Outlook

David Halley, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are excited about the prospects for Gfinity as we enter the second half of the financial year. The period under review saw meaningful progress across all three of our growth pillars: Gfinity Digital Media returned to consistent profitability, Connected IQ is starting to generate commercial revenue and building momentum with brands and agencies, and Yentra.AI is creating an entirely new revenue stream in the fast-growing sovereign AI market.

Connected IQ's proprietary contextual advertising technology is differentiated and in demand. We are in active discussions with major advertising agencies for broader deployment of the technology and see significant potential in white-label licensing partnerships as a scalable and capital-light route to commercialisation.

Yentra.AI's Evolve product is addressing one of the most pressing challenges facing organisations globally - how to deploy AI in a way that protects data and intellectual property.

Gfinity has excellent IP and technology in its AI-enabled contextual advertising platform, a lean and focused operating model, and multiple routes to meaningful revenue growth. We look forward to the remainder of FY26 with confidence and anticipate strong revenue growth in the coming months and thereafter into 2026."

Operational Review:

The six months to 31 December 2025 represented a period of continued transformation and commercial progress for Gfinity, with the Group executing across its three core business areas: Gfinity Digital Media, Connected IQ and Yentra.AI.

Gfinity Digital Media ("GDM")

GDM continued its recovery during the period. Following a challenging FY25 for the broader digital advertising market - characterised by Google algorithm changes and increasing competitive pressure from AI-generated content - the division pursued a renewed focus on direct sponsorship partnerships and social media revenue streams, which drove an improvement in both the quality and value of revenues generated.

The positive trajectory that emerged in Q4 FY25, when GDM revenues increased by up to 60% compared to Q1 FY25, carried into the current period, with the division returning to profitability. The transition to a flexible, freelance-focused operating model, implemented during FY25, continued to deliver operational benefits, with cost of sales remaining broadly flat whilst revenues grew. The gaming and esports sector continues to attract a large and engaged global audience, and the Board believes there remains long-term demand for the quality gaming content produced across the Group's portfolio of websites. The Directors continue to monitor the evolving landscape of AI-driven search and content discovery and are adapting the business accordingly.

Connected IQ ("CIQ")

CIQ, the Group's exclusive AI-driven contextual advertising technology licensed from 0M Technology Solutions Ltd and specifically targeted at the connected video market, made commercial and product progress during the period.

Following the execution of the binding commercial agreement in January 2025 and first revenues from brand campaigns in April and May 2025, CIQ continued to generate revenue from campaigns during the six months to December 2025. The commercial team advanced discussions with major advertising agencies for broader deployment of the technology, and the Group is exploring potential white-label technology partnerships that could provide a scalable and capital-light route to wider commercialisation.

Product development progressed meaningfully during the period, including the integration of AI agentic software designed to automate parts of the media planning process for advertising agencies, improvements to the platform's emotion detection capabilities to better analyse the underlying emotional themes of video content, and the development of a self-serve interface allowing US companies to access CIQ's contextual services directly. These enhancements broaden the addressable market for CIQ and support the Group's strategy of commercialising the technology across multiple client channels.

Yentra.AI

Yentra.AI, the Group's AI consulting and engineering business unit - 51% owned by Gfinity and led by an experienced management and engineering team - made good progress during the period with the formal launch of Evolve.

Evolve is an AI product designed to empower companies, countries and educational institutions to build and deploy ethical, sovereign AI systems that are owned and operated by their users, protecting their intellectual property and data from incorporation into third-party large language models. The sovereign AI market is experiencing unprecedented demand, as organisations increasingly recognise that data sovereignty is both a compliance imperative and a source of strategic competitive advantage.

Yentra.AI is actively working to onboard initial partners partners across the education and enterprise sectors, driving innovation in privacy-preserving AI. The Board believes this positions Yentra.AI well to capture a share of a fast-growing and strategically important market.

Financial Review:

Revenue for the six months to 31 December 2025 increased by 8% to £421,381 (H1 FY25: £390,099), reflecting improvement across the GDM division and initial contributions from CIQ campaigns.

Gross profit improved to £161,940 (H1 FY25: £129,935), with the gross margin expanding to 38.4% from 33.3% in the comparative period. This improvement reflects the Group's strategic pivot towards more value-added revenue streams, with cost of sales remaining broadly stable at £259,442 (H1 FY25: £260,164) whilst revenues grew.

Administrative expenses decreased to £382,022 (H1 FY25: £401,220), a reduction of approximately 5%, reflecting the continued benefit of the Group's lean operating model and disciplined approach to cost management. The operating loss for the period was £220,082 (H1 FY25: £271,285), an improvement of £51,203, as the combined benefits of revenue growth, improved margins and ongoing cost discipline narrowed the deficit.

Finance costs of £13,862 (H1 FY25: nil) relate to interest on the convertible loan note. The loss before taxation for the period was £233,944 (H1 FY25: £271,284).

The Group successfully raised net proceeds of £355,000 (gross: £380,000, issue costs: £25,000) through an equity placing during the period, providing additional working capital and investment capacity to support the commercialisation of CIQ and the development of Yentra.AI.

The Group's cash position improved materially to £430,788 at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: £137,878; 31 December 2024: £60,602). Net cash used in operating activities improved to an outflow of £75,082 (H1 FY25: £162,060 outflow), reflecting the improvement in trading and a reduction in trade receivables of £180,085 as cash collections strengthened.

The Board continues to monitor the Group's financial position carefully. As noted in the 2025 Annual Report, the auditors noted a material uncertainty with regards to going concern, conditional upon certain growth targets being achieved within 12 months of the date of the Annual Report. The Directors are encouraged by the progress made during the period across all three business areas and continue to believe that the growth targets are reasonable and attainable. The Board therefore considers the going concern basis of preparation to remain appropriate.
