About Jade Road Investments
Jade Road Investments Limited is quoted on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange and is committed to providing shareholders with attractive uncorrelated, risk-adjusted long-term returns from a combination of realising sustainable capital growth and delivering dividend income.
The Company is focused on providing growth capital and financing to emerging and established Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector throughout Asia, and is well-diversified by national geographies, instruments and asset classes. This vital segment of the economy is underserved by the traditional banking industry for regulatory and structural reasons.
The Company's investment manager, Harmony Capital, seeks to capitalise on its team's established investment expertise and broad networks across Asia. Through rigorous diligence and disciplined risk management, Harmony Capital is dedicated to delivering attractive income and capital growth for shareholders with significant downside protection through selectively investing in assets and proactively managing them.

The information contained within this announcement is deemed to constitute inside information as stipulated under the retained EU law version of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (the "UK MAR") which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The information is disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of the UK MAR. Upon the publication of this announcement, this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.
Chairman's Statement
The successful partial disposal of Meize Energy Industries ("Meize), a leading privately owned wind turbine blade manufacturing company in China, at a 22% premium to the carrying value as at the 31st of December 2021, helped validate Jade Road's investment strategy during challenging times for the capital markets.
The past six months continued to pose a challenging period for the Chinese economy as it faces the slowest GDP growth forecast in four decades.
Notwithstanding these difficult times, Jade Road successfully completed the partial divestment of Meize, demonstrating that the Company has the in-country resources and expertise to work closely with portfolio companies to achieve investment returns.
Total income increased to USD1.56 million from interest income and profit, compared to the corresponding period in the previous year (H1 2021: USD1.24 million).
Net profit increased to USD1.02 million (H1 2021: USD0.27 million loss) while consolidated profit per share (basic) increased to USD0.88 compared to a loss of USD0.24 (H1 2021).
Investment Portfolio
Jade Road's largest shareholding is an 85% stake in Future Metal Holdings Limited (FMHL), the largest magnesium dolomite quarry in Shanxi Province. The gradual removal of travel restrictions in China is helping FMHL to reach out to new clients with a further geographical radius for its high-end products. The investment team's focus is on achieving a partial or complete sale of this asset and a formal sales process has been initiated with this objective in mind.
In June 2022, the Company announced the partial divestment via a share purchase agreement (SPA) for 112,500 shares of the Series B Preferred Equity in Meize for a consideration of USD1.2 million. The consideration for the disposal was to be received in three equal tranches of USD400,000. The first of these tranches was received in June, the second and third tranche payments of USD400,000 were received in July and August, thereby completing the transaction.
The core investment strategy remains to pivot away from China and focus on the broader Asian SME subsector, which is showing greater resilience than larger companies in terms of recovery and build a base of income generating assets that covers overheads, management fees and finance costs, with a growing surplus to fund dividends.
The Board is confident that significant opportunities exist for Jade Road going forward, particularly investment candidates in the IT, Fintech, Healthcare and online commerce sectors in Southeast Asia.
A good example is Jade Road's investment in Singapore-based DocDoc, which continues to develop its Neo Insurer model.
ESG
Environmental, Social and good corporate Governance is integral to Jade Road's responsible investment approach., which is executed through its Investment Manager, Harmony Capital.
Post Balance Sheet Events
The partial disposal of the Company's interest in Meize Energy for $1.2m was announced in June 2022. $800k of the total $1.2m consideration was received in two tranches in July and August . As reported, the partial divestment of Meize implies a valuation of USD10 million and a premium of 22.0% to the carrying value as at the 31st of December 2021 (USD8.2 million). Following this transaction, Jade retains a 6.3% stake in Meize.
The Board remains confident in the longer term prospects of this and its other portfolio investments.
Summary
Whilst China falters, the Asian Development Bank has reported that "developing Asia's economies are forecast to grow 5.2% this year and 5.3% in 2023, thanks to a robust recovery in domestic demand and continued expansion in exports". The Board of the Company and the Investment Manager's assessment is that Asian SMEs continue to provide investment opportunities for the Company as strong, income-generating assets, at an attractive entry point for Jade. Given the stage of growth of many of these SMEs, the Investment Manager continues to pursue a strategy of structuring investments through credit instruments where possible. Coupled with continued divestments from our Chinese legacy assets, the Company believes this investment strategy will create a better constructed portfolio with near-term downside protection.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the investment team for the successful completion of the partial divestment in Meize, proving that with patience and perseverance, deals can still be done.
I would also like to thank our shareholders for your continued support, and I look forward to updating you on progress.

Future Metal Holdings Limited ("FMH")
Our largest asset by value is the dolomite quarry project ("Quarry") in China, Future Metal Holdings Limited ("FMHL"), which was previously known as Hong Kong Mining Holdings. The Company has an 85% shareholding in FMHL.
JADE has been exploring the option of a partial or full exit of this investment by actively engaging with interested parties on the ground in the Shanxi Province as well as with brokers in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Including loan disbursements provided by the Company to FMHL and its subsidiaries and accrued PIK interest, the estimated fair value of the Company's investment is US$ 50.7 million as of 30 June 2022.
Meize Energy Industries Holdings Limited ("Meize")
Swift Wealth Investments Limited, a 100% (2019: 100%) owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, held a 7.2% stake in Meize through a redeemable preference share structure.
Meize is a privately owned company that designs and manufactures blades for both onshore and offshore wind turbines.
In June 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement for 112,500 shares of the Series B Preferred Equity in Meize for consideration of USD1.2 million. The transaction price implies a valuation of USD10.0 million for the Company's investment in Meize.
The partial divestment was completed by the end of August 2022. The Company held approximately 6.3% interest in Meize post this divestment.
As of 30 June 2022, the Company's interest in Meize had a fair value of US$ 8.8 million based on an implied valuation following the divestment of 112,500 shares.
Infinity TNP
The Company maintains a 40% equity stake of Infinity Capital Group Limited's ("ICG") wholly-owned subsidiary Infinity TNP, which holds units in a luxury hotel-condominium called Tellus Niseko.
Tellus Niseko is a unique development in Hirafu Village, with its high-end concierge service, an in-house Michelin star chef-managed restaurant, in-room onsen (hot spring) baths, and prime location just minutes away from the Grand Hirafu ski lifts.
The local team has been closely monitoring the local condition, the reservation for this winter is available now. The Investment Manager and Board of the Company is also evaluating its options for recovering its initial investment with all options under consideration.

Infinity Capital Group Limited ("ICG")
Ultimate Prosperity Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, holds a Secured Loan to ICG.
ICG develops premium residential projects in Hirafu Village, a world-class ski village in Niseko, Japan - one of the most popular winter travel destinations in the world.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact Japan and the Hokkaido region, ICG has been working closely with the local management to monitor the domestic property market and the local market's response to the pandemic, including construction project planning and potential movements in property prices.
As of 30 June 2022, the carrying value of the Secured Loan was US$ 1.5 million taking into account the current face value of the instrument and cash interest receivable, less an Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") provision of US$ 38k against aged cash interest receivables. The Company has decided to escalate its efforts to ensure an exit from this position including taking legal action while also pursuing consensual avenues.
DocDoc Pte Ltd. ("DocDoc")
DocDoc is a Singapore-headquartered online network of over 23,000 doctors, 600 clinics, and 100 hospitals serving a wide array of specialities. It uses artificial intelligence, cutting-edge clinical informatics, and proprietary data to connect patients to doctors which fit their needs at an affordable price.

As of 31 December 2021, we have applied a 100% provision against GCCF. Given there is no GCCF number in this item, we separated the two primary components namely Project Nicklaus and Loan to HKMH.
