CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present to shareholders the Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements of Summerway Capital plc (the
"Company") for the six months ended 29 February 2020.
Strategy
The Company's investment strategy remains the same as outlined
in its Admission Document dated 16 October 2018.
Results and Developments in the Period
The Group's loss after taxation for the six months to 29
February 2020 was GBP86,730 (2019: GBP114,766), which comprised
GBP97,904 of administrative expenses and interest received of
GBP11,175. At the period end, the Company held a cash balance of
GBP5,547,414.
On listing in October 2018, Summerway successfully raised
GBP5.8million (after expenses).
Outlook
We continue to pursue our investment strategy since admission to
trading on AIM on 19 October 2018. We receive a regular flow of
potential acquisition opportunities and, whilst the COVID-19
pandemic has introduced a new and unforeseen element of uncertainty
for business and financial markets thereby bringing fresh
complexity to the acquisition process, we hope to report positive
progress towards completion of our first transaction in the months
ahead. We look forward to updating shareholders further in due
course.

The incentive shares liability is estimated at fair value
through profit and loss using level 3 fair value measurement
techniques.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair
value hierarchy based on the degree to which the inputs to the
measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to
the fair value measurement in its entirety:
-- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
-- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs
other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from
valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability
that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
The B shares issued by the subsidiary under the incentive scheme
were deemed to have an implied aggregate subscription price of
GBP12,000, based on the nominal value per B share plus a premium.
The initial subscription price of the incentive shares remains the
best estimate of the fair value of the liability associated with
the incentive shares as none of the criteria for potential value
creation have yet been met. The fair value of the liability is
assessed at each reporting date with any changes accounted for as a
fair value gain or loss and recognised directly in the statement of
comprehensive income.
11. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the
ability to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party, or the parties are under common
control or influence, in making financial or operational
decisions.
Under the terms of their respective service agreements, the
Executive Directors are each paid a salary of GBP1,000 per calendar
month, in each case payable monthly in arrears. The Non-Executive

The Company is party to a corporate advisory agreement dated 12
October 2018 with AFS.
Pursuant to that agreement, AFS has agreed to provide strategic
and general business advice to the Company, including identifying
potential investment opportunities and acquisition targets and
making recommendations to the Board in respect of the acquisition
and disposition of the same.
AFS will receive a transaction fee equal to 1 per cent. of the
gross transaction value of any acquisition or investment undertaken
by the Company during the term of the agreement or after
termination of the agreement to the extent the Company completes a
transaction in relation to which AFS had provided any services

received by AFS. In addition, from legal completion of the first
acquisition or investment undertaken by the Company, the Company
will pay AFS a monthly retainer of GBP15,000. As at 29 February
2020 no charges have been incurred under the agreement as the legal
of completion of the first acquisition has not happened.
Under the corporate advisory agreement, AFS agrees that it shall
not (and shall procure that each associate of AFS shall not)
introduce to any person other than the Company any acquisition of
or investment in any company or business that would fall within the
scope of the Investment Policy without offering the Company a right
of first refusal in respect of the same (if applicable) or
obtaining the prior written consent of the Company.
The appointment is for an initial term of eighteen months or
such longer period as the Company is an investing company for the
purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies. Thereafter the agreement
shall be renewed automatically for successive periods of 12 months
unless a party gives notice to the other party in writing that it
wishes to terminate the agreement at least three months before the
relevant renewal date.
Either party may terminate the agreement (without prejudice to
any right of action accruing or already accrued to it) without
penalty by notice in writing, inter alia, if the other party
commits: (i) an act of fraud or negligence; (ii) or a material
breach of the terms of the agreement, which has not been rectified
within 60 business days of being requested in writing to do so (if
such breach is capable of rectification).
The Company may also terminate the agreement if there is a
change of control of AFS without the prior written consent of the
Company.
The agreement shall terminate automatically if either party to
the agreement: (i) enters into liquidation (except on terms
previously approved in writing by the other party) or has a
receiver appointed over that party or its assets; (ii) if an
effective resolution is passed for the winding up of any party
(other than for the purposes of a solvent reconstruction or
amalgamation previously approved in writing by the other party); or
(iii) if any party becomes insolvent or stops or threatens to stop
carrying on business or payment of its material proven debts or
make any arrangement with creditors generally.
The Company has given an indemnity in favour of AFS in respect
of AFS' potential losses in carrying on its responsibilities under
the agreement. The Agreement is governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of England.
The Company had desk rental agreements with Romana Capital LLP
and Sealark LLP under which the Company paid GBP18,150 during the
period.
