EVRIMA PLC
(formerly Sport Capital Group plc; "Evrima" or the "Company")
RESULTS FOR THE PERIODED 30TH JUNE 2020
Chairman's Statement
The Directors present below the unaudited financial statements for the
half-year ended 30th June 2020, which show a loss before taxation of GBP(15,540)
(30th June 2019: GBP(73,331)) and cash-at-bank of GBP2,038 (30th June 2019: GBP
11,845). The financial statements which follow have not been reviewed by the
Company's statutory auditors. The loss for the half-year was in line with the
Directors' expectations at the beginning of the period under review.
Trading Performance
During the period under review, the Company retained investment property in
Leeds, West Yorkshire, which is let on a commercial lease until 2021. Despite
the impact of the Covid-19 lock-down which began on 24th March in England, the
lessee of the property continued to perform in accordance with the lease terms.
Other Developments
In May this year, the Company appointed Peterhouse Capital Limited as corporate
stockbroker. Keith, Bayley, Rogers & Co. Limited remains Corporate Adviser for
the purposes of the Company's share quotation on AQSE.
When, on 8th June 2020, I presented the Company's full-year results for 2019, I
stated that the Directors remained focused on opportunities with the potential
to bring rewards for shareholders. Since the end of the first half of 2019,
there has been a number of important developments within the Company; although
each has been publicly disclosed between July 2020 and earlier this month, as
and when required, I summarise them below under the heading "Post- Balance
Sheet Events".
Post- Balance Sheet Events
i. Equity Financing
In July of this year, the Company raised GBP324,000 gross of new, permanent
equity capital by means of a placing of 108,133,133 new shares with new and
existing investors.
ii. Changes of Directorate
At the same time as announcing the re-financing, I was able to announce that
two new Directors, Burns Singh Tennent-Bhohi and Guy Miller, had joined the
Board of Directors. Mark Jackson, FCA, MBA, left the Board shortly following
the re-financing, to concentrate on other business ventures with which I wish
him every success.
iii. Shareholders Approve New Investment Strategy, Capital Streamlining and
Name-Change
On 5th August 2020, the Company posted a circular seeking shareholders' consent
to certain measures, including the re-focusing of the investment objectives
onto the natural resources exploration and extraction sector, a re-organisation
of the Company's issued share capital in which the ordinary shares would be
consolidated in the ratio of one-for-ten and changing the Company's name from
Sport Capital Group plc to Evrima plc. All the steps sought to be taken were
approved on 24th August 2020.
iv. Option Significantly to Increase Existing Resource Investment
On 8th September 2020, Evrima announced that it had entered into a 60-day,
exclusive option to acquire a further 17.2 percent of the issued share capital
of Kalahari Key Minerals Exploration (Pty.) Limited ("KKME"), a private
Botswanan company which is exploring licences in a highly prospective
geological formation straddling the border of Botswana and the Republic of
South Africa for nickel and platinum group elements. In 2018, the Company
acquired a modest interest in KKME and subsequently participated in a capital
increase by KKME so that, should the Company elect to exercise the current
option announced on 8 September 2020, the Company would be interested in 19.6
percent of the issued share capital of KKME.
I look forward soon to informing shareholders concerning the outcome of the due
diligence and evaluation work on KKME that the Company is conducting during the
period of exclusivity under the Option Agreement; and of other investment
initiatives and developments as these unfold.
