SIMON TUCKER, CHAIRMAN OF TAN DELTA, COMMENTED:
"With minimal marketing, the company enjoys significant interest in its real time oil analysis based equipment monitoring solutions. The business enjoys a fundamental base for its position in the market which is its unique core technology and, after several years supplying small numbers to some notable entities such as SHELL, all important credibility. It has developed a focused pipeline of sales opportunities where and is now supporting multiple evaluations that range from the world's largest online retailer who operates hundreds of thousands of gearboxes, to operators of power generators across the middle east. The opportunity is very significant. By their nature the decision and planning to adopt Tan Delta and integrate it into their maintenance and operating plans are significant and long term commitments which require careful planning which takes time to come to fruition and a conversion into sale contracts that realise a customer with repeat sales for many years into the future. This is the reason for the build-up of the sales pipeline and the relatively slow conversion. Given the significant size of some of our opportunities, anyone of which is transformational for the business, the Board has actively guided the management team to focus on these to minimise closure times, before seeking to expand further, and we expect to start to see this happening in the near future."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
Introduction
2024 was a year of strategic groundwork for Tan Delta. Revenue did not meet our initial growth expectations, down 16% to £1.22 million (2023: £1.46 million). This variance was driven primarily by the extended timelines required to mature high-value customer opportunities, reflecting both the complexity and potential scale of our pipeline. We now have over 20 active trials and a commercial pipeline exceeding £35 million, a tenfold increase from the end of 2023. Our challenge has not been a lack of opportunity - in fact, the scale and quality of engagements in our pipeline continue to grow. Conversion of trials to order and the time that takes has been frustrating at times and we have taken numerous steps in our customer engagement processes to standardise our approach to planning and executing trials to address this from which we are already seeing very early positive signs. Much of this is linked to the larger size and scale opportunities now being seen. The key is strategic focus: prioritising the right opportunities where our technology can deliver the greatest impact and applying greater commercial discipline to accelerate conversion. Throughout 2024, we refined our sales processes to sharpen this focus, aligning more closely around defined success criteria and ROI delivery. These steps are already improving visibility into near-term revenue potential, while building a stronger foundation for long-term scalability.
We expanded our production and supply chain capacity to support a fivefold increase in output, appointed a dedicated production manager, and made key hires across engineering, quality, and operations. A dedicated salesperson in the Middle East was recruited in the first half of the year. This will better enable us to respond as trial projects mature into scaled rollouts. Commercially, we signed two new distribution agreements in the Middle East and grew our regional pipeline from zero to over £14 million. We also deepened traction with OEMs, now working in active collaboration with four of the world's seven major engine manufacturers. These partnerships, alongside our increased focus on pilot program success criteria and ROI delivery, are strengthening our path to scaled adoption.
Tan Delta's mission and unique value proposition remains clear: To deploy our unique oil sensing technology and related analytics which has been independently and practically proven to deliver unparalleled sensitivity, accuracy and actionable insight enabling an increasingly diverse global market to reduce their total cost of ownership of critical assets through the safe reduction in oil usage and maintenance costs whilst the continuous real time monitoring prevents unplanned downtime and unnecessary breakdowns. All of which has a positive impact on the environment through a reduced carbon footprint.
Financial Summary
Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2024 was lower than the prior year at £1.22 million (2023: £1.46 million). Our pipeline continues to grow, and we are expecting conversions to flow naturally from that growth through a more normalised sales cycle. To build customer confidence, we have conducted multiple trials of our technology, many of which have exceeded expectations in terms of performance and insights gained. However, often these trials evolve becoming more extensive than anticipated resulting in extended timelines as customers consider the application and benefits of our systems across their equipment portfolio.
A prior year adjustment was made to the financial statements to correct an over expense to the share option reserve in the previous year. A reconciliation of this adjustment can be found in Note 24.
Gross profit margin of 6.12% was achieved (2023: 59.6%), which is in line with our expectations with the improvement primarily due to the specific mix of products sold. We anticipate being able to sustain this level of margin. Our product delivers excellent value and payback to our customers, which in turn means that we believe our product can sustain price increases in line with inflation.
Overheads increased on the prior year, slowly growing resources commensurate with customer and product development activity. Investing wisely ensures we can support business opportunities until conversion and the associated cash generation - whereupon we will permit further growth for the next phase of growth.
At the end of the year, cash and cash equivalents stood at £3.08 million (£4.55 million in 2023). Inventory increased by £0.37 million during the year to £0.73 million as we increased production to meet expected increases in sales. This increase in inventory provides the ability to deliver against increased customer demand alongside scaling manufacturing volumes to align not only with our revenue goals, but with our confidence of conversion of our rapidly growing sales pipeline.
Operations Summary
In terms of operations our target for this year was to rationalise and simplify our supply chain and associated systems and to further enhance our customer support function to continually improve the assistance given to existing and potential customers.
Our systems are in the process of being upgraded to enable us to react to future demand and provide a seamless interface for our customers, and we have also appointed a new quality manager.
We invested in product development primarily around our integral data analytics and online platform to deliver simpler, more meaningful insights, as well as enhancing our solutions to make sure that they are easy to install and integrate ensuring that we maintain our market leading sensor and associated product portfolio. As part of this, we have appointed a new hardware engineer and technical author.
We have also bolstered our operations team by recruitment in the key areas of production and logistics to enable us to quickly react to the expected increases in demand. Other key hires include a new Chief Finance Officer/Chief Operating Officer who brings a wealth of both financial and operational experience, focusing mainly on our day-to-day operations to free up time for critical business development activities whilst retaining financial oversight.
Sales and Marketing
We have seen growing traction in the market, with opportunities and sales during the period spanning several regions and sectors. Around 75% of commercial sales to date have been concentrated in the power generation, industrial equipment and mining sectors with early adoption also emerging in marine, O&G and rail.
Geographically, our solutions are now in use across the UK, Europe, North & South America, Asia and the Middle East, validating the global applicability of our technology. While revenue during the period was below expectations, driven primarily by longer-than-anticipated trial-to-conversion cycles, our commercial momentum continues to build. Our active sales pipeline has grown significantly from £2.5 million at the end of 2023 to over £35 million driven by increased demand for predictive maintenance and sustainability-led asset monitoring. The pipeline is well diversified: over 60% relates to the power generation and equipment rental sectors, with the remainder split across marine, oil & gas, logistics, water utilities, and OEM partnerships.
Whilst the continued growth in pipeline has been encouraging the actual revenue of £1.22 million was lower than previous year. Conversion of this pipeline is now almost exclusively dependent on customer trials whilst as a board we are constantly exploring ways to circumvent this, currently we have to accept that trials are necessary for all significant opportunities and need to be factored into the timeline for conversion.
We currently have over 20 active trials, including engagements with a global logistics firm monitoring tens of thousands of assets, two Middle East rental companies (each with over 2,000 fleet assets), and a UK utility trial monitoring critical gearboxes with potential to scale. Additionally, we are collaborating with several major engine OEMs on multiple projects across marine and power generation applications. These trials typically follow a 6-month to 18- month cycle from initial commercial discussions to installation and conversion, depending on the complexity of integration, length of trial required and the required ROI demonstration.
A key driver of purchasing decisions across segments remains our proven ability to reduce operational costs and unplanned downtime. In one example, our solution demonstrated potential savings exceeding $3,500 per asset per year, a compelling figure for fleet-based operators. Post-period end, we initiated integration discussions with three of the world's largest asset monitoring solution providers, which could enable significant scale and new market access through established ecosystems.
As our pipeline continues to expand, we are evolving our go-to-market strategy. We have deliberately narrowed our focus to a few high-potential market segments, where we are aligning sales, marketing, and product efforts. This approach is designed to drive deeper market penetration, improve brand awareness, and more effectively educate customers on the distinct ROI and reliability advantages of our sensor technology. To support this focus, we have engaged a new marketing agency to help refine our positioning and outreach. Upcoming activities include launching a refreshed website and customer portal, releasing new customer-endorsed case studies, coordinating social media campaigns, and presenting white papers at leading industry events in the UK, North America, and Europe. These efforts are designed to support the conversion of our growing pipeline into repeatable and scalable revenue.
Products
We have continued product development targeted at ensuring that our products are easier to install and commission. Beyond hardware, we are advancing into value-added services by leveraging the vast amount of real-time data our sensors generate. Through our newly developed advanced AI analytics, predictive maintenance capabilities, and a cloud-based platform, we aim to enable the transition from a sensor provider to a data-driven solutions business. This strategic shift enables us to offer enhanced operational insights to customers, driving efficiency, reducing downtime, and unlocking recurring revenue streams through subscription-based services. We have delivered an architecture which allows the flexible deployment of our analytics so that our solution can easily adapt to any current customer ecosystem or IT security demands. Customer demand for this type of solution is growing and allows us to become a Key Strategic Partner to our customers.
We are progressing well with the development of a new sensor for water-based fluids such as coolant, driven by demand from a major engine OEM who has co-funded the project. This product deepens our value in the engine market segment and once validated, will form part of a multi-sensor solution on each asset. Launch is targeted for Q2 2025.
During last year we also tasked TUV (a global organisation that offers solutions for quality, safety and sustainability) with undertaking a series of independent tests to verify the performance of our sensors when looking at overall oil degradation, particulate contamination and fuel dilution. This was successfully concluded with TUV producing both a summary and detailed test report, with an overall conclusion reached by TUV, "During wear metal sensitivity, fuel dilution and end of life tracking testing, the Tan Delta OQSxG2 oil quality sensor was shown to be a very precise and repeatable instrument".
Market and Outlook
Our core sensing technology and analytics continue to be the gold standard for innovative predictive maintenance, based on real-time oil condition, this combined with the fact that all equipment operators want to get more from their assets for less, puts us in a unique position to disrupt the various huge global industrial and commercial markets who can directly benefit from this approach. This is further evidenced by the continued growth in our pipeline, the sheer number of active trials underway (many nearing completion) and the growing number of strategic engagements we have with global OEMs. We remain focused on conversion of the large opportunities and work on these in early 2025 has been continuing.
Summary
In final summary, as always, I would like to convey my very sincere thanks to all of our stakeholders, in particular our excellent staff, our shareholders, our board and key suppliers. Without their continued support, dedication and patience we would not have the opportunity to continue our journey towards sustainable growth and realisation of commercial success.
STRATEGIC REPORT
The directors present their strategic report for the year ending 31 December 2024.
Business Review
The principal activity of Tan Delta is the development and supply of oil condition monitoring equipment into a diverse range of global market delivering services that enable operators of rotating equipment, from trucks and ships to generators and wind turbines, to reduce oil consumption, maintenance costs, breakdowns and carbon footprint.
The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used by the board to monitor performance are revenue growth, gross profit margin, adjusted profit margin and cash conversion. These measures are in line with the Company's strategic objectives of delivering profitable growth which in turn drive shareholder value.
Market Review
The addressable market for Oil Condition Monitoring Equipment is significant. We estimate that there are millions of assets with moving parts (rotating equipment) worldwide, from trucks or ships to generators or wind turbines. The desire of equipment operators to achieve greater reliability, operating cost reduction and efficiency has created a $200 billion global sensor market which is anticipated to reach approximately $500 billion by 2032 with an expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.4% from 2023 to 2032.
Tan Delta has strategically targeted key sectors, including Power Generation, Mining, Commercial Marine, Agriculture, and Transportation. Our product offering is continuously refined to address the specific needs and challenges of these markets, delivering clear and compelling value propositions that drive the adoption of our sensing technology.
Financial Review
Whilst revenue for the year fell by 16% (2024: £1.22 million, 2023: £1.46 million), the Company saw a significant improvement in convertible pipeline opportunities. Although conversion in 2024 was lower than anticipated the opportunities still exist and we remain focused on order acquisition in 2025.
Revenues:
Revenue in the year was generated by sales of oil condition monitoring equipment from a wide range of customers and sectors.
We saw a decrease in revenue achieved in the UK due to a slower than expected roll out with a number of customers. Europe and Rest of the World revenue was consistent with 2023, although many of the higher value opportunities are in the Middle East.
Gross profit:
Gross profit margin improved from 60% in 2023 to 62%, whilst ensuring that our product offering has an attractive return for our customers. Inflation on supply was reduced compared to previous years, any future cost pressure can be passed on through pricing and mitigated by good supply chain management.
Operating expenses:
Operating expenses grew as we deployed the capital raised at the prior year IPO into sales, marketing, and product development teams. There have also been incremental costs as a full year of additional costs related to the listing have been incurred. We have grown the team in order to support our growth strategy and in line with our plans. We have continued to invest in growing the Company's sales and marketing activities alongside developing our product offering.
Loss/profit before tax:
Loss before tax was £1.17 million in 2024 (2023: £1.05 million adjusted loss before tax). During the year, operating expenses increased because of investments in sales, marketing, and product development alongside incremental costs of being a plc. Prior year costs included £0.7million of IPO costs whereas in the current year there are no IPO costs.
Finance income and expenses:
Cash reserves were invested in interest earning bank accounts generating interest income of £0.17 million. (2023: £0.04 million)
Interest expense was accounted for on the right of use asset as per IFRS 16.
Cash:
The year-end cash balance for 2024 was £3.08 million (2023: £4.55 million).
Accounting policies:
The financial information has been prepared consistently in accordance with the UK adopted International Accounting Standards.

A prior year adjustment was made to the financial statements to correct an over expense to the share option reserve in the previous year. Share option costs had been recognised incorrectly for the full year (£76 907) instead of recognising share option charges for five months (£19 089) since they were issued in August 2023.
This results in the loss for the year 31 December 2023 decreasing by £57,818, with the closing balance of the share option reserve also decreasing by this amount to a revised closing balance of £19,089.

In 2024 Tan Delta used 25% (2023:23.52%) as the corporate effective tax rate. The Company was not liable for corporation tax during the past two years due to taxable losses being sustained in each of the years reported. A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of such losses due to uncertainty of future profit streams. The Company will recognise a deferred tax asset when there is clear visibility of profits. Accumulated tax losses carried forward were £2.2m (31 Dec 20223 : £1.1m).

| Earnings per share are as follows: | ||

| (Loss) / Profit for the period attributable to the owners | (1,167,720) | (1,042,285) |
| Number | Number | |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares | 73,223,800 | 58,802,550 |
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the results attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the bonus issue and share split had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The earnings per share calculations for the period and prior period presented are based on the new number of shares.
The number of shares in issue at the end of the period is used as the denominator in calculating basic earnings per share. As the Company is loss making the effect of instruments that convert into ordinary shares is considered anti-dilutive, hence there is no difference between the diluted and non-diluted loss per share.
During the period ended 31 December 2023, the Company completed a 110 for 1 bonus share issue and a subdivision of shares. The Company also issued 23,074,000 as part of the IPO process on 18 August 2023. Prior to the bonus issue there were 451,800 shares at £0.001, after the bonus issue and shares issued at IPO there are 73,223,800 shares at £0.001.

22. Financial instruments and risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments;
· Market risk
· Liquidity risk
· Credit risk
· Foreign exchange risk
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk as well as the Company's management of capital. The Board of directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company`s risk management framework.
The table below sets out the Company's classification of financial assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. There were no financial assets and liabilities in the following category in 2024 and 2023 financial periods;
· Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
The category has therefore been excluded from the tables below:

The estimated net fair values as at 31 December 2024 have been determined using available market information as outlined below. This value is indicative of the amounts the Company could realise in the normal course of business.
The fair value of receivables, bank balances, and payables approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of finance lease liabilities is not significantly different to their carrying values, as the carrying values approximate their fair values.
Financial assets and liabilities disclosures require the measurement of fair values which differ from the carrying values of these financial assets and liabilities. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
The valuation of the Company's financial instruments is based on market observables whereby the owned assets and owed liabilities are similar to, but not the same as, those traded in an active market. In this case, the fair values of the financial instruments reported requires the
use of inputs that are unobservable in the market. As such the fair value hierarchy of the entity's financial instruments is a level 3.
Fair value hierarchy
All financial instruments measured at fair value must be classified into one of the levels below:
· Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets;
· Level 2: Level 1 quoted prices are not available, but fair value is based on observable market data; and
· Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as interest rates will affect the Company's income or expenses. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return on risk.
Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates (i.e. cash flow interest rate risk) on its bank balances and finance leases. It does not at present hedge its exposure to adverse interest rate movements.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises when there are insufficient liquid assets (cash and readily convertible securities) available to meet financial obligations. There were no material changes in the exposure to liquidity risk and its objectives, policies and processes for managing and measuring the risk during the current financial year.
The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses in the short-term including the servicing of financial obligations this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted such as natural disasters.
The following liquid resources are available:

| £ | £ | |
| Trade and other receivables | 309,619 | 274,643 |

Credit risk
This risk represents the risk that the borrower or counterparty fails to meet an obligation when it falls due. The exposures may arise, for instance from deterioration in the borrower's financial position, from a reduction in the value of securities held as collateral and from entering into contracts under which counterparties have an obligation to repay. In order to minimise the risk, the Company endeavours only to deal with companies which are demonstrably creditworthy and this, together with the aggregate financial exposure, is continuously monitored.
IFRS 9 requires the use of forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses - the 'expected credit loss model'. Recognition of credit losses is not dependent on the Company first identifying a credit loss event, instead the Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
When the Company becomes aware of a financial asset that is irrecoverable, the Company writes off the financial asset through the profit and loss. The Company considers its maximum exposure per class to be as followed:
| 12 months ended | 12 months ended | |
| 31-Dec-24 | 31-Dec-23 | |
| £ | £ | |
| Trade and other receivables | 309,619 | 274,643 |
| Bank balance and cash | 3,083,552 | 4,555,003 |
| Total | 3,393,171 | 4,829,646 |
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company determines appropriate internal credit limits for each counterparty. In determining these limits, the Company considers the counterparty's credit rating established by an accredited ratings agency and performs internal risk assessments.
The Company holds its cash balances in financial institutions with a rating of A+ and BBB+.
Given these credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. While cash and cash equivalents are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS9, no impairment losses were identified.

Trade receivables
The Company has adopted a simplified approach for determining expected credit losses which considers the lifetime of assets. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. The expected credit losses are calculated based on the probable defaults which are considered on the historic payment trends of the customer, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Company assesses impairment regularly of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics based on grouping debt by days overdue. On that basis the expected credit loss allowance was determined to be immaterial.
The ageing of trade receivables and credit loss allowances at the reporting date were:

Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when the Company enters into transactions in a currency other than its functional currency. The Company's policy is, where possible, to settle liabilities denominated in a currency other than its functional currency with cash already denominated in that currency.

24. Prior year adjustment
A prior year adjustment was made to the financial statements to correct an over expense to the share option reserve in the previous year. Share option costs had been recognised incorrectly for the full year (£76,907) instead of recognising share option charges for five months (£19,089) since they were issued in August 2023.
This has therefore impacted the following lines of the financial statements:
| 2023 c/f balance | Adjustment | Restated 2023 c/f balance | |
| Admin expenditure | (2,006,329) | 57,818 | (1,948,511) |
| Other reserves | 76,907 | (57,818) | 19,089 |
25. Events after reporting period
No adjusting or significant non-adjusting events have occurred between reporting date and the date of authorisation.
