Chairman's Statement
Since the Company's successful admission to the AQSE Growth
Market ("AQSE") in April of last year, the Company has gone on to
complete three exciting investments under its investment
strategy.
Miriad Limited ("Miriad")
This started with the acquisition of Miriad, a financial PR and
IR consulting company run by well-known stock market commentator
and the Company's CEO, Saqib "Zak" Mir in September 2022. Since the
acquisition, Miriad has generated turnover of GBP484,043 and an
annual net positive cash inflow of GBP91,164 and importantly
continues to work with leading companies who want to promote their
story to the London financial community.
In May 2023, we were pleased to announce that Miriad had
launched the 'Zaks Traders Cafe' online channel, an extension of
the 'Zaks Traders Cafe' social media hub with an audience of over
24,000. The website provides clients with access to deep market
insights, industry connections and significant investor audience
who can access premium news content for free, offering a one stop
shop professional solution to its clients and investors.
The launch represented a disruptive event for the sector, ending
the need for multiple retainers for partial or box-ticking
offerings.
I am pleased to report that Miriad has engaged 32 new clients
from the period since September 2022 to date, with many of these
following the launch of the new 'Zaks Traders Cafe' website.
Trans-Africa Energy Limited ("TAE")
In accordance with the Company's expanded investment strategy,
in January 2023, we were delighted to announce that the Company had
subscribed for GBP750,000 of unsecured convertible loan notes in
TAE, a UK private company focused on the development, financing,
construction and operation of energy infrastructure projects
located primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa. TAE will use the funding
raised to advance the pre-project phase of infrastructure projects
onshore in Ghana, related to the processing and transportation of
natural gas, of which the Takoradi to Tema Pipeline ("TTP") project
is the first and most advanced.
TAE has commenced various tasks of the pre-project phase of the
TTP project in the first half of 2023, including front-end
engineering design, and geotechnical field studies in which no
severe risks were identified that would affect the TTP route.
Information harvested from the field surveys will now be used in
the Front-End Engineering Design studies, Environmental Social
Impact Assessments and Land Acquisition processes.
It is well documented that energy demand on the African
continent threatens to outstrip supply. Africa is home to one of
the world's fastest growing and youngest populations:
one--in--three people born today is African1 . Three of the
top--ten economies with the fastest rates of economic growth are in
Africa. Access to clean, secure and affordable modern energy
services has not kept pace with the continent's expanding needs.
Africa is home to nearly 18% of the world population, yet accounts
for less than 6% of global energy use. Africa thus faces enormous
challenges to build the infrastructure required to meet projected
energy needs, while also transforming the energy system to address
climate and other environmental goals.
The next step for African oil and gas producing countries is
investing in infrastructure and the Projects such as those TAE is
investing in aim to alleviate energy poverty, ensure energy
security and strengthen regional energy access.
All Active Asset Capital Limited ("AAA")
Since the period end, the Company made an investment of
GBP50,000 into All Active Asset Capital Limited which is a private
UK company investing in the global technology, software and
Artificial Intelligence ("AI") space. AAA owns 25% of Sentiance
N.V., whose technology provides motion- and mobility-related AI
solutions to blue chip companies such as Uber, Absa, Verisure, DBS
Bank, Microsoft and Delivery Hero, among others.
Strategy and Outlook
The Company expanded its investment strategy in December 2022 to
enable it to explore further investment and acquisition
opportunities in the energy sector. This was designed to put the
Company in a position to target a wider pool of investment and
acquisition opportunities designed to create value for
Shareholders.
The expanded investment strategy has enabled the Company to take
advantage of the above-mentioned opportunities which presents an
enlarged opportunity set and an exciting future for the Group and
its shareholders.
The Company's acquisition of Miriad in particular is already
realising financial gains, allowing the Company to benefit from
positive cash inflows, which has been used to cover the working
capital requirement of the Company and is foreseen to sustain the
Group for the foreseeable future.
Further details of the Group's investment strategy are detailed
within the Strategic Report on page 5.
Governance and the Board
In December 2022, the Board welcomed two new Independent
Non-Executive Directors: Mr Roy Kelly and Mr Alexander Barblett.
Both of these new appointments will provide a wealth of knowledge
and expertise of completing transactions in the energy sector, as
well as considerable experience working with public companies.
Forward look
Whilst continuing to monitor closely its existing investments,
the Company will continue to pursue other investment opportunities
that fit its strategy. Miriad offers a unique and cost-effective
value-add IR / PR proposition and, against a backdrop of a gloomy
market and an investment malaise, we expect Miriad to continue to
grow, within resource constraints, and remain cash-generative. The
Company will keep running costs low as a strategic imperative,
exemplified by reduced third party costs this year.
We thank shareholders for their continued support.
