Amedeo Resources PLC
("Amedeo" or the "Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2017
Investments
Progress at Jiangsu Yangzijiang Offshore Engineering Co. Ltd's
("YZJ Offshore") marine vessel yard on its first order, a Le
Tourneau Super 116E Class design self-elevating mobile offshore
jack up drilling rig ("Explorer 1"), continues, and the yard is
preparing to deliver the rig.
Amedeo has an indirect 19.0% stake in YZJ Offshore which it
holds through its 47.5% stake in the joint venture company, YZJ
Offshore Engineering Pte Ltd.
With the recovering iron ore price, MGR Resources PTE Ltd
("MGR") stepped up its activities in this area utilising the
working capital it borrowed from Amedeo. Also, with the improving
environment, MGR is exploring further expanding its activities.
Amedeo has a 49.0% stake in MGR.
In January 2017, Amedeo acquired a 2.5% stake in Ganjin Kani
Company ("GKC") for US$500,000, a copper mining company. GKC is a
producing miner which has, to date, extracted around 1m tonnes of
ore. GKC has three mines. Plans are being made to assess to Western
Standards the potential copper concentrate and cathode resource in
GKC's mines.
MGR intends to work with GKC to supply copper to East Asia.
Financial Review
Revenue consists of various business services, invoiced in GBP,
which Amedeo provides to MGR. During the six months, revenue was
US$54,000 (2016: US$56,000), with the variance being entirely due
to currency fluctuations.
Administrative costs were US$315,000 (2016: US$299,000). The
increase was primarily due to fees associated with making the
investment in GKC.
Amedeo's share of losses in associates was US$502,000 (2016:
US$2,000). This was made up of a loss of US$410,000 (2016: profit
of US$13,000 due to certain contract work completed in 2016 which
was not repeated in 2017) at YZJ JV and a loss of US$92,000 (2016:
loss of US$15,000) at MGR.
Foreign exchange gain amounts to US$22,000 (2016: loss of
US$267,000). These were predominately due to translating GBP
denominated loans into US$ and translating GBP bank balances at the
period end exchange rate. This is a non-cash item.
Finance income increased to US$87,000 (2016: US$10,000) due to
interest on additional loans made to MGR of GBP1,800,000 from
Amedeo.
Overall loss on ordinary activities before taxation increased to
US$717,000 (2016: US$632,000). Basic and fully diluted loss per
share for the period was US$2.20 (2016: US$1.94).
Foreign exchange translation differences due to Amedeo's
indirect investment in YZJ Offshore were US$14,000 (2016: nil).
Overall total comprehensive loss for the period was US$731,000
(2016: US$632,000).
At the period end, the carrying value on the balance sheet of
investments in associates fell to US$13,869,000 (2016:
US$16,210,000), with the decrease being due to the share of loss of
associates.
Current assets fell to US$3,495,000 (2016: US$4,586,000). Cash
at 30 June 2017 was US$1,033,000 (2016: US$3,998,000) primarily
because of the acquisition of GKC and the loan to MGR in
January.
Trade and other payables decreased to US$117,000 (2016:
US$189,000) mainly due to accrued expenses which were settled
before the end in this period.
Overall, at the period end, net and total assets were
US$17,747,000 (2016: US$20,607,000) and US$17,864,000 (2016:
US$20,796,000), respectively.
Outlook
Despite the current difficulties in both the marine vessels
market and the and commodity markets, Amedeo is well resourced and
remains focused on long term strategy of building a vertically
integrated business in the resource and energy and related
infrastructure sectors.
