Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 April 2026
Chief Executive Officer’s Statement
For the six months ended 30 April 2026 The six months ended 30 April 2026 represented a period of significant progress across all areas of the business. The Group’s strategy is built on three equally important pillars: a profitable and growing operating business that generates recurring revenues; a Bitcoin treasury that provides long-term balance sheet strength and capital appreciation; and a disciplined acquisition programme through which we broaden and deepen the Group’s operational platform. Each pillar is designed to reinforce the others, and together they form the foundation of the Group’s long-term strategy.
The acquisition of Squarebird Agency Ltd (“Squarebird”), completed on 20 February 2026, marked an important step in the execution of that strategy. The Group now operates two complementary digital agencies, The Smarter Web Company Operations Limited and Squarebird — both of which are profitable, growing and increasingly working together to win new business and deliver improved outcomes for clients. The operating loss of £2.7 million for the period predominantly reflects the one-off costs associated with the Company’s successful uplisting to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. The reported loss of £71.9 million is almost entirely attributable to a non-cash accounting adjustment arising from the decline in the Bitcoin price during the period. Excluding these non-cash movements, the underlying performance of the business was in line with the Board’s expectations.
The Bitcoin treasury remained the cornerstone of the Group’s balance sheet, with holdings of 2,778 Bitcoin at the period end carrying a market value of £157 million. During the period, the Company established a $30 million Bitcoin-backed credit facility with Coinbase, providing the financial flexibility both to continue accumulating Bitcoin and to fund the repurchase of 42 million pre-IPO warrants, materially reducing the fully diluted share count and increasing the Bitcoin attributable to each share — an outcome the Board considers directly beneficial to existing shareholders.
It is worth reminding shareholders that Bitcoin is a volatile asset and that periods of challenging price action are a feature of its history rather than an exception to it. Every material move higher has been accompanied by periods that test conviction, and the recent price environment is no different. The Directors remain confident in the long-term case for Bitcoin, supported by the material progress we are seeing in institutional adoption, regulatory acceptance and broader mainstream recognition. Our conviction in Bitcoin has never been stronger.
A significant milestone during the period was the Company’s inclusion in the FTSE All-Share and FTSE SmallCap indices with effect from 23 March 2026, achieved within two months of the Main Market admission. Index inclusion extends the Company’s reach to a broader universe of institutional investors, including index-tracking funds, and has enhanced the liquidity profile of the Company’s shares. The Board considers this an important step in establishing The Smarter Web Company as a credible and well-regarded constituent of the UK public markets.
During the period, the Company adopted its Long-Term Incentive Plan, under which nil-cost options were granted to directors and employees. Vesting is conditional upon achievement of demanding share price and market capitalisation milestones, which require substantial appreciation in the value of the business before any benefit is delivered to participants.
The Board enters the second half of the 2026 financial year with confidence. Both operating divisions are performing in line with expectations, the pipeline of acquisition opportunities continues to develop, and the platform established during the period provides a strong foundation from which to execute the Group’s strategy. The Board’s ambition remains unchanged: to build one of the UK’s leading companies, supported by a profitable and growing operating platform, a Bitcoin treasury that delivers long-term capital appreciation, and a disciplined approach to value creation for shareholders.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to our shareholders for their continued support, to our team for their dedication and hard work, and to our advisers and partners for their commitment throughout the period as we aim to make The Smarter Web Company PLC into one of the largest public companies in the UK.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Board has reviewed the principal risks and uncertainties disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report and concluded that they remain applicable for the remainder of the current financial year. A detailed description of these risks is set out on page 16 of the 2025 Annual Report. In addition, the Board has identified two further risks arising during the period that are worthy of note: the risks associated with the Coinbase Bitcoin- backed credit facility, and those relating to the post-acquisition integration of Squarebird.
The Company draws on a $30 million Bitcoin-backed credit facility with Coinbase, secured against the Company's Bitcoin holdings. The principal risk associated with this facility is that a material decline in the Bitcoin price could reduce the value of the collateral relative to the outstanding loan balance, potentially requiring the Company to provide additional collateral or reduce the drawn balance at short notice. The Directors monitor the facility and the collateral coverage ratio on a regular basis and are satisfied that, at current Bitcoin price levels, the Company maintains significant headroom.
The acquisition of Squarebird was completed on 20 February 2026. As with any acquisition, there are integration risks to manage, including the retention of key personnel, the alignment of operational processes and the maintenance of client relationships during the transition period. The Directors consider this risk to be substantially mitigated by the decision to operate Squarebird as a standalone entity under its own brand and management, preserving the culture, client relationships and operational identity that underpinned its pre-acquisition performance. The two businesses will collaborate and cross-refer where opportunities arise, but each will continue to operate independently. The Directors are satisfied that both businesses are performing in line with expectations and will continue to monitor progress during the remainder of the financial year.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 April 2026 1. General information The Smarter Web Company Plc (the “Company”) is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. Its registered address is 160 Aztec West, Almondsbury, Bristol, United Kingdom, BS32 4TU. On 20 February 2026, the Company acquired the entire shareholding of Squarebird Agency Ltd as detailed in note 16. 2. Basis of preparation These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) and have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. They do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in s434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025, which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards.
The interim financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (“GBP”) which is the presentational currency. The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 April 2026 and 2025 have not been audited or reviewed by the auditors. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 October 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements for that period. A copy of those statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025 has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the independent auditors on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Sections 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Going concern
As at 30 April 2026 the Group had a cash balance of £1.3 million (31 October 2025: £1.5 million), and net assets of £135 million (31 October 2025: £210 million).
The Directors have considered the applicability of the going concern basis in the preparation of these interim financial statements. This included the review of internal budgets and financial results which show, taking into account reasonably probable changes in financial performance that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its current funding arrangements.
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have ample resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, underpinned by a significant liquid Bitcoin treasury. The successful completion of several fundraises since the period end has further strengthened the Group’s liquidity position. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the interim financial statements.
Accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using applicable accounting policies and practices consistent with those adopted in the statutory audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025 and those expected to be in force for the year ending 31 October 2026.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires Directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these judgements and estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by Directors in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025, with the addition of the following:
Acquisition of Squarebird Agency Ltd - identifiable assets and liabilities assumed The fair value of intangible assets acquired through business combinations involves the use of valuation techniques and the estimation of future cash flows to be generated over a number of years. Directors are currently finalising the valuation of the intangible assets acquired, and if required, will adjust the provisional fair values recorded in these interim financial statements in the annual financial statements for the year ending 31 October 2026, in line with paragraph 46 of IFRS 3. Further details of the acquisition are included in note 16.
Valuation of share-based payments
During the period ended 30 April 2026, the Group issued share options to its Directors and employees. Accounting for equity-settled share-based payments requires the use of valuation models to estimate their fair values and vesting periods. These models require the Directors to make assumptions regarding the share price volatility, risk free rate and expected life of awards in order to determine the fair values of the awards at grant date. Further details are included in note 14. 3. Segmental disclosures Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions. The Group consists of one operating segment, being the provision of website development services, which encompasses the Group’s two operating subsidiaries: The Smarter Web Company Operations Limited and Squarebird Agency Ltd. Therefore, no segmental reporting is presented.

Loss per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares in issue during the year. As the Group is loss making, the effect of instruments that convert into Ordinary shares is considered anti-dilutive.
The weighted average number of shares used in the calculations are set out below:

The fair value of Bitcoin as at 30 April 2026 was calculated by reference to the unadjusted market price as at 23:59 UK time on 30 April 2026, provided by the Group’s bitcoin broker, which is a Level 1 input under the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13. Had Bitcoin been measured on a historical cost basis, its carrying value would have been £228,487,638 as at 30 April 2026 (31 October 2025: £220,547,184). As at 30 April 2026, the Group held 2778 Bitcoin of which 177.89 were funded by the Smarter Convert CLN (refer to note 11). 10. Intangible assets
On 5 August 2025, the Company issued a convertible loan note (“Smarter Convert CLN”) raising gross proceeds of £15,803,733, which were used to acquire 177.8909127 Bitcoins and are held in a segregated wallet. The instrument is interest-free and has a term of one year. On maturity, the instrument can be settled as follows, at the option of the noteholders (“Settlement”):
(i) Full or partial conversion of the notes into Company shares at £2.0475 per share; or (ii) Transfer of the Bitcoin acquired less transaction costs; or (iii) Payment of the equivalent of the value of Bitcoin in GBP, USD, or EUR;
The noteholders have the option to trigger Settlement at any time. The Company has the option to trigger Settlement after 5 February 2026, if both the market price of the Company shares exceeds £3.07125 per share for 10 consecutive trading days, and the percentage increase in the Company’s share price over that period exceeds the percentage increase in the price of Bitcoin.

On 24 February 2026 the Company entered into a facility agreement with Coinbase on the following terms: (i) Facility size: $30 million;
(ii) Security: secured against Bitcoin holdings held within Coinbase;
(iii) Interest: charged daily on cash drawn down;
(iv) Fees: no fees other than interest on cash used; and (v) Maturity: no fixed maturity date; repayable at the Company's discretion.

* On acquisition of subsidiary, a merger relief reserve of £530,934 was recognised on the shares issued. On 02 January 2026, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares at par value pursuant to a subscription agreement with its broker (“ATM Facility Shares”). Under the agreement, the Company issues its shares to the broker at their nominal value and the broker may sell ordinary shares on behalf of the Company subject to agreed restrictions, including weekly volume limits linked to market trading closing price, and the Company will benefit by receiving approximately 97% of the net proceeds of any sales of the shares achieved by the broker. As at 30 April 2026, none of the ATM Facility Shares have been placed by Company’s broker and therefore no share premium has been recognised in respect of these shares. ATM Proceeds represent the proceeds received by the Company from its broker under a previous ATM facility. Of the capital raised, £115,830 was received after the balance sheet date and is included within trade and other receivables balance.
Deferred shares
On 19 March 2026, the Company repurchased all 7,050,000 Deferred shares in issue for a total consideration of 1 pence. The acquisition was financed through the issue of 1 Ordinary share. A capital redemption reserve of £345,450 was therefore recognised in equity. 13. Warrant reserve

Share-based payments Long-term incentive plan On 27 April 2026 (“Grant Date”), the Group granted nil-cost options (“Options”) to its executive directors and employees under its Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The number of Options granted to each option holder is not fixed, but is linked to the percentage of the Company’s issued share capital on achievement of each performance milestone. There are 20 performance conditions linked to the Company achieving either a share price threshold or a market capitalisation threshold for 30 consecutive calendar days. The performance milestones and the corresponding number of Options that would be issued as a percentage of Company’s issued share capital is detailed below:

(i) On achievement of each Performance Milestone, the relevant number of Options vest in tranches as follows: a. If achieved before 3rd anniversary of Grant Date:
1/3 vests on 3rd anniversary of Grant Date;
1/3 vests on 4th anniversary of Grant Date;
1/3 vests on 5th anniversary of Grant Date.
b. If achieved after 3rd anniversary of Grant Date but before 4th anniversary of Grant Date:
1/3 vests immediately;
1/3 vests on 4th anniversary of Grant Date;
1/3 vests on 5th anniversary of Grant Date.
c. If achieved after 4th anniversary of Grant Date but before 5th anniversary of Grant Date:
2/3 vests immediately;
1/3 vests on 5th anniversary of Grant Date;
d. If achieved after 5th anniversary of Grant Date:
Full vesting immediately;
(ii) All unexercised Options lapse by the tenth anniversary of Grant Date;
(iii) Continuous employment of the option holder at the date of vesting, subject to customary change of control provisions and good leaver provisions.
(iv) Each Performance Milestone is reduced by dividends paid on ordinary shares as appropriate. The LTIP includes customary malus and clawback provisions.
Therefore, Options linked to each Performance Milestone represent a separate award with a corresponding fair value and vesting period.
The vesting period of the Options is variable and linked to market-based performance condition. A Monte Carlo model was used to calculate both the fair value of the Options at the date of grant and to estimate their most likely vesting periods. The inputs into the valuation are detailed below:
Company share price at Grant Date 37.0 pence Exercise price (pence) Nil Expected exercise date Immediately on vesting Dividend yield 0% Annual risk-free rate 4.97%
