TIDMAMBR RNS Number : 4705X Ambrian Capital PLC 07 December 2010 7 December 2010 AMBRIAN CAPITAL PLC TRADING UPDATE Ambrian Capital plc ("Ambrian" or the "Group") today issues a trading update based on unaudited management accounts. The second half ending 31 December 2010 has so far seen a significant improvement in the Group's financial performance compared to the first half of the year. The key drivers of this improved financial performance are: · a convincing return to profitability of Ambrian Partners Limited as a result of H2 2010 revenues that are expected to be approximately double H1 2010 revenues as well as the benefits arising from a lower cost base. Fund raisings in the second half of 2010 include acting as lead broker to Archipelago Resources plc's GBP28 million fund raising and joint-broker to Nautical Petroleum plc's GBP46.6 million placing of new and secondary shares; · continued growth in physical metals sales volumes with the total tonnage of refined copper supplied in H2 2010 expected to be approximately 130,000 tonnes (H1 2010: 110,892 tonnes); · a positive contribution, after start-up costs, from the new physical bio-fuels trading business which was established in August 2010; and · a strong performance from the Group's principal investment portfolio which has benefitted from the increase in the gold price. The decision has been taken to withdraw from the LME futures & options brokerage business by the end of the first quarter of 2011 to focus on trading physical metals and physical energy products which offer greater growth potential and higher returns on capital. The LME futures & options brokerage business is expected to generate profits before tax of approximately GBP250,000 (before closure costs) in the year ending 31 December 2010 and currently utilises GBP5 million of equity capital. In 2009, the LME futures & options brokerage business generated profits before tax of GBP224,020. Assuming current market conditions remain stable, we expect total income for the second half to be materially ahead of total income generated in the first half of 2010 and profits before tax and share-based payment charges to be in the region of GBP1.75 million for the second half of 2010, compared to GBP0.07 million in the first half of the year. Net asset value per share at 31 December 2010 is expected to be not less than 32.4p as reported at 30 June 2010. We look forward to 2011 with confidence based on the continuing growth of our physical commodities activities and sharp focus as the leading corporate financier and broker to the mid and small cap natural resources sector in London.
