Chairman's Statement

I have pleasure in presenting our interim report for the period to 30 June 2012.

The Group incurred a loss for the period of £869,000, which relates largely to the continued implementation of the Company's investing policy. The Group has been generating revenue from August 2012, due to the major transportation contract owned by the Company's sole investment, Nova Trans LLC ("Nova Trans"), which will operate for an initial period to 2014 (the " Contract").

On 14 February 2012, the Company consolidated its investment in Nova Trans by acquiring the outstanding 300 issued shares in Nova Mongolia Corp Pte Limited, the parent company of Nova Logistics Holdings Limited (formerly Salins Limited) and Nova Trans LLC (formerly ZHCH Mining LLC).

Since January 2012, we have raised £975,000 by way of subscriptions for newly issued share capital. Together with our credit facilities announced previously, this has provided capital to enable Nova Trans to commence operations and develop an infrastructure to service the Contract. Such commencement was announced on 24 May 2012, following the acquisition of 16 trucks and 32 trailers funded by the Group.

The Group is exploring further sources of finance to expand the number of trucks and trailers operated by Nova Trans, to enable more transportation contracts to be won. In addition, we are confident that further investment opportunities in the Mongolian region will become available, and we will keep shareholders updated on any new developments accordingly.
