Chairman’s Statement

2024 Observations

  • The US Federal Reserve cut the Fed Funds Rate by 0.5% to 5.0% from 5.5%
  • First US Rate cut for 4 years
  • Dow Jones and S&P hit new highs
  • NASDAQ leads 2024 performance +20% YTD.
  • Through 7 September 2023, the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite (CCMP) has risen ~20%; Notable Mega Caps AAPL +18.87%, NVDA +138.02%, TSLA -1.84% GOOGL +16.07%, META +57.96% EBAY +44.93%, MSFT +16.66%.
  • NVDA’s performance alone accounts for 20% of S&P 500 ‘s YTD performance of +19.8%.
  • Buffett Index at an all-time high; Total US Market Value recently @ 200% of US GDP. Next stop infinity!
  • On Aug 30, 2021, the Buffett Index stood at 199.5%,  shortly before falling over 30%.
  • A reversion to the Mean from current levels would indicate a possible (porbable) decline of between 30 to 50% - assuming no overshoot!
  • US Household Debt at the end of Q2 2024 stood at a record $17.8 trillion. (Source, New York Fed Aug 6, 2024); +505bn from Q2 2023.
  • Over the last year, approximately 9.1% of US credit card balances and 8.0% of US auto loan balances transitioned into delinquency. (Source, as above).
  • US Federal Debt $35.4 trillion, 123.44% of GDP.

 

Holdings -

Restitution  -

  • As at the time of writing I have so far covered £2,086,00 for the losses incurred by the Company due to the collapse of Tappit, due wholly, in my opinion, to the incompetence of the Company’s Board. I will continue to contribute funds up to a total of £3m.

 

NWT - https://newmarksecurity.com/

  • Newmark Security recently published Full Year 2024 (Yr end 30 April) results, which confirmed our view on recovery with Revenues up +10% and EBITDA up +50%. NWT shares have also performed well since the beginning of the year and have increased 26.67% YTD.

 

ALNA - https://www.alina-holdings.com/

  • ALNA posted improved results for H1 2024 which can be found on the Company’s website, as above.

 

AMOI - https://anemoi-international.com/

  • Please refer to Anemoi website

 

SUN - https://www.sigroupplc.com/

  • Surgical Innovations Group PLC (SUN LN)

is a leading UK-based designer, manufacturer, and exporter of innovative high quality medical products primarily for use in laparoscopic and robotic minimally invasive surgery.

THAL has recently taken a 15.8% stake in SUN. In the early 90’s I was the first Wall Street banker to visit Conmed (CNMD US), at the time it had a market cap. of ~$30m, today its mkt cap. is $2.3bn. The Medical Device Market (including Laparoscopy) is dominated by Medtronic plc $31.6bn revenues, Abbott Labs $31.3bn revenues, Dasher Corp $29.6bn, John & Johnson $27.4bn, as well as Siemens, Fresenius Medline, Becton Dickinson, GE Healthcare, Stryker, Philips NV, Cardinal Health, Baxter Intl., Boston Scientific all with annual revenues in excess of $10bn.

SUN’s H1 2024 results are due 30 September, and whilst our expectations are muted, we believe that the Company has exceptional leadership in place for such a small company and can and should, in due course, return to profitability.

 

ALSAF  -   https://safegrp.com/

  • Safe Group is a leader of ready-to-use solutions for the treatment of Spinal Diseases.

 

THAL has recently acquired a 10% stake in SAFE.

 

Conclusion

Warren Buffett is quoted as saying, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful. Now is not the time to be greedy but fearful. Berkshire Hathaway has a record amount of cash ~$300bn and continues to sell holdings. The US market is experiencing peak earnings and multiples whilst Federal and Consumer debt are both at all-time highs.

 Duncan Soukup

Chairman

Thalassa Holdings Ltd

26 September 2024

   

Total income from operations for the period to 30 June 2024 was £0.3m (1H23: £0.2m). Income benefited from a £0.2m unrealised gain on Thalassa’s holding in NWT.

Cost of Sales was £5k (1H23: £15k) comprising development costs (net of capitalised costs) at ARL and direct financial holdings expenses, resulting in a Gross Profit of £0.3m (1H23: gross profit £0.2m).

Administration expenses were negative £0.1m, i.e. a slight income (1H23: £0.4m expense). This was positively impacted by the decision of the Chairman to waive all of his consultancy fees carried forward from 2022 and 2023. We should like to point out that, as in past periods, Mr Soukup’s 2024 fees have been accrued, but not yet paid. Depreciation costs were £0.01m (1H23: £0.16m). This reduction was due to the surrender of the Swiss office lease by the Company’s subsidiary Alfalfa.

Operating Profit improved to £0.3m (1H23 Loss: £0.4m).

Other income benefited from a £17k net gain on book value on the surrender of the afore mentioned lease. Until surrender, some of this property had been sublet, which covered total lease expenditure.

Profit before tax was £0.2m (1H23 loss: £0.5m).

Net assets at 30 June 2024 amounted to £9.5m (1H23: £9.6m).

Net cash (being cash balances less any financial borrowings) was £1.4m as at 30 June 2024 (1H23: £0.6m).

Current and Non-current lease liabilities became nil on the surrender of the Villa Kramerstein lease.

The reduction in other receivables and other payables was driven by the formal offsetting of most of a receivables balance from an entire payables balance to a single counterparty, ID4 AG / Apeiron AG. The payable was from Alfalfa in relation to an assets purchase from id4 AG prior to the acquisition by the Company; and the receivable is in relation to a balance owed to the Company from the former Apeiron AG.

Net cash outflow from operating activities amounted to £0.15m compared to  £0.10m in 1H23.

Net cash outflow from investing activities amounted to £0.02m, compared to 1H23 inflow of £0.39m.

Net cash inflow from financing activities amounted to £1.45m (1H23: outflow £0.14m). This was driven by the Tappit restitution agreement. The Chairman contributed £1.5m in the 6 month period to 30 June 2024. A further £0.6m was contributed by the Chairman in August 2024.
