REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS – Chairman’s Statement
The past twelve months have been a period in which the Company has witnessed continued positive momentum by reviewing potential transactions and working towards finding a suitable transaction. All Star was able to raise capital and extend existing Convertible Loan Notes during the period under review.
The board of All Star has continued to review options as to how best advance the Company.
During the period, the board held meetings with various organisations to see what opportunities may be available. Going forward, discussions will continue to be held and it is hoped that a suitable transaction will be identified in due course.
As a Company with a listing on the NEX Exchange Growth Market, our access to capital is predominantly through
The Company’s principal asset since relinquishing and selling its Australian assets is its shareholding in investee company, NQ Minerals Plc (“NQ”). Throughout 2017, All Star continued holding 5,519,545 shares in the NQ, which equated to 3.29% ownership as at the start of 2017.
The shareholding was valued at £441,564 at
CORPORATE
On a further positive note during the period, All Star extended the maturity of Convertible Loan Notes in issue and raised £124,500 through the issue of new ordinary shares. As covered in detail above, the equity story continued to be developed in our investee company, NQ Minerals Plc.
This has continued to be worthy of the patience and loyalty shown by All Star as a significant shareholder owning more than 3% of the Company. The future of NQ continues to look attractive with the board of All Star remaining highly encouraged about the outlook over the next six to twelve months.
FINANCIALS
The financial results for the 12 month period to
The basic loss per share from continuing operations was 0.02p (2016: loss per share of 0.02p).
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FACING THE COMPANY
The principal risks faced by the Company are as follows:
- The ability to raise sufficient funds to continue to execute the Company’s strategy; and
- The performance of the investment in NQ Minerals plc which is an overseas mining and exploration company.
OUTLOOK
I believe that All Star could be enhanced through a number of different means. The part or complete disposal of the NQ shareholding may mean a balance sheet transformation. If that was to occur, then potentially there would be a significant amount of cash that would be utilised towards a single or multiple transactions. This would completely change the current corporate structure of the Company and benefit shareholders.
However, in the interim the Company's working capital position still requires careful management.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow board members, shareholders and our advisers for their continued support and patience over the past twelve months. In what overall has been another pleasing period, the Company has continued with its transition and is shaping for the future.
