Executive Director's Statement

Introduction

I am pleased to report the Company's first set of full year results following our debut on the Access Segment of the AQSE Growth Market on 11 June 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.

The Company made a first capital investment in Beckley Psytech, a private company dedicated to addressing neurological and psychiatric disorders through the novel application of psychedelic medicines.

There was no revenue during the period as the Company was in start-up phase. A loss before tax of £1.3m (H1 2021: £0.5m) was incurred in the year, reflecting costs related to the valuation of warrants issued, the start-up of the business as well as operational expenses. The Company ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of £1.5m as at 30 November 2021.

Following our maiden investment, we see opportunities for investing in companies with the required expertise and potential to become pioneers in the market.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our board for their ongoing commitment and expertise as well as our shareholders for their continued 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 seeks to build 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 seeks to assemble a portfolio of drug development companies with a compelling pipeline of psychedelic inspired medicines and experiential therapies for human clinical trials which adhere strictly 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.

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. As a result, the Board looks forward to the future with great confidence.
