The investment company, which focuses on real estate, infrastructure and natural resources, said it made a USD216,718 loss for the period between May 17 and September 30.
Myanmar Investments put the loss down to "marginally higher than expected operating costs," which it blames on the "scarcity of both high quality human resources and office space in Myanmar."
However, the investment company has a balance sheet, with cash and bank balances adding up to USD5.2 million.
As the company is yet to make its first investment, it has made no revenue since raising USD6.1 million, before expenses, through the issuance of approximately 5.8 million shares at USD1.05 each earlier this year.
Net asset value as at September 30 was USD5.2 million, representing USD0.82 per share, a 3.5% decrease from the net asset value after admission to AIM. The company's administration costs totalled USD208,033.
"Overall positive changes in Myanmar continue and although it is a challenging operating environment the directors are pleased with what has been achieved during this initial phase of the company's evolution. Given the interesting deal flow the directors are confident that the company will be able to secure its first investment soon," Myanmar Investments said in a statement.
"MIL has been actively seeking and evaluating a strong pipeline of potential investments in a diverse range of sectors. There is no shortage of opportunities but there is a paucity of verifiable information," the company added.
In July the company established an office in Yangon and hired investment executive Tham Chee Chung as its Yangon-based investment director. Since then, five other local positions have been filled and there are plans to move to a larger office within December.
The company's shares were Friday untraded, at USD1.6. The shares were last traded on December 2.
