Interim Results

Conygar Investment Company PLC(The) 09 June 2004 The Conygar Investment Company PLC Interim Results for the period ended 31 March 2004 Chairman's Statement It has been an interesting period for the company spent identifying and evaluating suitable investment opportunities, following the successful admission of the company's shares to the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange in October 2003. As stated in our Admission Document, the company strategy remains to invest in property assets and companies with property assets where we can add significant value. We have a continuous pipeline of opportunities which are being evaluated and are at various stages of negotiations. During the period from incorporation to 31 March 2004, the company recorded a small loss of £2,000. The company works hard to minimise administrative overhead and we are careful to ensure that we do not incur excessive costs in evaluating potential transactions. Much of this work is undertaken in-house. We have been particularly pleased by the response from our shareholders and when approached by further potential investors in February of this year were more than happy to place a further 522,000 shares with them at a price of 90 pence per share thereby increasing funds for investment. We had a cash balance of £4.9 million at 31 March 2004. The directors do not propose to consider a dividend payment at this early stage of the company's development but will review the dividend position at an appropriate time. I am also pleased to welcome Steven Vaughan onto our board. Steven has been involved with the company from the outset and has been employed in sourcing and evaluating various transactions and opportunities. Steven is a chartered surveyor and was previously a senior executive at MEPC Limited. His experience with property development and investment will be invaluable and he strengthens the team yet further. He will be appointed upon the same terms as the existing directors. The board is confident about the future prospects of the company and will continue to keep shareholders informed of the company's progress.
