STRANGER HOLDINGS PLC
("Stranger" or the "Company")
Final Results
Stranger Holdings plc (LSE:STHP) is pleased to provide its final results for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Strategic Report
Principal activity
Stranger Holdings PLC ("the Company") is an investment company with the original primary objective of undertaking a single acquisition of a target company, business or asset in the industrial or service sector to which end it has announced a proposed acquisition of certain mineral interests which will result in a reverse takeover transaction as described below.
Results for the period
For the year from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, the Company reported a loss of GBP602,000 (2021 - GBP432,000). At 31 March 2022 the cash balance was GBPNil (2021 - GBPNil)
On 26 September 2021 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Mayflower Capital Investments Pty Limited ("Mayflower") for the acquisition of certain mineral rights in Africa, to include commodities primarily Uranium and Tin. It is a very exciting opportunity for the company as it should not have such a long period of time until mining operations commence, expected to be around three years, compared with similar operations whereby such resources can take up to thirteen years until extraction commences, the lead time to production is therefore relatively much shorter and profitability should be reached much sooner.
Acquisitions are subject, inter alia, to the completion of due diligence, documentation and compliance with all regulatory requirements, including the Listing and Prospectus Rules and, as required, the Takeover Code. The Company will, in due course, be making an application for the enlarged Company to have its Ordinary Shares admitted to the Official List and to trading on the standard segment of the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange. The company has already submitted the draft prospectus to the UKLA for its first review and Reporting Accountants have been appointed and are progressing with the Accountants Report, solicitors have been appointed, and the Competent Person's Report has been completed.
The Recyclus Group Reverse Take-Over transaction was terminated due to their non-performance. We have lent Recyclus substantial monies to assist in the development of their business prior to the then expected re-listing of the combined group. The company had received substantial further advances from the bond, which have been onward advanced to Recyclus, for which they had assumed responsibility for the servicing and ultimate repayment of the bond. We have engaged lawyers and sent a letter before action demanding the return of these monies at the due date together with costs and interest, and the costs of the aborted transaction. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in the claims, but we are advised our claims are strong.
We have to date received more than GBP1,834,000 under the Audley Funding Facility. The loan facility with Dover Harcourt Plc ("Dover") was entered into on 31 October 2017 and was due for repayment on the fifth anniversary thereof, which provided the company access to a 5-year loan of up to GBP20 million. The facility was conditional on Dover issuing bonds on the Frankfurt stock exchange. Interest is charged at 7.75% per annum on the nominal value of the bonds issued.
Subsequent event
On 16 June 2022, notice was issued of a noteholders meeting of Dover Harcourt PLC (incorporated as a public limited liability company under the laws of the United Kingdom with registration number 10537069 (the Issuer)) with regard to GBP20,000,000 7.75%% Fixed Rate Secured Notes due 31 October 2022 (the "SERIES 2017-F2 Notes") of which Stranger had issued the amounts as described in the above paragraph under the umbrella GBP400,000,000 Secured Medium Term Note Programme of Dover Harcourt PLC and on 22 July 2022 the resolutions were passed by the noteholders to the redemption of the Series 2017-F2 Notes in full by way of:
(i) the issue to the Noteholders of their pro rata entitlement, being that the issuer converts all amounts due under the Facility Agreement into shares of the Borrower at a rate of 15p per GBP1 the same price that shares in the Borrower are issued to Mayflower at the placing price upon relisting pursuant to the Proposed Transaction per GBP1,000 of Series 2017-F2 Notes outstanding (including any accrued and unpaid interest) on 22 July 2022.
(ii) The shareholders of the Borrower will incorporate a new company, Newco, and will procure that the Borrower transfers certain rights to Newco (such as litigation rights and assets secured under the debenture,) and, furthermore, shall transfer shares valued at GBP100,000 in the Borrower to Newco to assist in funding the operations and litigation. The rights to be transferred represent rights to certain monies owed to the Borrower and the issue to the Noteholders their pro rata entitlement to shares in Newco per GBP1,000 of Series 2017-F2 Notes outstanding (including any accrued and unpaid interest) on 22 July 2022, such that the Noteholders will, in aggregate, own 100% of the shares in Newco.
(iii) the payment of expenses equal to GBP82,856.30 with the balance of reserves held by the Issuer on 22 July 2022; and
(iv) the termination and release of the Facility Agreement and the Security Agreement,
The future
The directors look forward with confidence to a bright future and we very much look forward to working with the Mayflower team. We would like to thank our shareholders very much for their continued patience during the process of this reverse takeover until completion of this acquisition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARED 31 MARCH 2022
1 General information
Stranger Holdings PLC ('the Company') is an investment company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is disclosed on the company information page at the front of the annual report. The Company is limited by shares and was incorporated and registered in England on 22 October 2015 as a private limited company and re-registered as a public limited company on 14 November 2016.
2 Accounting policies 2.1 Basis of Accounting
These financial statements of Stranger Holdings PLC have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Although these estimates are based on management's experience and knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Both the functional and presentational currency in which the financial statements are presented is GBP.
a) Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern. When assessing the foreseeable future, the Directors have looked at a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of this report.
Subsequent to the year end Dover Harcourt PLC approved the resolutions set out by the company in their notice on 16 June 2022. This will result in the bonds being converted to equity.
The above significantly reduces the debt of the company and related interest payments and thus corresponding working capital requirements and contributes materially to the going concern considerations of the directors. Further details are disclosed in the Strategic Report.
The Company is working on a potential transaction with Mayflower Capital Investments Pty Limited ("Mayflower") which may result in a Reverse Take Over transaction being completed and access to new funds. The transaction is progressing well and, accordingly, after making further enquiries, the Directors firmly believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. If the transaction does not materialise and the company is unable to raise funds from other sources, a material uncertainty may exist. However, the directors remain optimistic with the proposed transaction with Mayflower and accordingly, we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
b) New and amended standards adopted by the company
The Company has applied the following standard and amendments for the first time for its annual reporting period commencing 1 April 2022:
-- Amendments to IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
-- Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Deferral of Effective Date
-- Amendments to IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment -- Amendments to IAS 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets -- Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 Cycle
-- Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2
-- Amendments to IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies
-- Amendments to IAS 8: Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors - Definition of Accounting Estimates
-- Amendments to IAS 12: Income Taxes - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
The adoption of these standards and amendments have not had a material impact on the company.
c) Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 April 2022 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the company, except the following set out below:
There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company
2.2 Segmental reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as directors make strategic decisions. In the opinion of the director, the Company has one class of business, being that of an investment company. The Company's primary reporting format is determined by the geographical segment according to the location of its establishments. There is currently only one geographic reporting segment, which is the UK. All costs are derived from the single segment.
2.3 Financial assets and liabilities
The Company classifies its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or as loans and receivables and classifies its financial liabilities and other financial liabilities. Management determines the classification of it's investments at initial recognition, A financial asset or liability is measured initially at fair value. At inception transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, is added to the fair value of the financial asset and deducted from the fair value of the financial liabilities.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments that are not quoted on an active market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. Loans are recognised when funds are advanced to the recipient. Loan sand receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method (see below).
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determined payments. Other financial liabilities are recognised when cash is received from a depositor. Other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The fair value of the other liabilities repayable on demand is assumed to be the amount payable on demand at the statement of financial position date.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or where the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. In transactions in which the Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset and retains control over the asset, the Company continues to recognise the asset to the extent of it's continuing involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset. There have not been any instances where assets have only been partly derecognised. The Company derecognises a financial liability when it's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
Amortised cost measurement
The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal payments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any differences between the initial amount recognised and maturity amount, minus any reduction to impairment.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction on the measurement date. The fair value of assets and liabilities in active markets are based on current bid and offer prices respectively. If the market is not active the Company establishes fair value by using other financial liabilities appropriate valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same for which market observable prices exist, net of present value and discounted cash flow analysis.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.4 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially as fair value, net of transactions costs incurred.
Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost: any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of the loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowing costs
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.5 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
2.6 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
2.7 Interest receivable
Interest receivable consists of interest received or receivable in the reporting period and may consist of both bank interest and non-bank interest.
2.8 Interest payable
Interest payable consists of interest received or receivable in the reporting period and may consist of both bank interest and non-bank interest.
3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The company makes certain judgements and estimates which affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Critical judgements and the assumptions used in calculating estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Amounts due from Recyclus
The Recyclus Group Reverse Take-Over transaction was terminated due to their non-performance. We have lent Recyclus substantial monies to assist in the development of their business prior to the then expected re-listing of the combined group. The company had received substantial further advances from the bond, which have been onward advanced to Recyclus, for which they had assumed responsibility for the servicing and ultimate repayment of the bond. We have engaged lawyers and sent a letter before action demanding the return of these monies at the due date together with costs and interest, and the costs of the aborted transaction. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in the claims, but we are advised our claims are strong.
4 Financial risk management
The company's activities may expose it to some financial risks. The company's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the company's financial performance.
a) Liquidity and cash flow risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The responsibility for liquidity risks management rest with the Board of Directors, which has established appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the company's short term and long-term funding risks management requirements. The company manages liquidity risks by maintaining good relationships with their lenders and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows,

In 2019, the company issued convertible loan notes with a nominal value of GBP190,000 which can be converted into shares at a rate between 0.55p/share and 1.25p/share resulting in potentially dilutive shares of 24,363,636. As the company is loss making these would be considered antidilutive.
9 Capital risk management
The Directors' objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. At the date of this financial information, the Company had been financed by the introduction of capital. In the future, the capital structure of the Company is expected to consist of borrowings and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The loan bears interest of 7.75% per annum and is paid half yearly in arrears based on the total facility available to the Company.
The finance costs incurred in order to obtain the facility are being amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan. The balance above represents the remaining unamortised amount.

a) Interest rate risk
The Company holds quoted debt securities at fixed rates of interest and is therefore exposed to interest rate risk. The impact of an increase or decrease on interest rates of 100 basis points on cash and deposits, based on the closing balance sheet position over a 12-month period, is considered immaterial.
Based on cash balances as above as at the statement of financial position date, a rise in interest rates of 1% would not have a material impact on the profit and loss of the Company and such is not disclosed.
In relation to sensitivity analysis, there was no material difference to disclosures made on financial assets and liabilities.
b) Credit risk
The Company had other long term receivables of GBPNil at 31 March 2022 (2021: GBP133k). No receivables were past due or impaired at the year end. In respect of the Recyclus debt, legal proceedings continue to recover the monies owed, see note 11.
c) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
There are no material differences between the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the financial statements.
