HALF YEARLY REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

Β 

Β 

Boston International Holdings plc, formed in October 2015, which operates as a special purpose acquisitions company (SPAC) to undertake one or more acquisitions of target companies or businesses in the FX sector, announce sits unaudited half year report for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

Β 

Chairman's Statement

Β 

I have pleasure in presenting the interim results of Boston International Holdings Plc for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

Β 

The loss in the period was Β£214,000, being the administrative expenses incurred.

Β 

On 22nd August 2017 the Company's shares were suspended following the announcement that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Cornhill FX Holdings Limited ("CFXH"), a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales, to purchase of the entire issued share capital of that company.

Β 

The proposed transaction has taken longer to conclude than anticipated, however the Board remain committed to achieving a successful outcome and will provide further updates in due course.

Β 

Β 

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Β 

The Company is subject to a number of risk factors. The Directors have identified the following key risks in the second six months of this financial year. Other risk factors not presently known or currently deemed immaterial may also apply.

Β· The Company has announced a proposed transaction which if it completes would constitute a reverse takeover under the Listing Rules and shares in the Company have been suspended from trading until the issue of a prospectus or termination of discussions. Significant cash resources will be spent in pursuit of the completing the transaction and should the proposed transaction not be completed the Company will have significantly less cash than it has now.

Β· Should the proposed transaction abort before the end of the period, the Board will have to assess the future viability and direction of the Company.

Β· The Company is dependent on its directors, in particular the Chairman, to manage the Company and lead the proposed transaction. If the Company were to lose the services of the Chairman, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to complete the proposed transaction.

Β 

Β 

Β 

Responsibility Statement

Β 

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR') and with International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).

Β 

The Directors confirm that the interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and that as required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, the Interim Report includes a fair review of:

Β 

Β· important events that have occurred during the first six months of the year;

Β 

Β· the impact of those events on the financial statements;

Β 

Β· a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year;

Β 

Β· details of any related party transactions that have materially affected the Company's financial position or performance in the six months ended 30 June 2017; and

Β 

Β· any changes in the related parties transactions described in the last annual report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the enterprise in the first six months of the current financial year.
