Interim Results for the six months ended 31 March 2006
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
For the six months ended 31 March 2006
At £32,000, the costs for the six months period to 31 March 2006 reflect the
basic costs of running an AIM company. However, as we have previously announced,
there were important changes to the Company during the period; Howard Crosby,
the American natural resources entrepreneur, acquired 29.89% of the Company from
PSG Solutions Plc (formerly London & Boston Investments Plc) and was appointed
to the Board. At the same time both Emanuel Mond and Paul Hughes resigned from
the Board. PSG Solutions Plc, both during and after the period under review, has
reduced its holding to 9.99% from 48.94%.
The Company has appointed Strand Partners Limited as its new nominated advisor
and broker. The Board is satisfied that this appointment reflects the Board's
intention to change the direction of the Company towards natural resources with
an emphasis on energy.
As previously announced, the Company is currently seeking to raise up to
$500,000 for working capital and investment purposes by way of a placing with
selected private investors at 2 US cents (approximately 1.125 pence) per share.
To date, over $400,000 has been received in subscriptions for new shares.
The Directors are actively evaluating a potential transaction at the present
time and remain confident of announcing a suitable acquisition to enhance
shareholder value in due course, but in the meantime we are grateful for the
continued support of our shareholders during this transition period.
