Pretax loss widened to GBP8.2 million from GBP1.5 million reflecting an increase in impairment charges to GBP6.0 million from GBP76,989. Loss per share totalled 0.42p compared to 0.13p before.

Andrada Mining Ltd - African technology metals mining company with a portfolio of mining and exploration assets in Namibia - Issues operational update for quarter ended November 30.

Although the operating cash cost per unit of production excluding selling expenses and costs including selling expenses decreased quarter-on-quarter remaining within the management guidance, the all-in sustaining cost was around 2% higher. The latter is expected to decrease to within management guidance as production volumes increase. Notes the combined cash and cash equivalent balance on November 30 was GBP21 million.

Tekcapital PLC - London-based intellectual property investment company - Sees clear runway of growth for each of its portfolio companies in the coming year. Intends to maintain material holdings in select portfolio companies until feels sufficient value has been created to warrant crystallising value for shareholders. Chief Executive Clifford Gross comments: "Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions in 2023, we have never been as excited about the near-term commercial opportunities for our portfolio companies, and we expect to report significant additional milestones for them in the coming year."

Ediston Property Investment Company PLC - Reports EPRA net asset value of 71.4 pence at September 30 down from 94.9p the year prior. Explains on September 29, the company sold its entire property portfolio to RI UK 1 Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Realty Income Corp.
