Fair enough, but what is needed is forward price momentum. From memory there are circa 18m of carbon credits o/s @ stressed price, but dont know what maturity profile is. Realistically all the projects are small so even if maturing ccs are reinvested in new projects what is going to drive price? I struggle to see where critical mass will come from and it is all very well having a cash shell with a few projects, but black hole projects can and do dissipate cash.

Financial Review for the period to 30 June 2012

Camco has had a successful first half of 2012 finishing with increased adjusted net cash of EUR11.7m compared to EUR8.0m at the beginning of January 2012.

Revenue earned (excluding carbon price fair value adjustment) increased to EUR12.2m compared to EUR7.1m (H1 2011) and EUR10.2m (FY 2011).

The restructuring of the carbon portfolio achieved during the period resulted in the downwards carbon price fair value adjustment for the period of EUR2.1m being lower than it would have been pre-restructure and the board anticipates this effect to continue in future periods as volatility in the carbon price persists.

In total, revenue (including carbon price fair value adjustment) was EUR10.1 million compared to EUR12.3m (H1 2011) and negative EUR11.5m (FY 2011).

Our 4.5 MW clean energy biogas plant in Jerome, Idaho was ramping up during the period and therefore reflect a limited contribution to revenue in H1 2012. That plant is now fully operational and is anticipated to contribute significantly more to the segmental result in the second half.

The carbon business contributed revenue of EUR10.2m excluding the carbon price fair value adjustment (H1 2011: EUR6.4m). Looking ahead to the second half of the year and into 2013, we expect to record more revenue from our 2012-20 carbon portfolio as our projects become operational with a corresponding increase in accrued income in accordance with our accounting policies. As cash is received from carbon contracts as they deliver credits through to 2020, this accrued income balance will reduce. We may also choose to enter into structured forward sales of credits, which will have the effect of converting accrued income into cash at that point.

Carbon operating expenditure was reduced to EUR1.9m (H1 2011: EUR2.7m), which we anticipate reducing further in the second half and beyond.

Overall administrative expenses during the period were EUR6.5m compared to EUR6.4m (H1 2011) and EUR7.0m in the second half of 2011 (EUR13.4m (FY 2011)). We will continue to keep a tight control over costs in order to preserve cash for investment in project development activities.

Profit from continuing operations for the period was EUR1.1m compared to EUR2.6m (HY 2011) and a loss of EUR29.6m (FY 2011).

Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR1.7m to EUR16.1m with adjusted net cash increasing by EUR3.7m to EUR11.7m at the period end from FY 2011. Adjusted net cash excludes cash restricted for sole use in construction of projects and debt secured against a project which will be amortized over the life of that project. The increase in cash takes account of the sale of the UK advisory business, final amounts spent on the North America clean energy biogas plant and net cash flows from operating activities.

Operational Review

North America

In the US, Camco's 4.5 MW clean energy biogas plant became fully operational during the period. The project was completed on time and ahead of budget. The project also received a grant of approximately US $6m from US Treasury in August 2012, the majority of which will be used to repay a loan which was used to fund part of the construction of the project.

The company will continue to develop its portfolio of biogas projects across North America and looks forward to making further announcements as projects come on-line.

Our US team has continued to develop our agricultural carbon portfolio for use in the California market, which will be the second largest after the EU ETS when it begins in 2013. Camco continues to lead the agricultural biogas sector in the US, with 2.5m tonnes now under management and the largest number of "Livestock Gas Capture/Combustion" projects registered under the Climate Action Reserve (CAR) standard.

South East Asia

The team is now developing a pipeline of projects that will generate clean energy using local regulatory incentives. As part of this strategy the team acquired a 2 MW biogas development project in August 2012 to recover biogas containing methane from palm oil mill effluent. Construction of the project is expected to be completed in early 2013. The team is pursuing further development of biogas and energy efficiency projects.

In H1 we completed 13 carbon project registrations and are aiming to complete registration of the remaining projects in time for the registration deadline at the end of this year.

Camco's South East Asia's net cash balance as at 30 June 2012 (within its joint venture) was EUR7.3m (not included within Group cash balance).

China

Our team in China has been working hard on developing and registering its portfolio of carbon projects in time for the 2012 registration deadline. We are also exploring opportunities to build on our carbon project success and develop new clean energy projects in the region.

Our team has now successfully registered 96 carbon projects and will pursue the registration of the remainder of its projects by the end of 2012. The team has also delivered 17.9m tonnes to 30 June 2012.

Camco's China carbon portfolio of CERs is structured to provide discounted future gross cash flows of EUR39.4m based on the forward price curve as at 30 June 2012 (see below).

Africa

Camco has six offices in Africa pursing clean energy and carbon reduction projects. Recent successes included a contract win in Tanzania, where Camco and Rex were awarded US $4.7m to bring solar power to off-grid communities in rural Tanzania, the contract value to Camco being US $1.1m

Other

As announced at the time of our 2011 results, the restructuring of Camco's carbon portfolio in H1 2012 was a significant event and aligns it with current market conditions.

The following tables outline CER discounted future gross cash flows as at 30 June 2012 (the date of the last review) based on the forward curve at that date. A price sensitivity analysis is also included to show how movements in the forward price curve will impact this value.

Finally, our non-core UK Advisory business was sold in early 2012 for initial consideration of GBP3.25m (EUR3.8m) to allow the Company to focus on its core markets.

We were also pleased to welcome Jonathan Marren to the role of Chief Financial Officer shortly after the period end.

Outlook

Over the last half year the Company has laid the groundwork to further expand its clean energy business in each of its regions. Clean energy opportunities in North America, Asia and Africa are now the Company's core focus and we anticipate an expansion of our clean energy project portfolio.

In North America, Asia and Africa this utilizes two trends: the growth in regulatory incentives, feed-in tariffs and grants available; and the continuing reduction in clean tech technology costs. Camco is excellently positioned to benefit from these trends in each of its regions. Our technical expertise, project development prowess and established local experts have placed us in the lead in these markets.

Our existing Asian carbon portfolio will deliver value to shareholders as it matures over the coming years. In North America, we hold a leading position in that carbon market. We expect our North American presence to expand as opportunities grow in an active compliance market after initial auctioning of allowances commences later this year. New regional carbon markets in Australia, Africa and China, commencing shortly, will provide Camco with great opportunities to expand its carbon development business alongside its clean energy development business

Yes indeed Howard. Add into the mix their recent resource upgrade, increased production, the fact they are trading profitably and on a current P/E of 5 with profits growing at a good rate annually. Future P/E of maybe 3. And they are fully funded, like CAO, with plenty of cash in the bank. Ought to be trading on a P/E of 10 at 22p per share.

Both these look incredibly undervalued - more so than PAA right now which has short-termers still buzzing around - you know they will sell into any rise because of the desperate daily ramping! When they're gone, and the share price is back below 15p (might happen immediately after results - which I'm expecting to be poor from 2011), I hope to have made good profits in CAO and GDP to rebuy into PAA for a long-term hold.

lol, i didn't need a tipster either for here or SEV. and i would argue the CAO share price is actually becoming less dependent on the carbon price given the biogas project news. this is a strong buy all the way. give it until summer at least i'd say.
Posted at 11/12/2011 07:49 by moosh2
hemel...thanks. looks like CAO share price was rising alongside CER price then last 2 days? am i assuming it's in anticipation of Durban outcome? dunno. sucking it so will see.

all is clear again.

at least something was 'finalised'. don't know wot all the fuss is all about. why couldn't they just send a blanket email to all the delegates saying 'reduce carbon footprint or you'll get charged lots of tax if you don't. end of'. would've saved tonnes in carbon air miles. i suppose they have to justify their jobs somehows.
Posted at 09/12/2011 18:19 by moosh2
aren't they the CDC accruels? and thus linked to carbon price? dunno.

2 choices, if carbon price goes belly up, they have to increase activity in project+advisory services. if carbon price recovers over next few years, then woopsy-do.

TRE's carbon portfolio took a bit of a thrashing as per today's RNS, but they're still undervalued with today's carbon price. no point worry about wot 'could' happen to the carbon price, and just see wot the reality of the carbon price is today.

i can't find any historical data/charts for carbon price anywhere on google. anyone? all i see are point carbon prices for the odd day in the odd month, but not good enough - i need actual historical data....i want to try something.

and don't forget the dairy biogas thing was being made ahead of schedule. who knows, an RNS relating to that completion early next year could spark an share price turnaround?! or it might not. how does the revenue thing from that work with CAO? anyone know?

i think CAO is puntworthy....better punts than AAT and HTT imo lol.

Peel Hunt said Buy today and have a 30p target price which it looks like will soon move higher:

"Portfolio on track

CAO has published a six-monthly update for its carbon portfolio that suggests it is on track to deliver the expected quantities. While CAO's future also depends upon its strategy of building a long-term project business, the delivery of the portfolio will determine earnings in the short term. Investors have begun to appreciate CAO's re-positioning and exposure to rising carbon
prices, but the share price has further to go. Buy.

 Portfolio progress. The most immediately valuable part of the portfolio, that
due for delivery before 2013 in specie, has increased slightly (3%) in the past six months to 26.6m tonnes. Importantly it continues to make good progress
through the UN regulatory mechanism, with 70.3% of this now "registered", up
from 62.2%.

 Issuance progress. The last six months has seen CAO being issued 1.3m
tonnes of its in specie carbon portfolio (to a total to date of 3.6m). This compares to the 2.0m tonnes issued in the 12 months to December 2010 and suggests CAO is on track to hit an issuance target for 2011 of 4.3m tonnes. This should then ratchet up to 7.1m tonnes in 2012 and 9.3m tonnes in 2013.

 New projects CAO has been focusing its efforts on building a post 2012/13
portfolio and is also making good progress, with in-specie tonnage +33% in six
months to 36.2m.

 Valuation We have not yet adjusted our valuation for the increase in post
2012/13 tonnage, which we had previously valued at €8.9m NPV (after
deducting a small level of corporate overheads out to 2015), but it is beginning to look conservative. Pricing post 2012/13 has also improved, with carbon for delivery in 2020 now fetching up to €17/tonne, compared to €13 for 2011 delivery, which suggests good forward momentum. Carbon prices have moved
upwards since the Japanese nuclear accident, to the levels that we use as a
base case, and could move higher. CAO is sensitive to such moves. We
estimate that a €1 change impacts SOTP value by 4p/share.

 Target price. Our fair value remains at 37p per share, which includes the value discussed for post 2012/13 credits as well as Russian ERUs, US projects, cash, and the Khazanah joint venture. We apply a 20% discount to this SOTP value to reflect complexity and risk, and this leaves us an unchanged target price of 30p.

Buy."
