CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Your Company's net asset value ended the six month period under review unchanged at 68 pence per share; its share price fell by 7% as the discount at which its shares trade to net asset value widened somewhat. These bald facts do not do justice to a period that showed real promise, only to end in a disappointment that has deepened since the quarter end. It was not until the start of 2012 that we left the post-Fukushima lows behind us, but in January and February better world economic news coincided with a marked change in sentiment towards uranium and uranium mining stocks and the Company's net asset value responded strongly. It increased by more than 20% in January, and the long awaited consummation of the apparently interminable Chinese Kalahari romance in February saw further progress and seemed to mark a turning point. March saw renewed weakness, however, a weakness that was especially frustrating because it attached so little to the fundamentals of the uranium space and so much to the macro backdrop, with mixed news from China, renewed doubt over the strength of the US recovery and, above all, the renewal of the eurozone crisis dragging markets lower. There is encouragement to be found. Through it all the uranium spot price has remained virtually unchanged at a little over USD50/lb, and it feels as though a firm floor has been established. Japan's last operating nuclear reactor may have been closed for compulsory inspection, but there is increasing evidence of local government support for a programme of plant re-opening; it remains Germany's stated intention to close its nuclear plants, but Frau Merkel has yet to indicate the source of the replacement power, and if M Hollande is less than supportive of older nuclear technologies, he has re-stated his support for the new EPR and Generation IV fast breeder projects. China's commitment to the nuclear project remains unshakeable, and closer to home it is interesting to note that Turkey has entered into collaboration with an enthusiastic China to develop a nuclear programme. A short term dominated by fears of a worldwide recession originating in the eurozone may present an unpromising backdrop, but the reality is that nuclear power remains attractive to any country without other traditional energy resources. The medium term case for the Company's focus on the uranium industry remains as valid as ever, while the authority granted by shareholders to diversify up to 30% of our assets into other resource related activities is particularly useful at times like the present.

Liberum Capital initiates buy on Standard Chartered, target price 1600p.

Mobile phone testing company Anite has quadrupled in value since Midas Extra recommended the stock in January 2009, but the business is growing so there is still mileage in the shares. Last month, chief executive Chris Humphrey said profits for the year to June would be higher than expected after a particularly successful performance from the group’s handset division, which tries out new technology for the manufacturers of mobile phones. Anite’s results will be revealed in early July and brokers expect a 70 per cent surge in profits to almost £27million and an increase in the dividend from 1p to 1.2p. In January 2009, Anite shares were 28p and Humphrey had just been appointed. Today the stock is 115.5p. Investors who bought three years ago may be tempted to sell some shares, but they should not sell out completely as this company has consistently surprised on the upside. The shares should continue to rise, says The Financial Mail on Sunday´s Midas column.

WPP is heading for a “car crash” showdown with investors over the near £13m pay package of its chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell at its annual general meeting on Wednesday, a leading investor group has warned. Pirc, which routinely talks to hundreds of major institutional investors, said it is “difficult to find shareholders likely to support the company” on the issue of executive remuneration. Any last minute adjustments to the executive remuneration report at the media conglomerate will do little to quell mounting anger, a spokesman added. The chairman of WPP has hinted for the first time that Sir Martin’s compensation package could be reduced if a majority of shareholders vote against it, according to The Telegraph.

Gary Smith, CEO of Intandem, says: "I'm delighted to have secured this funding in what are challenging economic times, especially given that lottery funding is limited in California and the demand was so high. It is a great coup for the film to have beaten such strong competition and we are off to a strong start with strong presales at the Cannes Film Festival last month. "

Intandem - one of ten film companies in the World to win California Film Commission tax credit funding Intandem Films Plc., the London and Los Angeles based international film group, announces that it is one of only ten companies in the World to secure financing via the California Film Commission (CFC) Tax Credit Lottery - the annual selection of films and TV shows eligible to receive a tranche of the $100m allotted for state film tax credits. The Company is co-producing 10 Things I Hate About Life, which was picked as one of only 10 films to receive a tax credit out of over 300 applicants. It will receive $1.76 million from CFC to help fund the humorous, life-affirming love story, which centres around two people in their late twenties, whose lives have become unmanageable. Filming will begin this November in Los Angeles. In addition to being responsible for raising the production finance for the film for which it will earn producer fees, Intandem has worldwide sales rights to the film and will earn 15% commission on all sales. The Company achieved presales of almost $2million at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Furthermore, the Company will release the film in the UK and will earn fees of 35% on all revenue generated in the UK including cinema,dvd, television and airlines. 10 Things I Hate About Life was written by and is to be directed by Gil Junger - the multiple award winning director of the globally successful 10 Things I Hate About You which starred Heath Ledger and grossed $50 million in sales worldwide and $5m in the UK. 10 Things I Hate About Life will star rising talent Hayley Atwell whose credits include Cassandra's Dream, The Duchess, Brideshead Revisited and most recently she was the female lead in Paramount Pictures' Captain America: the First Avenger. Andrew Lazar (10 Things I Hate About You, Cats & Dogs and Get Smart), a leading US Producer based at Warner Bros, whose box office revenues have exceeded $500 million, will be the producer, along with Intandem's CEO, Gary Smith.
