Included within expenses were £41,942 of legal fees and £109,971 of professional fees. At the year end the Company had net assets of £31,379 and cash of £94,746. In line with the amended AIM rules, a resolution will be proposed at the AGM to gain shareholder approval for the Company's investment strategy. The directors are confident that a suitable investment opportunity, in line with the Company's stated strategy, will be identified in the near future in order to generate increased shareholder value.
