HERMES PACIFIC INVESTMENTS PLC

(AIM: HPAC)

Final results for the year ended 31 March 2016

Hermes Pacific Investments Plc today reports its financial results for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report the results of Hermes Pacific Investments Plc ("HPAC" or the "Company") for the year ended 31 March 2016. During the year, the Company had no revenues as it does not have any operating business and the Company made a loss of GBP91,000, which is lower than the loss of GBP115,000 reported for the previous financial year. Our focus has been on managing our costs during this period whilst we look to deploy our cash resources and until we do our objective is to keep costs at a minimum level. At the year-end the Company had net assets of GBP3,988,000.

Review of the Company's Activities

The Company is an investing company and has made some investments in line with its investing policy in companies involved in financial activities within the emerging market sector. Currently our principal focus is in the Far East as we believe that there are good growth opportunities in that part of the world. These investments have performed in line with our expectations. We are in a strong position from a Balance Sheet perspective and our cash balance as at 31 March 2016 stands at GBP3.916 million. We continue to evaluate other suitable opportunities in emerging markets and with our strong Balance Sheet intend to make further investments in the near future. Our total comprehensive loss for the year was GBP129,000 compared to a loss of GBP101,000 for the previous financial year.

Hermes is looking for exposure in the emerging markets through investment in well established companies with proven business models, with consistent histories and management teams with a good track record. In addition, we are looking to invest in businesses that have long term favourable economic prospects. The growth rate in emerging markets is very attractive as opposed to the growth rate in advanced economies. Despite the waning commodity prices together with a prospect of an interest rate hike in USA interest in emerging markets remain strong.

Outlook

We have a strong balance sheet and cash resources that place us in a strong position to exploit investment opportunities as they arise.
