Made Tech believes market consensus is for adjusted Ebitda of £5.6 million and cash of £13.5 million. ‘The UK public sector is entering a multi-decade AI transformation, creating a substantial long-term opportunity for trusted delivery partners like Made Tech. Recent contract awards reinforce our position at the centre of a number of critical programmes across government. With a strong balance sheet, high earnings visibility and an increasingly differentiated proposition, we believe Made Tech is well positioned to capitalise on these opportunities and we look forward to FY27 with confidence,’ says Chief Executive Rory MacDonald. ---------- Venture Life Group PLC - Berkshire, England-based company that commercialises products for the consumer self-care market, with brands including Balance Activ, Earol and Health & Her - Announces a trading update for the 17 months ended May 31 after changing its financial year-end date from the end of December. Sales in the 17 months rise 16% to £50.0 million, including sales of £14.7 million in the first five months of 2026, up 29% on-year. Power Brands grow 17% in the five-month period, primarily driven by the performance of VLG Products which grew by 19%. ‘With a strong balance sheet, the group is well positioned to deliver significant organic growth over the coming years and the board is continuing to explore immediately earning enhancing M&A opportunities for complimentary products within its key markets of UK and US,’ company says. ---------- Eight Capital Partners PLC - financial services and investment group operating across Europe and Asia - Pretax profit slumps to £3.5 million in 2025 from £18.3 million the year prior. Revenue jumps to £125,000 from £48,000, while administrative expenses slide to £360,000 from £2.5 million. Other gains and losses total £1.8 million, compared with £20.5 million a year prior, principally reflecting fair value movements in financial assets. Basic and diluted earnings per share are 0.02 pence versus 0.01p a year ago. ---------- Gowin New Energy Group Ltd - Cayman Islands-based business with investments in LED-related products, tea trading and agarwood trading - Pretax loss narrows to RMB3.2 million, around £356,000, from RMB4.8 million the year prior. Revenue halves to RMB54,000 from RMB109,000, administrative expenses slip to RMB2.0 million from RMB3.9 million. The group’s principal new energy holding remains its minority investment in Taiwan-based Taiwan Thick-Film Industries Corp, which manufactures and supplies LED backlight modules and components. The board says it continues to ‘monitor this investment closely but has no current plans for further investment or development within the LED sector, given the ongoing structural challenges facing the industry.’ ---------- Jangada Mines PLC - natural resources development company focused on Brazil - Pretax loss is $1.8 million in 2025, stretched from $1.2 million the year prior. Includes $859,000 impairment of its investment in Fodere. In 2025, Jangada made a strategic pivot to gold and is currently involved with two projects. Both ‘high-grade projects provide exposure to highly prospective gold districts with strong development potential,’ it says. Jangada also continues to maintain the Pitombeiras Vanadium Titanomagnetite project, which remains a ‘promising’ asset. ---------- Sunda Energy PLC - Southeast Asia-focused gas resource company - Provides an update on the acquisition of a production business in New Zealand and its funding, and its activities in Timor-Leste and the Philippines. Regarding the acquisition of Matahio NZ, Sunda says productive meetings have been held with New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals, the government regulatory authority, and the approvals process is ongoing. Sunda and the seller, Matahio Ventures Pte Ltd, are working collaboratively towards a smooth and seamless handover in anticipation of completion of the deal, which it currently estimates will be during September. The deal is being funded through a combination of director loans, share subscriptions, a retail offer and the issuance of unsecured convertible loan notes. In addition to an equity subscription of £900,000, Alumni Capital Ltd agreed to subscribe for the CLNs in three tranches, up to £4.3 million. An initial tranche of CLNs for a sum of £1.3 million was drawn down following a general meeting on 29 April 2026. At Timor-Leste, it says it is evaluating its options and considering how to proceed with respect to the drilling of the planned Chuditch-2 appraisal well. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
