* NAV of
$243.7 million (FYE 28/02/25: $274.6 million)
* Total
proceeds from realised investments and escrow receipts of $2.3 million (FYE
28/02/25: $47.4 million)
* The US and
European micro-cap portfolios were down a combined 6 cents per share for the
six-month period. The Company continues to work towards further realisations
in both portfolios.
* The Company
has two remaining properties with equity value: Esperante, an office building
in West Palm Beach, Florida, and 247 Bedford Avenue, a retail building with
Apple as the primary tenant, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Investment Policy and Liquidity
* Since the
Company adopted its current investment policy in August 2020, the Company has
achieved realisations in excess of $500 million, repaid approximately $270
million of debt and returned $70 million of capital to shareholders.
* Future
returns of capital depend on further realisations, with only modest activity
expected in the near term and most portfolio value likely to be realised
towards the end of the wind-down period.
* As at 31
August 2025, the Company is debt free and had approximately $77 million of
cash and treasuries and a reduced but still substantial investment portfolio
of approximately $166 million.
* In line
with the Company’s investment policy, certain assets within the portfolio
will require significant further investment and time to maximise their value:
*
The Company has reserved $20.5 million for Follow-on Flex
Pack (through JZHL Secondary Fund LP), of which $12.3 million has been
invested.
*
The Company has reserved the following amounts for
certain other existing assets: approximately $12.5 million for Esperante, of
which $9 million has been invested; $15 million for Spruceview; and $20
million for capital calls from JZI Fund III, L.P., including an anticipated
requirement for further support.
David Macfarlane, Chairman of JZCP, said:
“The Company
remains in a strong financial position, having returned approximately $70
million to shareholders to date. The Board and Investment Adviser remain
focused on executing the Company’s investment policy, maximising the value
of remaining investments, ensuring their orderly realisation, and returning
capital to shareholders.”
