Post-period end highlights
-- Agreement to acquire Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals for GBP8m in shares and raise GBP2m in a Placing and Subscription

2. Cell therapy product - Cell replacement product using human postnatal hemogenic endothelial cells to generate cancer-free, patient-matched blood stem cells after transplant into the patient
-- The acquisition is classified as a reverse takeover for the purpose of the Listing Rules and a General Meeting will be held on 4 October 2017
-- From 5 October the Company will trade under the new name of Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals Plc and new ticker symbol "HEMO" with an expected market capitalisation of GBP12.46m on Admission.
Interim Results - financials

Geoffrey Dart, current Chairman, commented: "We listed Silver Falcon in November 2015 with the aim of finding a value-enhancing reverse transaction. After a lengthy and extensive search, we believe we have found an exciting transaction, acquiring a company with the potential to transform blood stem cell transplant treatments, and bring relief to sufferers of several severe diseases. It has the potential, we believe, for substantial gains for new and existing shareholders."

Chairman's Statement
I hereby present the Interim Report for the six months ended 30 June 2017. During the period the Company made a loss of GBP179,871 (six months to 30 June 2016: loss of GBP174,936) which is mainly attributable to professional fees incurred on the proposed acquisition of Hemogenyx LLC as announced on 11 September 2017 and general administration expenses. As at the date of this report the Company has approximately GBP0.915m of cash balances.
Following its listing on the London Stock Exchange on 9 November 2015, the Company has evaluated and worked to complete a number of acquisition opportunities and felt it was better to wait for the right opportunity rather than complete a deal which did not fully pass muster.
We strongly believe that we have found such an opportunity and in the circumstances I am particularly pleased that post period end we have been able to announce, on 11 September 2017, that we had entered into an agreement to acquire Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals Limited for GBP8m (the "Acquisition") to be satisfied by the issue of 228,571,428 Consideration Shares at a price of 3.5p per share.
Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals Limited is the holding company for Hemogenyx LLC ("Hemogenyx"), a US based biotechnology company developing therapies to transform bone marrow and blood stem cell transplantation. These therapies will replace the need for existing methods of preparation of patients for a transplantation such as chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and will address the problem of finding a matching stem cell donor and reduce the risk of blood stem cell rejection after transplantation.
At the same time we announced the intention to raise GBP2m through the issue of 57,142,857 New Ordinary Shares in a Placing and Subscription at a price of 3.5p per share, plus 1 for 2 warrants to qualifying shareholders over 62,021,429 New Ordinary Shares at 4.0p per share.
The Directors believe this to be an exciting transaction which will give shareholders exposure to an important and growing area of treatment for what are now often killer diseases, such as leukaemia. The processes being developed by Hemogenyx, if they fulfil their promise, have we believe the potential to transform, if not revolutionise the treatment of these diseases.
Hemogenyx's founder, Dr Vladislav Sandler, has to date made impressive progress on his two products on limited financial resources, based as it is on a key discovery that Dr Sandler made regarding the survival of a class of cells into adulthood - where they were previously thought not to survive birth - and their potential ability to provide a much safer and more reliable form of treatment. With the additional resources that will be at his disposal, he will we believe be able to take the initial conditioning product to a position to start clinical trials and to make significant progress with the therapy product. Shareholders should be aware that at that stage grant and joint venture funding can be available to take products through clinical trials.
The products will when developed satisfy a large and growing need and be sold into a market that is already substantial. If successful, Hemogenyx's products will enable a much wider range of patients to be treated than is presently the case as the products should be applicable to the very many patients who are unfit for or, through the lack of suitable cell donors, unable to receive blood stem cell treatment at present.
Completion of the Acquisition, Placing and Subscription is conditional upon the Resolutions being passed at the General Meeting of the Company, to be held at the offices of Charles Russell Speechlys LLP, 5 Fleet Place, London EC4M 7RD at 10.00 a.m. on 4 October 2017. The Directors unanimously recommend the transaction and trust that shareholders will vote to approve it, as the Directors are committed to do in respect to their own beneficial holdings, representing approximately 17.5 per cent. of the existing share capital.
With all resolutions passed the Company will then trade under the new company name of Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals Plc and new ticker symbol "HEMO" and the market capitalisation of the Company is expected to be GBP12.46m on Admission.
I would like to reiterate the Board's belief that we have presented shareholders with an exciting transaction, acquiring a company with the potential to transform blood stem cell transplant treatments, and bring relief to growing numbers of sufferers of several severe diseases. The acquisition, we believe, has the potential to generate substantial gains for new and existing shareholders.
I would thank all those who have assisted in relation to this acquisition and I remain confident of a successful future for the Company.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
1. Basis of preparation
The Interim Report, which includes the interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The Interim Report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.
Cyclicality
The interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending 31 December 2017. Due to the nature of the entity, the operations are not affected by seasonal variations at this stage.
2. Financial Information
The Interim Report for the period 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 is unaudited. This report has not been reviewed by the company's auditors in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. In the opinion of the Directors the interim financial statements, included in the Interim Report, for the period presents fairly the financial position, and results from operations and cash flows for the period in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The interim financial statements incorporate unaudited comparative figures for the interim period 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016 and extracts from the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.
The Interim Report, which includes the interim financial statements, set out above does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in preparing the interim financial statements are consistent with those that have been adopted in the Company's 2016 audited financial statements. Statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2017 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.
Risks and uncertainties
The key risks that could affect the Company's short and medium term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in the Company's 2016 audited financial statements, a copy of which is available on the Company's website: http://www.silverfalconplc.com
The Company's key risk is the maintenance of its reserves of cash and cash equivalents whilst it targets an acquisition following its listing on the London Stock Exchange.
Accounting Policies
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company, the Directors do not believe there to be any material critical accounting estimates and judgements that were used in preparing these financial statements.
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures.
New and amended standards adopted by the Company:
There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year commencing 1 January 2017 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.
Going Concern
The directors have made appropriate enquiries, consider that adequate resources exist for the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that, therefore, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Interim Report for the period ended 30 June 2017.
3. Earnings per share
The calculation of the Basic and fully diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the six month period to 30 June 2017 from continuing operations of GBP179,871 (six months to 30 June 2016: GBP174,936 and 2016 year end: GBP519,898) for the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during those periods of 66,900,000, 64,900,000 and 65,173,973 respectively.
There are no potential dilutive shares in issue.
