Update on Further Drawdown Request
On 16 March 2009 Timan announced that Kamanisk Holdings Limited ("Kamanisk")
informed the board of the Company ("Board") on 13 March 2009 that, pursuant to a
drawdown request for $7.5 million, such funds would be made available to the
Company by 31 March 2009, with $300,000 made available within 3 business days.
On 23 March 2009 Timan received $300,000 from Kamanisk which enabled the Company
to continue to trade. The remainder of the $7.5 million requested from Kamanisk
was not received by the Company on 31 March 2009.
On 31 March 2009 Timan received a proposal from Kamanisk citing current economic
conditions and seeking to amend the loan facility of 29 September 2009 whereby,
inter alia, it provides up to $14.5 million over the course of the next 6
months. It is further proposed that Timan and Kamanisk jointly seek to attract a
strategic partner during the period up until 1 September 2009. Should such
search for a strategic partner fail and Kamanisk has at that point provided a
total of $25 million to the Company it is proposed that this be convertible into
51% of the issued shares capital of Timan (the original agreement stipulated
that $50 million would convert into 51%, which conversion valuation will remain
in place up until 1 September 2009).
The Company considers the principal terms of the loan restructuring proposal to
be acceptable and will be working to document the variation as a priority.
The Board believes it currently has two weeks worth of working capital subject
to agreeing satisfactory terms with its major creditors but it expects to
receive $500,000 from Kamanisk by 10 April 2009 with a further $1 million by 30
April 2009. As such the Board considers that the Company can continue to
trade in anticipation of receipt of the next tranche of monies.
As a result of these cash flow delays facing the Company, operations on NGPT are
progressing more slowly than planned. An operational update and further
financial updates will be made in due course.
