Clarify Pharma PLC
("Clarify Pharma" or "The Company")
Full Year Results
Clarify Pharma (AQSE: PSYC), an investment vehicle specialising in biotech and life sciences companies seeking to prove the safety and efficacy of psychedelic-based substances, announces its audited financial results for the twelve months ended 30 November 2022.
The Company is an Investment Company and has not divested any of its investments since IPO and continues to hold its one private investment: Beckley Psytech Ltd.
During the year the Company invested further into the sector by taking equity positions in two NASDAQ-listed companies; Atai Life Sciences (ATAI) and Compass Pathways (CMPS) which the Directors feel represent opportunities to increase the Company's exposure to the sector.
Outlook:
Whilst the psychedelic-focused biotech and life sciences sector has not generated attractive returns in the period, the Directors believe that the market fundamentals suggest the sector will develop significantly along with the regulatory environment.
Commenting on the results, Jonathan Bixby, Executive Director of Clarify Pharma, said: "Within the twelve months prior to 30 November 2022, Clarify Pharma increased exposure to the sector by investing in listed companies. We remain confident that our early-stage investment in Beckley Psytech Ltd will generate attractive returns. We look forward to the continued growth of confidence among investors in this nascent sector."
The directors of Clarify Pharma plc accept responsibility for this announcement.
