insulate us from a lot of the volatility in capital markets. The Directors firmly believe that the Group's value creation strategy is on the right path and that the upcoming twelve months will see a significant growth in AUM, with a return to the market.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the shareholders for their continued support as we build Alpha Growth into a unique and significant organisation within its sector.

Notes to the Financial Statements

interim results to 31 December 2024

1. Organisation and Trading Activities

The company is incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales as a public limited company and operates from its registered office 35 Berkeley Square, Mayfair London, United Kingdom W1J 5BF.

The principal activity of the Group is the management of life insurance companies and asset managers which complement each other and provide a platform for life insurance linked wealth and asset management.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted and applied in the preparation of these interim Group Financial statements are set out below.

These have been consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated:

Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements of Alpha Growth plc (the "Group") have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards ("UK-adopted IAS") applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on the basis of the accounting policies as set out in the Group's audited annual financial statements and are presented in GBP £ the presentational and functional currency of the Group. The Group has applied IAS 34 in the preparation of these interim financial statements.

This announcement was approved and authorised by the Board of directors on 24 March 2025. Copies of this interim report will be made available on the Company's website at www.algwplc.com.

These condensed interim financial statements for the twelve months ended 31 December 2024 are unaudited and do not constitute fully prepared statutory accounts. The comparative figures for the 12 month period ended 31 December 2023 are extracted from the 2023 audited financial statements. The independent auditor's report on the 2023 financial statements contained a disclaimer of opinion.

Going concern

Any consideration of the foreseeable future involves making a judgement, at a particular point in time, about future events which are inherently uncertain.

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has sufficient cash and liquid reserves in order to meet any future obligations and thus to continue operating for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.

3. EARNINGS / (LOSS) per Share

The basic earnings / (loss) per share is based on the loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the Company the period ended 30 June 2024 assumes that all shares have been included in the computation based on the weighted average number of days since issue. Since the Group has made a loss in the current and each of the prior periods, the warrants in issue are not dilutive. 

4. Share capital AND SHARE PREMIUM
