EQUABLE PROPERTIES PLC
UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD FROM 1 APRIL 2007 TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2007
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
In the six months period the company has recorded a loss �885,843.
This includes a provision of �855,000 (15%) for loss in value of the pubs
portfolio which was acquired at the time of admission to AIM, since which time,
the property markets have reversed. Accordingly, the directors feel it is
prudent to make an early provision in respect of the impaired values. The pubs
have generally performed poorly resulting in the company having to invoke the
rental guarantees negotiated with the vendors. The pubs are not viewed as a core
investment holding.
Due to the high prices that prevailed in the commercial property sector earlier
in the year the company has not been active in acquiring properties. However, as
values are now becoming more realistic, it is anticipated that acquisition
opportunities will become available to the company.
The amount of �50,000 remains outstanding from the subscription monies dating
back to 31st March when the company was admitted to AIM. The subscriber is based
overseas and notification has been received from his bank advising that
technical difficulties have caused the delay but that it is envisaged that the
payment will be completed shortly.
It was announced on 19 November 2007 that JM Finn Capital Markets Ltd has been
appointed as Nominated Advisor and Broker and we are looking forward to working
with them in the future.
