Chairman's Statement
On behalf of the Board, I present the annual report and financial statements of BSF Enterprise Plc for the year ended 30
September 2025. This year has been one of significant transformation, driven by operational achievements, strategic
fundraising, and progress across our core subsidiaries.
1. Strategic Achievements and Key Milestones
We made substantial progress in 3D Bio-Tissues Limited (3DBT), Lab-Grown Leather Limited (LGL), Kerato Limited
(Kerato) , and BSF Enterprise (Hong Kong) Limited (BSF HK) - advancing our mission to commercialise sustainable, tissue-
engineered products.
● 3DBT: We launched CytoBoost™ a bioactive media additive targeting the biopharma downstream process, alongside
the commercial expansion of CityMixⓇ
to support cost-effective production of cultivated meat.
● LGL: Our development in 2024 of the world's first 2mm-thick scaffold-free skin/leather marked a major technical
breakthrough. Collaborations with luxury fashion brands are underway, and we are moving towards commercial
production of our first product based upon T-Rex derived DNA.
● Kerato: We have secured a key licensing agreement with the University of Montreal for liquid cornea technology, a
major step towards in-situ corneal repair. Veterinary clinical trials in 2026 and human clinical trials in 2027 are on the
roadmap.
● BSF Enterprise (Hong Kong): We expanded our reach in Greater China, laying the foundation for local production of
cultivated meat. Our efforts will increase BSF's access to the rapidly growing demand for sustainable protein in Asia.
2. Financial Performance and Fundraising
Strategic fundraising has been essential to our growth. In December 2025, we gained shareholder approval for a £15 million
via the placement of warrants exercisable at 2p over 12 months. This funding (once a prospectus is published), combined with
our existing funds and grants, provides valuable support to our strategic objectives and strengthens our ability to seize market
opportunities.
The funds will support:
● Progress towards the commercialisation of CytoBoost™ and City-mixⓇ
(3DBT)
● Production of lab-grown leather beach head product (T Rex leather) and securing outward investment into a spin-out
of LGL
● Completion of veterinary trials and clinical preparation alongside securing investment into a spin-out of Kerato
● Market expansion in Greater China (BSF Hong Kong)
● Acquisition of compatible businesses if appropriate opportunities are identified
A successful placement reinforces market confidence in our business model, enabling us to meet critical our goals for 2026.
3. Sustainability and ESG Commitments
Our work in cultivated meat, lab-grown leather, and corneal tissue engineering reflects a broader commitment to
sustainability. Our approach aligns with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), ensuring that we
integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into our operations.
Lab-grown leather supports the shift away from traditional animal farming, while our work in cultivated meat offers a
sustainable alternative to conventional protein. Our in-situ cornea implants aim to reduce reliance on human donors,
supporting more ethical and accessible healthcare solutions.
4. Looking Ahead to 2026
2026 will be an important year for BSF. Our key priorities include:
● Progress towards commercialising CytoBoost™ for the biopharma sector and City-mix Ⓡ
for cultivated meat
companies.
● Developing plans to scale up lab-grown leather production at the pilot production facility.
● Producing the world's first T-Rex leather for sale
● Completing veterinary clinical trials for corneal implants, advancing toward human clinical trials in 2027.
● Expanding production in Greater China for cultivated meat.
● Identifying opportunities for the acquisition of company/ies with technical and commercial alignment
These will position BSF for long-term growth as a market leader in cultivated meat consumables, lab-grown leather, and
regenerative medicine.
This year has been one of transformation and momentum. With a clear strategy, we are well-positioned to execute our goals in
2026. We do not anticipate the need to raise additional funds during the year and our renewed focus on commercialisation,
partnerships, and sustainability will continue to drive our long-term value creation strategy.
I would like to thank our shareholders, partners, and employees for their continued support. Together, we are leading the
charge towards a more sustainable, ethical, and innovative future.
I look forward to reporting to you on our progress over the coming year.

Chief Executive's Report
I am pleased to present my report for the Company for the year to 30 September 2025.
Business review and future developments
Financial summary
The net loss for the year ended 30 September 2025 was £1,013,527 (2024: £1,672,291 loss). The decrease in the loss
compared with 2024 reflects careful cost control in developing the activities of our subsidiaries, particularly staff costs and our
research commitments as well as an increase in grant income. As a result, the loss per share decreased to 0.91 pence (2024:
1.62 pence loss per share).
The Group had cash of £149,020 at 30 September 2025 (2024: £637,656) and approximately £292,000 as of the date of
this report.
Over the last year, within BSF significant progress has been made towards its strategic objectives. This includes:
Expansion of subsidiaries
BSF has continued to expand its subsidiaries in order to commercialise its platform for industrial tissue engineering
technology and know-how into different markets. Wholly owned subsidiaries continue to include Kerato Ltd, Lab-grown
Leather Ltd, Cultivated Meat Technologies Ltd, 3D Bio-Tissues Ltd and BSF Enterprise (Hong Kong) Ltd.
3DBT launched its CytoBoost™ media additive range. Similar to City-mix Ⓡ
, CytoBoost™ is based upon our IP and
knowhow in the use of macromolecular crowders in cell culture and is designed to facilitate cell culture processes and the
implementation of animal free media for the biopharma industry. Using the same technology as City-mixⓇ
, CytoBoost™ can
be used for different applications at higher price points. Via an active "research with us" program, initial data has produced
reliable and repeatable positive use cases and highlighted the novel use of one formulation in the restoration of cell function
following cryo-storage, resulting in the development of new product CytoBoost™ REVIVE.
Kerato, led by Sarah Greenhalgh as Managing Director, has continued to invest in its in-house and IP-protected corneal tissue
engineering know-how with new IP on a liquid cornea via an in-licensing opportunity from the University of Montreal. This
allows us to expand upon our existing lab-grown corneal tissues technology and enables the tissues to grow inside the patients'
ocular surface (in-situ tissue engineering). This will be achieved initially via a joint collaborative grant with the Canadian
regional government of Quebec, splitting the costs approximately in half. The veterinary clinical data to be obtained from this
will enable us to bring this technology to market, firstly as a veterinary product at end of 2026 and then towards a human
product via clinical trials to start in 2027. Exclusive clinical data will strengthen the position of the company towards spinning
out.
Kerato has already made significant operational strides in 2025, including progressing with a ISO-13485 quality management
system necessary for the supply of medical devices. Its Biosynthetic product can provide an injectable, biosynthetic cornea
designed as a single-use, self-sealing gel that mimics the performance of traditional donor grafts. By facilitating tissue
remodelling, suppressing inflammation, and enhancing re-epithelization, the next-generation device offers a transformative
alternative to corneal transplants.
Chief Executive's Report (continued)
Lab-Grown Leather continued to accelerate commercialisation efforts. It is developing three core product lines based upon its
Elemental Leather platform, namely, Elemental Lux™, Elemental+™ and Elemental X™ the latter including the world's first
synthetically generated T-Rex DNA, each utilizes a proprietary "scaffold-free" tissue engineering technology. Elemental+™
achieved a key milestone, maintaining comparable strength at a thickness of just>0.04mm. In addition, following the
Company's announcement of Elemental X™ and the T-Rex leather collaboration with VML and The Organoid Company, Lab-
Grown Leather entered into commercial conversations and agreement with an ultra-luxury brand, three leading fashion, sports
and accessories brands regarding the production of the world's first T-Rex leather product.

Chief Executive's Report (continued)
Partnership updates
A strategic partnership with VML and The Organoid Company (TOC), was negotiated and a joint agreement to initiate this
collaboration by way of a Memorandum of Understanding was agreed in May 2025. By working together, VML, TOC and
Lab-Grown Leather (LGL) aim to generate novel T-Rex derived DNA and use this to generate T-Rex leatherTM
, which will be
used to create unique fashion items (in collaboration with an ultra-high fashion designer - agreement in place but subject to an
embargo) new technologies and methodologies that could significantly impact the scalability and cost effectiveness of lab-
grown leather and alternative protein products. As part of the partnership, VML will support LGL with branding and
marketing of the T-Rex leather products, initially towards a showcase event to be held in the first half of 2026.
We have added a further leading luxury fashion brand to our LGL development pipeline, whilst maintaining an ongoing
commitment from our initial collaborative fashion houses. These partnerships are resulting in significant improvements to our
skin and leather development and the production of a minimal viable product.
Further acquisition opportunities
The Board continues to evaluate potential acquisition and spin-out opportunities in line with its strategy to acquire or develop
a suite of technologies that underpins the development and commercialisation of industrial tissue engineering by either
enhancing the existing technologies' value with support from downstream or upstream processes or bringing new revenue
generating technologies to bear.
Outlook
The year has seen significant milestones achieved, with the continued growth of commercial opportunities and new sales
channels for 3DBT, the raising of new capital to support the Group's growth strategy.
Our strategy is to develop BSF into an ecosystem of industry-leading tissue engineering companies that can bring
transformative products to market. With the product development success in LGL and collaborative grant funded veterinary
clinical studies for Kerato, we are making great strides toward our strategic goals. The ability to raise sufficient funds and
continue with operational and commercial progress has come in a period of increasing uncertainty from the difficult macro-
economic environment, inflation and cost pressures and, as a young business, is testament to the Group for continuing to
generate opportunities for bringing our products to market.
I look forward with confidence and to keeping you appraised of our progress throughout the year.
Che Connon, Chief Executive Officer
Strategic Report
Strategy
The fiscal period spanning October 2024 through September 2025 represents a transformative period for BSF Enterprise
PLC, characterised by an aggressive transition from a research-centric organization to a commercially oriented leader in
tissue-engineered materials. The following provides a detailed synthesis of the commercial and strategic milestones achieved
by the Group and its core subsidiaries-3D Bio-Tissues Limited (3DBT), Lab-Grown Leather Limited (LGL), and Kerato
Limited-during a year that saw the organisation successfully navigate the complexities of global biotechnology scaling,
industrial partnerships, and high-impact branding.
Strategic Context and Corporate Evolution
At the outset of the fourth quarter of 2024, the Group moved to finalise its five-faceted growth-ready restructuring, a move
designed to segment its research, development, and commercial operations into distinct, agile subsidiaries. This structural
evolution was necessitated by the distinct regulatory and commercial pathways required by its various product streams,
ranging from food-grade additives and luxury materials to class III medical devices. The parent company, BSF Enterprise
PLC, effectively assumed the role of a strategic holding entity, providing capital allocation, centralised corporate governance,
and high-level business development support to its burgeoning portfolio.
The underlying technological advantage that unifies the Group's subsidiaries is the proprietary Advanced Tissue Engineering
Platform (ATEPTM
), which utilises scaffold-free methodologies and macromolecular crowding to produce functional,
structured tissues. Unlike first-generation tissue engineering, which often relies on synthetic polymer scaffolds that can
interfere with natural tissue structure, the Group's approach enables cells to synthesize their own extracellular matrix (ECM),
resulting in materials that are genetically and structurally indistinguishable from their natural counterparts.

Chronological Progress: Quarter 1 (October 2024 - December 2024)
The initial quarter of the fiscal year was defined by the prioritisation of high-value, near-term revenue streams and the
strengthening of the Group's cash position to support industrial scaling. Analysts noted that this move positioned BSF at the
forefront of a biotech space that was rapidly pivoting toward commercial viability rather than purely theoretical research.
During November 2024, the management team executed a critical strategic pivot. Recognising the capital-intensive nature of
simultaneous clinical and industrial launches, BSF Enterprise decided to pause its proposed joint venture for Cultured Meat
Technologies (CMT). The decision was rooted in a commitment to redirect necessary funds toward Lab-Grown Leather Ltd,
which was showing significant traction with major global luxury brands and presented a shorter path to revenue generation.
This followed the technical debut of the world's first 2mm-thick scaffold-free leather in May 2024, a breakthrough that
demonstrated the ability of ATEPTM
to produce materials suitable for traditional craft and heavy-duty luxury applications
without the need for synthetic additives.
December 2024 served as a pivotal month for capital formation. The Group successfully completed an oversubscribed
fundraising of £500,000 through the placement of 20,000,000 new ordinary shares. The participation of management, who
subscribed for 15% of the total raise, underscored a strong internal alignment with the Group's 2025 growth objectives. These
funds were specifically allocated to support the commercialization of the CytoBoostTM
product line at 3DBT and to advance
the planning for the LGL pilot production plant.
Simultaneously, 3D Bio-Tissues secured a £50,000 Northern Accelerator Growth Support Grant in December 2024. This
grant, funded by the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund, provided the non-dilutive capital necessary to engage external
resources for market research and the creation of a technology roadmap. This roadmap was instrumental in identifying high-
growth opportunities within the jewellery, automobile and sportswear sectors, moving LGL closer to establishing a
scalable, small-scale manufacturing presence.
Chronological Progress: Quarter 2
The second quarter focused on industrial validation and the formalisation of global partnerships and a clear strategy for the
upcoming year. The most significant announcement of the period was the signing of a strategic Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Sartorius, a global leader in bioprocessing technologies. This collaboration aimed to integrate
3DBT's macromolecular crowders with Sartorius's advanced cell culture platforms, specifically targeting cost-effective and
sustainable biotech solutions for the biopharma downstream process.
February and March 2025 were characterised by regulatory and governance milestones. The Group received approval for its
Prospectus from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which enabled the issuance of up to 28,926,352 new ordinary shares
to support ongoing growth initiatives. This was followed by the successful completion of the Annual General Meeting (AGM)
on 5 March, where shareholders approved all proposed resolutions, including those related to capital headroom.
Commercialisation activities at LGL accelerated in March 2025. Leveraging the Northern Accelerator grant, 3DBT and LGL
began developing a full business case to position LGL as a stand-alone entity. This strategic move was designed to highlight
the intrinsic value of the leather technology to potential investors and partners while minimizing dilution for BSF Enterprise
PLC shareholders. Dr. Che Connon, CEO of BSF, noted that these collaborations were the culmination of months of dialogue
and were critical for the upcoming launch of commercial-scale manufacturing.
Chronological Progress: Quarter 3 (April 2025 - June 2025)
April 2025 proved to be a landmark month for the Group's public profile and innovative pipeline. Lab-Grown Leather Ltd
announced a high-profile partnership with VML and The Organoid Company to develop a next-generation material inspired
by the DNA of a Tyrannosaurus rex. This project, part of the Elemental XTM
product stream, utilised synthetic DNA
sequences derived from fossilised collagen to produce a cruelty-free, bio-engineered leather that replicated the structure and
durability of traditional materials. The global media reach of this announcement exceeded 500 million people, significantly
elevating the LGL brand and leading to direct commercial inquiries from some of the world's most valuable luxury fashion
brands.
To capitalise on this momentum, the Group completed a strategic investment round in April 2025, raising £141,750 through a
placement of 4,725,000 ordinary shares at 3 pence per share. This raise, again supported by management and the Group's
largest shareholder, provided the necessary working capital to advance the Elemental XTM
project and maintain the pace of
technical development.
In May 2025, technical breakthroughs continued within the leather division. LGL announced the development of
Elemental+TM
, an ultra-thin leather alternative measuring less than 0.04mm in thickness while maintaining high structural
integrity. This achievement opened strategic opportunities in weight-sensitive markets, such as the interiors of electric vehicles
and high-performance sportswear, where traditional leather is often too bulky or heavy.
Chronological Progress: Quarter 4 (July 2025 - September 2025)
The final quarter of the fiscal year saw a renewed focus on the regenerative medicine portfolio and a transition in corporate
leadership. On July 10, 2025, Kerato Limited signed an exclusive worldwide cooperation agreement with the Université de
Montréal for the intellectual property supporting LiQD CorneaTM
. This technology, a novel biosynthetic dropwise treatment
for corneal repair, mimics the performance of donor grafts while facilitating tissue remodelling and suppressing inflammation.
The agreement set the stage for veterinary trials and the implementation of an ISO-13485 quality management system,
essential for the future supply of medical devices.
August 2025 brought a significant shift in the Board's composition. Min Yang resigned as Chairman and Director on August
28, 2025. The Board expressed its gratitude for her contributions and subsequently appointed Geoff Baker as Chairman. This
leadership change was viewed as a strategic alignment for the next phase of the Company's growth, which would require
extensive engagement with institutional investors and high-level corporate partners.
By September 2025, the Group had finalized its roadmap for the 2026 fiscal year, focusing on the acceleration of commercial
rollouts across all three core subsidiaries. The period ended with the Group preparing for a transformative equity fundraise of
up to £15 million, intended to support the commercialization of lab-grown leather, cultivated meat, and corneal repair
technologies through 2026.
Subsidiary Performance Analysis
3D Bio-Tissues Limited (3DBT)
3DBT remains the technological engine of the Group, focused on the application of macromolecular crowding to create
scaffold-free tissues. During the 2024-2025 period, the subsidiary expanded its product portfolio to include CytoBoost
REVIVETM
, a media additive that improves cell revival post-cryostorage by up to 100%. This product directly addresses the
multi-million-dollar cryopreservation market, providing 3DBT with a unique entry point into the biopharma and biomedical
research sectors.
The subsidiary also continued to scale the production of City-mixⓇ
, its flagship animal-free cell growth agent. By the end of
the period, 3DBT was in active discussions for commercial supply agreements, including with SeaWith, a South Korean
cultivated-meat innovator. This partnership highlights the global demand for 3DBT's technology to reduce the costs of their
cultivated meat production by approximately 30%.
Lab-Grown Leather Limited (LGL)
LGL emerged as the Group's most visible commercial subsidiary during 2025. The transition from lab-scale samples to pilot
plant planning was a core theme, supported by the Northern Accelerator grant and strategic partnerships with luxury brands.
The LGL product hierarchy was formalized into three distinct streams:
Product Stream Technical Characteristics Market Application
Elemental LeatherTM Premium scaffold-free material,
2mm thickness.
Traditional luxury goods,
handbags, footwear.
Elemental+TM Ultra-thin (>0.04mm), high
tensile strength.
Sportswear, electric vehicle
interiors.
Elemental XTM Engineered via synthetic biology
(e.g., T-Rex DNA).
Ultra-luxury bespoke fashion,
brand showcases.
The successful development of 2mm-thick leather was particularly noteworthy, as it solved a persistent challenge in the lab-
grown material sector: producing materials with enough "substance" for traditional artisanal leatherwork without resorting to
plastic lamination.
Kerato Limited
Kerato represents the Group's expansion into the high-margin regenerative medicine market. The 2025 fiscal year was focused
