Apart from Conduit, reports realised GBP8,000 in profit from investments valued at GBP78,000 at March 31 as well as unrealised gain of GBP137,000 from remaining GBP1.7 million in investments. Adds no acquisitions were made during the quarter. At June 30, fair value of portfolio excluding cash is GBP2.7 million, down from 5.5 million at March 31.

Executive Director James Normand comments: "It is frustrating that events at Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc have overshadowed a steady performance from Vela's UK portfolio. Vela's principal other investments are trading well; and it is the board's view that such results will in due course be reflected in their value on the listed markets."
