CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders,
I have pleasure in presenting the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts of Georgina Energy Plc (the “Company” or “Georgina”)
formerly known as Mining Metals and Minerals Plc (“MMM”).
On 30 July 2024 the Company successfully completed the reverse takeover of Georgina Production Ltd formerly known as
Georgina Energy Plc, raising gross proceeds of £5.0 million and was readmitted to the London Stock Exchange adopting the
name of the target company. The listing code of the Company was changed to GEX.
Georgina Production ltd is an early-stage resource company with a strategy of actively pursuing the exploration, commercial
development and monetisation of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon interests located in the Amadeus and Officer Basins
in Northern and Western Australia.
Over the past twelve months, we have continued to advance our exploration strategy with focus, discipline, and a clear
commitment to delivering long-term shareholder value in a challenging and rapidly evolving energy landscape.
Strategic Progress
Georgina Production Ltd is still at the pre-revenue stage of its lifecycle, but 2025 has been a year of meaningful progress in
laying the foundation for future value creation. Our technical teams have made strong headway in de-risking our high-
potential gas assets in Western Australia, with seismic interpretation, geotechnical analysis, and environmental studies
moving us closer to drill-ready status and towards obtaining the exploration licence in the Northern Territories.
Traditional gas suppliers invest significantly in infrastructure to extract and store gas resources. Georgina’s key difference is
to sell its gas from the well head having executed a non-binding off-take agreement. The sale of raw gas at the well head
would mitigate infrastructure cost exposure, which become the responsibility of the Off taker.
Post period end the Company successfully agreed terms to acquire 100% of the share capital of the company holding with a
100% working interest in MT Winter EPA 155, paid the required deposit post year end and is now subject to completion.
A resource upgrade study was commissioned for Hussar EP513, resulting in an overall increase of approximately 20% across
the main commodities; BCFG 196 Helium, BCFG 218 Hydrogen and BCFG 2,030 Hydrocarbons. This increase has also
resulted in an increase in the exploration footprint of approximately 50km2 (refer RNS dated 17 October 2024 and 10
January 2025).
Further works were conducted at Hussar with a scoping study completed by an Independent qualified consulting group
which confirms the viability of a commercial gas field development at Hussar, capable of producing helium, hydrogen, LNG
and argon.
The Company has completed initial site operations at Hussar and is currently completing its various reporting obligations
including but not limited to the Environmental Impact Study (EIS2) to seek drilling approval.
Financial Stewardship
As a pre-revenue company, maintaining financial discipline is paramount. Throughout the period, we managed our capital
prudently, ensuring that funds were deployed effectively to advance core technical and regulatory workstreams while
keeping our cost base lean.
At period-end, the Group held a cash balance of £1.2 million, following a successful capital raise in July 2024, which was
strongly supported by both institutional and retail investors. This funding has provided the resources necessary to progress
our planned drilling program and maintain momentum through 2025.
Market Position and Outlook
We remain confident in the long-term demand for natural gas, particularly as a key enabler of energy transition in both
domestic and regional markets. Our asset portfolio is strategically located in a region with supportive infrastructure and
growing demand, offering a strong potential pathway to commercialization.
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report

Looking ahead, our primary focus is on delivering our maiden drilling campaign at Hussar — a key milestone that could
unlock significant value. Discussions with potential off-take parties continue to progress, and we remain open to strategic
partnerships that can accelerate our path to development while managing risk and capital exposure.
Governance and ESG Commitment
We are committed to high standards of corporate governance, transparency, and environmental responsibility. During the
period, we began implementing frameworks that will support responsible operations as we transition from exploration to
development.
In all our activities, we engage respectfully with local communities and stakeholders, ensuring that our presence brings
shared value and long-term benefit to host regions.
Closing Remarks
While we have not yet achieved commercial production, we are steadily building the foundations of a company capable of
delivering long-term value in a low-carbon future. I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued belief in our
vision, our partners for their collaboration, and our dedicated team for their resilience and commitment.
2025/26 financial year will be pivotal for Georgina Energy, and I look forward to updating you on our progress as we take
the next steps in our journey.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Overview
The objective of the strategic report is to provide information for the shareholders and help them to assess how the directors
have performed their duty, under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, to promote the success of the company and to
provide context for the related financial statements.
Section 172(1) Statement – Promotion of the Group for the benefit of the members as a whole.
The duty of a director, as set out in section 172 of the Act, is to act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most
likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members, and in doing so have regard (amongst other
matters) to:
(a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
(b) the interests of the company's employees;
(c) the need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
(d) the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment;
(e) the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
(f) the need to act fairly as between members of the company.
The pre-revenue 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 London
Stock Exchange regulations.
The specific requirements of s172 are expanded below, along with the approach adopted by the Directors to ensure they
meet these requirements:
Consider the likely consequences of any decision in the long term
The Company is a recently formed group having relisted after an RTO on 30 July 2024 with a mixture of advanced and earlier
stage hydrocarbon exploration projects. Its objective is to become a supplier of helium, hydrogen and natural gas, which will
necessarily take time to develop and build. Therefore, the aims and vision of the Directors are necessarily based around long-
term consequences.
Act fairly between the members of the Company
The Company’s largest shareholder is Westmarket Corporation Pty Ltd (“Westmarket”), which is represented on the Board
by Anthony Hamilton and Mark Wallace as Managing Director and Director Finance respectively. Westmarket and the other
shareholders are aligned in their interest to create long-term value for the Company, however to the extent that there are
matters that bring Westmarket’s interests into potential conflict with other members, decision-making is reserved in specific
circumstances to the Non-Executive Chairman (Peter Bradley) and Non-Executive Director (Roy Pitchford) and Executive
Director (John Heugh), who together constitute in any case a majority of the Board.
Maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct
As part of its re-admission to the London Stock Exchange (LSE) process in 2024, the Company established a number of policies
and procedures around its business practices, including anti-bribery, whistle-blowing, and anti-tax evasion. The Company has
elected not to follow the QCA Corporate Governance Code due to it being in the early stage of its exploration program.
The
Directors are of the of the view that the current corporate governance provisions are suitable for a Group in its current state
of development and is committed to revisiting this assessment as the group continues to grow and develop its operations.
Consider the interests of the Company’s employees
The Company is in its early stages and does not have any employees other than the board of Directors. It is committed to the
fair and ethical treatment of all of its staff.
Foster the Company’s relationships with suppliers, customers, and others
In order to progress its projects in Australia, the Company is reliant on the support of its key suppliers (drilling Contractors,
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report

engineers, logistics and transport providers, environmental and other consultants, and suppliers of local equipment and
materials). In many of these areas, the Company competes with other mining and hydrocarbon related companies, and it is
therefore a key part of the Company’s operating model to secure and maintain strong ties with suppliers, which it undertakes
through regular exchanges relating to current and future planned workstreams. As yet the Company has no customers, but
when it reaches a stage closer to production, one or more off-take agreements will be required with long-term partners.
Consider the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment.
High environmental standards are required of hydrocarbon companies in Australia. The Company is committed to ensuring
that its operations not only are of benefit to local economies and communities, but that they do not harm the local
environment. Being a future supplier of hydrocarbon products also means that the Group has a wider environmental
dimension to consider, with investors and end users in energy and technology being more likely to expect high environmental
and social standards throughout the supply chain. The combination of these factors’ places ESG at the heart of Georgina’s
strategy.
The application of the s172 requirements can be further demonstrated in relation to the some of the key operational
decisions made during 2024 and after the year end:
Hussar
o
Entered into indigenous agreements through direct interaction
o
Increase the resource estimates of the tenement
o
Entered into Heritage agreements with traditional land owners
o
The appointment of Aztech Engineers for the purposes of designing the well-development site
o
Engaging environmental consultant (Low Ecological Services) to ensure that the Company complies
with local, State and Federal legislation
Mt Winter
o
Entered into indigenous agreements through direct interaction
o
Increase the resource estimates of the tenement
o
Engaging environmental consultant to ensure that the Company complies with local, State and Federal
legislation
Review of the Company’s Business
The Company was successfully readmitted to the London Stock Exchange main market on 30 July 2024 with a capital raise of
£5.0 million in gross funds. The funds are to be applied to the advancement of the helium, hydrogen and natural gas assets
held by the Company
Georgina Energy has two projects; Hussar EP513 located in the Officer Basin of Western Australia and Mt Winter EPA155
located in the Amadeus Basin of Australia’s Northern Territory.
Hussar
The key operational milestones that were achieved at EP513 includes:
Due to improved technological methods and collation of more data, a resource evaluation was undertaken by an
independent competent person subsequently publishing a report that reflected a significant increase in resource
estimates across Hussar for helium, hydrogen and natural gas of approximately 20%.

The Company completed a site & airstrip inspection, preliminary engineering, and environmental survey with the
traditional landowners addressing heritage matters; a requirement of the drill permit granting process from
DEMIRS.
A project scoping study was finalised by an independent consultant to assist potential off-takers with their final
investment decision. The study confirmed:
o
Project viability: The study confirms the potential for a commercial gas field development at Hussar,
capable of producing helium, hydrogen, LNG, and argon.
o
Strong financials: A 40MMscfd raw gas flow scenario generates an IRR of 27.3% and an NPV of US$1.64
billion (10% discount rate).
o
Revenue potential: Pre-tax profits estimated between US$7.3 million to US$208 million per annum,
depending on production rates and gas prices.
o
Capital Expenditure (Capex): US$1.13 billion (for a 40MMscf/day separation plant),
Mt Winter
The key operational milestones that were achieved at EPA155 include:
The Company announced on 20 February 2025 that it had reached an agreement to acquire 100% of working
interest in EPA155 (Mt Winter) held by Mosman Oil & Gas plc (“Mosman”) subsidiary Oilco Pty Ltd, subject to the
execution of formal Contracts of Sale. Details of the purchase are:
o
The purchase consideration for the deal is AU$350,000
o
Georgina is entitled to 100% of the returns from any future production, less a modest 2.5% royalty to
Mosman.
o
Additional production royalties will include 10% of sales receipts, less certain deductions, to the Northern
Territory Government under the Petroleum Royalty Act 2023 NT, and c.3-4% (negotiable) on the same
basis to the Central Land Council, benefiting the relevant Traditional Owners.
o
Upon the granting of an exploration permit, and in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement
between Oilco and Westmarket Oil and Gas, the Company's 100% interest will be registered. The
Company will then proceed with the planned seismic reprocessing and remapping prior to submission of
an application for drilling approval for the Mt Winter 1 re-entry
The deal allows Georgina to continue as planned with preparations ahead of being granted the exploration permit for Mt
Winter
EPA155 is in "good standing" and currently awaiting the approval of the Aboriginal Land Right Agreement (ALRA) being
drafted by the Central Land Council.
Once the ALRA has been executed it will be submitted to the Northern Territory Minister for Mines for the granting of the
Exploration License; thereby if approved by the Minister the Exploration Permit Application (EPA155) will become an
Exploration Permit (i.e. an "EP")
Financing of the Company
In pursuit of its goals, the Company Directors will seek to minimise costs expended on professional, advisory, and
administrative fees. Additionally, the Company has the ability to meet its stated near-term objectives with current cash
reserves.
Key Performance Indicators
The Georgina Group was formed on 30 July 2024 with the reverse takeover of MMM by Georgina Production Ltd (formerly
known as Georgina Energy Plc). Its hydrocarbon projects were previously owned by Georgina Production Ltd’s (“GPL”) wholly
owned subsidiary Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd (“WMOG”) and now the combined Group’s assessment of progress in the
development of these projects remains in line with WMOG’s own initial pre-transaction assessments.
Each of the projects is unique and has its own exploration and development requirements, however common to all is the
need to set out a programme of work (including field exploration, environmental studies, gas-flow test-work, gas separation
and processing and infrastructure and feasibility studies). The performance of the Company is primarily based on the progress
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report

of these programmes against expectations, measured in terms of cost, timing, and objectives achieved.
In addition, the Company has a corporate and administrative function, responsible for providing technical support to the
projects, as well as setting strategic objectives and monitoring progress. The corporate function also provides support services
such as finance, treasury, HR, investor relations and taxation. The assessment of the corporate function is based on managing
cost, ensuring compliance with various regulatory requirements, and effective external communication.
Simple KPIs for the projects and its support functions therefore include cash expenditure and cash balances compared with
forecast, and progress against milestones. These require regular review against deadlines and budgets.
The Directors track the following as the Company's key performance indicators (“KPls”):
Work program committed at Hussar and Mt Winter
Administrative expenses
Cash holdings
The Company's accounting systems track performance on a monthly basis in particular focusing on working capital needs.
These KPls will be refined and augmented as the Company's business develops. In the future the Directors expect the KPls to
focus on revenue generation and the growth of the resource and reserves of the Company.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Directors consider the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group and a summary of the key measures taken to
mitigate those risks are as follows:
Financial risks
The effective management of its financial exposures is central to preserving the Company's performance. The Company is
exposed to financial market risks and may be impacted negatively by fluctuations in general capital market sentiment and
cyclicality. These factors may create volatility in the Company's results to the extent that they are not effectively hedged.
The Company's outsourced finance team provides support to the board to ensure accurate financial reporting and tracking
of business performance. Reporting on financial performance is provided on a regular basis to the Board.
Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements details other financial risks and associated mitigation processes namely
credit, liquidity and foreign currency risk.
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its
commercial obligations. Credit risk is managed by ensuring that funds are deposited with financial institutions
with a credit rating equivalent to, or above, the main UK clearing banks.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash such that the Company can ensure it has
adequate resource to discharge all its liabilities. Liquidity risk is managed by management via maintenance and
regular review of cashflow forecasts against existing cash reserves and planned future sources of funding to
ensure any forecast liquidity deficits are addressed in good time with adequate buffers to accommodate
unforeseen circumstances and changes to funding availability.
The Group undertakes transactions in currencies other than its reporting currency, however,
the Group manages
foreign currency risk by forecasting the need for foreign currency to settle planned future transactions and
monitoring trends in the key currency exchange rates to consider whether advance currency purchases are
merited, driven by observed volatility and materiality of transactional currency needs.
The Group does not
engage in any structured foreign currency hedging strategies.
The Board, subject to delegated authority, reviews capital investment, material contracts and expenditure and insurance
arrangements as part of its mitigation strategy for liquidity and counterparty (credit) risk.

Operational risks
The success of the Company's business strategy is dependent on its ability to complete the well redevelopment of Hussar
and Mt Winter (collectively “the projects” or “project”).
The Directors seek to manage these risks by leveraging the experience of the executive team and complementary skill sets
of the non-executive directors to prudently identify, pursue and execute on Acquisition opportunities.
The review of the well targets involves an assessment of the commercial viability and the markets in which the Company
operates in, its business plans and management capabilities.
ln identifying and assessing the future viability of the Company’s objectives, the Board considers the risk profile of the
business, in particular, its financial and commercial viability and suitability for a listed company. The Board consults its
Financial Advisor, legal advisor, geological and technical consultants as well as its broker throughout as a means of mitigating
risk and complying with the listing Rules. Performance is monitored regularly and reported to the Board.
The price of helium is affected by factors beyond the Group’s control. If the Group proceeds with the project, and the market
price of helium decreases significantly for an extended period of time, the ability for the Group to attract finance and
ultimately generate profits could be adversely affected. Numerous external factors and industry factors that are beyond the
control of the Group that affect the price of helium include:
• industrial demand;
• levels of production;
• rapid short term changes in supply and demand because of speculative or hedging activities; and
• global or regional political or economic events.
The price at which the Group can sell any helium it may produce in the future will therefore be relevant to the future revenues
that can be generated by the Group and its ability to finance the Company going forward and any adverse effects on such
price could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial performance, results of operations and
prospects.
The Group may be unable to hire or retain personnel required to support the Group going forward the Group’s ability to
compete depends upon its ability to retain and attract highly qualified management and technical personnel. Following the
completion of the Project to develop wells at Hussar and Mt Winter, the Group will evaluate the personnel and may
determine that it requires increased support to operate and manage the business in accordance with the Group’s overall
business strategy. There can be no assurance that existing personnel of the business will be adequate or qualified to carry
out the Group’s strategy, or that the Group will be able to hire or retain experienced, qualified employees to carry out the
Group’s strategy.
During the development of the Project, the Group may be unable to acquire or renew necessary concessions, licenses,
permits and other authorisations
The Project will require certain concessions, licences, permits and other authorisations to carry out its operations. Any
delay in obtaining or renewing a license, permit or other authorisation may result in a delay in investment or development
of a resource and may have a materially adverse effect on the business’ results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition. In addition, any concessions, licences, permits and other authorisations of the Project may be suspended,
terminated or revoked if it fails to comply with the relevant requirements.
Failure to obtain (and shortages and disruptions in lead times to deliver) certain key inputs may adversely affect the Group’s
operations during the development of the Project
During the development of the Project, the Group’s inability to timely acquire feedstock, strategic consumables, raw
materials, and processing equipment could have an adverse impact on any results of operations and financial condition.
Periods of high demand for supplies can arise when availability of supplies is limited. This can cause costs to increase above
normal inflation rates. Interruption to supplies or increase in costs could adversely affect the operating results and cash flows
of the Group during the development of the Project.

Corporate Social Responsibility
The Company takes its responsibilities as a corporate citizen seriously. The Board’s primary goal is to create shareholder value
but in a responsible manner that serves all stakeholders.
At Georgina, consideration and respect for the environment and local communities is at the heart of what we do and how
we operate. Australia has some of the highest standards for environmental compliance. We endeavour to operate in as
sustainable a manner as possible, including minimising our environmental footprint in the locations in which we operate,
where possible using local materials and contractors for our work, and being as efficient as possible in our use of energy.
Sustainability and ESG are increasingly important not only to the communities in which we operate, but also to our investors,
suppliers, and wider stakeholders.
The Group aims to conduct its business with honesty, integrity and openness, respecting human rights and the interests of
shareholders and employees. The Group aims to provide timely, regular and reliable information on the business to all its
shareholders and conduct its operations to the highest standards.
The Group strives to create a safe and healthy working environment for the wellbeing of its staff and to create a trusting and
respectful environment, where all members of staff are encouraged to feel responsible for the reputation and performance
of the Group.
The Group aims to establish a diverse and dynamic workforce with team players who have the experience and knowledge of
the business operations and markets in which we operate. Through maintaining good communications, members of staff are
encouraged to realise the objectives of the Group and their own potential.
To this end the Company employs as consultants and contractors those individuals and entities operated by Traditional
Landowners that provide services such as equipment hire, vehicle hire, land conservation advice and liaison.
The Company has entered into agreements such as those pursuant to Land Access and Petroleum Exploration Agreement
between Mungarlu Ngurrarankatja Rirraunkaja Aboriginal Corporation and Westmarket Oil and Gas Pty Ltd, allowing access
to the Traditional Owned site EP513 Hussar.
The Company has engaged Low Ecological Services Pty Ltd a specialist service provider to undertake Flora and Fauna Surveys,
Environmental Impact Assessment reporting, Public Environment reporting, Environmental and site Management Plans,
rehabilitation management, environmental Compliance Audits.
Carbon emissions
The Group currently has no trade, and no employees other than the Directors and has one sub-lease office. Therefore, the
Group has minimal carbon emissions and therefore qualifies as low energy user and no further disclosures are made.
Greenhouse gas disclosures
The Company is required to make disclosures under the framework recommended by the Task Force on Climate Related
Disclosures (TCFD). These are designed to help investors and wider stakeholders understand how companies are managing
climate related financial risks,
As the Group remains in the early stages of development without any current physical operations across its portfolio of
projects, it is not practical to obtain and analyse emissions data for the Group operations.
However, given the minor level of
physical operations in the year, and the lack of any plant and minor office space, the carbon footprint and climate change
impact of the Group’s operations are considered to be negligible, and in any event below the 40 MWh threshold prescribed
for detailed emissions disclosures.
As such, the Group does not consider determination of the relevant emissions data be
practical.
Once the Group has commenced the leasing of physical premises across any of its projects, and hence transitioned
into an operating company, it will revisit its position on climate related emissions disclosures accordingly.
Oil & Gas extraction plays a vital part in the economic and social development of Australia’s economy and in this regard it is
likely to be vulnerable to the disruptive and potentially destructive impacts from climate change and extreme weather
events.
The Group, which currently is in the exploration phase, is not aware of current climate-related impediments but
monitors risks and physical impacts in order to implement better plans to prepare for and adapt to risks arising.
There is a wide range of factors that influence the adaption and resilience to climate change. However, at the prospecting
or exploration level, the main risks to our operations are physical factors manifested in acute impacts (severe and short-
term) and chronic impacts (long-term, gradual change). Acute physical risk can be in the form of extreme weather and
weather-related events such as excessive rainfall (during the wet season) or wildfires (during the dry season) while chronic
impacts refer to enduring changes and shifts in, for example, air and land temperatures. Extreme weather conditions may
pose challenges to access to site and lead to delays in exploration activities.
Management conducts its operations in the light of seasonal weather conditions to mitigate risk.
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
10
For the purposes of financial reporting requirements and disclosure, at our current level of operations, climate-related risks
are negligible. Should exploration activities lead to a discovery and hence more permanent, year-round, activities, the Group
will reassess its position with regard to climate-related management.
Growth Strategy and Outlook
The Company’s near-term goals are
1.
Final drilling approval for Hussar
The Company has submitted most of the required documentation to the Western Australian Department of
Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) with the exception of the expanded area Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) which is due to be lodged imminently. DEMIRS is expected to provide formal drilling
approval within some weeks. The expanded EMP was rendered necessary due to recent seismic re-processing
and re-mapping resulting in a considerably increased closure area and consequently far greater volumes of
Prospective Resources becoming available for assessment. This has been detailed in the RNS dated the 17th
October, 2024.
2.
Re-entry of the well target at Hussar
Subject to the formal drilling approval for the re-entry of the Hussar well, long lead items will be ordered and an
appropriate drilling rig and crew will be contracted to effect the re-entry and deepening of the well to the main
target zone, the Townsend Formation. In addition, the potential of fractured basement to host commercial gases
will be tested by drilling beneath the main target zone. Fractured basement reservoirs account for a large
proportion of global petroleum reserves. The Hussar well will be re-entered by drilling out the existing cement
plugs and subject to an independent engineering inspection of casing integrity will be deepened to test the main
target zone(s) by running additional casing strings. Should the independent engineering inspection deem the
existing casing to not be competent, the Company already has several backup sites identified to drill a new test
well or wells.
3.
Well testing at Hussar to determine commercial flow and percentage concentrations of helium and hydrogen
During the drilling process, any gases or fluids entering the mud stream will be analysed by sampling both on-site
and by sending representative samples to independently certified analytical laboratories for the most accurate
testing of the various percentages of different components including helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbons. In
addition, either during or following the drilling of potentially commercial zones, downhole sampling tools will be
run to test sample such zones and to measure reservoir pressure drawdowns to enable accurate calculations of
likely reserves. Finally, after drilling has been completed, potentially commercial zones may be flow tested to the
surface for extended periods of days, weeks and in some cases, months.
4.
Completion of the acquisition of Mt Winter
Once the Central Land Council agrees to a negotiated Aboriginal Land Rights Act Agreement, the Northern
Territory Department of Mines and Energy will grant EP155 hosting the Mt Winter prospect and the acquisition
agreement with Adagio Resources Pty Ltd, the current owners of 100% of the shares of Oilco Pty Ltd will
complete via a final cash payment. The Company, via its wholly owned subsidiary Westmarket Oil and Gas Pty Ltd
will then own 100% of EP 155. This transaction was detailed in the RNS dated the 22nd January 2025.
5.
Drilling approval of Mt Winter
Subject to the granting of the Mt Winter tenement, EP155, the Northern Territory Department of Mining and
Energy (NTDME) will request the Company to submit a detailed Well Management Plan, (WMP), a detailed HSE
safety plan and a comprehensive Environmental Management Plan; subject to approval thereof with any
required additions or modifications, the Company will be issued a formal drilling approval for the Mt Winter well.
This process may take several months following grant.
6.
Planned re-entry to determine presence of commercial gasses and percentage of helium hydrogen and natural
gas.
Subject to the granting of the tenement EP155, long lead items will be ordered and an appropriate drilling rig and
crew will be contracted. Following this, the existing cement plugs will be drilled out and if an independent
engineering review of casing integrity shows the existing casing is competent, the well will be deepened to test
the main target zone, the subsalt Heavitree Formation as well as the potential of fractured basement to host

commercial gases anticipated to be composed of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbons. If the casing on Mt Winter
1, the planned re-entry target well is deemed incompetent, the Company has several backup sites already chosen
to drill a new test well or wells.
Gender analysis
A split of the Directors by gender at the end of the financial year is as follows:
Male – 5 (directors)
Female – 0 (directors)
The Group recognises the need to operate a gender diverse business, however given the current minimal level of Group
operations, and therefore streamlining of the management team, it does not consider it practicable to achieve gender
balance in the Board at the present time. The Board will ensure any future employment expansion takes into account the
necessary diversity requirements and compliance with all employment law.
The Board has experience and sufficient training and qualifications in dealing with such issues to ensure they would meet all
requirements. More detail will be disclosed in the future annual reports once the Company transitions to an operating gas
production company.
Going Concern
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that the Company will
continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities, loans and
commitments in the normal course of business.
The Directors have undertaken cashflow forecasting to determine the funding needs of the Group for a period from 31 May
2025, at which point the Group held approx. £0.43m in cash reserves, to 31 October 2026.
The Group has forecasted cash
outflow over the assessment period totalling to £4.5m (including repayment of CSS Loan and VAT liability) , of which approx.
£1.4m (including VAT liability) is committed at this point in time and undeferrable and £3.1m (including repayment of CSS
Loan) is deferable due to support letter from the lender for extension of tenure and the potential for contract cancellation or
fee waiver should the Group be unable to secure the additional financing required to meet all of its planned corporate and
exploration activity expenditure. The Group has
Consequently, the Directors have determined that the Group and Company remains a going concern over the period of
assessment.
However in order to meet its planned corporate and exploration activity expenditure, additional funding will be
required over the period of assessment.
As a result, there exists a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue
as a going concern.

Corporate Governance Statement
The group has not formally adopted Quoted Company Alliance corporate governance code (the “QCA Code”) as is not
required by statute and due to limited operations and size of the operations and team. However the Group intends to adopt
the code in the future when operations increase and currently tries to adopt best practices based on the size of the
operations and Group.
The Company Articles of Association require all directors to retire by rotation and seek reappointment by the shareholders
at a general meeting every two years.
The Board has a share dealing code that complies with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulations. All
persons discharging management responsibilities (comprising only the Directors) comply with the share dealing
code.
Internal Controls and Risk Management
The Directors are responsible for the Group’s system of internal financial control. Although no system of internal financial
control can provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, the Group’s processes are designed to
provide reasonable assurance that problems are identified on a timely basis and dealt with appropriately and expeditiously.
The Company’s reporting and control processes were put into place at the time of its re-admission to the LSE on 30 July
2024. The Board approved at that time a Financial Position and Prospects Procedures (“FPPP”) document that set out
in detail the system of controls. This system includes a number of checks and controls over expenditures and other areas.
The Group has limited operations and no employees beyond the Board due to being in the early stage of the exploration
value cycle and so has streamlined financial controls in place considered suitable for a Group of this size.
The Board keeps
its systems of financial control under regular review to ensure it remains suitable for purpose and appropriate to the
Group’s size and operations, noting that as operations grow so will the need for more advanced and comprehensive
systems of control.
The Board of Directors reviews the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls in line with the requirement of
the Code. The internal control system is designed to manage the risk of failure to achieve its business objectives. This covers
internal financial and operational controls, compliances and risk management. The Company has necessary procedures in
place for the year under review and up to the date of approval of the Annual Report and financial statements. The Directors
acknowledge their responsibility for the Company’s system of internal controls and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Board
confirms the need for an ongoing process for identification, evaluation and management of significant risks faced by the
Company. The Directors carry out a risk assessment before signing up to any commitments.
Anti-Bribery and Corruption
The Board has adopted an Anti-bribery and Corruption policy. All Board members have read and approved this policy. All
new staff members are required to abide by this policy, as will any third parties in their business relations with the
Company.
Board of Directors
The Group has a Board it believes is well suited for the purposes of implementing its business strategy, combining skill sets
for the assessment of investment and acquisition of royalties and streams in the energy and mining sector.
The Directors are responsible for carrying out the Group’s objectives, implementing its business strategy and conducting its
overall supervision. Acquisition, divestment and other strategic decisions will all be considered and determined by the
Board.
The Board will provide leadership within a framework of prudent and effective controls. The Board will establish the
corporate governance values of the Group and will have overall responsibility for setting the Group’s strategic aims,
defining the business plan and strategy and managing the financial and operational resources of the Group.
The Board aims to hold meetings at least on a quarterly basis and is regularly in contact to discuss prospective
acquisition opportunities.
The Articles of the Company contain express provisions relating to conflicts of interest in line with the Companies
Act 2006.

Committees
The Company has established audit and remuneration committees.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee has responsibility for, among other things, the monitoring of the integrity of the financial statements
of the Company and its Group and the involvement of the Group's auditors in that process. It focuses in particular on
compliance with accounting policies and ensuring that an effective system of external audit and financial control is
maintained, including considering the scope of the annual audit and the extent of the non-audit work undertaken by external
auditors and advising on the appointment of external auditors. The ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving the
annual report and accounts and the half-yearly reports remains with the Board. The Audit Committee will meet at least three
times a year at the appropriate times in the financial reporting and audit cycle.
The members of the Audit Committee are Roy Pitchford, who acts as chairman of the committee, and Peter Bradley.
The Group’s external auditor is PKF Littlejohn LLP commencing for the period ending 31 January 2025. The Audit Committee
closely monitors the level of audit and non-audit services that it provides to the Company and Group.
During the year to 31 January 2025 the Audit Committee considered the following key issues in relation to the Financial
Statements:
Remuneration Committee
The remuneration committee reviews the performance of the Executive Directors and makes recommendations to the Board
on matters relating to their remuneration and terms of employment. The committee also makes recommendations to the
Board on proposals for the granting of share awards and other equity incentives pursuant to any share award scheme or
equity incentive scheme in operation from time to time. The Remuneration Committee will meet at least twice a year.
The members of the Remuneration Committee are Roy Pitchford, who acts as chairman of the committee, and Peter Bradley.
The Remuneration Committee did not meet in the year.
Workforce policies and practices
The Board is responsible for ensuring that workforce policies and practices are consistent with the Group’s values and support
its long-term sustainable success, and that staff are able to raise any matters of concern. The Non-executive Director
designated to engage with the workforce on these matters is Roy Pitchford. Mr Pitchford, and in turn the Board, review the
Issue
Action
Accounting policies
The Committee reviewed and discussed the significant
accounting policies with management and the external
auditor and reached the conclusion that each policy was
appropriate to the Group.
Going concern review
The Committee considered the ability of the Group to
operate as a Going Concern considering cash flow forecasts
for the next 12 months and milestone achievements. It was
determined by the Committee that it was reasonable to
expect that the Group has or will have access to sufficient
funding in order to achieve its 12-month milestone targets
and that it was appropriate for the Financial Statements to
be prepared on a going concern basis.
Review of audit and non-audit services and fees
The external auditor is not engaged by the Group to carry
out any non-audit work in respect of which it might, in the
future, be required to express an audit opinion.
The Committee reviewed the fees charged for the provision
of audit and non-audit services and determined that they
were in line with fees charged to companies of similar size
and stage of development.
The Committee considered and was satisfied the external
auditor’s assessment of its own independence.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Directors present their report together with the audited financial statements, for the period ended 31 January 2025.
The Company was incorporated on 28 January 2013 in England and Wales, as private company, and it re-registered as a public
limited company on 22 October 2018. The company was subsequently listed on the Main Market for listed securities of the
London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2020. The Company was suspended on 7 October 2021 and readmitted on 30 July 2024.
The Company year-end is 31 January and, at the point of acquisition of the subsidiary companies Georgina Production Limited
and Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd, the subsidiary companies’ year end was 30 April.
As the acquisition of the subsidiaries on
30 July 2024 is considered to be a reverse takeover under the applicable accounting standards, the consolidated financial
statements include the historical performance of the acquired subsidiaries for the period 1 May 2024 to 31 January 2025,
and those of the legal parent for the period from acquisition of 30 July 2024 to 31 January 2025.
The comparative historical
performance in the consolidated financial statements is that of the acquired subsidiaries for the year to 30 April 2024.
As a
result, the performance of the Group for the period to 31 January 2025 is not directly comparable to the prior year due to

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
Directors
The Directors of the Company during the year were as disclosed on page 18 of the Directors’ Report.
Directors’ Remuneration
Directors’ remuneration for the period is disclosed in note 12 to these financial statements.
The Company Remuneration Committee reviews the scale and structure of the Directors’ fees, taking into account the
interests of shareholders and the performance of the Company and directors. The Remuneration Committee did not meet
in the year.
The items included in this report are unaudited unless otherwise stated.
Statement of Georgina Energy plc’s Policy on Directors’ Remuneration by the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee
As Chairman of the Remuneration Committee I am pleased to introduce our Directors’ Remuneration Report. One of the
Remuneration Committee’s aims is to provide clear, transparent remuneration reporting for our shareholders which adheres
to the best practice corporate governance principles that are required for listed organisations.
A key focus of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy is to align the interests of the Directors to the long term interests of the
shareholders and aims to support a high-performance culture with appropriate reward for superior performance, without
creating incentives that will encourage excessive risk taking or unsustainable company performance. This is underpinned
through the implementation and operation of incentive plans.
The key activities of the Remuneration Committee are:
to determine and agree with the Board the framework or broad policy for the remuneration of the Company’s
chairman, chief executive, the executive directors, the company secretary and such other members of the
executive management as it is designated to consider;
in determining such policy, take into account all factors which it deems necessary including relevant legal and
regulatory requirements. The objective of such policy shall be to ensure that members of the executive
management of the Company are provided with appropriate incentives to encourage enhanced performance and
are, in a fair and responsible manner, rewarded for their individual contributions to the success of the Company;
recommend and monitor the level and structure of remuneration for senior management;
when setting remuneration policy for directors, review and have regard to the remuneration trends across the
Company, and review the on-going appropriateness and relevance of the remuneration policy;
obtain reliable, up-to-date information about remuneration in other companies. To help it fulfil its obligations the
Committee shall have full authority to appoint remuneration consultants and to commission or purchase any
reports, surveys or information which it deems necessary, within any budgetary restraints imposed by the Board;
be exclusively responsible for establishing the selection criteria, selecting, appointing and setting the terms of
reference for any remuneration consultants who advise the Committee;
approve the design of, and determine targets for, any performance related pay schemes operated by the
Company and approve the total annual payments made under such schemes;
review the design of all share incentive plans for approval by the Board and shareholders. For any such plans,
determine each year whether awards will be made, and if so, the overall amount of such awards, the individual
awards to executive directors, company secretary and other designated senior executives and the performance
targets to be used;
ensure that contractual terms on termination, and any payments made, are fair to the individual, and the
Company, that failure is not rewarded and that the duty to mitigate loss is fully recognised; and
oversee any major changes in employee benefits structures throughout the Company.

Remuneration Components
The Company remunerates directors in line with best market practice in the industry in which it operates. The components

consist of:
Base salaries
Pension and other benefits
Annual bonus
Share incentive arrangements
The Executive Directors has entered into a service agreement with the Company and the Non-Executive Directors have
entered into letters of appointment with the Company.
All such contracts impose certain restrictions as regards the use of confidential information and intellectual property and the

Other Matters
The Company does not currently have any annual or long-term incentive schemes or any other scheme interests in place for
any of the Directors.
Recruitment Policy
Base salary levels will take into account market data for the relevant role, internal relativities, their individual experience and
their current base salary. Where an individual is recruited at below market norms, they may be re-aligned over time (e.g. two
to three years), subject to performance in the role. Benefits will generally be in accordance with the approved policy.
For external and internal appointments, the Board may agree that the Company will meet certain relocation and/or incidental
expenses as appropriate.
Payment for Loss of Office
The Committee will honour Executive Directors’ contractual entitlements. Service contracts do not contain liquidated
damages clauses. If a contract is to be terminated, the Committee will determine such mitigation as it considers fair and
reasonable in each case. There is no agreement between the Company and its Executive Directors or employees, providing
for compensation for loss of office or employment that occurs because of a takeover bid.
The Committee reserves the right to make additional payments where such payments are made in good faith in discharge of
an existing legal obligation (or by way of damages for breach of such an obligation); or by way of settlement or compromise
of any claim arising in connection with the termination of an Executive Director’s office or employment.
Service Agreements and Letters of Appointment
The Executive Directors’ service agreement had an initial term of two years and may subsequently be terminated by the
Company or the Executive Director by giving notice.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GEORGINA ENERGY PLC
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Georgina Energy Plc (the ‘parent company’ or ‘company’) and its subsidiaries (the
‘group’) for the period ended 31 January 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income,
the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows, the Company Statement of Financial Position,
the Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement
of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework
that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UK-adopted international accounting standards and as regards the
parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion:
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 31
January 2025 and of the group’s loss for the period then ended;
the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting
standards;
the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international
accounting standards and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest
entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the group and parent company is at present reliant
on the continued support of its directors and lenders, which has been confirmed, as well as the support of other external creditors
in not seeking immediate repayment of liabilities due in the ordinary course of business. There is a need to secure further financing
in order to continue to progress the exploration projects and to meet its ongoing working capital needs as they fall due.
Whilst, based on the positive results from the initial exploration activities to date, successful fundraises and continued support
from directors, lenders and creditors in the past, management is confident that they can secure the required funding, there is no
guarantee that such funding would be secured within the required timelines. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions indicate
that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group’s and parent company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the
preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
27
Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the group’s and parent company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting included:
reviewing management’s assessment of going concern and discussing with management the future strategic plans of the
group and sources of funding that are expected to be available, as well as available paths for cash preservation;
reviewing management-prepared cash flow forecasts up to 31 October 2026, including confirmation of mathematical
accuracy, and assessing their reasonableness through reference to current period actual financial information;
obtaining corroborative evidence for, and providing appropriate challenge to, the key assumptions and inputs used in
the cashflow forecast;
reviewing stress testing of the cash flow forecast prepared by management based on reasonably possible scenarios;
reviewing the adequacy and completeness of disclosures surrounding going concern in the financial statements; and
reviewing and corroborating post balance sheet events in relation to the group’s and parent company’s ability to raise
funds and any impact on the assumptions used in the forecast.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of
this report
.
Our application of materiality
For the purposes of determining whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, we define materiality as a
magnitude of misstatement, including omission, that makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable
person, relying on the financial statements, would be changed, or influenced. We have also considered those misstatements
including omissions that would be material by nature and would impact the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable
person based on our understanding of the business, industry and complexity involved.
We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and throughout the course of audit, and in evaluating the effect of
misstatements. Materiality is used to determine the financial statements areas that are included within the scope of our audit and
the extent of sample sizes during the audit.
We also determine a level of performance materiality which we use to assess the extent of testing needed to reduce to an
appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for
the financial statements as a whole.
The materiality applied to the group financial statements was set at £63,900. This was calculated based on 2% of net assets as per
the draft group financial statements. The benchmark used is the one which we determined, in our professional judgment, to be
the principal benchmark within the group financial statements relevant to shareholders of the group in assessing financial
performance of the group as the focus is on the net investment in the business driving the exploration activities.
The materiality applied to the parent company financial statements was set at £37,700. This was initially calculated based on 2%
of net assets as per the draft parent company financial statements but limited to 59% of group materiality due to audit aggregation
risk.
The performance materiality for the group financial statements was set at £44,000 and the parent company financial statements
was set at £26,400 being 70% of materiality for the financial statements as a whole respectively. The threshold was considered
appropriate in light of the current size and level of complexity of the group and the parent company, and our assessment of inherent
risk.
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
28
In determining materiality and performance materiality, we considered the following factors:
our cumulative knowledge of the group and parent company and their environment;
the change in the level of judgement required in respect of the key accounting estimates;
significant transactions during the period;
the stability in key management personnel; and
the level of misstatements identified in prior periods.
For each component in the scope of our group audit, we allocated a performance materiality based on the relative significance of
each component to the group and aggregation risk. The range of performance materiality allocated across components was
between £22,000 and £35,200.
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report on the misstatements identified during our audit above £3,000 for the
group financial statements and £2,640 for the parent company financial statements as well as misstatements below those amounts
that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
Due to audit and management adjustments, the materiality benchmark reduced significantly from that communicated at the
planning stage. As a result, the revised overall group material and parent company material was reduced to £30,000 and £18,000
respectively.
We re-assessed all the areas wherein testing could have been affected by the reduced level of materiality. Based on the assessment,
we were able to determine that the audit evidences obtained through the current audit procedures were sufficient and appropriate
to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our approach to the audit
Our audit was risk based and was designed to focus our efforts on the areas at greatest risk of material misstatement, aspects
subject to significant management judgement as well as greatest complexity, risk and size. In designing our audit, we determined
materiality, as above, and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements. We tailored the scope of our audit
to ensure that we performed sufficient work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements, considering the structure of
the group.
The group includes the listed parent company, Georgina Energy Plc (‘GEP’) in the United Kingdom, and its subsidiaries – Georgina
Production Limited (‘GPL’) in the United Kingdom and Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd (‘WMOG’) in Australia.
The scope of our audit was based on the significance of component’s operations and materiality. Each component was assessed as
to whether they were significant or not to the group by either their size or risk. Based on the assessment, we have undertaken a
full scope audit on all the 3 components.
The group’s key accounting function is based in the United Kingdom and Australia and our audit was performed by our team in
London with regular contact maintained with the group throughout.
In designing our audit approach, we considered those areas which were deemed to involve significant judgement and estimation
by the directors, such as the key audit matter surrounding the recoverability of the carrying value of investments in and advance
to subsidiaries, accounting of reverse takeover and classification and valuation for convertible loan notes. Other judgemental areas
related to management assessment of going concern and the carrying value of value added tax liability. We also addressed the risk
of management override of controls, including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a
risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to
fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the
audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section of our report, we have determined
the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter
How our scope addressed this matter
Carrying value of investment in and advance to subsidiaries (company only) Refer Note C4 and 2
During the period, the parent company made investment in
subsidiaries amounting to £7.19m and provided advance to
subsidiaries amounting to £4.87m to fund working capital
requirement.
The subsidiaries hold an exploration permit for the Hussar
project and right to earn up to 90% of interest in the
exploration
permit
subject
to
certain
performance
conditions over the Mt Winter project.
The advance to the subsidiary was accounted under IAS 27-
Separate Financial Statements.
Management performed impairment assessment over the
carrying value of investment in and advance to subsidiaries
in line with IAS 36-
Impairment of Assets
. This assessment
involves
use
of
estimates
and
judgements
by
the
management and may result in inaccurate carrying values
due to management bias.
This has been identified as a key audit matter as
1)
the balances are material to the financial statements;
and
2)
there are significant estimates and judgements involved
in management’s assessment which is susceptible to
misstatement due to management bias.
Our work in this area included but not limited to:
Obtaining an understanding of management’s process and
controls in relation to impairment assessment;
Reviewing management’s accounting for the investment
and advance in/to subsidiaries under
IAS 27-Separate
Financial Statements and IFRS 10- Consolidated Financial
Statements;
Obtaining
underlying
documentation
to
confirm
ownership;
Obtaining
and
reviewing
management's
impairment
assessment
and
challenging
key
estimates
and
assumptions used therein;
Reviewing board minutes and Regulatory News Service
announcements for any discussion impacting the carrying
value of investments; and
Reviewing disclosures in the financial statements to ensure
compliance with the relevant accounting standards.
Based on the audit procedures performed, we found the
carrying value to be appropriate and the judgements and
estimates applied by the management were reasonable.
However below instances may result in impairment in future.

Approval of exploration permit for Mt. Winter
The parent company expects to recover it investments through
successful implementation of projects. Currently the Mt.
Winter project is subject to exploration permit. The group is in
discussion to finalise the Land Council Agreement and post
which it can apply for the permit. However the approval of
such a permit is at the discretion of the minister. If the permit
is not granted, this may lead to an impairment of the carrying
value as the parent company may not be able to continue with
exploration activities to derive expected benefits
Accounting for Reverse Takeover (“RTO”) (group) Refer Note 18 and 2
On 30 July 2024, the parent company acquired 100% of the
share capital in Georgina Production Limited (formerly
Georgina Energy Plc) under a reverse takeover.
This has been identified as a key audit matter for the
following reasons:
1)
the material nature of the transaction and the material
balances arising on account of such transaction- share based
payment expense and reverse merger reserve,
2)
the risk of incorrect accounting treatment resulting in
material misstatements in the financial statements, and
3)
the significant estimates and judgements involved in
management’s
assessment
of
fair
value
purchase
consideration and net assets acquired .
Our work in this area included:
Reviewing
the
purchase
agreement
to
ensure
the
consideration calculated is in accordance with the legal
agreements and accounting standards;
Reviewing management’s RTO paper and fair value
assessment
and
obtaining
supporting
documentation
around the fair value assessment to challenge the key
assumption used therein;
Recalculating share based payment expense recognised on
reverse acquisition and reverse acquisition reserve on
consolidation; and
Reviewing disclosures in the financial statements to ensure
compliance with the relevant accounting standards.
Based on the audit work performed and noted above, we have
not noted any issues with the accounting treatment.
Classification and valuation of convertible loan notes (group and company) Refer Note 2 and 11
The parent company entered into transfer and loan
amendment agreement with Westmarket Corporation Pty
Ltd on 11 July 2024 as part of the acquisition of Georgina
Production Limited.
Our work in this area included but not limited:
Obtaining
and
reviewing
the
convertible
loan
note
agreement including any subsequent amendments to
understand the key terms;
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
31
The loan gives the option to the borrower to convert the
loans into ordinary equity shares at specified conversion
price.
There is a risk that the classification and valuation of the
convertible loan notes is not in accordance with the
requirements of IAS 32-
Financial Instruments: Presentation
and IFRS 13-
Fair Value Measurement
and may result in
inaccurate classification and valuation due to management
bias.
This has been identified as a key audit matter as
1)
the balance is material to the financial statements; and
2)
there are significant estimates and judgements involved
in management’s assessment which is susceptible to
incorrect classification and valuation of convertible loan
notes due to management bias.
Obtaining and evaluating management’s assessment of the
classification of the instrument accordance with IAS 32-
Financial Instruments
:
Presentation
;
Obtaining management’s valuation of the convertible loan
notes and evaluating the key inputs and assumptions used
within the model, providing appropriate challenge through
engaging internal valuations team as auditor’s expert; and
Considering the appropriateness of disclosures included in
the financial statements.
Based on the audit procedures performed, we found the
classification and valuation to be appropriate and the
judgements and estimates applied by management were
reasonable.
Prior period adjustments (Group only) Refer note 19
During the period, the
company acquired Georgina
Production Limited (‘GPL’)and Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty
Ltd(‘WMOG’)
Prior to acquisition, all the expenses of GPL and WMOG were
funded by their investor, Westmarket Corporation Pty Ltd
(‘WMC’) but were not recharged in the correct accounting
periods. Note that all entities are under common control. As
part of the acquisition, the expenses paid for by WMC were
invoiced to the respective entities in the current period.
These expenses were therefore accounted for in the
incorrect accounting period.
Further it was noted that GPL and WMOG had incorrectly
accrued certain expenses in previous periods.
This was considered to be a key audit matter due to the
material nature of the transactions involving related parties
and the significant time spent by the audit team in gaining
Our work in this area included
1)
Enquiring with the management on the process of
recharge and book keeping
2)
Reviewing
management’s
impact
assessment
and
challenging management on the reasonableness of the
approach to ensure coverage and completeness
3)
Reviewing management’s adjustment and corroborating
it against supporting documentation.
4)
Reviewing the actual booking of the adjustments to
ensure they are booked to correct period, entity and
general ledger codes
5)
Reviewing adequacy of the disclosure in the financial
statements
As a result of the above, prior year accounts were restated.
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)

32
sufficient evidence of the corrections made.
Based on our audit procedures, the expenses during the period
and accruals and creditor balances as at period end post
adjustments appear to be reasonable.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion
on the group and parent company financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise
explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material
misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the part of the directors’ remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the
Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial period for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and their environment obtained in the
course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to
you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not
been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent company financial statements and the part of the directors’ remuneration report to be audited are not in
agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
the part of the directors’ remuneration report to be audited has not been properly prepared in accordance with the
Companies Act 2006; or
a corporate governance statement has not been prepared by the parent company; and
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ Responsibility Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the group
and parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as
the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the group and parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the
parent company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our
responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which
our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the group and parent company and the sector in which they operate to identify laws
and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We obtained our
understanding in this regard through discussions with management, industry research, and experience of the sector.
We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the group and parent company in this regard to be those
arising from
o
UK Listing Rules;
o
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules;
o
UK Companies Act 2006;
o
UK income tax and employment laws;
o
Local company, taxation and employment laws and regulations applicable in Australia;
o
Mining industry regulations in Australia;
o
General Data Protection Regulations; and
o
Anti-bribery regulations.
The audit team remained alert to instance of non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-
compliance by the group and parent company with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but were not
limited to:
o
Making enquiries of management;
o
Reviewing Board minutes;
o
Obtaining confirmation from group’s company secretary and directors on compliance with laws and
regulations;
o
Reviewing the nature of legal and professional fees;
o
Reviewing Regulatory News Service announcements; and
o
Reviewing post balance sheet events.
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
34
We also considered the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in
addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that the
potential for management bias existed in relation to the recoverability of the carrying value of investment in and advance
to subsidiaries, determination of purchase consideration in respect of reverse takeover accounting and valuation of
convertible loan note . We addressed this by challenging the judgements made by management when auditing these
significant accounting judgements (refer to the key audit matter section).
As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit
procedures which included, but were not limited to: the testing of journals; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence
of bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course
of business
Our review of non-compliance with laws and regulations incorporated the listed parent company and material
components. The risk of actual or suspected non-compliance was not sufficiently significant to our audit to result in our
response being identified as a key audit matter.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a
material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.
This risk increases the more that compliance
with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely
to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than
error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s
website at:
www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities
.
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Other matters which we are required to address
We were appointed by the Board of Directors on 17 October 2024 to audit the financial statements for the period ending 31 January
2025 and subsequent financial periods. This is our first period of appointment as statutory auditors.
The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the group or the parent company and we
remain independent of the group and the parent company in conducting our audit.
Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to
state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose.

responsibility to anyone, other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for
the opinions we have formed.

The Group’s and Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the UK-adopted international
accounting standards (“IAS”)
and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the measurement to
fair value of assets and financial instruments as described in the accounting policies below, and on a going concern basis.
The material accounting policies adopted by the Group and Company in the preparation of these Financial Statements are
set out below on pages 42-49.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements comply with UK adopted International Accounting Standards (“IAS”).
1.
The company has adopted all relevant IASs which were in effect from incorporation when preparing these financial
statements.
2.
Standards and Interpretations which are effective in the current year (Changes in accounting policies); None of the
standards which became effective during the year which are applicable to the Company have had a material impact.
Adoption of new Standards and Interpretations to standards in future years; The Directors anticipate that the adoption of
new Standards and Interpretations in future years will have no material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.
The Company expects to adopt all relevant Standards and Interpretations as and when they become effective.
Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the Financial Statements of the Company and the subsidiaries
from the date of acquisition.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

2025 Annual Report
43
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is
recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income.
Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted
for within equity.
Where considered appropriate, adjustments are made to the financial information of subsidiaries to bring the
accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intercompany transactions
and balances between Group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation.
The Company year end is 31 January and, at the point of acquisition of the subsidiary companies Georgina Production
Limited and Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd, the subsidiary companies year end was 30 April.
As the acquisition of the
subsidiaries on 30 July 2024 is considered to be a reverse takeover under accounting statndards, the consolidated financial
statements include the historical performance of the acquired subsidiaries for the period 1 May 2024 to 31 January 2025,
and those of the legal parent for the period from acquisition of 30 July 2024 to 31 January 2025.
The comparative historical
performance in the consolidated financial statements is that of the acquired subsidiaries for the year to 30 April 2024.
As
a result, the performance of the Group for the period to 31 January 2025 is not directly comparable to the prior year due
to the performance being reported over a shorter period.
The loss for the period includes a £2.4m share based payment charge arising from the accounting treatment of the reverse
takeover under IFRS and represents a non cash charge for the year.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective
and, in some cases, have not yet been adopted by the UK. The Directors do not expect that the adoption of these standards
will have a material impact on the Company Financial Statements.
Going concern
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that the Company
will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities, loans
and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Directors have undertaken cashflow forecasting to determine the funding needs of the Group for a period from 31 May
2025, at which point the Group held approx. £0.43m in cash reserves, to 31 October 2026.
The Group has forecasted cash
outflow over the assessment period totalling to £4.5m (including repayment of CSS Loan and VAT liability) , of which approx.
£1.4m (including VAT liability) is committed at this point in time and undeferrable and £3.1m (including repayment of CSS
Loan) is deferable due to support letter from the lender for extension of tenure and the potential for contract cancellation
or fee waiver should the Group be unable to secure the additional financing required to meet all of its planned corporate
and exploration activity expenditure. The Group has
Consequently, the Directors have determined that the Group and Company remains a going concern over the period of
assessment.
However in order to meet its planned corporate and exploration activity expenditure, additional funding will
be required over the period of assessment.
As a result, there exists a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to
continue as a going concern.
Investment in subsidiaries
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
44
Investment in subsidiaries, comprising equity instruments and capital contributions, are recognised initially at cost less any
provision for impairment.
Advance to subsidiaries
Advance to subsidiaries are not considered to be subject to IFRS 9 on the basis that there are no formal agreements
between the Company and its subsidiaries, and these advances are investments in nature.
Consequently these advances
are measured at amortised cost, net of provision for impairment. The advances are interest free and have no fixed
repayment terms.
Advances are fully impaired when the business operations and development activity of the relevant subsidiary becomes
indicative that the underlying project of the subsidiary may not yield ultimate economic inflows associated with the
commercial development of the asset, such that the subsidiary is not expected to be able to repay the advance from its
future economic activities. As a result, the value of the advances to subsidiaries have been aggregated with the investment
in subsidiaries on the face of the Company only balance sheet as at the reporting date.
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the profit or loss for the period and takes into account deferred tax. The Group’s liability
for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred
tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit or loss, and is
accounted for using the liability method.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available in the
foreseeable future against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Intangible assets: capitalised exploration and evaluation costs
Pre-licence costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Expenditure on licence renewals and new licence
applications covering an area previously under licence are capitalised in accordance with the policy set out below.
Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, exploration costs and evaluation costs arising are capitalised on a project-
by-project basis, pending determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project. Costs include
appropriate technical and administrative expenses. If a project is successful, the related expenditures will be reclassified as
development and production assets and amortised over the estimated life of the commercial reserves. Prior to this, no
amortisation is recognised in respect of such costs. When all licences comprising a project are relinquished, a project is
abandoned or is considered to be of no further commercial value to the Company, the related costs will be written off to
administrative expense within profit or loss. Capitalised exploration costs are carried at historical cost less any impairment
losses recognised.
Impairment reviews for capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure are carried out on a project-by-project basis,
with each project representing a potential single cash generating unit. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 6, an
impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment arise such as:
unexpected geological occurrences that render the resource uneconomic;
title to the asset is compromised;
variations in mineral prices that render the project uneconomic;
substantive expenditure on further exploration and evaluation of mineral resources which is neither budgeted nor
planned; and
the period for which the Group has the right to explore has expired and is not expected to be renewed.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased
to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit)
in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the year.
Employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including any non monetary benefits, expected to be settled within 12 months of the
reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees services up to the reporting date and are measured
at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Foreign Currencies
The presentational currency of the Group is Sterling (£), which is also the functional currency of the Parent Company and
Group given the UK centric headquartering of the Company and Group. Each Group entity determines its own functional
currency and items included in the Financial Statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
The
functional currencies of the Group entities are Sterling and Australian Dollars.
The functional currencies of the foreign subsidiary are the Australian Dollar (“AUD”).
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the relevant entity are initially recorded at the exchange
rate prevailing on the dates of the transaction. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date,
when the fair value was determined. Gains and losses arising on retranslation are included in profit or loss for the year,
except for exchange differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are recognised directly in other
comprehensive income, when the changes in fair value are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s overseas operations are translated into the Group’s
presentational currency at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at
the average exchange rates for the year unless exchange rates have fluctuated significantly during the year, in which case,
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction is used. All exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as other
comprehensive income and are transferred to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve.
On disposal of any such
overseas subsidiaries, cumulative foreign exchange losses or gains recognised in equity via Other Comprehensive Income
become realised and are recognised through the profit and loss account on disposal.
Share-Based Payments
Share Options & Warrants
The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment arrangements.
Where the fair value of the goods or services
received may be determined directly, the fair value of the options or warrants are considered to reflect the fair value of
the goods or services received. Where the fair value of the goods or services may not be directly measured, the fair value
of services provided is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the instrument granted.
The fair value of options and or warrants granted to various parties, in respect of services provided, is recognised as an
expense in the Income Statement with a corresponding increase in equity reserves – the share-based payment reserve.
The fair value is measured at grant date and charged over the vesting period during which the option becomes
unconditional.
The fair value of options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon
which the options were granted. The exercise price is fixed at the date of grant.
Non-market conditions are performance conditions that are not related to the market price of the entity’s equity
instruments. They are not considered, when estimating the fair value of a share-based payment. Where the vesting period
is linked to a non-market performance condition, the Group recognises the goods and services it has acquired during the
vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The estimate
is reconsidered at each reporting date, based on factors such as a shortened vesting period, and the cumulative expense
is “trued up” for both the change in the number expected to vest and any change in the expected vesting period.
Market conditions are performance conditions that relate to the market price of the entity’s equity instruments. These
conditions are included in the estimate of the fair value of a share-based payment. They are not taken into account for the
purpose of estimating the number of equity instruments that will vest. Where the vesting period is linked to a market
performance condition, the Group estimates the expected vesting period. If the actual vesting period is shorter than
estimated, the charge is to be accelerated in the period that the entity delivers the cash or equity instruments to the
counterparty. When the vesting period is longer, the expense is recognised over the originally estimated vesting period.
Warrants issued as part of the cost of an equity raise (for example as part of advisers’ fees) are recorded at fair value as a
cost of that financing within Share Premium and Share-based Payment Reserve. Warrants issued to holders of loan notes
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
46
as an incentive to their consent for novation and or settlement in equity shares are recorded at fair value as a financing
expense in the profit and loss for the period.
On expiry or exercise of any options and warrants in issue, the fair value of such instruments which had been charged to
the share based payment reserve are recycled into retained earnings in the period in which the instruments expire or are
exercised.
For other equity instruments, granted during the year (i.e. other than share options), fair value is measured on the basis
of an observable market price.
Reserves
Share capital and share premium
Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are classified as equity. Amounts in excess of the nominal value of the shares
issued is recognised as share premium. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are
deducted against share capital.
Reverse Takeover reserve
This represents a non-distributable reserve arising on the acquisition of Georgina Energy plc by the Company.
Merger reserve
This represents a non-distributable reserve arising on the recognition of the premium on shares issued in consideration for
the acquisition of Georgina Production Limited by the Company, which under the Companies Act requirements cannot be
recognised in the Share Premium or Share Capital.
Share based payments reserve
Warrants and options classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s Statement
of Financial Position and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Management estimates the fair value of these
instruments, using option pricing models and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants
or options on the valuation date as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life, yield and risk-free interest
rate.
The reserve for the fair value of share options and warrants that have been granted by the Company and remain
unexercised.
On expiry or exercise of such options and warrants the fair value of the instruments are recycled out of the
share based payment reserve into retained earnings or share capital and premium respectively.
Shares to issue reserve
The reserve represents the fair value of equity instruments to be issued at a future date and representing deferred or
contingent consideration payable by the Company through the issuance of such shares.
Foreign exchange translation reserve
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s overseas operations are translated into the Group’s
presentational currency at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are
translated at the average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates have fluctuated significantly
during the year, in which case, the exchange rate at the date of the transaction is used. All exchange differences
arising, if any, are recognised as other comprehensive income and are transferred to the Group’s foreign currency
translation reserve.
Operating segments
Management considers the business to have a single operating segment, being the exploration for helium, hydrogen and
hydrocarbons in Australia.
As a consequence no operating segment disclosures have been included in these financial
statements as all operations are considered to form part of this single business activity.
Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
a financial instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts and interests and it is intended to settle on a net basis.
Financial assets
Financial assets which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, are measured
using the Effective Interest Rate Method (EIR) and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
47
loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
Financial assets are made up of trade and other receivables
and cash.
Trade and other receivables are held for the collection of contractual cash flows and are classified as being measured at
amortised cost. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method less provision for impairment.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
Impairment provisions for receivables 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. 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.
Financial liabilities
The company does not currently have any financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, therefore all the
financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised
cost.
Financial liabilities include:
Borrowings, which are initially recognised at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue
of the instrument. Such interest-bearing liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method, which ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on
the balance of the liability carried in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For the purposes of each
financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption as well
as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding;
Liability components of convertible loans are measured as described further below; and
Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently
carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the contractual financial commitments of the liability have been met in full.
Convertible loans
Convertible loans are assessed to see if they meet the criteria for recognition of an equity component, being the
determination that conversion is probably and will be for a defined number of equity instruments at a defined value.
Where
convertible loans do not meet this criteria they are recognised and subject to the same treatment as borrowings that do
not have any conversion feature.
For convertible loans that do meet the criteria for recognition of an equity component, the proceeds, received on issue of
the Group's convertible debt, are allocated into their liability and equity components. The amount initially attributed to
the debt component equals the discounted cash flows, using a market rate of interest that would be payable on a similar
debt instrument that does not include an option to convert. Subsequently, the debt component is accounted for as a
financial liability, measured at amortised cost until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bond. The remainder of
the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option and is recognised in the "Convertible debt option reserve" within
shareholders' equity, net of income tax effects.
Where convertible loan instruments do not meet the criteria for recognition as containing an equity component, but are
assessed as having an embedded derivative instrument resulting from the conversion terms, the principal and interest
component is classified as financial liability and the conversion option feature as a derivative liability. The amount initially
attributed to the debt component (host contract) equals the discounted cash flows using a market rate of interest that
would be payable on a similar debt instrument that does not include an option to convert. Subsequently, the debt
component is accounted for as a financial liability measured at amortised cost until extinguished on conversion or maturity
of the bond. The derivative liability is initially recognised at fair value and subsequently held as a financial liability at fair
value through profit or loss.
Significant judgements and estimates
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
48
In preparing the financial statements judgement was used in considering whether or not a material uncertainty exists in
relation to going concern. See the above Going Concern disclosures for details.
Embedded derivative liability – convertible loan notes
The Group issued a convertible loan (CLN) with embedded derivative features, which necessitates significant judgement
in determining the classification of the derivative as either equity or a financial liability. This judgement considers the
contractual terms of the conversion option, assessing whether the derivative meets the criteria for classification as
equity in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation. The CLN was classified as a
derivative financial liability (DFL) and is held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
For CLNs where the embedded derivative is classified as a financial liability, an option-pricing model is applied to
determine fair value, considering the complex terms and variability of the conversion feature.
For CLNs classified as containing a DFL held at FVTPL, the Group uses a risk weighted Black Scholes model to estimate the
fair value of the DFL on initial recognition, at each reporting date, and upon conversion events. Key inputs in the risk
weighted Black Scholes model include the Company’s share price, share price volatility, the risk free interest rate, and
assumptions regarding the timing and probability of conversion.
Changes in any of these assumptions may significantly impact the fair value of the derivative liability, potentially resulting
in profit or loss variations. Management regularly reassesses these inputs, utilizing historical data and market-based
assumptions to ensure that the fair value estimation reflects the economic substance of the convertible instrument.
Exploration and evaluation cost
The Directors have considered the application of IFRS 6 with regards to exploration expenditure undertaken on its Hussar
asset, over which the Group holds an exploration licence, and its Mt Winter asset, over which it holds an exploration licence
application.
The Board considers that, notwithstanding the fact that it holds valid licence tenure over its Hussar prospect, the early
stage of the current exploration activity represents a technical risk profile which the Board considers to be insufficiently
advanced or “de-risked” to merit capitalisation of exploration expenditure at this stage.
Consequently all technical
expenditure undertaken on this asset has been recognised in the loss for the period.
The Board has determined that it will
revisit the technical risk profile of the asset following the execution and testing of its first well, assessing flow rates and
decline profiles, following which it will determine to commence capitalisation of exploration, appraisal and development
expenditure in the event of a commercially successful outcome.
As the Mt Winter asset remains the subject of a licence application at the reporting date the Board does not consider it
has sufficient tenure to commence capitalisation of exploration expenditure over this asset as at the period end.
Consequently all such expenditure has been recognised in the loss for the period.
Acquisition of subsidiary – purchase consideration
During the year the Company acquired a 100% interest in Georgina Production Limited and its 100% subsidiary Westmarket
Oil & Gas Pty Ltd.
Consideration for this purchase took the form of new ordinary shares in the Company and the obligation
to issue further new ordinary shares in the Company at a future date once certain performance criteria have been met
(the “performance shares”).
The Directors have determined the fair value of this consideration by reference to the number
of shares issued or to be issued and the contractual price of the shares as detailed in the readmission prospectus and share
purchase agreement.
The directors have considered the likelihood that the performance shares will be issued and determined that the issuance
of these shares is highly probably, noting that one of the three criteria had been met as at the reporting date.
As a
consequence the fair value of this consideration has been recognised as forming part of the cost of the investment in the
subsidiary with the consideration shares to be issued being recognised in a “shares to issue” reserve in equity.
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Group follows the guidance of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets to determine, when a non-financial asset is impaired. The
Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
49
value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows
that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is not easily determined due to the early stage nature of the project, management
undertakes a qualitative assessment of technical work undertaken to date to determine if the results of such work indicates
the asset may be impaired.
The group has the following Non-Financial Assets; Investments in subsidiaries and advances extended to subsidiaries
(Company only).
As the subsidiary projects remain in the early stage of their development cycle management has not been able to accurately
determine the value in use of these assets as future cashflows cannot be reliably estimated at this stage.
Consequently
management has undertaken a qualitative assessment of the technical work undertaken to date and determined that there
are no current indications of impairment of these assets.
Fair value of share based payments
During the year warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company were issued to a number of parties for
services over the course of the completion of the transaction.
As the fair value of the services cannot be reliably measured
directly, the Company has determined the fair value of these services by utilising the Black-Scholes valuation model.
In
determining the fair value of the warrants the Directors have had to apply certain judgements, such as the application of
a suitable volatility assumption as required by the Black-Scholes model.
As the Company does not have sufficient trading
history to determine a suitable volatility expectation based on its own historic volatility, the historic volatility of comparable
companies have been used to arrive at this estimate.

Share based payment reserve
The share based payment reserve arises on recognition of the fair value of options and warrants issued to date where,
other than for any warrants issued to investors deemed to form part of the value of the investment and therefore not
recognised in the financial statements.
As at 31 January 2024, the Company had 17.17m
warrants in issue exercisable at £0.04 per share and expiring on 6
September 2024. There warrants lapse during the period.
Warrants issued in the Year
On 30 July 2024 the Company issued the following warrants:
3,433,333 “A” warrants with a strike price of £0.16 each exercisable for 2 years to former advisors and
creditors of the company

subscription proceeds in return for 6,358,848 ordinary shares in full extinguishment of the Company
obligations under the warrant instrument.
On 19 September 2024 the Company issued the following warrants:
1,286,366 “F” warrants with a strike price of £0.15625 each exercisable for 2 years to creditors of the Company

The 21,196,160 “E” warrants issued in the year formed part of a debt novation agreement and so are considered to form part of
the fair value of the debt instrument.
Consequently no fair value has been recognised in these financial statements for the grant
of these warrants.
The warrants were exercised in the year on the “cashless” basis, with the share capital and premium
recognised on exercise calculated with reference to the market value of the shares on admission and the corresponding expense
recognised as a share based payment expense within finance costs in the period.
As the Company does not have past share price trading data to draw on in estimating the expected future volatility of its share
price for the purposes of utilising the Black Scholes valuation model as noted above, the directors have had to draw on the
historic share price trading data of alternative projects which it has deemed to be analogous to the Group’s operations, based on
the nature and jurisdiction of the projects, listing location and market capitalisation.

The current borrowings balance of £969k includes the following related party balances:
£60k owed to Robin Fryer, a related party entity as a result of being director and shareholder.
The amount,
which is not subject to formal loan documentation beyond agreement between the parties, includes interest of
£10k (8.5% per annum), is unsecured and was repaid following the year end.
£50k owed to Swen Maikrainz which is repayable on demand and attracts an interest rate of 8.5% per annum.
Included in current borrowings is the amount of £859,275 payable to CSS Alpha Global, which is denominated in USD
with $1,071,143 in principal and interest outstanding at the year end.
The loan accrues interest on a monthly basis at
1.5% of amounts outstanding (principal and interest), is subject to monthly repayments of £20,000 (approx. $25,000)
and is repayable in full at maturity on 30 July 2025.
The non-current borrowings balance of £828k includes the following related party balances:
£1.28m owed to Westmarket Corporation Pty, a related party entity as a result of being a major shareholder.
The loan bears interest at 8% per annum and matures 5 years from its novation to the Company from GPL on 30
July 2024 and is convertible into new ordinary shares, at the election of the Company, at the lower of a 35%
discount to the readmission price of the company shares and the 5 day volume weighted average share price for
the 5 day period prior to the election to convert.
As the terms of the convertibility has been deemed to
represent a derivative liability the debt component of the loan has been recognised based on the total
recognition value less the value of the derivative liability, with imputed interest to the reporting date.

Borrowing – embedded derivative liability
On 30 July 2024, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Westmarket Corporation Pty Ltd, a related party.
The loan
bears interest at 8% per annum and matures 5 years from its novation to the Company from GPL on 30 July 2024 and is convertible
into new ordinary shares, at the election of the Company, at the lower of a 35% discount to the readmission price of the company
shares and the 5 day volume weighted average share price for the 5 day period prior to the election to convert.
The conversion option attached to the loan is considered to form a derivative liability of the Company as, under certain
circumstances, the conversion of the loan will result in the Company issuing a greater value of shares than the face value of the
host financial liability contract.
As a consequence, the derivative liability has been valued using a risk weighted Black Scholes
model to determine the fair value as at the date of initial recognition and the subsequent reporting date.
On initial recognition,
the fair value of the embedded derivative is subtracted from the combined instrument fair value to arrive at the fair value of the
host financial liability (debt), with the effective interest rate (EIR) being determined as the discount rate which discounts the
future cashflows arising from the instrument to the fair value of the host contract at initial recognition.

Life – 2 years
Risk free rate – 3.84%

The BS valuation model was undertaken for a variety of scenarios, being conversion at different market prices and in different
timeframes over the period of convertibility of the loan, with a fair value determined for each and being assigned a risk weighting
based on management’s assessment of the probability of each scenario being the likely outcome, with the risk weighted average
fair value being taken as the best estimate for fair value of the embedded derivative.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company uses a limited number of financial instruments, comprising cash and various items such as trade payables,
which arise directly from operations. The Company does not trade in financial instruments.
Financial risk factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk
management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse
effects on the Company’s financial performance.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its commercial
obligations. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying amount of cash of £1,215,874 (2024:
£4,767). Credit risk is managed by ensuring that funds are deposited with financial institutions with a credit rating
equivalent to, or above, the main UK clearing banks.
Receivables as at the reporting date consist of:
VAT/GST recoverable of £304,510 (2024: £18,325) and receivable within 3 months of the year end and
Prepayments of £83,780 (2024: nil) which mature over a range of periods from 1 month to 12 months from the
year end.
b) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash such that the Company can ensure it has adequate
resource to discharge all its liabilities. The directors have considered the liquidity risk as part of their going concern
assessment. (See note 2).
Liquidity risk is managed by management via maintenance and regular review of cashflow
forecasts against existing cash reserves and planned future sources of funding to ensure any forecast liquidity deficits are
addressed in good time with adequate buffers to accommodate unforeseen circumstances and changes to funding
availability.
Included in trade and other payables of £1,231,792 (2024: £1,752,142) are amounts totalling £358,884 (2024: £1,186,593)
payable in less than 3 months and £872,908 (2024: £565,549) payable in 6 months respectively.
c) Foreign currency risk
The Group undertakes transactions in currencies other than its reporting currency, with borrowings in US Dollars totalling
£859,275 as at the reporting date (2024: £965,371).
If the USD to Sterling foreign exchange rate were to increase or
decrease by 10% this liability would decrease/increase by £78,115 (2024: £87,761).
The Group manages foreign currency
risk by forecasting the need for foreign currency to settle planned future transactions and monitoring trends in the key
currency exchange rates to consider whether advance currency purchases are merited, driven by observed volatility and
materiality of transactional currency needs.
The Group does not engage in any structured foreign currency hedging
strategies.
Fair values
Management assessed that the fair values of cash trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying
amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of derivative financial liabilities are
calculated at each reporting date as detailed in note 11.
14.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company'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. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the
Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
15.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, loans and other payables. The
Company’s accounting policies and method adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis on which income and
expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial assets, financial liability and equity instrument are set out in
Note 2. The Company do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The principal financial instruments used by the Company, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows:

LOSS PER SHARE
The loss per share has been calculated using the loss for the year and the weighted average number of ordinary shares
entitled to dividend rights which were outstanding during the year. There were no potentially dilutive ordinary shares at
the year end.

Basic loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average
number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary
shares.
As at 31 January 2025 and 30 April 2024 the effects of all potentially dilutive instruments in issue for consideration in
arriving at the fully diluted loss per share have been omitted as the impacts of all such instruments as at the year end are
anti-dilutive as the Group operated to a loss for the period.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Key management are considered to be the directors and major shareholders. The key management personnel
compensation and shareholder borrowings have been disclosed in note 12.
During the year, Westmarket Corporation Pty Ltd (WMC), a company controlled by Mark Wallace and Anthony Hamilton,
provided working capital support to the Group and met £0.45m of Group transactions on its behalf, which were
subsequently recharged to the Group for reimbursement.
As at the reporting date amounts owing to WMC totalled £1.28m
(2024: £0.80m).
See note 11 for further details.
During the year, the Group sublet office space from WMC for total rentals of £18,547 (2024: £24,730).
The Board does not consider there to be any related parties to the Company other than Key Management Personnel,
transactions settled by Westmarket Corporation on behalf of the Group and the borrowings from major shareholders
disclosed in note 11.

REVERSE TAKEOVER
On 30 July 2024, Mining Minerals and Metals plc (later renamed Georgina Energy plc or “GEP”) acquired 100% of the
share capital of Georgina Energy plc (later renamed Georgina Production ltd or “GPL”) (the
‘Legal Subsidiary’) for 26,000,000 firm Consideration Shares at a deemed valuation of £0.125 per share (nominal value
£0.05), and conditional consideration of 31,500,000 Deferred Consideration Shares at a deemed valuation of £0.125 per
share (nominal value £0.05) valuing the Company at £7,187,500.
The acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition and hence accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2.
Although the transaction resulted in GPL becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
the transaction constitutes a reverse acquisition as the previous shareholders of GPL own a
substantial majority of the Ordinary Shares of the Company and the executive management of GPL became the executive
management of GEP. In substance, the shareholders of GPL acquired a controlling interest in the Company and the
transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. The reverse acquisition falls under IFRS 2 rather
than IFRS 3 as the activities of GEP (the ‘Legal Parent’) do not constitute a business.
The following table summarises the consideration paid for the Legal Parent through the reverse acquisition and
the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The financial comparatives
relate to Legal Subsidiary rather than the Legal Parent as the consolidated financial statements represent a
continuation of the financial statements of the Legal Subsidiary.
In accordance with IFRS 2, the value of obtaining the listing under a reverse acquisition is calculated on the net
assets of the legal parent. The share based payment of £2,415,663 arising from the acquisition is attributable to the
value of the parent company being an LSE main market listed entity to the Legal Subsidiary and has been recognised as
an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

In a reverse acquisition the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred by the Legal Subsidiary is
based on the number of equity instruments that the Legal Subsidiary would have had to issue to the owners of the
Legal Parent to give the owners of the Legal Parent the same percentage of equity interests that results from the
reverse acquisition. However, in the absence of a reliable valuation of the Legal Subsidiary, the cost of the reverse
acquisition was calculated using the fair value of all the pre-acquisition issued equity instruments of the Legal
Parent as at the date of the acquisition. The fair value was based on the published price of the Legal Parent shares
immediately prior to the acquisition being £0.195 per share.
All acquisition related costs incurred by the Legal Parent have been accrued as at the date of the completion of the
acquisition and are consequently included in the pre-acquisition retained earnings which have been eliminated on
consolidation along with other pre-acquisition losses in the Legal Parent in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2.
The fair values of the recognised amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed equate to their
carrying values as stated above.
The Group statement of comprehensive income includes an operating loss of £1,892,379 in the period since acquisition,
which is attributable to the Legal Parent.

PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT
Prior to acquisition of GPL by GEP, all the expenses of GPL and WMOG were funded by their investor, Westmarket Corporation
Pty Ltd (‘WMC’) but were not recharged in the correct accounting periods. Note that all entities are under common control. As
part of the acquisition, the expenses paid for by WMC were invoiced to the respective entities in the current period. These
expenses were therefore accounted for in the incorrect accounting period. Further it was noted that GPL and WMOG had
incorrectly accrued certain expenses in previous periods.
The management assessed the
above matters and concluded
that the errors were pertaining to 2024 and years prior to 2024.
The management restated it prior year accounts and financial position beginning of the earliest prior period presented.

The investment in the Company’s subsidiary arose in the current year following the acquisition of a 100% interest in the
shares of Georgina Production Limited (formerly Georgina Energy plc) (GPL).
The value of the investment has been
recognised based on the measured value of the consideration paid, being shares issued to the vendors of GPL plus the
value of shares to be issued following certain criteria being met (see note 18 in the consolidated financial statements for
details), which the board has determined is highly probable and therefore meets the criteria for recognition as an equity
reserve (shares to issue reserve).
Advances made to subsidiary undertakings are interest free and recoverable through future economic inflow generation
from the development of the subsidiary projects.
As such, they are assessed as forming part of the investment in the
subsidiaries under IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements and so are presented within “Investment in subsidiaries” on
the parent company balance sheet.
Please see note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for details of the
subsidiaries and their business operations.

£60k owed to Robin Fryer, a related party entity as a result of being director and shareholder.
The amount,
which is not subject to formal loan documentation beyond agreement between the parties, includes £10k of
interest, is unsecured and was repaid following the year end.
Included in current borrowings is the amount of £859,275 payable to CSS Alpha Global, which is denominated in USD
with $1,071,143 in principal and interest outstanding at the year end.

The loan bears interest at 8% per annum and matures 5 years from its novation to the Company from GPL on 30

discount to the readmission price of the company shares and the 5 day volume weighted average share price for
the 5 day period prior to the election to convert.
As the terms of the convertibility has been deemed to
represent a derivative liability the debt component of the loan has been recognised based on the total
recognition value less the value of the derivative liability, with imputed interest to the reporting date.

11 for further details.

DIRECTORS’ EMOLUMENTS
The directors emoluments for the Company are the same as the Group, see note 12 to the consolidated financial statements
for details.
C10.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company uses a limited number of financial instruments, comprising cash and various items such as trade payables,
which arise directly from operations. The Company does not trade in financial instruments.
Georgina Energy PLC (formerly known as Mining, Minerals and Metals Plc)
2025 Annual Report
71
Financial risk factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk
management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse
effects on the Company’s financial performance.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its commercial
obligations. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying amount of cash of £1,212,792 (2024:
£4,767). Funds are deposited with financial institutions with a credit rating equivalent to, or above, the main UK clearing
banks.
b) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the Company ensures it has adequate resource to
discharge all its liabilities. The directors have considered the liquidity risk as part of their going concern assessment. (See
note 2).
c) Foreign currency risk
The Company undertakes transactions in currencies other than its reporting currency, with borrowings in US Dollars
totalling £859,275 as at the reporting date (2024: £965,371).
If the USD to Sterling foreign exchange rate were to increase
or decrease by 10% this liability would decrease/increase by £78,115 (2024: £87,761).
The Company manages foreign
currency risk by forecasting the need for foreign currency to settle planned future transactions and monitoring trends in
the key currency exchange rates to consider whether advance currency purchases are merited, driven by observed volatility
and materiality of transactional currency needs.
The Company does not engage in any structured foreign currency hedging
strategies
Fair values
Management assessed that the fair values of cash trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying
amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
C11.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company'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. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the
Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
C12.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, loans and other payables. The
Company’s accounting policies and method adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis on which income and
expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial assets, financial liability and equity instrument are set out in
Note 2. The Company do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes.
