Final Results
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the financial statements for the year to 31 December
2008 for Red Leopard Holdings Plc and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Harrell
Hotels (Europe) Limited and Red Leopard Management Limited (the "Group").
Net deficit on equity of the Group as at 31 December 2008 was £239,776 (2007:
equity £232,450) and, with no revenue generated from operations, the loss for
the year attributable to the equity holders of the parent was £532,228 (2007 £
213,627).
As at 31 December 2008, net cash for the Group was £189,667.
The Board's decision towards the end of 2007 was to focus on residential
property developments, a strategy which it pursued through a joint development
agreement with First Broughton Group. Unfortunately, this strategy focused on
the development of residential properties aimed at the mid-market consumer, a
target market that was severely affected by the economic downturn during 2008.
While the outcome from this investment was disappointing, the reality of the
situation could have been much worse. Through the joint development agreement
we located several sites, conducted preliminary due diligence (including land
surveys and local authority searches) and the evaluation of the sites looked
promising. However, each of these sites was under option subject to finance
and, as occurred to most property developers last year, we were unable to
secure finance due to the drying up of liquidity. In hindsight, this has worked
in our favour as the specific sites we held under option have continued to
decline in value. .
In order to finance these operations the company invested £336,613 into site
investigation, research, council planning and working capital. We are unlikely
to retrieve this in the near term if at all. The Board continues to monitor the
residential development market but would not be investing any further funds
until there was significant improvement in this segment.
The Board is now actively investigating and reviewing several opportunities
including investments in the leisure and hospitality market, with special
attention focused on hotels. The current economic climate is presenting some
exciting hotel opportunities which we are hopeful Red Leopard can get
successfully involved in, given adequate financing.

Notes:
1. This statement has been prepared using accounting policies and presentation
consistent with those applied in the preparation of the statutory accounts
of the Company.
2. The summary accounts set out above do not constitute statutory accounts as
defined by Section 240 of the UK Companies Act 1985. The summarised balance
sheets at 31 December 2008 and the summarised income statement and,
summarised cash flow statements and summarised statement of changes in
equity for the year then ended have been extracted from the Group's 2008
statutory financial statements upon which the auditors' opinion is
unqualified. The results for the period ended 31 December 2007 have been
extracted from the statutory accounts for that period, which contain an
unqualified auditors' report.
3. The annual report and accounts were today posted to shareholders.
4. Basic loss per ordinary share for the year is based on the loss of £532,228
(2007: £213,627) and a weighted average of 397,964,658 (2007: 267,660,731)
ordinary shares.
For diluted loss per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary
shares. Items to be included in the calculation are:
- Options for ordinary shares
- Convertible loan notes for ordinary shares
The effect of conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares would have
an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and therefore they have not been
incorporated in the diluted loss per share calculation.
