Chairman's Statement

The period ended 30 June 2022 saw the Company successfully complete its admission to the AQSE Growth Market ("AQSE") on 29 April 2022. In connection with the admission, the Company raised GBP1,726,300 (before expenses). Including pre-IPO funds, the Company raised a total of GBP2,066,300 during the period.

This milestone positioned the Company to begin executing its strategy as detailed below.

Strategy & Outlook

The Company's investment strategy, as stated in its admission document published on 25 April 2022, is to seek to operate as an enterprise company seeking acquisition or investment opportunities within the financial media and related technology industries. Within these broad industries, areas of focus may include:

-- Financial news websites and other forms of "new media"

-- Investment research providers

-- Financial PR, IR, design and marketing agencies

-- Production studios and visual content providers

-- Technology platforms which facilitate capital raising and/or lending

Indeed, the Company made its first acquisition soon after the end of the period. Miriad Limited ("Miriad"), a successful financial PR and IR consulting company run by well-known stock market commentator (and Company Director) Zak Mir, was acquired on 5 September 2022 for a consideration of GBP366,667.

As stated in the Company's shareholder circular dated 8 August 2022, the acquisition of Miriad helps to achieve the Directors' goal of covering Lift's fixed costs and providing, not just stability during a time of market turmoil, but an ideal platform from which to launch into the next phase of the Company's growth strategy.

The Board looks forward to both growing the Miriad business and continuing to seek complementary acquisition or investment opportunities which help to cement the Company's central position in the small/mid-cap arena.

The Company's strategy is further detailed in the Strategic Report on Page 4.

Financial Summary

The Company incurred a loss for the period of GBP474,578. A significant part of the Company's expenses during the period related to one-off costs in connection with the admission to AQSE.

With the post-period end acquisition of Miriad, the Directors continue to focus on not just preserving but growing the Company's assets.

The Board looks forward to providing further material updates to the market in due course and thanks shareholders for their continued support.
