Project costs - from page 2 on Allenby Capital's Game Changing Transaction for CAP-XX
The acquisition involves minimal capital outlay (c. A$670k/£360k) that covers the cost of the Murata assets plus an additional piece of third-party equipment (A$225k/£120k) out of a total project budget of (A$5.8m/£3.1m). The balance will be used for labour, travel, freight, training, installation and recommissioning at a new manufacturing facility in Sydney. It should be noted that Murata will assist CAP-XX with the transport and recommissioning of the lines in Sydney and both Murata and CAP-XX have previously successfully relocated manufacturing lines overseas. Management estimates the cost of replicating the Murata manufacturing lines at A$50m to A$100m including the cost of manufacturing knowhow. CAP-XX should also be eligible for increased R&D rebates as a result of the acquisition (c. A$2.0m p.a.), as well as a one-off incentive (c. A$2.2m) and we would expect some lease incentives from the company’s new landlord (c. A$0.3m). The additional funds (A$1.9m/£1.0m) will be used for general working capital and the increased operating cost base required for the expanded manufacturing operations.
