Pineapple Power Corporation Plc, a special purpose acquisition company, is pleased to present its interim unaudited results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.
I am pleased to present the Company's interim unaudited financial statements to shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2024.
The period under review was extremely busy as the Company's management and Advisors continued with discussions and negotiations to advance the proposed reverse takeover transaction with the principals of Ilios Hydrogen. This predominantly involved the format of the proposed corporate structure and presentations to a number of investment banking firms in the City of London and elsewhere interested to consider the funding of the combined entities operations and the raising of additional development capital toaddress the costs of the RTO, to secure additional sites inItaly and to establish the production of hydrogen in industrial zones of Italy close to potential off takers of that production.
During the period, on 18 April 2024, the Company was very pleased to announce the Board of Directors' composition going forward, conditional upon the completion of the RTO and the successful raising of the required financing to complete the transaction with Ilios. Dr Graham Cooley, currently a Corporate Advisor to Pineapple Power and CEO of ITM Power agreed to serve as Non-Executive Chairman. Dr Peter Williams, currently Group Technology Director and Head of Investment Relations for INEOS, agreed to serve as a Non-Executive Director and Barry Cunliffe, previously CFO of ITM Power, agreed to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the group.
This development was very much welcomed by the current Board as Dr Cooley enjoys a very high profile in the clean energy industry and is recognised as one of the leading experts in the utilisation of renewable energy produced hydrogen as an alternative fuel for steel production and the heavy goods transport industries. These provisional appointments add a considerable depth of knowledge and experience in the development of the nascent hydrogen industry in Europe and elsewhere and the Company was delighted to welcome, Graham, Peter and Barry to the team.
Ilios Hydrogen is a privately held, Canadian based, international developer of green hydrogen production plants, with an existing portfolio of six sites being developedin Italy,threesites in Canada and more recently a further three sites in the UK. The five-year business plan is to develop, build and operate up to 2,000 MW of sites in Italy, 125 MW of sites in Canada and a further 200 MW of sites in the UK, serving industrial off takers and the mobility markets.
The RTO transaction with Ilios is proceeding, albeit in very difficult market conditions, but the project has aroused considerable interest and excitement in the UK and international financial communities. We will issue further updates on this interesting corporate development when we are able.
We are, as always, grateful for the support of our numerous shareholders.

Pineapple Power Corporation Plc (the "Company'') looks to identify potential companies, businesses or asset(s) that have operations in the clean and renewable energy sector.
The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated and registered in England and Wales, with registration number 09081452.
The Company's registered office is Studio 16, Cloisters House, 8 Battersea Park Road, London SW8 4BG.
The principal accounting policies applied in preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The interim unaudited financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. This interim financial information is not the Company's statutory financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International accounting standards and have been delivered to the Registrars of Companies. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified, did not include references to any matters which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis of matter without qualifying their report and did not contain statements under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2024 is unaudited. In the opinion of the Directors, the interim financial information presents fairly the financial position, and results from operations and cash flows for the period.
The Directors have made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and are aware that the Company requires additional investment to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company is currently involved in advanced discussions with a number of London based investment banks and international financial institutions to address these funding requirements and based on discussions held to date, the Directors have reason to expect that the necessary additional investment will be available and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis.
The financial information of the Company is presentedin British Pounds Sterling (£).
The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal related actual results.
In preparing the interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
No tax is applicable to the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2024. No deferred income tax asset has been recognised in respect of the losses carried forward, due to the uncertainty as to whether the Company will generate sufficient future profits in the foreseeable future to prudently justify this.
Basic loss per ordinary 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 period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
There arecurrently nodilutivepotential ordinary shares.
