The Conygar Investment Company PLC
Interim Results
for the period ended 31 March 2004
Chairman's Statement
It has been an interesting period for the company spent identifying and
evaluating suitable investment opportunities, following the successful admission
of the company's shares to the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London
Stock Exchange in October 2003. As stated in our Admission Document, the
company strategy remains to invest in property assets and companies with
property assets where we can add significant value. We have a continuous
pipeline of opportunities which are being evaluated and are at various stages of
negotiations.
During the period from incorporation to 31 March 2004, the company recorded a
small loss of £2,000. The company works hard to minimise administrative
overhead and we are careful to ensure that we do not incur excessive costs in
evaluating potential transactions. Much of this work is undertaken in-house.
We have been particularly pleased by the response from our shareholders and when
approached by further potential investors in February of this year were more
than happy to place a further 522,000 shares with them at a price of 90 pence
per share thereby increasing funds for investment. We had a cash balance of
£4.9 million at 31 March 2004.
The directors do not propose to consider a dividend payment at this early stage
of the company's development but will review the dividend position at an
appropriate time.
I am also pleased to welcome Steven Vaughan onto our board. Steven has been
involved with the company from the outset and has been employed in sourcing and
evaluating various transactions and opportunities. Steven is a chartered
surveyor and was previously a senior executive at MEPC Limited. His experience
with property development and investment will be invaluable and he strengthens
the team yet further. He will be appointed upon the same terms as the existing
directors.
The board is confident about the future prospects of the company and will
continue to keep shareholders informed of the company's progress.
