Strategic Report
For the year ended 31 December 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
PRINCIPLE ACTIVITIES
Ethtry Plc is an investment company with underlying operational activities whose ordinary shares are admitted to trading on the Access Segment of the Aquis Growth Market, operated by the Aquis Stock Exchange, under the ticker "ETHY".
The Company develops and invests in renewable energy assets across the UK. Working with landowners and joint venture partners, it identifies, develops and delivers projects throughout the development lifecycle, supporting the UK's transition to cleaner, more secure energy generation. Through the development of its own renewable energy projects alongside investment in and collaboration with third-party developments, the Board believes the Company is well positioned to participate in one of the UK's fastest-growing renewable energy sectors while supporting the country's long-term energy independence objectives.
Alongside its operational activities, the Company maintains an Ethereum Treasury Policy, under which it holds a portion of its treasury reserves in Ethereum ("ETH"). The Board views this as a complementary treasury management initiative that supports and strengthens the Company's wider operational strategy.
REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The year ended 31 December 2025 was a transformational period for the Company. It began the year focused on the battery energy storage and life sciences sectors and ended it repositioned as Ethtry Plc, combining an operational focus on the UK renewable energy and breakthrough technology sectors with an Ethereum asset treasury strategy.
During the earlier part of the year, the Company continued to manage its existing investment portfolio. This included its exposure to the battery energy storage sector through its relationship with GEM Energia Limited ("GEM"), a UK developer of lithium-ion battery energy storage projects, over whose portfolio of battery storage and renewable energy projects the Company held a right of first refusal.
The period under review presented challenges to GEM' operational activities as a result of the grid reforms introduced in December 2024 by the Government-owned energy system operator, the National Energy System Operator ("NESO"), which necessitated GEM refocusing its activities on renewable energy initiatives largely unaffected by these reforms.
Much of the period was taken up pursuing business opportunities in solar energy development and site identification, following the Government's publication in June 2025 of the Solar Roadmap, which supports solar development and includes a commitment to increase deployment. These business opportunities form part of the Company's ongoing trading activities.
GEM also identified potential opportunities in HGV electric vehicle (EV) charging and infrastructure, which led to negotiations with a number of multinational HGV manufacturers. Ultimately, these discussions were terminated due to concerns regarding speed of deployment.
The Company also retained its life sciences interest in Fixit Medical Ltd, trading as Cingo Technologies, a UK medical technology company developing advanced catheter securement solutions, in which the Company held an interest of 20%. Fixit Medical is a business whose awards include a £270,000 Smart Grant from Innovate UK. Fixit Medical made encouraging operational progress during the period. It adopted the trading name Cingo Technologies to reflect an expanded product family addressing a combined global market opportunity estimated at over $5 billion, completed the final tooling and design of its Cingo catheter fixation device and commenced initial production, and progressed regulatory submissions for both CE (Europe) and FDA (United States) approval. It also developed a range of research and clinical collaborations across the UK innovation ecosystem and applied for further non-dilutive European funding to support the development of its broader device portfolio. During the period, Fixit Medical further strengthened its board with the appointment of Professor Chris Nutting, a leading oncologist, as a Non-Executive Director, who also subscribed for new shares in the company at a price of £1,150 per share.
The Company also held a number of historical investments. Its historical investment in Oscillate Plc, now renamed Serval Resources, has been fully disposed of. In addition, the Company continued to receive payments in respect of certain other historical investments, which the Board intends to continue to pursue.
Following a strategic review of the Company's treasury management framework, undertaken with the objective of optimising capital efficiency, diversification and long-term value preservation, the Board undertook a significant fundraising and a repositioning of the Company's strategy. The Company conducted a placing and subscription of new ordinary shares at a price of £0.0025 per share, which raised total gross proceeds of £5,302,000 before the fundraise was closed. The fundraising, the adoption of an Ethereum Treasury Policy and the change of the Company's name from Igraine Plc to Ethtry Plc were each approved by shareholders at a General Meeting held during the period, following which the Company's ticker changed to "ETHY". The proceeds were applied to strengthen the Company's balance sheet, provide working capital and support the implementation of its strategic objectives.
Alongside the fundraising, the Board was reconstituted to support the Company's new strategic direction, including the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director during the period. As part of these changes, Simon Grant-Rennick stepped down from the Board following the General Meeting. The Board would like to thank Simon for his significant contribution and service to the Company, having been instrumental in stabilising the Company and positioning it to take advantage of the opportunities now before it. Further changes to the composition of the Board took place after the year end, as described in the Post Year End Review.
The Company also established an Advisory Board during the period to provide additional strategic guidance, appointing Mike Foy and Marc Degen, who bring international experience across banking, fintech, digital services and Web3 technologies. The Advisory Board advises on the Company's overall strategy, corporate development and the implementation of its Ethereum assets Treasury Policy.
A central element of the Company's repositioning was the adoption of an Ethereum Treasury Policy, enabling the Company, at its discretion, to allocate a portion of its treasury reserves to Ethereum ("ETH"). The objective of the policy is to preserve long-term value, enhance capital efficiency and align the Company's treasury management with evolving market opportunities, and the Board regards it as a complementary treasury management initiative that supports the Company's wider operational strategy. The Company held no Ethereum at 31 December 2025, with implementation of the policy commencing after the year end.
With a strengthened financial position and a clearly defined strategy, the Company is well positioned to pursue the development of renewable energy assets across the UK alongside its Ethereum asset treasury strategy, and to deliver long-term value for shareholders.
POST-YEAR END REVIEW
Since the year end, the Company has continued to advance the strategy established during 2025.
The Company's Ethereum Treasury Policy became formally effective following the year end, and the Company began its implementation, commencing the acquisition of Ethereum ("ETH") through a series of purchases executed in accordance with its treasury and risk management policies. The Company has since built its treasury holdings to 1,000 ETH, all of which are fully staked with the objective of generating staking rewards while maintaining ETH as a core strategic reserve asset.
The Company entered into a partnership with AMINA Bank AG ("Amina"), a FINMA-regulated Swiss digital asset bank with which the Company's Ethereum are held in institutional-grade custody. AMINA provides institutional-grade services across custody, trading and staking, and the partnership supports the Company's operating strategy and Ethereum Treasury Policy by providing access to regulated banking infrastructure and institutional expertise spanning both traditional finance and digital assets.
The Company entered into an equity investment and operational partnership with the Liechtenstein Trust Integrity Network ("LTIN"), a public-private partnership, majority-owned by Telecom Liechtenstein, which provides sovereign, fully regulated blockchain infrastructure under Liechtenstein's Blockchain Act and compliant with EU markets in cryptoassets (MiCAR) requirements. The Board is excited about the opportunities this partnership presents and will update shareholders on its progress in due course.
The Company also progressed its investment strategy. It committed £500,000, from its cash reserves, to an oversubscribed senior secured lending facility arranged by GSB Capital Limited for Cerulean Winds Limited, the developer of one of the largest floating offshore wind programmes in the world. The investment provides the Company with a senior secured, first-ranking lending position and reflects its strategy of deploying capital into well-secured positions within the energy transition sector to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for shareholders.
The Company's investee Fixit Medical Ltd raised further funds after the year end at a valuation of £2,500,000. The Company participated in the financing, exercising its anti-dilution rights to retain its 20% shareholding in the company.
Further changes to the composition of the Board also took place after the year end. The Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Director who had been appointed during 2025 stepped down from the Board, and Steve Winfield and Mike Murphy, the founder of the Company, were each appointed as Executive Directors.
The Board believes that the combination of a focused operational and investment strategy and a clearly defined Ethereum asset treasury policy provides a strong platform from which the Company can pursue strategic opportunities and deliver long-term value for shareholders.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and the steps taken by the Company to mitigate these risks are as follows:
Funding
The company at present is not generating income from any of its investment activity. The aim of the investment strategy is to seek capital gains on successful disposals of its investment interests rather than financial investments and instruments that generate income. The absence of income will mean that the company is reliant on the performance of the investee not just in its ability to operate but in its ability to provide the Company a material and liquid exit to ensure the company has capital to progress its investment strategy. The Company is cognisant of this risk, is actively managing its capital allocation but may have to rely on external capital finance by way of equity or debt to ensure it meets its financial obligations. In balancing this risk, the Company maintains a healthy ratio of cash to active investments and continues to monitor opportunities that could complement its portfolio by way of income generation to mitigate being too heavily weighted in non-cash flow generative opportunities.
Investment Performance
If an investment in a business or an asset performs negatively then this will have an adverse effect on the Company's potential for performance and growth. The Board tries to mitigate such risks through prudent capital allocation and thorough due diligence, such that if an investment performs poorly this will not unduly damage the Company's portfolio and building value for its shareholders.
SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The Directors are required to make a statement which describes their attitude with regard to the matters set out in Section 172 (1) of the Companies Act 2006, namely:

Of particular significance is the; pre-determined exit strategy, the associated liquidity profile, the general conditions and environment of global financial markets and the time frame for realisation of value in ensuring that the Directors of the company are committing thorough and succinct analysis and identification of opportunities. The board considers this to be a robust process that enhances.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards ("IFRS") and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
Consolidated accounts were not prepared as there were no material subsidiaries at the year-end. See note 9 for further details regarding the subsidiary of the company.
Going concern
The Financial Statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption, which presumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due for at least the next twelve months from the date of the signing of the Financial Statements. In considering the global economic landscape which at present is accounting for an increase in the price of risk and inflationary pressures, the Directors have completed various stress tests to ensure robust working capital exists even in the midst of these economic pressures.
The Company as at 31 December 2025 had cash and cash equivalents balance of £4,265,321 (2024: £7,273).
The Directors report that they have assessed the principal risks, reviewed current performance and projections, combined with expenditure commitments, including capital expenditure. The Company's projections demonstrate it will have sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Directors consider the Company to be a going concern.
The Company has prepared monthly cash flow projections based on estimates of key variables to expenditure through to June 2026 that supports the conclusion of the Directors that they expect sufficient funding to be available to meet the Company's anticipated cash flow requirements to this date.
Key accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
i) Recoverable value of trade and loan receivables
The Company makes assumptions when implementing the forward-looking Expected Credit Loss model under IFRS 9. The model is used to assess material loans receivable for impairment. Estimates are made regarding the credit risk and underlying probability of default in each of the relevant credit loss scenarios.
The directors make judgements on the expected likelihood and outcome of each of the scenarios and these expected values are applied to the loan balances.
Further details relating to management's assessment of the recoverable value of trade and loan receivables can be found in the Strategic Report.
ii) Fair value of the investments
The Company is required to make judgments over the carrying value of investments in unquoted companies where fair values
cannot be readily established and evaluate the size of any impairment required.
It is important to recognise that the carrying value of such investments cannot always be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, may not be capable of being realised immediately. Management's significant judgement in this regard is that the value of their investment represents their cost less previous impairment.
Further details relating to management's assessment of the carrying value of unlisted investments can be found in the Strategic Report.
New and amended standards and Interpretations
In the current year, the company has adopted all the new and revised IFRSs that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2025. IFRSs comprise IFRS; International Accounting Standards ("IAS"); and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised IFRSs did not result in significant changes to the company's accounting policies, presentation of the company's financial statements and amounts reported for the current year and prior years except as stated below.
The company has not applied the new IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The application of these new IFRSs will not have material impact on the financial statements of the company.
Financial assets
The company's financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value. The impairment requirements use an expected credit loss model to recognise an allowance. For receivables a simplified approach to measure expected credit losses during a lifetime expected loss allowance is available and has been adopted by the company. During this process the probability of the non-payment of the receivables is assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the receivables. For trade receivables, which are reported net, such provisions are recorded in a separate provision account with the loss being reported within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. On confirmation that the trade and intra group receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the provision.
Financial Assets - Impairment
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and had an impact on the estimated future cash flows from that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the company on terms that the company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
The company considers evidence of impairment for financial assets measured at amortised cost (loans and receivables) at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant assets are assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics.
In assessing collective impairment, the company uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management's judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance against loans and receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When an event occurring after the impairment was recognised causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit and loss.
(ii) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment or when there is an indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or Cash Generating Unit ('CGU') exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset of CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash represents cash in hand and deposits held on demand with financial institutions. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less (as at their date of acquisition). Cash equivalents are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in that cash value.
In the presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts. Any such overdrafts are shown within borrowings under current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Compound instruments
The component parts of convertible loan notes issued by the company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of equity instruments issued by the company is an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by exchange of a variable number of equity instruments issued by the company is a debt instrument.
Investments
Investments, which include equity and debt investments, are designated on initial recognition as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. This measurement basis is consistent with the fact that the Company's performance in respect of its portfolio investments is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with an established investment strategy. When investments are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value.
After initial recognition the fair value of listed investments is determined by reference to bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. Unlisted equity investments are measured at fair value by the directors in compliance with the principles of the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Guidelines, updated and effective December 2015, as recommended by the European Venture Capital Association. The fair value of unlisted equity investments is determined using the most appropriate of the valuation methodologies set out in the guidelines. These include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument, which is substantially the same; earnings or profit multiples; indicative offers; discounted cash flow analysis and pricing models.
Wherever possible the Company uses valuation techniques which make maximum use of observable market-based inputs and accordingly the basis of the valuation methodology preferred by the Company is 'price of most recent investment'. Where 'price of most recent investment is no longer considered to be appropriate, the Company has used.
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Derecognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Fair value measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.
The fair value of investments is first based on quoted prices, where available. Where quoted prices are not available, the fair value is estimated using consistent valuation techniques across periods of measurement.
The Company's unlisted equity investments are recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying values approximate fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in its profit or loss statement.
In accordance with IFRS 13, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These are described as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices
Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuation Techniques using observable inputs
Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs
Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Company initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables.
Taxation
Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.
Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
The financial information is presented in pounds sterling, which is the company's functional and presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. 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.
Segmental reporting
A business segment is a group of assets or operations engaged in providing services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing services within a particular economic environment that is subject to different risks and returns from other segments in other economic environments.
The Directors consider there to be one operating segment: that of an investment trading company seeking to make capital and interest returns on its investments and loans made.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Interest income is interest earned on bank deposit accounts and loan receivables and is included within the statement of comprehensive income. Interest income is deferred when it does not meet the interest income recognition policy and is presented as deferred income in the statement of financial position.
Expenses
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.
Financial risk management
Credit risk
Deposits, as a general rule, are placed with banks and financial institutions that have ratings of not less than AA or equivalent,
which are verified before placing the deposits. The board will continue to assess the strategies for managing credit risk and is satisfied with existing policies.
Interest rate risk
During the period the Company's surplus funds were placed in deposits at floating rates. The Company's debt is provided through fixed dividend preference shares.
Capital management
The Company's capital management objectives are to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide
long-term returns to shareholders. The Company defines and monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the Balance Sheet. The Board of Directors monitors the level of capital as compared to the Company's commitments and adjusts the level of capital as is determined to be necessary by issuing new shares. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash balances to ensure the Company can meet liabilities as they fall due.
Share-based payments
The Company operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from directors and other persons as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Company. The fair value of the services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
• including any market performance conditions (for example, an entity's share price);
• excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability or sales growth targets, or remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and
• including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save or holding shares for a specific period of time).
At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
In addition, in some circumstances directors and other persons may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognising the expense during the period between service commencement period and grant date.
When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.
Equity instruments including share capital
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of incremental costs attributable to the issue of new shares.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of a company after deducting all its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received net of direct issue costs.
Share capital represents the amount subscribed for shares at nominal value.
The share premium account represents premiums received on the initial issuing of the share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits. Any bonus issues are also deducted from share premium.
Accumulated losses include all current and prior period results as disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income. Other reserves arise from the requirement to value share options and warrants in existence at the grant date.
Loss allowances for expected credit losses
The company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortised cost. Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights.
At the end of each reporting period, the company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of that financial instrument ("lifetime expected credit losses") for trade receivables, or if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.
If, at the end of the reporting period, the credit risk on a financial instrument (other than trade receivables) has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represents the expected credit losses that result from default events on that financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting period.
The amount of expected credit losses or reversal to adjust the loss allowance at the end of the reporting period to the required amount is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the company that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Related parties
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the company.
(A) A person or a close member of that person's family is related to the company if that person:
(i) has control or joint control over the company;
(ii) has significant influence over the company; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the company or of a parent of the company.
(B) An entity is related to the company if any of the following conditions applies:
(i) The entity and the company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the company or an entity related to the company. If the company is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the company.
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (A).
(vii) A person identified in (A)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets except investments and receivables to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.
Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the company's position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

With effect from 1 April 2023, the Corporation Tax main rate increased from 19% to 25% for companies with profits over £250,000 together with the introduction of a small profits rate of 19%. The small profits rate is applicable to companies with profits of not more than £50,000, with marginal relief available for profits up to £250,000.
As at 31 December 2025, the Company had tax losses of £2,254,609 (2024: £1,709,736) to carry forward. No deferred tax asset has been recognised as recovery of tax losses is not considered probable.
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for 2025 was
461,916,799 (2024: 89,712,605).

On 18 October 2024, the company signed an agreement to issue convertible loan notes up to the sum of £500,000, to be drawn in tranches of £50,000, at a coupon rate of 12% per annum. During the year, £100,000 was drawn in two tranches (2024: £50,000).
The convertible loan note is redeemable in five years' time, or earlier, subject to adequate notice and early repayment interest charges. The convertible loan note entitles the noteholder to convert the drawn down sum (and any accrued interest) into shares after 15 months from the date of the issue, and no later than 36 months from the date of the issue. After the first anniversary, the noteholder is also entitled to elect for the convertible loan note to be repaid at a premium of 50% of the advance, inclusive of any interest due.
No separate equity component was recognised in respect of the convertible loan note, as the conversion right is determined based on the company's share price at the date of conversion and therefore the number of shares is variable.
During the year, the Business Bounce Back Loan was fully repaid. The company originally received a £50,000 Business Bounce Back Loan from the Co-Operative Bank Plc, repayable over a period of 72 months, with no repayments falling due within the first 12 months. The interest payable on the loan was 2.5%, with no interest due for the first 12 months.
