Preliminary Results for the Year Ended 28 February 2016
The Company today announces its preliminary financial results for the year ended 28 February 2016.
Business review
The principal activity of the company during the year was that of an investment holding company.
The results for the year are a reflection of the minimal cost of keeping the Company administered whilst
continuing searching for suitable opportunities. The actual costs were GBP 36,862 (2015: GBP 41,073) adjusted for
currency gains of GBP 13,277 (2015: GBP 12,485). The directors have maintained most funds in US dollars as that is
the currency they anticipate any deal is likely to be conducted in.
The directors have continued to investigate potential investments. Of the various projects considered during the
course of the financial year ended 28 February 2016 it was determined that none of the projects were suitable for
the PLC to pursue. The directors remain committed to evaluating commercially viable projects and ultimately taking
forward one or several projects that they believe will deliver value for shareholders.
The Directors will continue to waive their fees until a suitable investment opportunity is identified.
Post year end events
Since 28 February 2016, the following post year end events have taken place.
-- On 11 March 2016, following approval of various resolutions as set out
in the circular and notice of general meeting, sent to shareholders on
11 February 2016 (the "Circular"), the company subdivided its existing
issued ordinary shares of 0.5p each in the capital of the company into
one new ordinary share with a nominal value of 0.01p and one deferred
share with a nominal value of 0.49p. Further details of this share
capital reorganisation can be found in the Circular.
-- The company adopted a new investing policy, with greater focus on
projects within the natural resources and/or energy sector. The full
investing policy can be found on pages 10 and 11 of the Circular and is
also available on the company's website.
-- Strategic investment made by Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) to subscribe for
19,027,268 ordinary shares of 0.01p each in the company representing
28.25% of the company's enlarged issued share capital.
-- Appointment of Metal Tiger plc's CEO, Paul Johnson, to the Board as a
Non-executive director and resignation of J.C.W. De Thierry as a
director.
-- Rebranding and change of name from ZimNRG plc to MetalNRG plc.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company are general and economic risks, specifically currency
exchange and liquidity risk. Currency exchange risk is managed by holding funds in US dollars, and monitoring
closely exchange fluctuations which could affect those funds. Liquidity risk is managed by the control of
expenditure, but is ultimately dependent on the success of any future viable investment projects.
The annual report and accounts will shortly be sent to shareholders.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
