Chairman's Statement
Introduction
Following the announcement in last year's interim results for
the six months ended 30 June 2021, that Kibo Energy ('Kibo' or 'the
Company') had begun the process of pivoting its business to the
acquisition and development of a portfolio of sustainable,
renewable energy assets to capitalise on the global clean energy
revolution, I am pleased to report that the Company's continued
commitment to its renewed strategy in this regard has yielded
positive results. As part of Kibo's refocused strategy centred
around renewable energy development, the Company has acquired a
waste gasification and power plant in the United Kingdom as part of
its UK WTE portfolio. We believe this opportunity supports our
strategic intent to significantly advance and accelerate the
development of the Company's renewable energy portfolio in the
UK.
In South Africa, we are excited to have signed our first WTE
Power Purchase Agreement ('PPA') to generate base-load electricity
over 10 years from a 2,7 MW plastic-to-syngas power plant, which
aligns with our clean energy strategy. The project initiates a
pipeline of projects under the Company's South African WTE
portfolio with our partners, Industrial Green Energy Solutions
(Pty) Ltd ('IGES'). During the PPA process, the Company also
performed a large amount of work to procure funding for the project
and has received a higher-than-expected level of interest for the
provision of project and debt funding at very competitive
commercial terms from various institutions.
The growing energy market in the Southern African Development
Community ('SADC') countries, particularly the energy-starved South
Africa, makes the case for energy storage more viable. Further to
the Company's strategy to implement long-duration energy storage
('LDES') solutions we are delighted to have signed a five-year
Framework Agreement ('FA') with Enerox GmbH ('CellCube') to develop
and deploy LDES solutions in the SADC countries (RNS dated 17 May
2022) . The development of a large project pipeline ready for
immediate execution is the main pivot on which the FA hinges.
These smaller-scale renewable energy projects are focused on the
UK and Southern Africa as the market opportunities, government
support and technical innovation in these countries is slowly
evolving and at the ideal stage to position Kibo as an influential
innovator in the sector. This is most evident in Kibo's large
knowledge base of and experience in the renewable energy sector,
developed in recent years through its renewable energy and LDES
solutions for integration with and repositioning of its current
large utility fossil fuel-based projects.
The past few months have seen considerable progress across
Kibo's renewable and sustainable energy strategy. Following the RNS
dated 16 June 2021, in which Kibo announced an extensive review of
operations and assets, the Company decided to dispose of all its
coal assets while retaining the associated energy (power) projects
through its introduction of innovative biofuel technology to its
arsenal of solutions. By undertaking an evidence-based process of
test and evaluation on the biofuel technology, we believe, subject
to confirmatory test work, replacement of conventionally mined coal
with a 100% renewable energy source is possible. Work completed to
date indicates that our existing coal-fired power plant designs can
be adapted, with minor design changes, to accept the new renewable
fuel solution. All current and future projects across the Kibo
Energy portfolio as well as its investment holdings have been
extensively reviewed and realigned with the Company's renewed
strategy to focus on renewable, sustainable energy solutions while
retaining maximum value for Kibo and its shareholders as well as
remaining attractive for acquisition, funding and construction by
potential purchasers.
As progress continues on Kibo's portfolio of projects, the
Company has further invested in its management team with the
appointment of Mr Cobus van der Merwe as Chief Financial Officer
('CFO') as of 1 June 2022 (RNS dated 20 May 2022). Van der Merwe
brings a wealth of experience to the team as a registered Chartered
Accountant (South Africa) and having previously held managerial and
executive roles in the investment management and energy, utilities
and resource sectors. Most notably, he held a senior management
position at PricewaterhouseCoopers, servicing clients across the
United Kingdom, Ireland and Africa, as well as the position of
Partner and Chair of the Investment Committee at PSG Wealth, where
he managed bespoke investment portfolios for high net-worth
individuals. The Company also confirmed the appointment of Mr
Pieter Krügel to Chief Executive Officer ('CEO') of Mast Energy
Developments ('MED') as of 1 June 2022. Krügel previously held the
position of Group CFO at Kibo Energy for four years.
I firmly believe that these new appointments, as well as the
focus on the Company's renewable, sustainable energy strategy, will
play an integral role in delivering the Company's growth strategy
while placing Kibo Energy in an advantageous position within the
alternative energy sectors in the UK and sub-Saharan Africa, where
the majority of the Company's investments are held.
Conclusion
As we move forward into the second half of 2022, despite the
ongoing war in Ukraine, rising inflation and increased interest
rates adding to uncertainty across industries, I am pleased to
report that economic activity remains high, and this has yielded
positive results for Kibo in terms of the development of its
ongoing and new projects in the first half of 2022. The Company
intends to further streamline its operations with a primary focus
on the acquisition and development of its alternative and
renewable, sustainable energy solution projects, many on which we
have already made considerable progress while staying committed to
the disposal and conversion of our large-scale fossil fuel-based
utility projects.
Kibo's knowledge, experience and developments in this area are
at an advanced stage in comparison to the sectors in the regions
the Company operates. Therefore, as technologies within the
alternative and renewable energy sectors evolve to include
small-scale bespoke alternative and renewable energy solutions,
Kibo will remain at the forefront in providing an attractive
opportunity for potential investors.

The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial results
include extracts from the consolidated annual financial statements
for the period ended 31 December 2021.
These extracts do not constitute statutory accounts in
accordance with the Irish Companies Acts 2014. All monetary
information is presented in the presentation currency of the

3. Use of estimates and judgements
Preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, significant judgements made by management in applying
the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation
uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December
2021.

6. Segment analysis
IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive
information about its reportable segments, which are operating
segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specific
criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision-maker.
The Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision
maker of the Group.
Management currently identifies individual projects as operating
segments. These operating segments are monitored, and strategic
decisions are made based upon their individual nature, together
with other non-financial data collated from project and exploration
activities. Principal activities for these operating segments are
as follows:

Intangible assets are not amortised, due to the indefinite
useful life, which is attached to the underlying prospecting
rights, until such time that active mining operations commence,
which will result in the intangible asset being amortised over the
useful life of the relevant mining licences.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are assessed
for impairment on an annual basis, against the prospective fair
value of the intangible asset. The valuation of intangible assets
with an indefinite useful life is reassessed on an annual basis
through valuation techniques applicable to the nature of the
intangible assets.
As at reporting period end, taking into account the various
applicable aspects, the Group concluded that none of the impairment
indicators had been met in relation to the Mbeya Coal to Power
Project, Bordersley Power Project, Rochdale Power or Sustineri
Energy.

MAST Energy Projects Limited - 2020
During the 30 June 2021 period, the Group acquired a 60% equity
interest in MAST Energy Project Limited, previously known as MAST
Energy Development Limited, for GBP300,000, settled through the
issue of 5,714,286 ordinary shares in Kibo Energy plc effective on
19 October 2018. The acquisition of MAST Energy Projects Limited
falls within the ambit of IFRS 3: Business Combinations.
The net assets acquired were valued at Nil, with the resultant
purchase price being allocated to Goodwill on date of acquisition.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, against the
recoverable amount of underlying Cash Generating Unit ("CGU"). The
recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of its fair value less
cost to sell and its value in use.
Because the underlying projects previously held by Mast Energy
Projects Limited have now been restructured into separate SPV's,
controlled directly by the intermediary holding company Sloane
Developments Limited, there was no prospective benefit from
continued operations of Mast Energy Projects Limited therefore the
goodwill was impaired. The Company will cease operations in the
foreseeable future.

The borrowings relate to the following loan facilities:
Institutional Investor
The Institutional Investor borrowing is a bridge loan facility
agreement for up to GBP3m with a term of up to 36 months. Funds
advanced under the Facility will attract a fixed coupon interest
rate of 3.5% and will be repayable with accrued interest on 23 July
2022.
Sanderson Capital Partners Limited
Short term loans relate to the unsecured interest free loan
facility from Sanderson Capital Partners Limited in the amount of
GBPNIL (31 December: GBP119,005, 31 December: GBP144,004) which is
was repaid through the issue of ordinary shares by the Company.
Deferred vendor liability - Apex Capital
The amount due to vendors represents the balance of the purchase
consideration owing in respect of the acquisition of Pyebridge
Power Limited. The liability will be settled in cash as
follows:
-- GBP500,000 payable within 8 months after the signing of the
SPA represents: and
-- GBP500,000 payable within 12 months after the signing of the
SPA represents.
The fair value of the deferred vendor liability is based on the
anticipated purchase consideration payable, at the fair value
thereof on the date of the transaction. The carrying value of
current other financial liability equals their fair value due
mainly to the short-term nature of these payables.
St Anderton on Vaal Limited
The amount due to St Anderton on Vaal Limited represented the
balance of amounts owed by MAST Energy Projects Limited for
consulting services rendered. The amount due as at 30 June 2021 of
GBP355,397 was written off by St Anderton on Vaal Limited during
the previous financial period and resulted in other income of
GBP355,397 during the financial period 1 July 2021 to 31 December
2021.
13. Right of use asset and Lease liability
The Group has one lease contract for land it shall utilise to construction
a 5MW gas-fuelled power generation plant. The land is located at Bordesley,
Liverpool Street, Birmingham. The lease of the land has a lease term
of 20 years, with an option to extend for 10 years which the Group has
opted to include due to the highly likely nature of extension as at
the time of the original assessment. The Group's obligations under its
leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. The Group's
incremental borrowing rate implicit to the lease is 8.44%. Refer to
note 7 for the right of use asset.

-- MAST appointed Mr. Pieter Krügel as a director with effect
from 1 June 2022 and announced on the Company's RNS on 13 July
2022. Mr. Krügel was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and announced on the Company's RNS of the 20 May 2022 with
effect from 1 June 2022 and this completes his appointment to the
board.
-- KIBO has successfully achieved its first major Framework
Agreement ('FA') target, by placing the first commitment, to
purchase the first two proof of concept ('POC') projects, as
announced in the Company's RNS dated 17 May 2022. These projects
relate to its signed strategic five-year FA with CellCube to deploy
long-duration energy storage in Southern Africa. The FA envisages
the deployment of c.1 Gigawatt of Long Duration Energy Storage in
Southern Africa over the next five years. Kibo placed the
commitment to purchase via its 51%-owned subsidiary National
Broadband Solutions ('NBS'), for two (2) CellCube FB 250 - 1000
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries as part of its initial stage of the
FA.
-- KIBO has extended to 20 years its conditional 10-year
take-or-pay Power Purchase Agreement ('PPA'), first announced in
the Company's RNS dated 14 February 2022. The PPA outlines the
construction, commissioning and operation of a 2.7 MW
plastic-to-syngas power plant to generate baseload electricity for
an industrial business park developer (the 'Client') in Gauteng,
South Africa (the 'Project'). The Project is the Company's first
under its joint venture, Sustineri Energy, in which Kibo Energy PLC
holds 65% and Industrial Green Energy Solutions Pty Ltd ('IGES')
holds the balance of 35%. The extended term period to 20 years will
improve the already compelling Project highlights, including:
-- Strong financials: An increase in the projected EBITDA from
c. ZAR 388 million to c. ZAR 953 million, of which an amount of c.
ZAR 619 million is attributable to the Company;
-- Improved Internal Rate of Return ('IRR'): An increased
projected IRR of 15-18%, up from 11-14%; and
-- Commencement of construction and commissioning: The
Construction Phase is scheduled to commence during Q1 2023 with
project commissioning 11 to 14 months thereafter.
-- MAST has issued 28,735,632 new MED Shares of GBP0.001 each
("the Settlement Shares") at a deemed issue price of GBP0.0348 per
share ("Settlement Share Price") to its majority shareholder, Kibo
Energy PLC ("Kibo") in partial settlement of GBP1m (the "Partial
Settlement") of the total remaining outstanding amount owing to
Kibo Mining Cyprus Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kibo, pursuant
to the shareholder loan account ("the Loan"), as disclosed in the
Company's IPO admission document and most recently its latest
audited annual report and accounts. Following the Partial
Settlement, the Loan's remaining outstanding amount owing to Kibo
is c. GBP1.27m. The Settlement Share Price is the 5-day VWAP for
the period up to the closing price of the Company shares on the
London Stock Exchange on 26 July 2022, plus a 20% premium and has
effectively increase Kibo's shareholding in MED to 61.27%. This was
announced on the Company's RNS on 29 July 2022.
-- KIBO has initiated a process for Requests for Proposals
('RFPs') to investigate the feasibility of replacing fossil-fuel
(coal) with renewable biofuel, as mentioned in the Company's RNS
dated 27 May 2022. This follows an extensive review of the
Company's operations and assets wherein it determined to dispose of
all its coal assets (RNS dated 16 June 2021) while retaining the
associated energy (power) projects through its introduction of
innovative biofuel technology, on which the Company has been doing
extensive work in recent months. Through the RFP process, Kibo
intends to appoint an experienced international biomass and biofuel
consultant to determine the economic and technical viability of
utilising the specific biomass (or bio-coal) technology, referred
to above and in previous RNS's, as a feasible fuel source at
industrial scale, to fuel the Company's existing and already
developed utility scale power projects. The feasibility studies
will investigate whether sufficient biomass can be sustainably
(NOTE: sustainable = economically, environmentally and socially
viable) produced and supplied as fuel for a 300 MW power plant over
a 20 to 25-year power purchase agreement ('PPA') period. The
biofuel technology, which will be the subject of the above referred
investigation, has already been subjected to extensive bench
testing and has thus far delivered positive results in all tests
performed.
-- Kibo has signed a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the
'SPA') to acquire a 100% interest in a waste reception, Anaerobic
Digestor and CHP power plant ('Southport' or 'the Project') at
Merseyside, United Kingdom. The acquisition is in line with the
Company's refocused strategy to acquire and develop an energy
portfolio centred around sustainable renewable / clean energy
solutions and opportunities, as detailed in a Company RNS dated 19
April 2021. This includes the addition of a 12MW waste-to-energy
project in the UK (see RNS dated 27 May 2022).
20. Going concern
The Group currently generated revenue of GBP305,384 and had net
assets of GBP10,115,985 as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: net
assets of GBP11,807,883; 30 June 2021: GBP31,748,524).
In performing the going concern assessment, the Board considered
various factors, including the availability of cash and cash
equivalents; data relating to working capital requirements for the
foreseeable future; cash-flows from operational commencement,
available information about the future, the possible outcomes of
planned events, changes in future conditions, the current global
economic situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Ukraine
conflict and the responses to such events and conditions that would
be available to the Board.
Furthermore, the group has incurred losses in the current
financial period and previous periods. These losses coupled with
the net current liability position the Group finds itself in as at
June 2022, indicate that a material uncertainty exists which may
cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a
going concern.
This is largely attributable to the short-term liquidity
position the Group finds itself in as a result of the significant
capital required to develop projects that exceeds cash contributed
to the group by the capital contributors.
The Directors have evaluated the Groups liquidity requirements
to confirm whether the Group has adequate cash resources to
continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, taking into
account the net current liability position, and consequently
prepared a cash flow forecast covering a period of 12 months from
the date of these interim financial statements, concluding that the
Group would be able to continue its operations as a going
concern.
The interim financial statements have accordingly been prepared
on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the
settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
21. Commitments and contingencies
There are no material commitments, contingent assets or
contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2022 nor any of the
comparative periods.
22. Seasonality of operations
The company's operations are not considered to be seasonal or
cyclical. These interim results were therefore not impacted by
seasonality or cyclicality.
