2. COMPANY PERFORMANCE & BUSINESS REVIEW

The financial year 2024-25 marked a defining milestone in the transformation of String Metaverse Limited
(formerly Bio Green Papers Limited) into a next-generation global digital infrastructure and technology enterprise.
The Company is now strategically focused on delivering integrated Web 3.0, Online Gaming, Blockchain
Technologies, and FinTech solutions that enable a decentralized, interoperable, and immersive digital future.

Pursuant to the successful implementation of the NCLT-approved Resolution Plan and Scheme of Arrangement,
String Metaverse Limited (Transferor Company) was merged into Bio Green Papers Limited (now renamed String
Metaverse Limited) with effect from 28 May 2024. This strategic merger has infused the Company with cuttng-
edge capabilities, expanded its operational scope, and redefined its strategic direction, firmly positioning it as a
cross-border Web3 and digital innovation platform.

The Company now operates through a diversified, multi-vertical structure comprising:

• Web3 Infrastructure & Validator Operations - Deployment and management of decentralized validator
node networks across leading blockchain protocols, ensuring ecosystem integrity, scalability, and
performance.

entities in key jurisdictions, including Canada and the UAE, enabling compliant asset management and
decentralized financial services.

• Immersive Technologies & Game-Fi - Development of interoperable gaming ecosystems powered by
blockchain-based economies, NFT-integrated gameplay, and immersive digital experiences.

To strengthen its global footprint, the Company has incorporated subsidiaries in strategically important locations
such as the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Canada. These entities are instrumental in advancing fintech
platforms, validator node operations, and treasury infrastructure.

During FY 2024-25 and the first quarter of FY 2025-26, the Company successfully enhanced its capital base
through fund-raising initiatives, including Preferential Allotment as part of the Resolution Plan and Scheme of
Arrangement. These capital infusions have fortified the balance sheet, provided resources for international
expansion, and accelerated product innovation.

Looking ahead, the Company remains committed to building foundational digital infrastructure and platforms that
empower enterprises and users globally. Backed by a future-ready technology roadmap, strong governance
frameworks, and a high-caliber leadership team, String Metaverse Limited is well-positioned to scale its operations
