   Chairman’s Statement

    

   Macro Background/Outlook

    

   After a first half  correction, the US market  markets (in particular  the
   Tech led Nasdaq) have continued to reach for Infinity and Beyond, although
   it is  the DJII  and S7P  500  that have  reached new  all time  highs  as
   investors rotate out  of Tech. Whilst  interest rates are  finally on  the
   decline as the Fed lowers rates, it is too early to assess how much damage
   may have been done to economic components such as Real Estate where,  both
   in the USA and Europe, commercial real estate prices are in full retreat.

    

   As pointed  out  in  last  year’s  Interims,  Niall  Fergusson,  Bloomberg
   columnist and the Milbank Family  Senior Fellow at the Hoover  Institution
   at Stanford University wrote…As Humpty Dumpty says to Alice: “When I use a
   word, it means just  what I choose  it to mean —  neither more nor  less.”
   Inflation has been above target for nearly two and a half years.  Whenever
   it returns to 2%, we’ll be told: “That’s what we meant by transitory!”

    

   The Company’s Board  is still in  the “Markets are  overvalued camp”,  and
   believe that Central Bank fiddling and tinkering will eventually result in
   the likelihood of stagflation in the UK and Europe and, if they get lucky,
   only recession in US, but possibly worse in Europe.

    

   Recessions have a  habit of  creeping up  on one  and then  falling off  a
   cliff.  Past  downturns  have  taken  longer  than  expected  to  manifest
   themselves but when they arrive they  invariable bring pain and a dose  of
   sanity back to markets as they adjust to the new “normal”.

    

   I stand by my earlier statement that that the Fed and ECB are still behind
   the curve. Their efforts to curb inflation have, in my opinion, ironically
   caused rates to stay higher for longer. We are, therefore, sceptical  that
   the Fed  can  engineer a  Soft  landing.  In our  opinion,  the  prolonged
   increase in interest  rates has severely  damaged commercial and  personal
   property prices in the US, UK  and Europe (the greatest store of  personal
   value for most families), which is likely to result in a substantial stock
   market correction … that I and other (older!) participants have alluded to
   for some time.

    

   As at the  time of  writing, the  Buffet Indicator,  which compares  total
   market capitalisation to  GDP stands  at 200%, indicating  that the  Stock
   Market is  Significantly  Overvalued and  that  a reversion  to  the  mean
   (barring any overshoot!) would indicate a potential 30% to 50% decline  in
   US markets from current levels. I do  not believe that this is a  question
   of “if” the markets will correct, but “when” will they correct.

    

   Add to the above scenario the European issues of “Corporate Obsolescence”,
   specifically the Auto industry, and we have the makings of potential  mass
   unemployment in Germany,  offset by increased  Government spending,  which
   reminds me very much of the Weimar Republic (1918 – 1933). I realise  that
   this is an unpopular  position to take  but a closer  look at the  growing
   problems in Western  Society should really  temper political and  economic
   complacency. Both the US and  Europe have major migration problems,  which
   the US Democrats have generally ignored  and the Republicans wish to  deal
   with using force. Whilst in Europe, “Angela Merkel (aka “Mutti”)  used her
   dominant position in  the EU  to ‘persuade’  member States  to open  their
   borders to the influx of migrants…until  now that is when Chancellor  Olaf
   Scholz’s Government having lost two regional elections in Eastern  Germany
   has closed German  Boarders to ‘illegal’  migrants, and in  France, in  an
   effort to  repel the  Far  Right, the  new  Barnier Government  have  also
   announced that migration is at the top of their Task List.

    

   And whilst  the migrant  problem becomes  increasingly complex,  Germany’s
   massive exposure  to ICE  powered cars  (internal combustion  engine)  and
   uncompetitive EV cars is estimated to result in a possible 50% decline  in
   auto related jobs from 830,000 (which does not include a further  300,000+
   people employed in support industries) to 400,000 by 2030.

    

   Warren Buffett is well known for  saying that ‘one should be fearful  when
   others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful’.

    

   Conclusion…

   In our opinion, now is  not the time to  be greedy…peak earnings and  peak
   stock prices do not make for a good entry point when buying stocks.

    

    

   Operations

    

   Real Estate

   Hastings

    

   Works to remove asbestos have now  been completed and the tenant that  had
   moved into the former  Restaurant has been  evicted for taking  possession
   without a contract and in breach  of the Head Lease covenants. Removal  of
   the illegal  occupants  required  legal  action  and  took  over  a  year.
   Unfortunately the tenant only conceded the week Court proceedings were due
   to commence.  Whilst Hastings  is now  structurally ready  for  occupancy,
   substantial electrical wiring is now required to ensure that the  building
   is compliant with today’s regulatory requirements. On a positive note, the
   departure of a number of smaller  tenants now gives us the opportunity  to
   attract a larger tenant at current market rates rather than the historical
   discounted rates. Securing a Nationally recognised tenant would also  have
   a significant, positive impact on the Book Value of the Property.

    

   Bristol

    

   We are  in the  process of  retaining  an agent  to sell  the  Brislington
   Property. The agent  has indicated  a sales price  in excess  of our  Book
   Value, which has resulted  in an upward revaluation  in these accounts  to
   reflect some, but not all of the increased potential sales value.

    

   Stafford

    

   We recently withdrew  from the sale  of our Stafford  property due to  the
   buyers constant  excuses  for delayed  completion.  In the  meantime,  the
   rental market  has firmed  and recent  rent increases  give us  reason  to
   believe that we can achieve an improved sales price.

    

   Holdings

    

    1. DCI Advisors Ltd (DCI LN)

    

    2 https://www.dciadvisorsltd.com/index.html

    

   As at  June 30  2024, ALNA  owned 2.99%  of DCI  Advisors Ltd.,  which  is
   focused on the  development of  luxury leisure properties  in the  Eastern
   Mediterranean, Greece, Cyprus and Croatia).

    

   The Company’s  trophy asset  is  a Golf  and  Leisure development  on  the
   outskirts of  Porto Cheli  in the  Peloponnese. Porto  Cheli is  currently
   going through a development boom, including 3 major projects - a new  Four
   Seasons Hotel and Private villa, Beach resort in Hinitsa Bay, adjacent  to
   Porto Cheli fronted by Irish Billionaire Paul Coulson; a Six Senses  Hotel
   Resort and a Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

    

   In the past few days,  DCI also announced that the  sale of the Livka  Bay
   property should complete in the coming weeks.

    

   On a less positive note, the company is up to its neck in litigation  with
   the founder and former manager of the Group. Further, the Company’s shares
   are suspended as accounts have not been filed.

    

    2. HEIQ plc (HEIQ LN)

    

    3 https://www.heiq.com/investors/

    

   HEIQ continues to drag and has now fallen  from a 2021 high of ~244p to  a
   current level of 5.5p, a decline of  97.5%, and a decline of 89% from  the
   Company’s Main Market listing price of 50p/share.

    

   2020 and 2021 accounts have been restated and instead of the profits  that
   the Company  had previously  announced, which  drove the  share price  up,
   restated 2021 results showed a  loss versus a previously announced  profit
   whilst losses in  2022 ballooned  as the  Company took  a $13m  impairment
   charge and had to reverse $4m of revenues.

    

   The fact that the Company’s  Directors thought it conservative or  prudent
   to use stage of  completion accounting rather  than cash accounting  where
   revenues are only booked when invoiced, beggars belief.

    

    Quote from the Executive Director, “Previously, we had recognized revenue
   from these contracts at the point  in time of achieving certain  technical
   development milestones. However, upon further review, we concluded that it
   is appropriate  to recognize  such  revenues over  time to  coincide  with
   specific exclusivity

   rights being granted by HeiQ to the partners. Consequently, total  revenue
   of US$4.0  million has  been deferred  over a  period of  four years  with
   initial revenues being recognized in H2 2022.”

    

   Sadly this statement indicates  that the Company is  still using stage  of
   completion accounting rather  than the  more conservative  and, given  the
   appalling results, prudent cash accounting convention.

    

   Conclusion

    

   As I write the Fed has cut its benchmark rate by half a point, which would
   indicate that they are concerned about the weakness of the US economy, and
   most importantly about flagging  employment numbers. A  half point cut  is
   also significant as it indicates that  the Fed may, as we have  previously
   suggested, be behind the curve. The  coming months, culminating in the  US
   Presidential election will  probably be  volatile as was  the Market’s  1%
   positive knee-jerk reaction  to the 0.5%  rate cut before  it fizzled  and
   turned into losses for all 3 major US Indices.

    

   We are concerned by, in our opinion, the extreme over-valuation of the  US
   Stock, and RealEstate Markets  and the enormous  over-hang of US  consumer
   credit, which gets far too little mention these days.

    

   Whilst we are  pleased to  report improved  results for  the period  under
   review, we believe  that the second  half of the  year will pose  multiple
   headwinds and will focus our efforts  on raising cash from property  sales
   and by monitoring and managing our other assets as best we can.

   Financial Review

   Total income for the 1H 2024 period was £503k (1H 2023: £(286)k). This was
   supported by the  strong performance of  financial holdings,  particularly
   the largest short position in Tesla (TSLA).

   Gross Rental Income  declined by  27% due  to increased  vacancy rates  at
   Hastings, the sale of Shaw in April 2023 during the comparative period and
   tenant issues at  a Brislington property  partially caused by  scaffolding
   erected for work on the Landlord’s adjacent building.

   Cost of  sales reduced  from £148k  to £21k,  driven by  a service  charge
   credit of £132k at Hastings within Property operating expenses. The credit
   related to service  charges at vacant  units for required  work which  had
   been invoiced in 2022  and 2023. As  the work has not  yet been done,  the
   property management company  had to refund  this to units  that had  paid,
   including Nos 4 Limited’s vacant units.

   The Board has reassessed  the carrying value  of Brislington and  revalued
   this property up  +£200,000 to  £1,362,500. The  revaluation reflects  the
   selling agent’s estimated sale value, less fees and contingencies.

   At Hastings, following the refurbishment and removal of asbestos, a  claim
   for expenditure  plus costs  has now  been submitted  to Sainsbury’s,  the
   owner of Argos, per the ‘full repairing lease’.

   During the period under review Book Value increased 7.0% to 23.4p/shr from
   21.9p/shr as at 31 December 2023.

   Investments have been valued incorporating Level 1 inputs in accordance
   with IFRS7. They are a combination of cash and securities held with the
   listed broker.

   Financial instruments require classification  of fair value as  determined
   by reference to the source of inputs  used to derive the fair value.  This
   classification uses the following three-level hierarchy:

   Level 1  — quoted  prices  (unadjusted) in  active markets  for  identical
   assets or liabilities;

   Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
   observable for the asset or  liability, either directly (i.e., as  prices)
   or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices);

   Level 3  —  inputs for  the  asset or  liability  that are  not  based  on
   observable market data (unobservable inputs).

   6. Lease liabilities

   In the above table, interest represents the difference between the
   carrying amount and the contractual liability/cash flow. All leases expire
   in more than five years.

    

   7. Taxation

   The tax charge for the period under review was nil (1H 2023: nil). The
   Group has substantial carried forward trading losses and capital losses
   available. Accordingly, no provision for corporation tax has been made in
   these accounts.

   It is not anticipated that sufficient profits from the residual business
   will be generated in the foreseeable future to utilise the losses carried
   forward, therefore no asset for unrelieved tax losses has been recognised
   in these accounts. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are
   recognised only to the extent that is it probable that they will be
   recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future
   taxable profits.
