Simian Global Plc 
 
("Simian Global" or the "Company") 
 
Simian Global, the special purpose acquisition company incorporated in the 
United Kingdom and established to undertake the acquisition of a company or a 
business in the technology, media and telecommunications sector, is pleased to 
announce its final results for the period ended 31 December 2017. 
 
Chairman's Statement 
 
The Company successfully completed a placing of 5,130,000 shares at GBP0.15 per 
share, and its shares were admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange 
Main Market - Standard Segment ("Main Market") on 10 January 2017. The Company 
raised GBP769,500 before expenses. 
 
The Company identified a potential target business to acquire, and due 
diligence on the target commenced in February 2017. 
 
The loss for the period was GBP277,000 [2016 : loss of GBP101,000], which was 
primarily as a result of the due diligence costs relating to the acquisition. 
 
Cash in hand was GBP264,000 at the year end [2016 : GBP60,000]. 
 
Outlook 
 
The Company is progressing the acquisition and hopes that this will conclude in 
the near term, at which point the newly enlarged Company's shares will resume 
trading on the Main Market. 
 
Principal activity and fair review of the business 
 
The company was incorporated on 26 February 2016. 
 
The Company has been formed for the purpose of acquiring a company or business. 
The Company has identified a target acquisition and the Company expects that 
any funds not used in connection with the Acquisition will be used for future 
acquisitions, internal or external growth and expansion, and working capital in 
relation to the acquired company or business. 
 
The Company is currently undertaking an acquisition that, if successful, will 
result in a reverse takeover (the "Acquisition"). Following completion of the 
Acquisition, the objective of the Company will be to operate the acquired 
business and implement an operating strategy with a view to generating value 
for its shareholders through operational improvements as well as potentially 
through additional complementary acquisitions following the acquisition. 
 
The trading results for the period ended 31 December 2017, and the financial 
position at the end of the period are shown in the audited financial 
statements. The profit and loss account for the period shows a loss before tax 
of GBP277,000. 
 
Key Performance indicators 
 
There are no key performance indicators for this period as the company has not 
completed its investment activity. 
 
Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
 i. Business Strategy 
 
The company is a newly formed entity with no operating history and has not yet 
completed an acquisition. 
 
The company may acquire either less than whole voting control of, or less than 
a controlling equity interest in, a target, which may limit its operational 
strategies. 
 
The company may be unable to complete the Acquisition in a timely manner or at 
all or to fund the operations of the target business if it does not obtain 
additional funding following completion of the acquisition. 
 
 i. Liquidity Risk 
 
The Directors have reviewed the working capital requirements and believe that 
there is sufficient working capital to fund the business. 
 
Finance 
 
The Company continues with the Acquisition and has sufficient funds in hand to 
conclude the transaction. The Company is seeking to raise further finance at 
the time of completion to provide adequate funds to grow the target business 
post acquisition 
 
. 
 
Future developments and acquisition strategy 
 
The Company has a target acquisition under contemplation. The Company's efforts 
in identifying a prospective target company or business will not be limited to 
a particular industry or geographic region, but the Directors intend to focus 
on the technology, media and telecommunications sectors primarily in Europe and 
Asia, but will also consider investments in other geographical regions, given 
their experience in these areas. The Directors believe that these sectors offer 
good growth opportunities currently, and there are various opportunities within 
these sectors that can enhance shareholder value in the long run. The Directors 
intend to focus on specific areas within these sectors that have a new 
technology and/or internet aspect to the business, which might differentiate 
the business and offer above average growth prospects. 
 
Going Concern 
 
The day to day working capital requirements and investment objectives are met 
by existing cash resources and the issue of equity. At 31 December 2017 the 
company had a cash balance of GBP264,000. The company's forecasts and 
projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in the level of 
overhead costs, show that the company should be able to operate within its 
available cash resources. The directors have, at the time of approving the 
financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate 
resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. They therefore 
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the 
financial statements.
