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.
