HALF YEAR REPORT

Chairman's Statement

 

During the financial period under review, the Company reported a net loss of £158,000 (December 2023: £117,600, year to 30 June 2023: £262,400), being the administrative expenses incurred. As at 31 December 2024, the Company had a cash in bank balance of £310,700 (31 December 2023: £550,500, 30 June 2023: £518,100).

Interim Management Report

 

Company Objective

The Company has been formed for the purpose of acquiring a business or businesses operating in market sectors that display strong environmental, social and governance ("ESG") credentials, thereby benefitting from the current trend of superior performance aligned with increased investor appetite. The Company is not geographically focused on any one or specific country or region, but rather opportunity focused hence any potential acquisition opportunities will not be limited by jurisdiction or geographic region.

 

The Company was admitted to the Standard Listing of the London Stock Exchange on 11 April 2023. Since listing, the Directors have targeted socially conscious technology-based organisations which are capable of generating sustainable long-term growth for investors. The Company's initial focus is to identify opportunities to acquire companies with undervalued or pre-commercialisation technologies, or current commercialisation technologies which, when applied, produce cost savings or revenue enhancement for customers. These commercial advantages could offer market and sector beating performance potential whilst fulfilling the Company's ESG assessment criteria.

 

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Company's primary risk is that it may not be able to identify suitable investment opportunities or there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure an acquisition on commercially acceptable terms, and the Company may incur costs in conducting due diligence into potential investment opportunities that may not result in an investment being made. The directors believe that their broad collective experience, together with their extensive network of contacts will assist them in identifying, evaluating, and funding suitable acquisition opportunities.

 

It may be necessary to raise additional funds in the future by a further issue of new Ordinary Shares or by other means. However, the ability to fund future investments and overheads as well as the ability of any acquisition to return suitable profit cannot be guaranteed.

 

Related Parties Transactions

Details of related party transactions are set out in note 5 to these accounts.

 

Responsibility Statement

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).

 

The Directors, being John Zorbas, Segar Karupiah, Damion Greef and Avi Robinson confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:

 


the interim financial statements, prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company; and







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



- the impact of those events on the financial statements;



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





- any changes in the related party 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.
