CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Introduction

I am pleased to present the unaudited interim results for the period ended 31 December 2017.

Blockchain floated on to the standard listing of the official list on the London Stock Exchange on 21 September 2017, with the name Stapleton Capital plc. The Company was created to acquire a company or business in the telecoms sector.

During this interim period, Blockchain recorded a loss of GBP7,501, being the minimal running costs of the company. As the directors draw no salary, the ongoing costs are only minor administrative expenses. Cash assets at period end were nearly GBP1.45 million with no debts.

During the period, the Directors identified a number of blockchain technology investment opportunities. Blockchain is a digital networked database system of ledgers that can record almost any type of data or transaction. Currently blockchain's mainstream use is as the basis for digital currency, however it has applications across multiple other industries. It is within these industries that the Directors believe the technology has the potential to cause major disruption and that they will focus the Company's resources. As a result, the Board has decided to change the Company's investment remit to consider acquisitions within the blockchain technology industry. To reflect this, the name of the Company was changed to Blockchain Worldwide plc on 19 January 2018.

Outlook

We continue to make good progress towards a potentially game changing deal within the blockchain space and will update the market as soon as we are able.
