("Limitless" or the "Company")
UNAUDITED HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 JULY 2017
The Company is pleased to announce its half-yearly result for the six months
to 31 July 2017.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S STATEMENT
Limitless is a proactive investing company that focuses on making investments
in and assisting companies that show the potential to generate returns through
capital appreciation. The directors look to make investments into small
companies which have clear routes to value appreciation and which operate in
sectors with long term growth prospects that are driven by demographic
change. Examples of such sectors include Cleantech, Life Sciences and
Technology.
During the reporting period, the Company invested £239,000, by way of 10
per cent. senior secured notes plus equity option, in Saxa Gres S.p.A
(“Saxa Gres”), a company specialising in Industrial Material Recycling and
Waste to Energy. The investment was made on the basis of progress made by Saxa
Gres in having developed its production process. As previously announced,
Saxa Gres is operating at full capacity having completed a re-start process
and having hired more than 70 workers. More recently, Saxa Gres announced that
it has refined it manufacturing process sufficiently such that it will start
incorporating incinerator ashes in its tile composition from November 2017.
Tile produced will be targeted for large city restructuring projects and
management of Saxa Gres have stated that it expects these sales to contribute
significantly to management’s revenue forecasts which more than double the
2017 year end estimates in the financial year for 2018.
The Company is also pleased to advise that its investee company, V-Nova, has
won further international praise for its next-generation V-Nova PERSEUS™ 2
codec which was awarded ‘Best Digital Video Processing Technology’ at this
year’s CSI Awards.
The all other current investments are progressing in line with management
expectations. The Board continues to actively source suitable investments and
thanks all the shareholders for their support.
The Board understands as per previous years, that cost control is important at
all times and on behalf of the shareholders, the directors carefully keep
operating costs to a minimum to preserve shareholder value.
For the period, Limitless made a net loss on operations of £61,320 (2016:
£65,477) and the unaudited balance sheet reflects the cash and cash
equivalents, having made a further investment in the period of £239,208, at

Exchange. The address of the registered office is 30 Percy Street, London W1T
2DB.
The principal activity of the Company is that of an investing company pursuing
a strategy
2. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been
applied consistently throughout the period covered by these financial
statements.
Basis of preparation
The interim financial information set out above does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared on
a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement
criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention.
The interim financial information for the six months ended 31 July 2017 has
not been reviewed or audited. The interim financial report has been approved
by the Board on 30 October 2017.
3. Loss per share
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed using the same weighted average number of shares during the period
adjusted for the dilutive effect of share warrants and convertible loans
outstanding during the period.

Basic and fully diluted loss per share from continuing operations (0.10) (0.10) (0.22)
IAS 33 requires presentation of diluted earnings per share when a company
could be called upon to issue shares that would decrease earnings per share or
increase net loss per share. For a loss making company with outstanding share
options and warrants, net loss per share would only be increased by the
exercise of out-of-the money options and warrants. Since it seems
inappropriate that option holders would act irrationally, no adjustment has
been made to diluted earnings per share for out-of-the money options and
warrants in the comparatives. There are no other diluting share issues.
