Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement that contains inside information according to REGULATION (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR), transmitted by EQS Group.

Gledhow Investments plc

(“Gledhow” or the “Company”)

 

First Half Results to 31 March 2022

 

Date:  1 June 2022

 

Results

 

Gledhow is pleased to announce its half year results (“interim results”) for the current financial year.  The period covered is from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022.  These are unaudited interim results.

 

The Company continues to pursue its investment strategy which has the objective of achieving long-term capital growth.

 

The Company had cash of GBP 215,980 at the period end. The Company made a pre-tax loss of GBP 292,825 which included net unrealised losses on investments of GBP 434,968.

 

 

Despite the uncertain economic environment, the Company is in a strong position, thanks to its strong cash position, and we look forward to being able to make opportunistic investments in small to medium sized undervalued companies as they arise.

 

 

Risks in Relation to COVID-19

Whilst the full impact of the global pandemic is yet to be felt by businesses worldwide, it is likely to have a negative impact on the business prospects generally and small companies in particular.   Likewise, the impact of the war in Ukraine, global supply chain issues and inflation heighten the risks for smaller companies in general. This has impacted on share prices, including some shares held by the Company. There remains the risk that the Company's investments might be further negatively impacted and might not realise the carrying values on sale.

 

Post Year-End Update

Since announcing the Company’s audited results in January 2022, the Company continues to hold positions in AIM, LSE and Aquis Exchange traded companies, including those companies at early stages of development, and some pre-IPO investments. Of the companies in the portfolio as at the end of May 2022, the Company holds approximately 34% in AQSE Growth Market companies, and the remainder in AIM and LSE quoted/listed companies, and a small percentage in private companies, invested on a pre-IPO basis. The Directors continue to caution that there is a historically perceived lack of liquidity generally in AQSE Growth Market traded companies and that these investments may not be readily realisable into cash.

 

In the portfolio, there are some investee companies in the midst of undertaking reverse takeover or other corporate activity, and it is hoped that these companies will be successful in completing such transactions, allowing Gledhow to monetise its positions into cash.

 

The directors of the issuer accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
