4) Company’s Stakes and Participation in listed shares
As of December 31st, 2024, the company was owing 2’460’000 shares in The Reputation Exchange PLC (Repx).
Repx shares are listed on Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) at a formal price of 11,30 Euro per share so, with a market value of our stake of £ 21’506.444.83
Since Repx inception in 2017 till June 2022, the Repx was successfully run by two of the Company former and actual Directors, namely Alfredo Villa and Francesco De Leo, that with the help of the former, top professional, Board of Directors, were obtaining an incredible growth and approved listing on London Stock Exchange Standard for more than 40 Mio Market Cap.
Since January 2022, due to a certain number of reasons and negative events, mainly the 5.5 Mio signed but unpaid equity subscription by some individual investors and some other happenings that still needs to be investigate, as defamation letters and communications, the Company Board of Directors decided to step down to be represented in the Repx Board of Directors and management.
From February 3th, 2023, with the last Repx AGM called by the former Repx Board of Directors controlled by our Company, we, while owning the majority of Repx, we ceased to have any control on Repx and a new Repx management.
Considering that we do foresee any Repx positive development and future, because Repx has actually no direction, no products in the pipeline, no technology, no innovation, no contracts with counterparts, a heavy debt position that is not negotiated, no provisional budget and any financial instrument to have the chance to raise some money and the needed one and no Annual General Meeting was called since February 3th, 2023, when called by one of our representatives, we are not in a position to express ourself about the real Repx value.
Based on this awkward situation, the new The Tithe Value PLC will try to solve after the expected AGM, as said we do not have any reasonable information on Repx, that will allow us to give a precise value of the shares we do own in Repx.
We have then decided that, considering the lack of information on Repx value, but at the same time considering that Repx is a PLC, is a listed company and has a fully audited Financials signed off by Repx Board of Directors in August 2024, that, to establish the value of our Repx shares, we must refer to this last Repx’s formal document.
Based on that document Repx have Negative Shareholder Equity so, for that reason we are obliged to devalue our Repx shares.
We do consider also that is highly necessary as major shareholder to oblige Repx to enter a formal Company Voluntary Arrangement and hire a Corporate Insolvency Managers, to obtain protection for Repx from its Creditors and then present a full restructuring plan to be approved by creditors and stakeholders.
Based on all the above considerations, The Tithe Value PLC Board of Directors has decided to devaluate even more the Repx shares at £ 0,50 per each Repx share, so devaluating our stake in Repx by 95%.
Considering that on our June 30, 2024, Financial, Repx stake, even if already largely in the latest years, with this additional devaluation have caused to our Company a loss of £ 4’379’960 in the Company actual value from June 30, 2024.
The Board of Directors members are willing anyhow to investigate the reason for the incredible failure of Repx, that was an extremely promising company and pursue everyone that was and is responsible for such poor results.
The Tithe Value PLC, under the advice and long desire of Mr. Villa, has decided to hire a top international advisory firm to pursue this investigation and to prepare full report on happened in Repx from inception till today, to be able to report to shareholders the true of the facts on what was happening and determine if there will be someone personally liable for having undermined the company.
Also, when a long expected Repx AGM is called, the Company will express its vote and propose a Company Voluntary Agreement, the hiring of an Insolvency Practitioner and present a full restructuring plan to be presented to all Repx Shareholders.
5) Company’s Net Assets
The new Board of Directors would like to start this new course of operations in our company with a higher level of prudence. So, all the companies owned are valued at a very conservative value.
Based on the above principles of valuation and devaluation, the net Company Asset value is expected to be at 31/12/2024, equal to £ 4’502’454
6) Company’s Liabilities and Debt short and long term
Short term the company has no major debt exposure, valuated in few dozens of thousands of Pounds.
On a long-term stance, the company must reimburse Capital and Interest on a certain number of shareholder’s loan. shareholders loans.
The repayment of those loans in full is the first and primary goal of the Company.
The overall, short and long term debt position of the Company is £ 882’557.

9) Company’s 2025 Strategy and Goals
The Tithe Value PLC new directions, that will be implemented by the new Board of Directors, have some main areas of interventions:
Control, manage and grow the profitable or promising stakes
The Company’s controls the majority of Miffipay Ltd, Likex Ltd and is the larger shareholder in Beyond Engineering srl. The Company will invest all the energy, effort and the liquidity necessary to actively control, manage and bring to full potential those companies. In the 31/12/2025 Financial the company will consolidate these 3 stakes into its Financials.
Total or partial sale or dismiss, of non-controlled or difficult to control majority stakes
The company owns, but does not control, having no representative in their Board of Directors or management nor any information, two majority stakes in The Reputation Exchange Plc and in BSS- One.
For The Tithe Value PLC, due to many different reasons we do foresee that those companies could not be properly managed or controlled. While for Repx the Company will propose to the next Repx AGM a full restructuring plan, to let Repx residual value to be preserved, even if the Repx value in our Financials has being brough down by 95% and while, for Bss-One sro, the new The Tithe Value PLC Board of Directors will investigate a proper actual value, we do consider that Miffipay Ltd, operating as Repx in the payment space , has an extraordinary higher probability to succeed than Repx.
Considering also that, regarding Bss-One, is difficult for us to actively manage and control a Company based in Romania, once launched the restructuring plan for Repx and investigate the Bss-One actual situation, those two majority stakes will be put on sale.
Repay all the existing short and long term debt
Thanks to the sale of the non-strategic asset, the Company short term goal is to become completely debt free in a way to concentrate all the efforts and newly raised liquidity to the company’s growth and increase value of its shares.
Develop Group's Products and Patents
The Tithe Value, directly or indirectly through the subsidiaries have a set of 18 innovative products, partially covered by 17 Patents, graded or pending. This potential great value is not reflected into our Financials and if provided with the due liquidity and working force to produce and launch those products in the market, that will be a complete game changing in the Company potential valuation in the near term.
Closing new acquisitions
The Company is already discussing some acquisitions in different industries.
The new Board is analyse those proposals with the goal to close all of some of them during the first six months of 2025. Those acquisition will be made also using the Company shares as payment methods reducing heavily the cash need to closing them. If closed, those acquisition will bring our company to a revenue expressed in some millions of Euros with positive EBITDA for the consolidated 31/12/2025 Financials
We have made some acquisition proposal to:
- a company active in machine automation sector (IT)
- a company active in quality fast food restaurant (ES)
- a company active in luxury niche e-commerce (IT)
- a company active in discount/gift card (UK)
10) Raise New Funds
