"Given the business was operationally ready, following the successful
completion of the technology build of the Plugin Overdraft(R),
it is therefore with deep regret that we have had to scale back
operations in Fiinu 2 Limited and Fiinu Holdings Limited. The
current general capital, and market specific conditions, are
increasingly challenging for a business at Fiinu's current stage
of development.
"I would like to take the opportunity to thank our shareholders
for their support and colleagues for the considerable efforts
in developing the technology and the infrastructure to be in
a position to launch the product into the market.
"We continue in our efforts to seek the required investment to
re-apply for the banking licence, whilst also considering other
options for the business, which may include a change of strategy
or sale of the Group's technology assets ."

existing primary bank account, no matter which bank they may
use. Fiinu's vision is built around Open Banking, and it believes
that it increases competition and innovation in UK banking.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial information contained in this document does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 ("the Act"). The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors confirmed that the financial statements:
-- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the Parent Company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of the Group's loss for the period then ended;
-- have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and, as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and
-- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The auditors conducted the audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the Parent Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council's ('FRC') Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities and public interest entities and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The auditors drew the attention to the financial statements, which indicates that when assessing the Group and Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the directors have concluded that a material uncertainty exists in relation to the Company's ability to raise the capital required to support its subsidiaries, ('Fiinu 2 Limited's'), year one of operations post approval from the Prudential Regulatory Authority ('PRA') and the Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA') to operate as a bank without restrictions, following the re-submission of the Bank's banking application.
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022 are unaudited.

All intra-Group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Subsidiaries are consolidated in the Group's financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. the cost of an acquisition is measured at fair value at the date of exchange of the consideration.
