CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

I am pleased to provide a review of Kibo Energy PLC ("Kibo" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries' (together with Kibo, the "Group") activities during the period and to present our full-year audited accounts for 2021.

As you know we announced a significant strategy shift in June 2021, largely prompted by a global surge in clean energy policies and investment aimed at putting the energy system on track to achieve the global Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as was reiterated during COP 26. This made it increasingly difficult to promote and fund our fossil fuel energy projects, notwithstanding intended integration of renewable energy components in the development of these projects, and also notwithstanding the fact that much of sub-Saharan Africa is still largely reliant on fossil fuels, and will be for the foreseeable future.

The underlying strategic concept of the Kibo Strategy assumes long term energy solutions as a key enabler for Sustainability in a circular economy. Kibo therefore restated its strategy to advance the Company as a significant developer of sustainable energy solutions, integrating renewable and alternative generation with energy storage. Kibo will therefore, forthwith, focus on the acquisition, development and operation of a portfolio of sustainable, renewable energy assets and dispose of, or reposition, our fossil fuel utility projects.

The establishment and maintenance of a sustainable project pipeline that will be delivering production assets therefore remains a main high-level target. This requires exclusive focus on the rapidly expanding renewable and clean energy markets to produce a pipeline of new projects in the United Kingdom ("UK) and SADC ("Southern African Development Community") Countries, some of which have already been acquired and currently being integrated into the Company structure.

I am pleased to reflect on the joint investment with South African group Industrial Green Energy Solutions (IGES) to convert un-recyclable plastic to syngas (using pyrolysis) in energy starved South Africa, for industrial power production. We recently announced progress on the first of various projects in the project pipeline and look forward to the anticipated financial close later in 2022 of the first 2.7 MW phase, for which we have a private industrial off-take agreement. Success with this phase will bode well for the rapid expansion of this project to its full c. 8 MW potential. It will also bolster the development of the project pipeline, aimed at a conducive South African energy market segment driven by the demand for Independent Power Producers and recent legislative restrictions on the disposal of certain plastics. As the UK Government sets out to deliver energy security and accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy it understands that it will require urgent and ambitious action at home and abroad. Its strategy continues to be based on the principle that independently regulated, competitive energy markets, are the most cost-effective and efficient way of delivering its objectives. We are also leveraging our growing experience in the waste-to-energy in the pursuit of various waste-to-energy opportunities in the UK-market.

Our renewed strategy will benefit from the Company's experience in the renewable energy sector in recent years. This has been acquired historically through our work in developing renewable energy and storage solutions for integration with its large utility coal projects as well as being the cornerstone promoter behind its 55% AIM subsidiary, Mast Energy Developments PLC ("MED"). After MED completed a successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange in 2021, raising £5.54 million to acquire a 50 MW reserve power portfolio in the short to medium term it already has a 9 MW site in production, 5 MW site under construction, 4.4 MW in development and a further four sites totalling 29 MW in an advanced stage of acquisition.

Unfortunately, the change in the Group's strategy during 2021 to move toward renewable energies coupled with global divestments in fossil fuel assets, resulted therein that the Group recognised impairment of £20,088,240 related to its coal assets. Notwithstanding the impairment, the disposal plans for our legacy fossil fuel energy projects in Tanzania, Mozambique and Botswana, are progressing well with expressions of interest currently under evaluation.

The result for the reporting period amounted to a loss of £23,148,155 for the year ended 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: £6,417,237) as detailed further in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, and further details on financial activities are detailed elsewhere in the Annual Report.

In closing, I would like to acknowledge the support of our shareholders and all stakeholders as we position the Company for a next exiting phase of development. I would like to thank our Board, as well as management under the strong leadership of our CEO, Louis Coetzee, for their vision, hard work and tenacity to take advantage of the new opportunities emerging in the green economy by re-positioning Kibo.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

Introduction

Kibo's focus during 2021 was to acquire new projects to underpin its strategy to advance Kibo as a significant developer of sustainable energy solutions, integrating Renewable and Alternative Generation with Energy Storage in the UK and Southern Africa. Leveraging its growing experience in these areas and its partner network, Kibo has been successful in establishing the project portfolio described below.

Operations

Sustineri Energy Joint Venture - Waste-to-Energy Project (South Africa)

On 18 May 2021, we announced an agreement with South Africa-based Industrial Green Solutions (Pty) Ltd ('IGES') to jointly develop a portfolio of Waste to Energy projects in South Africa with an initial target of generating more than 50 MW of electricity for sale to industrial users which was finalized at the end of July 2021.

Under the terms of this agreement, Kibo has acquired 65% of Sustineri Energy (35% held by IGES), which holds an initial seven waste-to energy project pipeline utilizing Pyrolysis technologies to convert waste non-recyclable plastics to syngas for the generation of energy. The Pyrolysis technology will be supplied by a local international technology firm in the form of a waste to energy conversion plant with Syngas stored on site and fed into gas engines to generate electrical power. The agreement, which was completed in July 2021, requires Kibo to fund Sustineri, commencing with an amount of £560,000 as an equity loan for the development of this first project ("Project 1") more details of which are given below.

Project 1, the most advanced project, involves the development, construction, and operation of an 8 MW Base Load Waste to Energy Generation facility to be developed in 4 X 2 MW phases over about 3 years for an industrial business park developer in Gauteng, South Africa. A recent 10-year take-or-pay conditional Power Purchase Agreement (`PPA') to generate baseload electricity from the first 2.7 MW phase of the development was signed by the Off taker and announced by the Company in February 2022 together with a further update on this initial project.

An optimised financial model for the first 2.7 MW phase 1 (updated from initial planned 2 MW) of Project 1 has provided an estimated Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation & Interest (EBITDA) of c. £18 million over the life of project of which an amount of c. £11.5 million is attributable to the Company and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of between 11% - 14%. The Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for the project is estimated at c. £8.35 million with financial close anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2022 with construction to commence in the first quarter of 2023 and taking between 11 and 14 months to complete. Project 1 is attracting strong funding interest (project and debt funding) from various investors with whom Sustineri is currently negotiating with a view to meeting its target financial close date in the fourth quarter this year.

The Project will provide the business park with cleaner electricity, by making use of a high temperature pyrolysis process, where selected non-recyclable plastics will undergo thermal degradation to produce high quality syngas, which will in turn feed gas engines to generate both electricity and heat energy. Additionally, there is potential to sell the heat energy generated as a by-product from the gas engines directly to customers inside the industrial park. A fuel feedstock supply agreement is already in place with a waste management operator for 100% of the first phase (2,7MW) of the project and land acquisition and waste licensing is in progress. Air emissions License and grid connection approval processes are in progress.

In addition to Project 1, there are at least 6 other projects at different sites identified and off-take discussions are planned in the short term. These additional projects can yield as much as 50 MW. Kibo will be developing the project portfolio with Lesedi Nuclear Services (Pty) Ltd as strategic partner for EPC and Operations and Management services. For South Africa, the Pyrolysis technology provides a perfect solution to the disposal of plastics in the country, which up until now is high cost and subject to cumbersome procedures and under most recent legislation prohibits the disposal of plastics with a CV (Calorific Value) of more than 20 CV in landfill facilities. As an Independent Power Producer, Sustineri will enable its industrial clients to operate independently from the National Utility, Eskom, and secure stable power supplies.

Billingham Joint Venture - Waste-to-Energy Project (UK)

In September 2021, Kibo signed a Heads of Terms with AIM-listed UK company, EQTEC plc, a world-leading gasification solutions company, to acquire a 54.54% interest in its proposed 25 MW capacity Billingham waste gasification and power plant at Haverton Hill, Teesside, UK. Under the Heads of Terms, it is expected that Kibo will acquire a 54.54% equity stake in a new project company (Project SPV) to be incorporated with EQTEC holding 45.46% with the final holdings to be confirmed following a follow-on shareholders' agreement which is currently being negotiated.

Billingham is at an advanced stage of development with a concept design for the full plant produced, planning permission approved, grid connection secured & technical due diligence with technology insurance providers completed. The project is expected to annually process 200,000 metric tonnes of non-recyclable everyday municipal solid waste into 25 MW of green electricity, enough to power 50,000 homes. Under the Heads of Terms, Kibo's initial funding contribution will be £3 million paid as an equity subscription, plus convertible shareholder loan facilities, and Kibo will have the option to provide additional convertible shareholder loan facilities to the Project SPV and/or convert future project development fees into further equity in the project in the future.

The Billingham project rights will be held by the Project SPV and will include all technology license agreements, all equipment supply and maintenance agreements with EQTEC and all rights to the site under the existing agreements with third parties. EQTEC will remain as the lead development manager on the Project, providing the design and core Advanced Gasification Technology and subsequently retaining the maintenance portion of the O&M contract upon commissioning.

Legacy Coal Projects - Tanzania, Botswana and Mozambique

Notwithstanding the successful transition toward the renewable energy strategy during the 2021 financial period, the Group continued to pursue the possible development of its Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabaseka Coal to Power Project during 2021, however the increase in global scepticism around the development of fossil fuel projects coupled with expansion toward renewable energy resulted in the phasing out of coal assets across global markets in lieu of renewable energy assets. These factors culminated in the Group performing an impairment assessment as the carrying amount of the Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabaseka Coal to Power Project asset is unlikely to be recovered in full of successful development or by sale. Following various consultations with third parties, the Group concluded that the fair value of its coal asset was estimated to be approximately £5,504,216, which is significantly lower than the value in use determined in preceding financial periods as a result of the declining demand for fossil fuel projects and the Group's move toward renewable energies, as executed toward the latter part of the 2021 financial period

It was therefore concluded that an impairment of £20,088,240 was necessary in the 2021 financial period related specifically to the Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabaseka Coal to Power Projects.

The Group still believes these coal deposits which still offer opportunities for commercialization to parties with longer term investment horizons commensurate with the further refinement of new clean coal burning technologies and conversion of coal to gas with associated carbon capture systems.

Investments

Mast Energy Developments Plc ("MED") - Reserve Power (UK)

During 2021, Kibo facilitated the IPO on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange plc by way of a Standard Listing of its equity interest in MAST Energy Developments plc, previously a wholly owned subsidiary, with MED raising £5.54 million through Clear Capital Markets Ltd from its IPO. On the date of listing a market capitalisation of £23 million was allocated to MAST Energy Developments. Kibo retains a 55.37% equity interest in MED.

Since its IPO in April 2021, MED has made solid progress towards its target of assembling a portfolio of well-located flexible power sites in the UK of up to 300 MW of flexible power generating capacity within the next two to three years. During 2021 the company acquired and re-commissioned the fully operational 9 MW Pyebridge peaking power plant and a 4.4. MW shovel ready site at Rochdale for the development of a peaking power plant or a battery storage site, both sites being located in the West Midlands of the UK. These sites are in addition to the Bordesley site which is now in the early construction phase for a 5 MW peaking power plant. Together with Pyebridge, Rochdale and Bordersley, MED is at an advanced stage of acquisition on three further UK sites which when completed will bring its total portfolio of projects, operational and under development/construction to 47 MW. Further information on these projects and the latest MED updates can be found on its website at www.med.energy.

Katoro Gold Plc - Mineral Exploration (South Africa & Tanzania)

The Company retains a 21% investment in Katoro Gold plc (AIM: KAT) where progress on its Tanzania and South African projects is being made at a steady pace during 2021. Unfortunately, a planned listing and IPO on the London Stock Exchange for the Blyvoor gold tailings joint venture in South Africa had to be postponed in December when one of the joint venture partners failed to meet all conditions precedent to enable the re-structuring of the joint venture holding structure in preparation for the planned listing.

While disappointing, Blyvoor remains a substantial gold asset, especially in light of the current gold price upsurge, with a clear path to commercial development clearly indicated, Katoro continues to explore funding options to enable it to construct a mine and put Blyvoor into production as soon as possible.

On its Tanzanian projects, Katoro completed two phases of drilling on its Haneti Nickel-PGM Project in which it holds a 65% interest. The results from a first phase comprising 1,965 meters of rotary air blast drilling completed in April 2021 gave sufficient encouragement for a follow-on 900 meters diamond drilling programme which has recently been completed (February 2022), the results of which enables Katoro to refine the geological modelling and vector in on target areas for next stage work. Katoro also recently announced in March 2022 that it has regained a joint venture interest in the Imweru Gold Project in Tanzania which it had previously sold. It has now cancelled the sale and restructured the transaction as an incorporated joint venture with the previous purchaser, private Australian company, Lake Victoria Gold, to develop the gold asset. The joint venture provides for Lake Victoria Gold to earn up to 80% of the project by arranging all funding, while Katoro retains the remaining 20% as a carried interest. Further information on the Katoro projects and the latest updates can be found on its website at www.katorogold.com.

Corporate

During 2021 the Company issued 709,016,602, new ordinary shares at prices per shares between 0.2p and 0.4p. This comprised issue of 188,431,556 shares in respect of warrant exercises for which the Company received £697,726, a further 90,585,046 shares in settlement of invoices to service providers and in part settlement of outstanding debt and 430,000,000 shares in respect of a share subscription to private subscribers for which proceeds of £860,000 were received.

Since period end and to the date of this report the Company has issued an additional 108,540,021 shares at a price per share of just under 0.2p to service providers, in payment of a facility implementation fee in respect of drawing down the first tranche of a loan facility negotiated with an institutional investor (the "Investor") which was announced in February 2022 and payment in respect of remaining balance on loan (Sanderson settlement) announced in May 2022.

The loan facility noted above (the "Facility") provides for an initial drawdown of £1m (the "Initial Advance") which was availed of on signing of the Facility. Funds advanced under the Facility attract a fixed coupon interest rate of 3.5% and will be repayable with accrued interest, 4 months from the date of drawdown (due on 16 June 2022). The investor shall receive warrants equal to 30% of each drawdown divided by the average of the daily VWAP for each of the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable drawdown date ("Reference Price"), with a 36-month term to expiry from the date of issuance. The warrants are exercisable at a subscription price being equal to 130% of the then prevailing Reference Price. If the share price of the Company is above a 100% premium to the relevant exercise price for 30 consecutive days, then 50% of the warrants will be cancelled, unless otherwise previously exercised. With regards to the Initial Advance, the Investor has received 168,274,625 warrants. In compliance with the Facility terms for the Initial Advance, the Company has issued shares in settlement of a facility implementation fee of £70k in the amount of 39,264,079 new ordinary Kibo shares of €0.001 each at a deemed price of 0.17828 pence per share (the "Implementation Fee Shares").

Kibo settled an outstanding amount of £339,437 pursuant to the Forward Payment Facility signed between Sanderson Capital Partners Ltd and the Company in December 2016, in cash and shares, during the year. The share component comprised £169,718 (50% of the total) for which we issued 65,276,346 new shares at a deemed value of 0.26p per share. The remaining amount outstanding on this loan of £89,788.88 was settled after period end in May 2022 by the issue of 56,118,047 shares at a deemed value of £0.0016

At an EGM held on 22 February 2021 the shareholders of Kibo approved resolutions to permit the migration of the Company's dematerialised shares held through CREST to Euroclear Nominees Ltd (the "Eurobank Migration"). The Eurobank Migration was required to allow shareholders to continue to hold the Company shares in dematerialised form following the UK's exit from the EU and this successfully completed on the 12 March 2021.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Segment analysis

IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specific criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating decision maker. The Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating decision maker of the Group.

Management currently identifies individual projects as operating segments. These operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made based upon their individual nature, together with other non-financial data collated from exploration activities. Principal activities for these operating segments are as follows:

7. Taxation

Current tax

	31 December 2021 (£)	31 December 2020 (£)
Charge for the period in respect of corporate taxation	-	-
Total tax charge	-	-

The difference between the total current tax shown above and the amount calculated by applying the standard rate of corporation tax for various jurisdictions to the loss before tax is as follows:

	2021 (£)	2020 (£)
Loss on ordinary activities before tax	(23,148,155)	(6,417,237)

Income tax expense calculated at blended rate of 18.86% (2020: 14.9%)	(4,365,742)	(956,168)

Income which is not taxable	(100,589)	(1,515,818)
Expenses which are not deductible	3,959,520	2,919,587
Losses available for carry forward	506,811	(447,601)
Income tax expense recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss	-	-

The effective tax rate used for the December 2021 and December 2020 reconciliations above is the corporate rate of 18.86% and 14.9% payable by corporate entities on taxable profits under tax law in that jurisdiction respectively.

No provision has been made for the 2021 deferred taxation as no taxable income has been received to date, and the probability of future taxable income is indicative of current market conditions which remain uncertain. At the Statement of Financial Position date, the Directors estimate that the Group has unused tax losses of £38,201,734 (2020: £35,320,553) available for potential offset against future profits which equates to an estimated potential deferred tax asset of £5,076,208 (2020: £4,569,667). No deferred tax asset has been recognised due to the unpredictability of the future profit streams. Losses may be carried forward indefinitely in accordance with the applicable taxation regulations ruling within each of the above jurisdictions.

8. Loss per share

Basic loss per share

The basic loss and weighted average number of ordinary shares used for calculation purposes comprise the following:

Basic Loss per share	31 December 2021(£)	31 December 2020 (£)
Loss for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent	(21,996,968)	(4,726,286)

Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of basic loss per share	2,480,279,189	1,546,853,959

Basic loss per ordinary share (GBP)	(0.009)	(0.003)

As there are no instruments in issue which have a dilutive impact, the dilutive loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share, and thus not disclosed separately.

Pyebridge Power Ltd - 2021

The Group acquired a 100% equity interest in Pyebridge Power Limited ("Pyebridge") for £2,500,000 in cash which is settled as follows:

• An initial £1,485,500 to be paid in cash at completion date on the 10th of August 2021;

• Repayment of the loan outstanding of £14,500 by Sloane Developments Limited to Pyebridge;

Deferred consideration of £1,000,000 to be paid in two tranches 8 months and 12 months respectively from the date of completion.

The acquisition of PyeBridge comprise of the following:

• An installed and commissioned synchronous gas-powered standby generation plant and machinery; and

• The land on which the gas-powered facility stands.

The acquisition of land and gas-powered generation facility has been accounted for as assets purchased at consolidated level, and not as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3. Therefore, the purchase price has been allocated between land and the plant and machinery based on their respective fair values as at the date of acquisition.

Right of use asset

The Group has one lease contract for land it shall utilise to construction a 5MW gas-fuelled power generation plant. The land is located at Bordersley, Liverpool St. Birmingham.

The lease of the land has a lease term of 20 years, with an option to extend for 10 years which the Group has opted to include due to the highly likely nature of extension as at the time of the original assessment.

The Group's obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. The Group's incremental borrowing rate is 8.44%.

Right of use asset	31 December 2021(£) Group	31 December 2020(£) Group
Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets recognised and the movements during the period:
Opening balance	-	-
Additions	293,793	-
Depreciation	(9,793)	-
Closing balance	284,000	-

Lease liability
Set out below are the carrying amounts of lease liabilities and the movements during the period:
Opening balance	-	-
Additions	293,793	-
Interest	24,725	-
Repayment	(27,000)	-
Closing balance	291,518	-

Spilt of lease liability between current and non-current portions:
Non-current	289,045	-
Current	2,473	-
Total	291,518	-

Future minimum lease payments fall due as follows
- within 1 year	27,000	-
- later than 1 year but within 5 years	108,000
- later than 5 years	648,000
Subtotal	783,000
- Unearned future finance charges	(491,482)
Closing balance	291,518

A 1% change in the Incremental Borrowing Rate ("IBR"), would result in a £25,185 change in the Right of Use Asset, and corresponding Lease Liability on transaction date.

10. Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of separately identifiable prospecting, exploration and renewable energy assets in the form of licences, intellectual property or rights acquired either through business combinations or through separate asset acquisitions.

The following reconciliation serves to summarise the composition of intangible assets as at period end:

	Rochdale Power (£)	Sustineri Energy (£)	Mbeya Coal to Power Project (£)	Bordersley Power (£)	Total (£)
Carrying value at 1 January 2020	-	-	15,896,105	2,595,000	18,491,105
Impairments	-	-	-	-	-
Carrying value at 1 January 2021	-	-	15,896,105	2,595,000	18,491,105
Impairments	-	-	(13,955,528)	-	(13,955,528)
Acquisition of Rochdale Power	150,273	-	-	-	150,273
Acquisition of Sustineri Energy	-	278,700	-	-	278,700
Carrying value at 31 December 2021	150,273	278,700	1,940,577	2,595,000	4,964,550

Intangible assets attributable to prospecting or exploration activities with an indefinite useful life are not amortised until such time that active mining operations commence, which will result in the intangible asset being amortised over the useful life of the relevant project.

Intangible assets attributable to renewable energy activities are amortised once commercial production commenced, over the remaining useful life of the project, which is estimated to be between 20 to 30 years, depending on the unique characteristics of each project.

Until such time as the underlying operations commence production commences, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, against the recoverable value of the intangible asset, or earlier if an indication of impairment exists.

One or more of the following facts or circumstances indicate that an entity should test an intangible asset for impairment:

• the period for which the entity has the right to develop the asset has expired during the period or will expire in the foreseeable future;

• substantial expenditure on the asset in future is neither planned nor budgeted;

• sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the development asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

In assessing whether a write-down is required in the carrying value of a potentially impaired intangible asset, the asset's carrying value is compared with its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

The valuation techniques applicable to the valuation of the abovementioned intangible assets comprise a combination of fair market values, discounted cash flow projections and historic transaction prices.

The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the intangible assets' recoverable amounts, through utilising the value in use calculation performed:

• measurement of the available resources and reserves;

• currency fluctuations and exchange movements applicable to the valuation model;

• commodity prices related to resources and reserve and forward looking statements;

• expected growth rates in respect of production capacity;

• cost of capital related to funding requirements;

• determination of the commercial viability period;

• applicable discounts rates, inflation and taxation implications;

• future operating expenditure related to the realisation of the respective project assets; and

• co-operation of key project partners going forward.

The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the intangible assets' recoverable amounts, through utilising the fair value calculation performed:

• Determination of consideration receivable based on recently completed transactions, considering the nature, location, size and desirability of recently completed transactions, for similar assets.

A summary of each project and the impairment assessment performed for each of the intangible assets are detailed below.

Mbeya Coal to Power Project

The Mbeya Coal to Power Project situated in the Mbeya region of Tanzania, which comprises the Mbeya Coal Mine, a potential 1.5Mt p/a mining operation, and the Mbeya Power Plant, a planned 300MW mine-mouth thermal power station. The Mbeya Coal Mine has a defined 120.8 Mt NI 43-101 thermal coal resource. The 300MW mouth-of-mine thermal power station has long term scalability with the potential to become a 1000MW plant. The completed full Power Feasibility Study highlighted an annual power output target of 1.8GW based on annual average coal consumption of 1.5Mt.

Subsequent to the completion of a compulsory tender process through TANESCO on the development of the Mbeya Coal to Power Project, the Group was informed that its bid to secure a Power-Purchase Agreement was unsuccessful in February 2019. Further engagement with TANESCO has subsequently culminated in the receipt of a formal notice from TANESCO during 2020 inviting the Group it to develop the Mbeya Coal to Power Project for the export market and thereby enabling the Company to engage with the African Power Pools regarding potential off-take agreements.

Result of impairment review undertaken during the period

The Group continued to pursue the possible development of the Mbeya Coal to Power Project for the export market during 2021, however the increase in global scepticism around the development of fossil fuel projects coupled with expansion toward renewable energy resulted in the phasing out of coal assets across global markets in lieu of renewable energy assets.

These factors culminated in the Group performing an impairment assessment as the carrying amount of the Mbeya Coal to Power Project asset is unlikely to be recovered in full of successful development or by sale.

Following various consultations with third parties, the Group concluded that the fair value of its Mbeya Coal to Power Project asset was estimated to be approximately £1,940,577, which is significantly lower than the value in use determined in preceding financial periods as a results of the declining demand for fossil fuel projects and the Group's move toward renewable energies, as executed toward the latter part of the 2021 financial period

It was therefore concluded that an impairment of £13,955,528 was necessary in the 2021 financial period related specifically to the Mbeya Coal to Power Project.

The fair value consideration receivable was based on third party proposals received related to the combined potential disposal of the Group's Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabasekwa Coal to Power projects. The proposed consideration receivable was allocated between the assets based on their respective carrying values, including capital contributions to the various assets at an estimated discount of between 60% and 80%.

A change of 100bps in the estimated discount applied to the capital contributions of the Mbeya Coal to Power asset would result in a £15,500 change in the fair value of the asset.

The Group is actively pursuing various options to realise value from the project, including the potential disposal of the asset to extern parties.

Bordersley Power Ltd

The Group initially acquired an indirect 100% equity interest in shovel-ready reserve power generation project, Bordersley, which will comprise a 5MW gas-fuelled power generation plant for the consideration of £175,000 settled through the issue of shares.

Thereafter, the Group acquired all of St Anderton's direct and indirect interests (Royalty Agreements) in the Bordersley power project described above giving it a 100% economic and 100% equity interest in Bordersley (the 'Acquisition'). Consideration for the Acquisition consists of the allotment and issue of 46,067,206 ordinary shares in the capital of MAST Developments plc to St Anderton at an issue price of £0.0525 per share and payable in five tranches ('Consideration Shares') such that the full consideration is only payable in the event that Bordersley is progressively derisked.

As there were no separately identifiable assets and/or liabilities acquired, the purchase price was allocated toward the Intellectual Property acquired, in the amount of £2,595,000.

Rochdale Power Ltd - 2021

The Group acquired a 100% interest in Rochdale Power Limited ("Rochdale"), from Balance Power Projects Limited, for the installation of a 4.4 MW flexible gas power project in Dig Gate Lane, Rochdale, OL 16 4NR.The acquisition purchase price totals £239,523 of which the freehold site amounts to £90,750 excluding VAT and the property rights amount to £150,273. The acquisition purchase price is to be paid in cash. The freehold site purchased is the property at Dig Gate Lane, Kingsway Business Park, Rochdale, OL16 4NR.

The acquisition of land and gas-powered generation facility will be accounted for as assets purchased at consolidated level, and not as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3. Therefore, the purchase price has been allocated to the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, as disclosed in Note 9 and Note 10 respectively.

Sustineri Energy - 2021

The Group, through its subsidiary Kibo Energy (Cyprus) Limited (KE), entered into an agreement with Industrial Green Energy Solutions (Pty) Ltd (IGES) whereby KE would acquire 65% equity stake in Sustineri Energy (Pty) Ltd (Sustineri), with IGES, the technology (IP) and process owner, acquiring a 35% stake. IGES would contribute IP in the amount of approximately £278,000 through an equity loan to Sustineri Energy (Pty) Ltd as contribution to the incorporation of the entity, and KE would thereafter contribute resources in the amount of £532,000 as part of its contribution. Thereafter Sustineri would source debt and equity to develop its underlying projects.

IGES, on behalf of Sustineri Energy (Pty) Ltd, completed and filed the necessary environmental approvals and was awarded a waste management license by the DEFF on 4 March 2021 for the waste fired combined heat and power plant to be installed at the Limeroc Business Park in Centurion, South Africa.

A summary of the assessment performed for each of the renewable energy intangible assets are detailed below.

11. Investment in associates

Investment in associates consist of equity investments where the Group has an equity interest between 20% and 50%, and does not exercise control over the investee.

The following reconciliation serves to summarise the composition of investments in associates as at period end:

	Katoro Gold plc (£)	Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project (£)	Total (£)

Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project

On 3 April 2018, the Group completed the acquisition of an 85% interest in the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power

Project, located in Botswana. The intangible asset was recognised at the fair value of the consideration paid, which emanates from the fair value of the equity instruments issued as at transaction date, being £9,376,312.

The Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project ("MCIPP") is located approximately 40km east of the village of Tonata and approximately 50km southeast of Francistown, Botswana's second largest city. Certain aspects of the Project have been advanced previously by Sechaba Natural Resources Limited ("Sechaba"), including water and land use permits and environmental certification. Mabesekwa consists of a insitu 777Mt Coal Resource. A pre-feasibility study on a coal mine and a scoping study on a coal fired thermal power plant has been completed. Kibo is in possession of a Competent Persons Report on the project, which includes a SAMREC-compliant Maiden Resource Statement on the excised 300 Mt portion of the Mabesekwa coal deposit.

In September 2019, Kibo and Shumba Energy Limited ("Shumba") signed a binding Heads of Agreement to reorganise the arrangements for the MCIPP and its associated coal asset in Botswana. Under the reorganisation the MCIPP retained assets will be consolidated back into KEB and Kibo's interest in KEB will be reduced to 35% to maintain Kibo's look-through interest in the MCIPP resource and make sundry adjustments to recognise Kibo's project expenditure. In exchange for the increase in the equity interest held by Shumba, Shumba would forego the previous claim it had against a portion of the MCIPP coal resources, thereby increasing the value of the interest held by KEB.

The value of the remaining equity interest in Kibo Energy Botswana (Pty) Ltd on initial recognition, was determined based on the fair value of the proportionate equity interest retained in the in the enlarged resource following the restructuring during 2019.

Result of impairment review undertaken during the period

The Group continued to pursue the possible development of its Mabaseka Coal to Power Project during 2021, however the increase in global scepticism around the development of fossil fuel projects coupled with expansion toward renewable energy resulted in the phasing out of coal assets across global markets in lieu of renewable energy assets.

These factors culminated in the Group performing an impairment assessment as the carrying amount of the Mabaseka Coal to Power Project asset is unlikely to be recovered in full of successful development or by sale.

Following various consultations with third parties, the Group concluded that the fair value of its Mabaseka Coal to Power Project asset was estimated to be approximately £3,563,639, which is significantly lower than the value in use determined in preceding financial periods as a results of the declining demand for fossil fuel projects and the Group's move toward renewable energies, as executed toward the latter part of the 2021 financial period

It was therefore concluded that an impairment of £6,132,712 was necessary in the 2021 financial period related specifically to the Mabaseka Coal to Power Project.

A change of 100bps in the estimated discount applied to the capital contributions of the Mbeya Coal to Power asset would result in a £18,500 change in the fair value of the asset.

The Group is actively pursuing various options to realise value from the project, including the potential disposal of the asset to extern parties.

The amount receivable from Lake Victoria Gold will be due and payable on the following dates:

• US$100,000 upon the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent;

• US$100,000 upon registration of Reef in the name of LVG;

• US$100,000 four months from the date of the SPA;

• US$200,000 nine months from the date of the SPA; and

• US$500,000 upon the earlier of the commissioning of the first producing mine of LVG in the Tanzania or the date 24 months from the date of the SPA.

As at 31 December 2020, funds of $100,000 have been received from Lake Victoria Gold in respect of the sale of Reef Miners Limited ("Reef"). The receivable in Lake Victoria Gold was fully impaired due to the significant increase in credit risk during the 2020 financial period, which is as a result of further payments not being received as they become due and was still outstanding as at 30 September 2021, the date on which the Kibo Group lost control over Katoro Gold plc as noted above in Note 11.

Blyvoor Joint Operations

On 30 January 2020, the Katoro Gold Group entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Blyvoor Gold Mines (Pty) Ltd, whereby Katoro Gold plc and Blyvoor Gold Mines (Pty) Ltd would become 50/50 participants in a unincorporated Joint Venture.

In accordance with the requirements of the Joint Venture Agreement, the Katoro Group was to provide a ZAR15.0 million loan (approximately £790,000) to the JV ('the Katoro Loan Facility'), which will fund ongoing development work on the Project.

As at 30 September 2021, the date on which the Kibo Group effectively lost control over the Katoro Group, the Katoro Group had advanced funding in the amount of £1,223,495 of which 100% relate to expenditure allocated to the Joint Venture operations, carried by the Katoro Gold plc Group.

13. Goodwill

MAST Energy Projects Limited - 2020

In the previous financial period, the Group acquired a 60% equity interest in MAST Energy Project Limited, previously known as MAST Energy Development Limited, for £300,000, settled through the issue of 5,714,286 ordinary shares in Kibo Energy plc effective on 19 October 2018. The acquisition of MAST Energy Projects Limited falls within the ambit of IFRS 3: Business Combinations.

The net assets acquired were valued at Nil, with the resultant purchase price being allocated to Goodwill on date of acquisition. Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, against the recoverable amount of underlying Cash Generating Unit ("CGU"). The recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use.

Because the underlying projects previously held by Mast Energy Projects Limited have now been restructured into separate SPV's, controlled directly by the intermediary holding company Sloane Developments Limited, there was no prospective benefit from continued operations of Mast Energy Projects Limited therefore the goodwill was impaired. The Company will cease operations in the foreseeable future.

17. Control reserve

The transaction with Opera Investments plc in 2017 represented a disposal without loss of control. Under IFRS this constitutes a transaction with equity holders and as such is recognised through equity as opposed to recognising goodwill. The control reserve represents the difference between the purchase consideration and the book value of the net assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction with Opera Investments. The control reserve balance as at the year end is Nil, following the loss of control over of Katoro Gold plc effective from 30 September 2021.

Deferred vendor liability

The amount due to vendors represents the balance of the purchase consideration owing in respect of the acquisition of Bordersley Power Limited from St' Anderton on Vaal Limited. The liability will be settled through the issue of ordinary shares in the Company, in four equal tranches of 6,000,000 at an issue price of £0.0525 each, as the project is progressively de-risked, as detailed below:

• Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that a preliminary notice to proceed with construction of the Bordersley power site has been issued by the Owners Engineer for the construction and commissioning of the Bordersley site;

• Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that a final notice to proceed with construction of the Bordersley power site has been issued by the Owners Engineer for the construction and commissioning of the Bordersley site;

• Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that the Owners Engineer for the construction and commissioning of the Bordersley site has commenced with commissioning of the Bordersley power plant; and

• Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that the Owners Engineer for the construction and commissioning of the Bordersley site has confirmed steady state production at the Bordersley power plant.

The fair value of the deferred vendor liability is calculated in accordance with the anticipated purchase consideration payable, at the fair value of the shares on the date of the transaction.

The amount payable has been settled during the current year through the issue of ordinary shares.

Short term loans

Sanderson Capital Partners Limited

Short term loans relate to the unsecured interest free loan facility from Sanderson Capital Partners Limited in the amount of £119,004 which is repayable either through the issue of ordinary shares or payment of cash by the Company.

Refer to Note 26, which highlights the settlement of the above debt owing, post year end.

Deferred vendor liability

The amount due to vendors represents the balance of the purchase consideration owing in respect of the acquisition of Pyebridge Power Limited. The liability will be settled in cash as follows:

· £500,000 payable within 8 months after the signing of the SPA represents: and

· £500,000 payable within 12 months after the signing of the SPA represents.

The fair value of the deferred vendor liability is based on the anticipated purchase consideration payable, at the fair value thereof on the date of the transaction. The carrying value of current other financial liability equals their fair value due mainly to the short-term nature of these payables.

Foreign currency risk

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies and exposures to exchange rate fluctuations therefore may arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed by continuously reviewing exchange rate movements in the relevant foreign currencies. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations for the Group/Company is limited to foreign currency translation of subsidiaries, which is not material, as the Group/Company does not hold any significant foreign denominated monetary assets or liabilities.

At the period ended 31 December 2021, the Group had no outstanding forward exchange contracts.

Exchange rates used for conversion of foreign subsidiaries undertakings were:

	2021	2020
ZAR to GBP (Spot)	0.0465	0.0499
ZAR to GBP (Average)	0.0492	0.0469
USD to GBP (Spot)	0.7412	0.7325
USD to GBP (Average)	0.7281	0.7798
EURO to GBP (Spot)	0.8394	0.8984
EURO to GBP (Average)	0.8595	0.8894

The executive management of the Group monitor the Group's exposure to the concentration of fair value estimation risk on a monthly basis.

Group Sensitivity Analysis

As the Group/Company has no material monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies, the impact associated with a change in the foreign exchange rates is not expected to be material to the Group/Company.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As the Group does not, as yet, have any significant sales to third parties, this risk is limited.

The Group and Company's financial assets comprise receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Group and Company's exposure to credit risk arise from default of its counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated statement of financial position. Expected credit losses were not measured on a collective basis. The various financial assets owed from group undertakings were evaluated against the underlying asset value of the investee, taking into account the value of the various projects undertaken during the period, thus validating, as required the credit loss recognised in relation to amounts owed by group undertakings.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are connected or related entities.

Financial assets exposed to credit risk at period end were as follows:

Financial instruments	Group (£)		Company (£)
	2021	2020	2021	2020

Trade & other receivables	255,747	115,886	73,734	39,085
Cash	2,082,906	256,760	239,674	141,788

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group and Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Cash forecasts are regularly produced to identify the liquidity requirements of the Group.

The Group and Company's financial liabilities as at 31 December 2021 were all payable on demand.

Interest rate risk

The Group and Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group and Company's holdings of cash and short-term deposits.

It is the Group and Company's policy as part of its management of the budgetary process to place surplus funds on short term deposit in order to maximise interest earned.

Group Sensitivity Analysis:

Currently no significant impact exists due to possible interest rate changes on the Company's interest bearing instruments.

Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group may adjust or issue new shares or raise debt. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the period ended 31 December 2021.

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained losses as disclosed in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

Fair values

The carrying amount of the Group and Company's financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair value.

Hedging

As at31 December 2021, the Group had no outstanding contracts designated as hedges.
