Interim Results 2011

Oak Holdings plc ("Oak", the "Company" or the "Group"), the leisure business operator, announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 April 2011.

Chairman's Statement

Introduction

Part of my Chairman's statement of the 28th April 2011 reported on the need to decrease overheads so as to increase profits of our businesses. Substantial overhead cuts have been achieved both at the management and at the operating end of the business. Those cuts had no significant effect on the figures during the interim period under review but had been fully completed by the end of the period and hence will have a positive impact on the ensuing 6 months.

Results

The Company's results for the 6 months ended 30 April 2011 were a loss on ordinary activities before taxation of £209,360 (2010: loss of £131,410). Results are in line with the Board's expectations and derive largely from the seasonality of the leisure business with the first six months trading being mainly Winter (and an enforced closure due to inaccessibility caused by deep snow) and an increased level of Group overhead compared to the same period in 2010 which, as stated above, has been reduced during the period. In addition, the Group no longer capitalises financing costs associated with the A57 land as technically this is no longer in the course of development following the termination of the YES! Project by Rotherham Metropolitan Council as previously reported. This has also worsened the result for the period. The board continues to investigate all the circumstances leading to the decision by the Council to terminate the development agreement and will report any significant findings to shareholders in due course.

Net assets at 30 April 2011 were £0.217 million (31 October 2010: £0.425 million). At that time, the group had limited cash resources and significant creditors as was reported in my statement with the accounts to 31 October 2010. Since that time, the reduced overhead level referred to above, constructive discussions with a number of creditors and the seasonal increase in income have all improved this position.

Outlook and current trading

Some capital investment has been made both at the Rother Valley Country Park and at the Ringwood Town and Country Experience resulting in a modest upturn in footfall, bookings and income, but the outlook for the group's businesses remains challenging.

Your board continues to look to carefully grow the leisure businesses. Your board is seeking to add further substantial attractions within its current businesses, a number of which are awaiting Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council's "in principle" approval, a response for which is expected shortly. The board is also looking to build a portfolio of leisure parks. These developments, with continued attention to reducing overheads, are expected to generate growth and intrinsic shareholder value. I look forward to updating shareholders shortly.

.

4. LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the following data:

The exercise of the outstanding options and warrants at 30 April 2011 would result in the Company issuing shares at a value in excess of the average market price and are therefore not dilutive. At that date, there were potentially 91,428 ordinary shares that could be issued under the terms of options, and 2,021,791 warrants, that will potentially reduce future earnings per share.
