Chairman's statement
Overview
Kin Group Plc became a "Rule 15 Cash Shell" under Rule 15 of the
AIM Rules on 30 August 2017. A new Board was appointed on 15
November 2017 on completion of a company voluntary arrangement for
a composition in satisfaction of the Company's debts ("CVA") and a
placing to raise a further GBP1m before expenses (the "Placing").
Since then the Directors have had discussions with numerous
businesses interested in obtaining a listing through a reverse
takeover ("RTO") as required by AIM Rule 15.
The Board are confident that the Company will deliver an
exciting RTO for shareholders to consider in the next few months
and is focusing its efforts on businesses with a credible high
growth strategy primarily in the technology, software, media and IT
sectors to maximise shareholder value. The Company has rejected a
number of potential acquisitions, but is currently in on-going
discussions with a number of businesses in the software sector and
continues to receive approaches from interesting businesses.
2017 was a year that started with promise and a placing which
raised GBP1million (before expenses) for the Company in January.
However poor first half trading and the withdrawal of the Group's
Loan Note facility with Belastock Capital L.P. ("Belastock") in
July, resulted in the Group's principal trading subsidiary, Kin
Wellness Limited ("Kin Wellness"), being placed in administration
and selling its business and assets. The Company became an AIM Rule
15 Cash Shell and subsequently undertook the CVA and placing.
The CVA and Placing and a reorganisation of the Company's share
capital were completed on 15 November and Anna Gudmundson, Richard
Goodlad, Mark Ollila and Heidi Steiger resigned from the Board.
Simultaneously John Taylor and Lindsay Mair joined the Board and
the Board spent the last six weeks of the year looking at new
businesses with which to conduct a RTO.
First Half Trading
The then Group was encouraged by the growing number of meetings,
presentations and exhibitions it made in the "wellness" market
during early 2017 although the Directors were disappointed that the
first half of the year produced sales in the B2B sector of only
GBP104,000.
As the Group's strategic partners had not delivered the results
expected by the Directors, the Group rolled out a direct to client
market entry strategy during first half of 2017, creating a
significant increase in key pipeline metrics. However, given the
long sales lead times, the Group's first half results did not
reflect this greatly increased activity and the Group's growing
pipeline of prospective clients.
Working Capital
On 15 May the Company announced that it had agreed to issue
convertible unsecured loan notes to raise up to GBP1.125 million
(before expenses) ("Notes"), to Belastock, an overseas based
institutional investor. The Notes were to be issued at a 10%
discount to nominal value in up to four tranches. The Company was
also to issue Belastock a warrant for each share arising on
conversion. The first GBP350,000 nominal of Notes was issued on 15
May, the net proceeds of which were GBP297,500.
The issue of subsequent tranches of Notes was conditional upon,
among other things, a closing bid price threshold which was
breached at the close of business on 12 June. Following discussions
Belastock confirmed its ongoing support for the Company as
announced on 13 June. The second tranche of Notes was due to be
issued in mid-July.
On 18 July 2017 the Company announced that Belastock was not
going to proceed with the three further tranches of the Notes which
would have raised GBP765,000 (net) for the Company over the
following four months. The Notes were a key part of the Company's
plans for short term development capital and the withdrawal of this
support meant the Company suffered a significant and unexpected
shortfall in its available working capital. Consequently the
Company suspended trading in its shares on AIM, pending
clarification of its financial position.
The Board immediately attempted to secure replacement funding.
Despite there being interest from a number of parties, the
Directors could not procure a solution enabling the Group to
continue in business. Although the Company was experiencing healthy
interest in the Group's products, the Directors concluded that the
length of time required to convert potential customers into sales
had proved too long for the working capital resources available to
the Group.
Administration and sale of Kin Wellness business
Kin Wellness then actively sought a purchaser for its business.
To facilitate a sale of its business as a going concern, Kin
Wellness appointed administrators with effect from 30 August
2017.
On 8 September 2017 the administrators completed the sale of the
business and certain assets of Kin Wellness to SMG Investment
Holdings Pty Limited, an Australian company based in Brisbane, for
an aggregate cash consideration of GBP50,000.
AIM Rule 15
As a result of the appointment of administrators to Kin
Wellness, the Company became a "Rule 15 Cash Shell" under Rule 15
of the AIM Rules on 30 August 2017.
Within six months of becoming a Rule 15 Cash Shell, the Company
must make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute(s) a
reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14. If it does not do so, the
London Stock Exchange will suspend trading in the Company's AIM
securities pursuant to AIM Rule 40. The London Stock Exchange will
cancel the admission of the Company's AIM securities pursuant to
AIM Rule 41 where they have been suspended from trading for six
months.
Creditors Voluntary Arrangement
On 5 October 2017 the Directors proposed a CVA. The CVA was
approved by creditors on 23 October and by shareholders on 24
October. The Company received aggregate claims from creditors
amounting to GBP2,302,003. Pursuant to the terms of the CVA and
following the Consolidation (see below) the Company issued
4,604,006 New Ordinary Shares of 0.5p credited as fully paid at 50p
per share to those creditors who made claims.
Placing
Simultaneously with the CVA and following the Consolidation (see
below) the Company raised a further GBP1 million before expenses by
placing 20,000,000 New Ordinary Shares of 0.5p at 5p per share
("Placing Shares"). In addition the Company issued 5,000,000
Warrants to the subscribers for the Placing Shares, being one
Warrant for every four Placing Shares subscribed, exercisable at a
price of 20p per warrant at any time up to three years from
admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM
("Admission").
The Company also issued warrants to its broker, Peterhouse and
the Directors to subscribe for an aggregate of 10% of the enlarged
issued ordinary share capital upon Admission exercisable at 5p per
share at any time during the 12 months following Admission.
Capital Restructuring - Subdivision and Consolidation
In conjunction with the Placing, on 24 October the Company
sub-divided its ordinary shares of 0.01p into ordinary shares of
0.0001p and C deferred shares of 0.0099p which, due to the rights
attaching to them, have no economic value.
On 26 October 2017 the Company proposed to consolidate every
5,000 ordinary shares of 0.0001p into one New Ordinary Share of
0.5p ("New Ordinary Share") (the "Consolidation"). The
Consolidation was approved by shareholders on 13 November 2017.
Those shareholders with fewer than 5,000 ordinary shares on 13
November 2017 ceased to be shareholders of the Company while those
holding more than 5,000 ordinary shares, but a number not exactly
divisible by 5,000, had their holdings rounded down to the nearest
whole number of New Ordinary Shares.
Lifting of Suspension
The Company obtained a lifting of the suspension in trading in
its shares and Admission at 8am on 15 November which also formally
completed the Placing and CVA.
New Board
On Admission Anna Gudmundson, Richard Goodlad, Heidi Steiger and
Mark Ollila resigned from the Board. Donald Stewart remained on the
Board as Chairman and John Taylor and Lindsay Mair both joined the
Board as Non-Executive Directors.
Financial Summary
Overall, total comprehensive loss for the year significantly
decreased to GBP384,000 (2016: loss of GBP2,914,000), an 86.8%
decrease on prior year. This is mainly due to the surplus as a
result of the CVA of GBP2,281,000.
Current assets increased to GBP918,000 (2016: 70,000). Cash as
at 31 December 2017 was GBP836,000 (2016: GBP8,000).
Trade payables at the year-end decreased to GBP104,000 (2016:
GBP178,000) due to timing differences on when invoices were paid
around the year end and due to the decreased activity.
Overall, at the year-end, net and total assets were GBP814,000
(2016: negative GBP927,000) and GBP918,000 (2016: GBP1,241,000),
respectively.
Outlook
Since 15 November, when the new Board was appointed, the Company
has had discussions with numerous businesses interested in
obtaining a listing through a reverse takeover ("RTO").
The Board is focusing its efforts on businesses with a credible
high growth strategy in the technology, software, media and IT
sectors to maximise shareholder value. As well as exploiting the
Directors' and the Company's advisers' knowledge and connections,
the Company continues to receive unsolicited approaches from
interested businesses.
The Company has rejected a number of potential acquisitions, but
is currently in on-going discussions with a number of businesses in
the software sector and continues to receive approaches from
interesting businesses.
The London Stock Exchange is expected to suspend trading in the
Company's ordinary shares on AIM pursuant to Rule 15 of the AIM
Rules at 7.30 am on 1 March 2018. In the event that no reverse
takeover is completed by 30 August 2018, the London Stock Exchange
will cancel the admission of the Company.
The Board remain confident that the Company will deliver a
transformational RTO for shareholders to consider before 30 August
2018.

Notes to the financial statements
1 General information
Kin Group Plc (the "Company") became a "Rule 15 Cash Shell"
under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules") on 30
August 2017 as a result of the appointment of administrators to Kin
Wellness Limited, the Company's principal trading subsidiary.
Within six months of becoming a Rule 15 Cash Shell, the Company
must make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute(s) a
reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14. If it does not do so, the
London Stock Exchange will suspend trading in the Company's AIM
securities pursuant to AIM Rule 40. The London Stock Exchange will
cancel the admission of the Company's AIM securities pursuant to
AIM Rule 41 where they have been suspended from trading for six
months.
The London Stock Exchange is expected to suspend trading in the
Company's ordinary shares on AIM pursuant to Rule 15 of the AIM
Rules at 7.30 am on 1 March 2018. In the event that no reverse
takeover is completed by 30 August 2018, the London Stock Exchange
will cancel the admission of the Company's ordinary shares to
trading on AIM pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules.
The Company is a public limited company which is admitted to
trading on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London

The registered number of the Company is 04466195.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the

2016, but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts 2016
have been delivered to the Registrar for Companiesand those for
2017 will be delivered following the Company's Annual General
Meeting. The audit report for the year ended 31 December 2017 was
unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of
emphasisi and did not contain a statement under Sections 498(2) or
(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December
2017 will be published on the Company's website -
www.kingroupplc.com today and copies will be posted tothose
shareholders entitled to the same as soon as practicable.
2 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and
International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC)
interpretations as endorsed by the European Union ("IFRS-EU"), and
those parts of the Companies Act applicable to companies reporting
under IFRS.
These financial statements have been prepared under the
historical costs convention, as modified for the fair value of
certain financial instruments.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which assumes that the Company will be able to continue
trading for the foreseeable future.
New standards, amendments and interpretations
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements,
certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing
standards have been published but are not yet effective and have
not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that
all of the pronouncements will be adopted by the Company's
accounting policies for the first period beginning after the
effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards,
amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to
the Company's financial statements is provided below and based on a
preliminary assessment the Company believes that their adoption
will not have a significant impact on its results or financial
position.
The following standards have been endorsed by the EU but are
effective subsequent to year-end:
-- IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective in
accounting periods beginning 1 January 2018)
IFRS 15 is intended to clarify the principles of revenue
recognition and establish a single framework for revenue
recognition. This supersedes IAS 18 Revenue and the core principle
is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has
considered the implications of IFRS 15 to have an immaterial
impact.
The EU does not yet endorse the following standards/amendments
to standards:
-- IFRS 16 "Leases"
IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both the
lessee and the lessor. It eliminates the classification of leases
as either operating leases or finance leases and introduces a
single lessee accounting model where the lessee is required to
recognise assets and liabilities for all material leases that have
a term of greater than a year. The Company has considered the
implications of IFRS 16 to have an immaterial impact.
-- IFRS 2 "Share-based payments"
There are a number of changes and clarifications affecting IFRS
2, including various clarifications emphasising that vesting
conditions, other than market conditions, are taken into account in
determining the number of instruments expected to vest and not in
determining the values of the individual instruments.
-- IAS 12 "Income taxes"
This clarification is intended to reduce the diversity in
practice in the accounting for deferred tax assets arising on
unrealised losses. The amendments clarify that in order to compute
a temporary difference, the carrying amount is carrying amount is
compared to its tax base. In doing so, the entity should not
consider how the related assets will be recovered (such as through
sale), or the probability that any resulting deferred tax asset
will be recoverable.
-- IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows"
This amendment arising from the disclosure initiative results in
changes in liabilities arising from financing activities being
analysed between five categories.
3 Loss per share
The loss per share is based upon the loss of GBP384,000 (2016:
loss of GBP2,914,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue for the year of 25,010,280 (2016: 701,905,343).
There are 7,561,028 (2016: nil) shares that could potentially be
issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants as described in note 18
that will potentially dilute future earnings per share.
The 7,561,028 warrants is comprised of 5,000,000 warrants
exercisable at 20p per share for three years from 15 November 2017
and 2,501,028 warrants exercisable at 5p for one year from 15
November 2017. Belastock have 60,000 warrants where one third is
exercisable at 10.52p per share, one third is exercisable at 6.975p
per share and the remainder is exercisable at 4.5p per share.
As the Company is loss making, in 2017 the warrants are
currently anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted loss per
share are the same.

The withdrawal of the then Group's Loan Note facility with
Belastock Capital L.P. in July, resulted in the then Group's
principal trading subsidiary, Kin Wellness Ltd, being placed in
administration and selling its business and assets. Following this
the Company entered into a CVA to enable it to continue trading as
a Rule 15 Cash Shell.
As a result of the impairment of the investment and intercompany
loans, the prior year numbers have been reclassed, with no overall
effect on the Company's results or reserves.

The Company has tax losses of approximately GBP3,167,000 (2016:
GBP2,783,000) to carry forward against future taxable profits.
However, it is unlikely that the losses will be available to be
carried forward due to a major change in trade and expected reverse
acquisition.
No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to the
trading losses available for offset against future taxable profits.
The Company has not recognised deferred tax asset due to there
being insufficient evidence of short-term recoverability.

The loans owed to the shareholders and the directors were
settled in full by way of shares issued pursuant to the CVA.
During the year, the Company secured up to GBP1,125,000 worth of
funding (before expenses) via a convertible loan agreement with
Belastock Capital L.P. They were issued at a 10% discount to
nominal value in up to four tranches. If the Notes are converted
into new ordinary shares in the Company, the Company will also
issue the Investor with one warrant for each Conversion Share.
The first tranche of Notes has a nominal amount of GBP350,000
and a subscription price of GBP315,000 and the second, third and
fourth tranches each have a nominal amount of GBP300,000 and a
subscription price of GBP270,000.
Each Warrant may be exercised within three years from 15 May
2017 at the lesser of (a) 90% of the lowest closing bid price for
the Company's ordinary shares for the three consecutive trading
days ending prior to service of the relevant exercise notice and
(b) 125% of the price at which the relevant Notes were converted
into Conversion Shares resulting in such Warrant becoming
exercisable.
One of the conditions attaching to the issue of subsequent
Notes, which can be waived by Belastock, is that the closing bid
price of the Company's ordinary shares falls below GBP0.001 (0.1
pence) for any five (5) consecutive trading days on or prior to the
relevant issue date, otherwise the funding would be withdrawn.

The following describes the nature and purpose of each reserve
within owner's equity:
Share capital: Amount subscribed for shares at nominal
value.
Share premium: Amount subscribed for share capital in excess of
nominal value, less costs of share issue.
Retained deficit: Cumulative realised profits less cumulative
realised losses and distributions made, attributable to the equity
shareholders of the Company.
Share-based payment reserve: The share-based payment reserve
comprises the cumulative expense representing the extent to which
the vesting period of share options has passed and management's
best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market
conditions and the number of equity instruments that will
ultimately vest.
Warrant reserve: The warrant reserve comprises the cumulative
expense representing the extent to which the vesting period of
warrants has passed and management's best estimate of the
achievement or otherwise of non-market conditions and the number of
equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

Options
The Company operates two equity-settled share-based remuneration
schemes for employees, one is the Enterprise Management Inventive
("EMI") Scheme and the other is an unapproved scheme for executive
directors and certain senior management.
A condition attached to both schemes is for the option holder to
remain in employment until exercised otherwise the options become
forfeited. In addition, the options will lapse if the individual
does not exercise the options within 10 years.

each for comparison purposes.
On 14 June 2017, H Steiger was granted 11,082,303 options over
ordinary shares of 0.01p each under the unapproved scheme. The
options vested over a three year period from the grant date and
expired on the 10(th) anniversary of the grant date. The only other
vesting condition was that the director remained in the Company's
employment. The exercise price had three requirements, one third of
the options were exercisable at 0.25p per share, one third at 0.35p
per share and the remainder at 0.5p per share. As H Steiger
resigned during the year, these options were subsequently
forfeited. The options granted had the same conditions as the
options granted last year.
The remaining unapproved and EMI options in existence in 2017
were forfeited during the year due to all employees and directors
leaving the Company other than Donald Stewart who waived his
remaining options.
