Financial review

The Company incurred a loss of £206,000 in the period.

The Company had a cash position of £654,000 as at 30 June 2022. The Company had a basic loss per share of 2p.

 

Outlook

The Company's near-term goal remains focused on evaluating opportunities to acquire and to ultimately undertake one or more acquisitions in the clean and renewable energy sector.

 

On behalf of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board" or "Directors"), I would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff and advisers for their hard work as well as our shareholders for their continued support.

 

We look forward to updating shareholders on our progress in due course.

NOTES TO THE COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.   General information and basis of preparation

The principal activity of the Company is to identify potential companies, businesses or asset(s) in the clean and renewable energy sector that will increase shareholder value. The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated and registered in England and Wales as a public limited company. The Company's registered office is 9th Floor, 107 Cheapside, London EC2V 6DN, United Kingdom. The Company's registered number is 13672588.

 

2.   Accounting policies

 

Basis of preparation

 

The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards. The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise stated. The Financial Statements are prepared in pounds Sterling and presented to the nearest pound.

 

The preparation of the Company financial statements in conformity with UK-adopted international accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Directors to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies.

 

In the opinion of the management, the interim unaudited financial information includes all adjustments considered necessary for fair and consistent presentation of this financial information.

 

Going concern

The Company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The operations are currently being financed by issuances of new equity. The Company is reliant on the continuing support from its shareholders and the expected support of future shareholders. The Company financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company were not to continue as a going concern.

 

2.   Segmental analysis

 

In the opinion of the Directors, the Company is primarily organised into a single operating segment. This is consistent with the Company's internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. Separate segmental disclosures have therefore not been included.


 

3.   Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is based on the net loss for the period of £206,444 attributable to equity holders related to the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of 8,500,000.

 

The following reflects the loss and share data used in the basic loss per share computations:
