There was a cash outflow from operations of £4.45m in 2009. ZincOx had £47m in the bank at the end of 2009.
Wynter Bee along with his fellow directors fought off an attempt to oust them from the board earlier in April.
All the resolutions at the requisitioned general meeting of ZincOx were defeated. US SDR LLC and Aldersgate Investment Managers, which own 5% of ZincOx between them, were behind the requisition.
Few other shareholders supported the resolutions. The biggest vote in favour was equivalent to 5.93% of ZincOx's share capital and it was still less than 10% of the votes cast.
