AUDITED FINAL RESULTS TO 31 MARCH 2019 AND NOTICE OF AGM
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
I hereby present the financial results for the Company for the year ended 31 March 2019. The Company is an active investor primarily in junior natural resources companies.
The Company made a pre-tax loss of £35,376 for the year, compared to a pre-tax loss of £219,298 in the prior year. The Company will not be paying a dividend at this stage (2018: £Nil).
Cash and cash equivalents as at the year end of 31 March 2019 were £46,745 (2018: £16,710).
It has been quite a difficult period for small cap exploration companies and we have seen some significant fluctuations in the valuations of our investments during the period, both up and down.
We are generally pleased with performance and are working on a number of new projects to continue to add value to the portfolio.
We currently hold stakes in the following entities:
- Bermele plc (LSE:BERM)
- Bidstack Group plc (AIM:BIDS)
- Block Energy plc (AIM: BLOE)
- Brazil Tungsten Holdings Limited
- Copper Bay plc
- Elephant Oil Limited
- Impact Oil & Gas Limited
- Mafula Energy Limited
- MedGold Resources Corp (TSXV:MED)
- Minergy Limited
- New Horizon Oil & Gas Limited (trading as T5)
- Predator Oil & Gas Holdings plc (LSE:PRD)
- Rift Resources Limited
- Royal Road Minerals Limited (previously Tigris Resources) (TSXV:RYR)
- TAG Oil (TSX:TAO)
The Board of Directors will continue to introduce further equity positions to the Company to enable additional diversification of the portfolio. It is anticipated that these will continue to be primarily within the natural resources sector.
Notice of AGM
Notice is hereby given that the AGM of the Company will be held at the offices of Shakespeare Martineau at 60 Gracechurch Street, London, EC3V 0HR on 30 September 2019 at 11.30am. The notice of AGM will shortly be available on the Company‘s website, together with the audited report and accounts.
