Basis of preparation

The condensed financial information for the period ended 30 September 2017 and 30 September 2016 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed financial information is unaudited and does not constitute statutory financial statements. The comparative interim financial information covers the period from incorporation on 26 February 2016 to 30 September 2016.

Subsequent to the reporting year end, the Company raised approximately £769,860 of net new finance following its admission on the Main Market of London Stock Exchange. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements.

3.   CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of unaudited interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses for the current and its corresponding financial period under review. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the unaudited interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by the management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the sources of estimates uncertainty were consistent as those applied to the 2017 Audited Financial Statements.

There were no changes in estimates of amounts of the Company that may have a material effect on financial period ended 30 September 2017.

Basic loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

There are currently no dilutive potential ordinary shares.
