Oak Holdings PLC

Oak Holdings PLC (the "Company" or the "Group")

(being renamed Pires Investments PLC)

Preliminary results to 31 October 2011

Directors' Statement

This report covers the results for the year to 31 October 2011, which has been a difficult year for the Company.

The results of the Group for the year ended 31 October 2011 are set out below. The results have been prepared, as before, under IFRS therefore activities which have been discontinued in the year (property development, consultancy and operations connected with the Rother Valley Country Park) are shown as a single net result line at the bottom of the results table. In addition the prior year's results are restated on the same basis.

The results to 31 October 2011 show a loss of GBP571,654 from continuing activities on revenue of GBP54,587 (2010 restated: GBP651,089 on GBP63,855) and a total loss for the period of GBP1,779,886 after a loss on discontinued activities of GBP1,208,232 (2010: GBP11,482,060 after GBP10,830,971 for discontinued activities).

The Company announced on 24 January 2011 that Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council ("RMBC") terminated the development agreement pursuant to which the Company was progressing the development of the YES! Project on land owned by RMBC.

Following this termination and the resignation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the board concluded that the Company would no longer continue the activities of property development or consultancy but would focus on, and expand its activities in, the leisure sector.

On 21 October 2011 the Company announced that RMBC terminated the interim management agreement under which the Group was managing the Rother Valley Country Park which at that time was the Group's major source of revenue.

Within continuing activities, Ringwood Town and Country Experience Limited had a poor year reflecting a continuing inability for the Group to invest in marketing. Oak Heritage Limited continued to trade at around breakeven - the major operation continued to be the refurbishment of a further Hispano Suiza.

In discontinued activities, the major element of the loss arose from the making of a provision of GBP1,153,740 against the value of the A57 land which has, in the absence of any activity on the YES! Project site, little value above the bare agricultural value at which it is being sold back to the vendor.

Rother Valley Country Park Limited ("RVCP") and Rother Valley Steam Railway Limited traded profitably before inter group management charges up to the time of the termination of the interim management agreement. The termination of the agreement and the terms on which it occurred meant that a number of assets of that company had to be provided against as they either had no continuing value to the Group or were taken without compensation by RMBC pursuant to the agreement.

The appropriate provisions to write down these assets and provide for the termination of various trading contracts that RVCP had entered into led to the RVCP operations reporting a loss overall for the year.

On 21 October 2011 and as a consequence of the above events the Company requested that trading in its shares on AIM be suspended pending clarification of the Company's financial position. Since that date the Company has continued to seek to raise funds in order to further the Company's objectives.

In early 2012 the board was approached with a view to an investment of new equity by new investors provided the Company became an investing company and undertook inter alia a creditors' voluntary arrangement. The directors concluded that this was the best approach for creditors and members of the Company. The alternative was liquidation of the Company with little expectation of any return to unsecured creditors and no return to shareholders. Accordingly, the Company set out proposals in a circular to shareholders dated 22 March 2012. At a general meeting of the Company held 16 April 2012 all resolutions were passed, including the approval of a CVA, the disposal of remaining trading assets of the Company and adoption of an investing policy. The Company is being renamed Pires Investments PLC. The disposal of the remaining trading assets of the Company was also completed on 16 April 2012.

Following the general meeting the Company will have no significant liabilities and has, as announced, raised GBP1 million through a placing of new shares to fund the CVA and to pursue the Company's newly approved investing policy.

4 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS NOTE

Following the termination of the main property development by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council in January 2011 and of the management agreement in respect of the Rother Valley Country Park in October 2011 and following the termination of discussions with an external investor for an equity investment, the directors took insolvency advice. As a consequence on 23rd March 2012 the directors entered into a CVA agreement which is offering creditors 5p in the GBP in cash and 5p in the GBP in new ordinary shares of 0.1p at an issue price of 0.125p per share.

The directors have also secured new funding via a private placing which has raised just over GBP1m before costs in association with the approval of the adoption of an investment policy and the disposal or liquidation of the remaining subsidiaries. The CVA has just been approved at meetings of the creditors and the shareholders and the shareholders at a general meeting approved the issuance of new shares, the adoption of the new investment policy, the disposal of the subsidiaries and the change of the company's name to Pires Investments plc.

On 16 April 2012, the Company disposed of the entire issued share capitals of Rother Valley Steam Railway Limited and Oak Heritage Limited and the business and assets of Ringwood Town and Country Experience Limited in consideration of the release of certain secured indebtedness of the Company.

5 STATUS OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information set out in this preliminary announcement has not been audited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at 31 October 2011 and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and associated notes for the year then ended have been extracted from the Group's 2011 draft unaudited statutory financial statements on which the auditors expect to give an unqualified report, but with a statement drawing attention to the use of the going concern basis for the accounts.
