Oxeco Plc
Unaudited Interim accounts for the period from incorporation on 17 October 2006
to 31 July 2007
Chairman's Statement
Your company was established in October 2006 and was admitted to trading on AIM
in December of that year with a net #2.84 million raised in cash and a stated
strategy of seeking investments in or acquiring assets, businesses or companies
in the technology and science sectors.
The Group's unaudited loss before tax for the period from incorporation on 17
October 2006 to 31 July 2007 was #3,000 and total equity shareholders funds at
the period end amounted to #4.93 million including cash balances of #2.81
million.
Oxeco Plc acquired the entire issued share capital of Oxray Limited ("Oxray") on
29 June 2007. Oxray is currently a start up business with the objective of
becoming a provider of molecular structure determination services to both
industry and academic institutions. This is to be achieved by developing novel
molecular structure determination software in-house, in-licensing IP and
potentially making acquisitions in this field.
The total consideration payable for Oxray was approximately #2.1 million
satisfied by the issue new Ordinary Shares with a value of #2.0m and the cash
settlement of related acquisition costs amounting to #0.1m.
On completion of the acquisition, I joined the Board as of Executive Chairman,
Professor Stephen Davies joined as a Non-executive Director and Professor Graham
Richards changed his role from Non-executive Chairman to that of Non-executive
Director.
Oxray's primary objectives are the development of novel X-ray crystallography
structure determination software and the provision of a small-molecule X-ray
crystallography structure service. The service will use a web portal behind
which the company will work to maximise the extent to which the service can be
automated. The company intends to offer standardised response times to its
customers but will also market premium services such as a fast-response and
extended scientific reporting suitable to support customers' patent
applications.
Following completion of the acquisition of Oxray, your Directors intend to
continue to identify opportunities they believe fulfill the Company's original
objectives of investing in the technology and science sectors and especially
those which are complementary to the Company's enlarged business.
I am confident that your Company will make considerable progress during 2007/
2008.
