CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
I am pleased to provide a review of Kibo Energy PLC ("Kibo" or
the "Company") and its subsidiaries' (together with Kibo, the
"Group") activities during the period and to present our full-year
audited accounts for 2021.
As you know we announced a significant strategy shift in June
2021 , largely prompted by a global surge in clean energy policies
and investment aimed at putting the energy system on track to
achieve the global Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development as was reiterated during COP 26. This
made it increasingly difficult to promote and fund our fossil fuel
energy projects, notwithstanding intended integration of renewable
energy components in the development of these projects, and also
notwithstanding the fact that much of sub-Saharan Africa is still
largely reliant on fossil fuels, and will be for the foreseeable
future.
The underlying strategic concept of the Kibo Strategy assumes
long term energy solutions as a key enabler for Sustainability in a
circular economy. Kibo therefore restated its strategy t o advance
the Company as a significant developer of sustainable energy
solutions, integrating renewable and alternative generation with
energy storage. Kibo will therefore, forthwith, focus on the
acquisition, development and operation of a portfolio of
sustainable, renewable energy assets and dispose of, or reposition,
our fossil fuel utility projects.
The establishment and maintenance of a sustainable project
pipeline that will be delivering production assets therefore
remains a main high-level target. This requires exclusive focus on
the rapidly expanding renewable and clean energy markets to produce
a pipeline of new projects in the United Kingdom ("UK) and SADC
("Southern African Development Community") Countries, some of which
have already been acquired and currently being integrated into the
Company structure.
I am pleased to reflect on the joint investment with South
African group Industrial Green Energy Solutions (IGES) to convert
un-recyclable plastic to syngas (using pyrolysis) in energy starved
South Africa, for industrial power production. We recently
announced progress on the first of various projects in the project
pipeline and look forward to the anticipated financial close later
in 2022 of the first 2.7 MW phase, for which we have a private
industrial off-take agreement. Success with this phase will bode
well for the rapid expansion of this project to its full c. 8 MW
potential. It will also bolster the development of the project
pipeline, aimed at a conducive South African energy market segment
driven by the demand for Independent Power Producers and recent
legislative restrictions on the disposal of certain plastics. As
the UK Government sets out to deliver energy security and
accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy it understands
that it will require urgent and ambitious action at home and
abroad. Its strategy continues to be based on the principle that
independently regulated, competitive energy markets, are the most
cost-effective and efficient way of delivering its objectives. We
are also leveraging our growing experience in the waste-to-energy
in the pursuit of various waste-to-energy opportunities in the
UK-market.
Our renewed strategy will benefit from the Company's experience
in the renewable energy sector in recent years. This has been
acquired historically through our work in developing renewable
energy and storage solutions for integration with its large utility
coal projects as well as being the cornerstone promoter behind its
55% AIM subsidiary, Mast Energy Developments PLC ("MED"). After MED
completed a successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange in 2021,
raising GBP5.54 million to acquire a 50 MW reserve power portfolio
in the short to medium term it already has a 9 MW site in
production, 5 MW site under construction, 4.4 MW in development and
a further four sites totalling 29 MW in an advanced stage of
acquisition.
Unfortunately, the change in the Group's strategy during 2021 to
move toward renewable energies coupled with global divestments in
fossil fuel assets, resulted therein that the Group recognised
impairment of GBP20,088,240 related to its coal assets.
Notwithstanding the impairment, the disposal plans for our legacy
fossil fuel energy projects in Tanzania, Mozambique and Botswana,
are progressing well with expressions of interest currently under
evaluation.
The result for the reporting period amounted to a loss of
GBP23,148,155 for the year ended 31 December 2021 (31 December
2020: GBP6,417,237) as detailed further in the Statement of Profit
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, and further details on
financial activities are detailed elsewhere in the Annual
Report.
In closing, I would like to acknowledge the support of our
shareholders and all stakeholders as we position the Company for a
next exiting phase of development. I would like to thank our Board,
as well as management under the strong leadership of our CEO, Louis
Coetzee, for their vision, hard work and tenacity to take advantage
of the new opportunities emerging in the green economy by
re-positioning Kibo.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
Introduction
Kibo's focus during 2021 was to acquire new projects to underpin
its strategy to advance Kibo as a significant developer of
sustainable energy solutions, integrating Renewable and Alternative
Generation with Energy Storage in the UK and Southern Africa.
Leveraging its growing experience in these areas and its partner
network, Kibo has been successful in establishing the project
portfolio described below.
Operations
Sustineri Energy Joint Venture - Waste-to-Energy Project (South
Africa)
On 18 May 2021, we announced an agreement with South
Africa-based Industrial Green Solutions (Pty) Ltd ('IGES') to
jointly develop a portfolio of Waste to Energy projects in South
Africa with an initial target of generating more than 50 MW of
electricity for sale to industrial users which was finalized at the
end of July 2021.
Under the terms of this agreement, Kibo has acquired 65% of
Sustineri Energy (35% held by IGES), which holds an initial seven
waste-to energy project pipeline utilizing Pyrolysis technologies
to convert waste non-recyclable plastics to syngas for the
generation of energy. The Pyrolysis technology will be supplied by
a local international technology firm in the form of a waste to
energy conversion plant with Syngas stored on site and fed into gas
engines to generate electrical power. The agreement, which was
completed in July 2021, requires Kibo to fund Sustineri, commencing
with an amount of GBP 560,000 as an equity loan for the development
of this first project ("Project 1") more details of which are given
below.
Project 1, the most advanced project, involves the development,
construction, and operation of an 8 MW Base Load Waste to Energy
Generation facility to be developed in 4 X 2 MW phases over about 3
years for an industrial business park developer in Gauteng, South
Africa. A recent 10-year take-or-pay conditional Power Purchase
Agreement (`PPA') to generate baseload electricity from the first
2.7 MW phase of the development was signed by the Off taker and
announced by the Company in February 2022 together with a further
update on this initial project.
An optimised financial model for the first 2.7 MW phase 1
(updated from initial planned 2 MW) of Project 1 has provided an
estimated Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation & Interest
(EBITDA) of c. GBP18 million over the life of project of which an
amount of c. GBP11.5 million is attributable to the Company and an
Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of between 11% - 14%. The Capital
Expenditure (CAPEX) for the project is estimated at c. GBP8.35
million with financial close anticipated in the fourth quarter of
2022 with construction to commence in the first quarter of 2023 and
taking between 11 and 14 months to complete. Project 1 is
attracting strong funding interest (project and debt funding) from
various investors with whom Sustineri is currently negotiating with
a view to meeting its target financial close date in the fourth
quarter this year.
The Project will provide the business park with cleaner
electricity, by making use of a high temperature pyrolysis process,
where selected non-recyclable plastics will undergo thermal
degradation to produce high quality syngas, which will in turn feed
gas engines to generate both electricity and heat energy.
Additionally, there is potential to sell the heat energy generated
as a by-product from the gas engines directly to customers inside
the industrial park. A fuel feedstock supply agreement is already
in place with a waste management operator for 100% of the first
phase (2,7MW) of the project and land acquisition and waste
licensing is in progress. Air emissions License and grid connection
approval processes are in progress.
In addition to Project 1, there are at least 6 other projects at
different sites identified and off-take discussions are planned in
the short term. These additional projects can yield as much as 50
MW. Kibo will be developing the project portfolio with Lesedi
Nuclear Services (Pty) Ltd as strategic partner for EPC and
Operations and Management services. For South Africa, the Pyrolysis
technology provides a perfect solution to the disposal of plastics
in the country, which up until now is high cost and subject to
cumbersome procedures and under most recent legislation prohibits
the disposal of plastics with a CV (Calorific Value) of more than
20 CV in landfill facilities. As an Independent Power Producer,
Sustineri will enable its industrial clients to operate
independently from the National Utility, Eskom, and secure stable
power supplies.
Billingham Joint Venture - Waste-to-Energy Project (UK)
In September 2021, Kibo signed a Heads of Terms with AIM-listed
UK company, EQTEC plc, a world-leading gasification solutions
company, to acquire a 54.54% interest in its proposed 25 MW
capacity Billingham waste gasification and power plant at Haverton
Hill, Teesside, UK. Under the Heads of Terms, it is expected that
Kibo will acquire a 54.54% equity stake in a new project company
(Project SPV) to be incorporated with EQTEC holding 45.46% with the
final holdings to be confirmed following a follow-on shareholders'
agreement which is currently being negotiated.
Billingham is at an advanced stage of development with a concept
design for the full plant produced, planning permission approved,
grid connection secured & technical due diligence with
technology insurance providers completed. The project is expected
to annually process 200,000 metric tonnes of non-recyclable
everyday municipal solid waste into 25 MW of green electricity,
enough to power 50,000 homes. Under the Heads of Terms, Kibo's
initial funding contribution will be GBP3 million paid as an equity
subscription, plus convertible shareholder loan facilities, and
Kibo will have the option to provide additional convertible
shareholder loan facilities to the Project SPV and/or convert
future project development fees into further equity in the project
in the future.
The Billingham project rights will be held by the Project SPV
and will include all technology license agreements, all equipment
supply and maintenance agreements with EQTEC and all rights to the
site under the existing agreements with third parties. EQTEC will
remain as the lead development manager on the Project, providing
the design and core Advanced Gasification Technology and
subsequently retaining the maintenance portion of the O&M
contract upon commissioning.
Legacy Coal Projects - Tanzania, Botswana and Mozambique
Notwithstanding the successful transition toward the renewable
energy strategy during the 2021 financial period, the Group
continued to pursue the possible development of its Mbeya Coal to
Power and Mabaseka Coal to Power Project during 2021, however the
increase in global scepticism around the development of fossil fuel
projects coupled with expansion toward renewable energy resulted in
the phasing out of coal assets across global markets in lieu of
renewable energy assets. These factors culminated in the Group
performing an impairment assessment as the carrying amount of the
Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabaseka Coal to Power Project asset is
unlikely to be recovered in full of successful development or by
sale. Following various consultations with third parties, the Group
concluded that the fair value of its coal asset was estimated to be
approximately GBP5,504,216, which is significantly lower than the
value in use determined in preceding financial periods as a result
of the declining demand for fossil fuel projects and the Group's
move toward renewable energies, as executed toward the latter part
of the 2021 financial period
It was therefore concluded that an impairment of GBP20,088,240
was necessary in the 2021 financial period related specifically to
the Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabaseka Coal to Power Projects.
The Group still believes these coal deposits which still offer
opportunities for commercialization to parties with longer term
investment horizons commensurate with the further refinement of new
clean coal burning technologies and conversion of coal to gas with
associated carbon capture systems.
Investments
Mast Energy Developments Plc ("MED") - Reserve Power (UK)
During 2021, Kibo facilitated the IPO on the Official List of
the London Stock Exchange plc by way of a Standard Listing of its
equity interest in MAST Energy Developments plc, previously a
wholly owned subsidiary, with MED raising GBP5.54 million through
Clear Capital Markets Ltd from its IPO. On the date of listing a
market capitalisation of GBP23 million was allocated to MAST Energy
Developments. Kibo retains a 55.37% equity interest in MED.
Since its IPO in April 2021, MED has made solid progress towards
its target of assembling a portfolio of well-located flexible power
sites in the UK of up to 300 MW of flexible power generating
capacity within the next two to three years. During 2021 the
company acquired and re-commissioned the fully operational 9 MW
Pyebridge peaking power plant and a 4.4. MW shovel ready site at
Rochdale for the development of a peaking power plant or a battery
storage site, both sites being located in the West Midlands of the
UK. These sites are in addition to the Bordesley site which is now
in the early construction phase for a 5 MW peaking power plant.
Together with Pyebridge, Rochdale and Bordersley, MED is at an
advanced stage of acquisition on three further UK sites which when
completed will bring its total portfolio of projects, operational
and under development/construction to 47 MW. Further information on
these projects and the latest MED updates can be found on its
website at www.med.energy .
Katoro Gold Plc - Mineral Exploration (South Africa &
Tanzania)
The Company retains a 21% investment in Katoro Gold plc (AIM:
KAT) where progress on its Tanzania and South African projects is
being made at a steady pace during 2021. Unfortunately, a planned
listing and IPO on the London Stock Exchange for the Blyvoor gold
tailings joint venture in South Africa had to be postponed in
December when one of the joint venture partners failed to meet all
conditions precedent to enable the re-structuring of the joint
venture holding structure in preparation for the planned
listing.
While disappointing, Blyvoor remains a substantial gold asset,
especially in light of the current gold price upsurge, with a clear
path to commercial development clearly indicated, Katoro continues
to explore funding options to enable it to construct a mine and put
Blyvoor into production as soon as possible.
On its Tanzanian projects, Katoro completed two phases of
drilling on its Haneti Nickel-PGM Project in which it holds a 65%
interest. The results from a first phase comprising 1,965 meters of
rotary air blast drilling completed in April 2021 gave sufficient
encouragement for a follow-on 900 meters diamond drilling programme
which has recently been completed (February 2022), the results of
which enables Katoro to refine the geological modelling and vector
in on target areas for next stage work. Katoro also recently
announced in March 2022 that it has regained a joint venture
interest in the Imweru Gold Project in Tanzania which it had
previously sold. It has now cancelled the sale and restructured the
transaction as an incorporated joint venture with the previous
purchaser, private Australian company, Lake Victoria Gold, to
develop the gold asset. The joint venture provides for Lake
Victoria Gold to earn up to 80% of the project by arranging all
funding, while Katoro retains the remaining 20% as a carried
interest. Further information on the Katoro projects and the latest
updates can be found on its website at www.katorogold.com .
Corporate
During 2021 the Company issued 709,016,602, new ordinary shares
at prices per shares between 0.2p and 0.4p. This comprised issue of
188,431,556 shares in respect of warrant exercises for which the
Company received GBP697,726, a further 90,585,046 shares in
settlement of invoices to service providers and in part settlement
of outstanding debt and 430,000,000 shares in respect of a share
subscription to private subscribers for which proceeds of
GBP860,000 were received.
Since period end and to the date of this report the Company has
issued an additional 108,540,021 shares at a price per share of
just under 0.2p to service providers, in payment of a facility
implementation fee in respect of drawing down the first tranche of
a loan facility negotiated with an institutional investor (the
"Investor") which was announced in February 2022 and payment in
respect of remaining balance on loan (Sanderson settlement)
announced in May 2022.
The loan facility noted above (the "Facility") provides for an
initial drawdown of GBP1m (the "Initial Advance") which was availed
of on signing of the Facility. Funds advanced under the Facility
attract a fixed coupon interest rate of 3.5% and will be repayable
with accrued interest, 4 months from the date of drawdown (due on
16 June 2022). The investor shall receive warrants equal to 30% of
each drawdown divided by the average of the daily VWAP for each of
the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable
drawdown date ("Reference Price"), with a 36-month term to expiry
from the date of issuance. The warrants are exercisable at a
subscription price being equal to 130% of the then prevailing
Reference Price. If the share price of the Company is above a 100%
premium to the relevant exercise price for 30 consecutive days,
then 50% of the warrants will be cancelled, unless otherwise
previously exercised. With regards to the Initial Advance, the
Investor has received 168,274,625 warrants. In compliance with the
Facility terms for the Initial Advance, the Company has issued
shares in settlement of a facility implementation fee of GBP70k in
the amount of 39,264,079 new ordinary Kibo shares of EUR0.001 each
at a deemed price of 0.17828 pence per share (the "Implementation
Fee Shares").
Kibo settled an outstanding amount of GBP339,437 pursuant to the
Forward Payment Facility signed between Sanderson Capital Partners
Ltd and the Company in December 2016, in cash and shares, during
the year. The share component comprised GBP169,718 (50% of the
total) for which we issued 65,276,346 new shares at a deemed value
of 0.26p per share. The remaining amount outstanding on this loan
of GBP89,788.88 was settled after period end in May 2022 by the
issue of 56,118,047 shares at a deemed value of GBP0.0016
At an EGM held on 22 February 2021 the shareholders of Kibo
approved resolutions to permit the migration of the Company's
dematerialised shares held through CREST to Euroclear Nominees Ltd
(the "Eurobank Migration"). The Eurobank Migration was required to
allow shareholders to continue to hold the Company shares in
dematerialised form following the UK's exit from the EU and this
successfully completed on the 12 March 2021.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Segment analysis
IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive
information about its reportable segments, which are operating
segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specific
criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the Chief Operating decision maker. The Chief
Executive Officer is the Chief Operating decision maker of the
Group.
Management currently identifies individual projects as operating
segments. These operating segments are monitored and strategic
decisions are made based upon their individual nature, together
with other non-financial data collated from exploration activities.
Principal activities for these operating segments are as

MAST Energy Projects Ltd (MEP), a 100% owned and controlled
subsidiary of MAST Energy Developments plc, a subsidiary of the
Group, had certain outstanding and accrued consulting fees owing to
a service provider (St. Anderton on Vaal) relating to the period
2019 to 2021.The settlement value of these fees (the "Consulting
Fees") has now been agreed between MEP, MAST and St. Anderton on
Vaal. The settlement comprised cash payments for a total amount of
GBP169,603, shares issued in the amount of GBP169,603 by MAST
Energy Developments plc and the remainder of the debt being
forgiven.
On 30 September 2021, the Group lost the ability to exercise
control over the operations of Katoro Gold plc and its subsidiaries
(hereinafter referred to as the "Katoro Group") following from the

The effective tax rate used for the December 2021 and December
2020 reconciliations above is the corporate rate of 18.86% and
14.9% payable by corporate entities on taxable profits under tax
law in that jurisdiction respectively.
No provision has been made for the 2021 deferred taxation as no
taxable income has been received to date, and the probability of
future taxable income is indicative of current market conditions
which remain uncertain . At the Statement of Financial Position
date, the Directors estimate that the Group has unused tax losses
of GBP38,201,734 (2020: GBP35,320,553) available for potential
offset against future profits which equates to an estimated
potential deferred tax asset of GBP5,076,208 (2020: GBP4,569,667).
No deferred tax asset has been recognised due to the
unpredictability of the future profit streams. Losses may be
carried forward indefinitely in accordance with the applicable
taxation regulations ruling within each of the above
jurisdictions.

Pyebridge Power Ltd - 2021
The Group acquired a 100% equity interest in Pyebridge Power
Limited ("Pyebridge") for GBP2,500,000 in cash which is settled as
follows:
-- An initial GBP1,485,500 to be paid in cash at completion date on the 10th of August 2021;
-- Repayment of the loan outstanding of GBP14,500 by Sloane Developments Limited to Pyebridge;
Deferred consideration of GBP1,000,000 to be paid in two
tranches 8 months and 12 months respectively from the date of
completion.
The acquisition of PyeBridge comprise of the following:
-- An installed and commissioned synchronous gas-powered standby
generation plant and machinery; and
-- The land on which the gas-powered facility stands.
The acquisition of land and gas-powered generation facility has
been accounted for as assets purchased at consolidated level, and
not as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3. Therefore,
the purchase price has been allocated between land and the plant
and machinery based on their respective fair values as at the date
of acquisition.
Right of use asset
The Group has one lease contract for land it shall utilise to
construction a 5MW gas-fuelled power generation plant. The land is
located at Bordersley, Liverpool St. Birmingham.
The lease of the land has a lease term of 20 years, with an
option to extend for 10 years which the Group has opted to include
due to the highly likely nature of extension as at the time of the
original assessment.
The Group's obligations under its leases are secured by the
lessor's title to the leased assets. The Group's incremental
borrowing rate is 8.44%.

--------- ---------- --------------- ------------- -------------
Intangible assets attributable to prospecting or exploration
activities with an indefinite useful life are not amortised until
such time that active mining operations commence, which will result
in the intangible asset being amortised over the useful life of the
relevant project.
Intangible assets attributable to renewable energy activities
are amortised once commercial production commenced, over the
remaining useful life of the project, which is estimated to be
between 20 to 30 years, depending on the unique characteristics of
each project.
Until such time as the underlying operations commence production
commences, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are
assessed for impairment on an annual basis, against the recoverable
value of the intangible asset, or earlier if an indication of
impairment exists.
One or more of the following facts or circumstances indicate
that an entity should test an intangible asset for impairment:
-- the period for which the entity has the right to develop the
asset has expired during the period or will expire in the
foreseeable future;
-- substantial expenditure on the asset in future is neither planned nor budgeted;
-- sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a
development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying
amount of the development asset is unlikely to be recovered in full
from successful development or by sale.
In assessing whether a write-down is required in the carrying
value of a potentially impaired intangible asset, the asset's
carrying value is compared with its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value
less costs to sell and value in use.
The valuation techniques applicable to the valuation of the
abovementioned intangible assets comprise a combination of fair
market values, discounted cash flow projections and historic
transaction prices.
The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the
intangible assets' recoverable amounts, through utilising the value
in use calculation performed:
-- measurement of the available resources and reserves;
-- currency fluctuations and exchange movements applicable to the valuation model;
-- commodity prices related to resources and reserve and forward looking statements;
-- expected growth rates in respect of production capacity;
-- cost of capital related to funding requirements;
-- determination of the commercial viability period;
-- applicable discounts rates, inflation and taxation implications;
-- future operating expenditure related to the realisation of the respective project assets; and
-- co-operation of key project partners going forward.
The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the
intangible assets' recoverable amounts, through utilising the fair
value calculation performed:
-- Determination of consideration receivable based on recently
completed transactions, considering the nature, location, size and
desirability of recently completed transactions, for similar
assets.
A summary of each project and the impairment assessment
performed for each of the intangible assets are detailed below.
Mbeya Coal to Power Project
The Mbeya Coal to Power Project situated in the Mbeya region of
Tanzania, which comprises the Mbeya Coal Mine, a potential 1.5Mt
p/a mining operation, and the Mbeya Power Plant, a planned 300MW
mine-mouth thermal power station. The Mbeya Coal Mine has a defined
120.8 Mt NI 43-101 thermal coal resource. The 300MW mouth-of-mine
thermal power station has long term scalability with the potential
to become a 1000MW plant. The completed full Power Feasibility
Study highlighted an annual power output target of 1.8GW based on
annual average coal consumption of 1.5Mt.
Subsequent to the completion of a compulsory tender process
through TANESCO on the development of the Mbeya Coal to Power
Project, the Group was informed that its bid to secure a
Power-Purchase Agreement was unsuccessful in February 2019. Further
engagement with TANESCO has subsequently culminated in the receipt
of a formal notice from TANESCO during 2020 inviting the Group it
to develop the Mbeya Coal to Power Project for the export market
and thereby enabling the Company to engage with the African Power
Pools regarding potential off-take agreements.
Result of impairment review undertaken during the period
The Group continued to pursue the possible development of the
Mbeya Coal to Power Project for the export market during 2021,
however the increase in global scepticism around the development of
fossil fuel projects coupled with expansion toward renewable energy
resulted in the phasing out of coal assets across global markets in
lieu of renewable energy assets.
These factors culminated in the Group performing an impairment
assessment as the carrying amount of the Mbeya Coal to Power
Project asset is unlikely to be recovered in full of successful
development or by sale .
Following various consultations with third parties, the Group
concluded that the fair value of its Mbeya Coal to Power Project
asset was estimated to be approxima tely GBP1,940,577, which is
significantly lower than the value in use determined in preceding
financial periods as a results of the declining demand for fossil
fuel projects and the Group's move toward renewable energies, as
executed toward the latter part of the 2021 financial period
It was therefore concluded that an impairment of GBP 13,955,528
was necessary in the 2021 financial period related specifically to
the Mbeya Coal to Power Project.
The fair value consideration receivable was based on third party
proposals received related to the combined potential disposal of
the Group's Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabasekwa Coal to Power
projects. The proposed consideration receivable was allocated
between the assets based on their respective carrying values,
including capital contributions to the various assets at an
estimated discount of between 60% and 80%.
A change of 100bps in the estimated discount applied to the
capital contributions of the Mbeya Coal to Power asset would result
in a GBP15,500 change in the fair value of the asset.
The Group is actively pursuing various options to realise value
from the project, including the potential disposal of the asset to
extern parties.
Bordersley Power Ltd
The Group initially acquired an indirect 100% equity interest in
shovel-ready reserve power generation project, Bordersley, which
will comprise a 5MW gas-fuelled power generation plant for the
consideration of GBP175,000 settled through the issue of
shares.
Thereafter, the Group acquired all of St Anderton's direct and
indirect interests (Royalty Agreements) in the Bordersley power
project described above giving it a 100% economic and 100% equity
interest in Bordersley (the 'Acquisition'). Consideration for the
Acquisition consists of the allotment and issue of 46,067,206
ordinary shares in the capital of MAST Developments plc to St
Anderton at an issue price of GBP0.0525 per share and payable in
five tranches ('Consideration Shares') such that the full
consideration is only payable in the event that Bordersley is
progressively derisked.
As there were no separately identifiable assets and/or
liabilities acquired, the purchase price was allocated toward the
Intellectual Property acquired, in the amount of GBP2,595,000.
Rochdale Power Ltd - 2021
The Group acquired a 100% interest in Rochdale Power Limited
("Rochdale"), from Balance Power Projects Limited, for the
installation of a 4.4 MW flexible gas power project in Dig Gate
Lane, Rochdale, OL 16 4NR.The acquisition purchase price totals
GBP239,523 of which the freehold site amounts to GBP90,750
excluding VAT and the property rights amount to GBP150,273. The
acquisition purchase price is to be paid in cash. The freehold site
purchased is the property at Dig Gate Lane, Kingsway Business Park,
Rochdale, OL16 4NR.
The acquisition of land and gas-powered generation facility will
be accounted for as assets purchased at consolidated level, and not
as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3. Therefore, the
purchase price has been allocated to the property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets, as disclosed in Note 9 and Note 10
respectively.
Sustineri Energy - 2021
The Group, through its subsidiary Kibo Energy (Cyprus) Limited
(KE), entered into an agreement with Industrial Green Energy
Solutions (Pty) Ltd (IGES) whereby KE would acquire 65% equity
stake in Sustineri Energy (Pty) Ltd (Sustineri), with IGES, the
technology (IP) and process owner, acquiring a 35% stake. IGES
would contribute IP in the amount of approximately GBP278,000
through an equity loan to Sustineri Energy (Pty) Ltd as
contribution to the incorporation of the entity, and KE would
thereafter contribute resources in the amount of GBP532,000 as part
of its contribution. Thereafter Sustineri would source debt and
equity to develop its underlying projects.
IGES, on behalf of Sustineri Energy (Pty) Ltd, completed and
filed the necessary environmental approvals and was awarded a waste
management license by the DEFF on 4 March 2021 for the waste fired
combined heat and power plant to be installed at the Limeroc
Business Park in Centurion, South Africa.

Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project
On 3 April 2018, the Group completed the acquisition of an 85%
interest in the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power
Project, located in Botswana. The intangible asset was
recognised at the fair value of the consideration paid, which
emanates from the fair value of the equity instruments issued as at
transaction date, being GBP 9,376,312.
The Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project ("MCIPP") is
located approximately 40km east of the village of Tonata and
approximately 50km southeast of Francistown, Botswana's second
largest city. Certain aspects of the Project have been advanced
previously by Sechaba Natural Resources Limited ("Sechaba"),
including water and land use permits and environmental
certification. Mabesekwa consists of a insitu 777Mt Coal Resource.
A pre-feasibility study on a coal mine and a scoping study on a
coal fired thermal power plant has been completed. Kibo is in
possession of a Competent Persons Report on the project, which
includes a SAMREC-compliant Maiden Resource Statement on the
excised 300 Mt portion of the Mabesekwa coal deposit.
In September 2019, Kibo and Shumba Energy Limited ("Shumba")
signed a binding Heads of Agreement to reorganise the arrangements
for the MCIPP and its associated coal asset in Botswana. Under the
reorganisation the MCIPP retained assets will be consolidated back
into KEB and Kibo's interest in KEB will be reduced to 35% to
maintain Kibo's look-through interest in the MCIPP resource and
make sundry adjustments to recognise Kibo's project expenditure. In
exchange for the increase in the equity interest held by Shumba,
Shumba would forego the previous claim it had against a portion of
the MCIPP coal resources, thereby increasing the value of the
interest held by KEB.
The value of the remaining equity interest in Kibo Energy
Botswana (Pty) Ltd on initial recognition, was determined based on
the fair value of the proportionate equity interest retained in the
in the enlarged resource following the restructuring during
2019.
Result of impairment review undertaken during the period
The Group continued to pursue the possible development of its
Mabaseka Coal to Power Project during 2021, however the increase in
global scepticism around the development of fossil fuel projects
coupled with expansion toward renewable energy resulted in the
phasing out of coal assets across global markets in lieu of
renewable energy assets.
These factors culminated in the Group performing an impairment
assessment as the carrying amount of the Mabaseka Coal to Power
Project asset is unlikely to be recovered in full of successful
development or by sale .
Following various consultations with third parties, the Group
concluded that the fair value of its Mabaseka Coal to Power Project
asset was estimated to be approxima tely GBP3,563,639, which is
significantly lower than the value in use determined in preceding
financial periods as a results of the declining demand for fossil
fuel projects and the Group's move toward renewable energies, as
executed toward the latter part of the 2021 financial period
It was therefore concluded that an impairment of GBP6,132,712
was necessary in the 2021 financial period related specifically to
the Mabaseka Coal to Power Project.
The fair value consideration receivable was based on third party
proposals received related to the combined potential disposal of
the Group's Mbeya Coal to Power and Mabasekwa Coal to Power
projects. The proposed consideration receivable was allocated
between the assets based on their respective carrying values,
including capital contributions to the various assets at an
estimated discount of between 60% and 80%.
A change of 100bps in the estimated discount applied to the
capital contributions of the Mbeya Coal to Power asset would result
in a GBP18,500 change in the fair value of the asset.
The Group is actively pursuing various options to realise value
from the project, including the potential disposal of the asset to
extern parties.

Reef Miners Limited - Imweru and Lubando gold project - 2020
On 30 June 2020, the last condition precedent related to the
disposal of Reef Miners Limited ("Reef"), comprising the Imweru
gold project and the Lubando gold project in northern Tanzania, was
met, resulting in the effective disposal of the subsidiary to Lake
Victoria Gold Limited ("LVG"). The assets and corresponding
liabilities of Reef was recognised as part of the assets classified
held for sale in the comparative financial period.
The following disposal of the subsidiary was recognised in the
2020 financial statements:

The amount receivable from Lake Victoria Gold will be due and
payable on the following dates:
-- US$100,000 upon the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent;
-- US$100,000 upon registration of Reef in the name of LVG;
-- US$100,000 four months from the date of the SPA;
-- US$200,000 nine months from the date of the SPA; and
-- US$500,000 upon the earlier of the commissioning of the first
producing mine of LVG in the Tanzania or the date 24 months from
the date of the SPA.
As at 31 December 2020, funds of $100,000 have been received
from Lake Victoria Gold in respect of the sale of Reef Miners
Limited ("Reef"). The receivable in Lake Victoria Gold was fully
impaired due to the significant increase in credit risk during the
2020 financial period, which is as a result of further payments not
being received as they become due and was still outstanding as at
30 September 2021, the date on which the Kibo Group lost control
over Katoro Gold plc as noted above in Note 11.
Blyvoor Joint Operations
On 30 January 2020, the Katoro Gold Group entered into a Joint
Venture Agreement with Blyvoor Gold Mines (Pty) Ltd, whereby Katoro
Gold plc and Blyvoor Gold Mines (Pty) Ltd would become 50/50
participants in a unincorporated Joint Venture.
In accordance with the requirements of the Joint Venture
Agreement, the Katoro Group was to provide a ZAR15.0 million loan
(approximately GBP790,000) to the JV ('the Katoro Loan Facility'),
which will fund ongoing development work on the Project.
As at 30 September 2021, the date on which the Kibo Group
effectively lost control over the Katoro Group, the Katoro Group
had advanced funding in the amount of GBP 1,223,495 of which 100%
relate to expenditure allocated to the Joint Venture operations,
carried by the Katoro Gold plc Group.
13. Goodwill
MAST Energy Projects Limited - 2020
In the previous financial period, the Group acquired a 60%
equity interest in MAST Energy Project Limited, previously known as
MAST Energy Development Limited, for GBP300,000, settled through
the issue of 5,714,286 ordinary shares in Kibo Energy plc effective
on 19 October 2018. The acquisition of MAST Energy Projects Limited
falls within the ambit of IFRS 3: Business Combinations.
The net assets acquired were valued at Nil, with the resultant
purchase price being allocated to Goodwill on date of acquisition.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, against the
recoverable amount of underlying Cash Generating Unit ("CGU"). The
recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of its fair value less
cost to sell and its value in use.
Because the underlying projects previously held by Mast Energy
Projects Limited have now been restructured into separate SPV's,
controlled directly by the intermediary holding company Sloane
Developments Limited, there was no prospective benefit from
continued operations of Mast Energy Projects Limited therefore the
goodwill was impaired. The Company will cease operations in the
foreseeable future.

17. Control reserve
The transaction with Opera Investments plc in 2017 represented a
disposal without loss of control. Under IFRS this constitutes a
transaction with equity holders and as such is recognised through
equity as opposed to recognising goodwill. The control reserve
represents the difference between the purchase consideration and
the book value of the net assets and liabilities acquired in the
transaction with Opera Investments. The control reserve balance as
at the year end is Nil, following the loss of control over of
Katoro Gold plc effective from 30 September 2021.

Deferred vendor liability
The amount due to vendors represents the balance of the purchase
consideration owing in respect of the acquisition of Bordersley
Power Limited from St' Anderton on Vaal Limited. The liability will
be settled through the issue of ordinary shares in the Company, in
four equal tranches of 6,000,000 at an issue price of GBP0.0525
each, as the project is progressively de-risked, as detailed
below:
-- Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that
a preliminary notice to proceed with construction of the Bordersley
power site has been issued by the Owners Engineer for the
construction and commissioning of the Bordersley site;
-- Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that
a final notice to proceed with construction of the Bordersley power
site has been issued by the Owners Engineer for the construction
and commissioning of the Bordersley site;
-- Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that
the Owners Engineer for the construction and commissioning of the
Bordersley site has commenced with commissioning of the Bordersley
power plant; and
-- Upon receiving confirmation from Mast Energy Development that
the Owners Engineer for the construction and commissioning of the
Bordersley site has confirmed steady state production at the
Bordersley power plant.
The fair value of the deferred vendor liability is calculated in
accordance with the anticipated purchase consideration payable, at
the fair value of the shares on the date of the transaction.
The amount payable has been settled during the current year
through the issue of ordinary shares.

undertakings and trade receivables from Group undertakings were
capitalised to the cost of the underlying investments. The

Foreign currency risk
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign
currencies and exposures to exchange rate fluctuations therefore
may arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed by continuously
reviewing exchange rate movements in the relevant foreign
currencies. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations for the
Group/Company is limited to foreign currency translation of
subsidiaries, which is not material, as the Group/Company does not
hold any significant foreign denominated monetary assets or
liabilities.
At the period ended 31 December 2021, the Group had no
outstanding forward exchange contracts.
Exchange rates used for conversion of foreign subsidiaries
undertakings were:
2021 2020
ZAR to GBP (Spot) 0.0465 0.0499
ZAR to GBP (Average) 0.0492 0.0469
USD to GBP (Spot) 0.7412 0.7325
USD to GBP (Average) 0.7281 0.7798
EURO to GBP (Spot) 0.8394 0.8984
EURO to GBP (Average) 0.8595 0.8894
The executive management of the Group monitor the Group's
exposure to the concentration of fair value estimation risk on a
monthly basis.
Group Sensitivity Analysis
As the Group/Company has no material monetary assets denominated
in foreign currencies, the impact associated with a change in the
foreign exchange rates is not expected to be material to the
Group/Company.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Group. As the Group does not, as yet, have any significant sales to
third parties, this risk is limited.
The Group and Company's financial assets comprise receivables
and cash and cash equivalents. The credit risk on cash and cash
equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with
high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating
agencies. The Group and Company's exposure to credit risk arise
from default of its counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to
the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents in its
consolidated statement of financial position. Expected credit
losses were not measured on a collective basis. The various
financial assets owed from group undertakings were evaluated
against the underlying asset value of the investee, taking into
account the value of the various projects undertaken during the
period, thus validating, as required the credit loss recognised in
relation to amounts owed by group undertakings.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to
any single counterparty or any Group of counterparties having
similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having
similar characteristics if they are connected or related
entities.
Financial assets exposed to credit risk at period end were as
follows:
Financial instruments Group (GBP) Company (GBP)
2021 2020 2021 2020
Trade & other receivables 255,747 115,886 73,734 39,085
Cash 2,082,906 256,760 239,674 141,788
Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with
the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity
risk management framework for the management of the Group and
Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity
management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by
maintaining adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles
of financial assets and liabilities. Cash forecasts are regularly
produced to identify the liquidity requirements of the Group.
The Group and Company's financial liabilities as at 31 December
2021 were all payable on demand.

Interest rate risk
The Group and Company's exposure to the risk of changes in
market interest rates relates primarily to the Group and Company's
holdings of cash and short-term deposits.
It is the Group and Company's policy as part of its management
of the budgetary process to place surplus funds on short term
deposit in order to maximise interest earned.
Group Sensitivity Analysis:
Currently no significant impact exists due to possible interest
rate changes on the Company's interest bearing instruments.
Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the
Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising
the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and
equity balance.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to
it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or
adjust its capital structure, the Group may adjust or issue new
shares or raise debt. No changes were made in the objectives,
policies or processes during the period ended 31 December 2021.
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity
attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued
capital, reserves and retained losses as disclosed in the
consolidated statement of changes in equity.
Fair values
The carrying amount of the Group and Company's financial assets
and financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost in the
financial statements approximate their fair value.
Hedging
As at31 December 2021, the Group had no outstanding contracts
designated as hedges.
