Satsuma Technology PLC (LSE: SATS), a public company pioneering the convergence of decentralised AI and Bitcoin treasury management, today announces unaudited interim financial statements for the period from 1 June 2025 to 8 August 2025. Restated interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 May 2025 are also included, which supersede the financial statements released on 10 July 2025*.

In light of the significant proceeds received from its recent fundraising and given the Company's leadership in emerging asset classes, the Board has determined that it is appropriate to provide more frequent financial disclosure than the statutory minimum. The release of these interim statements outside the ordinary reporting cadence is therefore intended to give investors clear visibility on the Company's financial position, balance sheet strength and treasury holdings.

Highlights:

£168.9 million raised via Convertible Loan Notes during the period, providing significant capital to support the growth strategy and demonstrating institutional investor support

Treasury holdings include 1,148.647 BTC, valued at approximately £99.6 million as at 8 August 2025, plus cash and cash equivalents of approximately £54.0 million

Higher utilisation of the subnet and increasing revenues

Significant progress made in establishing the highest standards of infrastructure and governance, with a renewed commitment to investor transparency

Henry K. Elder, CEO, commented:

"The last two months have been transformative for Satsuma, culminating in our milestone £164m capital raise. This positions us at the powerful convergence of applied AI and corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Our real-time AI agents are already delivering critical intelligence for institutional treasury management, a capability directly strengthened by our own growing Bitcoin treasury.

Our focus now is clear: to scale our infrastructure and execute the next phase of our capital plan, cementing our position as the undisputed institutional leader in London and beyond."

*Along with the 8 August 2025 figures, these results include a restatement of the Company's interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 May 2025, originally published on 10 July 2025. In the unaudited interim results released on 10 July 2025 for the three months ended 31 May 2025, the IP was originally presented as a revaluation adjustment. These interim figures have now been amended to reflect a reversal of impairment, consistent with the recognition of cumulative development expenditure and the subsequent reassessment of recoverable amount at £2.157 million. The amended interim disclosures therefore align with the Company's accounting policy and IFRS requirements and should be read as superseding the original publication.

2 Accounting policies

Details of the Group's Accounting Policies can be found in the audited annual financial statements ("annual financial statements") for the year ended 28th February 2025.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union (EU). The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss, and are presented in pounds sterling (£). All amounts have been rounded to the nearest £'000, unless otherwise stated.

During the period a new subsidiary entity, Satsuma Technology Pte Ltd was incorporated in Singapore for the purposes of supporting the Group's treasury operations in a tax and regulatorily favourable jurisdiction. Satsuma Technology Pte Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Satsuma Technology Plc, and its results have been consolidated in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The figures for the period represent the consolidated results for the period since the incorporation of the subsidiary to and at the Balance Sheet date.

The interim financial statements have not been audited. The interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures have been prepared using applicable accounting policies and practices consistent with those adopted in the audited annual financial statements ("annual financial statements") for the year ended 28th February 2025.

The interim financial statements are for the period from 1 June 2025 to 8 August 2025, being three months from the financial year end for the Company being 28 February 2025. The interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the period ended 28 February 2025. The Company has disclosed comparative data for the period from 1st March 25 to 31 May 2025, as well as audited figures from the annual financial statements.

The business is not considered to be seasonal in nature.

New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company

During the current period the Company adopted all the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 March 2025. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company

2.2 Risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties relevant to the Company have not changed materially since the release of the annual financial statements for the period ending 28 February 2025. These risks can be referenced in the strategic report contained within the annual financial statements which were released on 27 June 2025 and are available on the Company's website.

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Share Based Payments

Intangible Assets

Cryptocurrencies

The Company holds significant balance in cryptocurrencies (as detailed in note 5. The accounting for cryptocurrencies is an area that involves judgement, as there is currently no specific IFRS that directly addresses their treatment.

The Group has determined that its cryptocurrency holdings meet the definition of intangible assets under IAS 38 Intangible Assets, as they are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance and are not financial instruments. Management has assessed that the cryptocurrencies are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business and therefore are not classified as inventory under IAS 2.

Where the is no observable market for the cryptocurrency held, the cryptocurrencies are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, as there is no reliably observable active market that would justify the use of a revaluation model under IAS 38. Impairment testing is performed at each reporting date, and this involves estimation of the recoverable amount, typically determined with reference to observable market prices. Impairment losses cannot be reversed under IAS 38, even if the fair value of the cryptocurrency subsequently recovers. Management continues to monitor industry guidance and regulatory developments that may impact the accounting treatment of cryptocurrencies.

Where an active market exists for a particular cryptocurrency held by the company, the company initially recognises the asset at cost and subsequently applies a revaluation model. Increases are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in the Revaluation Reserve, except to the extent that they reverse a revaluation decrease on the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Decreases in carrying amounts are recognised in profit and loss except to the extent that they reverse previous upward revaluations recognised in equity.

The determination of whether an active market exists for a particular cryptocurrency involves judgement, including an assessment of trading volume, bid/ask spread, and market participant activity.

4 Earnings per share

Unaudited At 8 August 2025Unaudited At 31 May 2025Audited At 28 Feb 2025
Loss for the period from continuing operations (£'000)(10,398)2,417(708)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue465,537,050454,210,796399,075,001
Basic and diluted earnings per share for continuing operations (pence)(2.23)0.53(0.18)

The Company had in issue 66,052,333 warrants at 8 August 2025. The profit attributable to equity holders and weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per ordinary share are identical to those used for basic earnings per ordinary share. This is because the exercise of warrants and options would have the effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share and is therefore anti-dilutive.

* The Company initially acquired the core intellectual property (IP) from Flatiron for a consideration of £52,000. Subsequent development and enhancement activities were carried out through the engagement of external developers and technical consultants, with costs settled through a combination of GBP cash payments and equity-settled share issues.

In line with the Company's stated accounting policies and the requirements of IAS 38 Intangible Assets and IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, this expenditure should have been recognised as an intangible asset on initial capitalisation and immediately impaired to nil, reflecting the absence of demonstrable future economic benefits at the time of recognition. This adjustment represents the proper application of the Company's original accounting policy, but does not affect the audited financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2025, which remain unchanged.

In the unaudited interim results released on 10 July 2025 for the three months ended 31 May 2025, the IP was originally presented as a revaluation adjustment. These interim figures have now been amended to reflect a reversal of impairment, consistent with the recognition of cumulative development expenditure and the subsequent reassessment of recoverable amount at £2.157 million. The amended interim disclosures therefore align with the Company's accounting policy and IFRS requirements and should be read as superseding the original publication.

At 8 August 2025 the Group held the following Cryptocurrencies in Treasury:

During the 3-month period ended 31st May 2025, the Company reassessed the fair value of its investment in Roundhouse Digital, an unlisted entity in which the Company holds approximate holdings of 17% equity interest. Based on updated financial information and recent comparable market transactions, the fair value of the investment increased by £375k. The gain of £375k has been recognised in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss under 'Other Comprehensive Income'.

As a result, the carrying amount of the investment was adjusted from £250K to £625K as at 31 May 2025.

There have been no disposals or transfers related to this investment during the period.

The investment is classified as a Level 3 instrument due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation model.

11 Convertible Loan Notes and Warrants

During the period two Convertible Loan Notes were issued ("CLN1" and "CLN2") that are classified as Financial Liabilities at fair value the profit and loss (FVTPL) in accordance with IFRS 9. Details of the Loan Notes are as follows:

CLN1

On 17 June 2025 £5,000,000 in fixed price convertible Loan Notes were issued. The notes are non-interest bearing and convertible at £0.002 per share upon shareholder and regulatory approval by 30 September 2025. The loan notes mature on 30 December 2025 if an automatic conversion has not occurred. The loan notes are secured by first ranking debenture.

Under the terms of CLN1, note holders were given the right to be issued warrants ("Seed Warrants") should a subsequent Convertible Loan Note issue, CLN2, raise in excess of £100m, details of which are set out within the Seed Warrants section below.

The entire £5m proceeds have been allocated to derivative financial liabilities measured at fair value through the profit and loss. All transaction costs have been expensed immediately to the income statement as required under IFRS 9.

CLN2

On 28 July 2025 £163,949,000 in fixed price convertible Loan Notes were issued. The notes are non-interest bearing and convertible at £0.01 per share upon shareholder and regulatory approval by 30 September 2025. The loan notes mature on 30 December 2025 if an automatic conversion has not occurred. The loan notes are secured by first ranking debenture.

The entire £163,949,000 proceeds have been allocated to derivative financial liabilities measured at fair value through the profit and loss. All transaction costs have been expensed immediately to the income statement as required under IFRS 9.

Seed Warrants

Following the successful completion of CLN2, CLN1 holders were entitled to 1,591,560 Seed Warrants to subscribe for shares at £0.002 per share. These warrants were yet to be issued at the Balance Sheet date. Prior to completion of CLN2, the number of Seed Warrants to be issued was unknown, and as such could not be reliably valued. As a result, no amounts were recognised in the accounts in relation to these warrants at the time of the CLN1 issue. As no new consideration was given for these warrants when issued, no warrant reserve has been recognised in equity.

The following amounts are recognised at the balance sheet date as financial liabilities FVTPL:
