Eurocann International Plc - Six Months Results to 31 May 2020
PR Newswire
London, August 28
EUROCANN INTERNATIONAL PLC
("Eurocann" or "the Company")
INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 31 MAY 2020
Since the final results released last month, Eurocann has continued to consider opportunities within the medicinal cannabis sector, whilst prudently working to strengthen its balance sheet through making select investments in listed companies. I am pleased to advise that all investments made are performing well.
After much consideration, and in light of the global economic backdrop, the board has decided that the Company and its shareholders will be best served going forward through broadening the investment strategy to also include the natural resource sector, as well as special situations that the board believes will build shareholder value. To this end we will be publishing a circular in the coming days with a view to obtaining shareholder approval for the amended investment strategy, as well as changing the name of the Company to better reflect a more generic investment strategy.
Ultimately our objective as directors is to work toward maximising value for shareholders through the best course of action possible, and we believe that broadening the investment strategy will improve our chances of fulfilling such an objective.
FINANCIALS
The financial results for the period from 1 December 2019 to 31 May 2020 show a loss after taxation of £54,818 (2019: £41,792).
The interim results have no been reviewed by the Company's auditor.
OUTLOOK
We believe we can further build on the investment performance through broadening the investment strategy to include the natural resource sector, as well as special situations that the board believes will deliver shareholder value through capital appreciation. We look forward to publishing the Circular setting out this intention for shareholders to vote on at the Company's forthcoming AGM, and we continue to view the future for the Company with optimism.
