(the "Company")
Net Asset Value calculation to 30 September 2017
Â
Jim Mellon, Chairman, commented: -
"The Net Asset Value ("NAV") calculation for the Company as at closing on 30 September 2017 was 9.20 pence per share, including un-invested cash of £634,765. The portfolio is valued under IFRS at bid price.
Net Assets stand at £2.1 million including investments of £1.3 million. This quarter's NAV represents a decrease of 1.6% from the previous valuation of 9.35 pence per share, which included un-invested cash of £875,885. No additional management fee is due to Shellbay Investments Limited.
Of our principal investments: Regent Pacific Group Limited announced in August 2017 that the commercial launch of their flagship product, Fortacinâ„¢, will begin in early 2018; Summit Therapeutics PLC announced further positive data for the Phase 2 clinical trial with their selective antibiotic ridinilazole; and SalvaRx Group PLC announced in September 2017 that its wholly owned subsidiary had formed a joint venture with Immunova LLC to develop selective nanomedicine delivery, potentially minimising negative side-effects that patients experience under traditional therapies. We continue to be very positive in our assessment of our portfolio's prospects."
