("Fox Marble" or the "Company")

Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2020

Following our announcement of our full year results for the year ended 31 December 2019 earlier today, Fox Marble Holdings plc (AIM: FOX), the dimension stone company focused on marble quarrying and finishing in Kosovo and the Balkans, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Operational Highlights

-- Sales agreements worth in excess of EUR1.8 million signed for processed marble to be supplied to projects in Kosovo over 2020 and 2021 from our factory in Prilep. The agreements were signed in 2020 and are expected to be supplied over 2020 and 2021.

-- Quarrying operations restarted in Prilep in August 2020 and in Cervenillë in September 2020.

-- New equipment supplied to factory to boost cut to size capacity. The factory has processed over 3,500 tonnes of marble to date in 2020, despite the Covid-19 restrictions put in place, compared to slightly over 1,000 tonnes processed in 2019.

-- The Company reached agreement with the holders of GBP2.1 million of its convertible loan notes, to replace the existing loan notes with a new single class of loan note, which have a maturity date of 1 December 2026. The Loan Notes are convertible at a conversion price of 5p per share and an interest rate of 2% per annum. In June 2020 the Company completed a placing to raise GBP0.8 million before expenses, to provide working capital.

   --    Cash balance as at 15 September 2020 of EUR0.47 million. 

Financial Highlights

-- Revenue from the sale of marble products for the six months to 30 June 2020 decreased to EUR0.2 million (H1 2019: EUR1.0 million), as a result of the impact of Covid-19. Losses for the half year were EUR0.8 million (H1 2019: EUR0.8 million). Since the half year sales have shown improvement, with EUR0.4 million of revenue recorded to date.

-- Production at the Prilep quarry in the six months to 30 June 2020 fell to 816 tonnes from 6,652 tonnes in 2019. As a result of the lower block sale activity at the start of the year, due to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis, the quarry team at Prilep focused on quarry expansion in the first quarter of 2020. The quarry was closed in April 2020 as a result of the developing Covid-19 crisis, and reopened in August 2020.

Chris Gilbert, CEO, commented: "2020 has been an undoubtedly challenging year. The Company has been navigating the challenges of a global pandemic to ensure Fox Marble will be ready and able to emerge from this crisis. Already we are seeing positive signs, with new contracts for processed marble, and quarrying restarting in Prilep and Cervenillë. We are looking forward to a better second half of the year, and a successful 2021."

Operational Update

Sales

Sales for the half year were EUR0.2 million (2019 - EUR1.0 million), due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The prominence of China in the block marble market meant that sales of block marble showed a sharp drop from the start of 2020. As international borders were closed and the outbreak spread through Europe, the decision was made to temporarily close the quarry at Prilep for the safety of staff and to preserve working capital until such point as buyers returned to market. Operations at the factory were limited due to Covid-19 outbreak and a focus was made was made on processing materials that were shipped to clients in the second half of the year.

The Prilep quarry was reopened in August 2020 and the board will continue to closely watch the progress on the block market through the end of 2020 and into 2021.

Despite the low level of recorded revenue in first half of 2020, the new sales team has generated increased interest in the products, and discussions with large natural stone companies are ongoing to supply blocks for their project portfolios.

The formal opening of the Company's new showroom and office in Pristina in April 2020 is a demonstration of Fox Marble's confidence in the market growth potential of the region, both for its own processed products as well as providing cutting services to third parties.

A number of new contracts were signed for processing services and processed marble which are expected to form the backbone of sales through the end of 2020 and 2021.

-- In December 2019, the Company signed a contract for the processing of third-party blocks, which represents an additional revenue stream for the Company. Under this new third-party agreement, Fox Marble will process stone on behalf of Inter Stone LLC at the Company's factory at Lipjan in Kosovo. The contract is for twelve months and it is expected that Fox Marble will continue to process blocks of material each month. Following this, the Company signed two further processing contracts in February 2020 with Egzoni Sh.P.K and Skifteri Sh.P.K.

-- In April 2020, Fox Marble signed a contract to supply up to 20,000 square metres of paving to a local municipality for the town square of Suhareka in Kosovo with the first 8000 square metres to be delivered by September 2020. Material already specified and contracted under the first two stages of the project has a total value in excess of EUR400,000, and once all 20,000 square metres have been supplied the project is expected to

be worth in excess of EUR750,000.   Fox Marble has already supplied over 5000 sqm of material. 

-- In June 2020, Fox Marble signed a contract to supply 35,000 square metres of cut and polished tiles to CC Apartments LLC. CC Apartments LLC is engaged in developing several prestigious projects including apartments in Kosovo, as well as Albania and surrounding countries. Fox Marble will be processing blocks of a range of marble from its own quarries for this project and supplying this material from its factory in Kosovo over the course of 2021 starting in January 2021. The total value of the contract is in excess of EUR700,000.

-- In July 2020, Fox Marble signed a new contract to supply 20,000 square metres of cut and polished paving tiles for installation in the town square for the Municipality of Podujeva in Kosovo. This contract has been entered into with the contractors charged with developing and completing the town square which will be paved with material exclusively supplied by Fox Marble. Fox Marble began supplying material for this project in

August 2020.    The total value of this contract is around EUR700k over 2020 and 2021. 

Factory

A 5,400 square metre double skinned steel factory for the cutting and processing of blocks into polished slabs and tiles has been erected on a 10-hectare site that the Company acquired in Lipjan in 2013, close to Pristina airport in Kosovo.

A new Factory Manager was appointed in 2019, Secundino Costas da Vila is a natural Stone professional with 30 years of experience in some of the top global companies.

Fox Marble is experiencing a developing local market for its processed material and range of products from cut and polished tiles to stair pieces, door and window lintels to slabs, driving increased production at the factory.

In June 2020, the Company announced that it had acquired two additional automatic CNC cutting machines to be installed in its factory in Kosovo. The two machines are manufactured by Simec Srl and Garcia Ramos SA and with the existing Gravellona Machine Marmo CNC machine will double the capacity to cut tiles. The machines have been installed and are now fully operational.

Quarry Operations

Prilep

The Company entered into an agreement to operate a quarry in Prilep, North Macedonia in 2013. The agreement was for a period of 20 years with an irrevocable option to extend the period for a further 20 years thereafter. The Prilep quarry contains a highly desirable white marble Alexandrian White and Alexandrian Blue. This is one of a small cluster of quarries, in the Stara river valley, overlooked by the Sivec pass.

The Company also has the rights to an additional quarry nearby, Prilep Omega, which it acquired in 2014.

Quarrying was suspended at Prilep in April 2020 as a result of the un-folding Covid-19 crisis. It was re-opened in August 2020.

Cervenillë

This site was the first of our quarries to be opened in November 2012. It is being exploited across three separate locations (Cervenillë A, B & C) from which red (Rosso Cait), red tinged grey (Flora) light and darker grey (Grigio Argento) marble is being produced in significant quantities. The polished slabs from this quarry have sold well.

The quarry was re-opened in September 2020 to address the anticipated upcoming demand for Argento Grigio from existing and future contracts.

Syriganë

The quarry at Syriganë is open across four benches. The site contains a variety of the multi-tonal Breccia and Calacatta-type marble and produces significant volumes of breccia marble in large compact blocks. Output is marketed as Breccia Paradisea (predominantly grey and pink) and Etrusco Dorato (predominantly gold and grey).

Growing marble reserves base and the opening of new quarries in Kosovo

The foundation of a successful and growing natural stone company is its reserves base. Fox Marble's strategy is to seek to grow this over the medium term, finding and aiming to open on average at least one new quarry a year in opportunity rich Kosovo. For 2020, two new potential quarries were identified and after initial examination of the resource the Company secured the licence over one new quarry site. Progress on developing the quarry is expected to start in 2021, subject to an initial drilling program. This will provide the opportunity to increase both block sales and processed marble from the factory from the end of 2021 onwards.

Maleshevë

Quarry production at the Maleshevë quarry in Kosovo was stopped in July 2019 as a result of the ongoing dispute with Green Power Sh.P.K.. The Company has filed civil claims in Kosovo against Green Power Sh.pk for breach of contract and damages, in addition to the wider Arbitration case launched against the Government of Kosovo, as announced in September 2019.

Financing

On 27 May 2020, the Company announced its intention to raise GBP0.8 million (before expenses) by the placing of 45,714,292 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 1.75 pence per share to existing and new investors. In connection with the placing 22,857,146 warrants were issued to the placees at an exercise price of 3.5 pence and which may be exercised for 18 months following the date of Admission.

The Company also reached agreement with the holders of GBP2.1 million of its CULNs. Under this agreement the Company has replaced the eight existing series of CULNs with a new single class of CULN which will have a maturity date of 1 December 2026 and will be convertible at any date from 1 June 2020 at a conversion price of 5p per share. The interest rate of the new CULN is 2% per annum payable half yearly on 1 June and 1 December.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2020

   1)    General information 

The principal activity of Fox Marble Holdings plc and its subsidiary and associate companies (collectively "Fox Marble Group" or "Group") is the exploitation of quarry reserves in the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of North Macedonia.

Fox Marble Holdings plc is the Group's ultimate Parent Company ("the parent company"). It is incorporated in England and Wales and domiciled in England. The address of its registered office is 160 Camden High Street, London, NW1 0NE. Fox Marble Holdings plc shares are admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market.

   2)    Basis of preparation 

The results presented in this report are unaudited and they have been prepared in accordance with the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union that are expected to be applicable to the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020.

The accounting policies applied in these results are consistent with those applied in the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ending 31 December 2019 and those expected to be applicable to the financial statements for the year ending 31 D ecember 2020.

This half yearly report does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for Fox Marble Holdings plc for the year ended 31 December 2019 were approved by the Board on 29 September 2020 and have been filed with 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. These condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting', as adopted by the European Union. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The Annual Report and Accounts 2019 for the Group are available at www.foxmarble.net .

   3)    Going concern 

The Directors have reviewed detailed projected cash flow forecasts and are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare this report on a going concern basis. In making this assessment they have considered:

   (a)    the current working capital position and operational requirements; 
   (b)   the timing of expected sales receipts and completion of existing orders; 
   (c)    the sensitivities of forecast sales figures over the next two years; 
   (d)   the timing and magnitude of planned capital expenditure; and 

(e) the level of indebtedness of the company and timing of when such liabilities may fall due, and accordingly the working capital position over the next 18 months.

The forecasts assume that production at the Prilep and Cervenillë quarries will continue, which were reopened respectively in August and September 2020. It further assumes that production at the factory will continue to operate and that recently installed machinery will drive an increase in the rate of production. The forecast assumes existing contracts held by the Company will be fulfilled on a timely basis Further the forecasts assume that sales of block marble will resume over the final quarter of 2020, in line with the reopening of international borders. Further the Company is anticipating significant growth in revenue through the realisation of existing sale contracts and offtake agreements as well as from newly generated sales.

There are several key risks and uncertainties that could impact the financial performance of the Company. These include the fact that levels of production at Cervenillë and Prilep can be impacted by unforeseen delays due to inclement weather or equipment failure; lower than expected quality of material being produced by the quarries; and delays in the fulfilment of the Company's order book. The continued progression of the Covid-19 may have a further detrimental impact on sales, and the resumption of block sales to the international block market may be slower than expected.

As at 15 September 2020 the Company has EUR0.47 million in cash.

If the cash receipts from sales are lower than anticipated the Company has identified that it has available to it a number of other contingent actions, in addition to those noted above, that it can take to mitigate the impact of potential downside scenarios. These include seeking additional financing, leveraging existing sale agreements, reviewing planned capital expenditure, reducing overheads and further renegotiation of the terms on its existing debt obligations.

In conclusion having regard to the existing and future working capital position and projected sales, the Directors are of the opinion that the application of the going concern basis is appropriate.
