STRANGER HOLDINGS PLC

("Stranger" or the "Company")

Interim Results for the Six-Month Period Ended 30 September 2020

Stranger is an investment company with the original primary objective of undertaking a single acquisition of a target company, business or asset in the industrial or service sector.

Chairman's Report

Subsequent to the announcement of non-binding Heads of Terms to acquire a group of companies and assets containing recycling technology and mineral assets including cobalt, nickel and associated metals, the directors of the target companies have been devoting considerable time and energy to developing the "Recyclus Group" to enhance shareholder value and to develop a cohesive, profitable and attractive RTO target to the benefit of our shareholders.

Included in the RTO group is a UK company with assets located in south eastern Cameroon, Africa, and another is a US company with assets in Idaho, United States. The principal company within the target Reverse Take-Over ("RTO") group is Recyclus Group Limited.

The directors of Recyclus and related companies, which are subject to the Reverse Takeover, have assisted Stranger in raising funds via the bond loan facility and significant funds have been advanced from Stranger to Recyclus to enable them to develop their business prior to the completion of the RTO.

Recyclus is structured as an ESG compliant, ethical, green business, for the clean recycling of tyres and batteries in the UK. There is an opportunity to leverage next generation recycling technologies for current and nearby market commercialisation. By using technologies that are now beyond proof-of-concept to create circular economies, increase efficiencies and reduce the carbon footprints within these recycling industries.

Recyclus is partnering with existing, permitted, cash generative businesses within the UK. Recyclus will not only provide funding for these businesses for expansion, but also add operational value by leveraging industry knowledge to increase contracted supply and offtake for the plants.

Work is in progress with regard to the submission to the UK Listing Authority of the FCA and the draft prospectus and re-admission document is in progress. The Acquisitions are subject, inter alia, to the completion of due diligence, documentation and compliance with all regulatory requirements, including the Listing and Prospectus Rules and, as required, the Takeover Code. 

The Future

The directors look forward to completing this RTO as soon as practicable as we believe the acquisition represents an exciting and profitable opportunity for the shareholders of the company

Risks and uncertainties

The Company is a relatively new entity, with only a brief operating history, and therefore, investors have no basis on which to evaluate the Company's ability to achieve its objective of identifying, acquiring and operating one or more companies or businesses.

Going Concern

As stated in the notes to the condensed financial statements, the directors are satisfied that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed financial statements.

Post Balance Sheet Events

The loan facility with Dover Harcourt Plc has been extended post period end by £399,193. Further details of the facility can be found in the Results for the period.
