Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to present my Chairman's Statement for the six months to 30 June 2026.

This period represents the first reported accounting period which includes a full contribution from the businesses acquired from S-Ventures plc last year. Further details of the performance of our underlying businesses are set out in the CEO's Report.

However, in essence, Juvela and OAF have continued to perform strongly, particularly with OAF increasing its listings in Tesco and Asda. Despite a difficult start to the year, Pulsin has turned a corner, re-building its sales and reducing operating costs.

We have also raised some additional capital and, in line with our stated strategy, we have been actively looking at acquisitions, although we will only proceed if they meet our exacting criteria.  Post-period end, we disposed of Market Rocket which will help us to focus on the building of exciting brands in the wellness sector.

We are optimistic that this progress will continue into the second half of 2026.

Nicholas Lee

Non-Executive Chairman

CEO's Report

We are pleased with the progress made across the Group during the first six months of the year, with our operating businesses delivering over £1 million of EBITDA in the period.

A segmental summary of the trading performance of our operating business is shown below which are directly comparable across the periods and represent 100% of the results for these businesses.

Segment	Company	Six months ended 30 June 2026	Six months ended 30 June 2025	Year ended  31 December 2025
		£'000	£'000	£'000
Plant Based Nutrition	Pulsin, We Love Purely	747	1,558	2,596
Bakery	Juvela	3,541	3,715	7,585
Technical Services	Market Rocket	917	961	2,083
	Total net sales	5,205	6,234	12,264
Plant Based Nutrition	Pulsin, We Love Purely	154	44	(13)
Bakery	Juvela	809	750	1,556
Technical Services	Market Rocket	99	(11)	136
	Total EBITDA	1,062	783	1,679

·    After a slow 1^st quarter, due to supply chain issues, Pulsin is now performing well and this should be reflected in the full year results.  The improved EBITDA is due to the significant cost savings achieved following the change to outsourced production.

·    Juvela has achieved strong growth in its retail OAF sales and sales in the prescription segment were broadly maintained, albeit slightly below the comparative period.

·    Market Rocket continued to perform in line with the previous year.

OAF has made a particularly strong start to the year, delivering over 100% year-on-year growth in the first six months. This performance demonstrates the growing momentum within the business and provides us with confidence in its prospects for the remainder of the year and beyond. Distribution of the brand within our major retailer customers has grown markedly with increased listings in Tesco during the period and new listings in Asda from April 2026. Our prescription business continues to perform steadily and remains a stable contributor to the Group.

At Pulsin, we are encouraged to see the business returning to growth, reflecting the work undertaken to strengthen its proposition and position it for sustainable future development.

Overall, we are happy with the results achieved in the first half. The combination of strong growth at OAF, stability within the Juvela prescription business and renewed momentum at Pulsin demonstrates the progress being made across our portfolio.

We remain focused on executing our strategy, building on the momentum established to date and delivering further growth during the remainder of the year.  This also included looking in detail at a significant acquisition, albeit after further work we decided not to proceed with it.

New funds were also raised, amounting to a gross cash figure of £980,000 and debt conversion of £300,000.

Post period end, Market Rocket was sold enabling improved focus on managing and developing leading consumer brands.

We look forward to the second half with confidence.

The group's statutory financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2025, prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as used in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagement 2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.

The Directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements as the Company is in a position to meet all its liabilities as they fall due.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the accounts of the parent company and those of the five subsidiaries for the six months to 30 June 2026, after elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions.
