Final results for the year ended 31 March 2019
Hermes Pacific Investments Plc today reports its financial results for the year ended 31 March 2019.
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 2019. During the year, the Company had no revenues as it does not have any operating business and the Company made a loss of GBP107,000, which is marginally higher than the loss of GBP100,000 reported for the previous financial year. We continue our focus to minimise our costs whilst we are looking for opportunities to deploy our cash. At the financial year end the Company had net assets of GBP3,742,000.
Review of the Company's Activities
The Company is an investing company and has previously made some investments in line with its investing policy in companies involved in financial activities within the emerging market sector. These investments have performed in line with our expectations. We are in a good position from a Balance Sheet perspective and our cash balance as at 31 March 2019 stands at GBP3.596 million. We have continued to evaluate possible suitable opportunities to deploy our cash resources but have not found any deal that we thought fit that we could put to the shareholders to approve. Our total comprehensive loss for the year was GBP119,000 compared to a loss of GBP61,000 for the previous financial year. The deficit is higher this financial year as in the previous corresponding year there was a gain of GBP39,000 on investments held by the company.
Global economic growth slowed down in the latter months of 2018 and also in the first half of this year. Economic uncertainty remains high due to various factors affecting trade. The system of global trade remains subject to political pressure, and differences between China and the US will likely continue to inform sentiment in the near term. However, the conclusion of major trade agreements - including the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the EU's bilateral agreements with Japan and Singapore provide important counterweights that could give impetus to international trade in the years ahead.
The slower global growth coupled with the uncertainty of Brexit has undoubtedly dented business confidence in the UK. The continued uncertainty over Brexit has made it harder for companies to make calls on investment. At the same time, disruption from emerging technology, climate change and fragile geopolitical and trade conditions have created one of the most complex backdrops to operate against in recent times. In view of all the uncertainties currently present we are very cautious with regard to deployment of our cash resources.
The Company continues to seek attractive investment opportunities that will enhance the shareholder value while minimising the downside risks.
Outlook
We have a strong balance sheet and cash resources that place us in a strong position to exploit investment opportunities as they arise.
