I write this statement having assumed the role vacated by Simon Mann, who passed away suddenly in May 2025. His loss is deeply felt across the Company and among all who had the privilege of working with him. On the very day of his passing, Simon remained fully engaged, attending an HUI Board meeting that afternoon-an enduring reflection of his commitment and energy. He was not only a valued colleague and a close ally of our Chief Executive Officer, but also a visionary whose perspective broadened the Company's strategic horizons, particularly in relation to our growing engagement with the Middle East. Many of the foundations we are building today bear his influence. His conviction that "HUI must work because it's right" continues to guide the Board's thinking and remains central to our purpose. We are committed to carrying forward his legacy with discipline, focus and ambition, and our thoughts remain with his family.

The year under review has been one of significant strategic progress for the Company. Through disciplined execution facilitated by the unending and total commitment of our CEO Aleksandra Binkowska who was wholly responsible for identifying and relentlessly tracking down the InEnTec technology and the careful allocation of resources, HUI has secured an exclusive ten-year licence with effective perpetuity option to deploy InEnTec's commercially proven PEM® Melter technology across the Middle East and North Africa, welcomed its first institutional investor and established a formal presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia all of which will facilitate an $800 million mixed plastic waste to SAF facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia lead by its Visionary leader Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS). In October 2025, the Board formalised a strategic refocus on core plastic-to-hydrogen operations, alongside an accelerated expansion into the Gulf Cooperation Council. Whilst Europe continues to advance its hydrogen policy framework, the GCC currently presents a more immediate opportunity, supported by strong governmental commitment, capital deployment and a clear appetite for waste-to-hydrogen solutions. InEnTec's unique technology, with over a decade of commercial operating history on more than 10 operating systems, including Dow Chemicals as an end user, is well aligned with these regional priorities, and the reception we have received in Saudi Arabia and across the wider GCC has been enthusiastic, constructive and encouraging.

As a Board, we believe that our primary technology, while still at an early stage, is both viable and likely to play an important role as the hydrogen economy continues to evolve. We have invested substantial resources in its development and have made significant progress alongside our partners Linde GmBh and Electron.

We remain fully aware of developments in other jurisdictions and intend to continue our advancement, however, in the current risk-adverse market environment we must also act prudently with our working capital to de-risk capital exposure at this stage. We remain confident in the project and its long-term viability. Our Chief Executive Officer has been approached by a Japanese company to explore a potential research and development collaboration to deploy the technology, although this remains at a very early stage.

During the year, HUI achieved several important milestones in the region. In November 2025, the Company was granted an Investment Registration Certificate by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia, enabling it to operate as a wholly foreign- owned entity within the Kingdom. In December, the Research, Development and Innovation Authority formally endorsed HUI's deployment plans, facilitating engagement with potential institutional funding channels. The Company has also developed constructive relationships with key stakeholders, including the Saudi Investment Recycling Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) the trillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund, in alignment with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 objectives. Hydrogen Utopia LLC-the KSA wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated in January 2026 and is now operationally positioned to support regional activities, alongside a signed Memorandum of Understanding with a local deployment partner.

Beyond Saudi Arabia, progress has also been made in Oman, where local partners have committed to raising initial capital to support the deployment of InEnTec technology. In addition, the Company entered into a Binding Outline Agreement with BPODash, a US-based AI analytics company, to integrate predictive analytics into future MENA facilities, further strengthening HUI's positioning at the intersection of clean energy and digital innovation.

I firmly believe that, with such strong backing from the GCC, we will be well positioned to raise the necessary funding in the HUI's KSA Subsidiary of HUI, both for working capital and for the deployment of the giga-project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The current political environment further supports this view, as Saudi Arabia is increasingly prioritising domestic investment and scaling back on projects outside the Kingdom.

With regard to the loans provided to Ohrid Organics Ltd, some of the loans were repaid during 2025 with the remainder expected to be repaid during 2026 as both companies mutually agreed not to continue with the acquisition of a significant shareholding by HUI. The Chief Executive Officer has assumed direct responsibility for this process and is in direct and constant contact. Ohrid have provided supporting documentation of their inventory and trade debtors which provide security to the board that the balance is recoverable in full, not least as a large proportion of the loans is supported by my personal guarantee.

The Board has been strengthened during the year with the addition of individuals whose expertise supports the Company's strategic direction. Naser Nuredini, former Minister of Environment and Physical Planning of North Macedonia, joined in June, bringing valuable insight into environmental policy and regulatory frameworks. In July, Richard Fish, a recognised authority in plasma gasification technology, was appointed as a Non-Executive Director, further enhancing the Company's technical capability. I have known and worked with Richard from previous plasma technology propositions and I am delighted to have his vast wealth of experience and contacts in the industry that give us an enormous advantage with technical sales and deep understanding of the InEnTec process.

I would also like to acknowledge the exceptional and continued commitment of the Board, which has operated without financial remuneration throughout the year, instead agreeing to share options in a sign of their continued long-term commitment to HUI. The Chief Executive Officer has provided additional support to the Company through the temporary lending against her personal shareholdings, and both executive and non-executive directors have invested their own capital. I believe this is a very unusual approach from the directors of a PLC and I would suggest we are one of the lowest cost LSE Boards on the market. This approach reflects not only a shared commitment to preserving resources and prioritising long-term value creation but in my view the true sense of what a listed company that is pre- revenue should not create a life-style company for its directors at the expense of our shareholders for whom we are engaged to create wealth for all parties.

The Company's financial performance during the period reflects a continued focus on cost disciplineand prudent capital management. Administrative expenses for the six months to 30 June 2025 were significantly reduced compared with the prior year, whilst cash reserves improved over the same period.

Two equity placings were completed during the year to support the Company's strategic objectives including the participation of an institutional investor in December 2025, representing an important step in broadening the shareholder base. Whilst the Company remains in the development phase, the Board is encouraged by the progress achieved with a relatively modest capital base, and maintaining financial discipline will remain a key priority as the Company advances towards project execution.

HUI enters 2026 with a strengthened strategic position, supported by its exclusive InEnTec licence across the Middle East and North Africa, an established presence in Saudi Arabia, positive institutional engagement and an enhanced Board. The Company's focus in the year ahead will be on progressing from platform development to project execution, including advancing discussions with regional partners and converting opportunities into contracted deployments. This next phase will be critical in establishing long-term revenue streams and demonstrating the commercial scalability of the Company's model. Whilst recognising the inherent challenges associated with scaling infrastructure projects in emerging sectors, not least because of the current conflict in the region, the Board remains confident that the foundations established during 2025 provide a robust platform for future growth as we continue advanced talks with current and new partners in the region as business continues unabated.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and patience. The progress achieved during the year reflects a collective effort and a shared belief in the Company's long-term potential. Simon Mann believed, unwaveringly, that HUI must work because it is the right thing to do, and we remain committed to honouring that belief through disciplined execution and responsible growth.

Chief Executive Officer's statement

Dear Shareholders,

There are moments when technology, timing, and geopolitical necessity converge. I believe we are living through one of those moments now, and HUI is positioned at its centre. History does not move in straight lines. It spirals, returning to the same great questions again and again, but each time from a higher vantage point, with better tools and deeper understanding. The question of where we find our energy, and how we secure it, is as old as civilisation itself. What has changed is our capacity to answer it definitively, cleanly, and at scale. That is what HUI was founded to do, and this past year has been the most significant in our pursuit of that answer.

Due to the current risk-averse market, we have made the decision not to prioritise the continued development of our own technology until a more established opportunity arises. Instead, we made a considered choice to secure access to what already works. Our mission over the last year has been to partner with InEnTec and anchor our entire strategy to their TRL9 plasma-enhanced melter technology, a system with thirteen years of proven operational history, capable of converting non-recyclable mixed waste plastic, tyres, and hazardous materials into 99.999% and low-carbon hydrogen. What has changed this year is that the world has finally positioned itself to deploy this technology at scale, and we have positioned ourselves at the centre of that moment with precision.

Our strategic focus has been unwavering: securing exclusive rights to InEnTec's plasma-enhanced melter technology and building a deep, enduring partnership with them as our operational foundation, and we have now done exactly that, having signed exclusive rights for the entire MENA region with InEnTec. This is not one promising technology among many; it is the only proven, working system in the world capable of destroying what was previously considered indestructible: mixed plastics, tyres, hazardous and medical waste. We have worked closely with InEnTec to advance this relationship and the progress we have made positions HUI as the definitive commercial partner for a process that does not merely manage waste. It eliminates it, and turns it into something the world urgently needs.

Our primary commercial focus is now SAF production, where we have developed a cost position we believe no competitor can match. Underpinned by InEnTec's technology, we are able to offer customers very long-term power purchase agreements, in some cases extending to twenty years, providing a certainty of price and supply for jet fuel that no conventional competitor is in a position to match. Alongside this, we have made significant advances toward the decarbonisation of steel and cement, two of the world's most emissions-intensive industries, long resistant to viable clean alternatives. Waste-derived hydrogen has changed that equation, and we have spent this year proving it.

The GCC and wider MENA region is where we have chosen to execute this strategy, and the results have vindicated that choice decisively. These nations have not been cautiously edging away from oil dependency; they have been doing so with speed, capital, and genuine industrial ambition. We have found in Saudi Arabia and Oman partners who grasped our proposition immediately, where others took years to consider it. We believe that others will follow. We have secured our MISA licence from the Ministry of Investment, Saudi Arabia, and at IFAT Saudi Arabia, we signed an MOU with SIRC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund, and it was the only Company in the world to do so.

There is something almost Hegelian in how this moment has arrived. The contradictions of fossil fuel dependency, environmental, strategic, and economic, have been accumulating quietly for decades, and the current geopolitical crisis has forced them suddenly into the open. Energy security has become as urgent as climate security, and clean, sovereign, waste- derived fuel answers both simultaneously. We did not design our strategy around this crisis. But as the philosopher reminds us, the owl of Minerva spreads its wings only at dusk, and it is precisely in moments of rupture that the value of what has been quietly built becomes visible to all. We have spent years building. The world has now turned to look.

To our long-term shareholders, whose patience has been a genuine source of strength: the technology is proven, the partnerships are real, and the market has arrived. I believe that patience is about to be rewarded.

GROUP STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2025

Profit for the financial year is all attributable to the owners of the parent company.

Total comprehensive income for the year is all attributable to the owners of the parent company.

The income statement has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.

GROUP STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2025

NOTES TO THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1 Accounting policies

Company information

Hydrogen Utopia International PLC ("the company") is a public company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is C/O Laytons Llp, Yarnwicke, 119-121 Cannon Street, London,

EC4N 5AT. The company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the directors' report.

The group consists of Hydrogen Utopia International PLC and all of its subsidiaries.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under this standard, except as otherwise stated.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

1.2 Business combinations

The cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill.

The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probable and can be measured reliably, and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date.

Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition date.

1.3 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company Hydrogen Utopia International PLC together with all entities controlled by the parent company

(its subsidiaries) and the group's share of its interests in joint ventures and associates.

Entities in which the group holds an interest and which are jointly controlled by the group and one or more other venturers under a contractual arrangement are treated as joint ventures. Entities other than subsidiary undertakings or joint ventures, in which the group has a participating interest and over whose operating and financial policies the group exercises a significant influence, are treated as associates.

1.4 Going concern

The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months. In coming to this conclusion, the directors have reviewed the group's working capital requirements over the next 18 months.

Reasonable downside sensitivities have been considered under differing scenarios in the working capital model all of which show the group has available financial resources to meet all commitments as they fall due.

The cash position at the year-end was £500,068. Future working capital is reliant on funding from Ohrid Organics through the repayment of loans. Should the receipt of loan repayments from Ohrid Organics not happen, then the group faces uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. Ohrid organics have provided inventory reports and details of court sanctioned liens over property in relation to debtors of Ohrid Organics. Therefore, whilst there is strong documentation to support the repayment of these loans, there can be no certainty that these funds will be received which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty

which may cast doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the group was unable to continue as a going concern. If such a situation arose alternative funding would be sort such as a small fund raise. The directors continue to monitor cash forecasts closely and are involved in the day to day running of the business.

Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.5 Property, plant and equipment

Computers 20% Straight line

Intangible Development Indefinite*

Intangible IP 10% straight line

* Refer to note 1.7

1.6 Non-current investments

The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

1.7 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At each reporting end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets 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 the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The intangible asset noted in the financial statements HUI Pyrolysis is recognised at cost and consists predominantly of the knowledge gained from the continued technological development of the HUI chemical conversion chamber and the full-scale system to be implemented into a HUI plant. This intangible has been assessed to have indefinite useful life as there is no limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows once implemented into HUI power plants.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The discount rate used for this asset is 13.64%. Management have assessed the recoverable amount of the asset with regards to: market value

declines,negative changes in technology, markets, economy or laws, increases in market interest rates, net assets of the company higher than market capitalisation, obsolescence or physical damage, asset being held of disposal, as well as, worse performance than expected.

Many intangible assets are susceptible to technological obsolescence. Therefore, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

The additions to the intangible assets represent the license agreement secured for exclusive operational use of InEnTec's proven PEM Melter gasification technology across the MENA region for a term of 10 years.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The discount rate used for this asset is 13.64%. Management have based the recoverable amount on the below assumptions: technical or commercial obsolescence, maintenance requirements of the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

1.9 Financial assets

Financial assets held at amortised cost

Financial instruments are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost where the objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. They arise principally from the provision of goods and services to customers (eg trade receivables). They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment where necessary. For more information see the Directors' report.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Debt instruments are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income where the financial assets are held within the group's business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction cost directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, each asset is measured at fair value, with changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses recognized through other comprehensive income are directly transferred to retained earnings when the equity instrument is derecognized or its fair value substantially decreased. Dividends are recognized as finance income in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Derecognition of financial assets

1.10 Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is held for trading. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

• it has been incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term, or
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking, or
• it is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Derecognition of financial liabilities

1.11 Equity instruments

1.12 Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting end date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset, whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are classified as current.

1.13 Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are

generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

1.14 Employee benefits

1.15 Retirement benefits

1.16 Share-based payments

In the case of options granted, fair value is measured by a Black-Scholes pricing model.

1.17 Leases

At inception, the group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease within the scope of IFRS 16.

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Where a tangible asset is acquired through a lease, the group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets are

included within property, plant and equipment, apart from those that meet the definition of investment property.

1.18 Foreign exchange

2 New accounting standards and interpretations

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

From 1 January 2025, the group has adopted the following standards and interpretations, mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025:

The application of these standards has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

The group has elected not to early adopt the following revised and amended standards:

Management has reviewed and considered these new standards and interpretations and none of these are expected to have a material effect on the reported results or financial position of the group.

3 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In applying the group's accounting policies, management continually evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the group. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions. Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below.

Critical judgements

Impairment assessment of intangibles (note 13)

The ultimate recovery of the value of the group's intangibles as at 31 December 2025 is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, the sale of the chemical conversion facility.

Judgement was exercised in assessing the extent to which impairment existed as at 31 December 2025 in respect of the Hydrogen chemical conversion project and associated balances. In forming this assessment, internal and external factors were evaluated, including those that applied last year. Management determined that no impairment existed having considered the company's market capitalisation relative to the group's net asset value, the progression of the Hydrogen conversion Project and the feasibility study equivalent assessment. The underlying financial model involves estimates regarding commodity prices, operating costs and capital development together with discount rates and demonstrates significant headroom.

Impairment of assessment of the Group's investments (note 15)

The company did not exercise the sale of the TRIFOL investment during the period as TRIFOL was able to raise significant equity to continue the development of its technology. As such the directors exercised their judgement and have held the value of the investment in TRIFOL. In assessing the impairment of investment, the directors exercised judgement over the reasonableness of projections and considered the status of the project, together with the implied economic value of the assets, and concluded that the impairment provision made was appropriate.

Recoverability of loan receivable (note 17)

Management have reviewed the recoverability and performed an ECL assessment of the loan receivable balance owed from Ohrid Organics Limited (OOL) and consider it fully recoverable. Management have obtained personal guarantees from the controlling director of OOL and considered the likelihood of recovery of this balance due to the future economic outlook of OOL and the guarantee on the loan.

Recognition of R&D tax credits (note 10)

R&D tax credits are recognised when reliable estimates of the future benefits have been made and when it is reasonably certain that the tax credit will be received. Management have considered the nature of the tax

claims, the limited history of successful tax claims and receipt thereof. Management also do not recognise any tax credits before submissions have been made to the relevant tax authority.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Share-based payment transactions (note 24)

The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with directors and others by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black- Scholes valuation model for awards that are not subject to market-based performance conditions.

These models require estimates for inputs such as share price volatility and risk-free rate. The share-based payment arrangements are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. At each reporting date, vesting assumptions are reviewed to ensure they reflect current expectations and immediately recognise any impact of the revision to original estimates.

If fully vested share options are not exercised and expire, then the accumulated expense in respect of these is reclassified to accumulated losses.

Fair value of financial assets carried at amortised cost

Except as detailed below, the directors believe that the carrying amounts of financial assets carried at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate to their fair values.

16 Subsidiaries

Details of the company's subsidiaries at 31 December 2025 are as follows:

Geleen, The Netherlands

The investments in subsidiaries are all stated at cost. Plastic Gold is a wholly controlled subsidiary by way of its shareholders giving full control to the directors of HUI PLC. The following subsidiaries are exempt from audit: Plastic Gold I.K.E. and HU Future B.V. During the year the following subsidiaries were shut down: Alister Future Technologies (AFT) Limited (Ireland), Eranova Longford Ltd (Ireland) and Hydropolis United (Poland).

17 Trade and other receivables

See note 31 for further details on Ohrid loan as part of Other receivables.

18 Trade and other payables

Trade payables and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and ongoing costs. The average credit period taken for trade purchases is 27 days. For most suppliers no interest is charged on amounts payable for the first 30 days after the date of the invoice. Thereafter, interest is charged at various rates. The company has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that all payables are paid within the pre-agreed credit terms.

The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade payables approximates to their fair value.

19 Borrowings

The shareholder loans are interest bearing at 5% at year end the additional shareholder loan of €75,000 was repayable by December 2026, however, during April 2026 the shareholders loans repayment date was extended to December 2028. The shareholder loans are convertible at 5p per convertible share. The directors loans have

a repayment date on a rolling 18 month period. £199,755 are interest bearing at 4.5% with the remaining

£89,367 being interest free.

Liquidity risk management

Responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the company's funding and liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. In line with Note 18, the Company always pay their suppliers within contractual terms and per the cashflow and going concern note 1.4 the company has no liquidity issues as current assets, out way current liabilities. With regards to shareholder and director loans, see note 19 Borrowings for contractual obligations and repayment terms on these loans.

21 Market risk

Market risk management

Foreign exchange risk

Whilst the company takes steps to minimise its exposure to foreign exchange risk, changes in foreign exchange rates will have an impact on profit or loss.

The main currencies in which the Group operates are the Pound Sterling, United Stated Dollar, Polish Złoty and the Euro.

The group's principal foreign currency exposures arise from trading with overseas companies. Group policy permits but does not demand that these exposures may be hedged in order to fix the cost in sterling.

Interest rate risk

Whilst the company takes steps to minimise its exposure to cash flow interest rate risk, changes in interest rates will have an impact on profit.

The group currently has minimal exposure to fair value interest rate risk due to lack of borrowings through bank overdrafts and loans.

22 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. As the Company is currently pre-revenue, it does not have large exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables.

The Company's exposure to credit risk arises primarily from:

• Loans advanced to investee companies and project vehicles
• Amounts due from related parties, including directors
• Amounts due to related parties, including directors
• Cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions

Measurement of Expected Credit Losses

The Company applies the general approach under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to measure expected credit losses on loan receivables and related party balances.

Under this approach:

• A 12-month expected credit loss is recognised on initial recognition
• A lifetime expected credit loss is recognised where there has been a significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly, the Company considers:

• The financial performance and funding position of investee entities
• Progress against project milestones
• Changes in the economic environment

Given the early-stage nature of many investee companies, these loans are inherently higher risk and may be subject to increased uncertainty in recoverability.

Management have reviewed the recoverability and performed an ECL assessment of the loan receivable balance owed from Ohrid Organics Limited (OOL) and consider it fully recoverable.
