Emerging UK Investments Plc
("EUKI" or "the Company")
Chairman's Statement
Preliminary Financial Results for the period from incorporation to 31st May 2005
I am pleased to be able to announce the results for the period ended
31 May 2005.
The Board are broadly pleased with the progress of the Company.
EUKI's investment strategy is to exit if a profit is achievable. A successful
disposal at a profit has been made by disposing of the major part of the holding
in Skin Health Spa plc, though this is a post balance sheet event. We are
currently working on the disposal of two other investments.
Unless a partial disposal of an investment is imminent, your Board has taken the
decision to write down many of the Company's investments. This reflects the fact
that EUKI holds assets in early stage, unquoted companies which are currently
loss making, and are therefore, difficult to value. Consequently, your Board has
written down the book value of EUKI's investments by #504,000. At year-end the
overall carrying value of investments was #725,000 and the Company recorded a
loss of #616,000. Unfortunately, one investee company, Charolais Investment
Company Limited, has been placed into Administration.
The current position on other investee companies is as follows :
Aerodeon Limited - this company is trading in line with expectation and the
company intends to seek a quotation on OFEX in the near future. This may enable
EUKI to make a partial disposal of its holding should this prove to be an
attractive opportunity.
@Cost Building Limited - this company has recently made an acquisition of
another building contractor. However losses to date have led your Board to write
down this investment.
Valley Schools Group plc - these shares have recently been purchased by third
party investors using the trading platform 535x at a premium to the current book
value. However, the company continues to make losses and a provision has been
made against this investment.
Jumbo Sites Limited - this company is dormant and therefore a full provision has
been made.
Charolais Investment Company Limited - the company is in Administration and
therefore a full provision has been made.
The Treatment Centre Company plc - in your Board's view, the company is making
good progress and EUKI intends to maintain its holding at present.
Skin Health Spa plc - the company obtained an Ofex quotation in February 2005.
EUKI has disposed of the majority of its investment, making a profit on disposal
after the year end.
Business Golf Corporation Limited - this company has experienced difficult
trading and your Board decided to make a provision against this investment.
Swilken Holdings Limited - the company is now dormant and it was decided to make
a full provision against this investment.
Warmways Healthcare Holdings plc - the company has recently focussed on
licensing its technology to blue chip clients and in order to fund this
development a new investment has been made at a lower valuation than the
previous book value. It was decided to make a provision against the book value
to reflect this lower valuation.
Drug Treatment Holdings plc - The Company is in the process of disposing of its
stake in this investment.
Post Balance Sheet activity:
The Company has completed three new investments since the year end:
Bfresh Limited - an expanding vending machine operator with agreements with a
number of leading health clubs such as Fitness First. The Company has invested
#70,000 in Bfresh.
Forknall Limited - The Company has invested #22,000 into Forknall to acquire an
equity interest of 13%. Forknall is a Leicester-based manufacturer, supplier and
installer of fencing, balconies, internal balustrades and gates made from
timber, steel and concrete.
Skin Health Spa plc - an additional investment has been made into this company.
The Company is in the process of making an investment in Viatrade plc, an Ofex
quoted investment company which holds a number of unquoted investments.
I am generally pleased with progress at Emerging UK Investments plc, the balance
sheet is strong and the cash balance on 31 October 2005 has increased from the
year end. Your Board continues to look for investment opportunities which will
enhance shareholder value in the medium term. In addition we are constantly
reviewing the exit strategy of our investments so that we can maximise our cash
gains. I hope to be able to report to you shortly further progress made by your
Company.
