Our experienced management team has a proven track record of identifying and executing successful investments, and we believe that our team's expertise and network will be a key advantage as we seek out new investment opportunities in the technology sector.

Investing Policy
Milton Capital Plc was formed with the intention to identify and acquire a suitable business opportunity or opportunities and undertake an acquisition or merger or a series of acquisitions or mergers.
The Company intends the main focus of the acquisition strategy to be on the technology sector, in particular: edge computing, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, robotics, blockchain, nanomaterials and the exploitation of space.
The Directors see these technologies as having considerable growth potential for the foreseeable future and many of the prospects they have identified are in this sector. The Directors believe that any acquisition target will have at least one of four key components: (i) a strong management team; (ii) an innovative product proposal (iii) revenue enhancing or cost saving capabilities; and (iv) high growth potential. It is anticipated that the main driver of success for the Company will be its focus, during the investment screening process, on the management involved in the potential target companies and the potential value creation that the team of people is capable of realising. The Company intends to own, operate and manage the target acquisitions. Accordingly, where the Directors feel that a target company would benefit from their skills and expertise, they may look to seek representation on the board of the target company.
The Directors believe that their broad, collective experience, together with their extensive network of contacts, will assist them in identifying, evaluating and funding suitable acquisition opportunities.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the period ended 31 January 2023
1. Accounting policies
General information
Milton Capital Plc (the "Company") is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered office is 3rd Floor, 80 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6EE.
The Company is listed on the standard segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange.
Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the UK adopted International Accounting Standards and Companies Act 2006.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of assets and liabilities held at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the UK adopted International Accounting Standards 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. There were no areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates were significant in the financial statements. Financial statements are prepared in Sterling and to the nearest whole pound.
Going concern
The Company has reported a loss for the year of GBP98,985,904.
The Company had other receivables balance at the year-end of GBP960,130.
The Directors therefore consider that the company has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future.
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted
There are no IFRS's or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company's balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Financial liabilities
The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the category of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. The Company does not have any financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost include:
Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Operating loss
Operating loss is stated after crediting all items of operating income and charging all items of operating expense.
Taxation
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit or loss for the period. Taxable profit or loss differs from net profit or loss as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet differs from its tax base.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised.
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities/ (assets) are settled/ (recovered).

-------------------------------------------------
The Company's financial instruments comprise of other receivables and payables that arise directly from the Company's operations. The main purpose of these instruments is to ensure that the Company has sufficient resources to fulfil its investment strategy. The main risks arising from holding these financial instruments are market risk and liquidity risk.
Market risk
All trading instruments are subject to market risk, the potential that future changes in market conditions may make any future investments less valuable, due to fluctuations in security prices, as well as interest and foreign exchange rates. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Liquidity risks
The Company seeks to manage liquidity risk by ensuring sufficient liquid assets are available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest liquid funds safely and profitably. All cash balances are immediately accessible, and the Company holds no trades payable that mature in greater than 3 months, hence a contractual maturity analysis of financial liabilities has not been presented. Since these financial liabilities all mature within 3 months, the Directors believe that their carrying value reasonably equates to fair value.
Capital Disclosure
The Company defines capital as issued capital and retained earnings as disclosed in statement of changes in equity. The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue to pursue strategic investments and continue as a going concern. The Company does not have any externally imposed financial requirements.
12. Related party transactions
During the year, the Company issued 2,700,000 ordinary shares and 5,000,000 broker warrants to Peterhouse Capital Limited, a company connected to Eran Zucker and the Company's non-executive director.
13. Operating lease commitments
