Preliminary results for the year end 31 July 1998
The Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 July 1998 were
approved on 9 October 1998. Set out below is the Chairman's Statement and
preliminary results.
Chairman's Statement
The year has been a successful one for your Group. Net asset value per share
has risen from DMI7.69 as at 31 July 1997 to DM21.48 as at 31 July 1998, an
increase of 21.42% over the course of the year. The increase has been driven
principally by the successful flotations of two of our investments in Spring
this year at valuations significantly higher than the valuations ascribed to
them at the beginning of the year.
One new investment of DMI2.0 million was completed dining the year, in Wap
Beteiligungsgesellschaft GmbH and, since the year end a further investment of
DM 15.0 million has been approved in the MBO of Woolworths Germany.
Electra Fleming, the Investment Manager, continues to see a healthy number of
investment opportunities and while recent market events have made us more
cautious, these factors may result in lower prices. I continue to believe that
there remain significant opportunities to make attractive investments in
private equity in Germany.
