Interim results

 

Cykel AI plc (AQSE: CYK), is an AI product and research company building an AI model that navigates any software interface, transforming instructions into actions. Cykel is an automation layer for the internet. The Company announces its unaudited Interim Results for the period ended 30th November 2023. A copy of the Half-Year Results will also be available on the Company's website.

 

Executive Director's Statement Introduction

I am pleased to report the Company's interim results for the period from 22nd August to 30th November 2023.

 

Having founded the company in August 2023 we were delighted to successfully IPO on the Aquis Exchange on 25 October 2023 and raise £1.75 million gross. Since the IPO the team has been hard at work developing the platform and on 4 December 2023 we announced the Beta launch of the Artificial Intelligence-based Task Operating System (TaskOS).  TaskOS combines AI assistants and AI agents to deliver automated work at scale for any organisation.

 

Our target is for this AI Operating System to transform the way individuals and organizations manage their tasks and projects. 

 

On 19 January 2024 the Company announced the suspension of our Aquis listing and that we had entered into non-binding heads of terms with Mustang Energy plc ("Mustang") for Mustang to acquire the entire share capital of the Company. This transaction, commonly referred to as a Reverse Takeover, will allow Cykel's shareholders to benefit from a listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

See https://www.cykel.ai/proposed-all-share-acquisition-of-cykel-ai-plc-by-mustang-energy-plc for more information on the transaction.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our shareholders for their support.

 

Jonathan Bixby, Executive Director

 

 

Outlook

 

During the period of suspension, pending the Reverse Takeover, the management team are continuing to develop and refine the Task Operating System. The technical and operational roadmaps are clear and the management team are focused on achieving the milestones and turning Cykel into a full functioning, operating, Artificial Intelligence-based company. 

 

           

Responsibility Statement

·

the Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34,

Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU; and

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 22 AUG TO 30 NOV 2023

 

 

1              General information

 

Cykel AI Plc was incorporated on 22 August 2023 in England and Wales and remains domiciled there with Registered Number 15088392 under the Companies Act 2006.

The address of its registered office is 9th Floor 16, Great Queen Street, London, England, WC2B 5DG.

The principal activity of the company during the period under review was the development of Artificial Intelligence software in relation to AI automation for the internet.

2              Accounting policies

 

IAS 8 requires that management shall use its judgement in developing and applying accounting policies that result in information which is relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users, that are reliable, free from bias, prudent, complete and represent faithfully the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity.

2.1           Basis of preparation

 

The condensed interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union (EU). The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss, and are presented in pounds sterling (£). All amounts have been rounded to the nearest pound, unless otherwise stated.

 

The interim financial statements have not been audited. The interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The interim financial statements are for the period from 22 August to 30 November 2023, being six months from the financial year end for the Company being 31 May 2024. The interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. The Company has not disclosed comparative data, due to the company having incorporated on 22 August 2023 and, therefore, no such comparatives exist.

 

The functional currency for the Company is determined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Both the function and presentational currency of the Company Pounds Sterling (£).

 

The business is not considered to be seasonal in nature.

 

New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company

During the current period the Company adopted all the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 December 2022. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company

The standards and interpretations that are relevant to the Company, issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of these interim financial statements have been evaluated by the directors and they do not consider that there will be a material impact of transition on the financial statements.

 

2.2          Going concern

 

The directors have assessed the Company's ability to adopt the going concern basis of accounting and consider the adoption to be appropriate in the preparation of the interim financial statements. At period end the Company had cash and cash equivalents of £1,563,877 which at current cash burn rate is more than sufficient to last for at least 12 months and supports the adoption of the going concern.

 

2.3           Risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties relevant to the Company have not changed materially since the release of the Company's Admission Document that was released on 25 October 2023. The Company's Admission Document can be found on the Company's website.

 

2.4           Taxation

Tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

 

 

2.5           Intangible Assets

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the company are recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:

·    It is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;

·    Management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it

·    There is an ability to use or sell the software product

·    It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits

·    Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available

·    The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed three years.

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

2.6           Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Preference shares are classified as liabilities.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

 

2.7           Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The company holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. The company has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.

 

2.8           Trade and other payables

 

Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.

 

Creditors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

Creditors are presented as amounts falling due within one year unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

 

3             Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below:

 

  Share Based Payments

 

The company issues cash-settled share-based compensation benefits.

 

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

 

- during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.

- from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

 

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability. Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

A reconciliation of the tax charge appearing in the income statement to the tax that would result from applying the standard rate of tax to the results for the year is:

 

 

 

Loss per accounts

(1,432)

(358)

Adjustment for items disallowable for tax

-

Tax losses for which no deferred tax is recognised

-

Total

1,432

 

The Company has total carried forward losses of £1,432,554 The taxed value of the unrecognised deferred tax asset is £358,138. No deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses have been recognised in the accounts because there is currently insufficient evidence of the timing of suitable future taxable profits against which they can be recovered.

 

On 15 March 2023 it was announced that from 1 April 2023 the UK corporation tax rate would increase from

19% to 25% for profits over £250,000. Profits made under the £250,000 threshold will continue to be taxed at a rate of 19%.
