Hamilton, Bermuda – 08 January, 2016 – In a filing with the Bermuda Stock Exchange (“BSX”), Waterloo Investment Holdings Limited (the "Company" or “WIHL”; Ticker: WIHL.BH) has announced results for the six-months ended September 30, 2016. The filing stated:

                       

Waterloo Investment Holdings Limited reported a net loss of $1.5m for the six-month period ended September 30, 2015 (2014 – operating loss $5.3m) and net loss per ordinary share for the period of $0.02 (2014 – net loss $0.05).

 

At September 30, 2015 total assets were $505.3m (March 31, 2015 - $508.7m) and net assets were $231.2m (March 31, 2015 - $232.7m).
