CHAIRMANS STATEMENT TO THE INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30TH JUNE 2011
During the first six months of 2011, Caspian Holdings Plc (the "Company") completed a small capital raising and consistently delivered low costs. This has enabled the Company to evaluate new opportunities in metals and in oil and gas.
Limited oil production has continued at the Barnett Lease in Southern Kentucky, USA (owned through the Company's 50% interest in Black Gold of Kentucky Inc.) and management has continued to progress options to expand stripper well production.
In June 2011 the Company made a capital placement of £80,000. The net proceeds from the placing will be used to finance the current working capital requirements of the Company.
The interim financial results demonstrate that the Company continues to consciously and effectively manage costs which remain low. For the six months to 30 June 2011 the financial results show a loss after taxation of £41,222 in comparison to £35,667 for the six months to 30 June 2010.
