STAVERT ZIGOMALA PLC
ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST MAY 2012
Chairman's Statement
Shareholders Funds have decreased by £362,833 during the financial year ending 31st May 2012,
equivalent to a fall of 6.40%. This compares with decreases of 11.17% (FTSE100) 11.55% (FTSE All
Share) and 11.64% (FTSE Small Cap) though the Directors believe that there is no realistically
comparable index.
We are required to present the Accounts so as to show Shareholders Funds in a way which exceeds
the Directors perception of true net worth, because liability for deferred taxation (which would
apply on the realisation of all portfolio investments) is not taken into account. Had the
Accounts been prepared on a net worth basis then Shareholders Funds would have been shown as
£4,661,230 a decrease of 4.12%. This lower percentage reduction in shareholder value reflects the
reduction in post tax unrealised gains within the investment portfolio and also taking account of
the reduction in the current corporation tax rate.
The increase in dividend and other investment income is welcome and in line with our expectations.
The market as a whole and the larger FTSE 100 companies in particular have been increasing their
dividends though we are still some way short of investment received prior to the problems in the
banking sector in 2007/8 and dividends from this sector remain low and are likely to be so for
some years yet.
The Directors have decided to recommend an unchanged final dividend of 36p per Ordinary Share,
with total dividends for the year of 61p being at the same rate as last year. In consequence the
dividends on the Deferred Stock are also recommended at the same rate as last year. The retained
profit and loss account reserve brought forward from previous years is available for utilisation
for the payment of dividends, not covered out of current profits, and is being so utilised to
cover the shortfall in distributable profit.
