Pires Investments PLC

("Pires" or the "Company")

Unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 April 2018

Chairman's Statement

The Company is pleased to report a profit of GBP122,556 during the period under review resulting from an improvement in the value of our investment portfolio, net of disposals.

As at the period end, our net asset value amounted to GBP750,000, which represented an increase of some 20% on the position at the year end and principally comprises cash and investments.

The principal investment in the portfolio is Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Limited.

Since the period end, there has been a further modest increase in the value of the portfolio.

We continue to review potentially attractive investment and reverse takeover opportunities and we are confident that further progress will be made in the coming months.

Peter Redmond
