CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
On 9 June 2010, Northwest Investment Group Ltd. ("NWIG" or "the Company") raised £3 million from investors and was successfully admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
During the first half of 2015, we closely examined more than three projects for possible investment and as part of this, in early 2015, we started a due diligence exercise on one particular energy project. However negotiations over this project were suspended due to communication issues encountered in the preparation of documentation. At the same time, there was a strong performance in the Chinese stock market in the first half of 2015, which weakened the motivation of two hydropower companies which had been exploring the possibility of raising money on the London Stock Exchange through a combination with the Company. Despite these continued setbacks, the board continues its endeavours to select and search for high-quality assets to be injected into NWIG.
At the Company's annual general meeting held on 20 July 2015, shareholders approved the Company's Investing Policy in preference to a potential liquidation.

9 EARNING PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic earning per share is based on the profits attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.
The calculation of diluted earning per share is based on the basic earning per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares and the post tax effect of dividends and/or interest, on the assumed conversion of all dilutive options and other dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Reconciliation of the earning and weighted average number of share used in the calculations are set out below.
