Scholium Group Plc provided earnings guidance for the second half ended 31 March 2020. For the year, the Group anticipates, as a whole, only a small loss for the six months to 31 March 2020, compared with the profit of £64,000 for the six months ended 30 September 2019. The Group still expects to have traded profitably for the year as a whole to 31 March 2020, which is a pleasing improvement compared to the small loss for the prior year. It is the Board's present expectation that the Group will incur a loss in the first half of the year to 30 September 2020 as a result of the disruption from Covid-19. The Board currently expects that not all of the anticipated first half loss will be recouped in the second half of the year. However, the continuing sales to date in present circumstances provide some encouragement that the Group will prevail to take advantage of opportunities as conditions hopefully begin to improve. The Group's retail premises are expected to re-open in mid- June.
