Executive Director's Statement
Introduction
I am delighted to report the Company's first set of results since its debut on AQSE on 11 June 2021.
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of GBP1.15 million as at 31 May 2021, reflecting proceeds from the GBP1.29 million pre-IPO fundraising. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to GBP1.79 million as at 31 August 2021.
The potential benefits of psychedelic drugs have been recognised in both the UK and the US and the medical use of psychedelics is progressively emerging as an alternative candidate to conventional therapies for individuals suffering from elusive maladies like PTSD, addiction, Alzheimer's, and depression.
We see opportunities for investing in companies with the required expertise and potential to become pioneers in the market. Psychedelic assisted therapy is in its earliest days of development, particularly in the U.K. There is a new window of opportunity as the industry continues to gain more traction and credibility as a result of new scientific research and evidence. We look forward to capitalising on these promising long-term trends in this cutting-edge medical frontier.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our shareholders for their support.
Jonathan Bixby, Executive Director
Investment strategy
The Company's objective is to generate capital growth over the long term through a portfolio of businesses concentrating on fast growing biotech and life science companies that research or produce neuro-pharmaceutical drug development platforms advancing medicines based on psychedelic substances through rigorous science and clinical trials.
The Board expects to be able to substantially develop its business within 12 months from Admission. The Board is building out an R&D pipeline of companies which are discovering, developing or deploying safe and evidence-based psychedelic inspired medicines and experiential therapies that alleviate mental health problems and enhance wellbeing. Through those drug development platforms, Clarify will invest in companies which seek to prove the safety and efficacy of psychedelic-based substances as disruptive technologies and solutions for a continuum of mental illnesses and high unmet medical need.
Clarify will assemble a portfolio of compelling drug development pipeline of psychedelic inspired medicines and experiential therapies for human clinical trials under the supervision and strict adherence to the guidelines of the United Kingdom's MHRA, Canada's Health Canada and similar regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions where Clarify or its Investee Companies operate.
Market size
The Company considers that there is a sizable potential market for psychedelic products as clinical trials into psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy continue to show promising results for the treatment of the mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and addiction. According to analysts at Canaccord, the global psychedelics industry could soon be worth over US$100 billion.
Post-period Highlights
The Company raised GBP1.96 million in total before expenses via a placing and subscription at 2.5p per share at the time of flotation
The Company made its maiden equity investment of approximately US$700,000 into Beckley Psytech, a private company dedicated to addressing neurological and psychiatric disorders through the novel application of psychedelic medicines. The investment was made as part of a Series B fundraising by Beckley Psytech, which is incorporated in the UK, and gives Clarify Pharma a 0.26% interest in the business.
Outlook
As the field of psychedelic science continues to grow, the Board considers that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy will continue to gain acceptance in the medical community with numerous recent studies highlighting the contributions of psychotherapy treatments and accredited research organisations demonstrating its clinical effectiveness. In particular, the Company believes that over time, the psychedelic (and consumer perceptions thereof) will likely undergo a paradigm shift that is analogous to the change experienced by the cannabis industry, which resulted in the emergence of that global, multibillion-dollar sector. As a result, the Board looks forward to the future with great confidence.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Period 1 December 2020 to 31 May 2021
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Clarify Pharma PLC is a public limited company, registered in England and Wales. The company registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
The Company became entitled to do business and borrow on 26 March 2021.
The principal activity of the company during the period under review was that of the incubation of and investment in Companies that are developing therapeutic remedies using compounds with certain psychedelic properties.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Taxation
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Going concern
The Directors, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Company has adequate working capital to meet its obligations over the assessed period to the end of November 2022. Having raised GBP1,684,650 net of expenses on 31 May 2021 at the Company's IPO, the Directors have made an informed judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the annual financial statements. The Directors have considered the impact of Covid-19 on the Company, in the context of their operations. At this stage, the Directors do not envisage a long-term impact to the Company resulting from Covid-19, but will continue to monitor the situation
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the period.
Share based payments - Note 11
In addition to this, the company has also issued warrants and options to directors which have been valued in accordance with the Black Scholes model. Significant estimation and judgement is required by the directors when using the Black Scholes method.
4. TAXATION
Analysis of the tax charge
No liability to UK corporation tax arose for the period ended 31 May 2021 nor for the period ended 30 November 2020.
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Reconciliations are set out below.

IAS 33 requires presentation of diluted EPS when a company could be called upon to issue shares that would decrease earnings per share, or increase the loss per share. For a loss-making company with outstanding share options, the net loss per share would be decreased by the exercise of options. Therefore, as per IAS33:36, the anti-dilutive potential ordinary shares are disregarded in the calculation of diluted EPS.
