CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present to shareholders the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Summerway Capital Plc for the twelve months ended 31 August 2021.
As announced on 29 November 2021, Summerway extended its current financial year end to 31 December 2021 in order to align its accounting period end with that of its proposed acquisition, Vertigrow Technology Ltd ("Vertigrow"), a UK based pharmaceutical company specialising in the researching, growing and supply of medicinal cannabis.
The unaudited, second interim results incorporate results for the unaudited twelve month period to 31 August 2021 and are set out below. All comparisons are against Summerway's audited results for the year ended 31 August 2020.
The Company's audited results for the 16-month period ending 31 December 2021 will be published no later than 30 April 2022.
Strategy
On 20 October 2021 and post period end, the Company amended its investing policy and is now focused on investment and acquisition opportunities across the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, particularly in new and emerging therapeutic areas.
The Directors believe there are numerous opportunities to invest in, or acquire businesses that can be organically or acquisitively grown to become leading healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, and the Company continues to progress its previously announced proposed acquisition of Vertigrow.
As part of the change in strategy, we were delighted to welcome Elizabeth ("Liz") Shanahan to the Board of Summerway as an Independent Non-Executive Director. Liz is a life sciences entrepreneur with extensive experience advising leading global pharmaceutical and healthcare organisations, and her skill set will be a valuable addition to the Board as we execute the Company's new growth strategy.
Results in the Period
The Group's loss after taxation for the twelve months to 31 August 2021 was GBP473,007 (2020: GBP174,511), reflecting operating expenses of GBP276,957 (2020: GBP186,552), share based payment expense of GBP105,749 (2020: Nil), one-off costs relating to the January 2021 placing of shares and change in investment strategy of GBP92,159 (2020: Nil) and finance income of GBP1,858 (2020: GBP12,041). As at 31 August 2021, Summerway held GBP6.805 million cash (31 August 2020: GBP5.488 million).
Developments post Period End
On 21 September 2021, the Company announced its proposed change in strategic focus to that of the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, where the Board considered there to be attractive options for the Company's existing Shareholders, many of which invested at the Company's original AIM Admission. At the same time, the Company noted it was in discussions with an immediate opportunity within these alternative sectors, and as the acquisition would be classified a reverse takeover transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules, its shares would be suspended, which continues to be the case.
In conjunction with the change in strategy, a number of directorate changes occurred, including the resignations of Vin Murria OBE as Chairman of the Company, and Paul Gibson and Tony Morris as Non-Executive Directors, as well as the appointment of Liz Shanahan as a Non-Executive Director, with Benjamin Shaw assuming the role of Interim Chairman of the Company.
On 20 October 2021, Shareholders approved the Company's proposed change in investing policy, and on the 28 October 2021, the Company announced the proposed acquisition of Vertigrow for GBP80 million consideration and a proposed GBP7 million placing. Concurrently, the Company also made available to Vertigrow a loan of up to GBP4.25 million in order to accelerate Vertigrow's capital expenditure in its Midlands based facility ahead of completion of the proposed acquisition. As at 29 November 2021, GBP2.125 million is drawn under the facility.
Outlook
As a Board, we remain excited about the opportunity for securing the Group's inaugural transaction, and in doing so, establish a position within the substantial and rapidly growing pharmaceutical medical cannabis sector. We look forward to updating Shareholders in due course as the Company's proposed acquisition with Vertigrow progresses towards completion.

The Company directly owns the ordinary share capital of its subsidiary undertakings as set out below:
The issued share capital of the subsidiary comprises 1 A ordinary share of GBP0.01 and 1,450,000 B ordinary shares of GBP0.01.

Limited vehicle and Wales 100% 0%
As the Company's total investment holding in the subsidiary is GBP0.01, no investment value is presented in the statement of financial position.
The address of the registered office of Summerway Subco Limited (the "Subsidiary") is 32-33 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6DF. The subsidiary was incorporated on 12 September 2018 and so prepares its own financial statements for the period ended 30 September each year. The subsidiary was dormant throughout the year to 30 September 2021 and it is therefore exempt from audit by virtue of s479A of Companies Act 2006.
The A ordinary shares have full voting rights, full rights to participate in a dividend and full rights to participate in a distribution of capital.
The B ordinary shares do not have voting rights. No dividends shall be declared in relation to any of the B ordinary shares without the consent of the Parent company. The B ordinary shares are not to be redeemed and are not liable to be redeemed.
Further details of the Subsidiary Incentive Scheme can be found on pages 42 and 43 of the Company's Placing and Admission document published on 16 October 2018, pages 6 and 7 of the Company's Circular issued to Shareholders on 23 December 2020, in Note 12 of the Company's Interim Report for the six months ended 28 February 2021, and in Notes 12 and 14.

Incentive shares 20,300 12,000

The incentive shares liability is estimated at fair value through profit and loss using level 3 fair value measurement techniques.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which the inputs to the measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
-- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The B shares issued by the subsidiary under the incentive scheme were deemed to have an implied aggregate subscription price of GBP20,300, based on the nominal value per B share plus a premium. The initial subscription price of the incentive shares remains the best estimate of the fair value of the liability associated with the incentive shares as none of the criteria for potential value creation have been met as at 31 August 2021. The fair value of the liability is assessed at each reporting date with any changes accounted for as a fair value gain or loss and recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income.
11. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
On 15 January 2021, the Company granted Vin Murria a warrant providing for a right to subscribe for an additional 3,246,062 new ordinary shares at 88 pence per share. The warrant instrument was exercisable at any time from grant date up to and including the eighteen-month anniversary of grant date. As at 31 August 2021, all of the 3,246,062 warrants remained outstanding, and the share-based payments expense for the period to 31 August 2021 was GBP105,749.
The fair value of the outstanding warrants has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Volatility has been estimated at 19.75 per cent. using the arithmetical mean of both the 1 year AIM All Share volatility index and the 3 year AIM All Share volatility index as at 31 March 2021. Additional assumptions used in the calculation of fair value are outlined as follows:
31 August

Net asset value per share at

Exercise price GBP0.88
Expected volatility 19.75%
Dividend yield 0%

12. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

At the same time, the Company issued Vin Murria with 3,246,062 warrants which provided for a right to subscribe for an addition 3,246,062 additional new ordinary shares of the Company at an exercise price of 88 pence per share.
