Financial results and commentary

ASF Group Limited (‘ASF’) is a Sino-Australian investment and trading house which focuses principally on the identification, incubation and realisation of opportunities across various industries including oil & gas, resource, property, infrastructure, travel and financial services.

Revenue from continuing operations of ASF and its controlled entities (together the ‘group’) for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 was $2,767,000 (2013: $1,748,000).

The profit after tax attributable to members of ASF amounted to $956,000, compared with last financial year of a significant loss of $30,505,000, due mainly to the provision for impairment on the group’s investments.

Profit for the year was also contributed by the following items:

  • Reversal of impairment of investment in Rey Resources Limited of approximately $6.5 million;

  • Profit on partial disposal of investment in ActivEX Limited of approximately $0.5 million; and

  • Recognition of $1.2 million arising from the settlement of a misappropriation claim against a major Australian Bank.

At the reporting date, the group has outstanding convertible loan (‘Convertible Loan’) due to Star Diamond Developments Limited (‘Star Diamond’) of $3.1 million, principal and interest. At a general meeting of ASF held on 8 August 2014, shareholders approved the conversion of all outstanding Convertible Loans (including accrued interest) into shares of ASF at the price of $0.18 per share. Accordingly, the Convertible Loan (inclusive of interest) was subsequently repaid in full by the issue of 17,490,411 fully paid ordinary shares of ASF on 8 August 2014.

Finance costs amounted to $897,000 (2013: $1,037,000), which mainly represented accrued interests for the Convertible Loan.

Financial position

On 13 March 2014, ASF announced the extension of its on-market share buyback program for another 12 months. For the year ended 30 June 2014, ASF spent approximately $81,000 on this program and a total of 449,657 shares were bought back.

Net assets as at 30 June 2014 were $18,299,000, compared to $1,159,000 for the previous year. The significant increase in net assets this year was predominantly due to:

  • Conversion of the principal amount of $8 million Convertible Loan; and

  • Reversal of impairment in Rey Resources Limited.

The group maintains a strong cash position. In July 2014, ASF announced a fully underwritten non-renounceable 1 for 8 Rights Issue which was completed in early August and raised approximately $10 million (before costs).

Principal Investments

ActivEX Limited

ActivEX Limited (‘AIV’) is an ASX listed mineral exploration company holding a number of prospective tenements, principally targeting copper-gold and gold mineralisation in Queensland. AIV also holds a potash project in Western Australia, which has an established resource and a granted mining lease.

In February 2014, the group subscribed for 47,192,105 shares under its entitlement in the non-renounceable 1 for 2 Rights Issue of AIV at a price of $0.012 per share.

During the financial year, the group transferred a total of 58,241,768 fully paid ordinary shares of AIV to the nominee of Star Diamond as partial conversion of the Convertible Loan. Subsequently in June 2014, the group further disposed of 60 million shares of AIV to Great Scheme Investments Limited at a price of $0.0175 per share. The partial disposal of investment in AIV generated a profit of approximately $527,000.

At the reporting date, the group interested in approximately 16.1% in the issued capital of AIV.

Minerals and Resources

ASF Resources Limited (Thermal Coal)

The projects held by ASF Resources Ltd are located 150km east of Derby in Western Australia within the northern Canning Basin. During 2014 further tenement rationalisation was carried out with the relinquishment of E04/1887 (Verity Bore), E04/1428 (Gum Bore), E04/1435 (Merilee Bore). In addition E04/1670 was significantly reduced with the portion retained being adjacent and to the east of the Rey Resources Duchess Paradise thermal coal project. Ongoing review of the overall coal prospectively continued in 2014.

ASF Kaili Resource Pty Limited (Thermal Coal)

ASF Kaili comprises two tenements located in the northern Canning Basin adjacent and to the east of the Rey Resources Duchess Paradise thermal coal project.

Following the review CCR will be relinquishing the southern portion of E70/4403 where potential coal mineralisation is at uneconomic depth based on current market conditions to focus on shallower coal mineralisation in the north of the project.

In Tasmania, CCR manage two base metal projects located in north (Wilmont) and west (Lake Pieman) Tasmania. Both projects have been reviewed in light of recent encouraging field work with a view to further field work in the second half of 2014.
