Bisichi Mining PLC
Half year review - 30 June 2017
For the six month period ending on 30 June 2017, Bisichi Mining PLC achieved
earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of GBP1.4million
(2016: GBP1.0 million).
During the first six months of this year production at Black Wattle, our direct
coal mining asset in South Africa, was impacted by higher than expected
seasonal rains as well as ongoing stone contamination issues at our opencast
areas. Overall, the mine achieved total production of 582,000 metric tonnes
(2016: 795,000 metric tonnes) during the period reported evenly spread between
both quarters. Although this was an improvement on the 466,000 metric tonnes
achieved in the second half of last year, management has planned for further
progress to be made in developing our opencast areas and increasing production
in the second half of the year.
We are pleased to report that the majority of the new infrastructure
improvements to the coal washing plant, as reported to shareholders in our
annual report earlier this year, have now been completed. The new
infrastructure will assist in reducing stone contamination through the washing
plant and will allow Black Wattle to mine at a higher rate of production at our
opencast areas and increase yield.
In terms of markets, the demand for our coal has remained strong and
international and domestic coal prices have continued to remain stable for most
of the first half of 2017. Overall, the increase in group revenue compared to
the same period last year can mainly be attributed to the appreciation of the
Rand against our reporting currency (UK Sterling) as well as improved coal
prices. In turn, the increase in group operating costs compared to the same
period last year can also mainly be attributed to the appreciation of the Rand
against our reporting currency as well as increased mining costs at our new
opencast mining areas.
Black Wattle continues to perform well under the Quattro Programme, which
allows junior black-economic empowerment coal producers direct access to the
coal export market via Richards Bay Coal Terminal. We would like to thank
Vunani Limited, our black economic empowered shareholders at Black Wattle, for
managing and developing this opportunity.
Looking forward to the rest of this year, management will continue to focus on
improving levels of production at Black Wattle in order to benefit from the
various infrastructure improvements we now have in place.
At present, the Board has no new material information to report in regard to
the acquisition of the Pegasus coal project, the details of which was reported
to shareholders in our Annual report.
Finally, the Company's UK retail property portfolio, which is managed by London
& Associated Properties PLC, continues to perform well with voids across the
portfolio at the low level of 1.6% (2016: 2.0%). Revenue from our directly
owned property portfolio increased to GBP0.56million (2016: GBP0.53million) during
the period reported.
Your directors intend to pay an interim dividend of 1p per share which will be
paid on the 9 February 2018, to shareholders on the register at the close of
business on 5 January 2018.
On behalf of the Board we would like to thank all our staff for their hard work
during the first six months of the year.

3. Earnings/ (loss) per share
Both the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are based on a
profit of GBP253,000 (2016: GBP182,000). The basic earnings per share has been
calculated on a weighted average of 10,676,839 (2016: 10,676,839) ordinary
shares being in issue during the year. The diluted earnings per share has been
calculated on the weighted average number of shares in issue of 10,676,839
(2016: 10,676,839) plus the dilutive potential ordinary shares arising from
share options of nil (2016: nil) totalling 10,676,839 (2016: 10,676,839).
4. Investment properties
Investment properties are included at valuation as at 31 December 2016 plus
additions in the period ended 30 June 2017.
5. Related Parties
The related parties and the nature of costs recharged are as disclosed in the
group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. The
group paid management fees of GBP68,750 (30 June 2016: GBP68,750 31 December 2016:
GBP137,500) to London & Associated Properties PLC, an associated company.
6. Financial information
The above financial information does not constitute statutory accounts within
the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures for the
year ended 31st December 2016 are based upon the latest statutory accounts,
which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies; the report of the
auditors on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement
under Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial
Services Authority, the interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in
accordance with both IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the
European Union and the disclosure requirements of the Listing Rules.
The half year results have not been audited or subject to review by the
company's auditors.
The annual financial statements of Bisichi Mining PLC are prepared in
accordance with IFRS as adopted by European Union. The same accounting policies
are used for the six months ended 30 June 2017 as were used for the year ended
31 December 2016.
The assessment of new standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not
effective, are not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial
statements. The following new or revised standards that are applicable to the
group were issued but not yet effective:
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
IFRS 16 - Leases
The largest areas of estimation and uncertainty in the interim financial
statements are in respect of:
* The valuation of investment properties;
* Life of mine and reserves;
* Depreciation;
* Provision for rehabilitation (relating to environmental rehabilitation of
mining areas);
* Impairment and;
* Carrying values of mining joint ventures
Investment properties are not re-valued at the half year end unless there is
evidence of a material change in valuation. There have been no material changes
in fair value during the period. Please refer to page 58 of the 2016 Annual
report and Accounts for details on the valuation of investment properties as at
31 December 2016.
Other areas of estimation and uncertainly are referred to in the group's annual
financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the basis of
accounting of key estimates and judgements as disclosed in the annual report as
at 31 December 2016.
There is no material seasonal impact on the group's financial performance.
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using tax rates expected to
be applicable to total annual earnings.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis
as the Directors are satisfied the group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future.
7. Dividend
The interim dividend in respect of 2016, totalling GBP107,000 was paid on the
10th of February 2017. The final dividend in respect of 2016, totalling GBP
320,000 was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held
on the 7th June 2017 and was paid on the 28th July 2017. The final dividend in
respect of 2016 is included as a liability in these interim financial
statements.
A proposed interim dividend for the year ended 31 December 2017 totalling GBP
107,000 was approved by the Board of Directors on 31 August 2017 and has not
been included as a liability in these Interim Financial Statements.
8. Principal risks and uncertainties
The Group has an established risk management process which works within the
corporate governance framework as set out in the 2016 Annual Report and
Accounts. Risks and uncertainties identified by the Group are set out on page
10 of the 2016 Annual Report & Accounts and are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
There have been no significant changes in the first half of 2017 to the
principle risks and uncertainties as set out in the 2016 Annual Report &
Accounts.
The principal risks as stated in the accounts reflect the challenging
environment in which the business operates and are considered under the
