The Directors present the interim report, together with the unaudited interim condensed financial statements (the "Condensed Interim Financial Statements") of Harvest Technology p.l.c. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the period 1 January to 30 June 2025.
The principal activity of the Company is that of acting as a holding company. The Group is mainly involved in the development, sale, maintenance and servicing of information including banking, healthcare, enterprise and electronic payment systems as well as security and automation equipment.
The Group is a multi-brand information technology solutions provider to businesses and the public sector. In addition, the Group acts as a payments solutions provider offering e-commerce processing services for retailers and internet-based merchants together with the provision of a wide range of automation, building management solutions and security solutions catering to the banking, retail, hospitality, healthcare, law enforcement and other sectors.
Through the wide range of services and experience in technology, the Group is positioned to continue to develop and offer a broad range of state-of-the-art solutions and assure an excellent quality of service to its customers.
The published figures have been extracted from the unaudited management financial statements for the halfyear ended 30 June 2025 and its comparative period in 2024.
During the period under review, the Group registered revenue of € 7,323,419 (1 January to 30 June 2024: € 9,089,978). This led to an operating loss of € 87,660 (1 January to 30 June 2024: € 930,756 profit). The loss before tax for the period amounted to € 90,255 (1 January to 30 June 2024: € 917,424 profit). Loss after tax for the period amounted to € 57,992 (1 January to 30 June 2024: € 608,998 profit after tax). The Group's net assets as at 30 June 2025 amounted to € 13,301,067(31 December 2024: € 13,700,815).
During the first half of the year, revenue from retail and IT solutions contracted compared to the same period last year due to the timing of the completion of projects in 2024 which did not re-occur in the period under review. This also effected contract assets which decreased due to these major projects being completed and shifting to shorter-term service engagements.
The payment processing services segment saw a 4% rise in private sector processing volume compared to the same period in 2024. However, revenue dropped by 13% year-on-year due to pricing pressure from the international gaming sector. With the near-completion to the new Synthesis payment orchestration platform, average monthly transaction volume for the first half of 2025 was €118M, up 8% from 2024.
Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, the Group remains cautiously optimistic, with Apco Limited and PTL Limited expected to finalise key projects and leverage a solid pipeline for increased revenue and profit.
The Group also plans to invest in organic growth of its businesses, including the payment processing business and international development of the Retail and IT solutions segments.
The Company earned investment income and management fees of € 615,314 and € 285,000, respectively (1 January to 30 June 2024: € 615,262 and € 305,551). After accounting for finance income, finance costs and administrative expenditure, the Company registered a profit after tax of € 351,817 (1 January to 30 June 2024: € 254,617). The net assets of the Company as at 30 June 2025 amounted to € 12,798,577(31 December 2024: € 12,788,470).
The results for the period ended 30 June 2025 are shown in the statements of profit or loss on page 5. The Group's loss for the period after taxation was € 57,992(1 January to 30 June 2024 € 608,998 profit after tax).
During the period under review, the Directors proposed a final net dividend of €341,710, equivalent to €0.015 per share for financial year ending 31 December 2024. This was paid by the Company on 24 April 2025.
Moreover, on the 25 August 2025, the Directors proposed an intexim net dividend of €341,710, equivalent to €0.015 per share for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. This is expected to be paid by 19 September 2025.
Following a year of internal optimisation of group resources, the Directors consider that the Group is well placed to sustain the desired level of activity and return in the foreseeable future.
There were no adjusting or significant non-adjusting events that have occurred between the end of the reporting period and the date of authorisation by the Board.
This report is being published in terms of Rule 5.75 of the Capital Markets Rules issued by the Malta Financial Services Authority and has been prepared in accordance with the applicable Rules and International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. This half-yearly report comprises the condensed consolidated interim financial statements which have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's independent auditors. The financial statements published in this half-yearly report have been condensed with the requirements of IAS 34. The comparative statements have been extracted from the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 and the management accounts for the period ending 30 June 2024.

Some accounting amendments which have become effective from 1 January 2025 and have been adopted by the Group and the Company do not have a significant impact on the Group and Company's financial results or position. Accordingly, the Group and the Company have made no changes to its accounting policies in 2025.
Other Standards and amendments that are effective for the first time in 2025 and could be applicable to the Group are:
· Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)
These amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application and therefore no disclosures have been made.
Several new, but not yet effective, standards, amendments to existing standards, and interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these standards, amendments or Interpretations have been adopted early by the Group and the Company.
Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New standards, amendments and interpretations neither adopted not listed by the Group and the Company have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group and Company's financial statements.
The Group operates two business activities which are the sale of payment processing services and the provision of IT solutions and security systems. Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these lines requires different resources. All inter segment transfers for management services are carried out on a cost basis.

An impairment loss is recognised for the anount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the process of measuring expected future cash flows management makes assumptions about future operating results. These assumptions relate to future events and circumstances. The actual results may vary and may cause significant adjustments to the Group's assets within the next financial year.
In most cases, determining the applicable discount rate involves estimating the appropriate adjustment to market risk and the appropriate adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.
The Group tests goodwill semi-annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill or intangibles might be impaired. Determining whether the carrying amounts of goodwill can be realised requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate to calculate present value.
Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated, to the cash-generating units ("CGUs") that are expected to benefit from that business combination.
At 30 June 2025, goodwill was allocated as follows:
The recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined from the value in use calculation. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling prices and direct costs during the period. The Directors estimate discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the growth rates are based on industry growth forecasts. Changes in selling prices and direct costs are based on past practices and expectations of future changes in the market.

The Group tests intangible assets with an indefinite useful life annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that intangibles might be impaired. Determining whether the carrying amounts of these assets can be realised requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future expected to arise from the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
Based on the assessments carried out as disclosed in note 6, the directors expect the carrying amount of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life to be recoverable.

Other related parties consist of related parties other than the parent, entities with joint control or significant influence over the company, subsidiaries, joint ventures in which the company is a venture and key management personnel of the company or its parent company.
The Directors consider the ultimate controlling patty to be Mr Carmelo Hili, who, through his interest in Hili Ventures Limited, holds 62.98% (31 December 2024: 62.98 %) of the voting rights in the Company.
No expense has been recognised in the period for impairments in respect of amounts due by related parties and there are no provisions for impairment in respect of outstanding amounts due by related parties.
The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments.
The Group's risk management is coordinated by the Directors and focuses on actively securing the Group's short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial risks.
The objectives, policies and processes for managing financial risks and the methods used risks are subject to continual improvement and development. Where applicable, any significant changes in the Group's exposure to financial risks or the manner in which the Group manages and measures these risks are disclosed below. Any re-assessment of risk considered by management to be of significance has been disclosed in the appropriate risk analysis below.
Foreign currency transactions arise when the Group buys or services whose price is denominated in a foreign currency, borrows of lends when the amounts payable or receivable are denominated in a foreign currency or acquires or disposes of assets, or incurs or settles liabilities, denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign currency transactions comprise mainly transactions in USD and GBP.
The risk arising from foreign currency transactions is managed by regular monitoring of the relevant exchange rates and management's reaction to material movements thereto.
The Group has receivables with a fixed coupon. The Group also has cash at bank which is not subject to significant fluctuations in interest rates.
As a result, the Group is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as most of its interest bearing receivables and payables are either subject to a fixed interest rate or to a rate which is not considered by management to be subject to significant fluctuations until full settlement of the borrowings, which comprise mainly borrowings from bank.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group is exposed to credit risk from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents held at banks, loans and receivables, trade and other receivables.
The credit risk is managed both at the level of each individual subsidiary as well as on a Group basis, based on the Group's credit risk management policies and procedures.
Loans and receivables and certain trade receivables comprise amounts due from related parties. The Group and company's concentration to credit risk arising from these receivables are considered limited as there were no indications that these counterparties are unable to meet their obligations. Management considers these to be of good credit quality.
The Group and the company hold money exclusively with institutions having high quality external credit ratings. The cash and cash equivalents held with such banks at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 are callable on demand. One of the banks with whom cash and cash equivalents are held forms part of an international Group with an A crecit tating by Standard and Poor's and similar high ratings by other agencies. The Group also holds cash with a local bank having a credit rating of BBB by Standard and Poor's. Cash held by the Group with other local banks for which no credit rating is available are not significant. Management considers the probability of default from such banks to be close to zero and the amount calculated using the
12-month expected credit loss model to be very insignificant. Therefore, based on the above, no loss allowance has been recognised by the Group and the Company.
The Group assesses the credit quality of its customers by taking into account their financial standing, past experience and other factors, such as bank references and the customers' financial position.
Management is responsible for the quality of the Group's credit portfolios and has established credit processes involving delegated approval authorities and credit procedures, the objective of which is to build and maintain assets of high quality.
Individual risk limits are set in accordance with limits set by the utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Each new individual customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represents the maximum open amount without requiring approval from management. Customers that fail to meet the Group's benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.
The Group's policy is to deal only with credit worthy counterparties. The credit terms is generally between 30 and 90 days. The credit terms for customers as negotiated with customers are subject to an internal approval process as abovementioned. The ongoing credit risk is managed through regular review of ageing analysis, together with credit limits per customer.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various industries in Malta and abroad.
The Expected Credit Loss (ECL) as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 was estimated based on a range of forecast economic scenarios as at that date.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables as these items do not have a significant financing component.
In measuring the expected credit losses, the trade receivables have been assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due and also according to the geographical location of customers.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profile for sales over the past 36 months before 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 respectively as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking macroeconomic factors affecting the customer's ability to settle the amount outstanding. The Group has identified gross domestic product (GDP) and unemployment tates of the countries in which the customers are domiciled to be the most relevant factors and accordingly adjusts historical loss rates for expected changes in these factors. However given the short period exposed to credit tisk, the impact of these macroeconomic factors has not been considered significant within the reporting period.
There are no particular indicators that the assessment of the expected credit risk model adopted by the Group materially varies from expectations of collectability and previous patterns of payments from such customers. While the Group continues to closely monitor all of its financial assets at more frequent intervals as a result of such events, management considers that the level of ECL provisions at period end remains adequate.
The Group's exposure to liquidity risk arises from its obligations to meet its financial liabilities, which comprise trade and other payables and other financial liabilities. Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash to ensure the availability of an adequate amount of funding to meet the Group's and Company's obligations when they become due.
Management considers that the Group is not exposed to a significant amount of liquidity risk as it continues to efficiently manage its liquidity needs on a timely basis. The Group has not encountered any particular difficulties to collect amounts due from customers and collections remain within expectations as explained above.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hieratchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
At 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities classified with current assets and current liabilities respectively approximated their fair values due to the shortterm maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The fair values of non-current financial liabilities and the non-current loans and receivables are not materially different from their carrying amounts due to the fact that the interest rates are considered to represent market rates at the year-end or because they are repayable on demand. The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in the level 2 category above have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the company and the Group determine when transfers are deemed to have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy at the end of each reporting period.
At 30 June 2025, the Group's subsidiaries had guarantees amounting to € 252,660 (at 31 December 2024. € 213,360) in favour of third parties for projects being executed in Malta.
