PETROCAPITAL RESOURCES PLC
("Petrocapital" or the "Company")
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2008
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
In the first six months of the financial year the Company made a loss of
£46,569, which was mainly attributable to the professional costs incurred in
connection with the acquisition of 95.7% of the ordinary share capital of the
Company by Jurby Corporation ("Jurby") on 31st July.
As shareholders will recall from a previous announcement, the acquisition of
the Company by Jurby heralded the transition of the Company to that of an
investor in strategic interests in existing companies involved in oil
exploration and precious metals mining in the Eastern European and Asian
regions, with a particular focus on Kazakhstan.
As part of the change in focus of the Company the following appointments have
been made to the Board of Directors: Jochen Schaefer, CEO; Axel Von Schubert
COO; Jonathan Scott-Barrett, New Business Development; Timothy Le Druillenec,
Finance Director and Company Secretary; with, finally, myself as Chairman. Our
previous Chairman, Richard Armstrong, remains as a non-executive director.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our departing directors
Stephen Evans and Jonathon de Mendonca for their work in the formation of this
corporate vehicle.
This change of strategy and introduction of a new management team, together
with the secondary listing your Company has recently obtained on the XETRA
market in Frankfurt, marks the beginning of an exciting new venture. The
Company is already involved in detailed talks with several parties about
potential investments in the oil and precious metals sectors.
We look forward to the new future of the Company and further announcements will
be made as soon as appropriate.
