VERTU CAPITAL LIMITED
CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2020
I have pleasure in presenting the consolidated interim financial statements of Vertu Capital Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary (collectively referred as the "Group") for the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020.
During the financial period, the Group reported a net loss of £52,536 (0.04p per share). As at 30 June 2020, the Group had cash in bank balance of £253,689.
In the last six months, the Company could not explore any opportunities owing to the adverse economic condition arising from the Covid-19 pandemic that affected the global economy. However the board has been in discussion with several potential acquisition targets but all are in early stage of discussion. The Company remain actively looking to identify other suitable target companies or businesses.
I look forward to seeing better progress with the potential target acquisitions in the next few months with gratitude to our shareholders, for their continued support.
Kiat Wai Du
Non-Executive Chairman
30 September 2020
The main expense for the Group is its legal and professional costs. The management intends to monitor and control this to be cost efficient and minimise its net loss before a suitable acquisition.
The COVID-19 outbreak has not had a significant impact to the Group's position to date. The evolution of this pandemic is closely being monitored, including how it may affect the Group, the economy and the general population.
The Board looks forward to providing further updates to shareholders in due course and actively reviewed a number of potential acquisition opportunities across the sector, none of which has met the necessary criteria for selection.
