Half-year Report

VERTU CAPITAL LIMITED

 

 

 

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the six months ended 30 June 2018

 

 

 

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

 

I have pleasure in presenting the condensed interim financial statements of Vertu Capital Limited (the "Company" or "Vertu") for the period from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2018.

 

During the financial period, the Company reported a net loss of £71,710 (0.07p per share). As at 30 June 2018, the Company had cash in bank balance of £351,696.

 

In previous year, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of VCB Malaysia Berhad, a company incorporated in Malaysia, for cash consideration of £350,000 on completion. Regrettably the letter of intention was terminated by mutual consent during the year, as announced on 12 February 2018.

 

Following the terminations of potential acquisition of VCB Malaysia Berhad, the Company aims to identify target companies or business.

 

I look forward to the year ahead with gratitude to our shareholders, for their continued support.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

 

On 26 March 2018 the Company increased its paid-up capital through the issuance of 19,999,999 new ordinary shares at a price of 1.025 pence per share raising gross cash proceeds of £205,000 before expenses.

 

The main expense for the Company is its legal and professional costs. The management intends to monitor and control this to be cost efficient and minimise its net loss before a suitable acquisition.

 

The Board looks forward to providing further updates to shareholders in due course and actively reviewed a number of potential acquisition opportunities across the sector, none of which has met the necessary criteria for selection.

 

Responsibility Statement

 

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Condensed interim Financial Statements in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR') and with International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.

The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union. The interim report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:

· an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and

· material related-party transactions in the first six months and any material changes in the related-party transactions described in the last annual report.
