STRATEGIC
REPORT
FOR
THE
YEAR
ENDED

2024
COMPANY
NUMBER
13349097
The
Directors
present
their
Strategic
Report
for
the
year
ended
30
April
2024.
REVIEW
OF
BUSINESS
STRATEGY
AND
BUSINESS
MODEL
MOH
Nippon
Plc (formerly
Bowen
Fintech
Plc)
(the
"Company"
or
"Bowen")
was
incorporated
in
England and
Wales
as
a
public
limited
company
with
limited
liability
under
the
Companies
Act
with
registered
number
13349097.
The
Company
was
set
up
to
pursue
opportunities
to
acquire
businesses
in
the
technology
innovations
market
with
a
main
focus
on
companies
which
own
products
or
applications
that
are
relevant
to
the
financial
services
sector,
although
it
would
also
evaluate
opportunities
with
applications
relevant
to
other
industry
sectors.
Since
incorporation,
the
Company
has
not
traded
and
has
not
entered
into
any
significant
transactions
or
financial
commitments,
save
as
set
out
in
these
financial
statements.
The
Directors
were
looking
to
acquire
a
company
with
attractive
revenue
growth
and
a
clear
pathway
to
high
quality
earnings,
and
efforts
to
identify
a
prospective
target
business
were
not
limited
to
a
particular
geographic region.
The
Ordinary
Shares
of
the
Company
were
admitted
by
the
FCA
to
a
Standard
Listing
on
the
Official
List
in
accordance
with
Chapter
14
of
the
Listing
Rules
and
to
trading
on
the
Main
Market
of
the
London
Stock
Exchange
on
31 October
2022.
On
admission,
the
Company
was
authorised
to
issue
one
class
of
Ordinary
Shares.
For
the
year
under
review,
the
Company's
financial
objectives
under
its
key
performance
indicators
were
to
improve
its
balance
sheet,
commence
the
process
to
secure
an
acquisition
and
obtain
additional funding
if
required.
Despite
suitable
acquisition
targets
not
always
being
readily
available
and
with
the
capital
markets
facing
challenging
times,
the
Company
was
pleased
to
confirm
that
it
had
identified
a
suitable
business during
the
period
and,
on
22
December
2023,
announced
that
it
had
signed
a
conditional
term
sheet
to
acquire
a
93.49%
interest
in
a
Japan-based
crowdfunding
services
platform,
Minnadeooyasan-Hanbai
Co.,
Ltd
("MOH"),
to
be
settled
through
the
issue
of
new
Ordinary
Shares
("Consideration Shares")
in
the
Company.
The
Company
is
pleased
to
announce
that
on
30
July
2024,
it
signed
a
conditional
sale
and
purchase
agreement
to
acquire
97.41%
of
MOH
subject
to
necessary
resolutions
being
passed
at
the
general
meeting
by
shareholders
and
to
re-admission
of
the
Company's
shares
to
trading
on
the
Main Market
of
the
London
Stock
Exchange.
The
prospectus,
having
been approved
by
the
FCA,
was
published
on
31
July
2024.
On
16
August 2024,
all
resolutions
were
passed
at
the
Company's
general
meeting
approving
the
acquisition
of
MOH
and
on
the following
working
day,
19
August 2024,
the
Company's
shares
were
re-admitted
to
trading.
The
Company
was
able
to
acquire
97.41%
of
MOH
for
229,779,093
Consideration
Shares.
On
14
August
2024,
the
Company
changed
its
name
to
MOH
Nippon
Plc
and
trades
under
the
ticker
'MOH'.
Further
information
on
the
transaction
can
be
found
under
'Events
after
the
reporting
date'
in
the
Directors'
Report
section
on
page

MOH
is
an
established
and
profitable
crowdfunding
services
platform
in
Japan
and solution
provider
for
local
investors
seeking
returns
from
investment
into
real
estate.
The head
office
is
located
in
Tokyo
and
MOH
is
regulated
under
the
Real
Estate
Specified
Joint
Venture
Act
("FTK
Act")

to
2023,
MOH
successfully
solicited
investments
from almost
40,000
individual
investors
in
Japan
and
raised
capital
of
approximately
JPY
277 billion
(c.
€1.45
billion)
through
crowdfunding.

STRATEGIC
REPORT
FOR THE
YEAR
ENDED
30 APRIL 2024
For
the
year
ended
31
March
2023
(audited),
MOH
reported
an
operating
profit
of
JPY 731
million
(c.
f3.8
million)
on
revenues
of
JPY
5.6
billion
(c.
E29.3
million).
For
the
unaudited
six-month
period
to
30
September
2023,
MOH
reported
an
operating
profit of
JPY
2.2
billion
(c.
Ell.3
million)
on
revenues
of
JPY
4.9
billion
(c.
€25.9
million).
Unaudited
net
assets
as
at
30
September
2023
were
JPY
5.0
billion
(c.
E26.2
million).
The
Company
acquired
the
shares
in
MOH
from
Kyosei
Bank
Co.,
Ltd
("KBC"),
a
privately
owned
company
in
Japan,
as a
result
of
which
KBC
became
the
80.69%
shareholder
of
the
Company.
To
date,
MOH
has provided
services
solely
to
a
group
of
companies
owned
by
KBC.
This
arrangement
has
provided
MOH
with
a
proprietary
pipeline
of
projects
for
crowdfunding
opportunities,
commercialisation
and
development.
In
addition
to
traditional
real
estate asset
classes such
as
residential
and
commercial,
MOH
has
previously
crowdfunded
for
the
revitalisation
of
traditional
agricultural-type
farms,
the
refurbishment
of
state-of-the-art
medical
facilities
and
the
revival
of
traditional cultural
parks.
MOH
has
also
more
recently started
to
invest
directly
(through
land
purchase
and
development
activities)
into
technology-driven
commercial
projects,
such
as
cold-chain
logistics
facilities.
The
acquisition
constituted
a
reverse
takeover
under
the
Listing
Rules.
Following
completion
of
the
Acquisition,
the
Directors
intend
to
adopt
a
strategy to
continue
to
grow
and
develop
the
existing
operations
of
MOH,
increasing
its
client
base
and
developing
its
cold-chain
logistics
business
internationally
using
the
Board's
network,
with
a
view
to
generating
value
for
its
shareholders.
This
strategy
may
involve
additional complementary acquisitions
of
other
businesses
in
the
same or
related
sectors
alongside
organic growth.
Principal
risks
and
uncertainties
The
Enlarged
Group's
business
activities
expose
it
to
a
variety
of
risks,
being
foreign
investment
and
exchange
risks,
finance
risks
and
strategic
risks.
To
help
address
the
above
risks,
the
Company
has retained
the
services
of
consultants
and
third-party
advisors
who
are,
together with the
Directors,
working
to
develop
appropriate
actions,
such
as
hedging policies,
to
manage
and
mitigate
these risks
where
possible.
KPIs
will
be
established
by the
Company's
new
board
and
reported
on
in
future
periods.
Foreign
investment and
exchange
risks
The
Company's
functional
and
presentational
currency
in
these
financial
statements
is
GBP
pounds
sterling.
As
a
result,
the
Company's
financial
statements
will
carry
the
Company's
assets
in
pounds
sterling.
Following
the
reverse
takeover
of
MOH,
the
functional
and
presentational
currency
of
future
financial
statements
will
be
the
Japanese
Yen.
Other
potential
risks
associated
with
the
Enlarged
Group
following the
reverse
takeover
include
regulatory
and
license
risks,
particularly
associated
with
the
FTK
Act
which
governs
MON's
activities
in
Japan.
Further detail
on
risks
is
provided
in
Note
15
to
the
financial
statements.

Events
after
the
reporting
date
a.
Reverse
takeover
of
Minnadeooyasan-Hanbai
Co.,
Ltd
("MOH")
On
19
August
2024,
the
Company
completed
its
acquisition
of
MOH,
acquiring
a
97.41%
interest
via
a
share-
for-share
exchange.
Bowen
Fintech
Plc
was
renamed
MOH
Nippon
Plc
on
14
August
2024 and
became
effective from
Admission
on
19
August
2024.
Although
the
transaction
resulted
in
MOH
becoming
a
subsidiary
in
the
newly
enlarged
MOH
Nippon
Plc
(formerly
Bowen Fintech
Plc)
group,
due
to
the
relative
size
of
MOH
compared
to
Bowen,
the
change
in
control
of
the
Board
of
the
Company
and
the
fact
that,
as
the
previous
majority
shareholder
of
MOH
owns
a
substantial
majority
(80.69%)
of
the
ordinary shares
of
the
Company,
the
transaction
constitutes
a
reverse
acquisition.
In
substance,
the
shareholders
of
MOH
have
acquired
a
controlling
interest
in
Bowen
Fintech
Plc and
the
transaction
will
therefore
be
accounted
for
as
a
reverse
acquisition
in
future
reporting
periods.
As
Bowen
Fintech
Plc's
activities
prior
to
the
acquisition
were
purely
the
maintenance
of
the
Listing,
acquiring
MOH
does
not
meet
the
definition
of
a
business
in
accordance
with
IFRS 3
"Business
Combinations".
Accordingly,
the
reverse
acquisition
will
not
be
accounted
for
in
accordance
with
IFRS
3
acquisition
accounting
requirements,
but
rather
wili
be
accounted
for
in
accordance
with
IFRS
2
"Share-based
Payments"
and
associated
IFRIC
guidance
in
the
Company's
Interim Financial
Statements
for
the

Statement
of
Directors'
responsibilities
The
Directors,
whose
names
and
functions
are
set
out
on
page
13,
are
responsible
for
preparing
the
annual
report
and
financial
statements
in
accordance
with applicable
laws and
regulations.
Company
law
requires
the
Directors
to
prepare
financial
statements
for
each
financial
year.
Under
that
law
the
Directors
have
prepared
the
Company's
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
UK-adopted
International
Accounting
Standards
in
conformity
with
the
requirements
of
the
Companies
Act
2006.
Under
company
law
the
Directors
must
not
approve
the
financial
statements
unless
they
are
satisfied
that
they
give
a
true
and
fair
view
of
the
state
of
affairs
of
the
Company
and
the profit
and
loss
of
the
Company
for
that
period.
The
Directors
take
responsibility
for
all
of
the information
drawn
up
and
made public
in
this
annual
report
and
financial
statements,
and
the
Directors
confirm
they
have
done
so
to
the
best
of
their
knowledge.
In
preparing
the
financial
statements
the
Directors
take
responsibility
for:
selecting
suitable
accounting
policies
and
then
applying
them
consistently;
making
judgements
and
accounting estimates
that
are
reasonable
and
prudent;
stating
whether
applicable
accounting
standards
have been
followed,
subject
to
any
material
departures
disclosed
and
explained
in
the
financial
statements;
preparing
the
management reports
which include
the
Strategic
Report,
Directors'
Report
and
Directors'
Remuneration
Report
along
with
the
financial
risk
management
section
of
the
notes
to
the
accounts,
which
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Companies
Act
2006;
and
preparing
the
financial
statements
on
the
going
concern
basis
unless
it
is
inappropriate
to
presume
that
the
Company
will
continue
in
business.
In
addition,
the
Directors
take
responsibility for
keeping
adequate
accounting
records
that
are
sufficient
to
show
and
explain
the
Company's
transactions
and
disclose
with
reasonable
accuracy
at
any
time
a
fair,
balanced
and
understandable
view
of
the
financial
position
of
the
Company,
and
for
safeguarding
the
assets
of
the
Company
and
hence
for
taking
reasonable
steps
for
the
prevention
and
detection
of
fraud
and
other
irregularities.

Corporate
governance
The
Directors
acknowledge
the
importance
of
high
standards
of
corporate
governance
and
intend,
given
the
Company's
size
and
the
constitution
of
the
Board,
to
comply
with
the
principles
set
out
in
the
QCA
Corporate
Governance
Code
(2023)
(the
"QCA
Code").
The
QCA
Code

quoted
companies
and

As
a

the
Company
is
not
required
to
comply
with
the
provisions
of
the
UK
Corporate
Governance
Code
published

Council.
Nevertheless,
the
Directors
are
committed
to
maintaining
high
standards
of
corporate
governance
and
have,
so
far
as
is
practicable
given
the
Company's
size
and
nature,
voluntarily
complied
with
certain
aspects
of
the
QCA
Code.
The
QCA Code
states
that
a
company
should
have
at
least
two
independent
non-executive
directors.
For
the
period
under
review,
the
Company
had
two
independent
Non-Executive
Directors
being
Mr
Allan
Rowley
and
Mr
Aamir
Quraishi.
Upon re-admission,
the
Company
appointed
two
additional
Non-Executive Directors,
Mr
Nigel
Collins
and
Mr
Kazuo
Ichimura.
A
full
review
of
the
operation
of
the

processes
and
procedures
against
the
QCA
Code
is
being
undertaken
following
completion
of
the

taking
into
account
the

a
Remuneration
Committee
and
a
Related

Committee,
each
with
formally

and

The
Company

meetings,
with
additional

issues which
require
the
attention
of
the
Board
arise.
The Board
is
responsible
for
the
management
of
the
business
of
the
Company,
setting
the
strategic
direction
of
the
Company
and
establishing
the
policies
of
the
Company.
It
is
the
Directors'
responsibility
to

position
of
the
Company
and
monitor
the
business
and
affairs
of
the
Enlarged
Group,
on
behalf
of
the
shareholders,
to
whom
they
are

The
primary
duty
of
the

is
to
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
Company
at
all
times. The Board
also
addresses
issues
relating
to
internal
control
and
the
Company's
approach
to
risk
management
and
has formally
adopted
an
anti-corruption
and
bribery
policy
as
well
as a
Share

The
Directors
monitor the
integrity
of
the
interim

and

relating
to
the

In

of
the

are
satisfied

THE
MEMBERS
OF
MOH
NIPPON
PLC
(FORMERLY
BOWEN

FOR THE
YEAR
ENDED
30 APRIL
2024
Opinion
We
have
audited the
financial
statements
of
Bowen
Fintech
Plc (the
'Company')
for
the
year
ended
30
April
2024
which
comprise
the
Statement
of
Comprehensive
Income,
the
Statement
of
Financial
Position,
the,
the
Statement
of
Changes
in
Equity,
the
Statement
of
Cash
Flows and
notes to
the
financial
statements,
including
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies. The
financial
reporting
framework
that
has
been applied
in
their
preparation
is
applicable
law
and
(JK-adopted
international
accounting
standards
CIAS').
In
our
opinion
the
financial
statements:
give
a
true
and
fair
view
of
the
state
of
the
Company's
affairs
as
at
30
April
2024
and
of
its
loss
for
the
year
then
ended;
have been
properly
prepared
in
accordance
with
UK-adopted
international
accounting
standards;
and
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
(I-JK)
(ISAs
(I-JK))
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
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
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.
Conclusions relating
to
going
concern
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.
Our
evaluation
of
the
Directors'
assessment
of
the
Company's
ability
to
continue
to
adopt
the
going
concern
basis
of
accounting
included
the
following
procedures:
The
going
concern
assessment
period used
by
the
Directors
was
at
least
12
months
from
the
date of
the
approval
of
the
financial
statements.
We
assessed the
appropriateness
of
the
approach,
assumptions
and
arithmetic
accuracy
of
the
model
used
by
management
when
performing
their
going
concern
assessment.
We
evaluated the
Directors'
assessment
of
the
Company's
ability
to
continue
as
a
going
concern.
In
testing
the
integrity
of
the
going
concern
model,
we
reviewed
and
challenged
the
underlying data
and
key
assumptions
used
to
make
the
assessment.
Additionally,
we
reviewed
and
considered
potential
downside
scenarios
and
the
resultant
impact
on
available
funds,
to
assess
the
reasonableness
of
economic
assum
ptions
on
the
Company's
liquidity
position.
Based
on
the work
we
have
performed,
we
have
not
identified
any
material
uncertainties
relating
to
events
or
conditions
that,
individually
or
collectively,
may
cast
significant
doubt
on
the
Company's
ability
to
continue
as
a
going
concern
for
a
period
of
at
least
twelve
months
from
when the
financial
statements
are
authorised
for
issue.
Our
responsibilities
and
the
responsibilities
of
the
Directors
with
respect to
going
concern
are
described
in
the
relevant
sections
of
this
report.

OF

NIPPON

(FORMERLY
BOWEN

FOR THE
YEAR
ENDED
30
APRIL 2024
Our
approach
to
the
audit
In
planning
our
audit,
we
determined materiality
and
assessed
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
in
the
financial
statements.
In
particular,
we
looked
at
where
the
Directors
made
subjective
judgements,
for
example
in
respect
of
significant
accounting
estimates. As
in
all
of
our
audits,
we
also
addressed
the
risk
of
management
override
of
internal
controls, including
evaluating
whether
there
was
evidence
of
bias
by
the
Directors
that
represented
a
risk
of
material
misstatement
due
to
fraud.
We
tailored
the
scope
of
our
audit
to
ensure
that
we
performed
sufficient
work
to
be able
to
issue
an
opinion
on
the
financial
statements
as a
whole,
taking
into
account
the
structure
of
the
Company,
the
accounting
processes
and
controls,
and
the
industry
in
which
it
operates.
Key
audit
matters
Key
audit
matters
are
those
matters
that,
in
our
professional
judgement,
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
we
identified
(whether
or
not
due
to
fraud),
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.
The
use
of
the
Going Concern
basis of
accounting
was
assessed
as
a
key
audit
matter
and
has already
been
covered
in
an
earlier
section
of
this
report.
The
other
key
audit
matter
identified
is
detailed
below:
Ke
audit
matter
Management
override of
controls
Management
override
of
controls
is
a
presumed
risk
of
fraud
under
the
International
Auditing
Standards.
Professional
standards
require
us
to
communicate
the
fraud
risk
from
management
override
of
controls
as
significant
because
management
is
typically
in
a
unique position
to
perpetrate
fraud
because
of
its
ability
to
manipulate
accounting
records
and
prepare
fraudulent
financial
statements
by
overriding
controls
that
otherwise
appear
to
be
operating
effectively.
Our application
of
materiality
How
our
work
addressed
this
matter
Our
audit
work
included:
Obtaining
a
list
of
manual
journals
entered
into
the
accounting
system
in
the
year
and
reviewing
a
sample
of
these
against
a
range
of
different
criteria.
Reviewing
post
year
end
journals
for
evidence
of
any
prior
year
transactions
not
included
within
the
financial
statements.
Reviewing
management
estimations,
judgements
and
significant
accounting
policies
for
undue
bias
in
the
financial
statements.
Develop
an
understanding
of
the
internal
financial
procedures,
systems
and
controls
in
place
across
the
Com
an
.
We
apply
the
concept
of
materiality
both
in
planning
and
performing
our
audit,
and
in
evaluating
the
effect
of
misstatements.
We
consider
materiality
to
be
the
magnitude
by
which
misstatements,
including
omissions,
could
influence
the
economic
decisions
of
reasonable
users
that
are
taken
on
the
basis
of
the
financial
statements.

FOR THE

APRIL
2024
In
order
to
reduce
to
an
appropriately
low
level
the
probability that
any
misstatements
exceed
materiality,
we
use
a
lower
materiality
ievel,
performance
materiality,
to
determine
the
extent
of
testing
needed.
Importantly,
misstatements
below
these
levels
will
not
necessarily
be
evaluated
as
immaterial
as
we
also
take
account
of
the
nature
of
identified
misstatements,
and
the
particular
circumstances
of
their
occurrence,
when
evaluating
their
effect
on
the
financial
statements
as
a
whole.
We
consider
loss
before
tax
to
be
the
most
significant
determinant
of
the
Company's
financiai
performance
used
by the
users
of
the
financial
statements.
We
have based
materiality
for
the
Company
on
5%
of
loss
before
tax.
Overall
materiality
for
the
Company
was
therefore
set
at
€10,600.
Performance
materiality
was
set at
a
threshold
between
50%
and
80%
of
materiality
depending
on
the
determined
audit
risk
of
the
financial
statement
area
in
question.
Significant
audit
risk
areas
(management
override)
were
audited
to
a
50%
performance
materiality
threshold
with
remaining
areas
subject
to
a
80%
performance
materiality
threshold.
We
agreed
with the Audit
Committee
that
we
would
report
on
all
differences
in
excess
of
5%
of
materiality
relating
to
the
financial
statements.
We
also
report
to
the
Audit
Committee
on
financial
statement
disclosure
matters
identified
when
assessing
the
overall
consistency
and
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
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
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.
In
connection
with
our
audit
of
the
financiai
statements,
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
audit
or
otherwise
appears
to
be
materially
misstated.
If
we
identify
such material
inconsistencies
or
apparent
materiai
misstatements,
we
are
required
to
determine
whether
there
is
a
material
misstatement
in
the
financial
statements
or
a
material
misstatement
of
the
other
information.
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

Matters
on
which
we
are
required
to
report
by
exception
In
the
light
of
the
knowledge
and
understanding
of
the
Company
and
its
environment
obtained
in
the
course
of
the
audit,
we
have
not
identified
material
misstatements
in
the
Strategic
Report,
the
Directors'
Report
or
the
Directors'
Remuneration
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
Company,
or

adequate
for
our
audit
have
not
been
received
from
branches
not
visited
by
us;
or
the
Company
financial
statements
are
not
in
agreement
with
the

or
certain

remuneration
specified

are
not
made;
or
we
have
not
received
all
the information
and
explanations
we
require
for
our
audit.
Responsibilities
of
Directors
As
explained
more
fully
in
the
Directors' responsibilities
statement
set
out
on
page
10
the
Directors
are
responsible
for
the
preparation
of
the
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
financial
statements,
the
Directors
are
responsible
for
assessing
the
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
company
or
to
cease
operations,
or
have
no
realistic alternative
but
to
do
so.
Those
charged
with
governance
are
responsible
for
overseeing
the
Company's
financial
reporting
process.
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
our
opinion
in
an
auditor's
report.
Reasonable
assurance
is
a
high level
of
assurance,
but
does
not
guarantee
that
an
audit
conducted
in
accordance
with
ISAs
(I-JK)
will
always
detect
a
material
misstatement
when
it
exists.
Misstatements
can
arise
from
fraud
or
error
and
are
considered
material
if,
individually
or
in
aggregate,
they
could
reasonably
be
expected
to
influence
the
economic
decisions
of
users
taken
on
the
basis
of
the
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:
enquiries
of
management,
including
obtaining
and
reviewing
supporting
documentation
concerning
the
Company's
policies
and
procedures
relating
to;
identifying,
evaluating
and
complying with
laws
and regulations and
whether
they
were
aware
of
any
instances
of
non-compliance;
detecting
to
and
responding
to
the
risks
of
fraud
and
whether
they
have
knowledge
of

suspected
or
alleged
fraud;
and
discussions
amongst
the
engagement team
regarding
how
and
where
fraud
might
occur
in
the
financial
statements
and
any
potential
indicators
of
fraud.
We
also
obtained
an
understanding
of
the
legal
and
regulatory
framework
within
which
the
Company
operates,
focusing
on
provisions
of
those
laws and
regulations
that
had
a
direct
effect
on
the determination
of
material
amounts
and
disclosures
included
within
the
financial
statements.
The
key laws
and
regulations
we
considered
in
this
context
included
the
UK
Companies
Act
and
IAS.
In
addition,
we
considered
provisions
of
other
laws and
regulations that do
not
have
a
direct effect
on
the
financial
statements
but
compliance
with
which
may
be
fundamental
to
the
Company
and
the
Company's
ability
to
operate
or
to
avoid
a
material penalty.
These included health
and
safety
regulations,
employment
iaw,
data
protection
regulations
and
general
trading
laws
in
the
UK.
As
a
result
of
these
procedures
we
consider
the
particular
area
that
was
susceptible
to
misstatement
due
to
fraud
was
in
respect
of
management
override
of
controls.
Our
procedures
to
respond
to
these
risks
identified
included
the
following:
reviewing
the
financial
statement
disclosures
and
testing
these
to
supporting
documentation
to
assess
compliance
with
provisions
of
relevant
laws
and
regulations
described
as
having
a
direct
effect
on
the
financial
statements;
enquiring with
management
concerning
actual
and
potential
litigation
ciaims;
performing
analytical
procedures
to
identify
any
unusual
or
unexpected relationships that
may
indicate
risks
of
material
misstatement due
to
fraud;
agreeing
investment
and
intangibie
valuations
to
supporting
documentation
and
recalculating;
reviewing
management
impairment
assessments
and
challenging
assumptions made
to
ensure
valuations
of
intangibles
and
investments
are
reasonable;
reviewing
board
minutes
and legal
and
professional
fees
during
the
year
and
any
subsequent
to
the
year
end
to
identify
any
potential
litigation
not
previously
disclosed;
in
addressing
the
risk
of
fraud
through
management
override
of
controls,
testing
the
appropriateness
of
journal
entries
and
other
adjustments
for
evidence
of
management
override/bias
and
agreeing
these
to
supporting
documentation;
and
assessing
whether
the
judgements
made
in
making
accounting
estimates
are
indicative
of
a
potential
bias
and
evaluating
the
rationale
of
any
significant
transactions that
are
deemed
unusual
or
outside
of
the
normal
course
of
the
Company's
operations.
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.

in
England
and
Wales
as
a

by shares
and
with Registered

United
Kingdom,
WC2H
9JQ.

Accounting policies
Basis
of
Preparation
The
audited
annual Financial
Statements
of
the
Company
have been
prepared
on
a
historical
cost
basis,
as
modified
by
the
revaluation
of financial
instruments
measured
at
fair
value
through
profit
or
loss,
or
otherwise
required
under
'AS.
The
Financial
Statements have
been
prepared
in
accordance
with
UK-adopted
international
accounting
standards
("IAS")
and
the
requirements
of
the
Companies
Act 2006.
During
the
period
under
review,
the
Company
was
not
engaged
in
any
activities
other
than
those
which
are
required
in
connection
with
the
selection,
structuring
and
completion
of
an
acquisition
in
a
target
business.
The
Financial
Statements
are
presented
in
Sterling
("E"),
which
is
the
Company's
functional
and
presentational
currency,
rounded
to
the
nearest
pound
except
where
specified.
The
Company
had
no
operations
and
therefore
no
segmental
information
is
presented.
The
following
accounting
policies
have
been applied
consistently
in
dealing
with
items which
are
considered
material
in
relation
to
the
Company's
Financial
Statements.
Going
concern
basis
of
preparation
The
Company's
Financial
Statements
have
been
prepared
on
a
going
concern
basis,
which
assumes
that
the
Company
will
continue
in
operational
existence
for
the
foreseeable
future.
In
undertaking
this
assessment,
the
Directors reviewed
working
capital
forecasts
for
a
minimum
of
12
months
from
the date
of
the
approval
of
these
Financial
Statements.
The
Company
has
based
the
going
concern
on
the
assumption
that
the
existing
cash,
including
the
amounts
available
after
the
acquisition
and
re-admission
are
sufficient
to
meet
the
working
capital
requirements
of
the
Company
for
the
foreseeable
future
as
the
Company.
The
Company
raised
gross
proceeds
of
€2
million
from
equity
fundraising
on
31 October
2022.
At
30
April
2024
the
Company
had
a
cash balance
of
El.5
million,
and
a
cash
balance
of
f 1.15
million
at
the
date
of
these
financial
statements.
As
a
result,
the
Directors
believe
that
the
going
concern
assumption
is
appropriate.
Any
potential future
cash
requirement
will
be
funded
using
through
the
issue
of
new
equity
or
debt.

FINANCIAL

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR
THE
YEAR
ENDED
30
APRIL 2024
Financial
liabilities
The
Company's
financial liabilities
include
borrowings, trade
and
other
payables. The
Company
does
not
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period
have
any
financial
liabilities
measured
at
fair
value
through profit
or
loss,
therefore
all
financiai liabilities
are
initially
measured
at
fair
value,
net
of
transaction
costs,
and
are
subsequently
measured
at
amortised
cost.
The
Company
recognises
an
equity
instrument
on any
contract
that
evidences
a
residual
interest
in
the
assets
of
the
Company.
Income
tax
Income
tax
for
the
year
comprises
current
tax
and
movements
in
deferred
tax
assets
and
liabilities.
Current
tax
and
movements
in
deferred
tax
assets
and
liabilities
are
recognised
in
profit
or
loss
except
to
the
extent
that
they
relate
to
items
recognised
in
other
comprehensive
income
or
directly
in
equity,
in
which
case
the
relevant
amounts
of
tax
are
recognised
in
other
comprehensive
income
or
directly
in
equity,
respectively.
Current
tax
is
the
expected
tax
payable
on
the
taxable
income
for
the
year,
using
tax
rates
enacted
or
substantively
enacted
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
and
any
adjustment
to
tax
payable
in
respect
of
previous
years.
Deferred
tax
assets
and
liabilities
arise
from
deductible
and
taxable
temporary
differences
respectively,
being
the
differences
between
the
carrying
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
for
financial
reporting
purposes
and
their
tax
bases.
Deferred
tax
assets
also
arise
from unused
tax
losses and
unused
tax
credits.
Current
tax
balances
and
deferred
tax
balances,
and
movements
therein,
are
presented
separately
from
each
other
and
are
not
offset.
Current
tax
assets
are
offset
against
current
tax
liabilities, and
deferred
tax
assets
against
deferred
tax
liabilities, if
the
Company
has
the
legally
enforceable
right
to
offset
current
tax
assets
against
current
tax
liabilities
and
the
following
additional
conditions
are
met:
in
the
case
of
current
tax
assets
and
liabilities,
the
Company
either
to
settle
on
a
net
basis,
or
to
realise
the
asset
and settle
the
liability
simultaneously;
or
in
the
case
of
deferred
tax
assets
and
liabilities, if
they
relate
to
income
taxes
levied
by
the
same
taxation
authority
on
either:
the
same
taxable
entity;
or
different
taxable
entities
which,
in
each
future
period
in
which
significant
amounts
of deferred
tax
iiabilities
or
assets
are
expected
to
be
settled
or
recovered
intend
to
realise
the
current
tax
assets
and
settle
the
current
tax
liabilities
on
a
net
basis
or
realise
and
settle
simultaneously.
Earnings
per
Ordinary
Share
The
Company
presents
basic and
diluted
earnings
per
share
data
for
its
Ordinary
Shares.
Basic
earnings
per
Ordinary
Share
is
calculated by
dividing
the
profit
or
loss
attributable
to
shareholders
by
the
weighted
average
number
of
Ordinary
Shares
outstanding
during
the
period. Diluted
earnings
per
Ordinary
Share
is
calculated
by
adjusting
the
earnings
and
number
of
Ordinary
Shares
for
the
effects
of
dilutive
potential
Ordinary
Shares.
Warrant
reserve
The
warrant
reserve
represents
the
cumulative
charge
to
the
statement
of
comprehensive
income,
from
the
fair
valuation
of
share
warrants
issued
to
the
holders
of
warrants.
Share
capital
and
reserves
Ordinary Shares
are
classified
as
equity.
Equity
represents
the
residual
interest
in
the
assets
of
the
Company
after
deducting
all
of
its
liabilities.
On
31
October
2022
the
Company
had
issued
shares
with
a
nominal
value
of
EO.OI
at
a
price
of
EO.04
and
the
excess
of
share
price
above
the
nominal
value
is
reported
as
Share
Premium.

THE

ENDED

APRIL
2024
Equity
Equity
is
classified
according
to
the
substance
of
the
contractual
arrangements
entered
into.
An
equity
instrument
is
any
contract
that
evidences
a
residual
interest
in
the
assets
of
the
Company
after
deducting
all
of
its
liabilities.
Equity
is
recorded
at
the
amount
of
proceeds
received,
net
of
issue
costs.
Share issue
costs
Share
issue
costs
have been incurred
in
relation
to
the
issue
of
the
Ordinary
Shares and
warrants.
Share
issue
costs
are
apportioned
to
shares
and
warrants
in
proportion
of
gross
proceeds
of
the
issue.
As
there
were no
proceeds
from
the
issue
of
warrants,
all
share
issue
costs
were
allocated
against
Share
Premium
Reserve.
Share-based
payments
(equity
settled)
The
grant
of
the
warrants
is
recognised
as
equity-settled
share-based
payments
under
IFRS
2.
Services
received
in
exchange
for
the
grant
of
any
share-based
payments
are
measured
by reference
to
the fair
value
of
the
instruments
at
the
grant
date
using
the
Black
Scholes
Option
pricing
model.
Share-based
payments
are
recognised
as
an
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Comprehensive
Income.
Critical
accounting estimates
and
judgements
in
preparing
the
Company
Financial
Statements,
the
Directors
are
required
to
make
judgements
on
how
to
apply
the
Company's
accounting
policies
and
make
estimates
about
the future.
The
scope
for
critical
judgements
or
estimates
relevant
to
the
year
under
review
has
been
limited
to
the
below:
Transaction
costs
The
Company
has
incurred
legal and
professional
fees
towards
services
relating
to
the
acquisition
of
MOH
and
re-admission
of
the enlarged
share
capital
of
the
Company
to
the
Main
Market
of
the
London
Stock Exchange.
The
Company
has
estimated
the
transaction
costs
to
be
accrued
and
applied
judgement
in
determining
that
the
costs
accrued
to
the
year-end
relate
to
the
acquisition
of
MOH
and
expensed
them.
Warrants
During
the
prior
year,
the
Company
issued share
warrants
to
founders
and
brokers.
Judgement
was
exercised
in
determining
the
treatment
of
the share
warrants
under
IFRS 2
as
equity-settled
share-based
payments.
IFRS
2
requires
an
expense
to
be recognised
at
the
grant
date
fair
value,
with
a
corresponding
increase
in
equity
over
the
vesting
period. The
Company
determined
that
the
grant
date
and
the
vesting
date
of
the
shares
was
immediate
on
issue
and
therefore the
fair
value
of
the
shares
as
at
that
date
was
recognised
in
full
in
the
Statement
of
Comprehensive
Income
as
a
share-based
payment
charge,
in
the
prior
year.
The
balance
shown
in
the
warrant
reserve
represents
management's
estimate
of
the
value
of
the
warrants
to
be
exercised
as
at
the
reporting date.
See
note
13
and

for
further
disclosures
relating
to
these
warrants.

On

but
these

as

Share-based

charge
and

reserve
In
the
prior
year,
the
Company
granted
8,000,000
warrants
to
founders
and
575,000
warrants
to
its
broker.
The
fair
value
of
the
warrants
was
calculated
using
the
Black
Scholes
pricing
model
and
was
determined
to
be
EO.014
for
warrants
exercisable
at
EO.04
per
share
and
EO.006
for
warrants
exercisable
at
EO.08
per
share.
The
total
number
of
warrants
expected
to
be
exercised
at
EO.04
per
share
was
4,575,000,
the
total
fair
value
of
which
at
EO.014
per
share
is
E64,050,
which
was
expensed
in
full
during
the
period. This
includes
E8,050
of
charges
that
relate
to
the
broker
warrants.
The
total
number
of
warrants
expected
to
be
exercised
at
f0.08
per
share
was
4,000,000,
the
total
fair
value
of
which
at
EO.006
per
share
is
E24,000,
which
was
expensed
in
full
during the
period.
Total
share-based
payment
charge
expensed
in
the
prior
year
was
E88,050
which
constitutes
the

warrant
reserve
included
in

After

14
Financial
instruments
The
Company's
financial
instruments
comprise
the trade
and
other
payables,
and
the
Director's
loan
which
was
repaid during
the
year.
The
Company's
accounting
policy
and
method
adopted,
including
the
criteria
for
recognition,
is
set
out
in
Note
2
"Accounting
policies"
to
the
Company
Financial Information.
The
Company
does
not
use
its
financial
instruments
for
speculative
purposes.
15
Financial
risk
management
The
Company
uses
basic
financial
instruments
only,
which
arise
directly
from
operations.
Financial
risk
factors
For
the
reporting
period,
the
Company
was
actively
seeking
investments
in
its
stated
role
as
special
purpose
acquisition
company
and had
only
one
asset,
being
its
cash
of
E
1,497,177.
As
such,
its
only
financial
risk
relates
to
the
financial
condition
and
credit
worthiness
of
the
bank.
The
Directors
have
concluded
that
they
represent
as
minimal
a
financial
risk
as
is
practicable.
There
is
a
liquidity
risk
relating
to
other
payables
and
accruals,
which
are
due
within
a
year.
The
Company
monitors
its
risk
of
a
shortage
of
funds
using
a
Cashflow
forecasting
tool
which
considers
the
maturity
of
both
its
financial
liabilities
and
financial
assets
and
projected
cashflows
from
any
other
activities.
The
maturity
profile
of
the
Company's
financial
liabilities
at
the
end
of
year,
based
on
the
contractual
undiscounted
cash
flows,
is
as
follows:
Within
1
year
or
on
demand
More
than
1
year
but
less
than
2
years
More
than

The
management
of
risk
is
a
fundamental
concern
of
the
Company's
management.
This
note
summarises
the
key
risks
to
the
Company
and
the
policies
and
procedures
put
in
place
by
management
to
manage
it.
a)
Market
risk
Market
risk
arises
from
the
Company's
use
of
interest-bearing
financial
instruments.
It
is
the
risk
that
the fair
value
or
future
cash
flows
of
a
financial
instrument
will fluctuate
because
of
changes
in
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk)
or
foreign
exchange
rates
(foreign
exchange
risk).

THE
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE
YEAR
ENDED

APRIL
2024
b)
interest
rate
risk
Interest
rate
risk
arises
from
increases
in
market
interest
rates
and
could
potentially
arise
from
the
use
of
bank
overdrafts. The
Company
had
no exposure
to
interest
rate
risk
at
30
April
2024.
c)
Foreign
exchange
risk
Foreign
exchange
risk
arises
from
adverse
movements
in
currency
exchange
rates.
The
Company,
which
had
during
the
year
to
30
April
2024
its
functional
currency
as
Pound
Sterling,
was
exposed
to
minimal
levels
of
foreign
exchange risk
during
the
period
as
it
did
not
generate
any
revenue
and
there
was
no
material
cost
in
any
other
currency.
Fair
values
The
Directors
have
assessed
that
the
fair
value
of
the
accruals
and
cash
approximates
their
carrying
amount.
