On 16 March 2022 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Phoenix Sustainable Investments Limited (“PSI”), a company controlled by director Karl Hick, in connection with the funding of the manufacture and supply of the first Black Box unit, BB1. PSI is a 50% shareholder of the Company.
As at 31 March 2025, the amounts recorded as owing to PSI totaled £3,372,121.48, comprising £3,144,500.10 of principal and £227,621.38 of accrued interest.
Subsequent to the year end, PSI made disputed demands and assertions concerning amounts advanced to the Company and alleged breaches. Those matters are disputed by the Company.
Related legal proceedings are ongoing concerning these and other related matters. The relevant matters remain disputed. The outcome of that process is uncertain as at the date these financial statements were approved, and it is therefore not possible to quantify any resulting financial effect. No adjustment has been made in these financial statements in respect of those disputed matters.
The content of this note has been approved by a majority of the directors of the Company.
