In recent months, the Board has been active in assessing a number of potential new opportunities in order to expand its investment portfolio and restore shareholder value.

"In recent months, the Board has taken a pro-active active role in identifying and assessing a number of investment opportunities where Concha has been given the opportunity to secure investment at favourable "early stage" valuations. As a Board, we have a strong track record of being able to identity innovative concepts of a disruptive nature where the opportunities for growth and mass user adoption are significant. It is our intention to harness these successes for the benefit of Concha shareholders and we intend to update the market in due course with news of progress together with an update on the status of our investment in Ve."
