INTERIM REPORT AND UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2020

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholder,

I present the Chairman's report for the financial period ending 30 June 2020, where the Company reported a net loss of GBP65,286 (2.45p per share) and as at 30 June 2020 had liquid cash balances of GBP779,709. The loss for the period was predominately incurred as a result of normal operating costs associated with maintaining the Company's Standard Listing.

Costs continue to be prudently monitored but have increased in comparison to the previous financial period. The increase from the previous period was due to additional professional, regulatory and insurance costs.

On 10 January 2020 Charles Cannon Brookes resigned from the Board and was replaced by Ross Ainger. Ross has co-managed Initial Public Offering (IPO) and Reverse Takeover (RTO) transactions on the London markets including the Company's IPO and will play a key role in managing any acquisition made by the Company.

The Board continues to evaluate potential transactions in this challenging economic climate and will update shareholders at the appropriate time. Myself and the Board continue to be very appreciative of your patience.

Malcolm Burne

Chairman

Date: 23 July 2020
