Hellenic Dynamics Plc (Formerly known as U.K. SPAC Plc)
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
• The comparatives within the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cashflow statement represent that of the
legal subsidiary and accounting acquirer, Hellenic Dynamics S.A. for the year-ended 31 December 2021.
The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition but as U.K. SPAC Plc did not meet the definition of a business it was
not treated as a business combination under IFRS 3. Instead, in accordance with IFRS 2, the deemed issue of shares to the
original U.K. SPAC Plc shareholders by Hellenic Dynamics Plc was accounted for as a share-based payment, which gives rise
to a non-cash charge in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of £3.7million, which is included within the
reverse acquisition reserve.
The Reverse Acquisition Accounting is described in more detail in note 9 to these financial statements.
Revenue and cost of sales – no trading activity was recorded in the period, as the Company is completing the build and fit-out
of its cultivation facilities.
Administrative expenses – total costs of £1,147,442 incurred in the 15 month period to 31 March 2023 (12 months to 31
December 2021: £334,560), incorporate staff costs of £296,668 (2021: £81,315), professional service fees (predominately
relating the reverse takeover of U.K. SPAC Plc) of £361,422 (2021: £66,578), promotion and advertising £87,743 (2021:
£49,256), and non-cash share based payment charges of £62,921 (2021: £Nil).
Operating loss – is gross profit less administrative expenses and equates to £1,147,442 in the period to 31 March 2023 (2021:
£334,560).
Reverse acquisition expense – as detailed above, the reverse acquisition of U.K. SPAC Plc by the Company, resulted in a non-
cash share-based payment charge of £3,700,209, due to the difference between the deemed cost and the fair value of the net
assets at acquisition.
Total comprehensive loss for the period – was £4,853,146 (2021: £342,012) after incorporating £15,388 of finance costs (2021:

Non-current assets – increased by £106,421 to £961,726 at the period ended 31 March 2023, primarily due to a net £104,103
increase in property, plant and equipment, and by £1,753 increase in the value of the right-of-use assets.
Current assets – increased by £2,130,760 to £2,304,055 at the period end 31 March 2023, resulting from the £1,781,047 cash
balance realised from the reverse acquisitions of U.K. SPAC Plc, and £834,652 of funds arising from the subscription and issue
of the convertible loan note on 5 December 2022.
