Chairman's Statement
________________________________________________
At 30 June 2007, the net asset value per share of Thompson Clive Investments plc
("TCI") was 132.6p, a decrease of 2.6% from the net asset value at 31 December
2006. This lower asset value is accounted for by the conservative valuation
placed on the unquoted portfolio, given the limited time left to realise it. At
30 June the company had liquid funds of #977,000.
For the six months to 30 June 2007, TCI made a net loss of #700 (2006: net
profit of #35,000) after providing for #50,000 of liquidation costs due before
the end of the year. These results should also be seen in the light of TCI's
continuing reduction in size during its last year as a going concern, from total
net assets of #7,472,000 at 30 June 2006 to #3,335,000 at 30 June 2007. During
2006 #2.26 million was distributed as dividends.
Following the policy adopted in previous years, the Directors do not recommend
the payment of an interim dividend.
There were no disposals of investments during the six months to 30 June 2007.
However on 9 August, TCI realised its holding in Sifam Instruments Ltd in a
trade sale for proceeds of #493,000 (a gain of #440,000), with a further
#130,000 held in escrow for 12 months against any claims. The portfolio is down
to 10 active companies (excluding Sifam) and the board is seeking realisation of
them before the end of the year with the aim of maximising return to
shareholders.
As previously reported to shareholders, on 28 October 2002 the board of TCI
announced that at the request of some major shareholders who wanted liquidity in
the medium term, and following discussions with the holders of the majority of
shares, the company would be wound down over the period to 31 December 2007. It
is therefore the board's intention to seek shareholder consent to put TCI into
members' voluntary liquidation before 31 December 2007.
