(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of earnings and trading updates by London-listed companies, issued this week and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
PHSC PLC - Kent, England-based provider of health, safety and quality systems consultancy and training services, as well as security solutions such as CCTV, to the public and private sectors - Declares no interim dividend, unchanged from a year before. Pretax loss widens to GBP141,000 in the six months that ended September 30 from GBP15,000 a year before, as revenue is flat at GBP1.6 million and administrative expenses rise by 13% to GBP948,000 from GBP838,000. PHSC says the additional costs relate to finance and operations support, and some board changes. Nikki Porter started as chief executive officer in October, replacing acting CEO Nicola Coote. PHSC says it "continued to experience challenges in growing sales" in the first half, but its executive team is "targeting a select number of potential business opportunities to provide some positive trading momentum for the remainder of the financial year". It expects to have a new strategic plan in place for the start of the new financial year in April. "Although the broader economic environment remains uncertain, the board believes that the group's specialist services mix, increasing operational discipline and more coherent commercial approach provide a sound platform from which to rebuild momentum and deliver long-term value for shareholders," Porter says.

Irish Residential Properties REIT PLC - Dublin-based real estate investment trust for private rental accommodation - Reports occupancy rate of 99.5% as of September 30, unchanged from June 30. The company says it is on track for its net rental income margin for all of 2025 to be in line with the 78% recorded in the first half of the year. This is despite its "strategic asset recycling programme", under which it aims to sell 50 property units in 2025. It has closed 36 of these disposals so far, with 12 more sales agreed.
----------
Conroy Gold & Natural Resources PLC - developing 'Discs of Gold' project in Ireland including Clontibret gold deposit - Pretax loss widens slightly to EUR633,394 in the financial year that ended May 31 from EUR585,920 the year before. Conroy has no significant revenue and operating expenses were reduced, but the wider loss was due to losses on the movement of fair value of warrants and investments. Says the most significant event during the past financial year was the death of company founder Richard Conroy in October 2024. Conroy completed small fundraises during the financial year and, since the start of financial 2026, raised EUR2.5 million from a share placing and the exercise of warrants. It will hold its annual general meeting in Dublin on December 17.
----------
Karelian Diamond Resources PLC - diamond exploration in Finland and Ireland - Pretax loss widens slightly to EUR279,357 in the financial year that ended May 31 from EUR237,160 the year before. Karelian has no revenue, and operating expenses were reduced to EUR364,615 from EUR418,312. However, gain in fair value of warrants drops to EUR91,738 in financial 2025 from EUR187,628 in financial 2024. "The company has again made progress towards developing its targets in both Finland and Ireland," says Chair Brendan McMorrow, "and it is the board's intention to now accelerate the pace of the work, particularly in Finland where we have the opportunity to move towards the development of a producing diamond mine." Karelian is developing the Lahtojoki diamond deposit in Finland and its exploring the historic Cappagh copper mine in Ireland. Like Conroy, Karelian will hold its annual general meeting in Dublin on December 17.
