The company has issued 22,235,000 new ordinary shares at 1p each after drawing down £222,350 against its facility with Jenard Properties. It has £350,000 left to draw down from the facility which would provide it with enough working capital to last until mid-July. Eatonfield is working on a scheme in south Wales with Jenard.
