ACTIVITY REVIEW

Activity during the Reporting Period was dominated by corporate activity to consolidate the Company’s financial position, and to ensure that it was well placed to take advantage of new business opportunities. This was consistent with the Company's previously announced intention to review alternate opportunities, and shift focus from its core exploration mining activities. This culminated on 4 June 2014 with an announcement that Red Gum had signed a binding Heads of Agreement with Perth based Holiday Planet Pty Ltd, as part of a strategy to move into the e-platform leisure and tourism industry. This was followed on 17 June 2014 with a further announcement that, following the signing of a similar Heads of Agreement, the Company was to acquire Asia Escape Holidays. Subsequently, a third acquisition, of Motive Travel, was announced on 2 July 2014. In each case completion is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, as well as successful completion of due diligence and certain conditions precedent.

As announced to the market on 4 June 2014, the proposed acquisition of Holiday Planet provides the Company with a solid foundation to further aggregate the segmented travel industry, to target scale and efficiencies. As part of the intended acquisition, the Company will undertake a capital raising, and seek to relist the Company. Under the terms of the Heads of Agreement, Red Gum will acquire 100% of the issued share capital in Holiday Planet for a consideration, on a post-consolidation basis, of 18,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Red Gum, at a deemed issue price of $0.20 each, to Holiday Planet Shareholders, together with a cash consideration of $1,000,000. The announcement also outlined a number of conditions precedent, which need to be met before settlement can occur, including approval from Red Gum's shareholders.

On 17 June 2014 Red Gum announced that it had signed a similar Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Keygate Holdings Pty Ltd, trading as Asia Escape Holidays. Also located in Perth, Asia Escape Holidays is one of Australia’s largest privately owned travel wholesalers, with a focus on destinations throughout Asia and the Indian Ocean rim. Under the terms of the Heads of Agreement Red Gum will acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Asia Escape Holidays for a consideration, on a post-consolidation basis, of 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Red Gum, at a deemed issue price of $0.20 each, together with a cash consideration of $1,500,000. Again settlement is subject to satisfaction of a number of conditions under the Agreement, including, without limitation, settlement of the Company’s acquisition of Holiday Planet, and shareholder approval.

After the Reporting Period, the Company entered into a similar Heads of Agreement to acquire a third entity, Motive Travel, as outlined in a further announcement on 2 July 2014. Motive Travel and Asia Escape, once aggregated with Holiday Planet, will form the largest WA based independent, e-platform leisure and tourism group.

The Company is currently preparing the necessary documents for shareholders, seeking shareholder approval to proceed with these acquisitions and change the focus of the Company.

Operationally the Company’s mining related field activities remained on hold. Non-essential exploration related activities in Chile and Peru were curtailed or suspended, and concurrently operational and administrative overheads were reviewed and reduced where practicable.

The relocation and consolidation of the former Combarbala operations back to Santiago was completed during the Reporting Period, following the Company's withdrawal from the original farmin arrangements with the concession holders of the Majada project, as previously announced. However, the Board decided that Red Gum’s 100% owned concessions, at Cerro Huancash, Chongos and La Negra, should remain in good standing, given that they represent significant potential opportunity, once sentiment in the commodity sector improves.

Safety and the Environment

During the Reporting Period there were no safety, or environmental, issues reported. No field activities were undertaken during this period by the Company.

CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL

During the Reporting Period the Board focussed its efforts on assessing new business opportunities, as well as putting in place sufficient funding so that the Company would be well positioned to take advantage of such opportunities as and when they arose. As outlined below there were a number of capital raisings, and an EGM at which shareholders were asked to approve a number of capital raising and other administrative related resolutions.

Securities issued:

  • On 28 April 2014 an Appendix 3B was lodged with the ASX, noting the issue of 40,000,000 Underwriter's options. This was related to the previous raising (as announced to the market on 10 March 2014) of approximately $582,022 in accordance with a fully underwritten renounceable rights issue of 194,007,468 ordinary shares, at $0.003 each, and 48,501,867 free attaching options exercisable at $0.01 each and expiring on 15 November 2017. Under the terms of the mandate agreement with DJ Carmichael, the Company issued the 40,000,000 Options at a consideration of $0.00001 each, exercisable at $0.01 each and expiring on 15 November 2017.

  • On 10 June 2014 an Appendix 3B was lodged with the ASX, noting the issue of 132,000,000 ordinary shares (comprising 62,000,000 under ASX LR 7.1 and 70,000,000 under ASX LR 7.1A) at $0.008 each and 26,000,000 Broker Options, at no consideration, exercisable at $0.01 each and expiring on 15 November 2017.

Convertible Loans converted into shares

As announced to the ASX on 23 February 2014 and 3 March 2014, Red Gum entered into a number of Convertible Loan Agreements (“Agreements”) with clients of DJ Carmichael, to borrow an aggregate of $530,000 (“Loans”).

Subsequently on 29 April 2014 the Company announced that the Loans were converted into 176,654,220 Ordinary Shares and 44,163,555 RGXOA Options, following shareholder approval at an EGM held on 28 April 2014. The Loans were converted into fully paid ordinary shares in Red Gum at the conversion price of $0.003 per share. For each 4 shares issued, Red Gum also issued one free option exercisable at $0.01 per share on or before 15 November 2017. This conversion fully satisfied the Loans and the Company has no further obligations concerning the Loans.

The Capital Structure of the Company as at 30 June 2014:

All resolutions were passed unanimously by a show of hands, and the results lodged on the ASX on 28 April 2014 following the meeting.

Subsequent Events

On 2 July 2014 the Company announced, in lifting a trading halt sought on 30 June 2014, that it had entered into a binding Heads of Agreement to acquire the Motive Travel business.

On 9 July 2014 the Company announced that it had signed a Share Sale Agreement to acquire all of the issued capital of Holiday Planet, as contemplated in the Heads of Agreement as announced on 4 June 2014.

On 22 July 2014 a substantial shareholder notice was lodged on behalf of interests held by Dead Knick Pty Ltd.

Reconciliation of expenditure

This is the fourth quarterly report for Red Gum Resources Limited for the year ending 30 June 2014.

Exploration and evaluation

The estimated exploration and evaluation expenditure cash flows amounted to $72,000 compared to actual expenditure of $99,000. The increase in actual expenditure was due to annual project tax costs being paid in June 2014.

Administration

The estimated administration and other fees expenditure cash flows included in the previous reporting period amounted to $153,000, compared to actual expenditure which amounted to $554,000. The increase in actual expenditure was due to legal, broker and consultants' fees of $280,000, a significant component of which included Lead Manager fees and broker/underwriter commissions paid to DJ Carmichael, under the terms of various capital raising mandates agreed with the Company.

Cash at the end of the Quarter

Cash at 30 June 2014 amounted to $2,074,889.

Attached is the Appendix 5B Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period from 1 April 2014 to 30 June 2014.

Nature of Interest - Notes

  • a) The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Red Gum Resources (Peru) Pty Ltd holds 99.99% of the shares in the Central Peru Resources (“CPR”), which in turn holds 100% of the four Peruvian Projects.

  • b) In 2012 Red Gum exercised its option to acquire the 100% interest in the La Negra Project which was registered on a 100% basis on 19 July 2012.

  • c) In March 2014 the Company notified each of the individual nine concession holders that it intended to give notice of its intention to withdraw from the Option Agreements entered into in March 2013. That agreement provided that by making staged, six monthly, optional payments totalling 679.5 million Chilean pesos (A$ 1.44 million at the then exchange rate) to the owners over a 3 year period from the date of signature, the Company could earn a 100% interest. After withdrawing from those agreements the Company no longer has any financial obligations concerning the Project, nor the right to earn any interests. During the Reporting Period the Company sought to renegotiate terms with the concession holders. These negotiations have been put on hold, given the shift of focus of the Company’s activities.
