CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The past half-year has presented challenges in the capital
markets due to the upward trend in interest rates, leading to a
general slowdown in markets. The heightened uncertainties have made
investors exercise caution, impacting our ability to identify a
suitable RTO (Reverse Takeover) candidate. Nevertheless, we are
confident in the Company's long-term prospects, and we are actively
exploring all avenues to create shareholder value. During this
period, we are committed to cost-efficiency, as we persist in our
quest for a suitable acquisition target. Further updates regarding
our acquisition search process will be provided in due time.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM ACCOUNTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 July 2023
1. Basis of preparation
The condensed financial statements included in these interim
accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention
and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006
(IFRS).
The condensed consolidated interim financial information has
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard
("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and presented in GBP.
The company was incorporated on 17 September 2021 and was
admitted to Standard List of London Stock Exchange on 4 October
2022. The period under review represents the first interim set of
accounts. The interim financial information for the period ending
31 July 2023 has not been audited. The interim financial report has
been approved by the Board on 20 October 2023.
No comparative information is presented as this is the first
interim reporting period of the Company.
The interim financial information for the six months ended 31
July 2023 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning
of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The Company's business activities, together with the factors
likely to affect its future development, performance and position
are set out in this review. The financial position of the Company,
its cash flows and liquidity position are described in this
business review. As highlighted below, the Company meets its day to
day working capital requirements through its on-going cash
flows.
The principal accounting policies used in preparing these
interim accounts are those expected to be applied in the Company's
Financial Statements for the year ending 31 January 2024.
2. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
these financial results are set out below.
Segment reporting
The Company is currently a cash shell, and the directors believe
that there is no benefit to show any segmental reporting until a
new strategy is undertaken.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held
at call with banks. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand
and form an integral part of the Company's cash management are
included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the
purpose of the cash flow statement.
Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share
options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax
effects.
Taxation
Income tax payable is provided on taxable profits using tax
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet
date.
Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability
method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
consolidated financial results. Deferred tax is determined using
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when
the related balance sheet tax asset is realised or the deferred
liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to
the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be
available against which temporary differences can be utilised.
Income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly
in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based
on historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the
future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial period are discussed below.
Going concern basis of preparation
The Company had approximately GBP910,589 in cash at the period
end. The Directors have prepared the accounts on a going concern
basis as they consider that the company has adequate funding.
3. Earnings (Loss) per share
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the
(loss)/profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares in issue
during the period, excluding Ordinary shares purchased by the
Company and held as treasury shares.
Unaudited

There are no diluted earnings per share as the share warrants
and options currently in issue do not have a dilutive effect.
4. Distribution of Interim Report and Registered Office

Company's website , and copies will be available from the Company's
registered office, 3(rd) Floor, 80 Cheapside, London, EC2A 6E.
