LionGold loses S$6.3m

Outstanding borrowings have been reduced though.

LionGold Corp Ltd reported that for the six months ending 30 September 2012, gross profit of $10.1 million was achieved on a 39% increase in turnover to S$55.8 million. The boost was due to the consolidation of a recently acquired gold mining subsidiary.

The company said net loss for the period was S$6.3 million, largely unchanged from one year ago.

LionGold said non-cash items collectively totalling S$5.9 million included unrealised foreign exchange losses, the amortisation of the convertible bonds due in 2015, and the reduction in the bonds’ “fair value” as calculated for equity conversion.

Meanwhile capital raisings and acquisitions in the period have seen a dramatic change, with net assets up more than six-fold to S$187.4 million.

Cash and equivalents for the end of the financial reporting period increased substantially to S$46.4 million. Outstanding borrowings, on the other hand, have been reduced from S$30.8 million to S$18.2 million following a US$23 million convertible bond issue in May 2012.

For the second half of the current financial year ending 31 March 2013, the results of wholly-owned subsidiaries Castlemaine and Brimstone will be fully consolidated into the Group’s accounts.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
