CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
I have pleasure in presenting the
financial statements of Pri0r1ty Intelligence Group PLC (formerly
Alteration Earth PLC) ("Company") which cover the Company's
reporting period for the year ended 30 September 2024.
The Company has not carried out
any commercial activity since its incorporation and was established
as a special purpose acquisition company. Pursuant to its stated
strategy, on 30 December 2024 the Company acquired as a Reverse
Takeover ("RTO") Pri0r1ty AI Ltd ("PAI") ("Acquisition") to
crystallize and unlock potential future value for Shareholders. The
Company was previously on the standard list of the main market of
the London Stock Exchange. On the RTO of PAI on the Company left
the standard list and the Company's shares were admitted to trading
on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange.
Information relating to the
Company's completion of the RTO of PAI is set out in the Notes to
the Financial Statements at note 15, Events After The Reporting
Date.
Financial
Funding
During the financial period, the
Company spent £296k (2023: £273k) on administrative costs and at 30
September 2024 held cash of £579k (2023: £828k). This was
sufficient to fund the Company to completion of the Acquisition, at
which time the Company raised additional funding on Admission (note
16).
Revenue
The Company has generated no
revenue during the year However, the Acquisition is expected to
generate future revenue for the Company.
Liquidity, cash and cash equivalents
At 30 September 2023, the Company
held £579k (2023: £828k) of cash all of which is denominated in
pounds sterling.
Board contribution
I would like to thank the previous
Board members who have stepped down, Andrew Coull on 3 July 2024,
and Martin Samworth the former Chairman on 30 December 2024
following the Acquisition, for their contributions to the
successful outcome of the Acquisition transaction and the work the
Board has undertaken.
........................................................................
M P Beardmore - Chairman

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
The directors present their
strategic report for the year ended 30 September 2024.
Understanding our business
The Company was incorporated on 18
August 2021, with the purpose of pursuing an admission of its
securities onto the London Stock Exchange through its Standard
Listing on 1 July 2022, in order to pursue its business
strategy.
The Company's business strategy
was to undertake an acquisition of a target company, business or
asset(s) in the clean technology and/or clean, green and renewable
energy ("CGRE") sector in the UK or outside, which could include
physical assets and/or companies, businesses or assets with
technology and/or services relevant to the CGRE sector.
On 30 December 2024 the Company
successfully executed its strategy, completing the Acquisition
(note 16), including de-listing from the Standard List and
re-listing the Company's shares on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange.
KEY PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS
The Company's use of key
performance indicators was limited to cash management up to the
date of Acquisition, following which additional, appropriate key
performance indicators for the enlarged operating business will be
identified and implemented in due course.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and
uncertainties of the Company post-Acquisition are materially
different from those faced by the Company
pre-acquisition.
Principal risks and uncertainties
faced during the reporting year ended 30 September 2024 and to date
of Acquisition
These risks and uncertainties
related to:
* Suitable Acquisition Opportunity Identified may not be
Completed
The Company's business strategy
was dependent on the ability of the Directors and their external
advisors to identify and complete a suitable acquisition
opportunity. If the Directors did not complete the target
acquisition, the Company may not have been able to fulfil its
objectives. Furthermore, the Company may not have been able to
acquire the target business (the Acquisition) at a suitable price
or at all. In addition, if the Acquisition, or any other subsequent
target acquisition, has been aborted the Company may have been left
with substantial transaction costs which may have severely impacted
the Company's ability to complete any further acquisition
opportunity. The Directors reviewed abort costs against the
Company's available funds as a going concern and took appropriate
action to ensure the Company had sufficient funding.
* Acquiring Less than Controlling Interests
The Company may acquire either
less than whole voting control of, or less than a controlling
equity interest in, a target, which may limit the Company's
operational strategies and reduce its ability to enhance
Shareholder value. The Directors shall consider the viability of
such an outcome against their mandate and if appropriate may not
complete a transaction.
* Inability to Fund Operations Post-Acquisition
The Company may have been unable to fund the operations
post-acquisition of the target business if
it had not obtained additional funding, and the Company endeavoured
to ensure that appropriate funding measures were taken to meet the
minimum commitments on completion of the Acquisition. The Directors
considered the potential post-acquisition funding requirement at
the time of an acquisition and communicated such requirement to the
parties proposing to fund the acquisition.
* The
Company's Relationship with the Directors and Conflicts of
Interest
The Company was dependent on the
Directors and their external advisors to identify potential
acquisition opportunities and to execute an acquisition.
The Directors were not obliged to
commit their whole time to the Company's business; they allocated a
portion of their time to other businesses which could have led to
the potential for conflicts of interest in their determination as
to how much time to assign to the Company's affairs. The Directors
were obliged to disclose any conflict of interest and the Board of
Directors would have taken appropriate action to resolve any
conflict.
* Risks
Inherent in an Acquisition
Although the Company and the
Directors evaluated the risks inherent in any particular target,
they could not offer any further assurance that all the significant
risk factors would have been identified or properly assessed.
Furthermore, no assurance could have been made that an investment
in Ordinary Shares in the Company would ultimately have proved to
be more favourable to investors than a direct investment, if such
an opportunity had been available to the Company's investors, in
its target business. The Directors would have ensured appropriate
disclosure to all potential investors in any investment
memorandum.
* Reliance on External
Advisors
The Directors relied on external
advisors to help identify and assess potential acquisitions and
there was a risk that suitable advisors could not be placed under
contract or that such advisors that were contracted fail to perform
as required. The Directors had taken all reasonable steps to
procure and received appropriate advice prior to proceeding with
the Acquisition.
* Failure
to Obtain Additional Financing to Complete an Acquisition
There was no guarantee that the
Company would be able to obtain any additional financing needed to
complete an acquisition, and if available, to obtain such financing
on terms attractive to the Company. Had there been such event, the
Company may have been compelled to restructure or abandon the
Acquisition or proceed with the Acquisition on less favourable
terms, which may have reduced the Company's potential return on the
investment. Failure to secure additional financing on acceptable
terms could have had a material adverse effect on the continued
development or growth of the Company and the acquired business. The
Directors considered these risks and made appropriate disclosure to
potential investors in any investment memorandum. The Company
managed and continues to manage its liquidity risk on the basis set
out in note 12.
* Reliance on Income from the Acquired Activities
Following an acquisition, the
Company may have been dependent on the
income generated by the acquired business or from the subsequent
divestment of the acquired business to meet the Company's expenses.
If the acquired business was unable to provide the sufficient funds
to the Company, the Company may have been unable to pay its
expenses or make distributions and dividends on the Ordinary
Shares. The Directors considered the income and cash flow forecasts
of acquisition targets and made appropriate adjustment and
disclosure to potential investors in any investment
memorandum.
* Restrictions in Offering Ordinary Shares as Consideration for
an Acquisition or Requirements to Provide Alternative Consideration.
In certain jurisdictions, there
may have been legal, regulatory or practical restrictions on the
Company using its Ordinary Shares as consideration for an
acquisition or which may have meant that the Company was required
to provide alternative forms of consideration. Such restrictions
may have limited the Company's acquisition opportunities or made a
certain acquisition more costly, which may have had an adverse
effect on the potential results of operations of the Company. The
Directors considered the fundamental nature of these risks on the
potential viability of acquisition targets and made appropriate
disclosure to potential investors in any investment
memorandum.
Principal risks and uncertainties
faced by the Company from the date of Acquisition
The principal risks and
uncertainties now faced by the Company will include but are not
limited to:
* Risks
of operating a developing commercial business
These risks include but are not
limited to competition, market penetration, regulatory environment,
technical development including retention, attraction, skills and
knowledge of personnel, and security of intellectual
property.
* Risks
of sufficient funding to pursue and deliver the Company's strategic
plan.
These include reliance on cash
generation from operations, availability of credit and debt finance
in the ordinary course of business, and access to equity funding
from the issue and admission of new shares on the AIM
Market.
* * Risks
of retaining and attracting Key Management and Technical
Personnel.
These include the Company's
ability to offer competitive terms of employment including industry
standard levels of pay and benefits, access to talent, and ongoing
training and development programs to support the strategic
development of business and organization.
* * Risks
of Effective Leadership on Company's strategic plan.
These risks include retention,
attraction and performance of executive and senior management,
including effectiveness of the Company's Board of Directors and its
Committees.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
The Directors believe they have
acted in the way they considered in good faith, that would be most
likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its
members as a whole, as required by s172 of the Companies Act 2006,
and in doing so have had regard to:
- The
likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
- The
need to act fairly between the members of the Company;
- The
desirability of maintaining the Company's reputation for high
standards of business conduct;
- The
need to foster the Company's relationships with advisor's
suppliers, and others; and
- The
impact of the Company's operations on the community and the
environment.
The Board recognises that their
primary role is the representation and promotion of shareholders'
interests. The Board makes every effort to understand the interests
and expectations of the shareholders and other stakeholders, and to
reflect these in the choices it makes in its effort to create
long-term sustainable value. Governed by the Companies Act 2006,
the Company has adopted the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate
Governance Code 2018 (the "QCA Code"). The Board recognises the
importance of maintaining a good level of corporate governance
which, together with the requirements of a main market listing,
ensures that the interests of the Company's stakeholders are
safeguarded.
As a Company, the Board seriously
considers its ethical responsibilities to the communities and
environment.
In order to fulfil their duties
under section 172 and promote the success of the Company for the
benefit of all its stakeholders, the directors need to ensure that
they not only act in accordance with the legal duties but also
engage with, and have regard for, all its stakeholders when taking
decisions. The Company has a number of key stakeholders that it is
committed to maintaining a strong relationship with. Understanding
the Company's stakeholders and how they and their interests will
impact on the strategy and success of the Company over the long
term is a key factor in the decisions that the Board
make.
Shareholders
The promotion of the success of
the Company is ultimately for the benefit of the Company's
shareholders who provide the Company's permanent capital. As a
company originally on the Standard List and readmitted to the AIM
Market of the London Stock Exchange, the Company is responsible for
ensuring that it is aware of shareholder needs and expectations.
The Directors attach great importance to maintaining good
relationships with all of its shareholders and interested parties
and seeks to ensure that they have access to correct and adequate
information in a timely fashion. The Directors are aware that as
stakeholders, its shareholders play a vital role in the fabric of
the Company and therefore will regularly engage in dialogue with
the Company's shareholders and be available for meetings with
institutional and major shareholders following the release of the
Company's Annual and Interim Results. The Directors welcome all
shareholders to make contact with the Company and provide any
feedback or comments that they may have, and contact details are
available on the Company's website. The Company's Annual General
Meeting is also an important opportunity for shareholders to meet
and engage with Directors and ask questions on the Company and its
performance.
Regulatory Bodies
The Company was listed on the
Standard Segment of the Main Market and is now listed on the AIM
market of the London Stock Exchange. It therefore actively engages
with the various regulatory bodies and advisory firms to ensure
that compliance standards are maintained and that the Company
continues to act with the high standards of business conduct that
have established its reputation thus far.
Suppliers and Advisors
The Company's suppliers and
advisors are integral to the day to day operation of the Company.
Relationships with suppliers and advisors are carefully managed to
ensure that the Company is always obtaining value for money. The
Company seeks to ensure that good relationships are maintained with
its supplier.
Other stakeholders and the wider
community
The Directors are committed to
ensuring that none of its activities have a detrimental impact on
the wider community and the environment.
STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

GOING CONCERN
After careful consideration
following completion of the Acquisition and of the post-completion
business projections and associated cash flow forecast, the
Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. Further details are given in note 2 to the
financial statements. For this reason, the Directors continue to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial
statements.
INTERNAL FINANCIAL
CONTROL
Financial controls have been
established so as to provide safeguards against unauthorised use or
disposition of the assets, to maintain proper accounting records
and to provide reliable financial information for internal use. Key
financial controls include:
* the maintenance of proper records;
* a schedule of matters reserved for the approval of the
Board;
* evaluation, approval procedures and risk assessment for
acquisitions; and
* close involvement of the Directors in the day-to-day
operational matters of the Company.
Shareholder Communications
The Company uses its corporate
website (http://www.pri0r1ty.com) to ensure that the latest
announcements, press releases and published financial information
are available to all shareholders and other interested
parties.
The AGM is used to communicate
with both institutional shareholders and private investors and all
shareholders are encouraged to participate.
The Directors welcome all
shareholders to make contact with the Company and provide any
feedback or comments that they may have, and contact details are
available on the Company's website. The Company's Annual General
Meeting is also an important opportunity for shareholders to meet
and engage with Directors and ask questions on the Company and its
performance.
Directors Remuneration Report
On completion of the Acquisition,
a Remuneration Committee has been appointed to assess an
appropriate level of Directors' remuneration and it is envisaged
that an appropriate remuneration policy will be implemented so as
to attract, retain and motivate Executive Directors and senior
management of a high calibre with a view to encouraging commitment
to the development of the Company and for long term enhancement of
shareholder value. The Board believes that share ownership by
Executive Directors strengthens the link between their personal
interests and aligns with those of shareholders although there is
no formal shareholding policy in place.

The remuneration disclosed above
is the charge for the current period in respect of the fair value
of share warrants issued to the directors: no other remuneration
was paid or due.
The Company does not contribute to
any pension scheme or provide any other benefit in kind for the
directors.
Service contracts
There were no Directors' service
contracts in place at 30 September 2024. The Company did not have a
Chief Executive "CEO" at that date and as such, no CEO disclosure
has been presented. Service agreements for executive Directors
appointed 30 December 2024 have been executed.
STATEMENT OF CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
As a company whose shares were
listed on the Standard Segment of the Main Market and are now
listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, the Company
is not required to comply with the provisions of the UK Corporate
Governance Code. However, the Directors are committed to
maintaining high standards of corporate governance and propose, so
far as is practicable given the Company's size and nature, to
voluntarily adopt and comply with the QCA Code. At present, due to
the size of the Company, the Directors acknowledge that adherence
to certain provisions of the QCA Code will be delayed until such
time as the Directors are able to fully adopt them following
completion of the Acquisition.
As stated by the QCA Code, good
corporate governance is about "having the right people (in the
right roles), working together, and doing the right things to
deliver value for shareholders as a whole over the medium to
long-term". This is achieved through a series of decisions made by
the Board, which needs to be kept dynamic, diverse and engender a
consistent corporate culture throughout the Company.
To see how the Company addresses
the key governance principles defined in the QCA Code, please refer
to the Corporate Governance section of our website at the following
link: https://www.pri0r1ty.com/investors/governance
Board of Directors
The Board now consists of two
executive and three non-executive Directors; prior to Acquisition
two, and to July 2024 three, non-executive directors. The Board met
regularly throughout the period to discuss key issues and to
monitor the overall performance of the Company. With a Board
comprising of just two or three non-executive Directors, all
matters and committees, such as Remuneration, Audit and Nominations
were considered by the Board as a whole. The Directors have now
expanded the Board membership and balance to provide additional and appropriate levels of corporate governance
procedures.
The Board seeks to present a
balanced and understandable assessment of the Company's position
and prospects in all interim, final and price-sensitive reports and
information required to be presented by statute. The Directors
consider the size of the Company and the close involvement of its
Directors in the day-to-day operations during the period to 30
September 2024 made the maintenance of both an Audit Committee and
an internal audit function unnecessary. An Audit Committee was
formed on completion of the Acquisition.
External auditor
The Board will meet with the
auditor at least twice a year to consider the results, internal
procedures and controls and matters raised by the auditor. The
Board considers auditor independence and objectivity and the
effectiveness of the audit process. It also considers the nature
and extent of the non-audit services supplied by the auditor
reviewing the ratio of audit to non-audit fees and ensures that an
appropriate relationship is maintained between the Company and its
external auditor.
The Company has a policy of
controlling the provision of non-audit services by the external
auditor in order that their objectivity and independence are
safeguarded. As part of the decision to recommend the appointment
of the external auditor, the Board takes into account the tenure of
the auditor in addition to the results of its review of the
effectiveness of the external auditor and considers whether there
should be a full tender process. There are no contractual
obligations restricting the Board's choice of external
auditor.
Nominations committee
A nominations committee
is not considered necessary and has not
yet been proposed.
Remuneration Committee
There was no separate Remuneration
Committee in the period to 30 September 2024; instead, all
remuneration matters were considered by the Board as a whole.
A Remuneration Committee was established on
completion of the Acquisition. It will meet when required to
consider all aspects of the directorship's remuneration, share
options, share warrants and service contracts.
From the outset the Board has set
out and implemented a policy designed in its view to attract,
retain and motivate executive Directors of the right calibre and
ability. There were no major changes during the period either in
that policy or its implementation, including levels of remuneration
and terms of service for the Directors.
GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG)
EMISSIONS
The Company is aware that it needs
to measure its operational carbon footprint in order to limit and
control its environmental impact. However, since the Company, due
to its limited activities and lack of office or operations in the
period under review, did not consume more than 40,000kWh of energy,
the Company's emissions are not disclosed for this
reason.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS'
RESPONSIBILITIES
Statement of Directors'
Responsibilities in respect of the Annual Report and the financial
statements.
The Directors are responsible for
preparing this report and the financial statements in accordance
with applicable United Kingdom law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors
to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that
law, the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements
in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.
Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or
loss for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the
Directors are required to:
* select suitable accounting policies and then apply them
consistently;
* make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent;
* present information, including accounting policies, in a
manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and
understandable information;
* state whether they have been prepared in accordance with
UK-adopted international accounting standards, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements; and
* prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will
continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for
keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and
explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and
enable them to ensure that the Company financial statements comply
with the Companies Act 2006 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention
and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and
regulations, the directors are also responsible for preparing a
Strategic Report, Directors' Report, Directors' Remuneration Report
and Corporate Governance Statement that comply with that law and
those regulations, and for ensuring that the Annual report includes
information required by the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct
Authority.
The financial statements are
published on the Company's website (http://www.pri0r1ty.com).The
work carried out by the Auditor does not involve consideration of
the maintenance and integrity of this website and accordingly, the
Auditor accepts no responsibility for any changes that have
occurred to the financial statements since they were initially
presented on the website. Visitors to the website need to be aware
that legislation in the United Kingdom covering the preparation and
dissemination of the financial statements may differ from
legislation in their jurisdiction
The Directors confirm that to the
best of their knowledge:
* the Company financial statements, prepared in accordance with
UK-adopted international accounting standards, give a true and fair
view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and loss of the
Company;
* this Annual Report includes the fair review of the
development and performance of the business and the position of the
Company together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that it faces; and
* the Annual Report and financial statements, taken as a whole,
are fair, balanced and understandable and provide information
necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's performance,
business and strategy.
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF
INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware,
there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418
of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Company's auditor is
unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to
have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any
relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's
auditor is aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, PKF Littlejohn LLP,
will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual
General Meeting.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:
........................................................................
M P Beardmore - Director Date:
31st January 2025
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS
TO THE MEMBERS OF PRI0R1TY INTELLIGENCE GROUP PLC (FORMERLY
ALTERATION EARTH PLC)
Opinion
We have audited the financial
statements of Pri0r1tY Intelligence Group Plc (formerly Alteration
Earth Plc) (the 'company') for the year ended 30 September 2024
which comprise the Income Statement, the Statement of Comprehensive
Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of
Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the
financial statements, including significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparation is applicable law and UK-adopted international
accounting standards.
In our opinion, the financial
statements:
· give
a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30
September 2024 and of its loss for the year then ended;
· have
been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international
accounting standards; and
· have
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies
Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs
(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities
for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We
are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as
applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial
statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going
concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial
statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors'
assessment of the company's ability to continue to adopt the going
concern basis of accounting included:
· Reviewing the cash flow forecasts prepared by management for
the period up to 31 August 2026 for reasonableness by agreeing the
forecasts to corroborating evidence and challenging management in
relation to the key inputs and assumptions used in the
forecasts;
· Reviewing the stress test scenarios prepared by management
and assessing for reasonableness;
· Comparing actual results for the period to historical
forecasts to assess management's ability to produce accurate and
reliable forecasts;
· Comparing forecast results to actual results to November
2024;
· Reviewing post year end Regulatory News Service (RNS)
announcements and board minutes; and
· Assessing the adequacy of going concern disclosures within
the annual report and financial statements.
Based on the work we have
performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties
relating to events or conditions that, individually or
collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability
to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve
months from when the financial statements are authorised for
issue.
Our responsibilities and the
responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are
described in the relevant sections of this report.
Our application of materiality
The scope of our audit was
influenced by our application of materiality. The quantitative and
qualitative thresholds for materiality determine the scope of our
audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit
procedures.
Materiality for the financial
statements as a whole
|
£13,000 (2023:
£20,000).
|
Basis of materiality
|
2.5% of net assets (2023: 2.5% of
net assets).
|
Rationale for the
benchmark
|
We consider net assets to be the
most relevant performance indicator for a special-purpose
acquisition company that has no trade and a low volume of
transactions during the year.
|
Rationale for the percentage
applied
|
The percentage applied to the
benchmark has been selected to bring into scope all significant
classes of transactions, account balances and disclosures relevant
for the shareholders, and also to ensure that matters that would
have a significant impact on the results were appropriately
considered.
|
Performance materiality determined
at 70% of the overall materiality
|
£9,100 (2023: £12,000).
In determining performance
materiality, we considered:
· the financial
reporting closing process and the prior year audit
misstatements;
· our
cumulative knowledge of the group and its environment;
and
· the
stability in key management personnel.
|
We use performance materiality to
reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the
aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds
overall materiality. Specifically, we use performance materiality
in determining the scope of our audit and the nature and extent of
our testing of account balances, classes of transactions, and
disclosures, for example in determining sample sizes.
We agreed with the Board of
Directors that we would report all audit differences identified
during the course of our audit in excess of £650 (2023: £1,000) as
well as differences below that threshold that, in our view,
warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.
Our approach to the audit
In designing our audit, we
determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we looked
at where the directors made subjective judgments, for example in
respect of going concern assessment and the recognition of the
costs related to the proposed acquisition, which involved making
assumptions and considering future events relating to forecasted
revenue that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we
also addressed the risk of management override of internal
controls, including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias
by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement
due to fraud.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those
matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements of the
current period and include the most significant assessed risks of
material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified,
including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit
strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing
the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter
described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern
section we have determined the matters described below to be the
key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter
|
How our scope addressed this matter
|
Accounting for the costs related to the proposed acquisition.
(Notes 4 and 16)
|
|
The Company have entered
non-binding heads of terms to acquire a company. At year-end the
Company have not acquired the company and expect the acquisition to
be completed post year end, however the Company have started
incurring associated costs in FY 2024.
Therefore, there is a risk that
the costs relating to the proposed acquisition have not been
accounted for correctly. This impacts cut-off, prepayments,
accruals and whether any contingent liabilities need to be
recognised.
|
Our work in this area included, but was not limited
to:
· Obtaining a
list of transaction related costs, agreeing to supporting evidence
and ensuring each cost related to the transaction.
· Obtaining
an understanding of management's basis for cut-off and ensuring the
costs have been recognised appropriately, based on the work
completed and services provided by the counterparties engaged to
provide services.
· Reviewing
accruals and prepayments at year-end relating to the transaction
costs and assessing whether these have been appropriately accounted
for.
· Reviewing the terms of the amount payable on completion and
making enquiries with management to ascertain how it should be
disclosed in the accounts.
· Reviewing post year-end position of the acquisition related
costs until sign off date to ensure completeness of transaction
costs.
Key observations
Based on our procedures performed,
we noted that transaction related costs were incorrectly recognised
as prepayments. Adjustments were agreed and booked within the
financial statements to correct the accounting
treatment.
|
Other information
The other information comprises
the information included in the annual report, other than the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The
directors are responsible for the other information contained
within the annual report7. Our opinion on the financial
statements does not cover the other information and, except to the
extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to
read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such
material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are
required to determine whether this gives rise to a material
misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on
the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact.
We have nothing to report in this
regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act
2006
In our opinion the part of the
directors' remuneration report to be audited has been properly
prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion, based on the work
undertaken in the course of the audit:
· the
information given in the strategic report and the directors' report
for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements;
and
· the
strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by
exception
In the light of the knowledge and
understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the
course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements
in the strategic report or the directors' report.
We have nothing to report in
respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies
Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our
opinion:
· adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns
adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not
visited by us; or
· the
financial statements and the part of the directors' remuneration
report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting
records and returns; or
· certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by
law are not made; or
· we
have not received all the information and explanations we require
for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the
report of the directors, the directors are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied
that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial
statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the
company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to
liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud,
are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We
design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined
above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures
are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below:
· We
obtained an understanding of the company and the sector in which it
operates to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be
expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We
obtained our understanding in this regard through application of
cumulative audit knowledge and experience of the sector,
discussions with management and industry research.
· We
determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the
company in this regard to be those arising from the Companies Act
2006 and the London Stock Exchange listing rules.
· We
designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered
whether there were any indications of non-compliance by the company
with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but
were not limited to:
o Enquiries of
management;
o Review of
minutes of board meetings;
o Review of
Regulatory News Service (RNSs) announcements; and
o Review of legal
and professional fees to understand the nature of the costs and the
existence of any non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
· As
in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from
management override of controls by performing audit procedures
which included but were not limited to: the testing of journals;
reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating
the business rationale of any significant transactions that are
unusual or outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent
limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect
all irregularities, including those leading to a material
misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with
a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to
become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also
greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than
error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery,
collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is
located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:
www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matters which we are required to
address
We were appointed by the Board of
Directors on 6 July 2022 to audit the financial statements for the
period ending 30 September 2022 and subsequent financial periods.
Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is three years,
covering the periods ending 30 September 2022 to 30 September
2024.
The non-audit services prohibited
by the FRC's Ethical Standard were not provided to the company and
we remain independent of the company in conducting our
audit.
Our audit opinion is consistent
with the additional report to the Board.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the
company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part
16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those
matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and
for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone, other than the
company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work,
for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER
2024
1.
STATUTORY INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated as
Alteration Earth Plc on 18 August 2021 in England and Wales, with
registered number 13571750 under Companies Act 2006. Following the
Acquisition (note 16) on 30 December 2024, on 24 December 2024 the
name of the Company was changed by resolution to Pri0r1ty
Intelligence Group Plc. The registered office of the Company was
changed on 30 December 2024 to 28 Austin Friars, London, EC2N 2QQ.
The Company is a public limited company; it was admitted to the
Standard Listing Segment of the London Stock Exchange on 1 July
2022 and, delisted on 20 December 2024 and was re-admitted to
trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange on 30
December 2024. The principal activity of the Company following the
Acquisition is the provision of Artificial Intelligence ("AI")
products and services.

ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international
accounting standards and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006
applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. 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 had no revenue during
the year but had adequate cash resources to finance activities to
completion of the Acquisition (note 16). Prior to the Acquisition,
the Directors convened a Board meeting on 24 November 2024 to
consider the Acquisition and carefully reviewed the associated
business assumptions together with the pre- and post-completion
cash flow forecasts of the Company and the subsequently acquired
business of PAI. The Directors considered that post-Acquisition the
Company, as the enlarged group, would have sufficient funds
available and to reasonably expect to become available, to continue
in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of
approval of the accounts. Since the date of the Acquisition, the
forecast funding from the placing of new shares was successfully
completed, and there has been no material deviation from the
business plan and forecast for the enlarged group.
Accordingly, the Board believes it appropriate to adopt the
going concern basis in the approval of the financial
statements.
Accounting Standards
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 October 2023 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.

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 contingent liability 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.
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.
Financial instruments
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Earnings per share
Basic loss per share is calculated
as the 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 was the only activity in which the Company was
involved and 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. In future reporting periods the
Company will reflect any post-acquisition operational segmental
changes.

The Company's unutilised tax
losses carried forward at 30 September 2024 amounted to £569,774
(2023:
£386,543). A deferred tax asset
has not been recognised due to uncertainty over the timing of the
utilisation of the losses.
Effective corporate tax
rate
The standard rate of corporation
tax in the UK from 1 April 2023 is 25%, prior to which the rate was
19%. Accordingly, the Company's effective rate of corporation tax
for the period was 25% (2023: 22%).

EARNINGS PER
SHARE
Basic earnings per share is
calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary
shareholders 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

FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's financial
instruments comprise primarily of bank balances. The main purpose
of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for
the Company's operations. The Company does not utilise complex
financial instruments or hedging mechanisms. The Company was not
trading nor carrying out any business activities during the
reporting year and prior period and therefore has not disclosed in
this note below all of the disclosure items set out in IFRS7 as
they are not considered material and relevant to its current
status.

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.
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. 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.
13.
CAPITAL
COMMITMENTS
There were no capital commitments
at either 30 September 2024 or 2023.
14.
CONTINGENT
LIABILITY
During the reporting year the
Company entered into an agreement with GEL wherein a fee of £72,000
would become payable in the event the Company successfully
completed an acquisition. At the reporting date of 30 September
2024 there was in the opinion of the directors no probability of an
acquisition and therefore no provision made in the financial
statements for contingent liability at 30 September 2024. After the
reporting date, the Company identified and entered into acquisition
negotiations and on 30 December 2024 the Company completed the
Acquisition (note 16) and the amount has become payable.

1. General
Information
The Company was incorporated on 27
October 2023 in England and Wales with Registered Number 15241564
under the Companies Act 2006. The principal activity of the Company
is the development of software harnessing AI
capabilities.
The address of its registered office
is 28 Austin Friars, London, England, EC2N 2QQ.
The Directors of the Company are
responsible for the unaudited financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IAS 8 requires that management
shall use its judgement in developing and applying accounting
policies that result in information which is relevant to the
economic decision-making needs of users, that are reliable, free
from bias, prudent, complete and represent faithfully the financial
position, financial performance and cash flows of the
entity.
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited financial statements
of Prior1ty AI ltd for the period ended 30 September 2024 has been
prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting
Standards ('IFRS'). Unaudited financial statements presents the
results for the Group for the period from 27 October 2023 to 30
September 2024.
There was no comparative
period.
The unaudited financial statements
has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The unaudited financial statements
have been prepared using UK adopted International accounting
standards. The unaudited financial statements has been prepared
using the measurement bases specified by IFRS for each type of
asset, liability, income and expense.
The unaudited financial statements
is presented in £ unless otherwise stated, which is the Company's
functional and presentational currency.
2.2 BASIS OF
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated unaudited
financial information incorporates the financial information of the
Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries)
made up to 30 September each year. Per IFRS 10, control is achieved
when the Company:
· has
the power over the investee;
· is
exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the investee; and
· has
the ability to use its power to affects its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or
not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate
that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of
control listed above. When the Company has less than a
majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it
has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient
to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities
of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant
facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's
voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power,
including:
·
the size of the Company's holding of voting
rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other
vote holders;
·
potential voting rights held by the Company,
other vote holders or other parties;
·
rights arising from other contractual
arrangements; and
·
any additional facts and circumstances that
indicate that the Company has, or does not have,
the current ability to direct the relevant
activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including
voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary
begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and
ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary.
Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of
during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the
Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to
control the subsidiary. Where necessary, adjustments are made
to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting
policies used into line with the Group's accounting
policies.
All intragroup assets and
liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to
transactions between the members of the Group are eliminated on
consolidation.
The Group recognises any
non-controlling interest in the acquired entity at the
non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired
entity's net identifiable assets. Subsequent to acquisition,
the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of
those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling
interests' share of subsequent changes in equity.
Profit or loss and each component
of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the
Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive
income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the
Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results
in the non-controlling interests having a deficit
balance.
As at 30 September 2024, the
Company owned interests in the following subsidiary undertakings,

The Company has adopted all of the
new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the
International
Accounting Standards Board that are
relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods
commencing on or after 1st January 2023.
2.4 NEW STANDARDS
AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
The Group has adopted the below
standards, amendments or interpretations for the first time for its
unaudited financial statements commencing 27 October 2023 which do

2.5 GOING
CONCERN
The unaudited financial statements
has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the
consolidated group will have access to sufficient liquid resources
to enable them to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future and not less than twelve months from the date of
signing this report.
Taking these matters into
consideration, the Directors consider that the continued adoption
of the going concern basis is appropriate having reviewed the
forecasts for the coming 18 months and the unaudited financial
statements does not reflect any adjustments that would be required
if they were to be prepared other than on a going concern
basis.
2.6 SEGMENT
REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in
a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision
makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the
executive Board of Directors.
All operations and information are
reviewed together so that at present there is only one reportable
operating segment.
2.7 FOREIGN CURRENCY
TRANSLATION
Functional and presentation
currency
Foreign
currency transactions are translated into the functional currency
using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in
other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and
qualifying net investment hedges. Foreign exchange gains and losses
that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are
presented in the income statement within 'finance income or costs'.
All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the
income statement within 'Other (losses)/gains - net'.
Translation differences on
non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held
at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or
loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation
differences on non-monetary financial assets measure at fair value,
such as equities classified as available for sale, are included in
other comprehensive income.
Transactions and
balances
Transactions denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into the presentational currency at
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Assets and
liabilities in foreign currencies are translated to the
presentational currency at rates of exchange ruling at statement of
financial position date. Gains or losses arising from settlement of
transactions and from translation at period-end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the
period.
2.8 IMPAIRMENT OF
NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Non-financial assets and
intangible assets not subject to amortisation are tested annually
for impairment at each reporting date and whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not
be recoverable.
An impairment review is based on
discounted future cash flows. If the expected discounted future
cash flow from the use of the assets and their eventual disposal is
less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss and not subsequently
reversed.
For the purposes of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are largely independent cash flows (cash generating units or
'CGUs').
2.9 CASH AND CASH
EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents comprise
cash at bank and in hand, with banks and other financial
institutions.
2.10 TRADE AND OTHER
RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are initially
recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for
expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for
settlement within 90 days. The Company has applied the simplified
approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses,
trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other
receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance
for expected credit losses.
2.11 TRADE AND OTHER
PAYABLES
Trade and other payables are
obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in
the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accruals and
accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment
is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as
non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognised
initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
IFRS 9 requires an entity to
address the classification, measurement and recognition of
financial assets and liabilities.
a) Classification
The Group classifies its financial
assets in the following measurement categories:
·
those to be measured at amortised
cost.
The classification depends on the
Group's business model for managing the financial assets
and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
The Group classifies financial
assets as at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria
are met:
· the
asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect
contractual cash flows; and
· the
contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payment
of principal and interest.
b) Recognition
Purchases and sales of financial
assets are recognised on trade date (that is, the date on
which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset). Financial
assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows
from the financial assets have expired or have been
transferred and the Group has transferred substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership.
c) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group
measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a
financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL),
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition
of the financial asset.
Transaction costs of financial
assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or
loss.
Debt instruments
Amortised cost: Assets that are
held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash
flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are
measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these
financial assets is included in finance income using the
effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and
presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange
gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate
line item in the statement of profit or loss.
d) Impairment
The Group assesses, on a
forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with
any debt instruments carried at amortised cost.
The impairment methodology applied depends on
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach
permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
2.13 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.
Retained losses includes all
current and prior period results as disclosed in the income
statement.
2.14 EARNINGS PER
SHARE
Basic earnings per share is
calculated as profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the
parent for the period, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing
equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
element.
2.15 TAXATION
The taxation expense for the year
comprises current and deferred tax and is recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it
relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income, or
directly in equity, in which case the tax expense is also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity.
Current tax is the amount of
income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current
or past reporting periods. It is calculated on the basis of tax
rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax represents the future
tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the
consolidated financial statements of current and previous periods
and arises from 'temporary differences'. Deferred tax is recognised
in respect of all temporary differences, except that unrelieved tax
losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the
reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable
profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the
tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the statement of financial position date that are expected to
apply to the reversal of the temporary differences.
2.16 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. The following
is the critical judgement the Directors have made in the process of
applying the Group's accounting policies.
There are no critical accounting
judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty applicable to
these unaudited financial statements.

During this period, the Company
acquired an intangible asset from Sports Media Ventures Ltd. Refer
to note 21 for further details.
At 30 September 2024, the Group
performed its annual impairment test on its acquired IP &
Technology asset and identified no indicators of impairment in line
with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets." The asset is fully operational
and continues to provide significant strategic value to the Group.
At the test date, it was determined given the product is
pre-revenue, there was insufficient evidence to estimate a
value-in-use based on discounted future cash flows from the
asset.
The Group has determined that the
asset has an indefinite useful life for the followings
reasons:
· There are no legal, regulatory, or contractual factors that
would limit the period during which the software can be
used;
· The
software is regularly updated and maintained, ensuring its
relevance and effectiveness over the long term;
· The
Group intends to continue using the software and it is forecasted
to generate revenues for the Group indefinitely.
These factors support the
assessment that the software has an indefinite useful life, which
will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains
appropriate."
Accordingly, the Group has concluded
that the estimated recoverable amount of the asset exceeded the
carrying amount, and therefore, no impairment was
identified.
