During 2023, the Company continued to dispose of non-core investment holdings that have been struggling in recent years in order to generate proceeds to capitalize on new investment opportunities that Fountain believes will ultimately yield greater long term economic benefits for the Company and its shareholders.

2023年期間,公司繼續處置近年來一直處於困境的非核心投資持股,以創造收益,利用新的投資機會,Fountain認爲這些機會最終將爲公司及其股東帶來更大的長期經濟利益。

The Company continued to maintain low operating expenses in Q4/23, which helped reduce the net comprehensive loss of the Company. As at December 31, 2023, the Company's net assets were valued at $6.66 million or $0.11 per share compared to $11.84 million or $0.19 per share at December 31, 2022.

該公司在23年第四季度繼續保持較低的運營支出,這有助於減少公司的淨綜合虧損。截至2023年12月31日,該公司的淨資產價值爲666萬美元,合每股0.11美元,而截至2022年12月31日,該公司的淨資產爲1184萬美元,合每股0.19美元。

"In Fiscal 2023, Fountain continued to focus on its growth-oriented goals by exiting non-core portfolio investments and capitalizing on investment opportunities in sectors that the Company believes will see rapid growth. While Q4/23 saw the Company realize additional losses from the sale of investments, Fountain believes the disposition of these investments was necessary for the Company to re-position itself to take advantage of market trends. As the Company continues to add new investments to its portfolio, we believe Fountain should see returns on these investments that will help add financial strength to the Company in 2024," said Andrew Parks, CEO of Fountain.

“在2023財年,Fountain繼續專注於其以增長爲導向的目標,退出非核心投資組合投資,並利用公司認爲將實現快速增長的行業的投資機會。儘管2023年第四季度公司因出售投資而蒙受了額外損失,但Fountain認爲,處置這些投資對於公司重新定位以利用市場趨勢是必要的。隨着公司繼續在其投資組合中增加新的投資,我們認爲Fountain應該從這些投資中獲得回報,這將有助於在2024年增強公司的財務實力。” Fountain首席執行官安德魯·帕克斯說。
