2022 Full Year Accounts
Cindrigo Holdings Limited (LSE: CINH) is pleased to announce that its audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 have been approved and extracts are attached to this announcement and available in full on the Company's website at www.cindrigo.com .
The Company apologises for the delay in publishing these accounts which arose as a result of a misunderstanding regarding whether or not the Company was a Public Interest Entity. This misunderstanding has been resolved with the assistance of the Financial Reporting Council in the UK and the Regulator in Guernsey where the Company is incorporated.
GBP1 million Convertible Loan
Cindrigo is also pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with its largest shareholder, Danir AB ("Danir"), to invest a further GBP1,000,000 in the Company to provide additional working capital for the continuing development of its geothermal power plant in Northern Croatia.
The investment is by way of a four-year Convertible Loan Note ("CLN") and attracts a fee equating to annual compound interest at a rate of 12 per cent per annum. The fee will be paid on completion of the loan. The Company has created and issued to Danir GBP1,573,519 interest free unsecured CLNs. The CLN is convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at a fixed price of GBP0.70 per share.
The CLN should enable the Company to provide a clear working capital statement in the Prospectus that it is preparing to support its application to relist its enlarged share capital of the Company on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
A further announcement on the relisting will be made in due course.

CEO's Statement
For Cindrigo Holdings Group (formerly Challenger Acquisitions Limited the "Company ") the year 2022 was a year of material change
Initially formed in November 2014 to undertake one or more acquisitions in the entertainment and leisure sectors with a particular focus on the attractions sector. With none of the proposed projects coming to fruition the company looked for alternative activity.
The Company had been looking for suitable projects and believed the energy sector, in particular renewable energy, was an attractive sector in which to focus its development. In 2021 it completed the acquisition of Cindrigo Energy Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary Cindrigo Limited. The companies acquired were part of a group of companies (the "Group") pursuing renewable energy projects, initially in the Ukraine, built on cooperation with China Energy a world leader in energy development in combination with a broad Swedish expertise and experience in the waste to energy and biomass energy sector.
Strategic and Operational Review
Due to the situation in Ukraine, the Group suspended its projects in Ukraine in February 2022. In anticipation of the development of the troubles in Ukraine the Company has since the middle of 2022 concentrated its efforts in the geothermal sector. The Group acquired an option in November 2021 to acquire the entire issued share capital of Energy Co-invest Global Corp. ("ECG"), a renewable energy developer based in Canada with geothermal opportunities and assets primarily in Iceland and Croatia. This option was exercised in March 2022 with ECG being a platform for the Group's geothermal business and the continued development and pursuit of geothermal opportunities, primarily in Central Europe ECG also held 48% of the issued share capital of GEG a geothermal specialist based in Iceland with potential project in Chile and Kenya.
In June 2022 the Group via its wholly owned subsidiary Cindrigo Geothermal Limited acquired 90% of the issued share capital of EES Dravacel Energetika d.o.o.('Dravacel'), a Croatian incorporated company, which held and continues to hold a geothermal exploration licence in respect of 57.9 km2 in Slatina, northern Croatia ('CCP Slatina' or the 'Project'), believed to be suitable for geothermal development (the 'Acquisition'). Dravacel has the permits necessary to implement a well-defined drilling programme to access the geothermal heat resources.
The Group's Board of Directors reflects the industry expertise necessary to pursue this opportunity.
Acquisition of Cindrigo Energy Limited
On 30 July 2021 , the Group acquired Cindrigo Limited and Cindrigo Energy Limited, which were part of a group of companies pursuing renewable energy projects in the Ukraine.
The acquisition constituted a reverse takeover for the Company .
The entire issued share capital of Cindrigo Limited has been distributed to the Company by Cindrigo Energy and following such distribution Cindrigo Energy Limited has been dissolved.
Cindrigo Holdings Limited (as the Company has been renamed) is in the process of preparing an application to the FCA for its enlarged ordinary share capital to be readmitted to the standard segment of the Official List of the London Stock Exchange and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
Board of director changes
There have been no changes in the Board of Directors during the financial year ended 31 December 2022.
Investments
The Group holds two investments from previous ventures on the statement of financial position which are fully impaired.
Dallas, Texas investment
In January 2019, the Group agreed to sell its US$300,000 investment in the Odyssey of Texas back to the original developers in tranches over the course of 2019. To date, the Group has received US$275,000 of the principal sum and US$7,625 of the interest. The remaining balance of US$25,000 is still outstanding and being pursued by the Group, however given the uncertainty of the recoverability of this balance in has been impaired in full.
New York Wheel equity units
The Group retains an equity unit in this project. Since the value of these units relates directly to the stalled project on Staten Island, there is no carrying value on the balance sheet for this investment. The Group has transferred one of the equity units to a loan note holder as part of a settlement on existing loan notes.
Cindrigo Limited Investment
To complete the acquisition of Cindrigo Energy Limited and Cindrigo Limited the Group issued 140,449,800 new ordinary shares and convertible loan notes with a principal value of GBP612,259.41 convertible into up to 6,122,594 new ordinary shares at GBP0.10 per share as consideration for the acquisition.
In accordance with IFRS the transaction is recorded as an investment in the accounts of the Group which eliminates on consolidation.
Cindrigo Energy Limited held a 100% investment in Cindrigo Limited which in turn held a 99% investment in Kyiv Power BTS LLC a company incorporated in Ukraine. This company would have acted as the holding company for the operations to build and operate waste to energy plants in contracts with the Ukrainian government. Given the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in February 2022 all operations in Ukraine were suspended indefinitely and accordingly there is uncertainty about whether the investment is recoverable. Accordingly in the company only accounts of Cindrigo Holdings Limited the investment has been fully impaired. This impairment does not impact the net assets of the group as the investment is eliminated in the consolidation for the Cindrigo Group financial statements.
Other important events post reporting period, is that the Company has signed Framework agreement with Petroline a company based in the Abu Dhabi UAE regarding project funding (contingent on Due Diligence) and Kaishan, a Singapore based company for full turn key EPC contract, to be finalized in specific contract for Croatia 1 (Slatina 3). The Group's largest shareholder have also provided additional GBP1million of working capital, the funds were received in April 2023.
Current priority is to raise and finalise Project development funds for the Dravacel /Croatia 1 project, to move the project forward, while also evaluate additional licenses primarily in Europe, to strengthen the portfolio.
On behalf of the new Cindrigo Holdings Board, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders and note holders for their patience and support during another challenging year.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. General information
The Group was incorporated under section II of the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008 on 24 November 2014, it is limited by shares and has registration number 59383.
The Group had an investment of US$3m in New York Wheel Investor LLC, a Group that was set up to fund the equity component for the project to build a New York Wheel which includes an approximate 630 foot high observation wheel with 36 capsules, a 68,000 square foot terminal and retail building, and a 950 space parking garage. This investment was fully impaired as a result of the termination of the project and litigation between New York Wheel Investor LLC and one of the primary contractors. One share with a nominal value of US$1m was given to the former Starneth owners to pay the debt resulting from the second tranche of the purchase contract. The Group entered into an investment into the Dallas Wheel project. The investment was sold in 2019 for consideration of US$300k of which US$275k was received however no further sums have been received since. Given the uncertainty as to whether the project will ultimately proceed t he fair value of the Dallas wheel investment was fully impaired as at year end.
On the 30 July 2021 , the Group completed its reverse takeover of Cindrigo Limited and Cindrigo Energy Limited, which are part of a group of companies that were pursuing renewable energy projects in the Ukraine and Central Europe.
The Group entered into an agreement with Cindrigo Energy Limited in respect of a achieving the acquisition of Cindrigo Energy Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary Cindrigo Limited. The Acquisition proceeded pursuant to a new Plan of Arrangement under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Under the arrangement the Group acquired each share in the issued share capital of Cindrigo Energy Limited in exchange for 0.875 new shares issued by the Group. As a result of the exchange the former shareholders of Cindrigo Energy Limited acquired 96.5% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Group on a fully diluted basis if all consideration loan notes had been converted.
The Acquisition constituted a reverse takeover for the Company.
The Group is making an application for its enlarged ordinary share capital to be readmitted to the standard segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
The Group's registered office is located at PO Box 186, Royal Chambers, St Julian's Avenue, St. Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 4HP, Channel Islands.

Going concern
At 31 December 2022 the Group had net liabilities of (GBP779k). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Directors take into account all available information for the foreseeable future, in particular for the twelve months from the date of approval of the financial information.
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future
In April 2023 the company secured a further GBP1,000k in financing from a major shareholder in the group and the funds have been received at the date of the issue of the financial statements.
Additionally, the Group has warrant options with existing convertible loan note holders worth up to GBP6,000k when the Group completes its listing. The Group also has the option to reduce staff costs which are principally fees and consulting costs payable to the directors to preserve working capital.
The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts until the year ended December 2024 and consider that the company has sufficient working capital.
The Directors' objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. At the date of this financial information, the Group had been financed from equity and convertible notes. In the future, the capital structure of the Group is expected to consist of convertible notes and equity attributable to equity holders of the Group, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
New standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 January 2022
There were no new standards or interpretations effective for the first time for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 that had a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective.
The directors do not expect that any of these standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Segment Reporting
For the purpose of IFRS 8, the Chief Operating Decision Maker "CODM" takes the form of the board of directors. The Directors are of the opinion that the business of the Group comprised a single activity, being the identification and acquisition of target companies or businesses in the energy sector.
Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in British Pounds (GBP), which is Cindrigo Holdings functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss, within finance income or finance costs.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Fair value of assets
Assets are tested for fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A reduction in fair value is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing fair value, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered a significant reduction in fair value are reviewed for possible reversal of the significant reduction in fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
Investments and other financial assets
Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
The Group's investments in corporate debt securities which are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling securities are classified as held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Investments in equity securities have been classified as measured at FVTPL.
Interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is included in the net gains/(losses). Interest on financial assets held at amortised cost, calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of decline in fair value at the end of the reporting period. The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.
For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Income recognition
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of income tax effects.
Employee benefits
Short term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Share based payments
Employee options
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
-- including any market performance conditions (eg the entity's share price)
-- excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (eg profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and
-- including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (eg the requirement for employees to save or holdings shares for a specific period of time).
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
Social security contributions payable in connection with an option grant are considered an integral part of the grant itself and the charges are treated as cash-settled transactions.
The options are administered by Cindrigo Holdings Limited. When the options are exercised, Cindrigo Holdings Limited transfers the appropriate amount of shares to the employee. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited directly to equity.
Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity under share capital as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-- the profit attributable to owners of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares
-- by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
-- the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
3. Critical estimates, judgements and errors
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, this note also explains where there have been actual adjustments this year as a result of an error and of changes to previous estimates.
Significant estimates and judgements
The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are:
-- Going concern
See accounting policies (note 2) for details of the assessment made.
-- Fair value of the Investments
The Group issued GBP14,044k of ordinary shares and convertible loan notes with a principal value of GBP612k convertible into up to 6,122,594 new ordinary shares at GBP0.10 per shares to acquire the Cindrigo Energy Limited. Given the operations of Cindrigo Energy Limited in Ukraine have been suspended indefinitely the investment has been impaired in the company only accounts. The investment eliminated on consolidation so there is no impact on the Group's financial statements.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
This note explains the Group's exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the Group's future financial performance. Current year profit and loss information has been included where relevant to add further context.

Foreign exchange risk
The Group is especially focused on the currency pairs USD/GBP. The Group's only active investment is denominated in GBP.
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the current period, expressed in GBP'000 was as follows:
Currency Assets Assets 10% change Liabilities Liabilities 10% change

USD 284 210 21 (362) (254) (26)
EUR 1 - - - - -

During the year, GBP13k foreign-exchange related gains were recognised in profit or loss.
As described above the Group is primarily exposed to changes in the USD/GBP exchange rate. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates as summarized in the above table arises mainly from the Group's SEK denominated liability.
Interest rate risk
The Group's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IFRS 7, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables. To limit the risk the Group's main cash resources are held with banks with a minimum external rating of A.
Liquidity Risk
The Group currently holds cash balances to provide funding for normal trading activity. Trade and other payables are monitored as part of normal management routine.
As at 31 December 2022 all financial assets were classified at fair value. A maturity analysis of the Group's financial assets is as follows:

17. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation for earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the relevant period is based on the profit / loss after income tax attributable to equity holder for the period ending 31 December 2021 and is as follows:
31 December 2022
Loss from continued operations attributable
to equity holders (GBP) (2,467,000)
------------
Weighted average number of shares of GBP2.667609
each 142,202,476
------------
Loss per share basic (GBP) (0.017)
------------
Weighted average number of shares for dilutive
calculation 142,202,476
Loss per share diluted (GBP) (0.017)
------------
31 December 2021
Loss from continued operations attributable
to equity holders (GBP) (2,016,000)
------------

------------
Loss per share basic (GBP) (0.014)
------------
Weighted average number of shares for dilutive
calculation 142,202,476
Loss per share diluted (GBP) (0.014)
------------
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss after tax attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares namely the conversion of the convertible loan note in issue. The effect of these potential dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in the above calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Notes to the parent company (Cindrigo Holdings Limited) financial statements
1. General information
The Company was incorporated under section II of the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008 on 24 November 2014, it is limited by shares and has registration number 59383.
The Company had an investment of US$3m in New York Wheel Investor LLC, a company that was set up to fund the equity component for the project to build a New York Wheel which includes an approximate 630 foot high observation wheel with 36 capsules, a 68,000 square foot terminal and retail building, and a 950 space parking garage. This investment was fully impaired as a result of the termination of the project and litigation between New York Wheel Investor LLC and one of the primary contractors. One share with a nominal value of US$1m was given to the former Starneth owners to pay the debt resulting from the second tranche of the purchase contract. The Company entered into an investment into the Dallas Wheel project. The investment was sold in 2019 for consideration of US$300k of which US$275k was received however no further sums have been received since. Given the uncertainty as to whether the project will ultimately proceed t he fair value of the Dallas wheel investment was fully impaired as at year end.
On the 30 July 2021 , the Company completed its reverse takeover of Cindrigo Limited and Cindrigo Energy Limited, which are part of a group of companies that were pursuing renewable energy projects in the Ukraine and Central Europe.
The Company entered into an agreement with Cindrigo Energy Limited in respect of a achieving the acquisition of Cindrigo Energy Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary Cindrigo Limited. The Acquisition proceeded pursuant to a new Plan of Arrangement under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Under the arrangement the Company acquired each share in the issued share capital of Cindrigo Energy Limited in exchange for 0.875 new shares issued by the Company. As a result of the exchange the former shareholders of Cindrigo Energy Limited acquired 96.5% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis if all consideration loan notes had been converted.
The Acquisition constituted a reverse takeover for the Company.
The Company is proposing to make application for its enlarged ordinary share capital to be readmitted to the standard segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
The Company's registered office is located at PO Box 186, Royal Chambers, St Julian's Avenue, St. Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 4HP, Channel Islands.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements of Cindrigo Holdings Limited (formerly Challenger Acquisitions Limited) for the year ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (IFRS's as adopted by the EU), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable to the companies reporting under IFRS.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
The financial information has been presented in British Pound (GBP), being the functional currency of the Company.
Going concern
At 31 December 2022 the Company had net assets GBP786k. The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Directors take into account all available information for the foreseeable future, in particular for the twelve months from the date of approval of the financial information.
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future
In April 2023 the company secured a further GBP1,000k in financing from a major shareholder in the group and the funds have been received at the date of the issue of the financial statements.
Additionally the Group has warrant options with existing convertible loan note holders worth up to GBP4,000k when the Group completes its listing. The Group also has the option to reduce staff costs which are principally fees and consulting costs payable to the directors to preserve working capital.
The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts until the year ended December 2024 and consider that the company has sufficient working capital.
The Directors' objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. At the date of this financial information, the Company had been financed from equity and convertible notes. In the future, the capital structure of the Company is expected to consist of convertible notes and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
New standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 January 2022
There were no new standards or interpretations effective for the first time for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 that had a significant effect on the Company's financial statements.
Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective.
The directors do not expect that any of these standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Segment Reporting
For the purpose of IFRS 8, the Chief Operating Decision Maker "CODM" takes the form of the board of directors. The Directors are of the opinion that the business of the Company comprised a single activity, being the identification and acquisition of target companies or businesses in the energy sector.
Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in British Pounds (GBP), which is Cindrigo Holdings functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss, within finance income or finance costs.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Fair value of assets
Assets are tested for fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A reduction in fair value is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing fair value, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered a significant reduction in fair value are reviewed for possible reversal of the significant reduction in fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
Investments and other financial assets
Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
The Company's investments in corporate debt securities which are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling securities are classified as held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Investments in equity securities have been classified as measured at FVTPL.
Interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is included in the net gains/(losses). Interest on financial assets held at amortised cost, calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of decline in fair value at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.
For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Income recognition
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of income tax effects.
Employee benefits
Short term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Share based payments
Employee options
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
-- including any market performance conditions (eg the entity's share price)
-- excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (eg profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and
-- Including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (eg the requirement for employees to save or holdings shares for a specific period of time).
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
Social security contributions payable in connection with an option grant are considered an integral part of the grant itself and the charges are treated as cash-settled transactions.
The options are administered by Cindrigo Holdings Limited. When the options are exercised, Cindrigo Holdings Limited transfers the appropriate amount of shares to the employee. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited directly to equity.
Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity under share capital as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-- the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares
-- by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
-- the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
3. Critical estimates, judgements and errors
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements. In addition, this note also explains where there have been actual adjustments this year as a result of an error and of changes to previous estimates.
Significant estimates and judgements
The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are:
-- Going concern
See accounting policies (note 2) for details of the assessment made.
-- Fair value of the Investments
-- The Group issued GBP14,044k of ordinary shares and convertible loan notes with a principal value of GBP612k convertible into up to 6,122,594 new ordinary shares at GBP0.10 per shares to acquire the Cindrigo Energy Limited. Given the operations of Cindrigo Energy Limited in Ukraine have been suspended indefinitely the investment has been impaired in the company only accounts. The investment eliminated on consolidation so there is no impact on the Group's financial statements.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
This note explains the Company's exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the Company's future financial performance. Current year profit and loss information has been included where relevant to add further context.

Foreign exchange risk
The Company is especially focused on the currency pairs USD/GBP. The Company's only active investment is denominated in GBP.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in GBP'000 was as follows:
Currency Assets Assets 10% change Liabilities Liabilities 10% change

-------- -------- ----------- ------------ ------------ -----------

-------- -------- ----------- ------------ ------------ -----------
USD 1 - - - - -
EUR 1 - - - - -
CHF - - - - - -
During the year, GBP1k foreign-exchange related losses were recognised in profit or loss.
As described above the Company is primarily exposed to changes in the USD/GBP exchange rate. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates as summarized in the above table arises mainly from the Company's USD denominated asset.
Interest rate risk
The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IFRS 7, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables. To limit the risk the Company's main cash resources are held with banks with a minimum external rating of A.
Liquidity Risk
The Company currently holds cash balances to provide funding for normal trading activity. Trade and other payables are monitored as part of normal management routine.
As at 31 December 2022 all financial assets were classified at fair value. A maturity analysis of the Company's financial assets (excluding intercompany balances ) is as follows:

The Company holds one equity unit investment in the New York Wheel Investor LLC, which is fully written off and the Company has transferred one of the equity units to a loan note holder as part of the settlement of certain loan notes, and also an investment in the Dallas Wheel Project, which is shown under short-term investments.
In the 2018 the Company invested USD 300k into the Dallas Wheel project. This financing was in the form of a convertible loan. On 31 December 2018 the Company signed a contract to change the repayment terms for its investment in the Dallas wheel. The Company received in 2019 USD 275k however has received no further sums since. Given the uncertainty as to whether the project will ultimately proceed t he fair value of the Dallas wheel investment was fully impaired as at year end.
The equity units in New York Wheel Investor LLC are not quoted, in the prior year the Directors had regard to recent transactions in equity units of the New York Wheel and therefore assessed the value as a level 3 valuation. As the project has been stopped and the probability of the project restarting is very low, the investment in the New York Wheel was written off in full.
In July 2021 the Company issued 140,449,800 new ordinary shares to acquire the Cindrigo Group and complete the reverse takeover. In accordance with IFRS this is recognised as an investment within the accounts of Cindrigo Holdings Limited.

Note 1
On 29 January 2016, the Company issued further GBP1 million of secured convertible notes. The notes were unlisted, secured, transferable and convertible. Maturity date was 30 June 2019. The Secured Convertible Notes were secured by one common unit of New York Wheel Investor LLC, representing a total value US$1 million. Interest accrued at 8% per annum and was payable quarterly. One eighth of the interest can be settled in cash or shares at the Company's discretion. Seven eighths of the interest is settled in new convertible notes with the same terms. The notes are convertible in cash or shares at the option of the holder and can be converted into Ordinary Shares at a fixed conversion price of GBP0.80 per Ordinary Share. The Company can redeem the notes at a 10% premium anytime. As per the nature of this convertible instrument, GBP106k has been recognised as an equity component in of convertible instruments in statement of changes of equity, using a discount rate of 12%.
In August 2022 the loan notes, including all accumulated but unpaid interest, were settled by new 10-year zero coupon loan notes with a principal value of GBP1m which have been reclassified as an equity instrument under IFRS.
Note 2
The last tranche of GBP400,000 of the GBP1 million funding facility announced by the Company on 13 June 2017, was drawn on 18 January 2018 and subsequently the Company issued convertible note for GBP400,000. The notes were unlisted, unsecured, transferable and convertible. Maturity date was 8 June 2019. No conversions could happen in the first 120 days. The maximum amount that could be converted in any 30day period was 20% of the principal amount. The conversion price was the lowest volume weighted average price over 10 days prior to the conversion. Interest rate was 8% per annum and payable upon conversion at the Company's option in cash or ordinary shares at the conversion price. The Company could redeem in cash all or any part of the outstanding convertible note with a 25% premium to the principal amount. Despite reaching maturity this note was still outstanding and continued to accrue interest in accordance with the interest terms stated.
On the 6 January 2020 the Company allotted 19,535,676 new ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each to holders of the Unsecured Convertible Note, comprising 16,479,895 for the conversion of GBP25,000 of notes and a further 3,055,781 New Ordinary Shares for accumulated interest.
In August 2021 the loan notes, including all accumulated but unpaid interest, were settled by new 10- year zero coupon loan notes with a principal value of GBP700,000 which have been reclassified as an equity instrument under IFRS.
Note 3
The Company issued GBP52,000 in unsecured convertible notes on 21 September 2020. The noteholder could convert all or part of the principal amount of its notes into ordinary shares of the Company ('Ordinary Shares') at any time at a fixed conversion price of 0.1p per Ordinary Share of GBP0.01 (pre-consolidation). The notes were unlisted, unsecured, transferable and could be redeemed by the Company on 19 May 2021 , at the Company's option in cash or in Ordinary Shares at 0.1p per Ordinary Share. Interest accrued at 5% per annum and payable quarterly, or upon conversion, at the Company's option in cash or by issuing Ordinary Shares.
In August 2021 the loan notes converted automatically on the completion of the acquisition of Cindrigo Energy Limited and 194,931 new ordinary shares were issued in respect of such conversion.
Note 4
On 11 October 2021 the company created up to GBP1,575,000 Series 4 unlisted, unsecured, zero-coupon, convertible and transferable loan notes 2031.
Note 5
On 6(th) September 2022 Company received funding of SEK 18,000k from Danir AB. The loan is interest free and payable on 05 September 2025 but has an option to convert.
Note 6
On 5th August 2022 Danir agreed to lend CINH GBP750,000 at an interest rate of 5% per annum. The Loan was to be convertible at a 25% discount to VWAP or GBP1.25 per share which ever was the higher.
On 9th December 2022 CINH agreed with Danir to restructure the facility.

31 December 2022
Loss from continued operations attributable
to equity holders (GBP) (548,000)
------------
Weighted average number of shares of GBP2.667609
each 142,202,476
------------
Loss per share basic (GBP) (0.0038)
------------
Weighted average number of shares for dilutive
calculation 142,202,476
Loss per share diluted (GBP) (0.0038)
------------
31 December 2021
Loss from continued operations attributable
to equity holders (GBP) (515,000)
------------
Weighted average number of shares of GBP2.667609
each 142,202,476
------------
Loss per share basic (GBP) (0.003)
------------
Weighted average number of shares for dilutive
calculation 142,202,476
Loss per share diluted (GBP) (0.003)
------------
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss after tax attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares namely the conversion of the convertible loan note in issue. The effect of these potential dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in the above calculation of diluted earnings per share.
