UNAUDITED HALF-YEARLY REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

As at 30 June 2010 the Company had cash balances of £1,027,193(31 December 2009: £1,096,141).

 

The Company has sought to guard its cash resources in difficult prevailing economic climate, whilst continuing to evaluate potential investments and transactions.

 

With the ongoing recovery in the economic cycle, we remain cautiously confident that the opportunities available to, and prospects for, Tembusu can continue to improve for the remainder of 2010 and into 2011.

 

Investing Policy

 

The Company's Investing Policy is to focus on identifying and acquiring quoted and unquoted financial services businesses based in Asia, though other geographical areas will be considered should appropriate opportunities occur which could benefit the Company. By actively investing in businesses with complementary areas of expertise, which may for example include real estate, mortgage financing and other such activities, the Directors believe that it is possible to generate considerable opportunities for the cross selling of services between the different operations and countries. The Directors also intend to continue to make minority investments in such financial services businesses where it would be a passive investor but where those investments provide the opportunity for enhancing the growth prospects of the Company. 

 

In regard to the acquisitions that the Company expects to make, the Directors may adopt earn-out structures, with specific performance targets being set for the sellers of the businesses acquired, and with suitable metrics applied.

 

The Company may invest by way of outright acquisition or by the acquisition of assets, including the intellectual property, of a relevant business, partnerships or joint venture arrangements. Such investments may result in the Company acquiring the whole or part of a company (which in the case of an investment in a company may be private or listed on a stock exchange, and which may be pre-revenue), and such investments may constitute a minority stake in the company or project in question. The Company's investments may take the form of equity, joint venture debt, convertible instruments, licence rights, or other financial instruments as the Directors deem appropriate.

 

The Company will be both an active and a passive investor and the Directors will place no minimum or maximum limit on the length of time that any investment may be held.

 

There is no limit to the number of projects into which the Company may invest, nor the proportion of the Company's gross assets that any investment may represent at any time and the Company will consider possible opportunities anywhere in the world.

 

There are no borrowing limits in the Articles of Association of the Company. The Directors do not intend to acquire any cross-holdings in other corporate entities that have an interest in the ordinary shares.

 

There are no restrictions in the type of investment that the Company might make nor on the type of opportunity that may be considered other than set out in this Investing Policy.

 

As the Company's ordinary shares are traded on AIM this provides a facility for shareholders to realise their investment in the Company. In addition, the Directors may consider from time to time other means of facilitating returns to shareholders including dividends, share repurchases, demergers, schemes of arrangement or liquidation.
