Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 March 2026
Sundae Bar Plc (AIM: SBAR), the enterprise platform deploying AI agents for business, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2026 (the "Interim Results"). A copy of the Interim Results will shortly be available on the Company's website https://corporate.sundaebar.ai/
Chairman's report
I am pleased to present the Company's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2026, sundae_bar's first full interim reporting period since admission to AIM on 3 June 2025.
At Admission, the Company outlined a phased strategy focused on developing the sundae_bar marketplace platform, launching a commercial beta product, onboarding developers, integrating monetisation infrastructure and growing marketplace adoption.
During the period, the Company made substantial progress against these objectives. The sundae_bar marketplace is now live and the Company completed the rollout of integrated payments infrastructure, launched its Enterprise Offering and recognised its first revenues from enterprise AI agent deployment contract, consistent with its stated objective of becoming revenue-generating within 12 months of Admission.
Alongside execution of the original marketplace strategy, the Company expanded its technical infrastructure through Subnet 121 ("SN121"), the Company's decentralised competitive AI development and benchmarking network.
The Company has transitioned from an early-stage development business into one with a live commercial platform and a growing decentralised AI development network designed to accelerate capability generation without needing to scale the internal engineering team at the same pace.
Operational Highlights
In September 2025, we formally released our strategic plan for Subnet 121 ("SN121"), the Company's decentralised evaluation environment on the Bittensor network. SN121 allows the Company to source commercially valuable AI workflows and business functions from a global developer network, where developers compete to improve capabilities against real-world demand signals identified through the sundae_bar marketplace.
Successful submissions are benchmarked and deployed onto the marketplace as standalone products or integrated into broader enterprise agent solutions. This model allows the Company to accelerate capability generation without proportionally increasing internal engineering costs, while continuously expanding its commercial AI offering and reusable library of business capabilities.
SN121 has continued to mature, with more than 1,600 submissions evaluated to date and the subnet currently generating approximately 1,296 Alpha Tokens per day to the Company in its capacity as subnet owner.
Our marketplace platform at sundaebar.ai now hosts more than 300 AI agents and workflows across functions including HR automation, marketing operations and trading. In February 2026, we launched our Enterprise Offering, enabling direct enterprise deployments while continuing to expand the platform's commercially deployable capabilities.
On 5 November 2025, the Company completed a placing of 16,666,667 ordinary shares at 6 pence per share, raising gross proceeds of £1.0 million. Alongside this, an additional 483,403 WRAP Retail Offer Shares raised a further £29,004. A further 250,000 shares were issued in February 2026 following the exercise of warrants.
Financial and Operational Review
The Company continues to generate Alpha Token emissions through its ownership and operation of SN121, together with additional staking-related rewards. During the period from October 2025 to March 2026, the Company generated a total of 302,684 Alpha Tokens.
The Board expects the Company's operating cost base to reduce during the second half of the calendar year as a result of decreasing startup revenue-share obligations related to SN121, lower developer overhead through increased internal automation, and the non-recurrence of certain one-off costs recognised during the period, including approximately £0.3 million relating to digital asset partnerships.
As the Company continues to scale marketplace activity, enterprise deployments and SN121 participation, the Board believes the business is progressing toward a significantly improved operating result.
The average Alpha Token price during the Interim Results period was £2.36, compared with an average price of £1.43 since the period end.
Post Period-End and Outlook
On 14 May 2026, the Company announced the deployment of seven autonomous AI agents across its internal technology function, effectively doubling the size of the technology team. These agents are being deployed to automate key components of the SN121 incentive mechanism, including identifying commercially valuable AI capabilities, generating evaluation challenges, benchmarking submissions, and expanding the range of deployable agent skills and enterprise workflows available through the marketplace. The deployment is expected to reduce manual workloads by over 80% and serves as a real-world demonstration of the operational capabilities being developed and commercialised through the sundae_bar platform.
The Board believes this creates a scalable development flywheel whereby real-world business demand informs new SN121 challenges, developers compete to deliver the highest-performing capabilities, and successful outputs are deployed commercially through the sundae_bar marketplace.
The Company's first 1,600+ agent submissions have already contributed toward the development of multiple enterprise-focused products now entering beta deployment, including Crumble, an AI security review agent, and Scoop, an AI-powered email generation agent.
The Board believes continued automation of the SN121 incentive mechanism, combined with growing marketplace activity, enterprise deployments and Alpha Token generation, positions the Company to operate with increasing efficiency and scalability as the platform matures.
The Board's priorities for the remainder of the financial year are to continue scaling the Company's Enterprise Offering, expand the marketplace catalogue of AI agents and agent skills, increase developer participation on SN121, further automate the subnet's benchmarking and challenge-generation systems, and prudently manage the Company's combined sterling and digital asset treasury.
Enterprise adoption of AI agents is increasingly moving from experimentation into procurement, particularly around workflow automation, operational efficiency and internal business tooling. The Board believes sundae_bar is well positioned, both technically and commercially, to participate in this transition.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders, employees, developer community and advisers for their continued support.

Sundae Bar PLC
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the six months ended 31st March 2026
1. Information on the Company
Sundae Bar PLC is a public company limited by shares, registered in England. The company's registered number is 13714088 and its registered office address is 6th Floor 99 Gresham Street, London, England, EC2V 7NG.
The principal activity of the Company in the period under review was the development of an artificial intelligence based application. The Company's shares are admitted to trading on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange.
2. Basis of preparation and principal accounting policies
This interim financial information was approved for issue by the Board on 26 May 2026.
The Company's directors are responsible for the preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements.
The preparation of unaudited interim financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
This interim financial information has not been audited and does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. The Company auditor has not reviewed these interim statements ahead of publication.
The financial figures included within this interim report have been computed in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim periods, and this report constitutes an interim financial report as set out in International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements.
The functional and presentational currency is UK Sterling and is rounded to the nearest GBP.
3. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss (including other comprehensive income) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the period. Diluted earnings per share is not calculated as the company is loss making therefore outstanding warrants are not dilutive.

Cryptocurrencies and Alpha Token emissions
The Company holds Alpha Tokens, which are classified as intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38. Alpha Tokens are received as emissions from the Company's ownership and operation of Subnet 121 on the Bittensor network, and are recognised as other operating income at fair value on the date of receipt, in accordance with IAS 1. As there is no active quoted market for fungible ALPHA, a level 2 valuation (per IFRS 13) is applied, based on the conversion of ALPHA to TAO and TAO to GBP using quoted market day rates.
Following initial recognition, Alpha Token holdings are carried at fair value. Increases in carrying value are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to the revaluation reserve. Decreases that reverse previously recognised gains are charged against the revaluation reserve; all other decreases are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss as a fair value loss on intangible assets.
Disposals are recognised at the carrying value of the tokens at the date of sale, with any surplus or deficit recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

On 5th November 2025, 17,150,070 shares were allotted with a nominal value of £0.001 each with a premium of £0.06.
During the period, warrants over ordinary shares were exercised. The warrants had originally been issued with a subscription price of £0.01 per share and became exercisable following admission. As a result of the exercise, the Company issued 250,000 additional ordinary shares, with the nominal value recognised in share capital and the excess proceeds over nominal value recognised in share premium.
The ordinary shares have attached to them full voting, dividend and capital distribution (including on winding up) rights. They do not confer any right of redemption.
