Concha PLC

("Concha" or "the Company")

Interim Report for the period ended 31 December 2014

Introduction

We reported in October 2014 that the Board had been working on a plan to transform the Company into an investment vehicle focused on high impact global opportunities within the mobile, internet, sports, social media, digital and technology space. I am pleased to update shareholders that we are in discussions regarding a specific global opportunity within our investment scope that, if pursued to a successful conclusion, the Board believes will lead to a transformation of the Company. At present, there can be no guarantee that this investment will be successfully completed and the Board will update shareholders in due course about further developments regarding this specific global opportunity.

Interim Results

I am pleased to be able to present these results for a period in which the Company was able to further strengthen its balance sheet via the placing of 100m new shares for an aggregate consideration of GBP4m, formalise the appointment of Peter Read to the Board and in the period immediately following the period end, conclude the protracted settlement discussions with Concha's former legal advisors in connection with the former Moshen business. The combination of a further improved capital base and strengthening of the Board leaves us well placed to progress some of the exciting opportunities outlined above.

In October 2014, the Company completed the placing of 100m ordinary shares raising GBP4m from both new and existing shareholders. This, in combination with the exercise of 54,848,997 warrants raising a further GBP0.5m, has seen the Company bolster its cash reserves to GBP5.7m at the period end.

In September 2013, the Company instigated proceedings against its former legal advisors for losses suffered as a result of the failure to register a valid security interest in the assets of the Moshen business in respect of loan monies advanced. I am delighted to report that we have now agreed a settlement, which will draw a line under this legacy matter. Under the terms of the agreement we are restricted from disclosing either the terms or the quantum of the settlement. However, having taken into consideration both the cost and resource necessary to progress this matter more formally, I am pleased that we have managed to recover value from the situation and cleanse the distraction going forward.

Outlook

As outlined in the introduction we are now engaged in discussions with a specific global opportunity within our aforementioned investment focus. We will update the market further as soon as there are material developments to report.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT

FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2014

   1.      BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards adopted for use in the European Union ("IFRS"). The accounting policies are unchanged from the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014.

The interim financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2014 have not been audited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2014, prepared in accordance with IFRS, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Auditors' report on these accounts was unmodified, did not include any matters to which the Auditors drew attention by way of emphasis of matter without qualifying their report and did not contain any statements under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.

This Interim Financial Report was approved by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2015.

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ('IAS') 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. Accordingly the interim financial statements do not include all of the information or disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's 2014 annual financial statements.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Concha PLC and its controlled entities. The financial statements of controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in full.

With effect from 10 June 2014, Concha was no longer a group, following the striking off of its only subsidiary CC123 Limited.

   2.      TURNOVER AND SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS 

All of the Company's activity and income and expenses in the periods ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 and for the year ended 30 June 2014 were incurred in the United Kingdom, and relate to Concha's ongoing investment activities.

   3.      LOSS PER SHARE 

The calculation of the basis and diluted earnings per share is based on the following data:

 
                                       Half year   Half year  Year ended 
                                              to          to 
                                      31.12.2014  31.12.2013   30.6.2014 
Earnings 
Earnings for the purposes of 
 basic earnings per share net 
 loss for the 
period attributable to equity 
 holders of the parent (GBP000's)          (278)       (323)     (1,182) 
Number of shares 
Weighted average number of ordinary 
 shares in issue (millions)              1,364.9       742.4       887.1 
Number of dilutive shares under 
 options (millions)                        357.0       241.7       225.9 
Weighted average number of shares 
 incl. dilutive warrants (millions)      1,721.9       984.1     1,113.0 
 

The denominator for the purpose of calculating the basic earnings per share has been adjusted to reflect all capital raisings. Due to the loss incurred in the period, there is no dilutive effect resulting from the issue of share options, warrants and shares to be issued.

 
 4.    SHARE CAPITAL                                                  Number                Nominal
