Ikigai Ventures Ltd - Special purpose acquisition company focused on Asia and Europe - Reports comprehensive loss in the six months to December 31 of £242,458 narrowed from £339,449 the year before, with loss per share of 0.01 pence compared to 0.02p. No income was declared other than bank interest of £9,890, rising from £5,282 last year. Expenses declined to £250,455 from £343,355. Since listing, says the company has actively sought potential acquisition targets both in Asia and in Europe. The company has looked at over 50 companies and reached the preliminary stage of negotiating heads of terms with three. But a combination of very poor market sentiment, the ongoing difficulty of raising equity capital and the nervousness of potential reverse takeover candidates has meant none of these discussions has progressed.
