# Sport Capital Group Plc - Half-year Report to 30 June 2019

PR Newswire

**(“Sport Capital Group” or the “Company”)**

Interim Results and Directors' Statement

For the period from 1st January to 30th June 2019

Sport Capital Group announces the unaudited interim results of the for the first half of the current financial year. The financial statements which follow have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors.

The Company made a pre-tax loss of £73,331 (period ended 30th June 2018 – (£22,396)) resulting in a net loss of £59,361; cash at bank at the period’s end was £21,697 (period ended 30th June 2018 - £48,598). During the period, £60,000 before expenses were raised from the issuance for cash of new shares.

The Company previously announced that, at the beginning of the period under review, it had acquired for a nominal sum a controlling interest in a European professional soccer club and that, on subsequent investigation into the investment, it had decided to exit that investment at no loss to the Company’s capital account. All costs associated with the transaction were settled during the period under review and are reflected in the financial statements presented below. The Directors are satisfied that no residual or contingent liabilities as a result of the Company’s purchase and sale of this investment are liable to arise at a future date.

In August of 2018, the Company announced that it had made an investment Kalahari Key Metals Exploration (Pty) Limited (“KKME”), a battery minerals exploration company, which explores in Botswana for nickel (“Ni.”) and platinum group elements (“PGE”). KKME holds two prospecting licences within the Molopo Farms Complex, a large intrusion with proven potential for Ni. and PGE, straddling the border of Botswana and the Republic of South Africa. During the first half of the current year the Company made a follow-on investment, participating in a capital increase by KKME after positive results from an airborne survey of that company’s licence areas, which was conducted in 2018.

Late in 2018, Mr. John Treacy joined the Board of Sport Capital Group to represent the interests of an incoming shareholder to which the Company had agreed to issue new shares that were allotted in January 2019. With effect from the Company’s last AGM on 28th June 2019, Mr. Treacy stepped down as a Director and I thank him for his contribution. I was able on the same occasion to welcome back to the Board Mr. Mark Jackson.

The Company continues to seek prospective opportunities to this end, several potentially attractive investments are undergoing preliminary analysis and evaluation. The Directors look forward to informing shareholders and the market if, as and when such an opportunity crystallises.
