MARWYN ACQUISITION COMPANY PLC
Unaudited Interim
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the six months ended 31 December 2021
MANAGEMENT REPORT
I present to shareholders the unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements of Marwyn Acquisition Company plc
(the "Company") for the six months ended 31 December 2021 (the
"Consolidated Interim Financial Statements"), consolidating the
results of the Company and WHJ Limited, (collectively, the "Group"
or "MAC").
Strategy
Marwyn Acquisition Company plc is listed on AIM on the London
Stock Exchange and was established to provide shareholders with
attractive total returns achieved through capital appreciation. The
Directors believe that opportunities exist to create significant
value for shareholders through properly executed, acquisition-led
growth strategies, in the industrials, manufacturing, engineering,
construction, building products or support services sectors. The
investment policy is included in full on the Company's website at
www.marwynacplc.com .
Results
The Group's loss after taxation for the six months to 31
December 2021 was GBP183,000 (six months to 31 December 2020: loss
of GBP515,000). The Group held a cash balance at the period end of
GBP4,995,000 (as at 30 June 2021: GBP5,222,000).
Dividend Policy
The Company has not yet acquired a trading operation and it is
therefore inappropriate to make a forecast of the likelihood of any
future dividends. The Directors intend to determine the Company's
dividend policy following completion of a platform acquisition and,
in any event, will only commence the payment of dividends when it
becomes commercially prudent to do so.
Corporate Governance
In line with the London Stock Exchange's AIM Rules for Companies
requiring all AIM-quoted companies to adopt a recognised corporate
governance code, explain how the company complies with that code's
requirements and identify and explain areas of non-compliance, the
Board has adopted the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate
Governance Code. There have been no significant changes to the
Corporate Governance Report presented in the Group's Annual Report
and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June
2021, which is available on the Company's website. Additional
information in respect of the Company's compliance with the QCA
Code can also be found on the Company's website.
The Company intends to re-evaluate its corporate governance code
framework upon the earlier of the completion of a platform
acquisition, or on appointment of an executive management team.
Risks
The Directors have carried out a robust assessment of the
principal risks facing the Group including those that would
threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or
liquidity. There have been no significant changes to the principal
risks described on in the Group's Annual Report and Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Directors
are of the opinion that the risks detailed therein are applicable
to the six-month period to 31 December 2021, as well as the
remaining six months of the current financial year.
Outlook
The Directors believe that the Company is well-positioned to
capitalise on opportunities in the current market environment,
particularly where the Company's structure and listed status is
likely to prove attractive in securing a leading executive
management team to pursue buy and build strategies, a number of
which have been identified and continue to be progressed.
Each of the Directors confirms that, to the best of their
knowledge:
(a) these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial
Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair
view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or
loss of MAC; and
(b) these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements comply with
the requirements of Rule 18 of the AIM Rules for Companies and
Article 106 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
Neither the Company nor the Directors accept any liability to
any person in relation to the interim financial report except to
the extent that such liability could arise under applicable
law.

Company website at www.marwynacplc.com .

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Marwyn Acquisition Company Plc ("Marwyn", or the "Company"), an

("AIM Rules"), is incorporated in Jersey (company number 123424)
and domiciled in the United Kingdom. It is a public limited company
with registered office at 47 Esplanade, St Helier, Jersey, JE1 0BD
and a UK Establishment (BR019423) address of 11 Buckingham Street,
London, WC2N 6DF. The Company is the parent of a wholly owned
subsidiary (together with the Company, collectively the "Group"),
as detailed in Note 9.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared
in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and are
presented on a condensed basis. The Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning
of Article 105 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. All values are
rounded to the nearest thousand (GBP000) except where otherwise
indicated.
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all
the information and disclosures required in the annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's
Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year
ended 30 June 2021, which is available on the Company's website,
www.marwynacplc.com .
(b) Going concern
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will
continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due within
the next twelve months from the date of approval.
(c) New standards and amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards
Standards, amendments and interpretation effective and adopted
by the Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these
Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those
followed in the preparation of the Group's audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021, which were
prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union, updated to
adopt those standards which became effective for periods starting
on or before 1 January 2020. None of the new standards have had a
material impact on the Group.
Standards issued but not yet effective
The following standards are issued but not yet effective. The
Group intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they
become effective. It is not expected that these standards will have
a material impact on the Group.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
under IFRS requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates and
judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical
experience and other factors including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant estimates and judgements
For the period ended 31 December 2021 and at the period end, the
Directors do not consider that they have made any significant
estimates or judgements which would materially affect the balances
and results reported in these Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Board of Directors is the Group's chief operating
decision-maker. As the Group has not yet acquired a trading
business, the Board of Directors considers the Group as a whole for
the purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources, and
therefore the Group has one reportable operating segment.
5. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
The Group does not have any employees. During the six months
ended 31 December 2021, and six months ended 31 December 2020, the
Company had two directors: James Corsellis and Mark Brangstrup
Watts.
The following table details the aggregate compensation paid to
the directors over the period.

=============== ===============
The Group is tax resident in the UK. As at 31 December 2021,
cumulative tax losses available to carry forward against future
trading profits were GBP25,988,000 (2020: GBP25,622,000) subject to
agreement with HM Revenue & Customs. Prior to a Platform
Acquisition, there is no certainty as to future profits and no
deferred tax asset is recognised in relation to these carried
forward losses.
8. LOSS PER ORDINARY SHARE
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to
equity holders of a company by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the period. Diluted EPS is
calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares. The weighted average number of shares has not been
adjusted in calculating diluted EPS as there are no instruments
which have a current dilutive effect.
Refer to Note 17 (Share based payments) of the Group's Annual
Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30
June 2021 for instruments that could potentially dilute basic EPS
in the future.

The fair value and book value of the financial assets and
liabilities are materially equivalent.
The Group's risk management policies are established to identify
and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk
limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence limits.
Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to
reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's
activities.
Treasury activities are managed on a Group basis under policies
and procedures approved and monitored by the Board. These are
designed to reduce the financial risks faced by the Group which
primarily relate to movements in interest rates.
As the Group's assets are predominantly cash and cash
equivalents, market risk and liquidity risk are not currently
considered to be material risks to the Group.
