POWER CAPITAL GLOBAL LIMITED
("Power Capital" or "the Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2014
Power Capital Global Limited (AIM:PCGB), the Asia based natural resources trading and logistics group, announces that it has today published its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2014.
Summary
During the period we have made only limited progress in furthering the development of an Asia based natural resources trading and logistics platform. We are operating in an extremely competitive environment where margins are generally under pressure and volume growth is modest to non existent. Against this background the Board is now undertaking a broad ranging review of strategy and of the opportunities available to PCGB. The Board will report to shareholders in due course when this exercise has been completed.
Indonesia
PCG Coal (Indonesia) Limited ("PCI"), our 51% joint venture operating company, has continued to manage its off-take agreement (the "Agreement") with PT Perdana Maju Utama ("PMU") for one million metric tonnes of thermal coal. PCI provided advance payments under the Agreement of US$2 million (the "Advance") in 2013 and these funds were used by PMU to commence commercial strip mining activities on its concession. Under an addendum signed in September 2013, PMU is permitted to sell its mined concession thermal coal direct to third party customers rather than to PCI but is required to compensate PCI at a rate of US$3.20 per metric tonne sold, comprised of two parts: (i) US$1.50 in commission payments; and (ii) a repayment of the Advance principal of US$1.70 (in aggregate, the "Compensation Payment"). The minimum committed monthly sales volume is agreed at 50,000 metric tonnes.
PCI invoiced PMU for the minimum monthly contract delivery of 50,000 metric tonnes in accordance with the Agreement, as amended, in the six-month reporting period. The Directors expect that this volume of coal will continue to be invoiced by PCI and subsequently settled going forward until the off-take commitment of one million metric tonnes of thermal coal is reached. At the date of this report, PCI has invoiced PMU for the Compensation Payment in respect of approximately 62% of the committed off-take volume under the Agreement (618,000 metric tonnes) of which GBP611,000 has been invoiced in the period under review.
The total value of commission income generated under the Agreement in the reporting period was approximately GBP287,000 and the balance on the Advance has been reduced under invoice by GBP324,000 to approximately GBP533,000 (US$837,000) as at the reporting date. A total amount of GBP401,000 was invoiced but unpaid at the end of the reporting period. GBP163,000 of this outstanding amount has subsequently been settled by PMU in the period after 30 June 2014.
The Company has made no material progress in further developing a vertically integrated tin dredging and smelting operation in Bangka, Indonesia. The next step in the development of this business opportunity is to commence cassiterite dredging operations and, for this stage of works to commence, the Company will need to secure additional funding.
Mongolia
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary PCG Mongolia Limited, owns a 1.4% equity stake in Asia Pacific Investment Partners Limited ("APIP"). APIP continues to progress well with its plan to secure a stock exchange listing in Singapore in early 2015.
TSI
The Company has made no further progress in its efforts to hold constructive discussions with the management and owners of TSI Holdings Limited ("TSI"). The Company continues to take formal steps to achieve redress over the current default on loan repayments from TSI using all forms of recourse available to it. The amount outstanding under the TSI facility (including accrued interest) is GBP0.69 million (US$1.09 million) and the Company fully provided for this sum in a prior accounting period.
Corporate Matters
Recurring operating costs have been reduced during the reporting period. The board agreed to suspend cash settlement of fee payments due to directors in August 2013, which took effect from 1 September 2013, with the exception of Mr Graham Newall who continued to receive his remuneration until January 2014. The total amount accrued but unpaid to directors at the end of the reporting period is GBP258,000. It remains the position of the Company's directors that the moratorium on the settlement of director fees should remain in place until the Company's funding and / or positive cashflow outlook is significantly improved.
Mr Newall resigned from the board of the Company in August 2014.
Summary
With continued performance under the existing PMU Indonesian coal off-take contract and after application of the cost savings that have recently been implemented by management, the Company is expected to benefit from marginal positive operating cashflow (absent unforeseen expenses) through July 2015. A successful listing of APIP would result in the Company's investment in that company becoming marketable, subject to any trading restrictions that may be applied to its shareholding at the time of listing, and any decision to liquidate this investment position is likely to provide the Company with an increase in cash resources. The strategic and business review currently underway is being undertaken against this background and the difficult market conditions in which the Company has been operating.
