APPLIED INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL LIMITED
Working Capital Update
Applied Intellectual Capital Limited ("AIC") (AIM: AINC) funds, develops,
patents and commercializes electrochemical and advanced separations technologies
in clean energy, electricity storage, water treatment, metals recovery and other
emerging markets.
As announced on 19 January 2009, AIC is in continuing discussions with ITI
Scotland Ltd ("ITI") regarding GBP3.86m owed to ITI by AIC and which is due for
repayment on 1 July 2009. In addition, discussions continue with parties
potentially interested in funding one or more individual ventures.
AIC has also previously announced the resignation of its NOMAD effective 3 March
2009 and the likely implications of this, including suspension of its shares on
3 March 2009 and cancellation of admission to AIM on April 3 2009.
The Board has sought and continues to seek a resolution to this situation such
that the company would not face removal from AIM. This has included the
feasibility of raising additional working capital by the end of March to satisfy
the AIM rules The Board believes it is appropriate to disclose estimates of the
funds which AIC would need to raise in order to secure working capital of an
amount adequate to enable AIC to remain on AIM, based on some possible
scenarios.
The figures provided below are for illustrative purposes only:
Scenario1: would require approximately US$15-17 million of new funds before the
end of March, assuming the GBP3.86m debt owed to ITI Scotland Ltd (ITI) is
repaid on 1 July 2009, as currently proposed; or
Scenario 2: would require approximately US$9m-10m of new funds before the end of
March. This scenario assumes that negotiations to secure funding for one or more
ventures could be concluded by that date; or
Scenario 3: would require approximately US$8m-US$10m of new funds before the end
of March. This scenario assumes that venture funding is not secured by that
date but the ITI debt is eliminated; or
Scenario 4: would require approximately US$2m-US$4m of new funds before the end
of March. This scenario assumes that both venture funding is secured and the ITI
debt is eliminated by that date.
Given the company's present circumstances and current market conditions, the
Board believes that it is not likely to secure sufficient funding for any of
these scenarios in time to enable AIC to remain on AIM. The Board is also
mindful of the significant dilution of current shareholders' interests which
would result from equity funding in present circumstances.
It is in this context that the circular to shareholders dated 19 January 2009
called for the voluntary cancellation of trading of the Company's shares on AIM
by shareholder vote for the reasons provided in the circular (including cost
savings and the presently low valuation of AIC shares on AIM). As noted in the
circular, unless relevant circumstances intervene, the directors recommend that
shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to cancel trading of the Company's
shares on AIM, as they have undertaken to do in respect of their own
shareholdings.
