Global Connectivity Plc (the "Company")

Full Year Results for the year ended 31 December 2025

Global Connectivity Plc (AQSE: GCON), an investing Company focused on strategic holdings in high-growth, connectivity-aligned technologies, is pleased to announce its Full Year Results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Overview

GCON is pleased to announce its continued strategy of investing in the communications and global connectivity sectors. 

Highlights

Rural Broadband Solutions Holdings Ltd ("RBSHL")

§ With respect to GCON's stake in Voneus Limited ("Voneus") held through RBSHL the lack of credit financing available in the wider broadband infrastructure market has required a reassessment of the original growth targets. 

§ Voneus had built a business investing over £136 million of equity capital, with prudent debt levels in its capital structure and the approximate valuation of the business reached £321 million.

§ Subsequent funding of the business has been provided by the major shareholders with RBSHL obtaining a stronger ownership position of Voneus of 45.7%. 

§ GCON has not contributed to any of the recent funding rounds and as a result our ownership of RBSHL has fallen to 2.82%.  It should be noted that the financial impact of this decline is mitigated by the increase in ownership of Voneus held by RBSHL noted above.

§ Whilst we are comfortable with the carrying value we have maintained for our investment in Voneus, we decided it was prudent to impair that value by 15% to £3.5 million.

PLUG Group Limited ("PLUG")

§ In December 2024, we invested £100,000 for a 4% stake in PLUG, which we subsequently increased to a total of £175,000 for a 7% holding.  The attractiveness of this investment to GCON was clear.  Copper cables are telecommunication carriers' major asset.  The global switch to fibre optic means copper cables are no longer being used which leaves billions of dollars of decommissioned copper in the ground, regarded frequently by the carriers as not economically viable to recover. 

§ PLUG applied for a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation as a result of a division of intentions between the CEO and other senior parties and that process continues to run its course and is in the hands of professional liquidators. This requires GCON to write down its investment to zero.

§ On 2 December 2025, we disclosed a new holding of 6.73%, which was calculated on the assumption that the fundraising would be fully completed, however at the point of liquidation, our actual holding stood at 6.89%.

PLUG Networks LLC-FZ ("Networks")

§ Post period, PLUG Networks LLC-FZ ("Networks") based in Dubai has employed ex-key staff of PLUG including the CEO who now occupies the same role at Networks.  The business is operational and capitalised. 

§ GCON's ownership will be 8% of the issued share capital.  This will be achieved by acquiring 88,000 shares in Networks at a modest cost. 

§ The management of Networks confirms that major carriers acknowledge the effectiveness and importance of Networks' technology to extract large amounts of buried copper cables. 

§ GCON will, in due course, report on the progress of Networks as this business develops.

Outlook

As reported in previous announcements, the Board will continue to seek to invest in adjacent sectors of the communications business.

The Directors of Global Connectivity Plc accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.

Chairman's Statement

GCON is pleased to announce its continued strategy of investing in the communications and global connectivity sectors. 

Rural Broadband Solutions Holdings Ltd ("RBSHL")

With respect to GCON's stake in Voneus Limited ("Voneus") held through RBSHL the lack of credit financing available in the wider broadband infrastructure market has required a reassessment of the original growth targets and as a result the business plan adopted by Voneus led to a significant adjustment with concentration focused on the penetration of a smaller market. For many months the alternative network (altnet) sector has faced well-documented challenges created primarily by the rural broadband boom, which led to full fibre coverage of UK housing reportedly increasing from 17% to 78%, however certain operators incurred unsustainable levels of debt funding to achieve this.  This cast doubts on the ambitious growth plans of many such operators but led to a material deterioration of credit availability for the sector at large.  Voneus had built a business investing over £136 million of equity capital, with prudent debt levels in its capital structure and the approximate valuation of the business reached £321 million. Subsequent funding of the business has been provided by the major shareholders with RBSHL obtaining a stronger ownership position of Voneus of 45.7%.  GCON has not contributed to any of the recent funding rounds and as a result our ownership of RBSHL has fallen to 2.82%.  It should be noted that the financial impact of this decline is mitigated by the increase in ownership of Voneus held by RBSHL noted above.

The change of ownership and funding in the altnet sector is now widely anticipated and is likely to be based on consolidation.  Whilst we are comfortable with the carrying value we have maintained for our investment in Voneus, we decided it was prudent to impair that value by 15% to £3.5 million.

PLUG Group Limited ("PLUG")

Having examined many opportunities to invest in adjacent sectors of the communications business, we opted to diversify our portfolio with an investment in a company that had developed patented solutions with innovative technology to enable extraction of buried copper cables offering substantial cost savings and environmental benefits In December 2024, we invested £100,000 for a 4% stake in PLUG, which we subsequently increased to a total of £175,000 for a 7% holding.  On 2 December 2025, we disclosed a new holding of 6.73%, which was calculated on the assumption that the fundraising would be fully completed, however at the point of liquidation, our actual holding stood at 6.89%.

The particular attraction of this investment lay in its adjacency to telecommunications, technological readiness and strong cash flow generation at appealing margins.  I was asked to become Chairman of PLUG which offered GCON, as a pivotal shareholder, the opportunity for operational involvement and providing management expertise in PLUG's international expansion.  This aligned with our strategic goal to move from a passive investment role to management engagement.

Post year end developments

In my early assessment of the management of PLUG, it emerged that there was a division of intentions between the CEO and other senior parties.  It became evident that the gulf of  interests and direction for the company was too wide to be capable of being bridged.  After many attempts to seek a solution, PLUG applied for a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation.  That process continues to run its course and is in the hands of professional liquidators.  This requires GCON to write down its investment to zero.

Subsequently a new company, PLUG Networks LLC-FZ ("Networks") based in Dubai has employed ex-key staff of PLUG including the CEO who now occupies the same role at Networks.  The business is operational and capitalised.  GCON's ownership will be 8% of the issued share capital.  This will be achieved by acquiring 88,000 shares in Networks at a modest cost.  GCON will, in due course, report on the progress of Networks as this business develops.

The attractiveness of this investment to GCON is clear.  Copper cables are telecommunication carriers' major asset.  The global switch to fibre optic means copper cables are no longer being used which leaves billions of dollars of decommissioned copper in the ground or above ground utility poles.  Whilst recovery of the latter is relatively easy, it is much more costly when buried and is regarded frequently by the carriers as not economically viable to recover.  The management of Networks confirms that major carriers acknowledge the effectiveness and importance of Networks' technology to extract large amounts of buried copper cables. 

Networks is recognised as the optimal method to extract these cables and do so in volume.  Networks has in place a license with LDG*¹ to use certain technologies to effect the extraction and to have access to the technicians who initially created the technology and who have the expertise to oversee its required fulfilment.  The business promises to be cash generative and is expected, in due course, to produce predictable cash dividends.

Board Composition

I am sorry to end this statement to inform you that Selwyn Lewis, a long-term director and through his trust, a major shareholder of GCON has had to leave the board as a result of ill health.  I would like to record my thanks and appreciation to him as a highly regarded colleague whose wisdom and support were invaluable qualities in our many deliberations over the past years.  We wish him well in his retirement. We are committed to appointing another Non-Executive Director by the end of 2026.

Debt

With respect to the debt owed to the business by Mr Hersh, we can confirm that a recovery process is still underway. Prudently, and with a certain amount of conservatism, we have impaired his debt by 50% as can be seen in the accounts accompanying this statement.

Outlook

As reported in previous announcements, the Board will continue to seek to invest in adjacent sectors of the communications business. The Board is conscious that at some point in the current financial year, despite the low cost base and support of its directors and advisers, the Company will need to conduct a fundraising. 

*¹ LDG is a specialised telecommunications infrastructure and engineering company headquartered in Singapore focusing on infrastructure transformation and cable recovery solutions for global telecom networks. The company specialises in proprietary engineering technologies designed to extract and recycle old telecommunications infrastructure.

Independent Auditor's Report to the members of Global Connectivity Plc

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Global Connectivity Plc (the "company") for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity, the company cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the parent company and Group financial statements is applicable law and UK - adopted international accounting standards.

In our opinion the financial statements:

·    give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its loss for the year then ended;

·    have been properly prepared in accordance with UK - adopted international accounting standards; and

·    have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standards as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing these financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the Directors' assessment of the entity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included, as part of our risk assessment, review of the nature of the business of the group, its business model and the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework and the system of internal control. We evaluated the directors' assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, including challenging the underlying data and key assumptions used to make the assessment, and evaluated the directors' plans for future actions in relation to their going concern assessment.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit.

Key Audit Matter	How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter
Valuation of unquoted investments The value for unquoted investments is reliant on third party financial information and projections. Due to the nature of the unquoted investments, there is a lack of observable inputs and therefore the key risk is considered to be the fair value of investments. We therefore identify the valuation of unquoted investments as high risk.	We performed the following audit procedures to address the risk: We obtained an understanding of the methodologies used by management to determine the fair value of unquoted investments. We reviewed and checked the estimates and calculations for fair value and reviewed the latest information regarding business performance and fundraising activities. The adequacy of disclosures in the financial statements in respect of the methodologies, assumptions and fair value hierarchy was reviewed. Based on the audit work performed we are satisfied that the unquoted investments are correctly valued.

Our application of materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality.  These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.

Based on our professional judgment, we determined materiality for the financial statements as £38,000. This has been determined with reference to the benchmark of 1% the Company's gross assets, which we consider to be an appropriate measure based on the activities of the Company during the year and as a primary measure used by shareholders in assessing the financial position of the Company and is a generally accepted auditing benchmark.

An overview of the scope of our audit

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we looked at where the directors made subjective judgments, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

How we tailored the audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the Company's activities, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which they operate.

We designed our audit to ensure that we obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence in respect of:

·    The significant transactions and balances;

·    Other items, which, irrespective of size, are perceived as carrying a significant level of audit risk whether through susceptibility to fraud, or other reasons;

·    The appropriateness of the going concern assumption used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 (Isle of Man) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

·    adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

·    the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

·    certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

·    we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of Directors

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 6, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

·  the senior statutory auditor ensured the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

·    we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the broadband services sector;

·    we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including Companies Act 2006 (Isle of Man), data protection, employment, health and safety legislation and anti-money laundering regulations.

We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

·    making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;

·    considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

·    performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

·    tested journal entries with specific attributes to identify unusual transactions;

·    assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in Note 2 of the financial statements were indicative of potential bias;

·    investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

·    agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

·    reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

·    enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;

·    review of legal expenditure incurred during the year;

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of this report

This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 2 of Part V of the Companies Act 2006 (Isle of Man). Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2          Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2.1       Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the UK. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, as the Board of Directors has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources (taking into account the financial letter of support from the Chairman) to continue in business for the foreseeable future.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, as described in the accounting policies set out below. These accounting policies are consistent with those in the previous year.

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

New International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations effective in the current period

Reference	Narrative	Application date of standard (Periods commencing on or after)
IAS 21 (amendments)	Lack of Exchangeability	1 January 2025

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretation are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2026 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.  None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company. The relevant standards are as follows.

Reference	Narrative	Application date of standard (Periods commencing on or after)
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7	Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments	1 January 2026
IAS 1/ IFRS 18 (amendments)	Presentation and disclosure in Financial Statements	1 January 2027
IFRS 19	Subsidiaries without Public Accountability	1 January 2027

2.2       Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.  The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a)        Trade receivables and loans and receivables           

The Company assesses its trade receivables and loans and receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a financial asset.

(b)        Fair value of financial assets - Level 3

The Company reviews the fair value of its unquoted equity instrument at each Statement of Financial Position date. This requires management to make an estimate of the value of the unquoted security in the absence of an active market. At year end, management's best judgement is based on the information provided to them by the investee company. Where all of the information available is positive but there is insufficient information to demonstrate that the fair value is anything other than cost as a result of a lack of other inputs or evidence to suggest an uplift of the value, no fair value increase is recognised to be prudent.

(c)        Subscriptions due      

The Company assesses its subscriptions due for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows.

2.3       Revenue and expense recognition

The Company provides management services and revenue comprises of certain costs incurred during the period which are then recharged. The pricing of these services (which drives the revenue recognition) depends on the service level required by the client, and on the commercial imperatives and pricing sensitivities of the client. The contractual performance obligations will typically be embedded in an agreement with the client. Where that agreement is detailed, the revenue recognition will follow the allocation of fees and revenues against the completion of the agreed performance milestones in the accounting period. Where the agreement is not specific, the revenue recognition will be in proportion to the completion of performance milestones in the relevant accounting period against the internal costings prepared in advance for each project.

Interest income is recognised in the financial statements on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the period.

Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.

2.4       Financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial instruments

IFRS 9 requires an entity to address the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities.

a) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

•             those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss); and

•             those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded either in profit or loss or in OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

The Company classifies financial assets as amortised costs only if both of the following criteria are met:

•        the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and

•        the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest.

b) Recognition

Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date (that is, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset). Financial assets are de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

c) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

To determine the fair value of the investment, the Directors have reviewed all information received form the investee company. Where all of the information available is positive but there is insufficient information to demonstrate that the fair value is anything other than cost as a result of a lack of other inputs, or evidence to suggest an uplift or impairment of the value, no fair value movement is recognised.

Assets carried at amounts based on fair value are defined as follows:

·    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).

·    Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).

·    Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Debt instruments

Amortised cost: assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

d) Impairment

The Company assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with any debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

2.5       Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

2.6       Warrants and share options

The Company estimates the fair value of the future liability relating to issued warrants and share options using:

·    residual method, where a warrant was issued and included as a part of a package placement of "1 share + 1 warrant"

·    the Black-Scholes pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the warrants and share options were issued, if the warrant or share option was granted on its own.

Warrants relating to equity finance are recorded as a reduction of share premium based on the fair value of the warrants. The charge for the share options is recorded under administrative expenses in the income statement.

2.7       Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value.

3          Risk management in respect of financial instruments

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The financial risks relate to the following financial instruments: investments, loans and receivables and other liabilities as detailed in note 2.4.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's operations are not conducted in jurisdictions which generate revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities in currencies other than Pound Sterling ("the functional currency of the Company"). As a result, there was no exposure to foreign currency risk as at 31 December 2024 or 31 December 2025.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company.

 

The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the balance sheet date. This relates also to financial assets carried at amortised cost.

At the reporting date, the Company's financial assets exposed to credit risk amounted to the following:

	31 December 2025	31 December 2024
	£'000	£'000
Other financial assets	3,519	11,827
Subscriptions due	224	375
Amounts due from related parties	33	33
Trade and other receivables	42	34
Cash at bank	24	292
	3,842	12,561

The Company manages its credit risk by monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties regularly. Cash transactions and balances are limited to high-credit-quality financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company currently manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and with the personal support of the Chairman for shortfalls as a result of the timing of loan repayments. The Company's liquidity position is monitored by the Board of Directors.

The residual undiscounted contractual maturities of financial liabilities are as follows:

31 December 2025	Less than 1 month	1-3 months	3 months to 1 year	1-5 years	Over 5 years	No stated maturity
	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables	20	-	-	-	-	-
	20	-	-	-	-	-

31 December 2024	Less than 1 month	1-3 months	3 months to 1 year	1-5 years	Over 5 years	No stated maturity
	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables	25	-	-	-	-	-
	25	-	-	-	-	-

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk from the cash held in interest bearing accounts at floating rates or short-term deposits of one month or less and on loans from third parties. The Company's Board of Directors monitor and review the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and act accordingly.

During the year ended 31 December 2025 should interest rates have decreased by 100 basis points, with all other variables held constant, the shareholders' equity and profit for the period would have been £1k lower (2024: 100 basis points, £2k lower).

Capital risk management

The Company's primary objective when managing its capital base is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern. Capital comprises share capital (see note 12) and reserves.

No changes were made in respect of the objectives, policies or processes in respect of capital management during the years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2025.

Expenses reimbursed	2	2
	127	122

5          Taxation

The Company is resident in the Isle of Man for taxation purposes. The Isle of Man has a 0% rate of corporate income tax (2024: 0%) to which the Company is subject.

On 19 May 2023, the Isle of Man Government announced a joint approach with Jersey and Guernsey to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Pillar 2 framework. The intention is that this approach will comprise the implementation of an income inclusion rule ("IRR") and a domestic minimum tax to provide for a 15% effective tax rate for large in-scope multinational enterprises, with effect from 1 January 2025. The Company does not fall within the scope of the OECD Pillar 2 model rules.

6          Basic and diluted (loss)/profit per share

(a)        Basic

Basic (loss)/profit per share is calculated by dividing the (loss)/profit of the Company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.

	Year ended                         31 December 2025	Year ended 31 December 2024
(Loss)/profit attributable to equity holders of the Company (£'000)	(8,913)	5,038
Weighted average number of shares in issue (thousands)	315,403	361,837
Basic (loss)/profit per share (pence per share)	(2.83)	1.39

(b)       Diluted

Diluted (loss)/profit per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has two categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares: warrants and share options.

As the Company is reporting a loss from continuing operations for the year, in accordance with IAS 33, the warrants and share options are not considered dilutive because the exercise of the warrants or share options would have an anti-dilutive effect. In the prior year, although the Company was reporting a profit from continuing operations for the year the exercise price of the warrants or performance criteria for the share options had not been met and therefore exercise could not take place. The basic and diluted loss per share as presented on the face of the Income Statement are therefore identical.

7          Subscriptions due

On 10 September 2019, 75 million Ordinary Shares were allotted, 37.5 million to Michael Meyer (former Chairman of the Company) and 37.5 million to Barry Hersh. The Ordinary Shares were issued at a price of 1 pence per share. The consideration for the Ordinary Shares was to be left outstanding on terms that it would be paid to the Company in full by 31 December 2024.

On 17 March 2020, 20 million Ordinary Shares were allotted to Keith Harris (Chairman of the Company). The Ordinary Shares were issued at a price of 1 pence per share. The consideration for the Ordinary Shares was to be left outstanding on terms that it would be paid to the Company in full by 31 December 2024.

In December 2024, Keith Harris surrendered the 20 million Ordinary Shares held directly in certificated form, which were then cancelled by the Company. Simultaneously, his SIPP, which is his pension, bought newly issued Ordinary Shares for a total consideration of £200,000 at 1 pence per share. In December 2024, Mrs. Meyer surrendered 32.5 million Ordinary Shares which were cancelled by the Company and simultaneously paid £50,000 for the remaining 5 million Ordinary Shares at 1 pence per share in full settlement of her £375,000 obligation to the Company. Mr Hersh did not settle his £375,000 debt in full by the due date of 31 December 2024. As a result, the Company exercised its lien over the 18,662,500 shares which were still directly held by Mr Hersh. On 5 February 2025 the Company forfeited and cancelled those shares. The Company has initiated the process to recover the debt in full but the timing of the recovery is not yet known and therefore the receivable has been reclassified as a non-current asset.

On 12 August 2025 the Company received a judgement in its favour which enables it to move forward in the legal process to reclaim in full the debt owed by Mr Hersh of £375,000, with, in addition, accrued interest as well as the cost of the hearings. Enquiries are being made to better understand the current position however it is difficult to know with any certainty how much can be recovered. Taking this into consideration, the directors have decided to impair the recoverable value by 50% to £224,125.

The infrastructure funding deal with Tiger Infrastructure Partners Fund III LP ("Tiger") completed on 25 October 2022. As a result, the Company transferred ownership of its two previously wholly owned subsidiaries, Secure Web Services Limited and Cadence

Networks (note 18) to a new intermediate holding company, Rural Broadband Solutions Holdings Limited, of which the Company now owns 2.82% at 31 December 2025 (2024: 9.51%).

In the year the Company invested a further £75,000 investment in PLUG Group Limited ("PLUG") increasing its holding to 7% of the PLUG shares (31 December 2024: 4%). In December 2025 PLUG raised £0.43m from a new share issue, reducing the Company's holding to 6.89%. A liquidator was appointed to Plug Group Limited on 5 May 2026 and the circumstance deemed to be in existence at 31 December 2025 so this investment of £175k as been fully impaired at 31 December 2025.

The Company has estimated the fair value of its investment in Rural Broadband Solutions Holdings Limited, an unquoted equity instrument, and recognised an decrease (2024: increase) in fair value based on the information provided by the investee company with a further impairment of 15% (£620,956) to reflect the nature of the markets at this time and the limited options to be able to sell the investment.

9          Amounts due from related parties

This balance is unsecured and interest free. £32,760 (31 December 2024: £32,760) relates to management services recharges which are repayable on demand.

The holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company.

No distributions were paid during the year (31 December 2024: none).

13        Warrants and share options

Warrants

The number and weighted average exercise price of warrants in issue for the year ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

	31 December 2025		31 December 2024
	Outstanding (000s)	Weighted average exercise price (£)	Outstanding (000s)	Weighted average exercise price (£)
Opening balance 1 January	101,622	0.015	101,622	0.03
Issued	-	-	-	-
Exercised	-	-	-	-
Closing balance 31 December	101,622	0.015	101,622	0.015*

* 100 million warrants were due to expire on 21 April 2024. On 28 March 2024, the Company agreed to extend the warrant exercise period by two years to 20 April 2026 and decreased the warrant exercise price to 1.5p per share.

The estimate of the fair value of the Warrants is measured based on the Black-Scholes model. The following inputs were used in the calculation of the fair value of the warrants granted.

	31 December 2025	31 December 2024
Fair value (£000s)	77	77
Share price (£)	0.025	0.025
Expected volatility	30%	30%
Expected warrants life (years)*	0.3	1.3
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%
Risk-free interest rate	0.33%	0.33%

* exercise period was extended

The expected volatility is based on the historical share prices of a group of companies deemed to be comparable.

Share options

The Company has issued share options as an incentive to the senior management of the Company (and up to the reorganisation in October 2022 to the management of the subsidiary company Secure Web Services Limited). In addition, the Company has issued options to senior management and advisers in payment or part payment for services provided to the Company. All share options granted in prior years were granted under individual agreements and are subject to market and service vesting conditions. These options were HMRC approved EMI options up to the date of the reorganisation in October 2022. The vesting conditions fall into the 3 main categories:

·    Salary sacrifice for certain individuals where no further vesting condition is required;

·    Numbers of monthly paying customers sustained over a three month period;

·   Share price hurdles based on share values of 4.5p, 7.5p and 10.5p over 3 consecutive months or a liquidity event at that price per share at any time following the award of the options.

Each share option converts into one ordinary share of the Company on exercise and are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payments. The equity instruments granted carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights.

Share options in issue:
	Units	Weighted average exercise price
Balance at 31 December 2024	23,850,000	1.0p
Lapsed during the year	-	-
Balance at 31 December 2025	23,850,000	1.0p
Exercisable at 31 December 2025	-	-

The fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions attached to the grant.

The share options have an exercise price of £0.01 and will lapse if they have not been exercised by the 10^th anniversary of the date of granting the options.

The value of share options charged to administrative expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the year is as follows:

	Year ended         31 December 2025	Year ended             31 December 2024

18        Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or to exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. Key management is made up of the Board of Directors who are therefore considered to be related parties and the transactions were made at arm's length. Fees in relation to the Directors are disclosed in note 4. Shares allotted to related parties are disclosed in note 7.

Up to the date of reorganisation in 2022, management service fees were charged to the former wholly owned subsidiary, Secure Web Services Limited. At the balance sheet date there was a balance of £32,760 (2024: £32,760) owed to the Company in relation to these fees.

19        Ultimate controlling party

There is no one controlling party.

20        Post balance sheet events

The Company had 101,622,400 warrants in issue which expired on 20 April 2026.
