 Seed Capital Solutions plc, formed in December 2017, which operates as a special purpose acquisitions company (SPAC) to undertake one or more acquisitions of target companies or businesses, announces its unaudited half year report for the six months ended 31 December 2023.

Chairman's Statement

I have pleasure in presenting the interim results of Seed Capital Solutions Plc for the six months ended 31 December 2023.

During the financial period under review, the Company reported a net loss of £117,600 (December 2022: £25,800, year to 30 June 2023: £174,800), being the administrative expenses incurred. As at 31 December 2023 the Company had a cash in bank balance of £550,500 (December 2022: £2,400, 30 June 2023: £517,300).

There have been no transactions or events post the balance sheet date that require disclosure.

On 31 March 2023 the Company applied for Admission to Standard Listing on the London Stock Exchange with effect from 11 April 2023 and raised £970,000 through a subscription for 185,406,000 new Ordinary shares at £0.0075 each. The Directors have commenced a review for potential acquisition opportunities. A further announcement will be made at such time as the Company is able to provide further details on any proposed transaction.

Interim Management Report

Company Objective

The Company has been formed for the purpose of acquiring a business or businesses operating in market sectors that display strong environmental, social and governance ("ESG") credentials, thereby benefitting from the current trend of superior performance aligned with increased investor appetite. The Company is not geographically focused on any one or specific country or region, but rather opportunity focused hence any potential acquisition opportunities will not be limited by jurisdiction or geographic region.

The Company was Admitted to the Standard Listing of the London Stock Exchange on 11 April 2023. Since listing, the Directors are targeting socially conscious technology based organisations which are capable of generating sustainable long term growth for investors. The Company's initial focus is to identify opportunities to acquire companies with undervalued or pre-commercialisation technologies, or current commercialisation technologies which, when applied, produce cost savings or revenue enhancement for customers. These commercial advantages could offer market and sector beating performance potential whilst fulfilling the Company's ESG assessment criteria.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Company's primary risk is that it may not be able to identify suitable investment opportunities or there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure an acquisition on commercially acceptable terms, and the Company may incur costs in conducting due diligence into potential investment opportunities that may not result in an investment being made. The directors believe that their broad collective experience, together with their extensive network of contacts will assist them in identifying, evaluating, and funding suitable acquisition opportunities.

It may be necessary to raise additional funds in the future by a further issue of new Ordinary Shares or by other means. However, the ability to fund future investments and overheads as well as the ability of any acquisition to return suitable profit cannot be guaranteed.

Related Parties Transactions

Details of related party transactions are set out in note 5 to these accounts.

Responsibility Statement

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR') and with International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).

The Directors (all non-executive) being John Zorbas, Segar Karupiah, Damion Greef and Mike Hirschfield confirm that to the best of their knowledge:

The interim financial statements are presented in the nearest thousands of Pound Sterling (£'000), which is the presentation currency of the company.

The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim results are the same as those applied in the Company's Financial Statements as at and for the period ended 30 June 2023.

The interim report for the six months ended 31 December 2023 was approved by the Directors on 29 January 2024.

The earnings per share information is as follows:

There are 8,313,532 warrants outstanding at 31 December 2023 and at 30 June 2023 (December 2022: nil). Their effect is anti-dilutive but is potentially dilutive against future profits.

On 18 December 2017, the Company was incorporated with 100 shares of £0.01 each.

On 26 January 2021, the 100 issued Ordinary shares of £0.01 each were sub-divided into 400 new Ordinary shares of £0.0025 each.

On 29 January 2021, new subscribers applied for 15,999,600 new Ordinary shares of £0.0025 each at par raising £39,999. On 10 March 2021, a further 24,000,000 new Ordinary shares of £0.0025 each were issued at par to raise a further £60,000. On 10 August 2021, 4,000,000 new Ordinary shares of £0.0025 each were issued at par to raise £10,000.

On 23 March 2023 12,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of £0.0025 each were issued at par to raise £30,000 and on Admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange on 11 April 2023 129,406,000 new Ordinary Shares of £0.0025 each were issued at £0.0075 per share to raise £970,545. The Company incurred broker commission and legal costs amounting to £107,704 regarding the issue of these shares and this amount has been charged against share premium during the year.

Included in the new ordinary shares issued upon admission are 10,000,000 shares of £0.0025 each issued at £0.0075 to AMI Assets SA for £75,000 and accounted for as receivables at the year end. The Directors are comfortable that the balance will be recoverable.

At 31 December 2023, the Company had the following warrants in issue:

All of these warrants have an exercise price of 1.125 pence per share, vested immediately and have a five-year contractual life. 

A share-based payments charge of £22,447 was calculated on the basis of a Black Scholes valuation of £0.0027 per share. In calculating this grant date 11 April 2023 fair value the parameters used were a stock asset price of £0.0075, an option strike price of £0.01125, a five year maturity period, a risk free interest rate of 3.79% (based on five year Gilt yields) and a volatility of 50% based on management assessment of the risk profile. No dividend payments were factored in the model. As the warrants all vested immediately, the full charge has been recognised in the year.

Nature and purpose of reserves

Share based payments

The share based payments reserve reflects the share based payments charge on warrants granted by the Company as described earlier in this note.

Mr Hirschfield agreed that Kitwell would not make any charges for its services prior to listing.
