                                  one of the ECR Top 30 solutions. It has also completed an additional funding

SVV1 has completed its investing in new companies and is now in its
realisation phase which should lead to further returns to the Company and its
shareholders.

2.            Sure Valley Ventures UK Software Technology Fund ("SVV2")

In March 2022, the Company invested in a second SVV fund, the Sure Valley
Ventures UK Software Technology Fund ("SVV2"). The principal investor in SVV2
is the British Business Bank ("BBB"), an investment arm of the UK Government.
The first close of this fund amounted to £85 million, with the BBB investing
up to £50 million and other investors ("Private Investors"), including
Mindflair, investing up to £35 million over the 10‐year life of the fund.

Mindflair expects to invest up to £5 million in total over the life of the
fund which would provide it with a circa 5.9% interest. SVV2 invests in a
range of private UK software companies with a focus on companies in the
Artificial Intelligence sector and within the subsectors of AI in the
enterprise, AI in Immersive Technologies (such as AR/VR) and AI in
Cybersecurity sectors.

The profit share arrangements within this new fund are designed to encourage
the involvement of the Private Investors alongside the BBB, meaning that
Mindflair and the other Private Investors would expect to receive a
significantly enhanced share of the total return generated by the fund
compared to industry standard. The detail of the investments in this Fund are
set out below.

This investment activity has continued, post period end, with a number of
additional investments made as set out below:

 Inephany                        Inephany, is an AI optimisation startup, developing an AI‐powered

                               optimisation platform, which intends to revolutionise how neural
 (Inephany Limited)              networks-including Large Language Models (LLMs)-are trained and fine‐tuned.
                                 As generative AI continues to develop, the computing and energy costs of
                                 training cutting‐edge models have emerged as a major bottleneck. Inephany
                                 addresses this challenge with a novel AI‐driven optimisation system that
                                 intelligently controls the training process in real‐time. Compared to
                                 traditional approaches that rely on exhaustive trial‐and‐error
                                 optimisations, Inephany's technology improves sample efficiency, accelerates
                                 training, reduces overall development time, and enhances final model
                                 performance ‐ all while reducing computing costs. This development has the
                                 potential to unlock scalable, sustainable AI development that is significantly
                                 more cost‐effective.
 Capably                         Capably is an Intelligent Automation platform designed to help businesses

In August 2024, Mindflair subscribed £300,000 for 315,790 new shares in SV
plc at a price of £0.95 per share in order to increase the Company's exposure
to its underlying investment in SVV1.

B.            Direct investments
 Getvisibility        Details of this investment are covered in the section above.

                      Post period end, Getvisibility was sold to Forcepoint, enabling Mindflair to
                      realise proceeds of £2.6 million for its direct and indirect interests (held
                      via SVV1).

 Other

On 31 March 2024, John May, a non‐executive director, retired from the board
after a number of years with the Company in order to devote more time to his
other roles.

Financial

For the year under review, the Company reported a profit before taxation of
£3.159 million (for the year ended 31 December 2023: loss of £2.67 million).
The result for the Company includes unrealised gains/losses in the portfolio
of quoted equity investments which are marked to market, plus any return from
and adjustment to the carrying value of its unlisted investments. Net asset
value as at the end of the year amounted to £10,793,000 (31 December 2023:
£5,844,000).

The profit for the year and increase in NAV has been driven by the growth in
value of the SVV investments, principally as a result of the increase in the
value of the investment in Infinite Reality.

We continue to believe that absolute NAV does not fairly represent the
Company's financial potential, given the scope for significant valuation
uplift of the companies within the portfolio. This is clearly demonstrated by
the gains, both realised and unrealised, that have been achieved to date from
the investment portfolio. Furthermore, it is worth reiterating that
realisations that are achieved within the SVV portfolio generally result in
cash distributions to the Company and are not retained within the fund.

In July 2024, the Company placed 92,500,000 new ordinary shares at a price of
£0.01 raising gross proceeds of £925,000.

On 22 December 2022, the Company entered into a series of two‐year unsecured
loan notes representing £1.235 million, in aggregate, accruing interest at
7.5% per annum with a bullet repayment of principal and interest at the end of
the term. Warrants over 47,839,284 new ordinary shares were also issued to the
loan note investors which will vest if the average of the Company's volume
weighted average price over five consecutive trading days exceeds 5.163 pence
within the three‐year exercise period of the warrants. The warrant exercise
price was 4 pence. As part of the reprofiling of the loan notes in December
2024, some of the principal was repaid in cash and shares and the total
accrued interest to 30 November 2024 was also paid in shares. The warrants
issued were also repriced with the exercise price reduced to 1.6 pence per
share and the vesting hurdle was reduced to 2.5 pence. The exercise period of
the warrants was extended to 31 December 2026. These were the only unexercised
warrants that were in issue as at the end of the period. At the same time, the
Company placed 81,666,999 new ordinary shares at a price of £0.006 raising
gross proceeds of £490,000 which was received subsequent to the year‐end.

Post year end

When Landvault was sold to Infinite Reality in July 2024, SVV1 received new
shares in Infinite Reality. In January 2025, Infinite Reality announced that
it had raised US$3 billion in new equity and that the company was valued at
US$12 billion. It also announced that it was looking at ways to provide
liquidity for its shareholders.

In February 2025, 40,833,333 warrants were issued to the placees involved in
the placing in December 2024 - these could not be issued at the time as they
required shareholder approval, which was received in February 2025.

In April 2025, one of the Company's investments, Getvisibility, was sold,
generating gross proceeds of £2.6 million for the Company's direct holding
and its interest held through SVV1. The Company may also receive additional
funds in the event that a distribution is made by SV plc. Part of the proceeds
from this sale have then been used to pay the balance of the interest and
principal outstanding on the loan notes.

Post period end, a number of new investments have been made by the SVV funds.
These include:

 

 Inephany      a company focused on AI optimisation
 Capably       an intelligent automation platform
 Momntum       a company developing fully integrated AI customer relationship platform
 Literal Labs  a company developing a new class of AI models that are significantly faster,
               more energy efficient, and more explainable than today's neural networks

Outlook

Our investment strategy is focused on AI based next generation technology
businesses and we believe that significant progress has been made by the
majority of our investments during the period and the outlook for the
respective sectors in which they operate remains encouraging. Furthermore, the
level of investment activity by SVV2 and SVV3 has increased in order to take
advantage of the exciting opportunities that are available in the
fast‐moving and developing AI sector.

Post period end, the disposal of one of our investments, Getvisibility not
only demonstrates the value that can be generated from our investment
portfolio but has also put the Company on a sound financial footing, being
debt free with a significant cash balance to deploy.

We expect that in the coming months we will see some additional realisations
or liquidity events from the investment portfolio which is expected to
