Expects release before end of September. Had already delayed results, and was expecting them towards the end of July. Previously notes results are expected to show trading Ebitda of GBP3.0 million, but this could "potentially increase" as a result of various potential non-trading audit adjustments.

Has previously proposed delisting from AIM and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, providing a "cash exit opportunity for shareholders" in the process. Major shareholder Mercuria Energy Group Ltd, which holds an 84% stake, proposes purchasing shares at 7.5p each under the exit opportunity, a 25% premium to its closing price on June 25, the day before it discussed a potential delisting with Mercuria. Will hold general meeting on September 1 to gain at least 75% shareholder approval for the delisting and the scheme.
