AGM Statement

At the AGM this morning, the Chairman, Jasper Allen, will make the following statement:

 “Since admission to trading on 28 March 2014, we have been applying the new capital raised to increasing the Group’s stock and trade.  It has taken time and effort to judiciously build the stock, and the Group is now in a strong position for the second half of the year with high quality inventory.

“At 31 July 2014, the aggregate inventories of the Group were approximately £6.45 million (31 March 2014: £4.67 million) which provides a healthy position going into the second half of the year, traditionally our busier half.

“Interest in Shapero Rare Books remains strong with a number of material deals expected to complete in September.  It will also be exhibiting at a number of important international fairs before the end of the financial year including New York, Hong Kong and The European Fine Art Fair in March.

Trading Statement

16 October 2014

The directors of Scholium are pleased to provide an update for the market on the Group’s performance for the six months ended 30 September 2014 ahead of the Group’s interim statement that will be released in late November.

Shapero Rare Books

Sales of own stock were ahead of the corresponding period last year, whilst the one-off consignment commissions did not recur. Gross profit margins on owned stock also increased in the first half reflecting the continuing emphasis on the shift to higher quality books. The main focus, since the Group’s IPO in March 2014 has been positioning the business for the significant selling season in the second half of the year and putting in place the infrastructure for future growth. Consistent with these goals Shapero Rare Books has increased its stock significantly, to approximately £6.2 million at the period end, with a number of noteworthy acquisitions.

Scholium Trading

The first half of the year was productive for Scholium Trading. Although this activity began more slowly than anticipated, it has been pleasing to note that the stock turn on trades completed has been better than expected. Scholium Trading earned its first profit in the period under review, with a return of 10% over a period of 2 months. Since the period end, two further profitable sales have been completed. Having spent considerable time developing relationships with dealers, we expect that activity will substantially increase in the second half of the financial year and beyond.

South Kensington Operations

Our South Kensington operations, albeit small, have shown accelerated growth in sales, margin and profitability and are strongly cash positive. Increased footfall has helped retail sales and some high profile hotel contract wins, both in London and overseas, have also driven sales. We launched a new private library business in the summer and it is starting to gain traction.

Outlook

We look forward to the busy selling season in the second half of the year with optimism, strong levels of quality stock and a firm pipeline of selling opportunities.
