Tejoori Limited

("Tejoori" or the "Group")

 

Interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2010

 

 

Chairman's statement

 

We are pleased to present Tejoori's interim results for the six month period ending 31 December 2010.

 

We are pleased to report that, despite facing continuing difficult market conditions in the period under review, Tejoori has achieved an improved operating performance compared to the six months ended 30 June 2010 as a result of a well-executed strategy. We have directed our recent efforts into moving the Company towards profitability.

 

Financial performance during the period

 

For the six months to 31 December 2010 the Group achieved a net profit of US$ 337,672 (six months to 31 December 2009, loss of US$ 14.9 million). Earnings per share at 31 December 2010 were US$ 0.012 (31 December 2009, loss per share of US$ 0.54 per share) and cash available for investment stood at US$ 5.77 million, or US$ 0.208 per share (31 December 2009, US$ 6.32 million). The Directors are confident of Tejoori's growth prospects going forward.

 

Investment activity during the period

 

As announced by the Company on 8 December 2010, Tejoori entered into an agreement on 7 December 2010 to dispose of its investment in M/s Al Manafeth Real Estate Development & Trading Company, the owner of a parcel of land in Saudi Arabia, for a cash consideration of SAR 11 million (equivalent to US$2.93 million). SAR 8 million of the cash proceeds were received on completion and SAR 3 million was received by Tejoori on 15 December 2010. The disposal represented a gain of 10 per cent for Tejoori on the initial investment. The Board intends to use the net proceeds from this disposal to make further investments in line with the Company's investment strategy.

 

Future investment opportunities

 

The Company is currently evaluating various potential investment opportunities to strengthen Tejoori's portfolio and maximize potential returns for its shareholders. As a part of the Company's investment strategy, we are looking to identify investments in certain profitable operating companies, through equity participation. The Board will consider both long term and short term investment options.

 

Outlook

 

The Board view 2011 with a positive outlook and hope to be able to continue to improve the Company's performance. Any future investments by Tejoori will be made with a view to strengthening the Company's investment portfolio and achieving higher potential returns for shareholders. Tejoori is today in a more competitive position than in previous periods and the Board views the future with confidence.
