Interim Results

 

Lift Global Ventures ("Lift" or the "Company") presents its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2025.

 

Chairman's Statement

 

During the period, the Company refined its investment strategy and focused its activities on opportunities in applied artificial intelligence ("AI"), reflecting the Board's view that AI will continue to be a significant driver of change across multiple sectors.

Investment Strategy

The Company's investment policy now focuses on applied AI opportunities across a range of sectors, including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing and creative industries.

The Board's approach is to prioritise businesses with clearly defined use cases, defensible intellectual property and identifiable routes to revenue generation. In particular, the Company is focused on opportunities where AI is being deployed to deliver measurable operational or commercial impact, rather than speculative or purely conceptual technologies.

The Company retains flexibility to invest across both private and public markets and to structure investments appropriately, including through direct equity, structured arrangements and co-investments.

Investment Activity

During the period, the Board and Investment Committee reviewed a number of AI-focused opportunities. The Company has adopted a disciplined approach, focusing on businesses with strong technical leadership, clear commercial pathways and appropriate governance frameworks.

The Board has also strengthened its access to technical expertise to support investment decisions in a rapidly evolving sector.

IntelliAM Share Swap

A key development during the period was the execution of a share swap agreement with IntelliAM AI plc.

The transaction increases the Company's exposure to applied AI solutions in industrial and infrastructure settings, where data-rich environments and operational requirements create favourable conditions for AI-driven optimisation.

The transaction was structured to enhance strategic alignment while preserving cash resources, and reflects the Company's focus on practical, revenue-generating AI applications.

Yorkshire AI Labs

The Company maintains a working relationship with Yorkshire AI Labs ("YAIL"), an AI-focused venture development and investment ecosystem.

This relationship provides access to a pipeline of early-stage AI opportunities and technical insight into emerging developments in the sector.

Any transactions or arrangements involving YAIL are considered by the Board in accordance with appropriate governance procedures, and any conflicts of interest are managed in line with the Company's Articles and applicable regulation.

Responsible AI and Governance

The Board recognises that long-term value creation in AI depends on appropriate governance and responsible deployment.

The Company therefore considers factors such as data integrity, model transparency, cybersecurity, regulatory preparedness and ethical considerations as part of its investment process.

Miriad Limited

The Company's subsidiary, Miriad Limited, continued to operate as a financial PR and investor relations business during the period, maintaining an active client base and market presence.

After period end, on 30 March 2026, the Company announced that Saqib Ahmed Mir ceased to be Chief Executive Officer and

Executive Director of the Company effective from 30 March 2026. Mr Mir also ceased to be Chief Executive Officer and a

director of Miriad Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with effect from the same date. The Board wishes Mr Mir well for the future.

 

This leadership change follows the Company's revised investment policy, which is now focused on pursuing opportunities in applied artificial intelligence.

 

Trans-Africa Energy

The Company retains a legacy investment in Trans-Africa Energy Limited in the form of convertible loan notes ("CLN"). As of which  31 March 2026 the CLN has not been repaid and the Company is currently in discussions with Trans-Africa Energy Limited regarding the repayment and/or restructuring the loan. Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

Financial Overview

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had cash reserves of £198,597 and remained debt free.

The Group reported revenue of £197,797 for the six-month period (31 December 2024: £204,853 and administration expenses of £178,563 (31 December 2024: £197,071).

Governance and Shareholder Engagement

During and following the period, the Company has engaged with shareholders on matters relating to its strategy and capital structure.

The Board remains committed to maintaining appropriate governance standards and ensuring that shareholder views are considered through proper corporate processes.

Board Appointments

During the period, David Richards MBE and Mark Horrocks were appointed to the Board.

David Richards brings extensive experience as a technology entrepreneur and investor, including leadership roles in listed technology businesses and early-stage investment.

Mark Horrocks brings over 40 years' experience in the funds and investment industry, including significant experience in public and private markets.

Outlook

The Board believes that the Company is now positioned to pursue a focused strategy in applied artificial intelligence, while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation and risk.

We remain committed to acting in the best interests of shareholders as a whole and to progressing the Company's strategy through appropriate governance and market processes.

The Interim Financial Statements does not include all of the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025, which has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, and any public announcements made by Lift Global Ventures Plc during the interim reporting period.

3.      GOING CONCERN

 

Management has prepared a forecast covering 18 months post-period end and believe that current cash reserves together with liquid investments will adequately cover the working capital requirements of the Group.

 

As such, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has, and will have access to, adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and, therefore, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

 

4.      SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

 

The results reported for the Group's two reportable segments, Head Office and Financial PR, have been derived from the results of Lift Global Ventures Plc and Miriad Limited respectively, less any inter-company transactions. The total value of inter-company transactions in the period were £105,627 (2024: £43,645).

 

Management allocates costs associated with the provision of Financial PR services to the entity's Financial PR segment, plus a portion of administration expenses relative to the amount of time spent on administrative matters within this segment. The majority of administrative expenses occur in relation to the running and management of Lift Global Ventures Plc and are therefore allocated to the Head Office segment.

The fair value of quoted securities is based on published market prices.

 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured are categorised within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities for which the fair value was used:

 

-              level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

-              level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

-              level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The following tables set forth, by level, equity investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at 31 December 2025, 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024:

10.    financial assetS AND LIABILITIES AT fair value through profit and loss

During the year ending 30 June 2025, the Group acquired warrants over listed securities. In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the warrants are classified as financial assets and, together with associated financial liabilities, are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). During the period ending 31 December 2025, these warrants over listed securities were exercised and the shares received had a fair value of £132,000 (Note 9).

Fair value considerations

 

The warrants over listed securities held are not actively traded on an exchange, however, the various inputs obtained for inclusion in the valuation model can derived from observable data, therefore the instruments have been classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured are categorised within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities for which the fair value was used:

 

•       Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•       Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

•       Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
