CHAIRMAN 'S STATEMENT

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

 

 

I have pleasure in presenting the consolidated interim financial statements of Vertu Capital Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary (collectively referred as the "Group") for the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019.

 

During the financial period, the Group reported a net loss of £65,520 (0.05p per share). As at 30 June 2019, the Group had cash in bank balance of £386,229.

 

In the past year, the Company had explored several preliminary proposals as potential acquisition targets but none seemed feasible for further considerations and as such the Company is actively looking to identify other suitable target companies or businesses.

 

I look forward to seeing better progress with the potential target acquisitions in the next few months with gratitude to our shareholders, for their continued support.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

 

 

The main expense for the Group is its legal and professional costs. The management intends to monitor and control this to be cost efficient and minimise its net loss before a suitable acquisition.

 

The Board looks forward to providing further updates to shareholders in due course and actively reviewed a number of potential acquisition opportunities across the sector, none of which has met the necessary criteria for selection.

 

Responsibility Statement

 

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR') and with International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.

The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union. The interim report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:

·     an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months and their impact on the consolidated set of financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and
