Preliminary Financial Results for the Year Ended 31stDecember 2020
Chairman’s Statement
The Company presents below its preliminary results for the year from 1st January to 31stDecember 2020 (“Pleliminary Results”) as presaged in the regulatory announcement issued on 5thJuly 2021. It is emphasised that the financial statements appearing below are unaudited and that the audited financial statements for the same period which the Directors anticipate announcing later this month (“Final Results”) are accordingly liable to possible changes from the Preliminary Results presented today. Publication of the Preliminary Results as set out in the financial statements which follow has been approved by Evrima’s statutory auditors, PKF Littlejohn LLP, whose appointment to their role the Company announced on 23rdApril 2021.
The Preliminary Results presented today have been prepared on same basis and applying the same accounting principles and conventions as were the financial results for the year 1st January to 31stDecember 2019 with which they are compared, for earlier finacial reporting periods, the unaudited interim financial statements for the interm period to 30thJune 2020 and as will be applied to the forthcoming Final Results
Financial Highlights
The loss for the year after taxation was £(207,745) (2019: £(63,171)) resulting in a basic loss per share of (0.18) pence (2019: (0.053) pence) and a diluted loss per share of (0.17) pence (2019: (0.050) pence). Cash at bank at the end of December 2019 was £163,607 (2019: £11,845) and shareholders’ funds stood at £461,138 (2019: £206,483).
Reasons for the Delay in Publication of the Final Results
In the course of their work on the year ended 31stDecember 2020, the auditors became aware of certain items in the past years’ statutory accounts, the previous accounting treatment of which could, in the auditors’ view, require minor adjustments to be made to those prior years’ accounts. Readers’ attebtion is drawn to Note 9 headed “Prior Year Adjustment” of the selected notes to the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 below. The Directors wish to state that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, any prior year adjustements are of a character to affect neithet or the Company’s cash position as it is shown in the Preliminary Results for last year appearing below nor its future ability to implement its investment strategy; nor lead to any emphasis of matter, modification or qualification of the auditors’ opinion when the audit is finaised and the Final Results in respect of the year ended 31st Decmber 2020 are published.
When the Final Results are announced and the Annual Report containing the Company’s statutory accounts is posted to shareholders, these will contain the customary report on financial 2020, a strategic review of the last financial year, a discussion of significant post- balance sheet developments (most of which latter will have been the subject of earlier regulatory announcements by the Company) and the Directors’ outlook for the remainder of the current financial year.
