CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Company Updates

I am pleased to provide shareholders with an update on Cloudbreak's developments over the course of our first financial year as a listed company on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

In what has been a challenging year for many companies, we have seen continuing shareholder support by way of a successful fundraise of £1.5 million. This will help to progress our portfolio of projects and execute on royalty acquisitions, providing near-term cashflow.

In addition to strengthening our balance sheet, Cloudbreak also appointed Paul Gurney to the Board as a Non-Executive Director in April 2022. Paul brings a wealth of experience in capital markets, deal structuring and facilitating transactions, having recently worked as a Managing Director of BMO's equity desk in London.

Projects

Throughout the Period, Cloudbreak has demonstrated the viability of its project generator model, entering into option agreements for several of its Northwest Portfolio projects, located in northwestern British Columbia ("BC").

Following a successful first phase of exploration, the Group commenced a high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic survey over the Northwest Portfolio, across the Northern Treasure, Rizz, Icefall and Atlin West projects. The objective of this survey was to identify prominent, potentially mineralised structures, and to help determine the next stage of ground-based exploration. Furthermore, the Group has generated and staked an additional project in the prolific Toodoggone region of BC, called the Foggy Mountain Project, announced in April 2022, highlighting Cloudbreak's continued desire to explore and monetize new opportunities.

Another key milestone for Cloudbreak was the formation of a strategic alliance with Alianza Minerals (the "Alliance") to explore for copper deposits in the United States. During the Period, the Alliance made two acquisitions, the Klondike project in Colorado and the Stateline project. Both properties were optioned to Allied Copper in December 2021 and February 2022 respectively, under an agreement which included Allied Copper committing to exploration expenditure and the Alliance retaining a 2% net smelter royalty ("NSR"), split equally between the parties.

The Group has been active in expanding its portfolio across several jurisdictions and commodities throughout the year. In April 2022, Cloudbreak marked its transition into the energy sector by entering into two separate partnerships working towards submitting applications to acquire onshore petroleum exploration licenses in Namibia. These partnerships offer an exciting opportunity to participate in new generative initiatives in Namibia, where exploration for hydrocarbons is at an early stage.

Furthermore, the Group entered into its first royalty agreement with G2 Energy Corp in May 2022. As part of the agreement, Cloudbreak will provide a portion of the acquisition financing for the Masten Unit Energy Project, located in Cochran County Texas, by way of debenture and a 3.25% overriding royalty interest ("ORI") in the project. Through this and similar transactions, we see an opportunity to create significant shareholder value by growing Cloudbreak's cashflow through structured deals and royalty acquisitions.

Towards the end of the year, Cloudbreak announced Norseman Silver Inc completed the acquisition of the Caribou property, ratifying Cloudbreak's 2% NSR. This transaction exemplifies our business model and how Cloudbreak can generate accretive opportunities with significant exploration upside for our partners.

Post year end, the Group entered into an agreement with Legado Oil & Gas Limited (formerly Iron Forge Holdings (III) Limited) to provide development capital for the Butte Strawn Energy Project in Irion County, Texas. The capital is being deployed as a convertible debenture which can be converted into a 6% ORI.

Progress has continued at Foggy Mountain as the team completed a reconnaissance surface programme in October 2022 which confirmed three of the four historic mineral occurrences (the fourth minfile area was not visited in 2022). At our Northern Treasure project, an airborne magnetic survey was also completed in October 2022, identifying several structures that are coincident with minfile occurrences.

Outlook

The year ended 30 June 2022 was active for the Group, having hit a number of operational milestones. We further diversified our portfolio with projects in the energy sector and in new jurisdictions, as well as acquiring our first royalty bringing near-term cashflow.

Despite the global macroeconomic climate, the outlook for the natural resources sector looks robust. Our focus on commodities key to the energy transition movement offers an attractive opportunity for significant shareholder returns as demand, and therefore prices, are set to remain high. Our project generator model allows us to diversify our portfolio across the resource sector, building value while minimizing risk and cost. This helps build cashflow for our shareholders.  

We are starting to see some projects reach a point where we could potentially begin receiving royalty payments further underpinning the benefit of our business model. It is down to the depth of experience within our team that we are able to execute this model successfully.

We look forward to keeping investors updated over the next year and beyond as we generate and pursue new ideas, including lithium assets and bauxite projects, while continuing to diversify into energy royalties and attracting new partnerships.

Financial Review

During the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group earned £559,523 (2021: £2,560,070) in revenue from property option sale agreements. At the end of the fiscal year, there was £310,578 in cash on hand with the cash reserves to be used in the short term to cover compliance costs, initial mineral property due diligence and other costs incidental to the identification and development of mineral acquisition opportunities.

In March 2022, the Company completed a fundraising of £1,469,770 by issuing 19,596,931 ordinary shares at £0.075 per share. In March 2022, the Company drew down £750,000 of the Crescita Capital LLC facility for an issue of 12,000,000 ordinary shares at £0.0625 per share.  

Subsequent to the year end, in July 2022 the Group raised £585,625 through the issue of new ordinary shares and has continued to review and acquire mineral and energy projects and generate revenue through optioning these assets to exploration partners. The buying and selling or optioning of its projects will continue as the core of the Company as we build a new, growth-focused diversified project generator, supported with a natural resource royalty business.

 The loss for the year was £5,557,029 (2021: £902,060 loss) was predominantly made up of administrative expenses and fair value loss on investments. The result for the year ended 30 June 2022 consisted mainly of income from property option payments, expenses from professional and consulting fees and fair value adjustments. The fair value loss of £2.83 million on both listed and unlisted investments held in the Canadian subsidiary is an unrealised loss but has contributed negatively to the Company's 2022 year. For a further breakdown on expenses, please refer to note 23 and for further breakdown on fair value of investments, please refer to note 6.

STRATEGIC REPORT

The Directors of the Company present their Strategic Report on the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022.

Principal Activity

The principal activity of the Group is natural resource project and royalty generation as well as acquisition of projects and royalties.

Review of operations

A review of the business of the Company during the year and an indication of likely future developments may be found in the Chairman's Statement.

Financial performance review

The loss of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 amounts to £5,557,029 (30 June 2021: £902,060).

The Board monitors the activities and performance of the Group on a regular basis. The Board uses financial indicators based on budget versus actual to assess the performance of the Group. The indicators set out below will continue to be used by the Board to assess performance over the period to 30 June 2022.

The main KPIs for the Group are as follows. These allow the Group to monitor costs and plan future exploration and development activities:

KPI	2022	2021
Cash and cash equivalents	£310,578	£1,277,617
Administrative expenses as a percentage of total assets	59.6%	14.1%
Exploration and evaluation cash expenditures	£370,848	£29,675
Carrying value of investment	£2,069,302	£4,353,318

Cash has been used to fund the Group's operations and facilitate its investment activities (refer to the Statements of Cash Flows).

Administrative expenses are the expenses related to the Group's ability to run the corporate functions to ensure they can perform their operational commitments.

Exploration costs included costs non-capitalised costs and costs capitalised during the period consist of exploration expenditure on the Group's exploration licences net of foreign exchange rate movements.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The management of the business and the execution of the Group's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks affecting the Group are set out below.

Risks are formally reviewed by the Board, and appropriate processes are put in place to monitor and mitigate them. If more than one event occurs, it is possible that the overall effect of such events would compound the possible adverse effects on the Group.

Exploration risks

The energy and resource business are controlled by a number of global factors, principally supply and demand which in turn is a key driver of global prices; these factors are beyond the control of the Group. Exploration is a high-risk business and there can be no guarantee that any mineralisation discovered will result in proven and probable reserves or go on to be an operating mine. At every stage of the exploration process the projects are rigorously reviewed to determine if the results justify the next stage of expenditure ensuring that funds are only applied to high priority targets. The energy sector is a cyclic business and sensitive to several global and regional factors that the company is not able to predict or control.

Some of the principal assets of the Group are subject to certain financial and legal commitments. If these commitments are not fulfilled the licences could be revoked. They are also subject to option agreements and legislation defined by the local government; if this legislation is changed or option payments are not made on time, it could adversely affect the value of the Group's assets.

Dependence on key personnel

The Group is dependent upon its executive management team and various technical consultants. Whilst it has entered into contractual agreements with the aim of securing the services of these personnel, the retention of their services cannot be guaranteed. The development and success of the Group depends on its ability to recruit and retain high quality and experienced staff. The loss of the service of key personnel or the inability to attract additional qualified personnel as the Group grows could have an adverse effect on future business and financial conditions.

Uninsured risk

The Group, as a participant in exploration and development programmes, may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against or third-party claims that exceed the insurance cover. The Group may also be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards that are beyond control, including geological, geotechnical and seismic factors, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, occupational and health hazards and weather conditions or other acts of God.

Royalty acquisitions risk

The growth and viability of the Group is dependent on its ability to successfully identify and acquire royalties. The availability of potential royalties which meet the Group's investing policy will depend, inter alia, on the state of the world economy, general business conditions, commodity prices, mining sector appetite, alternative sources of finance and financial markets generally.

Funding risk

The only sources of funding currently available to the Group are through the issue of additional equity capital in the parent company, drawdown additional equity through the Crescita Capital Facility or through bringing in partners to fund exploration and development costs. The Group's ability to raise further funds will depend on the success of the Group's exploration activities and its investment strategy. The Group may not be successful in procuring funds on terms which are attractive and, if such funding is unavailable, the Group may be required to reduce the scope of its exploration activities or relinquish some of the exploration licences held for which it may incur fines or penalties.

Financial risks

The Group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that can include market risk (including foreign currency, price and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group has a risk management programme in place that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group by monitoring levels of debt finance and the related finance costs. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate costs and, as such, no hedge accounting is applied.

Investment risks

The Group holds investments in publicly listed and non-listed securities. These future valuations are determined by many factors but include the operational and financial performance of the underlying investee companies, as well as market perceptions of the future of the economy and its impact upon the economic environment in which these companies operate.  This risk represents the potential loss that the Group might suffer through holding its financial investment portfolio in the face of market movements.

Details of the Group's financial risk management policies are set out in Note 3 to the Financial Statements.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations.

The Directors are confident that this funding will continue and consider that the Group will have access to adequate resources to meet operational requirements for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. On this basis, the Directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the Financial Statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.

Internal Controls

The Board recognises the importance of both financial and non-financial controls and has reviewed the Group's control environment and any related shortfalls during the year. Since the Group was established, the Directors are satisfied that, given the current size and activities of the Group, adequate internal controls have been implemented. The Directors are aware that no system can provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, however, in light of the current activity and proposed future development of the Group, continuing reviews of internal controls will be undertaken to ensure that they are adequate and effective.

Section 172(1) Statement - Promotion of the Company for the benefit of the members as a whole

The Directors believe they have acted in the way 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.

The requirements of s172 are for the Directors to:

· Consider the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,

· Act fairly between the members of the Company,

· Maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct,

· Consider the interests of the Company's employees,

· Foster the Company's relationships with suppliers, customers and others, and

· Consider the impact of the Company's operations on the community and the environment.

The Group operates as a project generation and royalty business for the natural resources sectors, which is inherently speculative in nature and, without regular income, is dependent upon fund-raising for its continued operation. The nature of the business is important to the understanding of the Group by its members, employees and suppliers, and the Directors are as transparent about the cash position and funding requirements as is allowed under FCA regulations. The application of the s172 requirements are demonstrated throughout this report and the financial statements as a whole, with the following examples representing some of the key decisions made in 2021 and up to the date of the approval of these financial statements:

· Remunerate the Directors with share options in lieu of cash: during the year, having decided on a plan to raise new funds to finance operations, the Directors also decided that to maximise funds available for exploration the Directors would be remunerated in part by share options instead of cash. This has the added benefit of more fully aligning the interests of the Directors with those of the members.

· Ethical responsibility to the community and the environment: the Board takes seriously its ethical responsibilities to the communities and environment in which it works. We abide by the local and relevant UK laws on anti-corruption and bribery. Wherever possible, local communities are engaged in the geological operations and support functions required for field operations, providing much needed employment and wider economic benefits to the local communities. In addition, we follow international best practise on environmental aspects of our work. Our goal is to meet or exceed standards, in order to ensure we obtain and maintain our social licence to operate from the communities with which we interact.

· Appointment of new director : Expanding organisational capability through appointing experienced Board members to govern and lead the Company.

· Securing new partners for exploration properties: During the year, the Group continued to expand their exploration properties and secure new option agreements for these properties which continues to generate revenue for the Group.

The need to act fairly between members of the Company

After weighing up all relevant factors, the Directors consider which course of action best enables delivery of our strategy over the long-term, taking into consideration the impact on stakeholders. The Directors believe they have acted in the way they consider most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole.

The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders. The Company has close ongoing relationships with key private shareholder, analysts and brokers, providing the opportunity to discuss issues and provide feedback at meetings with the Company. All shareholders are encouraged to attend the Company's Annual General Meeting and any general meetings held by the Company.

The desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct

The Board periodically reviews and approves clear frameworks, such as the Company's Code of Business Ethics, to ensure that its high standards are maintained both within the Group and the business relationships we maintain. This, complemented by the various ways the Board is informed and monitors compliance with relevant governance standards, help ensure its decisions are taken and that the Group acts in ways that promote high standards of business conduct.

 

Developing relationships with the option agreement partners, suppliers and others

Delivering on our strategy requires strong mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers. The Group values all of its suppliers and aims to build strong positive relationships through open communication and adherence option agreement terms.  The Group is committed to being a responsible entity and doing the right thing for its suppliers and business partners.

 

The impact of the Company's operations on the community and the environment

The Group is committed to the highest environmental, social and governance standards both internally within the Group and externally with its partners. The Group is committed to being a responsible entity in terms of the community and the wider environment.

 

Conclusion

The Directors believe that to the best of their wisdom and abilities, they have acted in the way they consider prudent to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, in the true spirit of the provisions of Section 172 (1) of the Companies Act 2006.

Corporate responsibility

Greenhouse gas emissions

Given the nature of its activities which include aerial geophysics with a helicopter and the operation of drill rigs, the Group is conscious of greenhouse gas emissions. The Directors are mindful of their responsibilities in this regard and strive to seek opportunities where improvements may be made.

The Board recognises its responsibility to protect the environment and is fully committed to conserving natural resources and striving for environmental sustainability, by ensuring that its facilities are operated to optimise energy usage; minimise waste production; and protect nature and people.

The Group is currently deemed to be a low energy user meaning it has consumed less that 40MWh of energy during the reporting period. This includes the combustion of gas, consumption of fuel for transport and the purchase of electricity for its own use. As such, it is exempt from disclosing actual kWh of energy emitted during the period from its operations and activities.

As the Group's operations scale up, it will continue to monitor its energy use and its status as a low energy user. The Group will seek to collect, structure, and effectively disclose related performance data for the material, climate-related risks and opportunities identified where relevant.

Internal controls

The Board recognises the importance of both financial and non-financial controls and has reviewed the Group's control environment and any related shortfalls during the period. Since the Group was established, the Directors are satisfied that, given the current size and activities of the Group, adequate internal controls have been implemented. Whilst they are aware that no system can provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, in light of the current activity and proposed future development of the Group, continuing reviews of internal controls will be undertaken to ensure that they are adequate and effective.

Supplier payment policy

The Group's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI's Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1DU).

The Group's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to:

· settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction;

· ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and

· pay in accordance with the Group's contractual and other legal obligations.

Going concern

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Although the Group's assets are not generating revenues and an operating loss has been reported, the Directors are of the view that the Group has sufficient funds to meet all committed and contractual expenditure within the next 12 months and to maintain good title to the exploration licences. This will ensure they will still be in a strong financial position once they are able to re-commence exploration activity.

The Group's business activities together with the additional factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Chairman's Report on pages 3 & 4. In addition, Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements includes the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments and its exposure to market, credit and liquidity risk.

Directors' and Officers' indemnity insurance

The Group has made qualifying third-party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its Directors and Officers. These were made during the period and remain in force at the date of this report.

Financial risk management objectives

The Group has disclosed the financial risk management objectives within Note 3 to these Financial Statements.

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period are set out in Note 24 to the Financial Statements.

Future developments

Details of future developments for the Group are disclosed in the Chairman's Report on page 3.

Provision of information to Auditor

So far as each of the Directors is aware at the time this report is approved:

· there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware; and

· the Directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

Auditor

PKF Littlejohn LLP has signified its willingness to continue in office as auditor.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable 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 Group and Company 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 Group and Company, and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these Financial Statements, the Directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK-adopted international accounting standards have been followed, 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 Group will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group's and Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and Company, and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website, www.cloudbreakdiscovery.com. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the Financial Statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the Financial Statements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

As a Group listed on the Standard Segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, the Group is not required to comply with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code. However, the Board is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and so far, as appropriate given the Group's size and the constitution of the Board, complies and intends to comply with The Corporate Governance Guidelines for Small and Mid-Sized Companies (the "QCA Code").

In light of the Group's size and recent history, the Group has deviated from the QCA Code in the following respects:

· The provisions relating to the composition of the Board and the division of responsibilities are not being complied with as the Board feels these provisions to be inapplicable, given the size of the Group.

· The Board do not consider an internal audit function to be applicable due to the size of the Group.

· A diversity policy as applied to the Group's administrative management and supervisory bodies has not yet been developed.

The Directors are responsible for internal control in the Group and for reviewing effectiveness. Due to the size of the Group, all key decisions are made by the Board. The Directors have reviewed the effectiveness of the Group's systems during the period under review and consider that there have been no material losses, contingencies or uncertainties due to weaknesses in the controls.

The Group will hold timely board meetings as issues arise which require the attention of the Board. The Board is responsible for the management of the business of the Group, setting the strategic direction of the Group and establishing the policies of the Group. It is the Directors' responsibility to oversee the financial position of the Group and monitor the business and affairs of the Group, on behalf of the Shareholders, to whom they are accountable. The primary duty of the Directors is to act in the best interests of the Group at all times. The Board also addresses issues relating to internal control and the Group's approach to risk management and has formally adopted an anti-corruption and bribery policy.

The Directors have established an audit committee, a nomination committee and a remuneration committee with formally delegated duties and responsibilities. Emma Priestley and Paul Gurney are each considered by the Board to be an independent Non-Executive Director. At the date of release, Andrew Male is considered to be an Executive Director.

The QCA Code has ten principles of corporate governance that the Group has committed to apply within the foundations of the business. These principles are:

1.  Establish a strategy and business model which promote long-term value for shareholders;

2.  Seek to understand and meet shareholder needs and expectations;

3.  Take into account wider stakeholder and social responsibilities and their implications for long term success;

4.  Embed effective risk management, considering both opportunities and threats, throughout the organisation;

5.  Maintain the board as a well-functioning balanced team led by the Chair;

6.  Ensure that between them the directors have the necessary up to date experience, skills and capabilities;

7.  Evaluate board performance based on clear and relevant objectives, seeking continuous improvement;

8.  Promote a corporate culture that is based on ethical values and behaviours;

9.  Maintain governance structures and processes that are fit for purpose and support good decision-making by the Board; and

10.  Communicate how the Group is governed and is performing by maintaining a dialogue with shareholders and other relevant stakeholders.

There follows a short explanation of how the Group will apply each of the principles:

Principle One

Business Model and Strategy

The Board has determined that the best medium and long term value can be delivered through the adoption of a single strategy. The Group's principal activity is natural resource project and royalty generation as well as acquisition of projects and royalties. Cloudbreak maximizes its returns by seeking buyers to purchase its properties or by seeking partners to jointly develop its properties through joint ventures or other partnering mechanisms.

Principle Two

Understanding Shareholder Needs and Expectations

The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders. Shareholders are encouraged to attend the Group's Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). Investors also have access to current information on the Group though its website, www.cloudbreakdiscovery.com, and via Kyler Hardy, Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew Male, Executive Director who are responsible for shareholder liaison and are available to answer investor relations enquiries. Shareholders can email the Group at [e-mail] or via a submission on the Group website.

The Group's Annual Report, Notice of AGM are sent to all shareholders and can be downloaded from our website. Copies of the interim report and other investor presentations are also available on the Group's website. Shareholders are kept up to date via regulatory news flow ("RNS") on matters of a material substance and regulatory nature.

Periodic updates are provided to the market and any deviations to these updates are announced via RNS. At the AGM, separate resolutions are proposed on each substantial issue. For each proposed resolution, proxy forms are issued which provide voting shareholders with an opportunity to vote in advance of the AGM if they are unable to vote in person. Our registrars, count the proxy votes which are properly recorded, and the results of the AGM are announced through an RNS.

The Board is keen to ensure that the voting decisions of shareholders are reviewed and monitored and that approvals sought at the Group's AGM are as much as possible within the recommended guidelines of the QCA Code. Non-deal roadshows will be arranged throughout the year to meet with existing shareholders and potential new stakeholders to maintain, as much as possible, transparency and dialogue with the market. Additionally, investor presentations can be found on the Group's website.

Principle Three

Considering Wider Stakeholder and Social Responsibilities

The Board recognises that the long-term success of the Group is reliant upon open communication with its internal and external stakeholders: investee companies, shareholders, contractors, suppliers, regulators and other stakeholders. The Group has close ongoing relationships with a broad range of its stakeholders and provides them via regular contact with the opportunity to raise issues and provide feedback to the Group. The Board regularly reviews and assesses its key resources and relationships and has established processes and systems to ensure that there is close oversight and contact with its minority investee companies and key stakeholders.

Principle Four

Risk Management

The Board is responsible for ensuring that procedures are in place and being implemented effectively to identify, evaluate and manage the significant risks faced by the Group, noting that the Group is primarily an operating company with some remaining minority investments in portfolio companies. A risk assessment matrix has been established by the Group and is updated at regular intervals. The following principal risks, and controls to mitigate them, have been identified:

Risk.	Impact	Probability	Risk Level	Mitigating Actions & Controls	Risk Owner	Accept
Exploration risks	High	Low	Medium	Experience of the Board and the technical senior management team;	CEO	Yes
Dependence on key personnel	High	Medium	Low	Key management have significant equity; Share options awarded; Exciting business opportunities	CEO	Yes
Uninsured risk	Medium	Low	Low	Group's exploration programmes are in the early stages with no mine development or operations in place as of yet	CEO	Yes
Funding risk	High	Medium	Medium	Cash on hand, investments held and bought deal equity facility in place sufficient to fund the Comely for the foreseeable future.	CEO	Yes
Financial risks	High	Medium	Medium	No debt held by the Group. Audit Committee	CEO	Yes
Investment risk	High	Medium	Medium	Investments are held in both listed and unlisted entities and the board monitor their investments in a regular basis. For unlisted investments the board attempt to have regular communication with the management team of the investee.	CEO	Yes

Principle Five

A Well Functioning Board of Directors

The Board comprises the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kyler Hardy, Executive Director, Andrew Male (effective from release of these accounts) and two Non-Executive Directors, Paul Gurney and Emma Priestley. Biographical details of the current Directors are set out on the Company's website. Executive and Non-Executive Directors are subject to re-election in accordance with both the requirements of the UK Companies Act 2006 and the Group's articles of association ("Articles"). The Group's Articles state that Directors are subject to re-election at intervals of no more than three years. The letters of appointment for all Directors stipulate the time commitment that each Director is expected to provide to the Group. The Board Chairman serves as chair of every meeting of the Board of Directors.

The Board meets at least twice per year. It has established an Audit Committee, the members of which are Paul Gurney and Emma Priestley. The Nominations Committee consists of Emma Priestley (Chair) and Paul Gurney. A Remuneration Committee has been established and is composed of Emma Priestley (chair) and Paul Gurney.

Emma Priestley and Paul Gurney are considered to be independent Directors and as such the Group is in compliance with the requirement to have a minimum of two independent Non-Executive Directors on its Board.

The Board shall review further appointments.

The Group reports annually in the Directors' Report on the number of Board and committee meetings held during the year and the attendance record of individual Directors. To date, in the current financial year, the Directors have a 100% record of attendance at such meetings. Directors meet formally and informally both in person and by telephone.

Principle Six

Appropriate Skills and Experience of the Directors

The Board currently consists of four Directors. Westend Corporate LLP acts as the Company Secretary. The Group believes that the current balance of skills in the Board as a whole, reflects a very broad range of commercial and professional skills across geographies and industries and all of the Directors have experience in the natural resources sector and public markets. Information about the directors can be found on the website.

The Board is kept abreast with developments of governance and London Stock Exchange ("LSE") regulations. The Group's lawyers provide updates on governance issues. The Directors have access to the Group's company secretary, lawyers and auditors as and when required and are able to obtain advice from other external bodies when necessary.

Principle Seven

Evaluation of Board Performance

Internal evaluation of the Board, the Committees and individual Directors is undertaken on an annual basis in the form of peer appraisal and discussions to determine the effectiveness and performance against targets and objectives, as well as the Directors' continued independence. As a part of the appraisal the appropriateness and opportunity for continuing professional development whether formal or informal is discussed and assessed.

Principle Eight

Corporate Culture

The Board recognises that their decisions regarding strategy and risk will impact the corporate culture of the Group as a whole, which in turn will impact the Group's performance. The Directors are very aware that the tone and culture set by the Board will greatly impact all aspects of the Group as a whole and the way that consultants or other representatives behave. The corporate governance arrangements that the Board has adopted are designed to instil a firm ethical code to be followed by Directors, employees, consultants and representatives alike throughout the entire organisation. The Group strives to achieve and maintain an open and respectful dialogue with employees, representatives, regulators, suppliers and other stakeholders. Therefore, the importance of sound ethical values and behaviours is crucial to the ability of the Group to successfully achieve its corporate objectives. The Board places great importance on this aspect of corporate life and seeks to ensure that this flows through all that the Group does. The Directors consider that at present the Group has an open culture facilitating comprehensive dialogue and feedback and enabling positive and constructive challenge. The Group has adopted, with effect from the date on which its shares were admitted to LSE, a code for Directors' dealings in securities which is appropriate for a company whose securities are traded on LSE and is in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation which came into effect in 2016.

Issues of bribery and corruption are taken seriously, the Group has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and has an anti-bribery and corruption policy in place to protect the Group, its employees and those third parties to which the business engages with. The policy is provided to staff upon joining the business and training is provided to ensure that all employees within the business are aware of the importance of preventing bribery and corruption. Each employment contract specifies that the employee will comply with the policies. There are strong financial controls across the business to ensure on going monitoring and early detection.

Principle Nine

Maintenance of Governance Structures and Processes

The Audit Committee is chaired by Paul Gurney with Emma Priestley being the other member. The Board has adopted appropriate delegations of authority which set out matters which are reserved for the Board. The Chairman is responsible for the effectiveness of the Board as well as primary contact with shareholders, while, as an operating company, execution of the Group's strategy is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer.

The Audit Committee has primary responsibility for monitoring the quality of internal controls and ensuring that the financial performance of the Group is properly measured and reported. It receives reports from Group advisors and auditors relating to the interim and annual accounts and the accounting and internal control systems in use throughout the Group. The Audit Committee meets not less than twice in each financial year, and it has unrestricted access to the Group's auditors.

In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Board complies with: a duty to act within their powers; a duty to promote the success of the Group; a duty to exercise independent judgement; a duty to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence; a duty to avoid conflicts of interest; a duty not to accept benefits from third parties and a duty to declare any interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement. The Board notes requirement for the Group to meet the LSE Rules for Companies such that the Group is suitable at all times to remain admitted to trading on LSE. This includes the requirement for a governance structure compatible with this requirement.

The Board retains full and effective control over the Group and holds regular meetings at which financial, operational and other reports are considered and where appropriate voted upon. The Board is responsible for the Group's strategy and key financial and compliance issues.

There are certain matters that are reserved for the Board, they include:

• approval of the Group's strategic aims and objectives;

• Review of Group performance and ensuring that any necessary corrective action is taken;

• Extension of the Group's activities into new business or geographical areas;

• Any decision to cease to operate all or any part of the Group's business;

• Major changes to the Group's corporate structure and management and control structure;

• Any changes to the Group's listing;

• Changes to governance and key business policies;

• Ensuring maintenance of a sound system of internal control and risk management;

• Approval of half yearly and Annual Report and accounts and preliminary announcements of final year results;

• Reviewing material contracts and contracts not in the ordinary course of business.

As the Group grows, the Directors will ensure that the governance framework remains in place to support the development of the business.

Principle Ten

Shareholder Communication

The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders in compliance with regulations applicable to companies quoted on the LSE market. All shareholders are encouraged to attend the Group's AGM where they will be given the opportunity to interact with the Directors.

Investors also have access to current information on the Group though its website, www.cloudbreakdiscovery.com, and via Kyler Hardy, Chief Executive Officer, who is available to answer investor relations enquiries.

The Group shall include, when relevant, in its Annual Report, any matters of note arising from the Audit Committee (none for the current year).

Copies of all Annual Reports, Notices of Meetings, Circulars sent to shareholders and Admission Documents (in respect of the last five years) are included on the Group's website.

If a significant proportion of votes was ever cast against a resolution by shareholders in General Meeting, the Group would, on a timely basis, provide an explanation of what actions it intends to take to understand the reasons behind that vote result, and, where appropriate, any different action it has taken, or will take, as a result of the vote.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2022

1.  General information

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England (registered number: 06275976), which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Company is Suite 10011, 15 Ingestre Place, London, England, W1F 0DU.

2.  Summary of significant Accounting Policies

The principal Accounting Policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are set out below. These Policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation of Financial Statements

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards (UK IAS) in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The Financial Statements have also been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The Financial Statements are presented in Pound Sterling rounded to the nearest pound.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with UK IAS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Accounting Policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in Note 4.

2.2  New and amended standards

(a) New and amended standards mandatory for the first time for the financial periods beginning on or after 1 July 2021

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued various amendments and revisions to International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations. The amendments and revisions were applicable for the period ended 30 June 2022 but did not result in any material changes to the financial statements of the Group or Company.

ii) New standards, amendments and interpretations in issue but not yet effective or not yet endorsed and not early adopted

Standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted are as follows:

Standard	Impact on initial application	Effective date
IAS 12	Income taxes	1 January 2023
IFRS 17	Insurance contracts	1 January 2023
IAS 8	Accounting estimates	1 January 2023
IAS 1	Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current.	1 January 2023
IAS 1	Presentation of Financial Statements regarding the amendments of disclosure of accounting policies	1 January 2023

The Group is evaluating the impact of the new and amended standards above which are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's results or shareholders' funds.

2.3  Basis of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 30 June. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

· The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

· Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

· The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment within the Parent Company financial statements. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by other members of the Group. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between Group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation.

2.4  Going concern

The Group Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Although the Group's assets are not generating revenues and an operating loss has been reported, the Directors are of the view that, the Group has funds to meet its planned expenses over the next 12 months from the date of these financial statements.

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Directors have taken into account all relevant available information about the current and future position of the Group, including current level of resources and the required level of spending on exploration and corporate activities. As part of the assessment, the Directors have also taken into account the potential for continuing warrant exercises and the ability to raise new funding and utilizing the Crescita facility whilst maintaining an acceptable level of cash for the Group to meet all commitments.

The Directors are confident that the measures they have available will result in sufficient working capital and cash flows to continue in operational existence. Taking these matters in consideration, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements.

2.5  Foreign currencies

a)  Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Financial Information are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency'). The functional currency of the parent company is Pounds Sterling as is the functional currency of the subsidiary Imperial Minerals (UK) Limited. The functional currency of the other subsidiary, Cloudbreak Discovery (Canada) Ltd. is Canadian Dollars. The Financial Information in Cloudbreak Discovery (Canada) Ltd is translated in accordance with IAS 21 - The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

b)  Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where such 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 in other comprehensive income. The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (£), the functional currency of Cloudbreak Discovery Plc is Pounds Sterling, and the functional currency of its subsidiary Cloudbreak Discovery (Canada) Ltd is Canadian Dollars.

2.6  Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The resulting calculations under IFRS 13 affected the principles that the Company uses to assess the fair value, but the assessment of fair value under IFRS 13 has not materially changed the fair values recognised or disclosed. IFRS 13 mainly impacts the disclosures of the Company. It requires specific disclosures about fair value measurements and disclosures of fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure requirements in other standards.

2.7  Finance Income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

2.8  Other income

The other income of the Group comprises royalty income. It is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after deducting discounts and other withholding tax. The royalty income becomes receivable on extraction and sale of the relevant underlying commodity, and by determination of the relevant royalty agreement.

2.9  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at hand and current and deposit balances with banks and similar institutions, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. This definition is also used for the Statement of Cash Flows.

2.10  Trade and other receivables and prepaids

Trade receivables are amounts due from third parties in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

2.11  Royalty assets at fair value through profit and loss

Royalty financial assets are recognised or derecognised on completion date where a purchase or sale of the royalty is under a contract, and are initially measured at fair value, including transaction costs. All of the Group's royalty financial assets have been designated as at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). The royalty financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in the 'revaluation of royalty financial assets' line item of the income statement.

2.12  Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in Group undertakings are stated at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration paid, less any impairment provision.

2.13  Intangible assets

Exploration and evaluation assets

The Group recognises expenditure as exploration and evaluation assets when it determines that those assets hold potential to be successful in finding specific resources. Expenditure included in the initial exploration and evaluation assets relate to the acquisition of rights to explore, topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies, exploratory drilling, trenching, sampling and activities to evaluate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a resource. Capitalisation of pre-production expenditure ceases when the prospective property is capable of commercial production.

Exploration and evaluation assets are recorded and held at cost

Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to amortisation, as such at the year-end all intangibles held have an indefinite life but are assessed annually for impairment. The assessment is carried out by allocating exploration and evaluation assets to cash generating units ('CGU's'), which are based on specific projects or geographical areas. The CGU's are then assessed for impairment using a variety of methods including those specified in IFRS 6.

Whenever the exploration for and evaluation of resources in cash generating units does not lead to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of resources and the Group has decided to discontinue such activities of that unit, the associated expenditures are written off to the Income Statement.

Exploration and evaluation assets recorded at fair-value on business combination

Exploration assets which are acquired as part of a business combination are recognised at fair value in accordance with IFRS 3. When a business combination results in the acquisition of an entity whose only significant assets are its exploration asset and/or rights to explore, the Directors consider that the fair value of the exploration assets is equal to the consideration. Any excess of the consideration over the capitalised exploration asset is attributed to the fair value of the exploration asset.

2.14 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example, intangible assets not ready to use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.15 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into one of the categories discussed below, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Group's accounting policy for each category is as follows:

Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Non-derivative financial assets comprising the Group's strategic financial investments in entities not qualifying as subsidiaries or jointly controlled entities. These assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognised through the income statement. Where there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a financial investment (which constitutes objective evidence of impairment), the full amount of the impairment is recognised in the income statement.

Due to the nature of these assets being unlisted investments or held for the longer term, the investment period is likely to be greater than 12 months and therefore these financial assets are shown as non-current assets in the Statement of financial position.

Listed investments are valued at closing bid price on 30 June 2022. For measurement purposes, financial investments are designated at fair value through the income statement. Gains and losses on the realisation of investments are recognised in the income statement for the period. The difference between the market value of financial instruments and book value to the Group is shown as a gain or loss in the income statement for the period.

Amortised Cost

These assets comprise the types of financial assets where the objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Impairment provisions for current and non-current trade receivables and convertible debenture receivables are recognised based on the simplified approach within IFRS 9 using a provision matrix in the determination of the lifetime expected credit losses.

During this process the probability of the non-payment of the trade receivables and convertible debenture receivables is assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the trade receivables. For the receivables, which are reported net, such provisions are recorded in a separate provision account with the loss being recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. On confirmation that the receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.

Impairment provisions for receivables from related parties and loans to related parties are recognised based on a forward-looking expected credit loss model. The methodology used to determine the amount of the provision is based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset, based on analysis of internal or external information. For those where the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial asset, twelve month expected credit losses along with gross interest income are recognised. For those for which credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime expected credit losses along with the gross interest income are recognised. For those that are determined to be credit impaired, lifetime expected credit losses along with interest income on a net basis are recognised. 

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 180 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

The Group's financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables, convertible debenture receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and - for the purpose of the statement of cash flows - bank overdrafts.

 

(a) Recognition and measurement

Amortised cost

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date at cost - the date on which the Group commits to purchasing or selling the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred, and the Group has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership . 

Fair value through the profit or loss

Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. The Group holds equity instruments that are classified as FVTPL as these were acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

Financial assets at FTVPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Fair value is determined by using market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorised into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilised are (the 'fair value hierarchy'):

- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items (unadjusted)

- Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs

- Level 3: Unobservable inputs (i.e. not derived from market data).

The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognised in the period they occur.

The Group measures its investments in quoted shares using the quoted market price.

(b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original EIR. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables (not subject to provisional pricing) and other receivables due in less than 12 months, the Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs, as permitted by IFRS 9. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead, recognises a loss allowance based on the financial asset's lifetime ECL at each reporting date.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows and usually occurs when past due for more than one year and not subject to enforcement activity.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

(d) Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. This is the same treatment for a financial asset measured at FVTPL.

2.16   Financial Investments

Non-derivative financial assets comprising the Group's strategic financial investments in entities not qualifying as subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities. These assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognised through the income statement. Where there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a financial investment (which constitutes objective evidence of impairment), the full amount of the impairment is recognised in the income statement. 

Listed investments are valued at closing bid price on 30 June 2022. Unlisted investments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot be measured reliably, are measured at cost less impairment.

2.17  Equity

Equity comprises the following:

· "Share capital" represents the nominal value of the Ordinary shares;

· "Share Premium" represents consideration less nominal value of issued shares and costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares;

· "Reverse asset acquisition reserve" represents the retained losses of the Company before acquisition and the Company equity at reverse acquisition.

· "Other reserves" represents the foreign currency translation reserve, warrant reserve and share option reserve where;

o  "Foreign currency translation reserve" represents the translation differences arising from translating the financial statement items from functional currency to presentational currency;

o  "Warrant reserve" represents share warrants awarded by the Group;

o  "Share option reserve" represents share options awarded by the Group;

· "Retained earnings" represents retained losses.

2.18  Share based payments

The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based scheme under which the Group receives services from employees or contractors as consideration for equity instruments (options and warrants) of the Group. The fair value of the third-party suppliers' services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense in the Income Statement or charged to equity depending on the nature of the service provided. The value of the employee services received is expensed in the Income Statement and its value is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

· including any market performance conditions;

· excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability or sales growth targets, or remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and

· including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save).

The fair value of the share options and warrants are determined using the Black Scholes valuation model.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense or charge is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the Income Statement or equity as appropriate, with a corresponding adjustment to a separate reserve in equity.

When the options are exercised, the Group issues new shares. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

2.19  Taxation

No current tax is yet payable in view of the losses to date.

Deferred tax is recognised for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets (including those arising from investments in subsidiaries), are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be used.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply to the period when the deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

3  Financial risk management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. None of these risks are hedged.

Risk management is carried out by the Canadian based management team under policies approved by the Board of Directors.

3.1  Treasury policy and financial instruments

During the years under review, the financial instruments were cash and cash equivalents, shares in listed and unlisted companies and other receivables which were or will be required for the normal operations of the Group.

The Group operates informal treasury policies which include ongoing assessments of interest rate management and borrowing policy. The Board approves all decisions on treasury policy.

The Group has raised funds to finance future activities through the placing of shares, placing of shares via the Crescita Capital LLC draw down facility, together with share options and warrants. There are no differences between the book value and fair value of the above financial assets. The risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are liquidity and interest rate risk. The Directors review and agree policies for managing these risks and they are summarised below:

Unlisted investments

The Company is required to make judgments over the carrying value of investments in unquoted companies where fair values cannot be readily established and evaluate the size of any impairment required. It is important to recognise that the carrying value of such investments cannot always be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, may not be capable of being realised immediately. Management's significant judgement in this regard is that the value of their investment represents their cost less previous impairment.

Market risk & foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to market risk, primarily relating to interest rate and foreign exchange movements. The Group does not hedge against market or foreign exchange risks as the exposure is not deemed sufficient to enter into forwards or similar contracts.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as outstanding receivables. The amount of exposure to any individual counter party is subject to a limit, which is assessed by the Board.

The Group considers the credit ratings of banks in which it holds funds in order to reduce exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk and interest rate risk

The Group seeks to manage financial risk, to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. This is achieved by the close control by the Directors of the Group in the day-to-day management of liquid resources. Cash is invested in deposit accounts which provide a modest return on the Group's resources whilst ensuring there is limited risk of loss to the Group.

3.2  Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

4  Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Information and the reported amount of expenses during the year. Actual results may vary from the estimates used to produce this Financial Information.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

Share based payment transactions

The Group has made awards of options and warrants over its unissued share capital to certain Directors and employees as part of their remuneration package. Certain warrants have also been issued to shareholders as part of their subscription for shares and to suppliers for various services received.

The valuation of these options and warrants involves making a number of critical estimates relating to price volatility, future dividend yields, expected life of the options and forfeiture rates.

Classification of royalty arrangements: initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The Directors must decide whether the Group's royalty arrangements should be classified as:

· Intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets; or

· Financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

The Directors use the following selection criteria to identify the characteristics which determine which accounting standard to apply to each royalty arrangement:

Type 1 - Intangible assets: Royalties, are classified as intangible assets by the Group. The Group considers the substance of a simple royalty to be economically similar to holding a direct interest in the underlying mineral asset. Existence risk (the commodity physically existing in the quantity demonstrated), production risk (that the operator can achieve production and operate a commercially viable project), timing risk (commencement and quantity produced, determined by the operator) and price risk (returns vary depending on the future commodity price, driven by future supply and demand) are all risks which the Group participates in on a similar basis to an owner of the underlying mineral licence. Furthermore, in a royalty intangible, there is only a right to receive cash to the extent there is production and there are no interest payments, minimum payment obligations or means to enforce production or guarantee repayment. These are accounted for as intangible assets under IAS-38.

Type 2 - Financial royalty assets (royalties with additional financial protection): In certain circumstances where the risk is considered too high, the Group will look to introduce additional protective measures. This has taken the form of minimum payment terms. Once an operation is in production, these mechanisms generally fall away such that the royalty will display identical characteristics and risk profile to the intangible royalties; however, it is the contractual right to enforce the receipt of cash which results in these royalties being accounted for as financial assets under IFRS 9. There are currently no royalties classified as financial royalty assets.

Estimated impairment of convertible loan notes receivable & Convertible debenture receivables

Anglo African Minerals Plc ('AAM')

The Group has assessed whether the AAM convertible loan notes receivable which has been previously fully impaired in the prior year. They have reassessed this asset and determined that there are no conditions to reverse the impairment.

G2 Energy Corp. ("G2")

The Group also assessed whether the G2 convertible debenture receivable should be impaired and based on the current production levels and the programme at the Masten Unit Energy Project, they have determined it should not be impaired as G2, through the funding from the Company, now have the funds required to undertake the exploration activity and advance the project. The terms of the debenture is still being met by both parties and G2 are paying the necessary interest payments. The directors assessed this debenture in accordance with IFRS and concluded it is a financial asset accounted for as amortised cost as the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold and collect the contractual cash flows which is in the form of interest and principal payments. As part of the debenture agreement, the Group received a 3.25% Overriding Royalty Interest in the project which has limited production and revenues. In accordance with IFRS the directors has assessed the royalty interest and accounted for it as intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38 because there is only a right to receive cash to the extent there is production and there are no interest payments, minimum payment obligations or means to enforce production or guarantee repayment. These are accounted for as intangible assets under IAS 38. The directors considered the fair value of the royalty assets which they receive in exchange as part of the debenture agreement for which they did not pay any consideration. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models (and other valuation techniques) using assumptions considered to be reasonable and consistent with those that would be applied by a market participant. The determination of assumptions used in assessing fair values is subjective and the use of different valuation assumptions could have a significant impact on financial results. The current royalty covers a very small production site and only £11k has been received to date from this royalty. Following their assessment, the directors concluded that the fair value of the royalty agreement was not material and has not been recognised as intangible asset. As part of the debenture agreement, the Group received 6,500,000 warrants for G2, however management have deemed that these warrants have no material value at this stage as the assets held by G2 are predominantly made up of early stage exploration and production assets which currently producing limited amounts of revenue. The group is in regular communication with G2 and is monitoring the results of its exploration activities that will be undertaken as the result of the funding by the Group to G2.

Unlisted investments

The Group is required to make judgments over the carrying value of investments in unquoted companies where fair values cannot be readily established and evaluate the size of any impairment required. It is important to recognise that the carrying value of such investments cannot always be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, may not be capable of being realised immediately. Management's significant judgement in this regard is that the value of their investment represents their cost less previous impairment. Management have assessed whether any impairment on the unlisted investments is required and have determined that no impairment is required.

Recovery of other receivables

Includ ed in other receivables is an amount of £190,000 (2021: £190,000) as at 30 June 2022 in respect of unpaid ordinary share capital issued on 3 June 2021. The Directors believe that the amount will be recovered in full and therefore have not recognised any impairment to the carrying value of this amount.

Valuation of exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation costs have a carrying value of 30 June 2022 of £78,694 (2021: £30,679). Such assets have an indefinite useful life as the Group has the right to renew exploration licenses or options and the asset is only amortised once extraction of the resource commences. The value of the Group's exploration and evaluation expenditure will be dependent upon the success of the Group in discovering economic and recoverable resources, especially in the countries of operation where political, economic, legal, regulatory and social uncertainties are potential risk factors. The future revenue flows relating to these assets is uncertain and will also be affected by competition, relative exchange rates and potential new legislation and related environmental requirements. The Group's ability to continue its exploration programs and develop its projects is dependent on future fundraisings and utilising the Crescita Capital LLC drawdown facility. The ability of the Group to continue operating within some of the jurisdictions contemplated by management is dependent on a stable political environment which is uncertain based on the history of the country. This may also impact the Group's legal title to assets held which would affect the valuation of such assets. There have been no changes made to any past assumptions.

The Directors have undertaken a review to assess whether circumstances exist which could indicate the existence of impairment as follows:

•  The Group no longer has title to mineral leases.

•  A decision has been taken by the Board to discontinue exploration due to the absence of a commercial level of reserves.

• Sufficient data exists to indicate that the costs incurred will not be fully recovered from future development and participation.

Following their assessment, the Directors concluded that no impairment charge is necessary (2021: Nil).

12  Financial Instruments by Category

General objectives, policies and processes

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group's finance function. The Board receives monthly reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility.

The Group reports in Sterling. Internal and external funding requirements and financial risks are managed based on policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, interest rate and currency swaps or similar instruments. The Group does not issue or use financial instruments of a speculative nature.

Capital management

The Group's objectives when maintaining capital are:

· to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and

· to provide an adequate return to shareholders.

The capital structure of the Group consists of total shareholders' equity as set out in the 'Statement of Changes in Equity'. All working capital requirements are financed from existing cash resources and the Crescita draw down facility.

Capital is managed on a day to day basis to ensure that all entities in the Group are able to operate as a going concern.  Operating cash flow is primarily used to cover the overhead costs associated with operating as London Standard-listed company.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Directors consider that there is no significant liquidity risk faced by the Group. The Group maintains sufficient balances in cash to pay accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Board receives forward looking cash flow projections at periodic intervals during the year as well as information regarding cash balances. At the balance sheet date the Group had cash balances of £310,578 and the financial forecasts indicated that the Group expected to draw down on the Crescita Capital LLC facility to meet its obligations under all reasonably expected circumstances and will not need to establish overdraft or other borrowing facilities.

Interest rate risk

As the Group has no borrowings, it only has limited interest rate risk. The impact is on income and operating cash flow and arises from changes in market interest rates. Cash resources are held in current, floating rate accounts.

Market risk

Market price risk arises from uncertainty about the future valuations of financial instruments held in accordance with the Group's investment objectives. These future valuations are determined by many factors but include the operational and financial performance of the underlying investee companies, as well as market perceptions of the future of the economy and its impact upon the economic environment in which these companies operate. This risk represents the potential loss that the Group might suffer through holding its financial investment portfolio in the face of market movements, which was a maximum of £2,069,302 (2021: £4,353,318).

The investments in equity of quoted companies that the Group holds are less frequently traded than shares in more widely traded securities. Consequently, the valuations of these investments can be more volatile.

Market price risk sensitivity

The table below shows the impact on the return and net assets of the Group if there were to be a 20% movement in overall share prices of the financial investments held at 30 June 2022.

	2022	2021
	Other comprehensive income and Net assets	Other comprehensive income and Net assets
	£	£
Decrease if overall share price falls by 20%, with all other variables held constant	(2,367,554)	(870,664)
Decrease in other comprehensive earnings and net asset value per Ordinary share (in pence)	(0.0049)p	(0.009)p
Increase if overall share price rises by 20%, with all other variables held constant	2,367,554	870,664
Increase in other comprehensive earnings and net asset value per Ordinary share (in pence)	0.0049p	0.009p

The impact of a change of 20% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of volatility observed and assumes a market value is attainable for the Group's unlisted investments.

Currency risk

The Directors consider that there is minimal significant currency risk faced by the Group. The current foreign currency transactions the Group enters are denominated in CAD$ and USD$ in relation to transactions associated with exploration and evaluation option payments and property expenditures. The Group maintains minimal foreign currency holdings to minimize this risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Group. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is:

	2022	2021
	£	£
Cash at bank	310,578	1,277,617
Other receivables	1,160,633	522,230
Convertible debenture receivable	1,657,900	-
	3,129,111	1,799,847

The Group's cash balances are held in accounts with HSBC, BLK.FX, Bank of Montreal and with its Investment Broker accounts.

On the 14 May 2022, the Group granted a convertible debenture to G2 Technologies Corp. worth a total of $2,000,000 (£1,657,900).

21  Income tax expense

No charge to taxation arises due to the losses incurred.

The tax on the Group's loss before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to the losses of the consolidated entities as follows:

			Group
			Year ended 30 June 2022 £		Year ended 30 June 2021 £
Loss before tax			(5,557,029)		(902,060)
	Tax at the applicable rate of 17% (2021: 22.5%)	(944,695)		(202,964)
Effects of:
Expenditure not deductible for tax purposes			8,181		16,693
Net tax effect of losses carried forward			936,514		186,271
Tax (charge)/refund			-		-

The weighted average applicable tax rate of 17 % (2021: 22.50 %) used is a combination of the 19% standard rate of corporation tax in the UK and 15% Canadian corporation tax.

The Company has tax losses of approximately £2,130,164 (2021: £1,193,650) available to carry forward against future taxable profits. No deferred tax asset has been recognised on accumulated tax losses because of uncertainty over the timing of future taxable profits against which the losses may be offset

As set out in Note, the Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset in the financial statements as there is no certainty that taxable profits will be available against which these assets could be utilised.  

22  Earnings per share

Group

The calculation of the basic loss per share of £0.01 (2021: £0.85) is based on the loss the loss attributable to equity owners of the group of £5,697,030 (2021: loss of £902,060), and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 428,042,226 (2021: 105,829,101) In issue during the period.

In accordance with IAS 33, no diluted earnings per share is presented as the effect on the exercise of share options or warrants would be to decrease the loss per share.

Details of share options and warrants that could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods are set out in Note 13.
