The Company will, however, be required to obtain the approval of the Board before it may complete the Acquisition;
· the Board intends to comply, in all material respects, with certain Main Principles of the UK Corporate Governance Code (as set out in more detail in "Part II - The Company, its Board and the Acquisition Structure") and has adopted a share dealing code that complies with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulations.

· following the Acquisition, the Directors may seek to transfer the Company from a Standard Listing to either a Premium Listing or other appropriate listing venue, based on the track record of the company or business it acquires, subject to fulfilling the relevant eligibility criteria at the time. If the Company is successful in obtaining a Premium Listing, further rules will apply to the Company under the Listing Rules and Disclosure and Transparency Rules and the Company will be obliged to comply with or explain any derogation from the UK Corporate Governance Code. In addition to, or in lieu of, a Premium Listing, the Company may determine to seek a listing on another stock exchange or seek re-admission to a Standard Listing.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 APRIL 2021 TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 28 January 2016 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law.
The Company's Ordinary shares are currently admitted to a standard listing on the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange.
The Company's nature of operations is to act as a special purpose acquisition company.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The interim condensed unaudited financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The results for the period ended 30 September 2021 are unaudited.
The condensed unaudited financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2021 has been prepared on a basis consistent with, and on the basis of, the accounting policies set out in the financial information on the Company set out in the Company's Prospectus for admission to the Standard Listing segment of the Official List and in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The financial information of the Company is presented in British Pound Sterling ("£").
Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied
At the date of authorisation of this financial information, the directors have reviewed the Standards in issue by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and IFRIC, which are effective for annual accounting periods ending on or after the stated effective date. In their view, none of these standards would have a material impact on the financial reporting of the company.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers any cash on short-term deposits and other short term investments to be cash equivalents.
Taxation
The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided for using the liability method on temporary timing differences at the balance sheet date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised in full for all temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences carried forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is assessed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered.
Going concern
Until such time as the Company makes a significant investment it will meet its day to day working capital requirements from its existing cash reserves and by raising new equity finance.
In the six-month period ended 30 September 2021 the Company recorded a loss after tax of £401,714 (2020: £180,598) and a net cash outflow from operating activities of £161,869 (2020: £125,473). The Company raised an additional £66,109 of new funds from the issue of a new convertible loan note with loan note holders.
The Company had cash of £466,444 at 30 September 2021. Although the level of cash outgoings prior to making an investment is expected to be modest, the cash flow forecasts indicate that the Company needs to raise additional funds in the coming months.
Although the directors believe that the Company will be successful in raising the funds required there can be no guarantee of success of that fundraising.
Based on their assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources, supplemented by the additional funds to be raised, to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
The requirement to raise additional funds constitutes a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
If the Company was unable to secure sufficient funding to enable it to continue on a going concern basis then adjustments would be necessary to write down assets to their recoverable amounts and provide for additional liabilities.
Operating segments
The directors are of the opinion that the business of the Company comprises a single activity, that of an investment company. Consequently, all activities relate to this segment.
3. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The Company is regarded as resident for the tax purposes in British Virgin Islands.
No tax is applicable to the Company for the period ended 30 September 2021. No deferred income tax asset has been recognised in respect of the losses carried forward, due to the uncertainty as to whether the Company will generate sufficient future profits in the foreseeable future to prudently justify this.
