CONDUITY CAPITAL PLC

("CCAP" or "the Company")

Unaudited Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2021

Conduity Capital Plc (AIM: CCAP), an AIM Rule 15 cash shell, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 June 2021.

Chairman's Statement

As previously announced, during the 2020 financial year, the Company took the decision to sell its Singaporean trading subsidiary. Following the completion of the sale, the Company became an AIM Rule 15 cash shell and as such is required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 (including seeking re-admission as an investing company (as defined under the AIM Rules)) on or before the date falling six months from completion of the disposal or be re-admitted to trading on AIM as an investing company under the AIM Rules. The Company has been actively pursuing acquisition opportunities, however, as no acquisition had been made, trading in the Company's shares on AIM was suspended on 6 April 2021.

On 4 August 2021 the Company announced that it had entered into non-binding heads of agreement to work towards the possible acquisition of Smarttech247 by the Company for a total consideration of GBP33.5 million, to be satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company. ("Proposed Acquisition"). Smarttech247 is an established global artificial intelligence ("AI") based cybersecurity business specialising in automated managed detection and response. Should such a transaction proceed on the currently envisaged terms, it would be classified as a reverse takeover in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies ("RTO"). The Proposed Acquisition remains subject to contract and satisfactory completion of the necessary due diligence and, at this stage, there is no guarantee that the Proposed Acquisition will complete.

Admission to trading on AIM will be cancelled six months from the date of suspension should the reason for the suspension not have been rectified and, currently, the Company's shares remain suspended. Given the status of the Company's progress with the Proposed Acquisition and the time needed to complete the necessary due diligence and relevant documentation to effect a RTO, even if it decided to proceed, it will not be able to complete this process before Cancellation. Consequently, the Directors expect to seek to complete the Proposed Acquisition after Cancellation and then re-apply to join AIM. Cancellation is expected to occur on 7 October 2021.

For the period under review the Company incurred a loss of GBP157,000 (2020: Loss of GBP53,000). The loss for this period reflects the costs of administration, including the costs of pursuing various acquisition opportunities. As at 30 June 2021, the Company had net assets of GBP1,000,000, comprising principally of cash (31 December 2020: GBP622,000).

We will keep shareholders updated as matters progress.

   2.   Basis of Preparation

Change of presentation currency

The Directors have elected to change the Company's presentation currency from Singapore dollars ("$SGD") to Pound Sterling ("GBPGBP") effective from 1 January 2020. The Company has changed its accounting policy such that the presentation currency was aligned with the functional currency (GBP). In the prior years, the Company presented its financial statements in $SGD, as the main trading operations were based in Singapore and $SGD was the reporting currency. Following the disposal of the subsidiary in October 2020, the Company has used GBP in the financial statements in the year ended 31 December 2020. The change in presentation currency is a voluntary change which is accounted for retrospectively. All other accounting policies are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The financial report has been restated to Pound Sterling using the procedures outlined below:

1. Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flows have been translated into Pound Sterling using average foreign currency rates prevailing for the relevant period.

2. Assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position have been translated into Pound Sterling at the closing foreign currency rates on the relevant balance sheet dates.

3. The equity section of the Statement of Financial Position, including foreign currency translation reserve, retained earnings, share capital and the other reserves, have been translated into Pound Sterling using historical rates.

4. Earnings per share have also been restated to GBP to reflect the change in presentation currency.

Exchange differences arising from the translation are recognized in the translation reserve.
