HERMES PACIFIC INVESTMENTS PLC

(AIM: HPAC)

Final results for the year ended 31 March 2015

Hermes Pacific Investments Plc today reports its financial results for the year ended 31 March 2015.

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report the results of Hermes Pacific Investments Plc ("HPAC" or the "Company") for the 12- month period ended 31 March 2015. During the year, the Company had no revenues as it does not have any operating business and the Company made a loss of £115,000, which has been reduced from a recorded loss of £117,000 during the previous financial year. We have continued to focus on our cost base and aim to keep it low particularly whilst we are in the process of looking for suitable investments. At the year-end the Company had net assets of £4,117,000.

Review of the Company's Operations

The Company is an investing company and has made some investments in line with its investing policy in companies involved in financial activities within the emerging market sector. Our principal focus is in the Far East as we believe that there are good growth opportunities in that part of the world. These investments have performed in line with our expectations. We are in a strong position from a Balance Sheet perspective and our cash balance as at 31 March 2015 stands at £4,008 million. We continue to evaluate other suitable opportunities in emerging markets and with our strong Balance Sheet expect to make further investments in the near future. Our total comprehensive loss for the year was £101,000 compared to a loss of £183,000 for the previous financial year.

Emerging markets are becoming increasingly attractive for foreign direct investment and do offer cost-effective investment opportunities for businesses that are persistent and willing to take a long-term view. These markets are expected to continue to increase its spending over the coming years. The economies in the Far East have shown increasing resilience and this region has been an engine of global economic growth whist the developed markets have been in some distress. Most emerging markets are expected to continue to enjoy growth rates that are far superior to that of developed markets. Political events in these countries have to date not significantly affected appetite for investment.

Outlook

We remain in a strong position to take advantage of suitable investment opportunities as they arise and look forward to the future with confidence.
