Palmaris Capital Plc

("Palmaris" or the "Company")

Results for year ended 30 June 2011

and Notice of AGM

The Board of Palmaris, the investment company with a 16.1% holding in Scottish Resources Group Limited ("SRG"), which is the largest surface mining coal producer in the UK and is the Company's sole remaining investment, is pleased to present its audited results for the year ended 30 June 2011.

Key points include:

   --    A loss on ordinary activities before tax of approximately GBP115,000 (2010: GBP167,000). 
   --    Net assets at 9.9p per share (2010: 10p). 

-- Directors' valuation of Palmaris's 16.1% holding in Scottish Resources Group held at 96p per SRG share.

-- SRG reported lower revenues and profitability for the year to March 2011, but as indicated in our interim results, sales prices for the current year are benefiting from new coal contracts that are already delivering a significant rise in per gigajoule average prices in the current year. SRG's performance is expected to be significantly better than the results for the year to March 2011.

Chairman's Statement

Results

The loss for the year, represented by the net cost of running the company, was GBP115,000, as compared with GBP167,000 the previous year. This reduction in the loss arose as the directors agreed to take no further fees or remuneration with effect from 1 January 2011 in order to help maintain the cash resources of the company. This resulted in a saving of some GBP45,000 in the year.

Our remaining investment is a 16.1% holding in Scottish Resources Group Limited (SRG), the main Scottish opencast coal operator with significant development land potential and a portfolio of renewable energy project opportunities. The valuation of this investment is difficult to assess due to the fluctuation of SRG's earnings and the fluctuations in stock market values of similar companies. The directors still believe that the price of 96p per SRG share, which values SRG at GBP96m, represents a fair assessment. This maintains the value of our holding at GBP15.45m and our net assets therefore come out at GBP15.5m (9.9p per Palmaris share).

Scottish Resources Group

After an excellent year to March 2010, in which SRG reported turnover of GBP229.9m, operating profits of GBP33.1m, and profits after tax of GBP21.2m, the year to March 2011 was always expected to be much less profitable, as indicated in our interim statement earlier this year. The turnover was GBP209.2m, operating profits down to GBP13.1m, and profit after tax down to GBP0.3m. The last of these figures was affected by a one-off cost of GBP4.2m for the costs of the aborted IPO attempt during the summer of 2010.

Although coal sales remained at the same level of 4.0m tonnes as in 2010, the sales price achieved per gigajoule was GBP2.15 as compared with GBP2.35 the previous year and this reduction fed straight through to the bottom line. The sales price was affected by long-term contracts set in earlier years. Fortunately, also as indicated in our interim statement, the sales prices for the current year are benefiting from new coal contracts that are already delivering a significant rise in per gigajoule average prices in the current year. SRG's performance will as a result be much improved.

During the last two years SRG has invested heavily in new opencast sites, spending GBP22m on them and also GBP32m on new plant and equipment. This level of investment will allow production and sales to increase and will help operational efficiency in the coming years.

In the current year to March 2012 we are therefore hoping that SRG's performance is expected to be significantly better than the results for the year to March 2011.

Conclusion

The SRG results to March 2011 were disappointing but new coal contracts appear to have largely redressed the position in the current year. If there is a sale of SRG, we would hope to realise significantly more than the value at which we are carrying it in the books.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

   1.       Accounting policies 

A summary of the principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year, are as follows:

Basis of accounting:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006.

Going concern

The board of directors are satisfied that the company has adequate reserves and availability of funding in order for the company to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

Turnover:

Turnover represented amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts and VAT.

Income and expenses from investments:

Income from securities is credited to the profit and loss account when the securities are listed ex-dividend. Interest receivable, interest payable and other expenses of management are dealt with on an accruals basis.

Foreign currency transactions:

Overseas income is converted to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling on the date of the transaction.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any resulting exchange gain or loss is dealt with in profit and loss.

Unrealised appreciation reserve:

The unrealised appreciation reserve represents the difference between the book cost and the market value of fixed asset investments held at the balance sheet date. This reserve is non-distributable.

Realised gains and losses on investment transactions:

Gains and losses on realisation of fixed asset investments and realised exchange differences thereon are transferred from the unrealised appreciation reserve to the capital reserve at the time of the realisation of the investment. The capital reserve is a distributable reserve.

Taxation:

The charge for taxation is based on the profit or loss for the year and takes into account deferred taxation arising on short term timing differences between the treatment of certain income for taxation and accounting purposes.

Deferred taxation

is provided for at anticipated tax rates on differences arising from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods that differ from those in which they are included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded only where it is expected that an asset or liability will crystallise in the foreseeable future.

Investments:

Fixed Assets: Listed investments are stated at values based on market prices at the balance sheet date.

Unlisted investments are valued by the directors on an earnings multiple basis, after considering underlying earnings, based on all of the information available to the directors. The directors also consider other, non-earnings based information available which may affect the valuation.

Significant judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty

In applying the company's accounting policies, which are described above, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of turnover and costs incurred during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions are:

Unlisted investments

The company's policy for valuation of unlisted investments is set out above.

The directors consider that the earnings basis of valuation is most appropriate for the type of mature company in which it holds investments. Where a company's earnings fluctuate due to the market factors such as commodity prices, it is considered appropriate to make an assessment of past and expected future average earnings in determining the valuation of the shares held.

In assessing underlying earnings the directors consider information including historic financial statements, available budgets and projections, past performance compared to original forecasts and market information such as movements in commodity prices.

The earnings multiple used is determined by consideration of the multiples for listed companies operating in a similar sector, adjusted to reflect the unlisted status of the investment.

The directors also consider other non-earnings based information available about the company's investments and use this information to validate the earnings based valuation. This includes property values and coal reserves.

The fees due to Sir Timothy Noble were paid to Noble House and the fees due to W. Paterson and J. Richardson were paid to Patersons Quarries Ltd under arrangements in which the services of these directors were provided by the businesses concerned.

No directors had accrued entitlements under defined benefit schemes.

The directors have ceased taking fees from 1 January 2011 in order to protect the company's cash position. The remuneration of the directors will be reconsidered when the cash position is improved by a sale of the company's main asset or in other ways.

Directors' share options

No director holds options to acquire shares in the company.

   6.       Taxation on (loss) on ordinary activities 

No taxation charge arises as a result of the tax losses incurred and brought forward (2010 - nil). As at 30 June 2011 the company has trading losses to carry forward of approximately GBP3.3m and capital losses to carry forward of approximately GBP17m.

The difference between this nil charge and that which would arise from applying the relevant standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 28% to the loss on ordinary activities before tax is as follows:

 
                                         2011        2010

--------------------------------------  ----------  ---------- 
 Standard rate of UK corporate tax at 
  28%                                    32,269      46,888 
--------------------------------------  ----------  ----------

  relief currently available             (32,269)    (46,888) 
--------------------------------------  ----------  ---------- 
 Tax charge for the year                 -           - 
--------------------------------------  ----------  ---------- 
 

No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to the capital losses of GBP17m carried forward at 30 June 2011 as the directors do not consider that there is any certainty that capital gains will be achieved which can be relieved against these losses.

No tax would be payable if the unlisted investment was sold at the carrying value in the Balance Sheet at 30 June 2011 due to the availability of the capital losses as detailed above. The taxable gain that would be relieved is approximately GBP9m. The company has no other fixed asset investments. On this basis, neither a deferred tax asset nor liability has been provided in the financial statements.

No deferred tax asset has been recognised in the financial statements on the trading losses of GBP3.3m carried forward at 30 June 2011 as the directors do not expect the company to make any trading profits in future accounting periods. The company will continue to incur management expenses until such time as it can realise its sole investment, in Scottish Resources Group Limited.

As stated in the Chairman's Statement, the directors still believe that the valuation of 96p per SRG share, which values SRG at GBP96m, represents a fair assessment. This maintains the value of our holding at GBP15.45m and our net assets therefore come out at GBP15.5m (9.9p per Palmaris share).

Listed investments

The company held no listed investments at 30 June 2011.
