Chairman's Statement
Trading update
The Company's hedging strategy served its purpose and partially protected ALNA shareholders during the first half of 2022, thereby reducing the impact of mark-to-market declines in the Companies quoted holdings. Both of the Company's two largest holdings Dolphin Capital Investors (DCI LN) and HEIQ (HEIQ LN) traded lower, like many small cap. company shares, on lack of interest, rather than on concerted selling.
Macro Background
Global Technology stock took the full brunt of the 2022 correction on the chin, which has seen Cathie Woods' ARK Innovation ETF give back virtually all its 383% gain and which is now down 74% since peaking in December 2021. Many of ARK's investments had no earnings or were trading on triple digit p/e multiples. Many of the major stock market indices have performed badly but not as badly as the investment vehicles with substantial exposure to "Story Stocks". At the time of writing, the Dow Jones Index is down Year to Date ("YTD") 15.29%, the S&P 500 is down 51% and the NASDAQ Index is down 29.19%. whilst European Indices are down YTD between 7% and 22%.
Macro Outlook
Your Board is not convinced by the Markets recent rally, but take the view that there is another leg down in US and EU (incl. UK) Stock prices, which will be driven by research analysts reducing their overly optimistic earnings estimates for 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg are still estimating that S&P 500 earnings will increase from current level of 199.67 to 235.78, an increase of 18.08%, in 2022, by +5.22% in 2023, and by +9.02% in 2024. Given the fact that inflation is currently running at record levels, and our view that Central Bankers may well tighten too much, just as Western economic activity slows, we believe that analysts will rapidly start to reduce their 2022 Q3 and Q4, as well as 2023 and 2024, earnings estimates when they get back from their summer holidays.
Operations
Real Estate
We continue to actively manage the Company's realestate assets and a number of properties will be put up for sale in the second half of the year. In respect of the Hastings and Bristol properties, the Board has actioned a refurbishment and capital expenditure plan, which we believe will enhance both the yield and potential sale value of both properties.
Holdings 1. Dolphin Capital Investors Ltd (DCI LN)
https://www.dolphinci.com/?doing_wp_cron=1658743513.1735150814056396484375
ALNA currently owns 3.2% of DCI, which is focused on the development of luxury leisure properties in the Eastern Mediteranean Greece, Cyprus and Croatia).
The company has had a torrid life and is currently trying to wind down its realesate portfolio and return capital to shareholders. DCI's most recently released (July 2022) fact sheet indicates that the current NAV of the company stands at 12p/share versus a market price of 3.15p (at the time of writing). Clearly the new Board are struggling to convince the market that the liquidation of the company's assets will return stated NAV!. Your Board has discounted the Company's stated NAV by 33%, and estimate NAV to be ±8p, which if achieved would result in excess of a 100% ROI. 2. HEIQ plc (HEIQ LN)
https://www.heiq.com/investors/
ALNA currently owns 0.68% of HeiQ is an IP creator and established global brand in materials and textile innovation, adding hygiene, comfort, protection and sustainability to the products we use every day.
HeiQ has a core chemical business, which in 2021 generated Revenues of USD57.9m and EBITDA of USD6.5m.
HeiQ has a pipeline of innovative and potentially disruptive products such as:
HEIQ AeoniQ, an innovative high-performance cellulose filament yarn that has for the first time in textiles the potential to replace polyester and nylon. Made from waste, recycled or reactor grown cellulosic biopolymers that bind carbon (CO2) from the atmosphere.For every ton of polyester substituted by HeiQ AeoniQ, up to +5 tons of CO2 can be reduced.
As of February 2022, only four months after we announced the project, AeoniQ had on-boarded two global brands, The LYCRA Company and HUGO BOSS, with total financial commitments (subject to milestone achievements) exceeding USUSD10m.
HeiQ GrapheneX, a highly porous graphene membrane electronics, batteries and beyond.
Graphene is an atomically-thin, two-dimensional layer of carbon with unique properties, including exceptionally high strength, high conductivity, non-permeability, flexibility and chemical inertness. Permeable membrane materials are a critical feature in diverse filtration and separation applications that are essential to society and the environment. Membrane performance is determined by material strength, minimal permeation resistance to the substances being filtered and separated, and other material properties such as conductivity and wettability. HeiQ aims to create an ultra-thin, extra-strong, fully-permeable and conductive porous graphene membrane material for use in applications such as batteries and filtration that enable positive global impact in resource efficiency, health and sustainability.
Conclusion
We remain cautious on the macro-economic outlook, and do not believe it is safe to get back into the water yet. Having said that, we continue to research and find potentially interesting businesses at increasingly appealing vauations as investor interest dwindles with the increasing expectation of recession.

The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the accounting standard for financial instruments at fair value.

The Board of directors is considered to be the chief operating decision maker.
2.1. Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2022 has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

2.2. Going concern
The financial information has been prepared on the going concern basis as management consider that the Group has sufficient cash to fund its current commitments for the foreseeable future.

The six property assets held at 30 September 2020 were valued at that date by Allsop LLP. Two of the larger assets were subject to full RICS valuations, including site inspections, with the remainder subject to desktop updates of their previous carrying values. In view of the market uncertainty and the operational restrictions arising from the COVID-19 outbreak, the directors did not consider it appropriate to carry out a fresh valuation of the property portfolio at the half-year. The six properties contained in the portfolio were therefore continued to be recognised in the financial statements at their holding value in the Company's accounts at 30 September 2020. One property was considered to be held for sale and its holding value in the Company's accounts therefore took account of agreed pricing and sales costs. There were no sales during the period.
The Directors are pleased to announce the completion of sale of the Westcliff property held for sale as at 31 December 2020 and 2021, which was agreed under the previous board in 2019 and has taken this reporting period to finalise.
The Directors have concluded that they will be maintaining the valuation of the property portfolio at previous levels. The Board is also of the opinion that the carrying values, based on the "Red Book" valuation, do not reflect the real value of the properties.
The Company's objective is still to liquidate the current portfolio of shopping assets which currently show a Gross Initial Yield of more than 16%, but only if a sale can achieve a sensible return in excess of the year end 2021 carrying value of GBP2.45m.
The Directors obtained pricing and yields of similar transactions made within the accounting period to December 2021 and compared them to the Gross Initial Yield stated above. In all cases the transactions that were measured came in at a lower value than that currently being achieved. As stated, although the data is below the Yield being achieved it was felt prudent to leave the valuations as they stand.
The outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), declared by the World Health Organization as a "Global Pandemic" on 11 March 2020, has impacted global financial markets and global economy. Despite the easing of restrictions, the future impact that COVID-19 might have on the real estate market gives that less certainty should be attached to the valuation than would normally be the case. A reconciliation of the portfolio valuation at 30 June 2022 to the total value for investment properties given in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is as follows:
As at As at As at 30 Jun 22 30 Jun 21 31 Dec 21 Unaudited Unaudited Audited GBP000 GBP000 GBP000 Portfolio valuation 2,445 2,775 2,775 Investment Properties held for sale - (330) (330) Head leases treated as investment properties per IFRS 16 337 341 339 Total per Balance Sheet 2,782 2,786 2,784
5. Investment Holdings
The Group classifies the following financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL):-
Equity investments that are held for trading
As at As at As at 30 Jun 22 30 Jun 21 31 Dec 21 Unaudited Unaudited Audited GBP000 GBP000 GBP000 Securities investments At the beginning of the period 1,783 - - Additions 2,844 957 1,957 Unrealised gain/(losses) (169) 125 23 Disposals (2,566) - (197) 1,892 1,082 1,783 Investment Holdings Securities held 1,892 1,082 1,783 Portfolio Holdings 788 - 36 2,680 1,082 1,819
Investments have been valued incorporating Level 1 inputs in accordance with IFRS7. They are a combination of cash and securities held with the listed broker.
Financial instruments require classification of fair value as determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three-level hierarchy:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices);
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
6. Lease liabilities
Minimum Finance lease liabilities on head rents are payable as follows: Lease Payment Interest Principal GBP000 GBP000 GBP000 At 30 June 2021 3,040 (2,694) 346 Movement in value (11) 11 - At 31 December 2021 3,029 (2,683) 346 Movement in value (11) 11 - At 30 June 2022 3,018 (2,672) 346 Short term liabilities 22 - 22 Long term liabilities 3,018 (2,694) 324 At 30 June 2021 3,040 (2,694) 346 Short term liabilities 22 - 22 Long term liabilities 3,007 (2,683) 324 At 31 December 2021 3,029 (2,683) 346 Short term liabilities 22 - 22 Long term liabilities 3,007 (2,683) 324 At 30 June 2022 3,029 (2,683) 346
In the above table, interest represents the difference between the carrying amount and the contractual liability/ cash flow. All leases expire in more than five years.
7. Related party balances and transactions
As at the period end the Group owed GBP49,303 (December 2021: GBPnil, June 2021: GBP139,599) to Thalassa Holdings Limited ("Thalassa"), a company under common directorship. The balance relates to accounting and registered office services supplied to the Group by Thalassa at cost. The total amount is treated as an unsecured, interest free loan made repayable on demand.
During the period the Group was invoiced GBP88,887 (December 2021: GBP158,401, June 2021: GBP77,598) for consultancy and administrative services provided to the Group by a company in which the Chairman has a beneficial interest. The balance owed by the Group at the period end date was GBP88,887 (December 2021: nil, June 2021: GBP77,598)
