Compass, the accounts that will be issued sometime next week will be the year end accounts. Don’t forget the figures won’t be very good, it’s the commentary that comes with the accounts that will be more interesting.
I posted this the other day.
‘The next full accounts are the year end accounts (which actually cover the 10 month period to 31st December 2017).
I don’t expect these to be very exciting; they will show a loss due to the poor first 6 months to 31st August 2017. The first 6 months were hit by the Afritin demerger write down of £7.6m, causing an interim loss of £6.7m.
During the final 4 months of this period, from 1st September to 31st December 2017, we only held a minority interest in Vametco, so the revenue/profits generated by Vametco can’t be consolidated into the group accounts. These profits will be accounted for under the ‘equity method of accounting’.
In late December 2017, we acquired the majority Vametco holding and so from that point we will be consolidating the Vametco figures into our group accounts.
The next quarterly production figures to 30th June 2018 will be out in July and these should show increased production for Q2.
The very important H1 figures will be published by 30/9/18. These figures should be exceptional with FeV averaging over $60 per kg in Europe for the first 6 months of the year and even higher in the US. (And rising!)
There is plenty of other news expected that will drive the share price over the next few weeks/months’.
Very exciting times ahead :)
