We are pleased to deliver for our shareholders. Revenue for 1H25 increased 87% against 1H24, with the Group signing what is potentially its largest ever contract to supply YouTube Creator Service Partner ("CSP") services, which is expected to be worth approximately
Gross profit increased by 62%, as the sales mix drove a slightly lower margin than in 1H24. This has meant that the Group maintained positive monthly operating cash flow, allowing for atypical working capital movements, driven primarily by timing of supplier payments, during the period.
Shareholders demonstrated their support for the Group by providing additional growth capital through the exercise of warrants and, combined with the Group's operating cashflow during the period, this resulted in cash of
Outlook and Interview
Growth has continued into the second half with the Board now expecting for revenue for the 12 months to
"Our upward turn is now in full swing - both in terms of sales and EBITDA. As announced a few weeks ago, our first half of 2025 saw the Group continue to grow its operations rapidly. Since the end of the period, we have continued signing up new business and we are confident that we will achieve more than
Market demand for AI-infused video moments is very strong and we are well-positioned for customers ranging from content creators to product companies seeking to boost sales and training, as well as to better service customers, and sports organisations. We have successfully managed to grow both the CSP and the technology parts of our business and we have seen increased cross-selling and increased demand from clients for our full product suite.
I am also very grateful to our shareholders for their ongoing support for the business, including the recent warrant exercise to provide further capital to the Group. From our now solid foundation, we can deploy capital to accelerate customer growth, potentially through partnerships or acquisitions, in sectors where our combined offering of CSP and technology is strongest, such as sports, commerce and music.
I look forward to a strong finish to 2025 and maintaining our rapid growth momentum for the foreseeable future."

CEO's Statement
Overview
During 1H25 and into the third quarter, we have continued to execute on our strategy of selling our technology products and associated CSP services to customers across our target markets. This focus has driven substantial growth, with revenues in 1H25 increasing by 87% against 1H24 to
In addition to expanding our customer base, we have secured larger-scale contracts, including signing what is potentially our largest ever CSP services contract, expected to be worth approximately
We have also continued to achieve notable wins in the sports and entertainment verticals, where our technology powers video-led websites, video commerce, and interactive engagement. Across these customers, we continue to see strong engagement metrics, with an average 9% clickthrough rate from sports videos, linked directly to sales, driving in some cases 100%+ ROI.
Furthermore, we continue to deepen relationships with CSP customers, upselling our technology solutions to leverage their back catalogues more efficiently. These upsells have enabled certain key customers to drive up to 25% more revenue through enhanced clipping, re-mixing, and video commerce functionality.
Our implementations continue to generate valuable case studies that demonstrate strong ROI and repeatable sales patterns. These case studies are now accelerating larger opportunities with sports clubs, leagues, and major publishers, as well as opening reseller opportunities with digital marketing agencies that are adopting our video commerce solution as a differentiated offering for their clients. In addition to this, we have been piloting our training solutions based on Key Video Moments and we expect this to be an additional driver of growth in 2026.
Our strengthened financial position underpins this growth trajectory. As at
Outlook
The first nine months of 2025 have demonstrated both the scalability and profitability of our solutions, delivering strong revenue growth and repeatable sales across multiple industries. With a robust sales pipeline that includes significant opportunities in sports, publishing, training, and digital marketing, as well as expansion through resellers and strategic partners, we are well-positioned to build on our progress.
We are extremely grateful to all of our shareholders for their support, including the warrant exercise in

2 Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation and changes to the Group's accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial information are consistent with those of the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for both the completed period ended
Statement of compliance

This interim consolidated financial information is presented in US Dollars ($), rounded to the nearest dollar.
Foreign currencies
Functional and presentational currency
Items included in this interim consolidated financial information are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates which is considered by the Directors to be Pounds Sterling (£) for the
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of interim consolidated 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 the related actual results.
In preparing this interim consolidated financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
Development expenditure
The Group recognises costs incurred on development projects as an intangible asset which satisfies the requirements of IAS 38. The calculation of the costs incurred includes the percentage of time spent by certain employees and contractors on relevant development projects. The decision whether to capitalise and how to determine the period of economic benefit of development projects requires an assessment of the commercial viability of the projects and the prospect of selling the project to new or existing customers. During the six months ended
Going Concern
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future, and for this reason they have adopted the going concern basis of preparation in the consolidated interim financial statements.
3 Trade Payable and Receivables
The majority of trade payables and receivables relate to receivables from YouTube and payables to creator partners. In addition, trade and other payables includes accruals for expenses to be accrued during the year, payments to consultants who are paid monthly in arrears and historic liabilities of the acquired businesses that relate to payables more than two years ago and the Group does not expect to need to pay.
