(‘Focus Xplore’ or the ‘Company’)
Interim Results
30 September 2026:
Focus Xplore PLC (AIM: FOX), the strategic and precious minerals exploration and development company, announces its unaudited interim financial results for the six-month period ending 30 June 2026 and provides a brief update on subsequent developments.
David Russell, Executive Director of Focus Xplore, commented:
"The opening six months of 2026 were devoted to consolidation and groundwork. The new Board chose to narrow the Group's Canadian holdings, allowing a number of licence areas to lapse where earlier exploration results and the cost of maintaining them in good standing could no longer be justified against their prospectivity.
On 7 September, the Company announced that conditional heads of terms had been signed to acquire Nova Aurum Exploration Limited and 1597320 B.C. Ltd, which together hold five greenfield gold licences extending to approximately 8,644 hectares in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador.
These are early-stage properties requiring uncomplicated work — soil and biogeochemical sampling, prospecting and geophysics — to advance the projects towards drill-ready targets. That is where the Company's initial expenditure will be directed.
Completion remains conditional on documentation and funding, for which the process is well advanced and the Board anticipates completing in the near term, with exploration work programmes being scheduled for the next few months.
Focus Xplore enters the final quarter with a settled direction and a real potential to create significant shareholder value."

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
For the six months ended 30 June 2026
Note 1 General information
Focus Xplore PLC (‘Focus Xplore’ or the ‘Company’) is a Company incorporated in England & Wales as a public limited Company. The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Company's registered office is located at c/o Arch Law Limited, Huckletree Bishopsgate, 8 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N 4BQ.
The principal activity of Focus Xplore, through its subsidiaries (together the ‘Group’), is to carry out evaluation and exploration studies within a licenced portfolio area with a view to generating commercially viable mineral resources. The priority projects are prospective for uranium, lithium, and magnet metals (selected rare earth elements).
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not represent statutory accounts within the meaning of section 435 of the Companies Act 2016.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the UK.
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 period ended 31 December 2024, which has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted IFRSs, and any public announcements made by Focus Xplore during the interim reporting period.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Pounds Sterling, which is the functional and presentation currency for the Group and its related subsidiaries.
Accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous financial period and annual report unless where new standards became effective during the period.
The seasonality or cyclicality of operations does not impact on the interim financial statements.
Investments in associates
Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of these consolidated statements in conformity with UK adopted International Accounting Standards require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
In particular, there are significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the following areas:
• Impairment assessment of investment in associates;
• Joint arrangements;
Impairment assessment of investment in associates
In applying IAS 36, impairment assessments are performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or CGU may not be recoverable. Estimates are made in determining the recoverable amount of assets which includes the estimation of cash flows and discount rates used as well as determination of the fair value in an open market transaction, where available. In estimating the cash flows, management bases cash flow projections on reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management’s best estimate of the range of economic conditions that will exist over the remaining useful life of the assets. The discount rates used reflect the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. Where market values are available for similar assets in a similar condition, managements assess the reasonability of these valuations in order to utilise these valuations as a comparable open market value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists.
Joint arrangements share in profit or loss
Arrangements under which Focus Xplore has contractually agreed to share control with another party or parties are joint ventures where the parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement, or joint operations where the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement.
Management applies judgement on the share in profit or loss from associates recognised under equity accounting in terms of IAS 28.
Note 2 Going concern
The Company currently generates no revenue and had a net liabilities position of £139,269 and available cash reserves of £54,024 as at 30 June 2026 (30 June 2025: net liabilities position of £262,722 and cash reserves of £43,413 and 31 December 2025: net asset position of £70,560 and cash reserves of £70,849). Since 30 June 2026, the Company’s cash balance has declined and net liabilities has increased. The Company has a history of raising money from new and existing shareholders and remains confident that such funding will be forthcoming as this will be required to fund the Group’s ongoing working capital requirements.
The Directors regularly review cash flow requirements to ensure the Group can meet financial obligations as and when they fall due. The Directors have evaluated the Group’s liquidity risk and liquidity requirements to confirm whether the Group has adequate cash resources and working capital to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The Directors assessed available information about the future, possible outcomes of planned events and the responses to such events and conditions that would be available to the Board.
In the past the Group has raised funds via equity contributions from new and existing shareholders, enabling the Group to remain a going concern until such time that revenues are earned through the sale or development and mining of a mineral deposit. There can be no assurance that such funds will continue to be available on reasonable terms, or at all in future.
There is a material uncertainty related to the events or conditions described above that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
In response to the above the Directors continue to review the Group’s options to secure additional funding for its general working capital requirements, alongside its ongoing review of potential acquisition targets and corporate development needs. A deferral of Directors’ salaries has been agreed upon in the short term.
The evaluation of the going concern considers that Focus Xplore has a strong proven track record of being able to source funding on an ongoing basis, even in difficult market conditions, and it expects to be able to continue doing so.
Various other sources of funding are being considered, most notably:
• Capital placing
• Exercise of outstanding warrants
• Credit loan notes
Focus Xplore also enjoys strong support, with specific reference to funding, from its corporate broker, First Equity Limited, which also has a proven track record of being able to facilitate ongoing funding.
The Group and Company will require additional finance to progress work on its current assets and bring them to commercial development and cash generation. As a result, the Directors continue to monitor and manage the Company’s cash and overheads carefully in the best interests of its shareholders.
Whilst the Directors continue to consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis the above constitutes a material uncertainty that shareholders should be aware of.

The Group presents basic and diluted EPS data on the basis that the current structure has always been in place. Therefore, the number of Focus Xplore shares in issue as at the period end has been used in the calculation. Basic earnings/Loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss for the period from continuing operations of the Group by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.
The Company had in issue warrants and options at 30 June 2026. The inclusion of such warrants and options in the weighted average number of shares in issue would be anti-dilutive, and therefore, they have not been included for the purpose of calculating the loss per share.
