CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I am pleased to present the unaudited interim results for the
period ended 31 December 2017.
Blockchain floated on to the standard listing of the official
list on the London Stock Exchange on 21 September 2017, with the
name Stapleton Capital plc. The Company was created to acquire a
company or business in the telecoms sector.
During this interim period, Blockchain recorded a loss of
GBP7,501, being the minimal running costs of the company. As the
directors draw no salary, the ongoing costs are only minor
administrative expenses. Cash assets at period end were nearly
GBP1.45 million with no debts.
During the period, the Directors identified a number of
blockchain technology investment opportunities. Blockchain is a
digital networked database system of ledgers that can record almost
any type of data or transaction. Currently blockchain's mainstream
use is as the basis for digital currency, however it has
applications across multiple other industries. It is within these
industries that the Directors believe the technology has the
potential to cause major disruption and that they will focus the
Company's resources. As a result, the Board has decided to change
the Company's investment remit to consider acquisitions within the
blockchain technology industry. To reflect this, the name of the
Company was changed to Blockchain Worldwide plc on 19 January
2018.
Outlook
We continue to make good progress towards a potentially game
changing deal within the blockchain space and will update the
market as soon as we are able.
