Scott Livingston, CEO of S-Ventures, comments:

"I am pleased to report our interim results for the six months to 30 June 2025.

We have completed the disposal of substantially all of the operating subsidiaries in the Group to AIM quoted Tooru PLC and S-Ventures PLC holds 26.7% of the ordinary shares in Tooru PLC, which is the Company's principal asset.

In our opinion, the share prices of both companies don't represent the true value of the brands we are building but we have remained loyal to the public markets.

We expect to finalise a way forward to distribute the Tooru equity to shareholders. We are also looking for a deal for S- Ventures and there are many opportunities we are considering, largely in the same consumer and tech space.

The subsidiaries have performed in line with expectations, and the brands are building traction. As we move forward, our focus remains on maximising value for shareholders, whether through the distribution of our Tooru plc equity or through pursuing strategic opportunities that align with the Company".

Interim management report

Following the completion of the Reverse Takeover by Tooru plc of the five subsidiary businesses, Juvela, Pulsin, Market Rocket, We Love Purely and S-Ventures Acquisitions, on 28 May 2025, these accounts include the results of those subsidiaries for the first five months only.

As a result of this transaction, the Company has become a cash shell which, under Aquis Rules means it is an enterprise company. The principal assets of the Company are comprised of a 26.7% holding of ordinary shares in Tooru plc, a minority shareholding in Coldpress Foods Limited and a dormant subsidiary, Ohso Chocolate Limited.
