Chairman and Chief Executive's Report

 

We are pleased to present the half year report for Intuitive Investments Group
plc, which covers the six month period ended 31 March 2025.

Investment in Hui10

 

In October 2023, IIG invested in Hui10, a technology company involved in the
digital transformation of the Chinese national lotteries. This investment
signalled a tightening of the Company's investment outlook going forward and
as such the commentary in this report focuses on the significant developments
Hui10 have achieved in the period.

Hui10 is unlocking the expansion of the Chinese lottery through increasing the
number of people playing lottery from the current 10% participation level to a
target of more than 30%. The current lottery in China delivers sub industry
benchmark levels of customer participation resulting from its outdated method
of play and the significant sub scale availability of locations to play the
lottery throughout China. The total addressable market in China is over
1.1billion and as such the successful delivery of the Hui10 strategy will
bring over 300 million users to the lottery via the Hui10 platform, while at
the same time establishing one of the largest retail franchises in China
through the development of the existing lottery only store network.

The Hui10 strategy for expansion is focused into two main areas:

Lucky World which is connecting and digitally enabling the existing lottery
shop network

Lucky World transforms China's existing 200,000 dedicated lottery only shops,
into digitally enabled, multifunctional retail community hubs:

 

•     Providing the platform digitally enabling the existing shops for
the future of paperless lottery play

•     Opening TEAM CHINA flagship/branded stores to accelerate expansion
into every Province

•     Creating one of the largest omnichannel commerce platforms in
China to expand the product offering through domestic and international
supplier commercial partnerships

•     Delivering increased lottery sales, a more diversified revenue
while driving increasing footfall and profitability for both the shop owner
and Lucky World.

Increasing Consumer Access to the Lottery via UGO - Expanding the Lottery
footprint across China

To drive increased participation, Hui10 is expanding the number of lottery
play enabled locations in China

 

•     Initially focusing on UGO through CCIC/Ministry of Transport to
enable over 1m taxis/transport terminals throughout China

•     Working with CFCA and UnionPay to open paperless and mobile play
to the current geographically excluded market following regulatory approval

•     Extending lottery reach by adding 1m new locations in Grocery,
Petrol stations and other appropriate locations throughout China

•     Delivering increased customer access and broader demographics of
players to the lottery, in a modern paperless play format to drive both
increased lottery participation and lottery revenues, with increased control,
customer welfare and auditability.

The Hui10 investment therefore offers IIG shareholders a significant growth
opportunity over the next five years.

 

Since the IIG investment, significant progress has been made in the delivery
of Hui10's strategy, which includes:

 

 ●    Significant progress for Hui10 since investment in October 2023:

      ○                                        Exclusive contracts with the Ministry of Finance approved China Financial

                                        Certification Authority (CFCA) wherein CFCA provides the e-ticket security
                                               protocols in compliance with Ministry of Finance requirements

                                               Landmark agreement with the General Administration of Sports China to operate

                                        31 TEAM CHINA Sports Lottery+ stores. Fit out has begun in 3 provinces, Hebei,
      ○                                        Henan and Shanxi and will be operational in July 2025

      ○                                        UGO Lotto, a digitally integrated Sports Lottery scratchcard solution,
                                               launched the first stage of national roll-out in ride-hailing taxis in Shanxi
                                               in May 2025, with over 200 point of sale terminals operating in a combination
                                               of ride-hailing cars and other retail

      ○                                        Continued roll-out of Lucky World connecting lottery shops by equipping them
                                               with a UnionPay POS terminal, now in over 2,600 connected shops and
                                               increasing; and

      ○                                        Launch of Lucky World Membership programme developed to accelerate user and
                                               lottery shop acquisition with Lucky World registered users rising to over
                                               400,000 since the launch of the programme.

 ●    Two equity raises during the half year totalling of £7.71 million have been
      invested in Hui10 to accelerate the roll-out of products and services

Hui10 has the potential to deliver strong growth in participation in the
Chinese national lotteries respective customer bases and ultimately in lottery
ticket sales. Hui10 has achieved this unique competitive position over a
period of 10 years and is now at an inflection point as it begins to
accelerate the roll-out of its platforms nationally.

Non Hui10 Portfolio investments

The balance of the IIG portfolio is focused on small technology and healthcare
companies which make up only 2.3% of the total asset valuation of the Company.
The fundraising environment for these companies remains challenging, however,
it is encouraging to note that all of our companies continue to operate and
focus on the delivery of their strategies. The portfolio, in the vast
majority, is held at the valuation of the most recent investment round.
 During the year to 30 September 2024 the Company substantially divested our
quoted portfolio and it is not expecting to be making any further investments.

 

We have not made, nor are proposing to make, follow on investments or new
investments in the Non Hui10 Portfolio. This may dilute our percentage
holdings and impact performance.

 

Further details of all the companies in portfolio are contained at the end of
this statement.

                                              Rapid expansion of point of sale terminals

      ○                                       Lucky World Lottery

                                              Up to 7,500 lottery shops with approximately 4 million registered users

to build on the momentum that Hui10 is gaining as it continues to deliver on
its strategy.

costs, and reduce the incidence of antimicrobial resistance. SepsiSTAT® is a
diagnostic test that runs from a sample of whole blood before any culturing

PneumoWave Limited ("PneumoWave")

 

Investment of £450,000 in new ordinary shares, held at £395,503 fair value,
for which last investment round is deemed the most appropriate basis of
measurement. IIG invested £100,000 by way of convertible loan notes which
converts at a 15% discount to the Series A and £350,000 in the pre-series A
funding round. PneumoWave raised money in September 2024 by convertible loan
note.

 

PneumoWave, which was incorporated in February 2018, is developing an
innovative remote respiratory monitoring platform comprising a small,
chest-worn biosensor and AI-driven data analysis/alerting software for the
early detection, prediction, and prevention of adverse events in respiratory
patients, both in hospitals and at home. In 2020, PneumoWave was awarded
Breakthrough Medical Device designation from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration for the development of the device, which is designed to monitor
breathing in real-time to a clinical standard of care.

 

The specially designed wireless biosensor is one of the smallest available and
transmits data to the cloud using a data hub or smartphone, alerting the
patient, their household members, doctor, nurse, or emergency services where
life-threatening changes occur. PneumoWave's technology will be able to
accurately monitor large numbers of patients in any location at any time.

Warrants/Management Incentive Schemes

 

The Company established Hui10 share growth incentive scheme in which
participants are rewarded if a predetermined level of shareholder value is
created over a three-to-five-year period or upon a change of control of the
Hui10 (whichever occurs first). The reward is calculated on a formula basis by
reference to the growth in market capitalisation of Hui10 over and above the
value of US$365 million. It allows for adjustments for the issue of any new
Ordinary Shares and taking into account dividends and capital returns
("Shareholder Value").  The reward will be realised by the exercise by the
beneficiaries of a put option in respect of a new class of Hui10 shares and
satisfied either in cash or by the issue of new Ordinary Shares, at the
election of the Company. Under these arrangements in place, participants are
entitled up to in total 15% ("Incentive Pool").

 

The details of the arrangement can be found in the Company's Annual Report
dated 30 September 2024. As at 31 March 2025 there were 4,021,779 (2024
Restated: 4,021,779) outstanding share warrants over Ordinary Shares,
