(“Welney” or the “Company”)
Audited Annual Results for the year ended 30 June 2018
Welney Plc (NEX: WENP), are delighted to report its audited annual results for the twelve months ended 30 June 2018.
Chairman’s statement
The Board is pleased to present the results for Welney Plc for the year ended 30 June 2018.
During the year I have continued to look to keep the company’s operating costs to a minimum whilst I continue to review several different proposals to take the Company forward, which at this stage none of which have been suitable. There continues to be a couple of proposals being considered and I have continued to maintain the discussions around enabling the Company to raise additional funding.
The Company’s investment in GACR (Green Automotive Co), a Nasdaq listed Company continues to perform poorly and it continues to be very illiquid.
The Company continues to investigate proposals for our subsidiary company Metro Environmental Ltd and will pursue this strategy once further funding is forthcoming.
Semsa International FZC ("Semsa"), the loan note holders, continues to support the Company by way of the loan note within the financial statements. The directors are pleased to report that the loan note holders “Semsa” have agreed to not call in the loans outstanding for at least another 12 months. In addition, the company has confirmation of further support in relation to the future ongoing costs of the company from its shareholder’s.
I hope to be able to report any further developments to shareholders at the next AGM, in the meantime the directors will keep costs to a minimum.
Performance Overview
The financial year to 30 June 2018 has continued to be challenging with the board continuing to review the ability to raise additional investment and as a consequence this year continues to be hampered by cash constraints.
Financial Results
The Company's loss for the year from continuing and total operations was £71,098 (2017: £75,649).
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend (2017: nil).
Significant Accounting Policies
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, notwithstanding the continuing trading losses.
The Group meets its day to day financing through its cash reserves, equity or debt financing in the form of shareholders' loans and new share issues. As at 30 June 2018 the Company has net current liabilities of £37,604, a deficit in shareholders’ funds of £267,773 and no cash at bank.
The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period to 30 June 2020 which assume no unnecessary costs or expenditure. On the basis of these forecasts, the fact that the loan note holders have agreed in writing to not call in the loans for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report, and that the directors have agreed not to take any salary or fees until such time as there is sufficient cash reserves in the business, the Company is expected to continue to operate within its available financial facilities for at least the next 12 months.
The going concern basis is dependent upon the Company meeting its forecasts for 2019/20. These forecasts show that further finance will need to be raised for the Company to continue, which may not be forthcoming.
Whilst the directors remain confident that the Company will continue as a going concern, this is dependent on their ability to secure the necessary funding to take the Company forward and there can be no certainty in this respect.
Nevertheless, after making due and careful enquires and considering all uncertainties, the Directors believe the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate.
Please review the Company’s annual report for full details.
