| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The company continues to run the first operational deep geothermal project in the UK in 37 years, supplying heat to the Eden Project on a long-term commercial arms-length agreement, to it's iconic biomes, offices and its new nursery. |
| The company continues its development in three areas: |
| - The development of our second well and an electricity project at our site has received a significant boost. We are expecting notification before the end of the year that the changes being made to the connection process at the National Grid will bring forward our delayed electricity connection to a much closer date. We are now advancing our planning to drill a second well, which will enable us to develop a two well deep geothermal system where super-heated water from the hot rock formations deep underground is brought to the surface at a temperature sufficient to enable the production of electricity as well as heat. We have now appointed brokers to assist in the fundraising process to finance the development; |
| - We are working to add further heat users on its site, the first is expected at the end of 2025; |
| - We are now successfully offering the company’s services to help develop geothermal projects throughout the UK. Since the start of our geothermal operations, it has been clear that having a demonstration site is a key part of the development of the UK Deep Geothermal industry, the large number of visits to our site from a wide spectrum of interested parties shows that there is a big appetite to make deep geothermal an integral part of the UK's energy solution for the future. |
| We have seen a lot of positive developments in the geothermal industry, including the release of invitations to tender for three publicly funded deep geothermal sites in recent weeks. |
| The company has carried out a refinancing programme during the year. Firstly, in June 2024, GCP Geothermal Funding 1 Ltd completed a debt for equity swap, converting its loan to 9,500,000 C Ordinary shares at a subscription price of £1 per share. Secondly the company issued a further 10,000,000 A Ordinary Shares and 10,000,000 B Ordinary Shares to its existing Company shareholders at a subscription price of £0.01 per share, which will be followed by further shares issues in 2025, to ensure that the company has sufficient finances to continue its development. |

| DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Eden Geothermal Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| In preparing these financial statements: |
| - the financial statements have been presented in pound sterling as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. |
| - the company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption in section 7 of FRS102 for a small company not to prepare a statement of cash flows. |
| - in accordance with section 34.11 of FRS102 applied the requirements of IFRS6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Also when references are made to other IFRS's within IFRS6, the references will be taken to be relevant sections or paragraphs within FRS102. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| Decommissioning costs involve estimating future expenses to dismantle and restore assets, which are subject to significant uncertainty. This uncertainty arises from factors such as changes in regulations, advancements in technology, fluctuations in labour and material costs, and the timing of decommissioning activities. As these estimates involve judgment, they are reviewed regularly, taking expert advice where appropriate, and adjusted to reflect updated information or changes in assumptions. |
| Revenue |
| For all contracts with customers the Company recognises revenue when performance obligations have been satisfied. For most of the Company's contracts revenue is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. |
| For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company recognises revenue over time by measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The objective when measuring progress is to depict an entity's performance in transferring control of goods or services promised to a customer (i.e. the satisfaction of an entity's performance obligation). The nature of the goods or service that the entity promised to transfer to the customer determines the appropriate method for measuring progress. The Company mainly uses the output method as the core services provided include the initial connection to the Company's assets and then the ongoing supply of energy to the customer. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Financial instruments |
| Trade and other debtors/creditors. |
| Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition debtors and creditors are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If a creditor arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
| Capitalisation policy |
| The costs incurred during the construction of the ERDF Project assets have been capitalised in full including overheads incurred. |
| Assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. |
| Depreciation policy |
| All assets will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. This method is chosen to reflect the even consumption of the economic benefits of the assets over time. |
| - ERDF Project Assets: The economic life of the assets from the ERDF project has been assessed as 35 years. |
| - Temporary Office Buildings: These assets will be depreciated over a period of 5 years, reflecting their temporary nature and shorter useful life. |
| Grant release policy. |
| ERDF Project Assets: The capital grants received from ERDF and Cornwall Council will also be released over the same 35-year economic life period. The release of the capital grants is linked to the depreciation to ensure both are fully amortised over the same duration. |
| Impairment of financial assets. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found an impairment loss is recognised within profit or loss. |
| The impairment loss for the ERDF Project Assets is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the value of the associated capital grants. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account , except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Going concern |
| The directors have assessed the financial position of the company. |
| At 31st December 2024, the company had net current liabilities of £540,273 (2023: £358,608), while net liabilities have reduced significantly to £691,457 (2023: £9,825,410) following the refinancing in June 2024. |
| Recognising the continuing challenges of its financial position at the end of 2024, the company has carried out further financial restructuring. Firstly, issuing further shares in February 2025 which had been approved in 2024 introducing further capital of £50,000 to the company. Secondly, in September 2025 the shareholders agreed to issue additional share capital which will introduce a further £125,000 into the company. The company has agreed an extension to its agreement to supply heat to the Eden Project, and negotiations to add a further customer for the heat are at an advanced stage. The company has also started to bring in revenue for its consultancy services. |
| The directors have assessed future cash flow forecasts, and consider that the additional share capital will ensure that the company has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements, and have therefore signed these accounts on a going concern basis. |
