Under IFRS, the Company's unquoted investments are generally carried at cost or the most recent priced funding round.

The Board notes the c £1.2 million decline in the Company's NAV during the quarter which relates primarily to the following:

  • An increase of £1.3 million in the value of the Company's holding in Solar Foods Oy ("Solar Foods") which is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland;

  • An unrealised FX loss of £2.5 million following revaluation of investments to month end spot rate where we hold certain of our investments in USD, EUR and AUD, due to negative movements in these currencies against the Company's reporting currency of Pound Sterling in the quarter; and

  • Cash balances reduced by £0.4 million relating to ongoing running costs, and the cash balances at 31 December 2024 were £10.2 million. This is offset by interest income earned during the quarter, with £80,000 cash interest and £281,000 loan note interest income earned.

During the period, no fees were payable or accrued in accordance with the Shellbay Investments Limited Agreement. Shellbay's fees are solely payable when there is an annual increase in the NAV; further details are included in the 2024 annual report.

During the 3-month period to 31 March 2025, the following portfolio companies completed fund raising activities:

  • On 21 January 2025, Formo Bio GmbH secured a EUR 35 million loan from the European Investment Bank;

  • On 30 January 2025, Liberation Labs Holdings Inc closed a convertible loan note fundraise with US$ 31.5 million in new capital, which brought the total raised under this round to US$ 50.5 million. Agronomics invested a total of US $7.4 million in the convertible note raise; and

  • On 7 February 2025, Good Dog Food t/a Meatly became the first company in the world to supply for sale cultivated meat for pet food, as well as the first to sell cultivated meat in Europe.

Jim Mellon, Executive Chair of Agronomics, commented:

In the first quarter of the year, the Agronomics portfolio has made fantastic commercial and operational progress.

Liberation Labs, off the back of the recent US$ 50.5 million fundraise in January 2025, announced an important manufacturing partnership with Dutch ingredients company Vivici to produce its Vivitein™ ingredient at scale for the US nutritional market. Meanwhile, Blue Nalu has expanded its strategic partnership with Nomad Foods, Europe's leading frozen food company, to support the commercialisation of its cell-cultivated seafood products in the UK and across Europe.

More and more of the portfolio continues to make progress toward achieving regulatory approval for the sale of products. The latest being All G Foods, which has received regulatory approval in China, and Onego, BlueNalu and Meatable which are expecting to receive regulatory approval by the end of the year.

The progress we have achieved during a challenging period for much of the clean food industry and a volatile global economic landscape pays testament to the quality of our portfolio and our ability to identify future category leaders. It also demonstrates how food companies are prioritising investment in scalable and sustainable clean food solutions.

We expect this level of progress to continue into the second half of the year, with several further funding rounds set to close and regulatory approvals on the horizon.
