David Harland, Chair of Scholium, noted:

"We are pleased with the performance of the Group in recording its fourth consecutive profitable half-year period, given the deteriorating economic environment. Action was taken on costs from December 2022 and whilst the profit was reduced for the period this was expected as was noted in the annual report for the period ended March 2023. The on-going difficult geo-political situation naturally presents a difficult environment in which to plan but we remain cautiously positive about the coming six-month period."

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Philip Tansey, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Performance Review

Overall Performance

The Group made a profit before tax of £43k during the six months to 30 September 2023, a reduction from the profit of £179k for the corresponding period last year though through intensive sales efforts margins were improved.

Overall turnover was lower by 14% compared to the same period in the prior year.  This was due to the expected more difficult environment for sales and this was reflected in books sales of £2,900k (2022: £3,420k) whilst Gallery sales of art through several initiatives and exhibitions improved to £858k (2022: £808k). As a result, gross profit of £1,511k compared to the prior period total of £1,731k.

Group costs, including Distribution and Administrative expenses, decreased by 4% to £1,456k (2022: £1,518k).  This decrease resulted from the active decision to target a reduction given the challenging markets, particularly in trade fairs and exhibitions.

The Group result for the six months was a profit before tax of £43k (2022: profit of £179k).

Inventories increased by £776k to £10,258k (2022: £9,482k) in active preparation for major sales initiatives in the months following the end of this period. Group cash balances continue to fluctuate monthly in line with stock purchases and trade debtors with net overdrafts and loan balances of £(436)k at 30 September 2023 (2022: £(515k).

Alternative accounting presentation 

The Board is focused on demonstrating shareholder return and part of that desire is the analysis of the core performance of the Group's trading business without costs that are related to the non-trading elements such as public company status and other non-directly related or one-off costs not typically expected to be incurred in a 'normal' year.

Financial Position

The Group retains a strong balance sheet. Net assets of £9,673k (2022: £9,578k) include £10,258k of stock (2022: £9,482k) and an overdrawn cash balance of £(436)k (2022: £(515)k). The Covid loan, drawn down in October 2020 of £250k, has been further reduced by repayment to the current £162k (2022: £213k). As a result, there is an increase to 71.1p of net assets per ordinary share currently in issue (2022: 70.4p).

Shapero Rare Books & Shapero Modern

Shapero Rare Books operates from its first-floor bookshop at 106 New Bond Street, its retail premises on the ground floor of 105 New Bond Street and a separate gallery for modern prints nearby at 43 Maddox Street. The lease for both premises in New Bond Street were extended during the period though for a period of less than 12 months and consequently the Board is focused on securing suitable alternative premises in the near future.

Group resources are balanced between its stock of rare books and prints in order to maximise sales and profit opportunities.

Sales in the period have, as presented in Note 3, been challenging for rare books though the Gallery has increased its sales above the corresponding prior period.

Distribution costs have decreased significantly as the decision, taken in December 2022, was to rationalise trade fairs and exhibitions given the expectation of more challenging times ahead. The central costs of the business include all board directors and other Group level costs including those associated with membership of the AIM market.  The central costs were £197k (2022: £162k). 

Outlook

The Group continues to focus on its two profitable businesses, rare books and modern prints, having discontinued the distraction of stamps and Scholium Trading and is looking to continue the profitable performance of the recent twenty-four months into the second half of the current financial year.  

Looking forward, the Group is viewing its trading for the second half of the year with cautious optimism.  

 

Key Risks

Like all businesses, the Group faces risks and uncertainties that could impact on the Group's strategy. The Board recognises the nature and scope of these risks can change and regularly reviews the risks faced by the Group and the systems and processes to mitigate such risks.

The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the continuing business activities of the Group were outlined in detail in the Strategic Report section of the annual report covering the full year ended 31 March 2023.

In preparing this interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2023, the Board has reviewed these risks and uncertainties and considers that there have been no changes since the publication of the 2023 Annual Report.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Independent Review Report to Scholium Group plc

Conclusion

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2023 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the AIM Rules.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with UK adopted IFRSs. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as

described in the Basis of Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of Directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the AIM rules.

In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of Financial Information

In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statement in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.

 

Use of Our Report

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

2.   Basis of preparation    

These condensed interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2023 (the 'Period') have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) including standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in accordance with International Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in these condensed set of financial statements as applied in the Group's latest audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. While the financial figures included within this half-yearly report have been computed in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim periods, this half-yearly report does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as set out in International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim financial statements have not been audited, do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. The auditors' opinion on these Statutory Accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under s498 (2) or s498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The assets and liabilities were recorded at the lower of the carrying value and fair value less costs to sell in the financial statements. An analysis of the individual line items is shown below.

The Company announced on 16 June 2023 that it had granted options under the Company's Enterprise Management Incentive Share Option Scheme ("EMI Option Scheme") over a total of 1,000,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence in the Company ("Option Shares") to certain employees including 700,000 to directors of the Company.  The Option Shares have an exercise price of 37.5p per share (being the closing mid-market share price on 16 June 2023), vest over the three years from the date of grant (ensuring the employees remain in continuous employment within the Group) and once vested, are exercisable at any time up to ten years after the date of grant.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year or period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period or year and, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period combined with the weighted average number of ordinary shares subject to option outstanding during the period or year respectively. No new shares were issued during the period, and the Company had 13.6 million shares in issue and 1.0 million shares subject to option at the end of the period.
