Path Investments plc
("Path" or the "Company")
Interim Results for the six months to 30 June 2018
Path Investments plc (TIDM: PATH), the energy investment
company, announces its interim results for the six months to 30
June 2018.
There was no revenue in the period as activities were focused on
completing the previously announced proposed transaction with 5P
Energy GmbH ("5P"). However, as announced post period end on 5
November 2018, 5P decided not to continue with the Conditional
Farm-In Agreement signed in December 2017.
Following the termination of the proposed transaction with 5P
the Company sought alternative investment opportunities and the
Company is pleased to have announced earlier today that it has
entered into a Heads of Agreement with ARC Marlborough Pty Limited
("ARC") regarding the proposed acquisition of ARC by the Company
(the "Proposed Transaction").
Whilst the reported loss before tax for the six months ended 30
June 2018 was GBP483,418 (H1 2017 profit of GBP73,048), during the
period the Company sought to minimise its cash costs through the
deferment of director's salaries and other cost saving measures. As
at 30 June 2018 the Company held cash of GBP30,734 (31 December
2017 GBP159,505).
Commenting, Christopher Theis, Chief Executive of Path, said:
"We were very disappointed that 5P decided not to complete the
Farm-In Agreement, particularly when we had secured Institutional
funding to do so. Nevertheless, we are delighted to have entered
into the Heads of Agreement with ARC. We believe the Proposed
Transaction is one that can deliver significant value for Path
shareholders."
