Bould Opportunities Plc
Half year results
Bould Opportunities Plc (AIM: "BOU", "Bould", the "Company" or "the Group"), currently an AIM Rule 15 Cash Shell considering new investment opportunities, announces its half year results for the six months ending 30 June 2019.
Operational and strategic overview
As explained in detail in the Group's recent audited annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, there were some fundamental changes to the Group in 2018 and in the first half of 2019. During this time, all of the Group's trading activities were either sold or closed down.
Fresh capital has been raised in the period and the Group is now moving forward with confidence, unencumbered from any ongoing liability for its past loss making, and cash consuming, activities.
Financial overview
At the start of 2018, in the previous financial year, the Group had three trading segments alongside coordinating activities of the AIM quoted holding company. By the end of 2018, two of the three trading segments had been disposed of and the third segment had substantially reduced its activities.
On 5 April 2019, a General Meeting confirmed the closure of the Group's remaining trading segment, and so the Group became an AIM Rule 15 Cash Shell that is seeking new investment opportunities in a number of business areas including the health sector, as per previous announcements.
Full provision for the estimated total wind down and closure costs were included in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year to 31 December 2018.
Under IFRS accounting, the results of the Group are separated between continuing and discontinued operations, and prior year consolidated figures have been restated where appropriate.
Consequently, in the Income Statement, the only Continuing Operations for the six months to 30 June 2019 are the corporate expenses of the Group's holding company, as quantified below. Also for this period, under Discontinued
Operations, there were two positive adjustments - with respect to the brought forward year end accruals for all of the closure costs, and a small surplus on the sale of the remaining trading business which has resulted in a profit on discontinued activities of £39,000.
In the reporting period, six months ending 30 June 2019, the company issued shares raising approximately gross proceeds of £1.33m from five placings of new ordinary shares, primarily to provide the Group with adequate working capital for any potential investments or transactions the Group may undertake as a Cash Shell.
The financial results for the six months to 30 June 2019 are summarised as follows:
·; Continuing Operations:
o Revenues for H1 2019 £nil (H1 2018: £nil)
o Corporate expenses H1 2019 £189,000 (H1 2018: £209,000)
o Taxation H1 2019 £nil (H1 2018: £nil)
o Loss from Continuing Operations H1 2019 £189,000 (H1 2018: £209,000)
·; Discontinued Operations:
o Profit/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations H1 2019 £39,000 (H1 2018: Loss (£223,000))
·; Total comprehensive loss H1 2019 (£150,000) (H1 2018: Loss ( £432,000))
·; Cash balances H1 2019 £843,000 (H1 2018: £47,000)
·; Borrowings H1 2019 £Nil (H1 2018: £355,000)
Allan Syms, Chairman, said:
"The Group is in a good position to achieve its long term investment plans. Discussions are progressing towards reaching a decision soon on the investment and we will keep shareholders updated."

3. Income Tax
There was no income tax for the six months ended 30 June 2019. For the six months ended 30 June 2018 there was an income tax credit of £60,000, and £169,000 for the year ended 31 December 2018. These income tax credits represent estimated research and development tax credit receivable for that period. Excluding these matters, the effective tax rate for the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 is expected to be zero, reflecting the availability of estimated brought forward tax losses at 31 December 2018 of about £0.5m.

Basic loss per share: |
|
|
|
(Loss) from continuing operations | £(179,000) | £(209,000) | £(323,000) |
Total comprehensive (loss) | £(140,000) | £(432,000) | £(2,057,000) |
Weighted number of Ordinary Shares - millions | 5,878 | 501 | 650 |
(Loss) per share - continuing operations - pence | (0.003p) | (0.04p) | (0.05p) |
Profit/(Loss) per share - discontinued operations - pence | 0.001p | (0.04p) | (0.27p) |
Basic total comprehensive loss per share - pence | (0.002p) | (0.08p) | (0.32p) |
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjusting these amounts for the effects of dilutive potential ordinary shares.
As the results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 and for the year ended 31 December 2018 are losses, any exercise of share options would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Consequently earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same as potentially dilutive share options have been excluded from the calculation.
