or "the Company"
Unaudited interim results for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 Chairman's statement
Following the Company's request that the listing in its shares be temporarily suspended from 20 March 2024, the Company's shares remain suspended from trading on the London Stock Exchange pending the identification and execution of a suitable transaction to restore the Company's listing.
In August 2025, the Board announced that it had signed non-binding heads of terms to acquire Nabirm Global LLC ("Nabirm") through a reverse takeover ("RTO"). The Board is working with advisers to progress the proposed transaction. If successful, the Company would seek a cancellation of the existing listing and either:
· admission to listing of the Company on effective completion of that reverse transaction, publishing a prospectus in support of its application, or
· admission to AIM.
The Company continues to operate with minimal overheads and in August 2025, by way of a fundraising, secured sufficient resources to support the pursuit of this transaction. If an RTO transaction can be achieved the Board believes it will provide a platform for the future growth of the Company and a positive outcome for shareholders.
Set out below is the unaudited interim statement covering the twelve months ended 31 December 2023. The financial information is presented as an unaudited interim statement and is required due to the change in the company's financial year-end to 31 March 2024, announced on 26 April 2024. A loss of £44,000 is reported for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023, compared to a restated loss of £225,000 for the twelve months ended 31 December 2022. The board continues to manage costs carefully in an effort to preserve shareholder value.

Salient events
Completion of Creditors Voluntary Arrangement ("CVA")
In May 2023 the Company announced that the CVA was successfully completed following the approval of the Company's variation to creditors to bring the CVA to an early conclusion. The CVA creditors received a total of 83.06p in the £1, which compared favourably to the 20p in the £1 in the original CVA proposal. The completion of the CVA is an important step forward for the Company which can now plan a future free of its historical debts.
Share Capital Reorganisation and Conversion of the outstanding Convertible Unsecured Loan Notes ("CULNs")
A share capital reorganisation was approved at the Company's AGM in June 2023 resulting in each existing ordinary share of 2.5p being sub-divided into one new ordinary share of 0.1p and one deferred share of 2.4p.
Resolutions were also passed to enable the Company to issue 11,472,175 new ordinary shares in connection with the conversion of the outstanding CULN's and issue up to an additional 120,000,000 new ordinary shares for cash.
In April 2023, 3,001,438 ordinary shares were issued at 2.5p per share upon conversion of £75,036 nominal of CULNs. The balance of outstanding loan notes remain within creditors on the balance sheet.
Redenomination
In July 2023, the Company redenominated 18,198,295 ordinary shares of 2.5p each into 18,198,295 ordinary shares of 0.1p each.

Outlook
The Board is focused on completing a transaction that will restore shareholder value through a readmission of the Company's shares. The successful fundraising in August 2025 provides the Company with the resources required to pursue this strategy, and the Board looks forward to updating shareholders as progress is made.
Work is ongoing to finalise and publish the Company's outstanding audited and interim financial statements for subsequent reporting periods as soon as possible.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements.
Notes
1. Interim Results
These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted in the UK. They follow the same accounting policies as those set out in the audited statutory accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022. The condensed financial statements do not contain all of the information required for a full set of IFRS financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. There have been no significant changes to management judgements or estimates during the period.
2. Going Concern Basis of Accounting
At the time of approving these financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In August 2025 the Company successfully raised £250,000 (before expenses) via the issue of zero coupon unsecured convertible loan notes to support its working capital requirements while it pursues the proposed reverse takeover. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
3. Prior Year Adjustment
During the period, the Company identified administrative expenses of £70,000 recorded in FY23 but relating to FY22. The comparatives presented for the prior period have been adjusted to reflect this correction. This adjustment has no impact on cash or cash equivalents.
4. Return per Ordinary Share
The revenue loss per ordinary share for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 is based on a net loss after taxation of £44,000 and a weighted average of 17,343,091 ordinary shares in issue during the period. The capital return per ordinary share for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 is based on a net capital profit after taxation of £nil and the same weighted average number of ordinary shares.
5. Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share
The net asset value per ordinary share is based on net liabilities of £549,000 (31 December 2022: £580,000 restated) and on 18,198,295 ordinary shares in issue at the period end (31 December 2022: 15,196,857).
6. Related Party Transactions
The Board of Directors is considered a related party of the Company. Directors receive fees for their services. Total directors' fees for the twelve months to 31 December 2023 were £nil (twelve months ended 31 December 2022: £10,000). As at 31 December 2023, amounts payable to directors totalled £10,000 (31 December 2022: £10,000). There were no other related party transactions during the period that had a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Company.
