INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2013

 

Chairman's Statement

We have pleasure in presenting the interim accounts for the six month period ended 30th September 2013. Indeed, this is the first actual period since the restructuring and change of direction which came about last March.

 

You will notice that the financial statements below are presented without the customary period to period comparative numbers. AIM Regulation granted the Company a derogation on this matter given the irrelevance of the first half period last year which was, in effect, reporting on a completely different company.

 

During our first half period, whilst protecting the integrity of the shell company, the Board has examined a range of possible reverse takeover candidates. Britain is alive with opportunities within our target sectors of technology and life sciences and it is a matter of identifying a candidate which fulfils our investment criteria. Full details of the Company's investing policy are available on the Company's website www.adamsplc.co.uk.

 

We look forward to the coming months and will keep shareholders apprised as the need arises.
