STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTORS

During the first half of 2026, Coro completed the final stage of its restructuring into a focused South East Asian renewable energy business.

 

The disposal of the Duyung gas interest in Indonesia was completed, the final proceeds from the sale of the Group’s Italian gas assets were received and all creditors associated with the Duyung investment were settled. In addition, the disposal of the Philippines wind business removed the significant capital requirements associated with developing large-scale onshore wind projects.

 

As a result, Coro enters the next phase of its development with a significantly simplified business, a clear strategic focus and a strengthened financial platform. The Group’s core operating business is now in Vietnam, where it owns and operates 6.4 MW of rooftop solar assets serving commercial and industrial customers. Coro also retains an 80 MW greenfield solar development opportunity in the Philippines.

 

A key priority for the Group during 2026 has been to secure debt financing which will enable Coro to leverage its existing operating solar portfolio and accelerate the deployment of additional capacity in Vietnam. Significant progress was made towards this objective during the first half of the year and the Board is confident that this process is nearing completion. Once concluded, the facility is expected to provide the capital required to materially scale the Group’s operational portfolio and unlock further value from the platform that has now been established.

 

In preparation for this next stage of growth, Coro has continued to strengthen its in-country management capabilities. During the period, the Group appointed a Head of Vietnam, a new Head of Finance and a Head of QHSE. Together with further planned recruitment, these appointments are intended to ensure that the business has the operational, financial and governance capability required both to manage the proposed debt facility and to oversee the deployment of additional capacity while continuing to originate a strong pipeline of new projects. The Group remains focused on its ambition of building an operational portfolio of more than 50 MW by the end of 2028.

 

Operationally, Coro has also completed a Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) pilot project with Mobile World Group. The results have been highly encouraging and reinforce the Board’s view that the commercial and industrial BESS market in Vietnam represents an attractive adjacent growth opportunity. Coro believes that its existing customer relationships, operating platform and early market position provide an opportunity to establish a meaningful presence in this developing market and potentially generate returns above those available from standalone rooftop solar.

 

Following a challenging period for the Company, the Board and senior management team believe that Coro now has a substantially stronger foundation from which to grow. The restructuring of the Group has been completed, the operating platform in Vietnam has been established and the Company is positioned to pursue a significant opportunity within the rapidly growing South East Asian renewable energy market.

 

I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support throughout this period. The Board is encouraged by the progress made during the first half of the year and by the opportunities ahead, and I look forward to updating shareholders on the Company’s further progress in due course.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

Results from continuing operations

The Group made a statutory loss after tax from continuing operations of $0.71m (H1 2025: profit $23.6m) this is more consistent with the previous period distorted due in large part to the redemption of the Eurobond of $25.6m. Revenue from operations increased to $384,000 (H1 2025: $310,000). General and administrative expenses fell to $0.96m (H1 2025: $1.5m) principally due to reduced corporate and compliance costs of $388,000 (H1 2025: $703,000) following the completion of the share reorganisation, Conrad settlement agreement and the Eurobond redemption (note 4). Employee costs decreased to $278,000 (H1 2025: $344,000).

 

In January 2026, the Company completed a share capital reorganisation in which every 10 shares were consolidated into 1 share. At the same time an equity fundraise was completed which comprised of a Subscription which raised gross proceeds of £1,000,000.00 through the issue of 25,000,000 Subscription Shares at the Issue Price.

 

On 2 April the Company announced a sustainable-infrastructure investor had given internal credit-committee approval for a proposed senior secured debt facility comprising: an initial committed tranche of up to US$10 million; and an uncommitted accordion tranche of up to a further US$10 million. The proposed terms included: an eight-year tenor; funding of up to 70% of capital expenditure on contracted rooftop-solar and battery-storage projects in Vietnam; and security over the company’s Vietnam operating platform, including project assets, contracts and cash flows. The Board of directors is confident that the Company will shortly conclude the Debt Facility.

 

On 27 April 2026, the Company announced that it had completed the sale, by its wholly-owned subsidiary Coro Energy Duyung (Singapore) Pte Ltd, of its 15% participating interest in the Duyung PSC to West Natuna Exploration Ltd (“WNEL”), a subsidiary of Conrad Asia Energy Ltd. The Company received 500,000 shares in Conrad Asia Energy Limited value at 30 June at $168,000.

 

Going concern

The interim financial statements have been prepared under a material uncertainty relating to going concern. The company does not have sufficient cash to meet all its obligations at Plc for the next 12 months and it cannot rely on being able to bring cash up from its profitable operations in Vietnam should it secure the proposed debt financing for its pipeline. Whilst the Company has always secured equity financing this cannot be relied upon from a Going Concern perspective. Therefore the directors have ascribed a material uncertainty to Coro’s Going Concern.

 

The Group ended the period with cash of $0.58m and current receivables of $0.615m related to $0.356m of recoverable VAT. The Group raised gross proceeds of £1m from an equity fund raise in January 2026.

 

The Group’s Eurobond was fully redeemed in February 2025 when Bondholders passed resolutions at a meeting of Bondholders to deem all the principal and interest outstanding under the Bonds to have been repaid in full of approximately 75% of the principal and all accrued interest written off and with the balance of the principal converted into 311,617,085 Bond Conversion Shares.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Six Months Ended 30 June 2026

 

Note 1: Basis of preparation of the interim financial statements

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Coro Energy plc (the “Group”) for the six month period ended 30 June 2026 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025, which was prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, and any public announcements made by Coro Energy plc during the interim reporting period.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Group’s statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 prepared under IFRS have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor’s report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) of the Companies Act 2006. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group are presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or "$"), rounded to the nearest $1,000.

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except as set out below.

 

Basis of preparation – going concern

 

The interim financial statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption, which presumes that the Group will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

 

The Group’s Eurobond was fully redeemed in February 2025 when Bondholders passed resolutions at a meeting of Bondholders to deem all the principal and interest outstanding under the Bonds to have been repaid in full of approximately 75% of the principal and all accrued interest written off and with the balance of the principal converted into 311,617,085 Bond Conversion Shares. Additionally, the Group fully repaid the convertible loan note taken out in August 2024 and November 2024.

 

In the period under review, the Company raised gross proceeds of £1m from a combined equity fund raise retail offer in January 2026.

 

Management has prepared a consolidated cash flow forecast for the period to 31 December 2026 which shows that the Group will require additional equity financing to meet its obligations and intended work renewables work programme in Asia during this period. The Group is actively pursuing a significant fundraise and the directors have a reasonable expectation that sufficient funds can be raised on equity markets to provide this liquidity, although the ability to raise sufficient capital is not guaranteed.

 

Based on the above, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Group and Company financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2026. Should the Group and Company be unable to continue trading, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of the assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for further liabilities which might arise and to classify fixed assets as current. The auditors make reference to a material uncertainty in relation to going concern within their audit report.

  1.         New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The calculation of basic profit per share from continuing operations was based on the loss attributable to shareholders of $696k (2025: profit of $23.7m) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the half year of 104,882,641 (2025: 375,196,325). In January 2026, shareholders approved the Share Capital Reorganisation in which for every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares of 0.5 pence each in the issued share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one Consolidated Share of 5 pence each (note 9).

 

Diluted loss per share from continuing operations for the current and comparative periods is equivalent to basic loss per share since the effect of all dilutive potential ordinary shares is anti-dilutive.

In September 2025, management completed a strategic review of the Wind Project and it was decided to divest the Group of this project to focus the Group on solar projects only. Discussions with various parties had been held about the development and potential sale of this wind assets and were assessed under IFRS 5 Held for Sale as at 31 December 2025 concluding that sufficient indicators existed for the wind assets to be classified as held for sale being valued at the lower of the carrying value and the estimated sale value less disposal costs.

 

Based on estimates as at 31 December 2025, there was a $642k write-off to intangible development assets.

 

Goodwill was initially recognised following the acquisition of the renewables projects in the Philippines. Impairment of goodwill was noted following testing performed at 31 December 2025 in line with the strategic review results and $863k to goodwill (2024: $Nil). The net value at 30 June 2026 remains $Nil.

The options have been valued on the grant date using a Black Scholes model, resulting in a valuation of £0.0013 per award. The total value of the awards will be expensed over the vesting period in line with the requirements of IFRS 2.
