Chairman's statement
I am pleased to present the financial statements for Oneiro Energy plc (the "Company") for the year ended 31 January 2024.
Following the Company's listing on 25 May 2023, the Company has continued to focus on projects which have the potential to lead to less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy systems. Specifically, we have looked at acquiring interests within the hydrocarbon sector (primarily natural gas) alongside the wider upstream green energy sectors such as renewables and transition metals. As well as looking at specific commodities we have also considered the concept of Region or Country plays.
As a reminder, the Company was formed to undertake an acquisition of a controlling interest in a company or business (an "Acquisition"). Any Acquisition is expected to constitute a reverse takeover transaction and consideration for the Acquisition may be in part or in whole in the form of share-based consideration or funded from the Company's existing cash resources or the raising of additional funds.
I was appointed as Chairman on 5 September 2023. Since then, your board has continued to work hard, sourcing and evaluating multiple opportunities. We have been pleased with the quantum and quality of many of these opportunities, no doubt some of whom, in more forgiving markets would have completed their IPOs.
IPO markets remain challenging, which conversely, makes our position as a clean special purpose acquisition vehicle increasingly attractive to would be targets. Our challenge thereafter is to identify an asset that will appeal to investors, is deliverable, and one that we are able to execute to the benefit of all stakeholders.
I look forward to reporting on our progress over the coming months.
Funding
The Company is funded through investment from its shareholders. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company successfully undertook an IPO onto the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 25 May 2023, alongside a placing by the Company, raising gross proceeds of £1.2 million, with its ordinary shares listed on the standard segment of the FCA Official List.
Revenue
The Company has not generated any material revenue during the year. However, it is focusing on acquisition targets that would ultimately generate revenue for the Company.
Expenditure
During the year, the Company has continued its fiscal discipline by continuing to maintain low overheads, where possible.
Liquidity, cash and cash equivalents
At 31 January 2024, the Company held approximately £782k of cash and cash equivalents, all of which are denominated in pounds sterling.
