The Conygar Investment Company PLC

Interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2026

 

 

Summary

 

·    Net asset value ("NAV") increased in the period by £12.8 million to
£54.3 million equating to 91.6p per share (30 September 2025: 70.2p per
share). This includes a £15.1 million profit realised from the sale of the
Group's land holding in Rhosgoch, Anglesey net of operational, debt financing
and administrative costs.

 

·    The loan from Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), provided in connection
with the Winfield Court student accommodation at The Island Quarter in
Nottingham ("TIQ"), has been restructured to extend the final repayment date
until March 2027 with security for the extended loan to also now include the
food, beverage and events venue at The Island Quarter ("1 TIQ").

 

·    Bank borrowings decreased in the period by £9.4 million, following
the repayment and cancellation of the loan from ASK Partners and a part
repayment of the Barclays loan, to leave net bank borrowings of £38.7 million
at 31 March 2026.

 

·    Cash deposits were boosted in the period by the £18.4 million net
proceeds received from the sale of Rhosgoch, partly offset by £9.4 million of
bank loan repayments and the purchase of 2,457,684 ZDP shares at a cost of
£3.0 million. As at 31 March 2026, the Group had total cash deposits of £6.3
million, equating to 10.6p per share (30 September 2025: £3.2 million (5.3p
per share)).

 

·    Lettings at Winfield Court are progressing steadily for the upcoming
academic year as this student accommodation becomes more established.

 

·    Transfer completed in October 2025 of the operational management for
1 TIQ to Rhubarb Food Design ("Rhubarb") to enable the further expansion of
the food, beverage and events offering at TIQ.

Robert Ware, Chief Executive commented:

 

"Given the continuing geopolitical risk and macroeconomic volatility, we
anticipate a period of hesitation for UK real estate, the extent of which
depends on any further conflict escalation and the resultant longer-term
impact on energy costs. However, the 2026 real estate landscape is
characterized by resilience, with the industry navigating a "new normal" of
uncertainty.

 

With investors prioritising high quality and sustainable investments,
alternative capital sources filling the funding gap left by traditional
institutional investment, and UK residential and commercial property values
supported by a softer development pipeline, we are optimistic that
opportunities will evolve over the coming years which should enable us to
maximise the returns from TIQ."

Chairman's and Chief Executive's statement

Progression and market update

After the numerous economic shocks in recent years, 2026 began with a hint of
cautious optimism that the UK property market might be turning a corner.
Inflation and interest rates were on a downward trajectory and investors
beginning to transact. However, the Middle East conflict has once again
heightened uncertainty within the global markets causing investors to adopt a
"wait-and-see" approach.

 

Against this backdrop we have focussed our attention, during the first half of
this financial year, principally on stabilising the ongoing activities of the
Group, whilst continuing to seek out opportunities to enable the further
advancement of our mixed-use development site at TIQ. Cash deposits have
increased from £3.2 million at 30 September 2025 to £6.3 million at 31 March
2026 and total borrowings, including the ZDP shares, have reduced by more than
£12 million to £41.5 million at 31 March 2026.

 

Results summary

The Group realised a profit in the six months to 31 March 2026 of £12.8
million. This was substantially derived from the profit achieved on sale of
the Group's land holding in Rhosgoch net of operational, debt financing and
administrative costs.

 

Rhosgoch was sold in November 2025 for gross proceeds of £18.5 million, to
Stena Line Ports (UK) Limited, to realise a profit in the current period of
£15.1 million, in addition to the £0.8 million valuation uplift reported for
this asset in the prior year.

 

Cash deposits and debt financing

The sale of Rhosgoch generated net cash proceeds of £18.4 million. These have
been partly utilised to enable the repayment of £3.9 million of the Barclays
loan, provided in connection with Winfield Court, and fully repay the £5.4
million loan from ASK to leave the TIQ undeveloped land, previously provided
as security for the ASK loan, now unencumbered. In addition, the Group
acquired from third party investors approximately 50 per cent of the 5 million
placed ZDP shares for £3 million, being the accrued capital entitlement at
the date of purchase. The remaining cash deposits of £6.3 million are to be
applied in support of the ongoing operations of the Group.

 

In addition to the part repayment of the Barclays development loan, the
restructuring of this facility was completed in March 2026 to extend the final
repayment date until March 2027. The revised terms include a continuation of
the total facility at £38.8 million and a reduction in the loan to value
("LTV") covenant from 62 per cent to a maximum of 60 per cent. This extension
will enable the further letting and stabilisation of Winfield Court which, in
addition to 1 TIQ, provides security for the loan.

At the date of this report, the Group remains compliant with all the covenants
as set out in the Barclays facility agreement and ZDP listing document.

 

TIQ

At Winfield Court, student lettings for the 2026 - 2027 academic year are
steadily progressing as we seek an uplift to the 81 per cent occupancy
achieved for the previous academic year. Notwithstanding our progress in that
regard, the outlook for purpose-built student accommodation ("PBSA") is
challenging. The combined impact of increasing incentives, affordability
constraints and the much-publicised reduction in overseas students attending
UK universities is weighing on occupancy.  However, the underlying
fundamentals for PBSA remain relatively strong such that our creative and
front-loaded incentive packages combined with recent supply constraints,
derived in Nottingham from construction costs currently exceeding investment
values, should support the returns from and investment values for this asset
class over the coming year.

 

Elsewhere at TIQ

At 1 TIQ, full management control, including the direct employment of the
local operational team, was granted to Rhubarb for an initial ten-year term
commencing on 1 October 2025. Rhubarb are being remunerated by way of a
revenue sharing arrangement, which as a replacement for the former management
team, is expected to be cost neutral in the short term. Cost savings and
increased revenue generation are envisaged over time by way of the improved
purchasing power of the Rhubarb procurement team and their extensive
experience in the hospitality sector. However, the Chancellor's decision to
materially increase both the minimum wage and business rates, in addition to
the earlier and substantial uplift in employer's national insurance
contributions, continue to provide significant challenges to an already
stretched hospitality sector.

 

As a result of these changed arrangements, the restaurant and events income
and associated operational and administrative costs at 1 TIQ are no longer
separately reported within the income statement but rather reported, as the
Group's entitlement to a profit share. For the six months to 31 March 2026,
the Group has recognised a loss of £0.1 million from 1 TIQ, being the costs
associated with transferring the arrangements to Rhubarb, with the extent of
any profit share for the current financial year to be better considered once
the summer events season is further advanced.

 

Following Rhubarb's appointment, arrangements are also being progressed for
the expansion of the current offering at 1 TIQ to incorporate both a roof top
terrace and improved events provision. Furthermore, to drive revenue growth
and mitigate the high operational costs at TIQ we are looking at options,
including the possible use of the existing warehouses, to increase the
capacity for our well attended events and would hope to have further news in
that regard over the coming year.

 

Valuation

The fair value of TIQ, at 31 March 2026, has been considered by the Board by
reference to any changes in the assumptions set out in the reported 30
September 2025 Knight Frank valuation, progression of the project and the
recoverability of costs incurred since that date. During the period, no
planning permissions were granted or developments advanced and the cash
outlays have been minimal.

 

Whilst the increase in energy costs, resulting from the conflict in Iran,
could impact commercial property returns, by way of either weaker demand and
rental growth and / or higher interest rates putting upward pressure on
yields, providing the conflict is relatively short-lived we are hopeful that
the impact on values will be small.

 

Furthermore, the results achieved in the period from the restaurant and events
operations at 1 TIQ are substantially in line with the prior year, and
lettings at Winfield Court for the upcoming academic year, whilst progressing
steadily, will only be confirmed later in the year. As a result of this
inherent uncertainty, the fair value for TIQ at 31 March 2026 has prudently
been maintained, in line with the 30 September 2025 Knight Frank valuation, at
£89.5 million.

 

Outlook

Given the continuing geopolitical risk and macroeconomic volatility, we
anticipate a period of hesitation for UK real estate, the extent of which
depends on any further conflict escalation and the resultant longer-term
impact on energy costs. However, the 2026 real estate landscape is
characterized by resilience, with the industry navigating a "new normal" of
uncertainty.

 

With investors prioritising high quality and sustainable investments,
alternative capital sources filling the funding gap left by traditional
institutional investment, and UK residential and commercial property values
supported by a softer development pipeline, we are optimistic that
opportunities will evolve over the coming years which should enable us to
maximise the returns from TIQ.

Financial review

 

Net asset value

 

During the six months ended 31 March 2026, the Group's NAV increased by £12.8
million to £54.3 million (31 March 2025: £63.8 million; 30 September 2025:
£41.6 million). The primary gains in the period were a £15.1 million profit
from the sale of Rhosgoch, net income from the Group's operational assets of
£1.2 million and £0.6 million of property fair value adjustments. These
gains were partly offset by £1.9 million of administrative costs, including
£0.8 million of depreciation charges for the Group's property, plant and
equipment, £1.7 million of debt financing costs and a corporation tax charge
of £0.7 million.

 

Cash flow and financing

 

At 31 March 2026, the Group had cash deposits of £6.3 million and net
borrowings, including the accrued capital entitlement of the ZDP shares, of
£41.5 million (31 March 2025: cash of £7.0 million and net borrowings of
£59.7 million; 30 September 2025: cash of £3.2 million and net borrowings of
£53.6 million).

 

The cash deposits of the Group have increased in the period by £3.1 million.
Net proceeds of £18.4 million were received from the sale of Rhosgoch. This
cash inflow was offset by £1.4 million of debt servicing costs, £9.3 million
of bank loan repayments, £3.0 million to purchase circa 2.5 million ZDP
shares, £1.4 million of net operating and administrative costs and £0.2
million of 1 TIQ plaza improvement works.

 

As set out in the Chairman's and Chief Executive's statement, the Barclays
loan restructuring completed in March 2026 to extend the final repayment date
until 31 March 2027. Security for the loan is provided by Winfield Court and 1
TIQ with the loan to value covenant capped at 60%.

 

In October 2023, the Group placed 5 million ZDP shares at a price of £1.00
each. The ZDP shares have a life of five years and a final capital entitlement
of 153.86 pence payable on 4 October 2028. In January 2026, the Group
purchased 2,457,684 of those ZDP shares from third party investors to leave
2,542,316 ZDP shares remaining held outside of the Group.

 

As at the date of this report the Group remains compliant with all the
covenants as set out in the Barclays loan facility and the ZDP shares listing
document.

With effect from 1 September 2025, the Group transferred the operational
management of 1 TIQ to Rhubarb. Under the new arrangements, the Group will, if
applicable, recognise a profit share through the income statement rather than
separately reporting, turnover, operating and administrative costs.

 

Administrative expenses

 

The administrative expenses for the period ended 31 March 2026 were £1.9
million, including £0.8 million of depreciation charges in connection with
the Group's property, plant and equipment assets (period ended 31 March 2025:
£2.7 million; year ended 30 September 2025: £5.3 million). The Board
continues to closely monitor these costs and will look to put into place
arrangements for their further reduction.

 

Taxation

 

Corporation tax of £0.7 million is projected to be payable for the current
year (period ended 31 March 2025: £nil; year ended 30 September 2025: £nil).
The current tax charge has been calculated on the profits projected to be
realised in the current year, primarily from the sale of Rhosgoch, after
allowing for available tax losses.

 

As a result of writing down the value of the properties and investment
properties under construction in the prior year no provisions are currently
required for deferred tax.

(1)   Development and trading properties are stated at the lower of cost and
net realisable value.

(2)   The Group's landholding at Rhosgoch was sold in November 2025 for net
proceeds of £18.4 million, to Stena Line Ports (UK) Limited, to realise a
profit in the current period of £15.1 million.

(3)   In September 2024, the Group settled a claim for unpaid rent due from
one of its tenants whereby the arrears outstanding of £0.34 million were
settled by way of a transfer to the Company of a boatyard and surrounding land
adjoining our formerly owned development site in Holyhead. The boatyard is
operational, currently storing circa 120 boats, and generating gross annual
rents, before operational costs, of approximately £200,000 per annum. As part
of the settlement agreement, the Group has granted a 3-year lease of the
boatyard, at a peppercorn rent, to the same tenant whereby the funds generated
over the 3-year term will be utilised by the tenant in the removal and
clean-up of previously damaged pontoons. On expiry of the lease, the Company
will take occupation of and receive the full benefit of the future income
generated from the boatyard.

(4)   The Group disposed of its development land and adjoining seabed at
Holyhead Waterfront to Stena for gross proceeds of £6.25 million in March
2025. This resulted in a profit of £6.2 million being realised in the prior
year.

(5)   The site occupied by the Virgin Active gym at TIQ was sold in
September 2025 for net proceeds, after sales fees and rental top up payments,
of £6.5 million to realise a loss in the prior year of £1.0 million.

 

Going concern

 

The Group's liquidity and cash flow forecasts, looking ahead up to two years,
are considered at each Board meeting along with a review of tenant covenants
and rental collection performance. The Group has committed, and expects to
further commit, substantial amounts of cash to progress its mixed-use
development project at TIQ. However, it will always ensure that such
commitments are limited to the extent of its available resources. Furthermore,
to continue with the long-term progression of this project, the Group will
need to either raise substantial amounts as debt, from joint ventures or asset
sales. Whilst no arrangements in this regard are in place at the date of
signing these interim financial statements, discussions continue on various
fronts.

 

As at the date of this report, the Group remains compliant with the covenants
set out in the Barclays loan and the ZDP shares listing document. However, as
the restructured £38.8 million Barclays loan will expire on 31 March 2027,
the Directors will need to, over the coming year, further extend the existing
loan, arrange alternative debt or equity financing or sell property assets to
enable its repayment. Operations are currently being explored in this regard,
for which a positive outcome is anticipated as a result of the further
stabilisation of Winfield Court.

 

Furthermore, the sale of Rhosgoch in November 2025 significantly boosted the
working capital of the Group for the next two years, enabled both the
repayment of £9.3 million of the bank loans and purchase of approximately 50
per cent of the placed ZDP shares.

 

As such, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has, at
present, and will obtain, as required, adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for at least twelve months and so for this reason, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial
statements.

2026 and the six-month period ended 31 March 2025 has been reviewed but not
audited and does not constitute full financial statements within the meaning
of section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The financial information for the year ended 30 September 2025 does not
constitute the Group's statutory accounts for that period, but it is derived
from those accounts. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 September 2025
have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. Saffery LLP reported on
those accounts, their report was unqualified and did not contain statements
under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The board of directors approved the above results on 14 May 2026.

4.    Segmental information

 

       IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" requires the identification of the
Group's operating segments which are defined as being discrete components of
the Group's operations whose results are regularly reviewed by the Board. The
Group divides its business into the following segments:

 

·    Properties held for capital appreciation, rental income or both; and,

·    Development properties, which include sites and developments under
construction held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

·    Food, beverage and events operations up until 31 August 2025.

·    Other, which includes items that do not fall into any one particular
segment but are instead applicable to the Group as a whole, including cash
balances and the ZDP shares.

With effect from 1 September 2025, the Group transferred the operational
management of 1 TIQ to Rhubarb. Under the new arrangement, the Group will, if
applicable, report a share of profits rather than recognising turnover and
incurring operating expenses directly. The 1 TIQ asset remains owned by the
Group and continues to be depreciated in accordance with IAS 16. Previously, 1
TIQ was reported as a separate operating segment. Following the change, which
took effect from 1 September 2025, any profits derived from 1 TIQ will be
included within the "other" operations segment.

Current tax

 

The current tax charge has been calculated on the profits projected to be
realised in the current year, primarily from the sale of Rhosgoch, after
allowing for available tax losses.

 

Deferred tax

 

The Directors have assessed the potential deferred tax liability of the Group
in respect of chargeable gains that would be payable if the investment
properties were sold at their reported values at each period end. Based on the
unrealised chargeable gain of £nil at 31 March 2026, 30 September 2025 and 31
March 2025 no deferred tax liability has been recognised.

 

The Group will recognise a deferred tax asset for tax losses, held by group
undertakings, where the Directors believe it is probable that such an asset
will be recovered. No deferred tax assets were recognised in any of the
periods set out in this interim report.

 

7.   Dividends

 

No dividends will be paid in respect of the six-month period ended 31 March
2026 and none were paid in the six-month period ended 31 March 2025 or the
year ended 30 September 2025.

 

8.   Earnings per share

 

Earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary
shareholders of the Company for the period ended 31 March 2026 of £12,759,000
(period ended 31 March 2025: profit of £2,698,000; year ended 30 September
2025: loss of £19,548,000) divided by the weighted average number of shares
in issue throughout each period of 59,638,588. There are no diluting amounts
in either the current or prior periods.

The Group's investment in property comprises the restaurant and events venue
at 1 TIQ and the Winfield Court student accommodation.

 

Land and buildings are stated, at each balance sheet date, at revalued amounts
less any depreciation or impairment losses subsequently accumulated. Land is
not depreciated. Depreciation on revalued buildings is recognised using the
straight-line basis and results in the carrying amount, less the residual
value, being expensed through the income statement over their estimated useful
lives of 50 years.

 

As set out in the Chairman's and Chief Executive's statement, with student
lettings progressing steadily at Winfield Court, returns from 1 TIQ performing
as anticipated and the current uncertainty around the macroeconomic outlook,
the fair values for Winfield Court and 1 TIQ, as at 31 March 2026, have been
maintained, in line with the 30 September 2025 Knight Frank valuation, at £65
million and £6.75 million respectively.

 

As at 30 September 2025, Winfield Court and 1 TIQ were valued by Knight Frank
LLP in their capacity as external valuer. The valuations were prepared on a
fixed fee basis, independent of the property value and undertaken in
accordance with RICS Valuation - Global Standards on the basis of fair value,
supported by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar
properties. They assumed a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's
length transaction and reflected usual deductions in respect of purchaser's
costs and SDLT as applicable at the valuation date. The independent valuer
made various assumptions including future rental and other income, operational
costs and the appropriate discount rate or yield.

During the current period and prior year, the Group acquired plant, machinery
and office equipment required to operate the restaurant, beverage and events
venue at 1 TIQ and provide gym equipment for Winfield Court.

 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of these assets, over
their estimated useful economic lives, using the straight-line method at 25%
per annum.

 

10. Investment properties under construction

Investment properties under construction comprise freehold land and buildings
at TIQ which are held for current or future development as investment
properties and reported in the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Valuations of the Group's investment properties under construction are
inherently subjective as they are based on assumptions which may not prove to
be accurate and which, as a result, are subject to material uncertainty. This
is particularly true for TIQ given its scale, lack of comparable evidence and
the early-stage position of this substantial development. As such, relatively
small changes to the underlying assumptions of key parameters, such as rental
levels, net initial yields, construction costs, finance costs and void periods
can have a significant impact both positively and negatively on the resulting
valuation as evidenced in the prior year.

 

As set out in the Chairman's and Chief Executive's statement, the reported
fair value of TIQ as at 31 March 2026 has been provided by the Board by
reference to any changes in the assumptions set out in the reported 30
September 2025 valuation provided by Knight Frank LLP, progression of the
project and the recoverability of costs incurred since that date. During the
period, no planning permissions were granted or developments advanced and the
cash outlays in respect of the project have been minimal.

 

Whilst there remains significant uncertainty, the assumptions, when appraised
as a whole, are not currently considered by the Board to be materially
different to those envisaged as at 30 September 2025. As such, the fair value
at 31 March 2026 for the TIQ undeveloped land has been maintained at £17.75
million.

 

In preparing their 30 September 2025 valuation, Knight Frank utilised market
and site-specific data, their own extensive knowledge of the real estate
sector, professional judgement and other market observations as well as
information provided by the Company's executive directors. The resulting
models and assumptions therein were also reviewed for overall reasonableness
by the Conygar Board. Inevitably in a complex model like this, and as noted
above, variations in assumptions can lead to widely differing values.

 

The Knight Frank LLP valuation at 30 September 2025 was prepared on a fixed
fee basis, independent of the property value and undertaken in accordance with
RICS Valuation - Global Standards on the basis of fair value, supported by
reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. It
assumed a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction
and reflected usual deductions in respect of purchaser's costs and SDLT as
applicable at the valuation date. The independent valuer made various
assumptions including future rental income, anticipated void costs and the
appropriate discount rate or yield.

 

The fair value of TIQ has been determined using an income capitalisation
technique whereby contracted rent and market rental values are capitalised
with a market capitalisation rate. This technique is consistent with the
principles in IFRS 13 and uses significant unobservable inputs, such that the
fair value has been classified in all periods as Level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13. For TIQ, the key unobservable inputs are the
net initial yields, construction costs, rental income rates, construction
financing costs and expiry void periods. Principal sensitivities of
measurement to variations in the significant unobservable outputs are that
decreases in net initial yields, construction costs, financing costs and void
periods will increase the fair value whereas reductions to rental income rates
would decrease the fair value.

 

The historical cost of the Group's investment properties under construction as
at 31 March 2026 was £43,423,000 (31 March 2025: £43,344,000; 30 September
2025: £43,385,000).

 

11. Development and trading properties

1.     On 7 November 2025, the Group completed the sale of its land
holding at Rhosgoch in Anglesey to Rhosgoch Property Ltd, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Stena Line (UK) Ltd for gross proceeds of £18.5 million to
realise a profit in the period of £15.1 million.

 

2.     On 10 September 2024, the Group settled a claim for unpaid rent due
from one of its tenants whereby the arrears outstanding of £0.33m were
settled by way of a transfer to the Company of a boatyard and surrounding land
in Holyhead. The boatyard is operational, currently storing circa 120 boats,
and generating gross rents, before operational costs, of approximately
£200,000 per annum. As part of the settlement agreement, the Group has
granted a 3 year lease of the boatyard, at a peppercorn rent, to the same
tenant whereby the funds generated over that 3 year period will be utilised by
the tenant to repair previously damaged pontoons. On expiry of the 3 year
lease, the Company will take occupation of and receive the full benefit of the
income generated from the boatyard.

 

Development and trading properties are reported in the balance sheet at the
lower of cost and net realisable value. The net realisable value of properties
held for development requires an assessment of the underlying assets using
property appraisal techniques and other valuation methods. Such estimates are
inherently subjective as they are made on assumptions which may not prove to
be accurate and which can only be determined in a sales transaction.

totalled £nil (period ended 31 March 2025: £597,000; year ended 30 September
2025: £1,414,000).

 

With effect from 1 September 2025, the operational management of 1 TIQ was
transferred to Rhubarb. Under the new arrangement, the Group earns a share of
profits rather than recognising turnover and incurring operating expenses
directly.

 

13. Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value,
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method, less any impairment. Impairment is calculated using an expected
credit loss model.

 

Trade receivables, as at 31 March 2026, includes £1.5 million of rent charged
annually in advance, to the tenants at Winfield Court, to be collected by
instalments over the current academic year (31 March 2025: £0.9 million; 30
September 2025: £3.3 million).

 

Other receivables, as at 31 March 2026, includes £0.6 million of VAT due from
HMRC expected to be repaid in May 2026.

 

14. Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value, and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method.

 

Deferred income, as at 31 March 2026, includes £1.9 million of deferred rent,
charged annually in advance to the tenants at Winfield Court, and collected by
4 instalments over the current academic year (31 March 2025: £1.2 million; 30
September 2025: £4.3 million).

 

15. Provision for liabilities and charges

 

The Group was party to a services agreement in connection with TIQ. The date
for calculation of any fee payable under this agreement was extended until 30
June 2025. However, the reduction in value of the Group's property assets
resulted in no amount being payable and there has been no further extension to
the calculation date. As a result, no provisions are reported for the Group
for any of the reporting periods.

On 31 March 2026, the development loan provided by Barclays was restructured
to extend the final repayment date until 31 March 2027. The restructuring
retains the loan facility at £38.8 million, following a £3.9 million part
repayment in December 2025, and caps the loan to value covenant at no more
than 60%. This will enable the further letting and stabilisation of Winfield
Court, the student accommodation development at TIQ, which in addition to 1
TIQ, the food, beverage and events venue in Nottingham, provides security for
the loan.

In November 2025, the remaining £5.4 million loan from ASK was fully repaid
and the loan facility cancelled.

 

At the date of this report, the Group remains compliant with all the Barclays
debt covenants and will look to progress the repayment or refinancing of this
facility, as required, later in the year.

On 3 October 2023, the Group placed 5 million ZDP shares, at a price of £1.00
per ZDP share (the "issue price"). The ZDP shares have a life of five years
and a final capital entitlement of 153.86 pence per ZDP share payable on 4
October 2028 (the "ZDP repayment date"), equivalent to a gross redemption
yield of 9.0 per cent. per annum on the issue price.

On 27 January 2026, 2,457,684 out of the 5 million placed ZDP shares,
including 746,658 previously subscribed for by the Directors, were acquired by
the Group at a price of £1.221 per ZDP share, being the accrued capital
entitlement of each ZDP share as at the date of purchase.

The accrued capital entitlement of the ZDP shares was 124.05p as at 31 March
2026.

The ZDP shares were admitted to the Official List of The International Stock
Exchange on 4 October 2023. The ISIN number of the ZDP Shares is GB00BMGBHD21
and the SEDOL code is BMH6RG9.

 

The fair value of the ZDP shares at 31 March 2026, based on the quoted bid
price at that date, was £3,102,000.

 

The ZDP shares do not carry the right to vote at general meetings of the
Company, although they carry the right to vote as a class on certain proposals
which would be likely to materially affect their position.

 

In line with the requirement, as set out in the listing document, the ZDP
cover was 2.3 times as at 31 March 2026.

Independent review report to The Conygar Investment Company PLC

 

Conclusion

 

We have been engaged to review the condensed set of financial statements of
The Conygar Investment Company PLC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ('the
Group') in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31 March
2026 which comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated balance sheet,
consolidated cash flow statement and the related notes.

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 31 March 2026 is not prepared, in
all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting
Standard 34 and the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.

 

Basis for conclusion

 

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (ISRE) 2410 (UK), 'Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued for use in the
United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making
inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us
to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.

 

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are
prepared in accordance with UK adopted IFRSs. The condensed set of financial
statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting".

 

Conclusions relating to going concern

 

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed
in an audit as described in the basis for conclusion section of this report,
nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have
inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that
management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern
that are not appropriately disclosed.

 

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with
ISRE 2410 (UK), however future events or conditions may cause the Company or
Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

Directors' responsibilities

 

The Directors are responsible preparing the half-yearly financial report in
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial
Reporting' as adopted in the UK and AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.

 

In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the Directors are responsible
for assessing the Group and 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.

 

Our responsibility

 

In reviewing the half-yearly financial report, we are responsible for
expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our
conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less
extensive than audit procedures, as described in the basis for conclusion
paragraph of this report.

 

Use of our report

 

This report is made solely to the parent company in accordance with the terms
of our engagement. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to
the parent company those matters we are required to state to it in this report
and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the parent company for
our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
