Operating and financial review

Financial results and commentary

Revenue from continuing operations of ASF Group Limited (‘the company’) and its controlled entities (referred to hereafter as the ‘Group ) for the year ended 30 June 2016 was $1,119,000 (2015: $639,000). With the launching of the Hope Island project in the Gold Coast, property marketing services performed briskly and provided revenue contributions to the Group for the year.

Due to the uneven softening of the resources sector as well as volatility in the financial markets, the Group’s results were adversely affected. For the financial year ended 30 June 2016, the Group recorded an impairment loss in the fair value of its investments in listed companies. Consolidated loss after tax attributable to members of the Group amounted to $15,253,000 (2015: $14,226,000), which was attributed by the following:

  • Impairment of listed investments of $6,411,000;

  • Share of losses of associates of $1,065,000;

  • Write off of tenement assets of $1,346,000; and

  • Interest expenses and other finance costs $805,000.

Financial position

During the year, the company obtained convertible loan facilities from a series of sophisticated investors for an aggregate principal amount of $10 million. As of the date of this report, the facility has been fully drawn down and not converted.

In September 2015, the company further announced that it had obtained an irrevocable commitment from Star Diamond Developments Limited for the granting of a standby convertible note facility of up to $5 million, which secures additional source of funds for the company if required. The term of the irrevocable commitment has been extended to 31 December 2016 with maturity date being 12 months from the date of initial drawdown of the facility. As of the date of this report, the facility has not been drawn down.

Finance costs amounted to $805,000 (2015: $484,000) largely representing interest on the convertible loan facilities.

Net assets as at 30 June 2016 were $12,447,000, compared to $28,249,000 at 30 June 2015. The decrease in net assets was predominantly due to:

  • Decrease in the net fair value of listed investments of $6,411,000; and

  • Increase in outstanding convertible loans (including interests) of approximately $10,789,000.

In accordance with the terms of the aforementioned convertible loan, the company may at any time prior to the maturity date of 31 December 2016 elect to convert the entire loan into ordinary shares of the company or other wholly owned subsidiaries of the company. Upon conversion of the said loan, the net asset position will be significantly improved.

During the financial year, the company bought back 582,894 shares for a cost of $180,000. On 12 April 2016, the Company announced the extension of buyback program for a further 12 months from 26 April 2016. This signals continued confidence in the future performance of the company’s asset base.

As of 30 June 2016, the Group maintained a cash balance of $2,497,000.
