"This period has seen the launch of our Skin+CELL skincare range launched globally via our dedicated Direct To Consumer ("DTC") website www.skinandcell.com. Establishing any new brand into a marketplace takes time, however, since launch, we have seen steady increases month on month, in traction across social media, hits to our website and conversion to sales. This is recognised in the positive feedback we have received from all users of the product range, unanimous in its praise on the dramatic effects on their skin, across all demographics.

We have previously advised that we are actively exploring additional routes to market, alongside the DTC route. Discussions are progressing with a number of parties on potential collaborations and deals.

We look forward to updating the market further on these activities."

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

CEO's Report

This period has seen the launch of our Skin+CELL skincare range launched globally via our dedicated Direct To Consumer ("DTC") website www.skinandcell.com and through social media platforms of Instagram, FaceBook and TikTok.

Skin+CELL is a unique product. It is a luxury skincare range, which has been created by scientific experts in formulation and delivery technologies and is uniquely capable of effecting cellular repair. The products are aesthetically stunning in look and feel and have demonstrated proven results backed by our own and independent scientific research. 

That effect is recognised in the positive feedback we have received from all users of the product range, unanimous in its praise on the dramatic effects on their skin, across all demographics.

Establishing any new brand into a marketplace takes time, however, we have seen good initial traction across social media and positive feedback through our website from those consumers who have purchased Skin+CELL with immediate revenues recorded in the six weeks from our August launch to the end of September reporting period.

We have also seen recent (post balance sheet) sales volumes increasing due to sales and promotions, including a B3Face cream discount and a Black Friday event. This is also influenced by increased traction across social media, hits to our website and subsequent conversion to sales.

We have looked at the specific data, which is an invaluable asset, owned by us, to understand from where hits to our site are directed, which product is most popular and location/demographic of the purchaser. The data shows that our most successful marketing is via Instagram and our most successful product is B3 Face.

As well as analysing the data from the website, we are collating feedback from consumers on our launch and subsequent roll out. Our next steps are to enhance and amplify the DTC global roll out and look further to brand expansion and innovation.

Scientific research published in June demonstrates Skin+CELL's unique capabilities, providing independent proof of our technology and firmly underlining the repairing, restoring and positive protective effects of our formulation to bring a unique new approach to skincare, including valuable UV protection data.

Skincare that is scientifically proven to reach below the dermal layer to the cellular structure, to effect real change in restoration and repair truly is skincare for everyone.

We have previously advised that we are actively exploring additional routes to market, alongside the DTC route. Discussions are progressing with a number of parties on potential collaborations and deals.

We look forward to updating the market further on these activities.
