DIRECTORS' STATEMENT
I am pleased to present our first Interim Report for the six months to 31 March 2021 following the Company's recent IPO and Listing on the LSE on the 14 April 2021 ('the Listing'). We raised £5.54 million through a placing of 47,150,000 Ordinary Shares (representing 25% of the Company's issued share capital on Admission) at 12.5 pence each to institutional and retail investors to fund our aggressive expansion plans in the UK Reserve Energy market.
The Company's main activities during the reporting period covered the preparatory work for the Listing and comprised corporate structuring of the Mast Group, negotiating agreements for the acquisition of reserve energy sites, marketing to investors and prospectus preparation. We also focussed on a rigorous review and evaluation of our available pipeline of sites to ensure successful and timely delivery of the business strategy stated in the Company Prospectus. I outline below the latest progress with our initial project, Bordersley ('Target 1') and the two additional projects on which acquisition and lease agreement heads of terms respectively were executed during the period ('Targets 2 and 3').
Target 1: Bordersley (5 MW base case with upward optimisation capability of 19.12 MW)
Despite Covid-19 restricting physical access to the site, the Company progressed the Bordersley project by, amongst other development work such as EPC Scope of Works, entering into a 20-year tenancy agreement with two 5-year extension periods with the landlord. This term is synchronous with gas reciprocating engine life expectancy and optimises commercial and technical outcomes.
The Company has now obtained an updated EPC Scope of Works ('SoW') proposal from Clark Energy Ltd ('Clarke Energy', preferred EPC provider for MAST) commensurate with updated and amended site specifications. The principal updates to the SoW are:
· Reconfiguration of the gas reciprocating engine combination reduced the combined power pack to two engines from the original three. The two generators will provide a total installed generation capacity of 5,352 kW and will deliver a minimum net export capacity of 5.2 MW.
· The optimised number of units provide clear benefits with regards to capital cost of equipment, site installation time/cost and operations & maintenance costs. This will also leave sufficient redundant surface area to create an opportunity for future installation of a third generator, thereby increasing the electricity export capacity from the current 5 MW to a potential 7.5 MW with commensurate increase in revenue, due to higher electricity sales, of c. GBP12, 500 p/m.
· The delivery lead time for the selected generation equipment has been optimised to 22 weeks from the original 26.
· Clarke Energy:
Ø Clarke Energy will assume the roles of Principal Contractor and Principal Designer under the CDM Regulations and will include the necessary site facilities during the construction and installation works.
Ø As part of the EPC Scope, Clarke Energy shall be responsible for the connection of natural gas supply downstream from the new gas metering kiosk through to each engine, provision of the civil engineering works and compound construction.
· Finance
Ø The "all in" EPC SoW fee proposal is £ c. 2,900,000 vs the previously reported £ 2,800,000 and is due to the inclusion of an exhaust stack, civil engineering works, compound construction and the connection of the natural gas supply to the engines. These items were previously costed in the "Balance of Plant" budget, but now included in the EPC SoW.
Ø Debt financing at 65% of project capex currently being negotiated with a blue-chip financier at very competitive commercial terms.
· Construction
Ø MAST and Clarke are currently in the process of executing the EPC-agreement and it is expected that construction will commence during June 2021. This timeline is consistent with the indicative timelines stated in the Prospectus.
Bordersley now has numerous optimisation options to develop as a RP generation hub by virtue of shared infra-structure with Target 2, power generation off-take by proxy sales and economy of scale due to two close-by RP sites totalling 14.12 MW of generating capacity which culminates in EPC and Balance of Plant economy of scale project costs and timelines. The updated EPC and SoW proposals outlined above will enable the Company to assess final project capital costs and to report on the final timeline to commence construction and ultimately commissioning and steady state production during this year.
Target 2: Site capacity 9 MW
During the period leading up to and subsequent to the listing of the Company, the board and management advanced the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) for the acquisition of the Target 2 site to signature ready status and we expect this to be finalised imminently. As previously announced this site has instantaneous revenue creation capability with Blue Chip Original Manufacturer gas reciprocating engines in situ, connected to both live gas and grid connections. Two of the engines are currently being operated and tested at various load conditions with the third to follow suit.
Inking the SPA will be a milestone in the development of MAST's portfolio as it will trigger an immediate phased in approach to operate the engines on load with 24/7 availability (subject to planned maintenance) and be synchronous with the terms of the power off-take agreement. The engines will be installed as to rapidly achieve steady state status, thus creating instantaneous revenue which in turn will bolster the financial health of the Working Capital Budget.
MAST expect GBP 42,500 per month in revenue from this site as soon as the full site achieves steady state production.
Target 3: West Midlands-Birmingham Rd 6 MW - update
The Target 3 site already has planning consent with the capability to be developed as a RP Gas Reciprocating facility, a hybrid RP and battery site or preferably as a long duration battery storage site due to its unique location with access to both DNO and Private Wire. Commercial and technical solution timelines are currently being evaluated in line with the 6 months option agreement which will enable site construction and commercial commissioning within 10 months.
Pending final execution of agreements on Targets 2 and 3, we are prevented from disclosing vendor/lessee, exact location and other details for these sites but they, along with Bordersley will form an initial nucleus from which we plan to expand our site portfolio to 40 - 50 MW production capacity over the next 12 months and 300 MW within the next 36 months.
The scale and pace at which we are expanding our RP site portfolio is facilitated by an existing off-take agreement framework agreed with leading renewable energy management and energy trading company Stakraft Markets GmbH (Statkraft). An off-take agreement for the Bordersley site has already been finalised and guarantees a floor price for the power generated. Similar off-take agreements will be negotiated for the other sites within the framework agreement concluded with Statkraft. Currently we are negotiating to procure two additional sites, one with a generating capacity range of 3.6 to 4.4 MW that is already fully operational and revenue generating and a second associated site with a generating capacity range of 16.2 to 19.8 MW which we are considering for incorporation in the second phase of the Company's site roll-out strategy.
The opportunity to develop a business based on these small gas-fired generating plants is as a result of the increasing renewable energy dependent UK electricity grid, particularly in relation to wind generation. The demand for small stand-by, rapid start-up flexible power generation to support drops in base load power has become more acute in recent years and of particular note was the blackout in 2019, and we anticipate the market to continue to grow commensurate with the continued transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources in powering the national grid.
We believe that as an early entrant in this market we are well positioned to rapidly grow our business and I look forward to keeping you updated as we progress.

Overall trading performance for the six months ended 31 March 2021
Group revenue is £Nil for the six-month period ended 31 March 2021. The first project in the UK RP market is expected to come on stream imminently from which the Group expects to commence generating revenue.
Loss before taxation of £510,058 for the six months ended 31 March 2021 resulting in an increase of £301,271 from the comparable six-month period ended 31 March 2020, stems from an increase in the project and listing expenditure during the period to end March 2021.
The liquidity position of the group has increased significantly subsequent to March 2021, due to the successful IPO resulting in a capital raising of £5.54m.
There have been no dividends declared or paid during the current financial period (2020: £ Nil).

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTH ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Note 1: General information
MAST Energy Developments PLC ('MAST' or the 'Company') is incorporated in England & Wales as a public limited company. The Company's registered office is located at Salisbury House, London Wall, London EC2M 5PS.
The principal activity of MAST, through its subsidiaries (together the 'Group'), is to acquire and develop a portfolio of flexible power plants in the UK and become a multi-asset operator in the rapidly growing Reserve Power ('RP') market.
The Group has acquired its first site which will comprise a 5MW gas-fuelled power generation plant supported by a Grid Connection Offer and a Gas Connection Offer. The second site acquired has immediate phased in approach to operate the engines on load with 24/7 availability (subject to planned maintenance) to be synchronous with the terms of the power off-take agreement, and be installed as operational in steady state status.
The third site acquired has planning consent with the capability to be developed as a RP Gas Reciprocating facility, a hybrid RP and battery site or preferably as a long duration battery storage site due to its unique location with access to both District Network Operator ("DNO") and Private Wire.
Note 2: Basis of Preparation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated. The Group's accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 of the ultimate holding Company, except for the adoption of new or amended standards applicable from 1 January 2021, which had no material impact on the financial statements of the Group.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in compliance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IAS 34, IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The consolidated financial information of the Group is presented in Pounds Sterling, which is the functional and presentation currency for the Group and its related subsidiaries.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not represent statutory accounts within the meaning of section 435 of the Companies Act 2016.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors, thus no assurance is provided therein.
The Directors acknowledge they are responsible for the fair presentation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Note 3: Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
On 14 September 2020, the Company became the legal parent of Sloane Developments Limited following completion of the Acquisition. The comparative results for the year ended 31 December 2020 and for the six-month period ended 31 March 2020 represent the consolidated position of Sloane Developments Limited and its Subsidiaries (the 'Sloane SubGroup') prior to the Acquisition.
The Acquisition of the Sloane SubGroup by MAST Energy Developments PLC is deemed to be outside the scope of IFRS 3 and not considered a business combination as the Acquisition is seen as a common control transaction, following from the fact that Kibo Energy PLC continues to retain control over the Sloane SubGroup subsequent to the disposal of the Sloane SubGroup to MAST Energy Developments PLC.
On this basis, the Directors have developed an accounting policy for the Acquisition, applying the principles set out in IAS 8.10-12, in that the policy adopted is:
· relevant to the users of the financial information;
· more representative of the financial position, performance and cash flows of the Group;
· reflects the economic substance of the transaction, not merely the legal form; and
· free from bias, prudent and complete in all material aspects.
As MAST Energy Developments PLC is only an investment holding company, incorporated for the purposes of raising capital funding for its investee projects, and the majority shareholder before and after the Acquisition continues to be Kibo Energy PLC, the transaction is considered to be a common control transaction, outside the scope of IFRS 3, seen as a capital reorganisation, where predecessor valuation accounting was applied with regard to the incorporation of historic financial information.
Accordingly, the following accounting treatment and terminology has been applied in respect of the Acquisition:
· the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary the Sloane SubGroup are recognised and measured in the Group financial statements at the pre-combination carrying amounts, without reinstatement to fair value;
· the retained earnings recognised in the Group financial statements reflect the retained earnings of the Sloane SubGroup immediately before the Acquisition, and the results of the period from 1 October 2019 to the date of the Acquisition, being 14 September 2020, are those of the Sloane SubGroup.
· However, the equity structure appearing in the Group financial statements reflects the equity structure of the legal parent (MAST Energy Developments PLC), including the equity instruments issued under the share for share exchange to effect the Acquisition.
Note 4: Going concern
The Company currently generates no revenue and had net liabilities of £413,421 as at 31 March 2021.
After reviewing the Group's financial projections, the directors of the Company (the 'Directors') have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
For this reason, they adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Group Financial Information.
This expectation is based on the £1.04 million oversubscribed placing raised during April 2021.
Note 5: Loss per share
The calculation of loss per share is based on the following loss and number of shares:
| 31 March 2021 | 31 March 2020 | 31 December 2020 |
| £ | £ | £ |
Profit/(loss) for the period from continuing operations | (413,343) | (145,683) | (502,194) |
Weighted Average basic and diluted number of shares | 104 496 960 | 104 496 960 | 104 496 960 |
Basic and diluted Earnings/(loss) per share (pence) | (0.40) | (0.14) | (0.48) |
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share on the basis that the current issued ordinary shares in issue have always been in place.
The Group has no dilutive instruments in issue, thus the dilutive loss per share equals the basic loss per share.
