Results

Gledhow Investments plc ("Gledhow" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its half year results ("interim results") for the current financial year.  The period covered is from 1 October 2019 to 31 March 2020.  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 147,414 at the period end. The Company made a pre-tax profit of GBP 22,523.

 

 

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.  This has impacted on share prices, including some shares held by the Company. There remains the risk that Company's investments might be further negatively impacted and might not realise the carrying values on sale.

 

 

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