The Company and its quasi subsidiary White Raven Capital Partners (White Raven), continue to pursue the main aim of investing in residential development projects in or near Lisbon in Portugal. In the 2006 accounts I reported that the Company's interests in two participation agreements had been transferred to White Raven, which is a Portuguese Closed End Real Estate Investment Fund, in January 2007. Debt finance for the conversion of one of these properties into luxury apartments was secured through White Raven and it is anticipated that these will be completed later this year. The works are already well advanced and sales are being planned by White Raven which will release cash back to the Company after the repayment of bank debt. A decision regarding commencement of the second project in White Raven will be taken later this year. New opportunities are being investigated and decisions regarding their pursuit are being considered. Financials No external sales had been made by the Group up to the year end as the various projects were incomplete. Sales are expected to commence in the 2008 year. The Group showed a gross loss arising from an impairment review of its work in progress and write downs being then taken as appropriate. Administrative expenses of the Group for the year were £799,435 (2006 £ 324,349). The Group also incurred interest on loans of £262,344 (2006 £ nil) and received interest of £56,587 (2006 £17,246). Further equity capital was raised during the year which after related costs raised £2,124,041 (2006 £3,336,250). The equity shareholders' funds of the Group at the end of November 2007 amounted to £4,149,365 (2006 £3,908,225). The Group pre-tax loss for the year was £2,086,902 (2006 £307,103). This produces a basic and diluted loss per share of 1.94 pence (2006 0.8pence). Outlook Despite difficult conditions in property markets across Europe Black Raven remains confident that its existing investments are sound and that returns will be generated through existing and future opportunities. ********** P Toscano Chairman 29 May 2008 BLACK RAVEN PROPERTIES PLC CONSOLIDATED PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT For the year ended 30 November 2007 Note 2007 2006 £ £ Turnover - - Cost of sales 1,081,710 - (1,081,710) - Administrative expenses 799,435 324,349 Operating loss 2 (1,881,145) (324,349) Interest receivable 3 56,587 17,246 Interest payable 4 (262,344) - (205,757) 17,246 Loss on ordinary activities (2,086,902) (307,103) before taxation Tax on loss on ordinary activities 6 9,428 - Loss on ordinary activities after taxation and loss retained 16 £ (2,096,330) £ (307,103) Basic loss per share 7 (1.94)p (0.80)p The operating loss is derived from continuing operations.
