UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM RESULTS

KINGSWALK INVESTMENTS LIMITED

("Kingswalk", "the Company" or "the Group")

 

UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

 

Kingswalk Investments Limited (AIM: KWI), the strategic investment Group, today announces its unaudited consolidated results for the six months ended 30 June 2011.

 

DIRECTORS' REVIEW

 

Overview

 

We are pleased to present the Company's consolidated unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 June 2011 to shareholders. During this period, the Company raised its first tranche of new equity (£800,000 before expenses) from strategic investors interested in the Company's investment strategy. During the period, the Company made a number of new investments and continued to support its legacy investments held over from the previous year.

 

As a result of the investment in CMS Corporate Consultants Limited ("CMS") in January, the Company is reporting consolidated results, including 100% of the results of CMS since the investment date.

 

Summary of investments

 

CMS, the London based corporate consultants to growth companies, performed in line with expectations, trading profitably on net revenues of £234,000 during the period of ownership (£500,000 for the year ended December 2010). Over the last few months, CMS has made some important hires of high quality professionals, the benefit of which is expected to come through in the second half of the year.

 

The Board was pleased to report that the Company made a number of investments in small cap UK quoted stocks totalling approximately £300,000 during the period, the collective value of which had increased by almost 10% at the period end. In addition, the Company held some smaller investments in European stocks, the collective value of which had, unfortunately, fallen at the period end, partially negating the strong gains made on the UK stocks.

 

The Company maintains its position in Vermeesch Installaties BV ("Vermeesch"), the Rotterdam-based security equipment installation and maintenance firm acquired in September 2010. Trading remains challenging for Vermeesch in its sector and the directors are currently undertaking an operational review of its business in order to improve its working capital. Further updates on its performance over the second half of 2011 will be made in due course.

 

Financial review

 

The Company generated a loss for the period of £111,459 (H1 2010: £71,993). The loss was primarily a result of fees associated with the £800,000 subscription in January and additional administration and consultancy fees incurred in making the investments to date. On a like for like basis (excluding CMS and the costs of the subscription), expenses incurred during the period totalled £113,513 compared to £57,070 in the same period in the previous year. Expenses in the second half of the current financial year are expected to be materially lower than the first half. Loss per share for the period reduced to (0.13) pence (H1 2010: (0.17) pence).

 

The carrying value of the Company's investments were £549,000 at the period end (H1 2010: 49,640) and the Company had net current assets, primarily in the form of trade debtors and cash of £273,529 (H1 2010: (£25,515)).

 

In January 2011, the Company raised £800,000 before expenses through the issue of 40,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Subscription Shares") via a subscription at 2 pence per Subscription Share to existing and new shareholders. In line with the Company's broad investment strategy, the directors have invested the net proceeds in private and quoted companies across a wide range of sectors, including financial services, support services and resources.

 

Current trading and outlook

 

The Directors are constantly in discussions with its panel of advisers about making new investments and recycling existing holdings. Whilst equity and debt capital markets remain tough for small quoted and unquoted stocks, the directors believe the Company is well placed to take advantage of investment opportunities.

 

The directors would like to thank its shareholders for their continued support to the Group over the recent periods and anticipate being able to deliver some more positive news over the coming months.
