"This has been another very busy and exciting period for the Company, with a significant level of investment activity and gains made across the portfolio. We strongly believe that our investment portfolio has the potential to deliver a high level of return, as demonstrated by the progress made to date. In particular, our investment in SVV is performing beyond the Board's expectation, with the majority of the portfolio companies attracting additional investment from other investors at significantly higher valuations compared to the level of original investment and thereby also ensuring that these companies are well funded going forward.

Furthermore, SVV has almost completed its initial portfolio investment deployment and we anticipate further increases in the value of the portfolio companies and subsequent exits over the medium term. We are also excited about our investment in the digital asset technology sector where we have already achieved substantial gains."

Investment in SVV

During the period, the Company increased its exposure to SVV through the purchase of 1.5 million shares in SV plc using new Pires shares as consideration. SV plc has a 25.9% interest in SVV and a direct investment in VividQ, one of the SVV portfolio companies. As a result of this transaction, Pires now has an aggregate (direct and indirect) interest in SVV of around 20%.

Within the SVV portfolio, new investments have been made in: Virtex, a company building a platform for the next-generation of live, immersive entertainment within the virtual reality gaming and e-sports industries; PreCog, a security solution platform company that provides data intelligence to combat crime, terrorism and protect vulnerable people; and Smarttech247, a global artificial intelligence based cyber security cloud business that protects enterprises as they migrate to cloud-based IT operations. Smarttech247 is profitable with high forecast revenue growth and has over 100 technology partners, including Tanium and CrowdStrike, and 50 clients based in Europe and the US. Smarttech247 has also recently announced its intention to seek a listing by way of a reverse takeover transaction which is expected to complete later in the year.

Additionally, during the period, a number of the portfolio companies have been revalued upwards based on new funding rounds which have taken place at higher valuations compared to the valuation at the time of the initial investment. These companies include:

-- CameraMatics raised EUR4 million in additional funding at a valuation that represents over 300% of the CameraMatics' valuation as at the time of SVV's initial investment in November 2017. The round was led by Puma Investments, a leading provider of growth capital. CameraMatics also announced a major partnership with UK transport and logistics operator Maritime Transport Ltd.

-- Getvisibility completed a further funding round at a significant premium to the last round. This was led by Herb Hribar who was formerly CEO of Eircom, the largest telecoms group in Ireland and is currently a director of ScienceLogic, Inc, a leading provider of AI-based operations technology which recently completed its own US$105 million round. Mr Hribar, who is based in the US, recently become Chairman of Getvisibility and is leading Getvisibility's dialogue with potential Silicon Valley investors.

-- Post the period end, VividQ has also raised new funds (GBP11 million) at a significant premium to previous valuations. This funding was led by a consortium of new international investors including the University of Tokyo, Foresight Williams Technology (a joint collaboration between Foresight Group and Williams Advanced Engineering), Japanese Miyako Capital, Austrian APEX Ventures and Silicon Valley's R42 Group and follow-on investments from SVV, University of Tokyo Edge Capital (UTEC) and Essex Innovation. SV plc has a significant direct investment in VividQ thereby providing Pires with a disproportionately greater interest in VividQ through its shareholding in SV plc.

VR Education ("VRE"), one of the portfolio companies which is already listed on AIM, and from which funds have already been returned to Pires, has also made significant progress during the period with revenue up 83% for the half year to 30 June 2021. In particular, its ENGAGE product has now reached the milestone of over 130 commercial customers, including Abbott Laboratories, KPMG, MongoDB, and the US State Department as recent additions. Its strategic partner HTC Corporation ("HTC") has commenced selling its ENGAGE product, VIVE Sessions, in China, as part of a software bundle with HTC's new headset, the VIVE Focus 3, and with new HP ProBook laptops being sold in the region. In June 2021, VRE announced the planned development of a new fully featured corporate metaverse called "ENGAGE Oasis" with the launch expected in the first half of 2022. In addition, it raised EUR9.0 million (GBP7.7 million) before expenses at a price of GBP0.16 per share by way of an oversubscribed placing, announced on 18 June 2021 - the company's net cash position was EUR9.2 million as at 30 June 2021.

As at the period end, SVV had a portfolio of 13 investee companies at different stages of development spanning a range of sectors. The portfolio provides Pires with exposure to a number of key, cutting-edge and rapidly growing technology sectors.

Direct investments

During the period, the Company increased its investment in Low6, an influencer-led B2B gamification company for sports franchises around the world. Low6 recently raised an additional GBP6.5 million in July 2021 in an over-subscribed pre-IPO fund raising. Its user base continues to increase and it now has over 250,000 users. Low6 is also actively progressing its IPO.

The Company made a new investment of GBP250,000 in PreCog, a security solution platform company that provides data intelligence to combat crime, terrorism and protect vulnerable people, as part of its GBP1 million fundraising round. Its customers include leading law enforcement and security agencies and transport infrastructure groups.

Pires also made a follow-on investment in Getvisibility, as part of a EUR1.1 million funding round led by a new lead investor Herb Hribar, who has also become Chairman of the company. This new funding took place at a significant premium to the valuation at which Pires made its original investment of EUR250,000 in March 2020. The funds raised will be used to enhance the company's marketing and sales capability in addition to deepening its technology and research know-how The company is accelerating customer growth and is also now servicing customers in Europe and the MENA region.

Digital assets sector

The Company completed its first investment in the digital assets sector through an investment in De Tech Studio Limited and YOP tokens. Certain YOP tokens were sold to realise a substantial cash profit and the balance of the investment was used to subscribe for shares in Pluto Digital Assets plc ("Pluto"). The rationale for this transaction was to diversify and de-risk the investment and provide greater liquidity given Pluto's intention to list.

Pluto is a software technology company and operator in the decentralised finance ("DeFi") and non-fungible tokens ("NFT")/Metaverse (virtual environments) sectors. It is currently developing a DeFi software platform, that provides a highly usable web DeFi portal to open up DeFi to a mass audience. This platform provides vault middleware to find and categorise a set of proprietary DeFi vaults to offer users the ability to generate yield from crypto currencies. Furthermore, Pluto has partnered with a leading NFT metaverse platform and is currently engaging with owners of digital media and rights to offer their content to the NFT community. In addition to Pluto's operational activities, it has made further investments in Web3 ventures and has acquired an NFT portfolio including assets such as Cryptopunks, Artblocks and BAYCs.

Pluto has advised the Company that it currently holds treasury assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, Cardano and Solana. The company has also advised that, overall, its portfolio of venture and treasury assets has been performing well and the company's current NAV per share exceeds 6 pence, the price at which Pluto carried out its most recent fund raise in March 2021.

During the summer of 2021, Pluto has been focusing on expanding its product team and forming key partnerships. This work has progressed well and the company now believes that it is well-positioned to proceed with its planned IPO.

The Company's equity holding in Pluto is valued at almost GBP2 million based on the price of 6 pence per share, which represents a significant uplift on the Company's initial investment in this sector.

Key financial indicators

The key unaudited performance indicators are set out below:

 
Performance indicator              30 June 2021  31 December     Change 
                                                        2020 
--------------------------------  -------------  -----------  --------- 
                                        GBP000s      GBP000s 
Profit/(loss) attributable             GBP1,532     GBP(687) 
Net asset value                       GBP 7,080    GBP 2,926       +142% 
Net asset value - fully diluted 
 per share                                4.94p         2.7p       +83% 
 

The Company has generated significant profits during the period driven by increases in value of its investment portfolio. At the same time, the Company's net assets have continued to increase over the period, although we do not believe that the Company's net assets fairly represent its financial potential, given the scope for significant valuation uplift for the companies within the portfolio. This is clearly demonstrated by the gains, both realised and unrealised, that have been achieved to date from its investment portfolio. Furthermore, realisations that are achieved within the SVV portfolio result in cash distributions to the Company and are not retained within the fund thereby delivering a real cash return to the Company.

During the period, the holders of warrants over 17,053,579 ordinary shares in the Company exercised their warrants at 4 pence per share with total net proceeds to the Company of GBP682,143. There are currently unexercised warrants over 33,221,403 new ordinary shares in the Company which expire in June 2022.

The Company is also very pleased to welcome a new Director, David Palumbo, to the Board. David is currently CEO of EQTEC plc and brings a wealth of experience in the venture capital and technology sectors. Also, at the recent AGM, Peter Redmond retired from the Board. W e would therefore like to thank Peter for his time at Pires and his valuable contribution to the progress that the Company has made over recent years. We all wish Peter the very best in his future endeavours.

Furthermore, at the Company's recent AGM, shareholders approved the Company to proceed with a capital restructuring and reduction in order to both simplify the Company's capital and reserves and to eliminate the historical deficit on the profit and loss account in order to allow the Company to pay dividends and make distributions going forward.

With regard to Covid-19, the Company has remained fortunate in being able to trade as normal, with very limited impact on its investments.

In summary, the Company's investment in the technology sector has already proven to have been successful, with a substantial amount of the original investment already having been returned. Going forward, the Company is very well positioned to become a leading next generation technology investment company with an interest in a portfolio of high-tech companies that have the potential for significant growth.
