MARKET UPDATE
Paladio Group Limited (ASX:PDO) advises that a wholly owned subsidiary company (McFee Pty Ltd) has not received full payment owing for work completed for Windimurra Vanadium Limited (ASX:WVL) which yesterday advised Administrators and Receivers and Managers were appointed.
While at present we are not in position to form a view as to the recoverability of the amount owed, the Board of Paladio has made a prudent decision to make a provision of $4m in the second half of this financial year, which covers the full amount outstanding to Paladio on the Windimurra project.
Paladio Managing Director, Victor Kuss said despite this event, and despite incurring substantially all the costs associated with the Windimurra project in the first half of this year, the company remained cash flow positive for that period. The company’s remaining contracts are with major blue chip customers, including Woodside and BHP Billiton.
Paladio remains confident it is well placed to deliver a profit for the full year despite this setback on Windimurra.
