MARWYN ACQUISITION COMPANY PLC
Unaudited Interim
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the six months ended 31 December 2021
MANAGEMENT REPORT
I present to shareholders the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Marwyn Acquisition Company plc (the "Company") for the six months ended 31 December 2021 (the "Consolidated Interim Financial Statements"), consolidating the results of the Company and WHJ Limited, (collectively, the "Group" or "MAC").
Strategy
Marwyn Acquisition Company plc is listed on AIM on the London Stock Exchange and was established to provide shareholders with attractive total returns achieved through capital appreciation. The Directors believe that opportunities exist to create significant value for shareholders through properly executed, acquisition-led growth strategies, in the industrials, manufacturing, engineering, construction, building products or support services sectors. The investment policy is included in full on the Company's website at www.marwynacplc.com .
Results
The Group's loss after taxation for the six months to 31 December 2021 was GBP183,000 (six months to 31 December 2020: loss of GBP515,000). The Group held a cash balance at the period end of GBP4,995,000 (as at 30 June 2021: GBP5,222,000).
Dividend Policy
The Company has not yet acquired a trading operation and it is therefore inappropriate to make a forecast of the likelihood of any future dividends. The Directors intend to determine the Company's dividend policy following completion of a platform acquisition and, in any event, will only commence the payment of dividends when it becomes commercially prudent to do so.
Corporate Governance
In line with the London Stock Exchange's AIM Rules for Companies requiring all AIM-quoted companies to adopt a recognised corporate governance code, explain how the company complies with that code's requirements and identify and explain areas of non-compliance, the Board has adopted the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code. There have been no significant changes to the Corporate Governance Report presented in the Group's Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021, which is available on the Company's website. Additional information in respect of the Company's compliance with the QCA Code can also be found on the Company's website.
The Company intends to re-evaluate its corporate governance code framework upon the earlier of the completion of a platform acquisition, or on appointment of an executive management team.
Risks
The Directors have carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Group including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity. There have been no significant changes to the principal risks described on in the Group's Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Directors are of the opinion that the risks detailed therein are applicable to the six-month period to 31 December 2021, as well as the remaining six months of the current financial year.
Outlook
The Directors believe that the Company is well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities in the current market environment, particularly where the Company's structure and listed status is likely to prove attractive in securing a leading executive management team to pursue buy and build strategies, a number of which have been identified and continue to be progressed.
Each of the Directors confirms that, to the best of their knowledge:
(a) these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of MAC; and
(b) these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements comply with the requirements of Rule 18 of the AIM Rules for Companies and Article 106 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
Neither the Company nor the Directors accept any liability to any person in relation to the interim financial report except to the extent that such liability could arise under applicable law.
Details on the Company's Board of Directors can be found on the Company website at www.marwynacplc.com .

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Marwyn Acquisition Company Plc ("Marwyn", or the "Company"), an "investing company" for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules"), is incorporated in Jersey (company number 123424) and domiciled in the United Kingdom. It is a public limited company with registered office at 47 Esplanade, St Helier, Jersey, JE1 0BD and a UK Establishment (BR019423) address of 11 Buckingham Street, London, WC2N 6DF. The Company is the parent of a wholly owned subsidiary (together with the Company, collectively the "Group"), as detailed in Note 9.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and are presented on a condensed basis. The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Article 105 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (GBP000) except where otherwise indicated.
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021, which is available on the Company's website, www.marwynacplc.com .
(b) Going concern
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due within the next twelve months from the date of approval.
(c) New standards and amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards
Standards, amendments and interpretation effective and adopted by the Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union, updated to adopt those standards which became effective for periods starting on or before 1 January 2020. None of the new standards have had a material impact on the Group.
Standards issued but not yet effective
The following standards are issued but not yet effective. The Group intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective. It is not expected that these standards will have a material impact on the Group.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements under IFRS requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant estimates and judgements
For the period ended 31 December 2021 and at the period end, the Directors do not consider that they have made any significant estimates or judgements which would materially affect the balances and results reported in these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Board of Directors is the Group's chief operating decision-maker. As the Group has not yet acquired a trading business, the Board of Directors considers the Group as a whole for the purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources, and therefore the Group has one reportable operating segment.
5. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
The Group does not have any employees. During the six months ended 31 December 2021, and six months ended 31 December 2020, the Company had two directors: James Corsellis and Mark Brangstrup Watts.
The following table details the aggregate compensation paid to the directors over the period.

The Group is tax resident in the UK. As at 31 December 2021, cumulative tax losses available to carry forward against future trading profits were GBP25,988,000 (2020: GBP25,622,000) subject to agreement with HM Revenue & Customs. Prior to a Platform Acquisition, there is no certainty as to future profits and no deferred tax asset is recognised in relation to these carried forward losses.
8. LOSS PER ORDINARY SHARE
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of a company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The weighted average number of shares has not been adjusted in calculating diluted EPS as there are no instruments which have a current dilutive effect.
Refer to Note 17 (Share based payments) of the Group's Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 for instruments that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.

============= =========
The fair value and book value of the financial assets and liabilities are materially equivalent.
The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities.
Treasury activities are managed on a Group basis under policies and procedures approved and monitored by the Board. These are designed to reduce the financial risks faced by the Group which primarily relate to movements in interest rates.
As the Group's assets are predominantly cash and cash equivalents, market risk and liquidity risk are not currently considered to be material risks to the Group.
15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
