(“Imperial”, the “Group” or the “Company”)
Unaudited interim report for the six months to
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased present the unaudited financial results for
During the period Imperial has continued its highly selective search for a natural resources project which a) fits our target investment criteria b) is fundable moving forward and c) is corporately possible given our very small capital structure and severely limited funds.
I’m pleased to say that deal flow remains strong – an uptick in commodity prices coupled with a return of risk capital (in certain jurisdictions) to the micro capital resources sector bodes well for the future.
Our targeting process continues to specifically review commodities that attract market and industry support – most particularly gold, battery inputs such as lithium and cobalt and metals that are in cyclical supply shortfall such as zinc.
Imperial continues to be run leanly with quoted costs negotiated as low as possible. However, to stay listed and continue to operate in 2018, Imperial will need to seek additional capital to continue its existence.
Financial Review
Its cash reserves will be used in the short term to cover travel costs, professional consultancy fees, initial due diligence and other costs incidental to the identification and development of acquisition opportunities.
During the six month period ended
Total expenses during the period were £39,352 (2016: £92,029) which consisted of corporate and administration expenses.
