Half Yearly Report

KENNEDY VENTURES PLC

 

Interim statement for the 6 months ended 31 December 2012

 

Chairman's Statement

 

As shareholders will be aware, Kennedy Ventures plc (the "Company") is now an investing company with a brief to make investments or seek a reverse acquisition with a focus mainly on the energy and resources sectors.

During the latter part of last year, we made one such investment, investing $85,000 by way of loan and equity in Bison Energy Services Limited, a company established to invest principally in the supply of frac sand to the US fracking industry and which has acquired high grade deposits in Wisconsin, USA. We continue to regard this as an exciting investment. We understand that Bison is now close to the next stage of its development though, for regulatory and confidentiality reasons, we are not able to give further detail at this time.

We have continued to seek and review investments and larger transactions since then and have a number currently under review.

Although the Company underwent a restructuring, including a CVA, in May 2012, the cost and time involved in resolving historic issues since then has been rather greater than expected. However, these matters are now close to being finally resolved and the Company has taken steps to reduce its costs since the period end.

We hope to have news of further value enhancing transactions in the near future.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the period ended 31 December 2012

1

GENERAL INFORMATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 31 December 2012. The interim financial report, which has not been audited or reviewed, has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted for use in the European Union.

The information for the period ended 30 June 2012 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those accounts: their report contained the following words:

"Basis of qualified opinion

With respect to the result on disposal of discontinued operations relating to the MSS Building Services and Compliance

divisions and the associated consolidated results to the date of disposal as described in the basis of preparation and note 9

to the financial statements, the audit evidence available to us was limited because we were unable to access the accounting

records of those divisions up to the date of disposal. Owing to the nature of those divisions' records, we were unable to

obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the disclosure of consolidated results up to the date of disposal and

associated profits on disposal by using other audit procedures.

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph, the

financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 30 June 2012 and of the

group's loss for the period then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Emphasis of matter - basis other than going concern

In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not qualified in this respect, we have considered the adequacy of

the disclosure made on the basis of preparation in Note 2 concerning the preparation of the financial statements on a basis

other than going concern."

but was otherwise unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in the condensed set of financial statements as applied in the Group's latest audited financial statements, except as described below.

Going concern

The Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2

BUSINESS, GEOGRAPHICAL AND SEGMENTAL REPORTING

The Group's operations were only in the United Kingdom. Following the disposal of the Group's Compliance division, the cessation of operations at its Interior Contractors division, the sale of the Building Services division and the complete change in directors at the time of the CVA's approval, the results reported in the Consolidated Income Statement relate solely to Head Office costs from the time of approval of the CVA. The Building Services segment, Interior Contracts segment and the Compliance segment are now reported under Discontinued operations.

3

TAX

Corporation tax charge for the six month period has been estimated at £nil (six months ended 30 September 2011: £nil). No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to the losses in the period.
