Notice of Annual General Meeting

I have the pleasure in presenting your Company’s Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2024.

Whilst the Company’s trading activity has reduced with low levels of fundraising in the small microcap UK public markets, the directors continue to follow an investment strategy, through investing in small undervalued or fast growing companies, with the investment objective of achieving long term capital growth in excess of the FTSE All Share Index. Opportunities in the UK public markets are presenting themselves and the Company is taking some advantage of market volatility.

The Company had cash of £150,426 at the year-end (2023: £174,052). The pre-tax loss was £422,980 (2023: pre- tax loss of £285,740).

In what proved to be a difficult year in the public markets, the market value of the Company’s investments declined by £419,412.

The Company has continued to hold positions in AIM, LSE and Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market traded companies, including those companies at early stages of development, and some pre-IPO investments. Of the companies in the portfolio at the year end, the Company held approximately 22% in Aquis Growth Market companies, approximately 63% in AIM and LSE quoted/listed companies, and a remaining small percentage in private companies, having invested on a pre-IPO basis. Since the year end, the Company has managed to sell down some of the Aquis Growth Market portfolio. The directors continue to caution that there is a historically perceived lack of liquidity generally in Aquis Growth Market traded companies. Since the year end, the Company has made approximately £92,000 (of which £52,236 has already been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 September 2024, as part of the fair value adjustment on investments) in net profits on the exercise and sale of Mobile Streams PLC shares, following the exercise of warrants. As at today’s date, the Company has unaudited cash of approximately £220,000.

The Company does not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year end to 30 September 2024.

The Notice of Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) is set out at the back of the annual report and accounts. The AGM Notice is being posted to shareholders and will be held on 4 April 2025 at 3.00 pm at the offices of Peterhouse Capital Ltd, 3rd Floor, 80 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6EE.

Auditor conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included assessing the directors’ plans for the future, confirming investment and cash balances, together with fixed operating costs for the foreseeable future.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

   1. to the allotment of equity securities in connection with an offer of such securities to holders of ordinary shares where the equity securities for which ordinary shares are respectively entitled to subscribe are proportionate (as nearly as may be) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held by them, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements or any legal or practical problems under the laws of any overseas territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange; and

1. Shareholders, their duly appointed representatives or proxies are entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM. A shareholder can appoint the Chairman of the meeting or anyone else as their proxy and their proxy need not be a member of the Company. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different ordinary shares. To appoint more than one proxy, the proxy form should be photocopied and completed for each proxy holder. The proxy holder’s name should be written on the proxy form together with the number of shares in relation to which the proxy is authorised to act. The box on the proxy form must also be ticked to indicate that the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All proxy forms must be signed and, to be effective, must be lodged at the registered office of the company, or emailed to not later than 48 hours before the time of the meeting or any adjourned meeting.
2. In accordance with Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, only those members entered on the Company’s register of members on the Company’s register of members at 48 hours (excluding non-business days) before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting shall be entitled to vote in respect of the number of shares registered in their names at that time. If the meeting is adjourned by more than 48 hours, then to be so entitled, a shareholder must be entered on the Company’s Register of Members at the time which is 48 hours (excluding non-business days) before the time appointed for holding the adjourned meeting or, if the Company gives notice of the adjourned meeting, at the time specified in that notice.
3. Forms of proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be completed and, to be valid, must reach the Company’s registered office not less than 48 hours (excluding non-business days) before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting.
4. As at the close of business on 2 February 2024, the Company’s issued share capital comprised 97,571,428 ordinary shares of 1p each, including 9,949,084 ordinary shares of 1p each held in treasury. Each ordinary share, excluding treasury shares, carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company, and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company as at the time and date given above is 87,622,344.
