LionGold warns of loss

Among the culprits were exchange losses arising from a USD loan extended to a subsidiary.

The Board of Directors of LionGold Corp Ltd announced that the company and its subsidiaries are expected to report a loss before tax for the half year ended 30 September 2012.

Based on a preliminary review of the Group’s performance, the loss is mainly attributable to: 1. professional and other related expenses incurred by the Group for due diligence investigations in the Group’s corporate exercises, including acquisition of gold mining assets; 2. exchange losses arising from a USD loan extended to a subsidiary; and 3. fair value loss on derivative financial instruments and amortisation expenses related to the USD23 million aggregate principal amount of 9% convertible bonds due 2015.

The Group is in the process of finalising its half year financial results for FY2013, which will be released on or before 14 November 2012.

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.
