Alpha Growth plc
Unaudited interim report for period ended
30 June 2023
Chairman's Statement
PERIODED 30 JUNE 2023
I am pleased to announce our unaudited interim financial results
for the period to 30 June 2023.
The key highlights during the period were as follows:
-- 53% increase in revenues compared to equivalent period;
-- Net assets more than doubled compared to net assets as at June 2022;
-- Continuing progress on integrating the insurance businesses
with opportunities identified to enhance profitability;
-- Bought out the minority interests in Northstar Group
(Bermuda) Limited whilst further aligning the interests of Dan Gray
with the Group through a share-to-share exchange; and
-- Released share-based payment reserves following the expiry of
over 25 million options attributable to former directors and
employees.
The relatively small drop in losses reflects the transition and
integration costs associated with Alpha International Life
Assurance Company that are now largely resolved.
We expect our cash flow to improve, and we continue to believe
that we will not require a placing of shares, unless it is for
strategic acquisition and growth purposes.
We continue to advance our buy and build strategy to ensure
continued and substantive ongoing growth of the business. We
continue to be presented with and review potential acquisitions
that are both complementary and supplementary to its existing
businesses which will further enhance free cash flow and move us
close to executing the 2B plan. To this end, the appointment of
Jason Sutherland as a full-time executive has greatly enhanced our
ability to identify and undertake due diligence on potential
targets.
Our strategy continues to insulate us from a lot of the
volatility in capital markets although we appreciate that our share
price performance continues to disappoint. The Directors firmly
believe that the value creation strategy will feed through to the
share price as the Company looks to continue to deliver on their
stated goals.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the shareholders
for their continued support as we build Alpha Growth into a
significant organisation within its sector.

RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD
INTERIM PERIODED 30 June 2023
The results of the Group have been addressed above in the
Chairman's statement.
Responsibility Statement
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
(a) the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared
in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting';
(b) the interim management report includes a fair review of the
information required by DTR 4.2.7R (indication of important events
during the first six months and description of principal risks and
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and
(c) the interim management report includes a fair review of the
information required by DTR 4.2.8R (disclosure of related parties'
transactions and changes therein).
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This Interim Management Report (IMR) has been prepared solely to
provide additional information to shareholders to assess the
Company's strategies and the potential for those strategies to
succeed. The IMR should not be relied on by any other party or for
any other purpose.
Going Concern
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operation or existence for the
foreseeable future thus we continue to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing these interim financial statements. As detailed
in the Chairman's statement the on-going expected timing of
transactions that the Company plans to be involved in and generate
fees from, continue as planned and therefore should benefit the
Group in the longer term.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the business
activities of the Group remain those detailed in the Prospectus
dated 15 December 2021, a copy of which is available on the Company
website at www.algwplc.com. The Board considers that these remain a
current reflection of the risks and uncertainties facing the
business for the remaining four months of the financial year.

Alpha Growth plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
interim results to 30 june 2023
1. Organisation and Trading Activities
The company is incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales
as a public limited company and operates from its registered office
35 Berkeley Square, Mayfair London, United Kingdom W1J 5BF
The principal activity of the Group is the provision of advice
and consultancy services to institutional investors and existing
and prospective holders of Senior Life Settlements through the
management of its funds and the ownership of life insurance
companies.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted and applied in the
preparation of these interim Group Financial statements are set out
below.
These have been consistently applied to all the periods
presented unless otherwise stated:
Basis of accounting
These interim financial statements of Alpha Growth plc (the
"Group") have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted
international accounting standards ("UK-adopted IAS") applied in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention on the basis of the accounting policies
as set out in the Group's audited annual financial statements and
are presented in GBP GBP the presentational and functional currency
of the Group. The Group has applied IAS 34 in the preparation of
these interim financial statements.
This announcement was approved and authorised by the Board of
directors on 28 September 2023. Copies of this interim report will
be made available on the Company's website at www.algwplc.com .
These condensed interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2023 are unaudited and do not constitute fully
prepared statutory accounts. The comparative figures for the 12
month period ended 31 December 2022 are extracted from the 2022
audited financial statements. The independent auditor's report on
the 2022 financial statements was not qualified.
Going concern
Any consideration of the foreseeable future involves making a
judgement, at a particular point in time, about future events which
are inherently uncertain.
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
sufficient cash and liquid reserves in order to meet any future
obligations and thus to continue operating for the foreseeable
future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing the Financial Statements.
3. EARNINGS per Share
The basic earnings per share is based on the loss for the period
divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during
the year. The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the
Company the period ended 30 June 2023 assumes that all shares have
been included in the computation based on the weighted average
number of days since issue. Since the Group has made a loss in the
current and each of the prior periods, the warrants in issue are
not dilutive.
