Chairman's Statement

 

The six-month period ended 31 March 2026 marked a clear transition for capAI, the applied AI venture platform, as it moved from strategic repositioning into early-stage operational execution. We built out our AI content creation platforms through a capital-efficient licence and option model, simplified our capital structure, launched a new division in healthcare AI, entered the US markets and strengthened the Board. I am encouraged by the progress made and by the momentum that continued into the second half of the financial year.

 

Capital Structure

 

On 6 October 2025, shareholders approved a 10:1 share consolidation, which simplified our capital structure and supported our listing on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States. Trading on the OTCQB commenced on 5 November 2025 under the ticker CPIQF, expanding our potential investor base and embedding capAI within the global AI investment community.

 

In November 2025, warrants were exercised resulting in the issue of 20,500,000 new ordinary shares for aggregate proceeds of £124,688. Following these exercises, anti-dilution provisions were applied and additional conditional awards were granted to Executive Directors in proportion to the enlarged share capital, consistent with prior disclosures. The Company also confirmed AlbR Capital Limited as its corporate broker following the merger of Peterhouse Capital and Novum Securities, effective 1 October 2025.

 

In February 2026, the Company raised £252,500 through a placing and subscription at £0.01 per share. Directors participated for a combined £40,000, and the proceeds are being deployed to support platform development, early-stage commercialisation, and partnership structuring across capMedical and capMedia.

 

Author42 - Soft Launch

 

On 18 November 2025, we announced the soft launch of Author42, capMedia's AI-assisted writing platform supporting nonfiction and fiction workflows. The platform combines concept validation, planning, drafting and editing tools designed to assist authors throughout the writing process. The soft launch followed a successful 12-week public beta, with subscription plans beginning at US$20 per month.

 

Movie42 (formerly Creator42) - MVP Achieved During the Period

 

On 15 October 2025, R42 Group, LLC formally delivered the Completion Notice for Creator42, confirming the platform had reached minimum viable product readiness. The 12-month licence period became effective from 14 October 2025. Creator42 - subsequently renamed Movie42 - enables users to transform books, stories and concepts into AI-generated cinematic trailers and visual content, representing a significant extension of the content ecosystem available to capMedia.

 

capMedical - New Division

 

On 7 October 2025, we incorporated capMedical Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary in Delaware, to advance our AI-driven medical and longevity initiatives. The UK subsidiaries were simultaneously renamed capMedia (UK) Ltd and capMedical (UK) Ltd, establishing a clear transatlantic operating framework.

 

In February 2026, the Company provided a strategic update on capMedical's direction, outlining a focus on longevity, preventative health and other healthcare applications where AI may accelerate innovation and value creation. capMedical continues to evaluate a number of projects under active review, applying the same disciplined and capital-efficient framework used across the Group's broader portfolio.

 

Board Changes

 

On 16 December 2025, Richard Edwards stepped down as Executive Director following 14 months of transformative leadership. Richard's vision and energy were instrumental in repositioning capAI as an AI-focused operating group, and I thank him warmly for his contribution. He was treated as a good leaver under the capAI Long Term Incentive Plan.

 

Jack Allardyce was appointed Executive Director with immediate effect. Jack brings over 20 years of capital markets, corporate finance and executive leadership experience. With his appointment, I assumed the role of Executive Chairman. On appointment, Jack was granted options over 8,166,667 ordinary shares and subscribed for 2,000,000 shares in the February 2026 fundraise, demonstrating immediate personal alignment with shareholders.

 

Summary

 

We end the period with Author42 completing a successful public beta, a new division underway, US market access, a simplified capital structure, and a strengthened Board. capAI operates a capital-efficient venture model, securing access to AI technologies through licence and option agreements with R42 Group, enabling the Group to evaluate multiple opportunities while retaining option-based exposure to successful projects. I continue to draw no salary, with my remuneration aligned exclusively to long-term equity value creation for shareholders. I am grateful to all shareholders, partners and advisers for their continued support and look forward to reporting further progress.

 

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

 

As at 31 March 2026, the Group continued to execute its refined AI-led strategy under a refreshed leadership team. The Board continues to monitor and manage risks actively.

 

Key risks for the remainder of the financial year include:

 

Strategic and Execution Risk: Delivery of the Group's AI strategy depends on identifying and developing quality opportunities, structuring ventures effectively, and scaling efficiently. Operational complexity and disciplined execution remain central priorities.

 

Key Personnel Risk: The Group's progress is closely tied to its small senior team, particularly Professor Nag. The loss of key individuals could impact delivery. This is mitigated through share options and robust governance.

 

Funding and Market Risk: While the Group had sufficient resources at the period end, this position was further strengthened post period-end through the receipt of proceeds from a placing and the exercise of warrants. The Board is on record as being disciplined and measured in its approach to dilution, seeking to balance funding needs with shareholder value. Nonetheless, future funding may be required to support the growth of projects. The Group recognises that investor sentiment and broader economic conditions may influence access to capital.

 

Regulatory and Related Party Risk: The Company is subject to the UK Listing Rules, Market Abuse Regulation, and Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("DTR"). Related party matters, especially regarding the strategic alliance with R42, are subject to clear procedures and oversight by independent directors.

 

Currency Risk: The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily in US dollars, arising from its US subsidiaries (capMedia Inc and capMedical Inc) and activities conducted in the United States. The Group monitors its foreign currency exposure and manages this risk through appropriate treasury oversight and cost discipline. This risk has increased during the period following the incorporation of capMedical Inc in October 2025.

 

Going Concern: The Board considers it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, while remaining mindful of future delivery milestones and capital planning.

 

Financial Risk: Liquidity was managed conservatively to support operations and strategic objectives.

 

Financial Review

 

The loss before taxation for the six-month period ended 31 March 2026 was £ £967,906 (six-month period ended 31 March 2025: loss of £136,946), primarily due to administrative expenses.

 

Administrative expenses of £968,791 (six-month period ended 31 March 2025: £137,062) were incurred during the period, mainly in connection with maintaining the Company's listing on the Official List and supporting ongoing operations. These costs included regulatory and professional fees, consultancy services, D&O insurance, non-executive director fees, and executive director share-based remuneration.

 

Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 March 2026 stood at £120,487, up from £101,101 as at 31 March 2025, an increase due to continued fundraising during the period to support the ongoing development and running costs of the company.

 

The Directors remain confident in the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, supported by successful fundraisings and ongoing strategic developments.

 

Directors

 

The Directors of the Company during the period ended 31 March 2026 and after the period-end were:

 

Professor Ronjon Nag

Richard Andrew Edwards (resigned 16 December 2025)

Sarah Jane Davy

Marcus Yeoman

John (Jack) Allardyce (appointed 16 December 2025)

 

Related Party Disclosures

 

Details of Director participation in fundraisings, share option grants, and related party transactions are disclosed in the Chairman's Statement and are further explained in the notes to the interim financial statements.

 

Directors' Responsibility Statement

 

The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge:

 

· the interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted in the United Kingdom;

 

· the interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position and loss of the Group;

 

· the Interim Report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7R, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the interim financial information, and a fair description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

 

· the interim financial information includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R, being the information required on related party transactions.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Since the period-end, several significant developments have taken place in the development of the Group's applied AI venture platform.

 

On 21 April 2026, the Company held its Annual General Meeting, at which all resolutions were passed. A trading and strategy update was also provided to shareholders on the same date.

 

On 7 May 2026, the Company announced the exercise of warrants resulting in the issue of 5,290,000 new ordinary shares for aggregate consideration of £19,838.

 

On 9 June 2026, the Company announced the public availability of Movie42 and Gamers42 beta applications, together with significant enhancements to Author42, and hosted a live product webinar for shareholders and users.

 

On 16 June 2026, the Company was pleased to announce that Professor Ronjon Nag, Executive Chairman, was awarded an OBE in the King's Birthday Honours List for services to artificial intelligence and technology.

 

Outlook

 

The Board is confident in the Group's strategic direction and its ability to deliver meaningful long-term value for shareholders. The Group is progressing its focused strategy of disciplined execution, capital efficiency and the selective advancement of high-potential AI opportunities, supported by its licence and option partnership with R42.

 

The Group's core philosophy is to grow the business through capital-efficient AI ventures while seeking to minimise dilution for shareholders. The Company secures access to technologies through option-based agreements, enabling evaluation of multiple opportunities without committing significant capital upfront.

 

The Board extends its sincere thanks to shareholders, partners and advisers for their continued support and belief in the Group's vision.

 

We look forward to the journey ahead as the Board remains focused on executing the Group's strategic vision.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the six-month period ended 31 March 2026

 

1. General information

 

capAI plc (the "Company") is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales on 20 April 2011. During the previous reporting period, on 4 February 2025, the Company changed its name from Dukemount Capital plc to capAI plc to reflect its strategic repositioning in the AI sector.

 

The Company was admitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority by way of a Standard Listing and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 29 March 2017. Following UK Listing Reforms effective 29 July 2024, the Company has been mapped to the Equity Shares (Transition) category, under which it continues to comply with the Standard Listing requirements.

 

The interim report and financial statements for the six-month period ended 31 March 2026 comprise the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").

 

The Group's principal activity is the development and commercialisation of artificial intelligence technologies through its strategic framework: Identify, Incubate and Invent. It focuses on sourcing, building and scaling high-efficiency, high-impact ventures, with an initial emphasis on media and medicine, while retaining flexibility to pursue exceptional opportunities across the broader AI, deep tech and longevity landscape.

 

The Company's registered office is 9 Innovation Place, Douglas Drive, Godalming, Surrey, GU7 1JX.

 

2. Basis of preparation

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, on a going concern basis, and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and IFRIC interpretations as adopted for use in the United Kingdom ("IFRS"). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements contained in this document do not constitute statutory accounts. In the opinion of the Directors, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements fairly present the financial position, performance and cash flows for the period. The Board of Directors approved this Interim Financial Report on 30 June 2026.

 

The Group's accounting reference date is 30 September. Accordingly, this interim reporting period covers the six months from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026, with comparatives presented for the six-month period ended 31 March 2025 and the year ended 30 September 2025.

 

Statement of compliance

 

The interim report includes the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted in the United Kingdom.

Accounting policies

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025. There have been no new accounting standards or interpretations adopted in the current period that have a material impact on the financial information.

 

Going concern

 

The Directors have assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account its financial position as at 31 March 2026 and developments since the period end. While the Group had sufficient resources at the reporting date, this position was further strengthened through proceeds received from the exercise of warrants.

 

The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these interim financial statements on a going concern basis. While further funding may be required to support the execution and scale-up of the Group's AI strategy, the Board is confident in its ability to secure such funding as and when required. This confidence is underpinned by the Group's strategic repositioning into a high-growth and topical sector, strong shareholder alignment, and the depth of experience within the Board and leadership team, and the Group's established track record of raising capital.

 

However, the potential requirement for additional capital represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis remains appropriate.

Diluted earnings per share for the period ended 31 March 2026 includes the potential impact of outstanding share options and warrants, where these are dilutive.

 

As the Group reported a net loss for the six-month period ended 31 March 2026, the diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share. The effect of all potentially dilutive instruments, including share options and warrants outstanding at the period end, would be anti-dilutive and has therefore been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

On 6 October 2025, the Company implemented a 10:1 share consolidation, whereby every ten existing ordinary shares were consolidated into one ordinary share.

 

As a consequence of the share consolidation, the number of options and conditional awards outstanding and their exercise prices were adjusted in accordance with the terms of the relevant option awards. These adjustments were mechanical in nature and did not result in any modification to the fair value of the awards for the purposes of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.

 

On 4 November 2025, the Company received notice for a warrant exercise and issued 20,500,000 ordinary £0.0001 shares for a total consideration of £124,688.

 

In February 2026, the Company completed a fundraise and issued 27,250,000 ordinary shares at £0.01 per share, comprising 25,250,000 shares placed for cash raising gross proceeds of £252,500 and 2,000,000 shares issued in settlement of £20,000 of professional fees.

Warrants

 

Warrants issued for services provided are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payments under IFRS 2 - Share-Based Payment. These comprise adviser warrants granted in consideration for professional services rendered to the Company. During the period, 757,500 warrants were issued to AlbR Capital Limited, the Company's corporate broker, in connection with the February 2026 placing, representing 3% of the placing shares issued. These warrants are exercisable at £0.00375 per share and expire on 5 March 2027. The fair value of such warrants has been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the relevant service period.

 

No warrants were issued to investors pursuant to the February 2026 placing.

 

As at 31 March 2026, the Company had the following warrants outstanding:

Share options

 

The Company has implemented equity-settled share-based payment arrangements for its directors, accounted for under IFRS 2 - Share-Based Payment. During the period, Richard Edwards resigned as Executive Director on 16 December 2025 and was treated as a good leaver under the capAI Long Term Incentive Plan (see further detail below). Jack Allardyce was appointed Executive Director on the same date and was granted options over 8,166,667 ordinary shares. The options have been granted under performance-linked incentive schemes designed to align director remuneration with shareholder value creation.

 

Vesting of the options is conditional on achieving specific share price hurdles and maintaining continuous service over defined periods. The fair value of each grant has been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the total value expensed over the vesting periods in accordance with IFRS 2.

 

Richard Edwards resigned as Executive Director on 16 December 2025 and was treated as a good leaver in accordance with the terms of his option awards. His vested options (First Tranche and Second Tranche) were retained in full, comprising 28,000,000 options exercisable at £0.00315 per share from the January 2025 grant and 25,000,000 options exercisable at £0.0001 per share from the March 2025 grant.

 

His retained options are exercisable until 17 December 2027. The anti-dilution provisions apply to the First and Second Tranches of the March 2025 award only; these provisions were disapplied in respect of the Third Tranche pursuant to the departure agreement. Under IFRS 2, the Group recognises the cumulative charge attributable to the retained and accelerated awards, with the charge on lapsed awards reversed.

 

On 17 December 2025, Jack Allardyce was granted options on his appointment as Executive Director under the capAI Long Term Incentive Plan. The award comprises two tranches: 4,000,000 options at an exercise price of £0.00315 per share and 4,166,667 options at an exercise price of £0.0001 per share, in each case with a share price at the date of grant of £0.0130 per share. The options vest on 12 March 2026, in line with the vesting date of Richard Edwards' retained awards. The total fair value of £94,794, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (inputs disclosed in the table below), has been recognised as a share-based payment charge in the period.

 

As at 31 March 2026, the Company had the following options outstanding:

In accordance with the directors' remuneration arrangements as disclosed in the Company's RNS dated 12 March 2025, the Company has committed that, in the event the Company's current outstanding warrants (including those issued as part of the March 2025 conditional fundraising) and previous options (as set out in the RNS dated 29 January 2025) are exercised, Professor Nag will be granted further options proportionately and on the same terms as his existing awards, to maintain his options as a consistent percentage of the enlarged issued share capital. In respect of Richard Edwards, the anti-dilution protection applies only to the March 2025 First Tranche and Second Tranche options retained following his good leaver treatment; pursuant to his departure agreement dated 17 December 2025, the anti-dilution provisions were disapplied in respect of his March 2025 Third Tranche.

 

Fair value measurement

 

A Black-Scholes model has been used to determine the fair value of both warrants and share options at the respective grant dates. The model incorporates several factors, including:

 

· the market price of the Company's shares at grant date,

· the exercise price of the instrument,

· expected share price volatility,

· expected life of the option/warrant,

· risk-free interest rate, and

· the expected level of future dividends (assumed nil).

 

The inputs into the model were as follows:

The share options granted on 29 January 2025 and 12 March 2025 have a contractual life of 10 years from their respective grant dates. For the purposes of calculating the fair value under IFRS 2, the Company has applied an expected option life of 3 years from the respective grant dates, consistent with small-cap market norms.

 

The Company has applied an expected volatility of 20% in valuing share-based payment arrangements using the Black-Scholes model. This reflects historical share price movement and is considered appropriate for a UK small-cap issuer, such as the Company. Volatility is assessed at the grant date and is not adjusted retrospectively.

 

Share-based payment expense

 

The total fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted during the period was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as detailed above.

 

The following table presents the fair value of the share-based awards granted during the period and the corresponding charge recognised in the income statement:

The fair value of each option was determined using the Black-Scholes model, assuming a three-year option life, consistent with small-cap norms. Although the awards vest in tranches over shorter service milestones and share price performance targets, the Board considers the options to form part of a longer-term incentive plan. Accordingly, the total fair value is recognised on a straight-line basis over a three-year service period, reflecting the substance of the arrangement.

 

The remainder of the fair value of the share options will be recognised in future periods over the three-year service period, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2.

 

Options granted 4 November 2025 (anti-dilution awards)

 

Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions disclosed in the RNS dated 12 March 2025, the exercise of warrants in November 2025 triggered conditional option awards to maintain Executive Directors' options as a consistent percentage of the enlarged issued share capital. The following options were conditionally awarded on 4 November 2025:

 

Professor Ronjon Nag: 39,300,000 options

Richard Edwards: 9,800,000 options

 

The share price on 4 November 2025 was 2.11 pence per share. The exercise price and vesting conditions mirror the terms of the original March 2025 awards. The IFRS 2 fair value measurement for these anti-dilution awards requires complex analysis given the modification and proportionate adjustment mechanics.
