Interim Management Report
The Company was formed to undertake an acquisition of a target
company or business or asset(s) in the clean technology and/or
clean, green and renewable energy sector. The Company's shares
began trading on the standard list segment of the London Stock
Exchange's ("LSE") main market for listed securities on 1 July
2022. Even though the Company has only been funded and its shares
publicly traded for a relatively short period of time, we have been
active in executing the Company's objectives as outlined in the
Company's prospectus dated 17 June 2022.
The directors have reviewed numerous potential acquisition
opportunities during the period and provided detailed feedback to
the respective management teams for each opportunity presented to
us. Several of the opportunities, whilst compelling, were too early
in their commercial journey to meet with the requirements of the
Company's objectives.
The directors are currently monitoring several potential
acquisition opportunities and, subject to one or more of these
opportunities being suitable for acquisition by the Company, the
directors currently consider that they could meet the Company's
objectives. Whilst there can be no guarantee that any of the
potential targets being monitored will progress to the Company
making an offer to acquire such target(s), the directors are
encouraged by the opportunities currently under consideration.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing our business are
monitored on an ongoing basis. The directors have reviewed the
principal risks and uncertainties disclosed in the 2022 Annual
Report and concluded that they remain applicable for the first half
of the current financial year. A detailed description of these
risks and uncertainties is set out on pages 3 to 4 of the 2022
annual report.

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Alteration Earth Plc (the 'Company') was incorporated on 18
August 2021 in England and Wales, with registered number 13571750
under Companies Act 2006. The registered office of the company is
c/o Keystone Law, 48 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1JF. The Company is
a public limited company and was admitted to the Standard Listing
segment of the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed
securities on 1 July 2022. The principal activity of the Company is
to undertake an acquisition of a controlling interest in a company
or business in the CGRE sector.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and
the Companies Act 2006.
The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention. The principal accounting policies are set out
below and have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently
for all periods presented in these Financial Statements. The
Financial Statements are prepared in pounds Sterling and presented
to the nearest pound.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future.
The Company has no revenue but has cash resources to finance
activities whilst it identifies and completes suitable transaction
opportunities. When a suitable transaction is identified, the
Directors will consider the need for further funding to complete
the transaction.
Having considered forecasts, the Directors consider that the
Company has sufficient funds available to continue in operational
existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these
accounts. Accordingly, the Board believes it appropriate to adopt
the going concern basis in the approval of the financial
statements.
New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the
Company
The Company has applied the following standards and amendments
for the first time for its annual reporting period commencing 18
August 2021:
* Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 17
"Insurance Contracts"
* Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 16
"Leases"
* Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 9
"Financial Instruments"
* Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IAS 39
"Financial Instruments: Recognition &
Measurement"
* Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 7
"Financial Instruments: Disclosures"
The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the
amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to
significantly affect the current or future periods.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and
interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1
January 2022 and have not been applied in preparing these financial
statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect
on the financial statements of the Company.
There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not
yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on
the Company.
Foreign currency translation
The financial information is presented in Sterling which is the
Company's functional and presentational currency.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency
are recognised at the rates of exchange on the dates of the
transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and
liabilities are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the balance
sheet date with differences recognised in the Statement of
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Financial instruments initial recognition
A financial asset or financial liability is recognised in the
statement of financial position of the Company when it arises or
when the Company becomes part of the contractual terms of the
financial instrument.
Classification
Financial assets at amortised cost
The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both
of the following conditions are met:
(1) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is
to collect contractual cashflows; and
(2) the contractual terms of the financial asset generating cash
flows at specified dates only pertain to capital and interest
payments on the balance of the initial capital.
Financial assets which are measured at amortised cost, are
measured using the Effective Interest Rate Method (EIR) and are
subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or
loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method include current borrowings and trade
and other payables that are short term in nature. Financial
liabilities are derecognised if the Company's obligations specified
in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount
or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral
part of the effective interest rate ("EIR"). The EIR amortisation
is included as finance costs in profit or loss. Trade payables
other payables are non-interest bearing and are stated at amortised
cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised when:
(1) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired, or
(2) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows
from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received
cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has
transferred control of the asset
Impairment
The Company recognises a provision for impairment for expected
credit losses regarding all financial assets. Expected credit
losses are based on the balance between all the payable contractual
cash flows and all discounted cash flows that the Company expects
to receive. Regarding trade receivables, the Company applies the
IFRS 9 simplified approach in order to calculate expected credit
losses. Therefore, at every reporting date, provision for losses
regarding a financial instrument is measured at an amount equal to
the expected credit losses over its lifetime without monitoring
changes in credit risk. To measure expected credit losses, trade
receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared
risk characteristics.
Equity
Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares
that have been issued.
The Share premium account includes any premiums received on the
initial issuing of the share capital. Any transaction costs
associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from the Share
premium account, net of any related income tax benefits.
Equity-settled share-based payments are credited to a
share-based payment reserve as a component of equity until related
options or warrants are exercised or lapse.
Accumulated losses include all current and prior period results
as disclosed in the income statement.
Share Based Payments
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value
(excluding the effect of non-market based vesting conditions) at
date of grant. The fair value so determined is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's
estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest and
adjusted for the effect of non-market based vesting conditions.
Fair value is measured using the Black Scholes pricing model. The
key assumption used in the model have been adjusted, based on
management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability,
exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation
uncertainty
In the process of applying the entity's accounting policies,
management makes estimates and assumptions that have an effect on
the amounts recognised in the financial information. Although these
estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those
estimates. Apart from share based payments and share issue costs
discussed below the Directors consider that there are no other
critical accounting judgements or key sources of estimation
uncertainly relating to the financial information of the
Company.
Share based payments: share warrants
The Company issued warrants to the lead investor and two
directors on 1 July 2022. Equity-settled share-based payments are
measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market based
vesting conditions) at date of grant. The fair value so determined
is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based
on the Company's estimate of the number of shares that will
eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market based
vesting conditions. Fair value is measured using the Black Scholes
pricing model. The key assumption used in the model have been
adjusted, based on management's best estimate of the vesting period
and volatility.
Share Issue costs
The costs of share issues are charged against the share premium
account. Where the share issue costs are incurred concurrently with
another activity such as a stock market admission and/or an issue
of a prospectus or admission document then the costs of these
activities can be difficult to quantify separately and therefore
reliance is placed on management's best estimate of the split of
the costs.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated as the profit or loss
attributable to equity holders of the Company for the period,
adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than
dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the
weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on
conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.
Segmental reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-maker.
The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for
allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments, has been identified as the Board as a whole.
Identifying and assessing investment projects is the only
activity the Company is involved in and is therefore considered as
the only operating/reporting segment. Therefore, the financial
information of the single segment is the same a set out in the
statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial
position.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash represents cash in hand and deposits held on demand with
financial institutions. Cash equivalents are short-term,
highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less (as at their date of acquisition). Cash equivalents are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an
insignificant risk of change in that cash value.
In the presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and
cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts. Any such overdrafts
are shown within borrowings under 'current liabilities' on the
Statement of Financial Position.
Taxation
Tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period.
Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income
statement because it excludes items of income and expense that are
taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items
that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for
current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised 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 initial recognition of
goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business
combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that
affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each
balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow
all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the period when the liability is settled, or the asset
realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss,
except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to
equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in
equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied
by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle
its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Note: the Company is not registered for and cannot reclaim VAT.
Fees are therefore stated inclusive of VAT.
5. INCOME TAX
Interim period income tax is accrued based on the estimated
average annual effective corporate income tax rate of 19 per cent
(18 August 2021 to 31 March 2022: 19 per cent).
Factors affecting future tax charge
The standard rate of corporation tax in the UK is 19%.
Accordingly, the Company's effective tax rate for the period to 31
March 2023 was 19%. With effect from 1 April 2023 the mainstream
corporate tax in the UK increased and the Company's effective
corporation tax rate will increase to 25% from that date.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the period
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
period.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the
weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on
conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.
Reconciliations are set out below.

Share warrants were granted to two directors who were involved
as key management personnel in setting up the Company and
formulating its strategy. Warrants were also granted to the lead
Investor for their role in underwriting the listing costs and
lending support with attracting other investors.
All warrants were issued on the Company's shares being admitted
to trading. Exercise dates and exercise prices are shown in this
note below. The directors' warrants can only be exercised after the
Company completes a reverse takeover (as defined in the FCA's
Listing Rules) and readmission of the Company's issued share
capital to the Official List and to trading on the LSE's main
market for listed securities ("Readmission"). All warrants are
settled in the Company's equity.

The charge for directors' warrants is spread over the 3-year
period from 1 July 2022 being the date of grant. The 3-year period
is determined by the Company having 2 years from 1 July 2022 plus a
possible 1-year extension to agree the terms of a reverse takeover
and be re-admitted to a recognised stock exchange.
The Company determines the fair value of its share options
granted using a model based on the Black- Scholes-Merton
methodology. In determining the fair value of its share options
granted, the Company made the following assumptions.

Expected volatility was determined by reference to historical
data for a similar Special Purpose Acquisition Company in the same
market sector and listed on the same exchange.
The warrants outstanding at the period end have a weighted
average remaining contractual life of 5 years. The exercise price
of the warrants is GBP0.003 per share.
As at 31 March 2023 and at 30 September 2022 there were
2,700,000 warrants outstanding. Details of the warrants outstanding

provide working capital for the Company's operations. The Company

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its
obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,
leading to a financial loss. The Company does not have trading
activities during the current period and is not exposed to a risk
from counterparties not meeting their obligations.
Capital management
The Company considers its capital to be equal to the sum of its
total equity. The Company monitors its capital using a number of
key performance indicators including cash flow projections, working
capital ratios, the cost to achieve development milestones and
potential revenue from partnerships and ongoing licensing
activities.
The Company's objective when managing its capital is to ensure
it obtains sufficient funding for continuing as a going concern.
The Company funds its capital requirements through the issue of new
shares to investors.
Interest rate risk
The nature of the Company's activities and the basis of funding
are such that the Company will have significant liquid resources.
The Company will use these resources to meet the cost of
operations.
The Company is not financially dependent on the income earned on
these resources and therefore the risk of interest rate
fluctuations is not significant to the business and the Directors
have not performed a detailed sensitivity analysis.
Liquidity risk
The Company's liquid resources are invested having regard to the
timing of payment to be made in the ordinary course of the
Company's activities. All financial liabilities are payable in the
short term (between 0 to 3 months) and the Company maintains
adequate bank balances to meet those liabilities. The directors
have considered the Company's cash flows for a period of 12 months
from the date of approval of these financial statements and do not
consider that the Company is subject to any significant liquidity
risk.
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT - continued
Currency risk
The Company operates in a global market with income and costs
possibly arising in a number of currencies. The majority of the
operating costs are incurred in GBP (GBP). The Company does not
hedge potential future income or costs, since the existence,
quantum and timing of such transactions cannot be accurately
predicted. The Company did not have foreign currency exposure at
period end.
