President and CEO’s statement
The year under review has marked a significant change for the company, welcoming Edgar Hernandez to the board as president and Chief Executive Officer. With his appointment, he brings significant investment experience, access to investment opportunities in South America that fit very well within the Company’s investing strategy and industry contacts to structure and fund investment mandates
During the course of the year, the board has reviewed a number of potential investments which has helped it to refine its investment approach and broaden its outlook to balance sources of new funding with structured investments that will work within the Company’s investing policy.
As previously announced, we have been disappointed with the performance of some of our legacy investments. In conjunction with the boards renewed focus, we undertook a careful review of the existing portfolio and wrote-off several underperforming and non-aligned legacy investments being Oncocyte (Chronix) and Saxa Gres.
The board continues to support its investment strategy of investing in sectors shaped by long-term demographic shifts, which include factors such as ageing populations, urbanisation, generational changes in consumer behaviour and the evolving nature of work. These trends are structural rather than cyclical, and we believe they will be central to future demand, innovation, and sustainable growth and include industries such as agritech driving by consumption changes or global warming, digital transformation which may include artificial intelligence, financial technology or general growth in global connectivity and healthcare. These are not exhaustive and the board considered the rapid rate of change in South America to offer a wealth of opportunities that are already adopted in more developed countries.
Working within our existing investing strategy, our investment approach now centres on two complementary pillars:
We consider this dual focus will enables us to identify and scale businesses that are both undervalued and structurally sound, where effective management and access to capital can accelerate their growth. Operating within this framework, out deal pipeline has improved in both quality and depth, and we look forward to the next stage of the Company’s development where we will be deploying resources into opportunities aligned with our strategic thesis.
On behalf of the board, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued trust and support. We remain firmly committed to transparency, disciplined performance, and building a company that earns and rewards your confidence and we look forward to providing the market with updates on potential investee companies.
Edgar J. Hernández C.

The address of the registered office is Suite 2, Northside House, Mount Pleasant, Barnet, Hertfordshire, England, EN4 9EB.
The Investing Policy is to invest principally, but not exclusively, in sectors where changing demographic factors are important drivers of growth. The Company intends to focus initially on projects located in Europe but will also consider investments in other geographical regions. The Company may become an active investor, acquire controlling stakes or minority positions, in each case, as the Board considers appropriate and commercial.
The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling, which is the Company’s functional and presentational currency.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied throughout the period, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and IFRIC interpretations and with Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRSs. The financial statements have also been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed later in these accounting policies.
(a) Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

| Pence | Pence | |
| Basic earnings per share from continuing operations | (0.579) | (0.149) |
