Operational highlights
The business has transitioned to being an investment company (or "enterprise company" under the Aquis Rules). On 26 April 2026, the Company raised gross proceeds of £324,000 from an equity fundraise of its ordinary shares. During the period the Company has invested £100,000 in Hybrid Drones Limited and acquired a further £150,000 of shares in Tooru plc.
Scott Livingston, CEO of S-Ventures, comments:
"I am pleased to report our interim results for the six months to 30 June 2026.
The first half of 2026 has marked an important period of transition for S-Ventures plc as we establish ourselves as a focused investment company following the completion of the reverse takeover of our former operating subsidiaries into AIM-listed Tooru plc.
We retain a significant shareholding in Tooru plc and are encouraged by the progress being made across its portfolio of consumer brands. During the period, we also made an investment in an innovative drone technology business, reflecting our intention to diversify our investment portfolio.
Looking ahead, we intend to pursue further investment opportunities, particularly through convertible loan notes, which we believe can provide attractive potential returns alongside participation in the future growth of investee companies.
Following the reverse takeover, our balance sheet reflects our transition from an operating group to an investment company. We are focused on maintaining a lean corporate structure and reducing overheads to ensure that resources are directed towards creating shareholder value.
We have also been progressing a change of corporate adviser as we remain committed to our listing on the AQSE Growth Market. While the benefits of being publicly quoted have been limited in recent years, we believe that maintaining our listing, alongside a significantly reduced cost base, provides a platform for future growth.
We recognise that conditions in the UK small-cap market have been challenging and that we have not been able to deliver the short-term returns our shareholders would have wished.
Nevertheless, we believe that our existing investments, combined with a disciplined approach to new opportunities and cost management, provide a foundation for creating long-term shareholder value.
I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued patience and support as we move into this next phase of the Company's development".
