SulNOx Group Plc (the "Company" or "SulNOx")
Financial Results for the Six Months to 30 September 2023
(Aquis Stock Exchange: SNOX)
The board of the directors of the Company (the "Board") is
pleased to announce its unaudited half yearly financial results for
the six months to 30 September 2023. A copy of these results has
been published on the Company's website.
Chairman's Statement
It is with great pleasure that I inform you on the Company's
main milestones and interim results for the 6 months to 30
September 2023. As you know, the year so far has been marked with
the Company welcoming a new significant shareholder, and successful
acceleration of product evaluations in the second half of the year,
a positive momentum which has significantly boosted the Company's
revenue prospects in the coming quarters.
For the 6 months to 30 September 2023, SulNOx generated
increased revenue and reduced expenses compared to the same period
in the previous year, resulting in a reduced loss of GBP869,814,
compared to a loss of GBP964,702 in the same period last year.
While sales are still behind our initial projections, we believe
that recent evaluation results and interest, particularly in the
maritime sector, will provide an upward push towards increased
revenue and profitability.
SulNOx's achievements during the period include evaluation data
evidencing material fuel and emissions savings and increased demand
for product from major shipping companies and other large fossil
fuel consumers. An enhanced management team (both technical hires
and industry leaders) will provide the needed resources and
direction to achieve our short and medium-term objectives.
Since the annual general meeting in September, the Company has
been able to secure additional funds in order to continue with our
plans to grow our global salesforce footprint. Recently, we have
added a Technical Director, and two Senior Advisors, to the current
team who will focus their attention on sales, growing and retooling
our distribution network, and supporting operational management and
client value-add.
The current economic uncertainty of geo-political events coupled
with economic forecasts has led the Board to establish new goals of
greater constraint. Within this framework our priorities are to
maintain financial discipline and compliance based upon our
strategic plan moving forward. As such, aside from essential key
hires and engagements, we have decided to maintain a policy of
austerity to ensure that the company is adequately funded until
anticipated significant sales, or additional funding,
materialize.
Since becoming Chairman of the Board just over 3 years ago, I
have defended a management policy based on discipline and
transparency. I am pleased to inform you that this policy is now
bearing fruit and the enhanced team and new advisors are
well-placed to drive the company forward. I remain confident that
the augmented organizational structure, combined with a
strengthened strategic investor base with a global vision, will
provide the ability to adapt to the opportunities from Regulatory
and other changing environments which we face today.
Despite a global backdrop of uncertainties and challenges, with
the augmented team, coupled with the unique abilities of SulNOx to
reduce fossil fuel consumption and emissions, we are ideally placed
to make the very most of a market seeking immediate solutions for
cost and climate issues that lie before us all.
I would like to end this note by expressing my sincerest thanks
to our team, our distribution network and our investors, for your
continued support and contribution to SulNOx, and look forward to
an exciting future to which we will devote all our energies.

SulNOx Group Plc
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
1. General Information
SulNOx Group Plc is a public limited company (the "Company")
incorporated in England & Wales (registration number 08449586).
The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered
office is 10 Orange Street, London WC2H 7DQ. The Company's ordinary
shares are traded on the AQSE Growth Market ("AQSE") (formerly
NEX). Copies of the interim report are available from the Company's
website www.sulnoxgroup.com . Further copies of the Interim Report
and Accounts may be obtained from the address above.
The Company's principal activity is the procurement of orders
for customers wishing to use two fuel emulsifier products
previously developed by the group and now owned under licence to
Nouryon BV.
2. Basis of Preparation
The interim financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries for the six months ended 30 September 2023, which are
unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The financial information contained in the interim report does
not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 of the
Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the full
preceding statutory reporting period is based on the statutory
accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023. Those accounts, upon
which the auditors, Jeffreys Henry LLP, issued a report which was
unqualified, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
As permitted, this interim report has been prepared in
accordance with the AQSE Growth Market Rules for Issuers and not in
accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" therefore it
is not fully compliant with IFRS.
The interim financial statements are presented in sterling.
3. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is 0.83p. The basic loss per ordinary share
is calculated by dividing the loss of GBP869,914 by 104,876,470,
the weighted average number of shares in issue during this
period.
The loss attributable to equity holders (holders of ordinary
shares) of the Company for calculating the fully diluted loss per
share is identical to that used for calculating the loss per share.
The exercise of share options would have the effect of reducing the
loss per share and is therefore anti-dilutive.
