Directors' report and audited financial statements

for the year ended 30 April 2015

 

Chairman's Statement

 

In November 2014 the Company underwent a capital reorganisation raising gross proceeds of £360,000 by way of a subscription. The additional funding has provided the Company with liquidity and scope to develop any investment opportunities that may arise. In order to maximise returns for shareholders we have now completed the distribution in specie of our entire shareholding in Atlantic Healthcare plc ('Atlantic') to our existing investors prior to the subscription process. The listed shareholdings remain unchanged during the year.

 

The Board are looking into possible investment opportunities and hope to be in a position to update our shareholders in the coming months.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

 

Edward Bayman

Chairman

Directors' Report

 

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company was as an investment trading and holding company. The company is registered and managed in Jersey.

 

Review of the business and future developments

The original investment brief is to run a small and focused portfolio of investments. The balance sheet total has decreased from £695,718 (net assets of 0.55p per share) on 30 April 2014, to £125,585 (net assets of 0.36p per share) on 30 April 2015. For the year ended 30 April 2015 the company made a loss of £250,914 (2014 - loss of £126,371), which includes a realised net gain on investments of £nil (2014 - gain of £22,920) and an unrealised loss on the company's investments of £3,326 (2014 - loss of £61,634) of which £3,326 has arisen from the quoted investments.

 

The key performance indicator used to monitor the progress of the business is net assets per share.

 

At 30 April 2015, the company held two investments, one fewer than at 30 April 2014.

 

On 26 November 2014 the company raised £360,000 by way of a subscription, and undertook a capital restructuring, further details are set out in the notes.

 

The board is always alert to fresh investment opportunities but does not anticipate materially increasing the number of holdings at this stage. The board believes the current environment for small companies and pre-IPO investments remains very encouraging.

 

Dividends

During the year the company made a distribution in specie to shareholders of its holdings in Atlantic Healthcare Plc, the fair value of the holding being £679,219.

 

The directors are unable to recommend payment of a final dividend.

Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 April 2015

 

1. Accounting policies

 

1.1. Accounting convention

 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention modified to include the revaluation of fixed asset investments, and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards.

 

1.2. Going concern basis of accounting

 

The company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development and financial position are set out in the Chairman's Statement, the review of the business on page 4 and in the risk management disclosures on pages 4 and 5 and in note 10.

 

The company has sufficient liquid funds to manage its financial risks and to ensure it can meet its obligations as they fall due.

 

The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a minimum period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

 

1.3. Foreign currencies

 

The company's accounts are presented in sterling which is its functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. All exchange differences are charged or credited to the profit and loss account.

 

1.4. Taxation

 

The company is eligible to pay Jersey tax at the standard rate of 0% and consequently, no provision for taxation, either current or deferred, has been made in these financial statements.

 

1.5. Financial instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company has become party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Investments

 

The company manages its investments with a view to profiting from the receipt of dividends and changes in fair value of investments. Therefore all quoted investments and unquoted equity investments are designated at fair value through profit or loss and carried in the balance sheet at fair value. All investments are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration given plus acquisition costs

associated with the investment and held at this value until it is appropriate to measure fair value on a different basis.

 

Investments are fair valued using quoted market prices, independent appraisals, discounted cash flow analysis or other appropriate valuation models at the balance sheet date.

 

Quoted investments are stated at bid prices at the balance sheet date.

 

Unlisted investments are stated at 'price of recent investment', reflecting the early stage nature of the investment. The following considerations are used when calculating the 'price of recent investment' in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines, published in December 2012.

(i) Where the investment being valued was itself made recently, its cost will generally provide a good indication of fair value.

(ii) Where there has been a recent investment by third parties, the price of that investment will provide a basis of the valuation.

(iii) Where a fair value cannot be estimated reliably, the investment is reported at cost or the carrying value at the previous reporting date, unless there is evidence that the investment has since been impaired.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Short term creditors

 

Short term creditors comprise accrued costs at the year end, which do satisfy the definition of a financial liability as they create an obligation for the company to pay cash in the future, and are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

1.6. Income

 

Interest income is recognised on a time apportionment basis. Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive payment has been established.

 

1.7. Segmental reporting

 

The company's activities consist solely of investment trading and holding, which in the view of the directors is one activity.

The services of the other three directors are made available by Pentera Trust Company Limited within the fees disclosed in the "Related party disclosures" note below. The cost of the directors' services included within these fees is £800 (2014: £800).

 

5. Loss per share

 

The basic loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

 

The diluted loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year (after adjusting both figures for the effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares).

 

The calculation of the basic loss per ordinary share is based upon the following data:

On 26 November 2014 225,000,000 new ordinary £0.01 shares were issued and immediately the total issued shares were consolidated into no par value shares on a ten for one share conversion basis. To ensure that the loss per share is relevant to the no par value share capital held at the year end the basic weighted average number of shares has been calculated as if the share capital had been converted into no par value shares as at the start of the prior year.
