(Alliance News) - Cloudbreak Discovery PLC on Friday said its annual loss narrowed as costs reduced, as the firm continues to search for acquisition opportunities.
The Vancouver, Canada-based natural resource project generator said its pretax loss for the year that ended June 30 was GBP855,966, narrowed from GBP4.0 million the year before.
This was driven by a reduction in administrative expenses, which fell to GBP943,302 from GBP3.9 million.
Cloudbreak swung to a foreign exchange gain of GBP50,529 from a loss of GBP81,024 a year prior.
"The company remains focused on building a specialist early-stage natural resource investment project generator and development business seeking to identify and secure potential acquisition opportunities within the mining and oil & gas sectors," said interim Chief Executive Officer Andrew Male.
"The company has undertaken a major restructuring since March 2023, resulting in the retirement of many of the corporate debts, a reduction in the overheads and an ongoing review of its assets and projects under ownership and management. In turn the balance sheet has seen improvement, and the company is even more streamlined and focused with its efforts.
"Stock markets generally continue to be unkind to small, developing companies for whom it can be quite difficult to raise funds. On the one hand, this offers no shortage of good exploration and development propositions, often with seasoned and professional management teams, that could provide excellent opportunities for Cloudbreak to consider as investments or participation projects which can create and build long-term value for shareholders."
Male added, however, that its limited cash resources mean any potential project acquisitions would first require "the injection of new funds" into the company. Cloudbreak is seeking out new sources of finance, but notes that "in current markets this is taking longer to achieve than we would like".
Shares in Cloudbreak Discovery were untraded at 0.15 pence each in London on Friday. The stock has fallen 46% in the last six months.
